Leading up to the event, David fields inquiries from steamboat collectors, enthusiasts and from people who don’t know much about steamboats but want to find out more. “We have been getting a lot of calls asking about the event,” he says.

As president of the Lee’s Mills Steamboat Association, he coordinates steamboat participants and catering and a lot more as he and his helpers prepare for the annual steamboat event.

“Gee, I can’t believe it’s been 45 years!” says Lee’s Mills Steamboat Meet founder and organizer, David Thompson. He laughs as he recalls the early steamboat meet “back in 1972” that came about after some guys who liked antique boats got talking about having a get-together. It was planned to be some boat lovers meeting up to show off their boats and maybe have a picnic or cookout.

These days, steamboat enthusiasts from all over the world attend the steamboat meet at the Lee’s Mills locaSteamboating during the meet.

According to the my son’s steam truck and would take event founder/organizer, if you are into it back to England with them if they steamboats, attending the Lee’s Mill could!”

Meet is a bit of a rite of passage.

As the calendar turns to September, David laughs as he says, “If you hathoughts turn to fall activities, such ven’t been to the event, you need to atas apple festivals, fairs and pumpkin tend because everyone does at one time carving. But if you live in the Lakes or another.”

• Steamboat Continued from page 3 he has passed his love on to his sons Dave Jr., Blair and Brian. His daughter, Kelly, contributes to the event by making a variety of foods and her famous apple pies! No one leaves the meet hungry, according to David.

Steamboating just seems to come naturally to David and his sons (Dave Jr., Blair and Brian). David grew up spending a lot of time at Goodhue Hawkins Navy Yard in Wolfeboro where his father and grandfather worked on the lake running and fixing commercial steamboats.

“My grandfather had steamboats in the early 1900s and my Dad followed.

In the 1930s, the last of the steamboats were dying off. After that, they went to gas powered. Then, during World War II with the gasoline shortage, steamboats were a good way to get around,” David says.

David learned at a young age how to work on the little steam-powered vessels. Over the years, he has owned many steamboats and he loves to talk about the old-fashioned vessels. This year, as in the recent past, he will be bringing his Viking 1969 steamboat to the meet.

Historically, the Lee’s Mills meet started casually and to a large extent, the event has continued to have a laidback, come-as-you-are atmosphere. “I started the meet in the early 1970s after we were down at the Weirs for a boat show.” David and fellow steamboat owners/friends discussed the growing interest in antique boats and steamboats. The group talked about having a cookout. A few steamboater owners showed up and it just grew from there.

Those who come to show off their steamboats, to share stories and ask questions about problems they may be having with their steamboat are all welcome, although you must contact David ahead of time at 603-476-2224 to let him know you will be bringing a steamboat to the event.

Last year’s event saw about 300 people a day on weekdays and about 1,500 people on weekend days, quite a healthy number of people who are interested and curious about steamboats.

David says it takes a lot of wood to fire the steamboats at the meet, but it is just one of the many things that it takes to run the meet.

David’s family is involved in the popular Lee’s Mills event. Daughter Kelly runs the Cook Nook at the steamboat meet and sells lots of homemade

foods and even homemade pies. David chuckles as he relays that his daughter “always has apple pies in the freezer, ready to go, with more to be made!”

Kelly makes and freezes the pies – which is a lot of work – and bakes them the night before the steamboat meet begins. Hungry boaters and spectators are very grateful for all Kelly’s baking, and the food is a popular part of the event.

Son Brian seems to have inherited his father’s love for “tinkering.” Brian, with the help of a friend, built a beautiful steam-fired truck that took over a year to build. It is a model of a 1908 English steam powered truck and quite a conversation piece.

Just being at the meet and seeing the incredibly beautiful little steamboats is a treat in itself. (Be prepared to watch the steamboats taking it slow – they typically travel about four to six miles per hour.)

“The boat owners are all very friendly and they love to answer questions,” says David.

Although the atmosphere of the meet is casual and there is no spectator admission fee, donations are always welcome.

It seems there is something for everyone at the upcoming steamboat meet. If you love to “tinker with engines” or if you enjoy history and old boats or have a love of photography and are looking

for some unique subject matter, the meet has it all. And if you love a good home cooked dessert or meal, you will find a lot to choose from at the meet as well!

While steam boating is a very specialized hobby, it seems to draw people like a magnet. It has been a part of David’s life since he was a child and he is happy to share his knowledge and love of this piece of boating history with others.

Organizing the 45th annual Lee’s Mills Steamboat Meet may indeed be a lot of work, but this time of year excitement runs high in the Thompson household as David answers phone calls and prepares for the event.

As the calendar turns to September, get ready for the unique event that offers something for everyone. Bring the kids, bring older family members and friends for a look back at steam boating. And plan to celebrate the 45th anniversary of one of the most unique events held yearly on Lake Winnipesaukee.

For information on the September 8 to 17 Annual Lee’s Mills Steamboat Meet, call David Thompson at 603476-2224. Lee’s Mills Road, the site of the steamboat meet, is located off Rt. 25 in Moultonboro, NH. Follow Lee’s Mills Road and the Loon Center signs; the meet is beyond the Center.)

Make a Vow: Bike This Fall!

Story by Barbara Neville Wilson Photos by Jeb Wallace Brodeur Fall in New Hampshire is not meant to be savored from inside a car, barreling down the highway at 55-plus miles per hour. Make a vow now. Take time this season to slow down and meander off the beaten track—on two wheels. The Lakes Region is home to hundreds of miles of bike paths, bike trails, and bike-able scenic roads.

Bike Paths: Thanks to the rich railroad history of the region, the area offers several recreational paths built on or alongside the beds of oncebusy railroads. Shared by walkers, runners, bikers, wheelchairs— often snowmobilers in winter—and sometimes horses and even railway Putt-Putt cars, they are a safe place for new and returning bikers to set a leisurely pace without worrying about automobile traffic.

Winnipesaukee/Opechee/ Winnisquam (WOW) Trail-1.7 miles: End points are on Elm Street and Union Avenue (Lakeport) and Belmont town line. Set on the southwest shore of Winnipesaukee, this flat, paved trail is 10 feet wide and a favorite for families with kids. It runs through downtown Laconia, next to the railroad

Riders enjoy beautiful views of Lake Opechee and convenient access to the Freighthouse Museum where local rail history is shared and artifacts are displayed.

A stop for a quick snack or lunch in downtown Laconia or a tour of the historic Belknap Mill can make a ride a lovely day trip. Plans are set for the WOW Trail to eventually follow the

A paved trail has a public beach and playground, and there also are picnic restroom facilities at the Leslie Roberts Facility.

Riders can expect gorgeous views of the lake and lots of company, as it’s a favorite with walkers, runners and dog walkers.

Don’t miss the unique Sulphite Bridge along this hard pack gravel and dirt trail. It is perhaps the only upside-down covered bridge in the United States. You’ll also see ruins of mills and dams, testaments to the manufacturing that made the region an industrial hub in the 19th and 20th centuries, and why the railroad was built here.

Parking and restroom facilities are available at Wolfeboro and Sanbornville, as well as at Fernald Station on Route 109 and Albee Beach off Route 28. The entire 12 miles of trail will be complete this fall, and follows the Wolfeboro spur of the Boston & Maine Railroad. The hard-pack trail crosses tracks at points along the way, so caution is required. The picturesque trail crosses causeways across Crescent Lake and Lake Wentworth and travels through nature preserves. The Albee Beach offers a chance to bask on the beach or enjoy a picnic on a warm and sunny late summer/fall day.

The Turntable Park at the Sanbornville terminus features a restored B & M turntable. Club members of the Cotton Valley Rail Trail, who run railway motorcar or “putt putt” cars along it several times a year, perform much of the maintenance work on the Cotton Valley Trail. It is believed to be the only rail trail in the United States where Putt Putt cars share the way with recreational users in this manner.

The New England Mountain Bike Association (www.nemba.org) describes The Dam this way, “Much of the terrain is very ‘un-New England like’ with very few rocks. As a result, Franklin Falls is known for its flowing, buff single track. It is a great venue for group rides with mixed skill levels. Experts can enjoy high-speed tree slaloming, while novices can enjoy the trails at a more relaxed pace without getting in over their heads in difficulty level.

ly well when seen against a backdrop of turning leaves. The less congested, eastern shore of Winnipesaukee and its surrounding towns offer a safer, and, perhaps, less stressful experience than biking in other areas of the region.

Even so, the roads rarely have shoulders. Steve Flagg, owner of Wolfeboro’s Nordic Skier bike shop is quick to remind cyclists that they have the same legal rights as automobiles. By law, they have the right to take up as much of the road lane as they need for safety and practical maneuvering.

Bike tour books often suggest trips in Tamworth/Sandwich and Wolfeboro/ Tuftonboro. Books found in libraries and secondhand shops may have been written several years ago and feature shops and stops no longer there, but the roads and mileage rarely change.

Tamworth/Sandwich, 23 miles, moderate: 30 Bicycle Tours in New Hampshire features a lovely tour of Tamworth and North Sandwich, an area steeped in history and developing now into a trendy entertainment mecca. Start this tour in the center of Tamworth, parking on a Main Street featuring the venerable Barnstormers Theater (the oldest summer stock theater in the nation), the Remick Country Doctor Museum & Farm, and the modish Tamworth Lyceum, Mercantile and Distillery, flanked by the modestly named The Other Store.

Ride away from Cleveland Hill toward Route 113, turning left at the historical marker onto Route 113A. You will pass the site of the former Chinook

Kennels where Alaskan sled dogs were raised for Admiral Richard Byrd’s Antarctic Expeditions. Just off 113A, on Gardner Hill Road is the famous NH Mushroom Company increasingly known for its foraging and “Can You Eat It?” classes.

Follow Route 113A for more than 13 miles until it takes a hairpin left onto NH 113 East in North Sandwich. At the T of Routes 113 and 25, turn left and ride along the Bearcamp River to the “Whittier” section of Tamworth, named for the poet John Greenleaf Whittier.

Highway Route 25 has a wide, smooth shoulder but watch carefully, for it can narrow precipitously at bridges. At the fork just beyond Mile 20, turn left, and continue turning and bearing left to stay on Route 113 until you get to Main Street and return to your vehicle.

Wolfeboro/Tuftonboro, 30 miles, strenuous: Cantele’s Backroad Bicycling in New Hampshire features an itinerary that starts at Wolfeboro’s Back Bay municipal parking lot. We have modified the author’s directions a little to avoid the congestion and parking hazards of Wolfeboro’s Main Street. From the parking lot, head toward Back Bay and turn right on the Cotton Valley Trail. Follow it, passing by the water ski course and ruins of the former mill, over the boardwalk that crosses the old dam.

At Center Street, take a left and almost immediately, bear left onto Route 109A. At about mile 7 is the Tuftonboro General Store, said to be the longest continuously running general store in the state. A little over a mile later, bear right onto Sodom Road where you’ll catch glimpses of mountains through wooded acres. At 11+ miles you’ll turn left at the junction of Route 171 where you will pass the entrances to Castle in the Clouds. As the name implies, the destination is atop the mountain, so perhaps left for a non-bicycling tour another time.

At the stop sign, make a sharp left onto Route 109 to start your return trip south. For the next five miles, enjoy glimpses of the Ossipee Mountains on the left and at mile 20, scenic vistas of Lake Winnipesaukee at Melvin Village. Continue south, bearing right onto Route 109, glimpsing Winnipesaukee on the right and Mirror Lake on the left. It’s downhill for the majority of the return ride to Wolfeboro’s downtown.

Castle in the Clouds Asks the Public to Help Solve Research Mysteries Michelle Landry hopes the public might hold the key to solving some of Castle in the Clouds’ long-standing mysteries. As Curatorial Director, she is overseeing the restoration of the rooms at Lucknow, a nationally significant Arts & Crafts estate built by millionaire Thomas Plant in the Ossipee Mountains of Moultonboro in 1914.

Landry believes that photographs taken by past visitors could provide the evidence she needs for some key furnishing decisions. “We hear many stories about furniture and artwork once on display, historic wallpapers now gone, and even the way the landscape has changed over time. To separate fact from hearsay and legend, we need more information. We’re inviting people to help us by sharing their photographs or other collections in hopes that they might reveal crucial supporting evidence.”

Richard Robie opened the Castle to the public in 1959, just a few years after he purchased the property with its panoramic views of Lake Winnipesaukee for his summer home. In the 1990s, under subsequent owners, the water bottling plant and Lucknow Brewery were built. Guests who visited then might have toured these facilities and bought souvenirs, items also of interest to the curatorial team at the Castle.

As part of the current major pres-

Castle in the Clouds Curatorial Director Michelle Landry shares the story of the Castle’s Aeolian Organ with campers from the Wolfeboro Recreation Department. The organ is just one of many features of the 1914 house that Landry is hoping to learn more about by inviting visitors from the past 60 years to share their photographs and recollections. (Courtesy photo)

ervation effort, the house’s 16 rooms are gradually being restored to their original appearance as shown in photographs taken by George Perry in the 1920s. At that time, retired Boston shoe manufacturer, Thomas G. Plant and his wife, Olive Dewey Plant, were living on the estate and seeking to sell it by means of a series of expensively pro-

duced brochures and advertisements.

Landry specifically hopes that a photograph of the Castle’s dining room rug might come to light. The original rug, which appears in some historic photographs, was removed from the mansion sometime in the 1990s. “We have just a few images showing this emerald green, octagonal rug, but there isn’t enough detail for us to confidently have a replica made. If someone has a photograph that shows the rug’s border pattern in detail, this could be a real breakthrough for the project.”

But pictures and evidence from any decade of the Castle’s existence could be very helpful. “If any images turn up that show the Castle before the 1950s,

those would be extremely valuable to us as well,” notes Landry. Photographs are an important part of the research and restoration planning underway now, and may be donated or simply loaned for copying, making an invaluable addition to the Castle’s archive.

Brochures, admission tickets, and other types of souvenirs and ephemera related to the Castle would also be of great value to the current research effort, as would locating original furnishings and artwork. For instance, only the player console and decorative pipes from the Castle’s original Aeolian organ remain in place, but the remainder of the instrument may still be in the area, and Landry would love to locate it.

“It’s very possible that, if enough material surfaces, we may be able to produce an exhibit that tells the story of how the Castle property became an iconic New England tourist destination,” said Landry. “The public can play a very important role in the current work we do here at the Castle to preserve and share the fascinating story of this great estate.”

If you have an item of interest that you would like to share with Landry, please email her at curator@castleintheclouds.org or call the curatorial office at 603-476-5418.

Castle in the Clouds is owned and operated by the not-for-profit Castle Preservation Society whose mission is to preserve, interpret and share the buildings and landscape of the Castle in the Clouds as a historical and cultural resource for the Lakes Region. It is located off Route 171 in Moultonboro and is open seven days a week through Sunday, October 22.

Lakes Region Conservation Trust Offers Guided Hike Join the Lakes Region Conservation Trust for a guided hike on Saturday, September 9 from 10 am to 1 pm to celebrate two LRCT land conservation projects in the Belknap Range Conservation Coalition (BRCC) Focus Area and along the headwaters of the Suncook River in Gilmanton.

These projects are the 124-acre

projects and for the people who made them possible, Nancy Rendall and Marilyn and Michael Fenollosa. This will be followed by an optional guided hike on the conserved land led by Nancy Rendall.

The Rendall Conservation Easement property encompasses significant parts of a large wetland complex below the outlets of Lake Eileen and Manning Lake, and includes riparian buffer and a perennial stream system that is part of the headwaters of the Suncook River. The property also includes fieldstone house and barn foundations and fieldstone walls marking intensive agricultural use in the past. The conservation easement was donated to LRCT by Nancy Rendall, and the property is now owned by the Fenollosas.

The former Fenollosa parcel contains what was the last unprotected portion of a significant wetland and stream system that is part of the Suncook River headwaters, and approximately one-third of the parcel is classified as highest ranked habitat in the state under the NH Wildlife Action Plan.

When the land was in danger of being sold for development, Marilyn and Mike Fenollosa stepped forward to acquire and hold it for more than a year until funding for LRCT’s acquisition could be secured. Nancy Rendall donated professional services for project planning and wetlands assessment needed to obtain grant funding, and the effort came to a

Rendall Conservation Easement and the abutting 88-acre former Fenollosa property, which lie between Guinea Ridge Road and the Griswold Scout Reservation (Camp Bell and Hidden Valley Camp) just downstream from Manning Lake and Lake Eileen.

The program will begin with light refreshments and recognition for these

successful conclusion when LRCT received the necessary grant from the NH Department of Environmental Services Aquatic Resource Mitigation Fund.

LRCT is very grateful to Nancy Rendall and the Fenollosas for their generosity and dedication to the success of these projects, as well as to the ARM Fund for its support for the Fenollosa project. LRCT’s conservation of these key parcels builds on other conservation achievements in the Belknap Range Focus Area in recent years involving LRCT, the Society for the Protection of NH Forests, BRCC, and others committed to conservation of the extraordinary scenic, natural, recreational, and historical resources of the Belknaps.

Participation in this event will be limited and registration is required. To register for this program and to learn more about this event please visit www.lrct.org.

The Lakes Region Conservation Trust was founded in 1979 to conserve the natural heritage of New Hampshire’s Lakes Region. To date, LRCT has conserved more than 145 properties totaling over 25,000 acres.

LRCT’s conservation and stewardship work preserves community character, conserves critical wildlife habitat and diverse ecosystems, protects natural landmarks and scenic landscapes, and provides outdoor recreation opportunities for people of all ages.

Meredith’s “Do the Loop” Expands “Beyond the Map”

One of Greater Meredith Program’s (GMP) ongoing projects to enhance economic vitality expanded this year to “Do the Loop” and “Beyond the Map.” Directional signs and brochures located at the town’s docks and on the GMP’s website (http://greatermeredithprogram.com/do-the-loop) serve as a directory of participating Meredith shopping, service, lodging, and dining establishments. Merchants listed in the walkable “Do the Loop” campaign are located on Main Street and in the Mill Falls Marketplace. Merchants listed in a “Beyond the Map” section are located at a short distance.

The “Do the Loop” promotional campaign invites people to walk the

loop around town, stop in to participating businesses, get a punch card, and complete it for a chance to win prizes. Locating the map and brochures at the busy boardwalk near the town docks entices residents and visitors who arrive by boat or park in the lot to Meredith destinations they may have overlooked.

Over 30 participating businesses identified by “Do the Loop” window stickers provide punch cards to patrons. Patrons need just 15 punches to complete the card before entering it into a drawing for prizes. The punch cards go into a receptacle available 24/7 in the lobby of Mill Falls at the Lake on Dover and Main Streets.

Sign and brochures at Meredith’s town docks beckon to “Do the Loop” of Main Street and to venture “Beyond the Map” to patronize area businesses.

The 2nd annual prize drawing scheduled for late October includes a Meredith Merchant gift basket bonanza, an overnight stay at Mill Falls at the Lake, or a tour and tasting for four at Hermit Woods Winery.

The Greater Meredith Program (GMP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit community development organization

seeking to enhance economic vitality, historical and cultural heritage, and town-wide beautification. For more information about GMP or volunteer opportunities, please call 603-279-9015, email gmp@greatermeredithprogram. com, visit on Facebook, or www.greatermeredithprogram.com.

New Talent at Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery The new exhibit at the Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery in Center Sandwich is titled Eyes on New Talenth. The artists participating in the exhibit are for the most part local or in a few cases, exhibitors are among those that visit the Lakes Region for large parts of the year. All are serious in their pursuit of excellence when it comes to making art.

The nine artists are Christy Bensley, Meredith Gisness, Betty Webster and Travis Bullard from Center Sandwich; Rhetta Colon and Wendy Wilson from Meredith: Pam Tarica and Shelley Holtzman from Center Harbor and Pam Urda from Moultonboro. This is a

refreshing exhibit of work in all media: oil on canvas, watercolor, acrylic, graphite, mixed media and sculpture.

This fall seemed like a good time to show new talent at the gallery. Work is figurative, abstract or somewhere in between. There are some fine hands as is seen in the work of Rhett Colon and some bold color as in the work of Pam Urda. Travis Bullard is a sculptor who works in wood, while multi-talented Meredith Gisness and Wendy Wilson present abstracted work. Lovely landscapes of the lake are seen in the work of Christy Bensley, Pam Tarica and Shelly Holtzman. Betty Webster has her own charming interpretation of

Tee Up for Golf This Fall!

By Sarah Wright Golfing is a pretty big deal in the Lakes Region. In fact, it’s right up there with boating as one of the most popular hobbies in the area. With the natural beauty and scenic vistas in the region, it’s the perfect place to enjoy a round of golf. When I drive by one of our wonderful local golf courses, with rolling green hills, and perfectly manicured fairways, I get the itch to play. Of course, I’m also tempted to throw down a picnic blanket and have lunch, too! Here are some of the amazing golf courses you’ll find in the Lakes Region. Some are private, some are public, and some are a mix between the two. When in doubt, call for further

information.

Lake Winnipesaukee Golf Club is a private, 18-hole Clive Clark championship course, where 700 mountain acres shelter almost 7,000 yards of magic. For 14 straight years, Golf Digest has listed the Lake Winnipesaukee Golf Club as one of the top courses in the state. The club offers professional lessons as well as exceptional practice facilities, top notch dining, and a golf shop for all of your golfing needs. The club is located at One Lake Winnipesaukee Drive, in New Durham. For membership information and other questions, call 603-569-3055 or visit www.lwgcnh. com.

The Laconia Country Club, situated on over 200 acres in Laconia, was originally established in 1922. Back then, the course attracted the Boston elite and celebrity vacationers. Notable players visiting the Laconia Country Club through the years include Mickey Rooney, Jack Benny, Lee Majors, Bobby Orr, Guy Larose, Trace Adkins, Owen Wilson, and professional golfers Betsy Rawls and Gene Sarazeen. The recently redesigned (and walkable) 18-hole course offers challenges for beginners to low handicaps, and the natural layout includes fantastic views among its rolling hills. The Laconia Country Club is located at 607 Elm Street in Laconia. For further information, call 603-524-1274 or visit www.laconiacountryclub.com.

The historic Kingswood Golf Club in Wolfeboro was founded back in 1915, and is a semi-private, classic Donald Ross championship course (18 hole, par 72) that’s open to the public. The club has a driving range/ practice area, putting green, fully stocked pro shop, golf lessons, club rentals, golf carts, lounge, and the Kingswood Greenside Tavern, hosted

by Morrissey’s Steakhouse. The club is located at 24 Kingswood Road in Wolfeboro. To inquire about lessons or tee times, call 603-569-3569 or

visit www.kingswoodgolfclub.com for more information.

Oak Hill Golf Course at 159 Pease Road in Meredith is a 9-hole, public course that caters to players of all abilities.

Waukewan Golf Club in Center Harbor has 18 characteristic holes, beautiful scenic vistas, a driving range, practice green and practice sand trap area, PGA professional instruction, a pro shop featuring Ping, Titleist, Nike, and Taylor Made, and tasty menu items at The Farmhouse Grill.

Many visitors to the course would be surprised to learn that the property was once a cattle and horse farm. In 1948, a veterinarian, Dr. Melvyn Hale, purchased the property. Then, around 1955, Dr. Hale decided to rough out the land to build a nine-hole golf course.

Three years later in 1958, the course opened to the public. He later closed his veterinary practice, and completed the next nine holes together with his two sons. Golfers still appreciate Dr. Hale’s efforts today, and the course has many fans. The Waukewan Golf Club is located at 166 Waukewan Road in Center Harbor. Call 603-279-6661 for further information and to book tee times, or visit ww.waukewangolfclub. com.

The White Mountain Country Club

in Ashland is an 18-hole, championship course designed by renowned golf course architect, Geoffrey Cornish.

Golfers of all abilities will enjoy a truly great golfing experience. Not only can you have a tasty lunch at the fullservice lounge and grill after you play, but there’s also a beverage service on the course. And why not turn your golf outing into a mini-vacation? The White Mountain Country Club has “stay and play” townhouse condos adjacent to the first tee for your convenience. Sounds like fun to me! The club is located at 3 Country Club Drive in Ashland.

We’ve had such a beautiful summer and fall looks to be good as well, weather-wise. There have been many perfect days to play golf, and I’m predicting many more to come this season. Whether you’re a newbie or a seasoned player, golfing is a great way to have fun while getting some exercise, together with friends or family. The only question is, “Which beautiful course will you choose?”

New Hampshire Boat Museum Readies for 10th Biennial Race Boat Regatta on Lake Winnipesaukee Vintage Boats from all over the US and Canada are expected The New Hampshire Boat Museum is preparing for its 10th biennial Wolfeboro Vintage Race Boat Regatta, to be held on Wolfeboro Bay on Lake Winnipesaukee September 15 and 16.

The two-day event will be filled with the thrilling spectacle of vintage triple cockpits, outboards, Gold Cup racers, skiffs, and hydroplanes running in heats around a one-mile course. To learn more about all the details of the event, visit nhbm.org and click on the Regatta icon for details.

The Wolfeboro Regatta is regarded as one of the best venues on the vintage race boat circuit. Race crews are signed up to attend from as far south as Florida and western Canada. It is anticipated that over 40 crews will be present this year.

Since its inception, the event has expanded to include daytime and evening activities for the race crews and public. The heats will occur on Friday and Saturday from 9 am to 5 pm, with over 40 vintage race boats performing demonstration laps on a one-mile oval course on the Bay. The public is invited to see and hear these boats run from the Wolfeboro Town Docks during these days. There is no charge to watch the heats from the docks.

For those wishing to view the action up close from the water, the Winnipesaukee Belle will be offering

Jersey Skiffs racing on Wolfeboro Bay. (Courtesy photo) rides throughout the day. The cost for the water tours is $12.00 per person.

Tickets can be purchased at the Regatta on the Town Docks in Wolfeboro.

For those more adventurous, many of the race boat drivers are donating rides on their race boats with the proceeds going to the NH Boat Museum. The cost for these charity rides will range from $100.00 to $300.00 depending on the chosen boat. To view the boats which are giving charity rides, visit the Regatta section of the Museum’s website at nhbm.org.

Those attending the Regatta will be given the opportunity to view the crew staging area also known as the Hot Pits. This secured area will be open to the public only between heats, but will allow spectators the opportunity to meet drivers and crew and see the boats up close.

This year’s Race Boat Regatta is sponsored by Bradley’s Hardware, Coco Engineering, Alton Bay Yacht Club, NAPA Auto Parts - Wolfeboro, Danna’s Collision Repair, J. Clifton Avery Insurance, HK Powersport in Hooksett, Bayside Concrete, Brock’s Building Supply, B&B Service Center, Rochester Toyota, Advantage Construction, Knight Security, Kenneth A. Lane Master Electrician, Ramsey Plumbing & Heating, Sal’s Advanced Auto, and Wolfeboro Car Wash & Executive Detail.

In-kind sponsors are assisting the Race Boat Regatta including Reliable Crane Service, Andrew’s Marine Service/Lake Tow, Corinthian Yacht Club, Wolfetrap Grill and Rawbar, Watermark Marine Supply, Stark Creative, Three Sisters’ Country Store, The Wolfeboro Inn, Jo Greens, Dive Winnipesaukee, J.C. Signs, and Carrier’s Construction.

This well-planned event requires much coordination and collaboration with the American Power Boat Association, State of New Hampshire Marine Patrol, Town of Wolfeboro and the support of the community. Over 100 volunteers fill many stations including registration, hot pits, parking, and set-up and clean up to name a few. If you’re interested in volunteering for a shift please call the Museum at 5694544.

The New Hampshire Boat Museum is open daily to the public for the 2017 season through Monday, October 9, from 10 am to 4 pm, Monday through Saturday, and Sunday from 12 noon to 4 pm. The Museum is a not-forprofit institution focusing on New Hampshire’s boating and fresh water heritage. It is located at 399 Center Street, Wolfeboro Falls, two miles from downtown Wolfeboro in the former Allen “A” Resort dance hall.

For further information contact the Museum at 603-569-4554, museum@nhbm.org, www.nhbm.org or via Facebook. The New Hampshire Boat Museum is a member of the “Experience New Hampshire Heritage: The Portsmouth to Plymouth Museum Trail.” To learn more about the Trail, visit nhmuseumtrail.org.

The LPC reports only one loon chick hatched on Squam Lake The Loon Preservation Committee (LPC) reports that only a single loon chick hatched on Squam Lake in 2017. Both the LPC and Squam Lakes Association (SLA), two conservation organizations in the Lakes Region, asks the public to give the loon family plenty of space. Please make sure to stay at least 150 feet from them so the parents can concentrate on taking care of themselves and their chick. If the adult shows any signs of distress such as stretching its neck low over the water, swimming away, or vocalizing, please give them more space. Please use caution if you are boating in an area marked by LPC’s orange “Caution: Loon Chick” signs. Boat and personal watercraft collisions are the second-leading documented cause of chick mortality, and LPC and SLA request that no waterskiing, tubing, or use of personal watercraft take place in the section of the lake marked with the signage.

“It’s a full-time job for two loon parents to raise one or two loon chicks over the course of the summer,” said Harry Vogel, Senior Biologist/Executive Director of the Loon Preservation Committee. “It’s important that we give them some space to minimize disturbances and allow them to focus on caring for and feeding their chicks, rather than watching us because we are too close.

The best way to observe loons is with a good pair of binoculars. The best way to photograph them is with a long

Biologist. “We can all give this chick the best possible chance in life by giving it plenty of space, boating carefully in the areas marked with chick signs, and using only non-lead fishing tackle.”

Loons are a threatened species in New Hampshire and are protected by state and federal laws from hunting or harassment, including following adults with chicks. If you see a sick or injured loon, please call the Loon Preservation Committee at 603-476-5666, or if you observe harassment of loons, please contact the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department at 603-271-3361 or Marine Patrol at 603-293-2037 for assistance.

NH Poetry Out Loud 2017-2018 As New Hampshire educators continue to find innovative ways to engage their students, high schools will incorporate the Poetry Out Loud program into their English Language Arts curriculum again this school year. The NH State Council on the Arts has opened registration for the 2017-2018 program, which is limited to 45 high schools and high school groups.

Managed in New Hampshire by the State Arts Council, Poetry Out Loud is a nationwide program where students analyze the language and context of poems that span eight centuries. Participants memorize and recite poems from hundreds that have been identified by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Poetry Foundation

to represent the breadth of great poetry internationally and across generations.

Competitors are judged on the quality of their presentation, accuracy and evidence of understanding.

Participating schools and school groups are provided with free training, professional development clinics and resources for educators; poetry recitation and public speaking clinics for students; and access to an updated online poetry anthology. Approximately 10,000 New Hampshire high schoolaged students consistently participate, mastering public speaking skills, building self-confidence and learning about their literary heritage.

In New Hampshire, winners represent their high school at four region-

al, semi-final competitions; semi-final winners then participate in the state championship. The state champion travels to Washington, D.C., for the national finals, where more than $50,000 in college scholarships and prizes is awarded to the top finishers.

New Hampshire’s Poetry Out Loud supporters include the Putnam Foundation – a donor-advised fund of the N.H. Charitable Foundation – and the New Hampshire Writers’ Project.

Other partners include the Poetry Society of New Hampshire, the Arts

Alliance of Northern New Hampshire and the Frost Place.

New Hampshire educators interested in having their high school or regional group participate in 2017-2018 New Hampshire Poetry Out Loud and who would like more information should contact Julianne Gadoury, 603271-0791, julianne.gadoury@nh.gov.

To learn about New Hampshire Poetry Out Loud 2017-2018 or to register, go to: nh.gov/nharts and click on the “Poetry Out Loud” button.

Housing Coalition seeks volunteers for its board The Eastern Lakes Region Housing Coalition is seeking community minded volunteers to join its Board of Directors.

Residents from the Coalition’s service area towns of Alton, Effingham, Farmington, Freedom, Middleton, Milton, Moultonborough, New Durham, Ossipee, Sandwich, Tamworth, Tuftonboro, Wolfeboro and Wakefield are encouraged to apply. The Board of Directors meets monthly on the second Thursday of the month from 3:30 to 5 pm, usually in Wolfeboro.

Board recruits would be welcomed to join the Coalitions committees: community education, fundraising,

governance and finance, depending on your area of interest. Committees meet periodically as needed.

Formed in 2005, the Eastern Lakes Region Housing Coalition is a certified 501c3 nonprofit organization that currently functions with a 12-member volunteer board of directors and one, part-time staff program director.

The Coalition works with its sister coalitions in the Mount Washington Valley and the Seacoast regions to promote awareness of the need for housing for our region’s workforce.

The Coalition’s mission includes educating the public regarding the need for workforce housing, providing

guidance to regulatory boards and facilitating the development of workforce housing wherever practical.

This past year, the Coalition hosted two informative forums on new regulations pertaining to Accessory Dwelling Units and a workshop aimed at land use officials regarding the New Hampshire Municipal Technical Assistance Program.

Fundraising events included two flower sales – one in the spring and a second in the fall. The board hopes to expand its fundraising efforts in fiscal 2017-2018.

Prior board experience is helpful

but not required. The board provides educational materials and an orientation session for all new members. In addition, once on board, members are invited to attend a number of informative housing and economic development related conferences and workshops held throughout the year.

For more information about the Coalition, visit www.elrhc.org or check out Facebook.com/ELRHC. Interested candidates should send a brief letter of interest with contact information via email to Program Director Larissa Mulkern, at lmulkern@elrhc.org, or call 603-522-7150.

Ossipee Historical Society Program At the Your Where-To-Go, What-To-Do Guide Historic Courthouse Square in Ossipee Corner Whatever did we do during the long winter evenings before cable, Internet, satellite and our ‘smart phones’? To find out all about old-time entertainment, plan to attend “Wit and Wisdom: Humor in 19th Century New England” on September 19 at 7 pm with Jo Radner. The program will be presented by the Ossipee Historical Society (OHS) and will take place in historic Courthouse at Courthouse the Square in Ossipee.

In the decades before and after the Civil War, our rural ancestors gathered, reading aloud homegrown, handwritten literary “newspapers” full of keen verbal wit. Sometimes sentimental, but

Region the Lakes formostly very funny, these “newspapers”

were common in villages across Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont and revealed the hopes, fears, humor and surprisingly daring behavior of our forebears.

Jo Radner shares excerpts from these “newspapers” and provides examples from villages in our region.

Ms. Radner is from the NH Humanities To Go Program and will offer a very entertaining presentation.

Plan to attend the short meeting, find out what OHS is doing and have refreshments following the program. For more information, call Lois at 603-539-1984.

Yester year New Hampshire Education – in a One-Room Schoolhouse

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper As children head back to school and open new schoolbooks, they probably aren’t thinking about their ancestors having done the same thing many, many years ago. Getting an education in New Hampshire wasn’t as convenient or comfortable as it is today. Many children walked miles to school, braving rain and snow. School buses were unheard of and if there was a family horse or mule, it was likely working in the fields and not available to transport young ones to school.

In the 1830s, Ashland, New Hampshire, like many New England towns, was a remote area. The town was very lucky to have as a resident Miss Nancy Perkins, who saw the need for a school in the area. Miss Perkins rolled up her sleeves and started a private high school in the Vestry of the town’s Baptist church.

The school was in session from 1836 to 1847, according to Ashland, New Hampshire Centennial 1868 to 1968.

She was said to be a wonderful teacher and parents and students alike sang her praises. Indeed, she must have been a good teacher with a love for passing on knowledge because she eventually married Oren Cheney and together, they helped found Bates College.

Schooling was certainly different from what we experience today.

In the 1880s in Ashland, grammar school students were required to take an exam written by the school board each term. Pupils had to answer 60 percent of the test questions correctly in order to advance to the next grade.

Old schoolhouses – usually consisting of just one room — were a part of the American landscape for decades.

Ask any older person and it’s a good bet they once attended a one-room schoolhouse. These charming little buildings were every town’s answer to

education and local children from age 5 to 15 or more all sat in one room, taught by a single adult woman or man.

Conditions in many village schools were par with the rest of society’s housing at the time: a woodstove warmed the space and students were often expected to split and carry wood to feed the heat source; a bucket of water served as refreshment and another was for washing hands.

Outside, usually hidden behind bushes, sat the outhouse.

The Lakes Region had many oneroom schoolhouses and a few remain today and have found use as museums and historical societies.

A very unusual school was in session at Canterbury Shaker Village in Canterbury in the 1800s and into the 1900s. The Shaker religious sect welcomed and cared for many orphaned or foster children over the years and they were given excellent educations at the Shaker school.

The one room, one-story school was erected in 1823. As the population of Canterbury Shaker Village expanded, with it came more children and in 1863 the school was expanded to become a two-story structure. Area children were allowed to attend the school as well as Shaker children.

In Sandwich, NH, the Lower Corner School was a place of learning in the mid and late 1800s. Most towns were remote and many families lived in even deeper rural areas. Small schools were built to serve children in various rural locations.

The Lower Corner School began in 1825 as the John Quincy Adams School, according to www.sandwichhistorical. org, the website of the Sandwich Historical Society. At that time, citizens in Sandwich voted a tax of $193.70 to build a schoolhouse. A former student, Henry Holmes, wrote of attending the school in the 1840s. He recalled the school was small with a plank door, tiny windows that were placed high and underpinnings of stone. A big fireplace heated the building. Four-foot wood fed the fire that kept teacher and students warm during the cold winters.

Fireplaces are notorious for providing uneven heat and this one, as the former student recalled, provided heat that “burned the face while the back was freezing.” Students who sat at the back of the room took turns moving to the front to get warm during the day.

In the 1880s the school was renamed the Lower Corner School. By the 1930s an addition brought indoor toilet and storage facilities to the school and a

September 4, 2017 • Yesteryear Continued from page 32 playground. In 1944 the school closed and the students traveled to the Center School in the town.

Children in the Cook settlement in Moultonborough had a schoolhouse near a spring. The school building was modest in size; one child who attended the school was said to be the envy of all the other students because he could coast down from his home to the schoolhouse door in snowy winter weather, according to Moultonborough to the 20th Century, a publication of the Moultonborough Historical Society Bicentennial Issue 1963. As the years progressed, school children had quite a walk to get to school – down a steep hill, through fields and over stonewalls and fences. Even with the arduous walk each day, some students were said to have good or perfect attendance.

The Village School in Moultonborough was the site of learning for many years. During the early part of the 1900s the school was located opposite the Moultonboro Town House and was a one-room school. By 1913 the town improved the school as the population grew. An assistant teacher was hired in the 1920s and the school was divided and two regular teachers were hired. A jacketed stove was secured for the school and a note in town reports for 1923 stated, “The new stove makes it possible to have the rooms comfortable as far as the heat is concerned.”

In 1925 a new school had been built and housed elementary school aged children. In her book, I Remember

Page 33 Moultonboro New Hampshire by Frances A. Stevens, she recalled being a student at the school in the late 1920s.

“As I remember, when this school was first built there was a big stove with a jacket around it in the back corner of the room. In the winter when it was real cold she would have us gather around the stove for our classes. It wasn’t long before they put in a furnace with steam radiators.”

On the other side of Lake Winnipesaukee, schooling was important in New Durham. The town’s original land grand specified that a portion of the community’s money be set aside for a schoolhouse. In 1779 the town raised money to hire a town school and for some years after, money was voted for schooling. At this time there were no school houses in the town and school masters were hired who traveled from town to town boarding with different families. These men would teach the children of the area the basics: reading, writing and spelling.

By the 1800s schools were built in New Durham. In the late 1800s, improvements were made with the installation of blackboards, iron stoves and desks. In 1906, the annual report of the school board stated that “We cannot expect a woman to teach in a town paying $6.50 to $7.50 for 24 weeks in a year when she can obtain $8.00 to $9.00 per week for 34 to 36 weeks in the year. She will most certainly choose the latter.”

According to The History of New Durham, New Hampshire by Ellen Cloutman Jennings, the original 14 New Durham schools had shrunk

35

$

to just seven with a school budget of about $1,000. Teacher’s salaries, supplies and repairs came out of this budget and the board closed schools when necessary if enrollment dropped drastically.

Further north in the Plymouth, NH area, the village of Dorchester had a small schoolhouse that was built in 1808 and originally called the North District School. It was used as a oneroom school for area children until 1926. The school’s last teacher was Lena Bosence Walker.

According to www.livingplaces. com, “…the 1808 Schoolhouse, a single story clapboarded structure, its gable front capped by a small gableroofed cupola and set above a rock wall foundation.”

At excellent preserved one room schoolhouse is part of the Wolfeboro Historical Society on South Main Street. The Society owns The Clark House Museum Complex of structures at the site, including the Pleasant Valley

School.

The one room school was built about 1805 on land in South Wolfeboro in the area known as Pleasant Valley according to information at www. wolfeborohistoricalsociety.org. Known for some time as District #3 School, some residents called it the Townsend School, because it was close to the home of Reverend Isaac Townsend, Wolfeboro’s first minister. (Perhaps the reverend visited the school and taught religious classes to the children.)

The school was crude by today’s standards, as were most in New England. Local children learned to make due. All grades were taught in the one room. The enrollment of students ranged from 20 to 50. In 1959 the schoolhouse was moved to its present location at the Clark Museum Complex. (To tour the schoolhouse museum during seasonal hours, call the Wolfeboro Historical Society at 569-4997.)

The Lakes and Mountains Have a Hike for You

By Barbara Neville Wilson Photo Courtesy Andrew Drummond Nothing soothes one’s soul more than mountain air, warm sun and nature showing splendor through all the White Mountains. No matter your age, your time constraints or state of fitness, New Hampshire has hikes for you as summer turns to fall and the foliage begins to paint the trees.

Go online or to your favorite book store and you’ll find a plethora of websites and books to help you plan a walk. You can savor the White Mountains for a scant few minutes or for a longer trek. No matter your chosen path, you’ll find rewards: drop-dead views, raw nature, animals in their element, and the simple pleasure of being outdoors in the fall.

A recent non-scientific Facebook study reveals that families, seniors, romantics and teachers treasure hikes in the White Mountain

NH. She and her young daughter enjoy it all summer long and into the fall. “We love this hike. Do it, 2-3 times a month in the warm weather months. We usually do a treasure hunt. I make it up: find a heart-shaped leaf, spot a bird, etc.,” she says. It takes about an hour to get to the rocky top. From Black Cap, she says, you can connect to Peaked and Cranmore, or take the lift at Cranmore Mountain (ski area) and walk across to Black Cap. For a truly breathtaking view, Stephany Cameron of Moultonboro, NH, recommends Foss Mountain, just a ¼ mile walk off the road in Eaton. It offers 360-degree views of the White Mountains after a barelybreathe-hard walk.

Kara Jacobs of Wolfeboro, NH, recommends Boulder Loop, a 3 ¼ mile hike that has plenty of opportunity for on-the-path learning about tree species and geographic features. Every family is different, but Kara’s sons were doing this trail when they were just 4 or 5. Daniel Doan and Ruth Doan MacDougall caution in their 50 Hikes in the White Mountains, however, that “It should be considered more of a hike than a picnic jaunt.” At the top, expect to see splendid views of Mount Chocorua, Mount Passaconaway, and the Passaconaway Valley.

class hiking there one year as a field trip,” she says. Just over five miles, it’s a good half-day journey where hikers traverse across rocks and by caves at the summits of Mount Morgan and Mount Percival. The views of Squam Lake (the site where much of On Golden Pond was filmed) are gorgeous.

Parents be warned: starting children hiking when they are young can lead to romance and careers! Kathleen Masse of Vermont’s Sky Run Properties and her husband Rob are prime samples. As Kathleen tells it, they had planned to hike Falling Waters, across to Little Haystack, onto the Franconia Ridge Trail to Mount Lincoln, then to Mount Lafayette and back down Bridle Path, usually a six- to seven-hour hike. “We left later than we should have,” she says. “I was sitting on a rock on top of the last peak, Lafayette, eating an apple when Rob walked over to me and casually said, ‘So, you want to get married?’ ” He said it so nonchalantly that she scolded him, “Don’t joke about that.” It turns out he wasn’t joking. He was just so nervous he forgot to pull out the ring that had been burning a hole in his pocket all the way up the path.

They have been happily married for years now and live and work in the mountains.

Kathleen says, “Growing up in the Lakes Region and White Mountains has definitely influenced my life in a good way. I’ve always been passionate about outdoor activities…and yes, I wanted to run a business that allowed me to be located in the mountains…It is a dream to run a business that is in ski/hiking country.”

Another solid day hike (allow at least 4.5 hours) is Mount Osceola, outside of Waterville Valley. With a 2000+’ vertical rise, it offers views of Sandwich Mountain and the old ski range of Mount Tecumseh.

Stephanie Cameron offers the “Awesome views on top of

Page 35 Osceola!” as her reason for choosing it as a favorite and 50 Hikes…backs her, saying that at the top, “You are now standing on the highest of the mountains encircling Waterville Valley, and the panorama off this isolated summit is vast.” It offers glimpses of Mounts Hancock and Carrigain, Washington, Garfield, Lafayette, Lincoln, Liberty, Flume and Moosilauke.

Extreme hikerAndrew Drummond of “Ski the Whites” counts Mount Carrigain as his favorite, noting that sunset views from its summit are spectacular. Kara Jacobs says, “One of my absolute favorites is the Signal Ridge Trail” to the top.

Be sure to take your trail map and description along with you, and keep sharp eyes out to find and follow the path. Spring run-off or recent rain can require bushwhacking to avoid high water, and heavy storms in recent years have caused erosion that calls for trail detours. These inconveniences are soon forgotten at the summit where the observation tower yields opportunity for marvelous photography.”

Seasoned hikers Laura Maroon and Brent Summers both recommend the curiously-named Six Husbands for other serious hikers. The 29th edition of the White Mountain Guide introduces it, describing “This steep, rough, challenging trail…” and explains, “At 1.0 miles, the trail ascends a steep ledge on a pair of ladders, then climbs under an overhanging ledge on a second pair, with a tricky sloping ledge at the top of the ladder that might be tricky if wet or icy…”

Later “the trail passes over a talus slope that is usually covered well into July by a great drift of snow…” and steep terrain before reaching the top of Mount Jefferson.

No matter the length or suggested difficulty of the trail, or the perceived fitness level of the participants, hikers should prepare themselves for the worst possibilities. Always check the weather forecast for the area you’re entering; dress for the weather, and plan the length of your trip with provisions and

Tips to Protect College Students Against Fraud As teenagers head back to high school or start college, they may be looking for ways to earn extra money quickly.

Gone are the days when teenagers need to secure traditional part-time jobs in order to raise funds. Now, they have options like browsing social media sites for quick and easy one-time jobs to earn cash when they need it. But with these new online opportunities come online threats.

“As fraud continues to evolve, criminals target those who are most vulnerable. They also target the channels that appeal to younger individuals,” said NBT Bank Director of Information Security Terra CarnrikeGranata. “This type of fraud utilizes social media, social engineering, job opportunities and mobile deposits. It often targets students, young adults, newly-enlisted military or single

parents.”

The most common fraud scams targeting Millennials and Gen Z right now include: 1. College Website Career/Job Postings – Colleges’ internal job sites are not immune to hacking or fraudulent posts. It’s important to know that a

legitimate job post will never require you to have a bank account, ask for your banking information or request a transfer of funds.

2. Secret Shopper – After the target applies for a position to be a mystery shopper, they receive a check to deposit and then are instructed to withdraw cash to wire the money, so that they can “evaluate” the customer service.

But the check is counterfeit and the victim has just given away his or her own money.

3. Online Sales Scam – When selling an item via an online auction site, the purchaser will mail a check for more than the final sales amount, then tell the seller to deposit the full amount and wire them the difference.

Again, the check is counterfeit and the victim has just given away his or her own money.

4. Card Cracking – Young adults are recruited via social media to facilitate

fraud against a bank with the promise of a “kick back.” The perpetrator deposits a counterfeit check, and then tells the teen to report their debit card as lost or stolen in order to have funds falsely reimbursed. This is illegal.

That’s why NBT Bank and the American Bankers Association share the following tips for teenagers and young adults to be able to spot social media phishing and other scams: 1. Do not respond to solicitations for “easy money.”

2. Do not share login information, credentials, pin numbers or other personal/financial information with anyone.

3. Be wary of “friend” or “message” requests from individuals you do not know or do not have any mutual friends, This is a common avenue for fraudsters to conduct the scams listed above.

4. Use privacy settings on social media and do not communicate with individuals you don’t know.

5. Report suspicious posts linked with scams. There is usually a dropdown menu near the post on social media sites to allow for easy reporting.

This advice shouldn’t be limited to online posts, however. Teens and young adults should be careful with debit cards, bank account and other personal information in all settings at all times.

LRGHealthcare Offers Prevent T2 Diabetes Program Many people are at risk for or have prediabetes and don’t even know it.

Prediabetes means your blood sugar is higher than normal, but not yet considered diabetic. Diabetes is a serious disease that can cause heart attack, stroke, and numerous other complications. Type 2 diabetes can be delayed or prevented in people with prediabetes through effective lifestyle changes. How do you know if you are at risk for or have prediabetes? Visit www.doihaveprediabetes.org and take a short quiz to determine your risk.

Talking with your healthcare team is also a great way to find out if you are at risk or have prediabetes.

LRGHealthcare in the Lakes Region is starting a new session of a program called “Prevent T2 Diabetes” in September.

Interlakes Summer Theatre producer, Nancy Barry, said she has been waiting for the title to be available and was delighted when The Musical Company came back with a contract after the success with other Andrew Lloyd Webber titles Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and Cats in 2017.
