Story and Photos by Kathi Caldwell-Hopper I wonder what Florence M. and Edward P. Clark would think if they could see their business today. What started in 1928 as an Eskimo sled dog attraction has become a major attraction spanning nine acres and encompassing a trained bear act, many fun rides and a Main Street of museums and shops and places to eat, as well as a train ride that is a must-do for thousands of people every summer.

And I wonder what the couple would think if they saw their grandchildren, Maureen Clark and Murray A. Clark (son and daughter of W. Murray Clark) in the ring with the family’s beloved trained bears. Florence and Edward would probably be amazed that what they started long ago has seen such growth and is now in its 88th season.

It would likely warm their hearts to know Clark’s Trading Post is as much a staple of family vacations as it was all those years ago.

Although my kids are grown and out on their own now, we spent many a summer’s day at Clarks and I hold dear my memory of the first time my son, Dan, and I visited when he was about three or four years of age.

The Laker’s editor had assigned me to do a story about Clark’s Trading Post, and I thought I would take Dan along with me. I well remember our first ride on the White Mt. Scenic Railroad and my son’s delight when the Wolfman made his appearance as the train ambled by; the character that is part of the train ride experience stood at the edge of the woods and shook his fist at the passengers and followed us in his crazy old car. Dan l o v e d

every minute of our day at Clark’s as did my daughter, Megan.

When Megan, now an adult, was visiting on a recent weekend in July, we w e r e blessed with very hot, s u n n y w e a t h e r.

It seemed the perfect time to return to one of her favorite childhood spots.

We arrived at Clark’s Trading Post (located at 110 Daniel Webster Highway in Lincoln) in late morning on a Saturday. The parking lot was bustling and we saw right away that Clark’s muchanticipated new water ride, the Anaconda Escape, had opened and was thrilling visitors of all ages.

Luckily for us, the next scheduled train

ride was just 15 minutes away, so we grabbed seats on the beautiful, open air White Mountain Central Railroad.

Soon the train was underway with a narrated, 25-minute, 2 1/2 mile ride via the wood-burning, steam-powered, Climax locomotive.

We traveled through a 1904 covered bridge across the scenic Pemigewasset River and into Wolfman’s territory and it wasn’t long before the Wolfman, dressed in his furry, ragged clothing, made his first appearance. The fun character stands beside the tracks and shakes his fist, warning travelers that they are trespassing. He shoots off a toy gun into the air and jumps in his jalopy to chase the train, but it’s all in fun and older kids love this icon of Clarks.

According to www.clarkstradingpost. com, “One of the favorite parts of the train ride for many passengers is coming face to face with the Wolfman.

Wolfman has been chasing our train for decades, trying to scare people away from his Unobtanium mine. He never tires of using his many tricks to keep you off his land. Passengers get their chance to poke fun at the Wolfman by yelling, ‘SCRAM YOU OLD GOAT!’

• Day Tripping Continued from page 3 This makes him very angry and he will chase the train all the way back to the covered bridge. Don’t worry, Wolfman will not try to cross the bridge because he is too afraid of heights. He will not cross underneath the bridge because he is more afraid of water! In fact, Wolfman is so afraid of water that he hasn’t taken a bath...in years! You will be returned safely to the beautiful Victorian train station where you can continue your day.”

I am not ashamed to say my kids and I took the train ride more than once if we were visiting Clark’s Trading Post for an entire day. Riding the open-air train never loses its appeal…and who wouldn’t want to get a glimpse of that crazy Wolfman?

When you enter the property, you can’t miss the new ride at Clark’s and my daughter decided our next stop would be a ride on the Anaconda Escape. The new ride is a concept by Andrew Clark (of the Clark family) and according to Nola Grant, office manager at Clarks, the ride is 300 feet long.

Megan loved the new ride, which starts 40 ft. in the air, and is completed in about 30 seconds. You can ride the Anaconda Escape wearing your street clothes—swim wear is not required for the ride, which invites you to hang on tight as the water coaster ride sends you through twists and turns, in a fully enclosed, dark tube.

After the Anaconda Escape ride, we were in time for the next scheduled circus act with the amazing Yandong

The Anaconda Escape Chinese Acrobatic Troupe. This award-winning ensemble amazes and delights audiences with their astonishing acrobatic performances.

Their specialties are mind-bending contortions, a lively lion dance, and high-flying hoop diving, just to name a few.

We got good seats on the upper level

of the covered show area and watched as the troupe entertained with all sorts of acts from unicycle tricks to twirling a fire-blazing sword to amazing acrobatic feats. Our favorite had to be the incredible “feet balancing” and juggling skill of one of the troupe as she laid on her back and balanced and juggled a large ceramic urn…and then

a big table…on her slender feet!

Soon it was time for the bear show, and as always, this beloved part of Clarks did not disappoint.

Lest one think the bears are trained “performers” that could not be farther from the truth. The bears are treated as beloved members of the Clark family and are incredibly well cared for – year round, not just during the summer when they take center stage.

As the bear show got underway, Murray A. Clark was first in the ring to give the audience a bit of information on the bears and how the Trading Post began. He told us that in 1928 Ed Clark’s Eskimo Sled Dogs was started as a roadside attraction. By 1930 it was decided to add a bear act with trained North American black bears.

“The bears love to perform,” said Murray. There are seven bears in the act, although they do not all perform in each show. Every bear gets a chance, and they take to the ring with ease when accompanied by Murray and his sister, Maureen. (An interesting side note is that in the wild, the life span of black bears is just four to six years, while the bears at Clark’s live over 20 years. Their oldest bear, Old Fella, lived to an amazing 38 years and was beloved by all the family and staff.)

Clearly the bears are treated well and get plenty of ice cream and other treats.

Training is done in a gentle, positivereinforcement manner with love and caring.

First in the show ring was Echo, a 12-year-old, fully grown black bear.

Bel Airs Coming to Wolfeboro Community Bandstand After a successful debut at the Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand summer concert series last year, the Bel Airs will be returning to the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee this summer.

The Bel Airs will perform in the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand on Sat., July 25 at 7 pm, the final concert in the month of July.

The group came together to keep the sound of doo-wop alive and have been criss-crossing New England ever since to bring that sound to listeners wherever they go.

The group has performed all across

the New England area, including Hampton Beach, Portsmouth, Topsfield, Mass., Nashua and more.

During the time of beehive hairdos, poodle skirts, cars with giant tail fins, 45-rpm records and shiny metal diners, America was introduced to a new kind of music. Dubbed “city music,” as it emanated from New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Detroit and Chicago, the sound originated as rhythm and blues, which was a mix of several different musical styles.

The music began to be sung a cappella by vocal groups on the street

powers firsthand.)

It was indeed a hot day when we visited, so we took the Blaster Boats for a cool chance to get a bit wet.

Megan also tried the Segways in the Segway Park and Safari and we had fun watching youngsters scaling the Climbing Tower.

As the afternoon wore on, we had seen and done a lot at Clark’s, although we could have stayed even longer to explore other areas of Clark’s Trading Post, such as the Americana Museum, 1884 Fire Station, Clark History Museum, Florence Murray Museum, Avery’s Garage, the Maple Cabin and Liberty Press to name but a few of the things to do and see.

As we headed back to the car, I thought again about founders Florence and Edward Clark, and wondered what they would think of the many expansions and additions to their original roadside attraction.

I heard the laughter of delighted children as they soared down the Anaconda Escape and I remembered the wonder on little faces (and those of adults too) when the bear show began.

All of the things offered today by Clark’s build on Florence and Edward’s original idea to bring entertainment to those on a family vacation.

I think the founders of Clark’s would be most pleased if they could see how far the family business has come and the wonderful memories it creates for families year after year.

(For information about Clark’s Trading Post, visit www. clarkstradingpost.com or call 7458913.)

Echo delights audiences with her tricks, such as raising the American flag, checking the mailbox for mail – the “Tax Bill” always seems to be in the mailbox(!), and recycling her drinking bottle into the trash can. At 302 pounds, Echo also plays basketball and hockey, and dances.

Also performing was Tula, a fiveyear-old, 258 lb. bear who just finished her official training, which requires about 1,000 hours in front of audiences to fully train.

Tula entertains with balancing on a large drum, dancing and riding a scooter, all while attended to by Murray A. and Maureen, clearly Tula’s loyal trainers/friends.

By the time the show ended, we were thirsty (count on July temperatures in New Hampshire to soar), so we headed to one of the eatery/snack bar locations on the Main Street area of Clark’s. We got refreshing sodas and sat at a shaded picnic area to relax, refresh and figure out where to go next on our Clark adventures.

Megan recalled visiting Merlin’s Mystical Mansion at Clark’s in the past and wanted to revisit one of her favorite parts of the park. The legend goes that the mansion is built upon a unique gravity point at the Trading Post grounds. Merlin’s Mystical Mansion will turn your whole world upside down, but it’s all in jest and fun and not to be missed! (And a unique chance to meet Merlin’s Apprentice, take a tour of the mansion and witness magical

corners. With no musical instruments to accompany them, the bands began making the sounds of the instruments with their voices. Basses sang the rhythmic “doo wop,” the tenors nailed the falsetto highs and kept the tempo with their fingers snapping.

The Bel Airs sing the original doowop sound for audiences of all ages, performing Del Vikings’ “Come Go with Me,” the Satins’ “In the Still of the Night” and the Rays’ “Silhouettes.”

These standards are well known by many audience members of a certain age, while younger listeners are drawn to the sound after the success of recent Broadway and television shows and remakes.

The Bel Airs will be performing as

the third concert of the season in the Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand summer concert series. The series runs every Saturday night in July and August at the bandstand in Cate Park in downtown Wolfeboro.

These concerts are performed free of charge throughout the summer, though a pass-the-hat collection is accepted to help support the free concert series.

The Bel Airs concert starts at 7 pm and runs until 9 pm. If bad weather is threatening, the concert will be cancelled and a sign will be posted at the entrance to Cate Park near the town docks. A notice will also be posted online at www.wolfeborobandstand. org.

Berry Picking is a Real Treat!

By Sarah Wright

that people take their berry picking very all the picking. Of course, I had to watch seriously. them to make sure they didn’t eat a whole When we pulled into the lot, I noticed pint themselves! a couple of goats in a pen. We It’s still early stopped to pet them and help them get their dry grass snack.

The farm also has chickens.

We went into the shop and got our

New Hampshire is full of wonderful farms with an abundance of things to pick. Apples, cherries, strawberries, peaches, pumpkins, blueberries, and raspberries can all be found in the Lakes Region. One of the things I love about summer is all the sweet, ripe fruit. The best way to enjoy it is picked fresh at a local farm.

Berries are especially delicious, and of course good for you. They’re yummy plain, but there are so many other ways to enjoy them. I love strawberries in shortcake or cheesecake, blueberries in pancakes, and raspberries with vanilla ice cream or just by the handful. When I decided to take my kids berry picking, the obvious choice was raspberries. That’s the berry we can all agree on, so we went to Butternut Farm in Farmington, eager to fill a few pints.

Butternut Farm is a popular spot, and as soon as I got there I knew why.

The farm is beautiful and all the crops are well tended. Even my four-year-old commented on how nice it looked. It was going to be a hot day, so we arrived early. The farm opens at 8 am and it’s a great way to spend the morning by being surrounded by such greenery. We cardboard pints i n the season, so while there got there around 9 am, and the parking and I gave each of my boys a weren’t tons of raspberries to choose lot was already quite full. It’s obvious carton. They gladly volunteered to do from, you could find some really good

ones hiding under the leaves. I showed my kids what to look for, and told them that it wasn’t ripe enough if it didn’t pull off easily from the stem. After we filled our pints, we decided to pick a few blueberries just for fun.

We paid for our berries in the shop, and I picked up some homemade oatmeal raisin cookies as well as some berry jam that was delicious on toast later that day. They also sell fresh cinnamon sugar donuts, but these were sold out by the time we arrived. No surprise there!

Butternut Farm uses sustainable farming practices to better care for the local environment and is looking to add more green technology in the future.

The Burnap family started planting fruit 10 years ago, and is looking forward to many more years of providing fresh fruit to their customers.

Strawberry season is closing, but

• Berry Picking Continued on page 9

July 20, 2015

Page 9

• Berry Picking Continued from page 8 raspberries and blueberries have just begun. There’s plenty of time for picking. There are many varieties of raspberries, with different kinds available at different points in the picking season. The blueberries are thriving and more and more bushes have been planted to keep up with demand. The farm also has four different kinds of cherries ripe right now (both sweet and sour), and peaches should be arriving in late July. We saw many customers picking cherries and the fruit looked amazing.

Not many farms are willing to invest in cherry planting because of issues with birds, but Butternut Farm has found a way to protect the delicate fruit. They installed bird netting over the trees to keep hungry birds away and it’s made

the cherry crop very successful.

Butternut Farm also has over 750 peach trees with numerous varieties, too many to list! They even have those donut-shaped Saturn ones. Nectarines and plums are also planted among the peach trees, so why not pick a peck of each?

The farm is located at 195 Meaderboro Road in Farmington. I made a right onto Meetinghouse Road from Route 11, and there were signs along the route to direct me. The farm is open Tuesday through Sunday from 8 am til 4 pm.

Please note that Butternut Farm may change picking conditions by the hour, so all customers are encouraged to call the farm at 335-4705 before arriving for the latest picking updates. For pricing information, or further details on specific varieties, visit them online at www.butternutfarm.net.

When I’m driving around the lake,

I often see signs for pick-your-own berries, and there are local favorites, I’m sure. In a rural area, word-ofmouth goes a long way. When I was researching berry-picking farms, I found out that some of them have closed recently, with farm owners deciding to retire from the business. But berry picking will never go out of style, and I found a couple of other locations that have been thriving for years.

Surowiec Farm in Sanbornton and Smith Farm Stand in Gilford are both great picking spots for excellent fruit.

Surowiec Farm is on Perley Hill Road, and is open seven days at week from 9:00 a.m. until 5:30 pm. The farm offers pick-your-own blueberries from mid-July through the end of August, at the start of apple season. The blueberry bushes are irrigated, high bush cultivars, which produce large, tasty berries and are convenient for picking.

Bring your camera to take photos of the beautiful views while you’re there. For the latest updates on picking conditions, call 286-4069. Containers are provided.

Smith Farm Stand on Smith Farm Road in Gilford is open from 9 am until 1 pm on Monday through Friday, closing later on Saturdays and Sundays at 3 pm. Raspberries are currently ripe for picking with blueberries not far behind! For the latest picking conditions, call 524-7673. Please bring your own containers. Smith Farm also makes and sells its own maple syrup.

I left Butternut with three beautiful pints of raspberries. I’m thinking of putting them on pancakes and then maybe in a pie. Or should I make jam? So many delicious possibilities!

Take advantage of the summer season today, and support your local farms by picking some berries.

Lake Discovery Camp - A Great Experience for Your Kids It’s not too late to sign kids or grandkids up for the New Hampshire Boat Museum’s Lake Discovery Camp.

The day camp offers a fun-filled week of hands-on, active adventures related to boating and our lakes, rivers, and streams.

Jaime Laurent, a recently retired employee of Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro, will lead this year’s camp.

Jaime has planned a great line up of fun crafts, games, and experiments. She has 26 years of teaching and student leadership experience; at Brewster she was the Dean of Campus Affairs.

Prior to her work at Brewster she was the K-4 Principal and director of Special Services in a New Jersey school. Having grown up on Lake Winnipesaukee, Jaime is passionate about the Lakes Region and its care and protection for future generations.

Highlights for the week include special off-site visits for each session.

Younger students will ride Molly the Trolley and visit Back Bay with the Back Bay Skippers to learn how to sail model sailboats. Older students will

ride Molly the Trolley to the Wolfeboro town docks where they will journey out on the Lake Winnipesaukee Watershed Association’s floating classroom to conduct water experiments. On Friday, kids will ride the New Hampshire Boat Museum’s Millie B followed by a tour with the captain of the docked Winni Belle and lunch onboard.

The cost to attend is $15 per day for members’ children or grandchildren and $18 per day for not-yet-members’ children and grandchildren. To help keep activities age-specific, camp days are divided as follows: Session 1: Children entering lower elementary grades K-2, July 20-21 from 9 to 11:30 am.

Session 2: Children entering upper elementary grades 3-6, July 22-24 from 9 am to noon with Fri., July 24 being a longer field trip day.

To sign up, go to www.nhbm.org under the Programs and Events button or call the Museum at 569-4554. The New Hampshire Boat Museum is open to the public for the 2015 season and will remain open daily through

Both her live performance and her latest album Unbound have turned heads recently. A powerful presence on stage, Evans utilizes “a wide dynamic range with her voice, going from whispery to wailing to good effect,” while keeping her voice and guitar “superbly in sync” (The Patriot Ledger).

His long career has always involved a great deal of traveling and in 2001 he became host of Cruising A m e r i c a ’s Waterways, a documentary series produced for PBS. In this series he traveled by boat on waterways throughout the United States, playing music in and out of all the scenes and even doing The Concert at Sackets Harbor.

Leading off the show will be singer/songwriter Marina Evans.

Combining strong, sultry vocals with unusual melodies and insightful lyrics, Marina Evans’ sound is all her own. Evans’ drive, passion, and versatility are just as evident in her songs, which deftly navigate a range of genres, from folk to pop

was two more alb u m s Rockin’ Chair and Sailboat.

In 1987, inspired by the birth of his daughter, he recorded a children’s album, Little Hands: Songs for and About Children, which was selected by the National Library Association as a “notable children’s recording”. The album is a mix of American folk songs and original compositions. In addition to his singing-songwriting, Edwards has played the lead in the touring Broadway musical production of Pump Boys and Dinettes.

The 1990s found Edwards with his own label, his first solo album in five years, and an appearance in the Back to the Future Tour with Don McLean, Tom Rush, Jesse Colin Young, Steve Forbert and Al Stewart. He also scored the music for the 1996 film The Mouse, produced albums for Cheryl Wheeler, signed Lisa McCormack and Simon Townshend to his new label and released his own album Man in the Moon which featured several of his new

The Great Waters Music Festival welcomes Jonathan Edwards back to Wolfeboro when he appears at Anderson Hall on Sat., July 25. Marina Evans will lead off the evening starting at 7:30.

Born in Minnesota, Edwards is a musician and singer-songwriter who has dominated the folk scene for over four decades. His early music career started in high school with a $29 guitar. Ever since then he has played for audiences all over the country at a non-stop pace.

Following a brief time at Ohio University where he studied art, Edwards left school and moved to Boston. With Joe Dolce on lead guitar, they appeared under various names such as Sugar Creek, Finite Minds and Headstone Circus.

His first album, Jonathan Edwards, reached number four on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Sunshine, a replacement song on the album, quickly made its way to the top five on national charts and earned him a gold record. His second album Honky Tonk Stardust Cowboy released in 1972 was inspired by his life on a farm in western Massachusetts. Since then he has lived in a variety of places including Nova Scotia, New Hampshire, Virginia and lately Maine.

In the mid 1970s, his old friend Emmy Lou Harris invited him to sing backup on her album Elite Hotel that led to a contract for him with Warner Bros. Records. The result

Lovin’ the Water at Lake Week Story and Photo by Kathi Caldwell-Hopper Those who live and vacation in the Newfound Lake area are proud that the body of water is among the cleanest in the country. No organization is prouder of that fact than the Newfound Lake Region Association (NLRA) with offices in Bristol.

Historically, the NLRA was formed and registered in 1971. Its goal was and is to protect Newfound Lake and its watershed. The NLRA grew over the ensuing years and by 2006, a number of public workshops and educational programs offered much to the community.

The group always has its eye on land development and watershed assessment; to put it simply, they are there to protect the lake so many love.

They do so in a number of ways, one of which is the First Annual Lake Week, which runs through July 25. The event is just one more way the NLRA strives to get the word out about protecting the lake and the land around the water.

A wide array of lake-oriented

Every day is like a story you’ll remember forever!

Write your own tale of adventure with a day at Story Land! Scream aboard our unforgettable new coaster, Roar-O-Saurus. Meet real-life storybook characters.

Feel the exhilaration of our exciting rides. Take aim with a water cannon. Every moment is an unforgettable chapter in your book of fun family memories.

programs will be offered, such as Grey Rocks Work Day on July 22, from 9 am to 4 pm when participants get to help build nature trails.

On July 23, a Learn About Loons program takes place at Minot-Sleeper Library in Bristol from 6 to 7 pm.

The NLRA will have a presence at the Hebron Fair on the Hebron village green on July 25 from 9 am to 4 pm.

Stop by the NLRA booth during the fair to chat about how to help keep Newfound Lake pristine.

Newfound Lake has a lot to offer those who visit; it gets much of its water from the Fowler and Cockermouth Rivers and its watershed is heavily forested. Part of the work of the NLRA is to ensure that the land around Newfound stays in pristine condition, which in turn will keep that beautiful lake clean and clear.

One of the NLRA’s most entertaining and educational summertime offerings is the Newfound Eco-Tour program.

Participants get to help with hands-on water quality testing, as well as learning historical and ecological information, and having time to just soak in the sights and sounds of beautiful Newfound Lake. The NLRA’s informative tour guides will share facts and myths about

the lake, while passengers sit back and enjoy the views of such great spots at the Cliffs, and the islands and inlets of Newfound.

Along with a scenic pontoon boat ride, passengers will get the chance to use scientific instruments to measure Newfound’s clarity and temperatures.

Tours depart and return from Grey Rocks Conservation Area located off North Shore Rd. in Hebron. The tours continue through August at 10 am and 1 pm. Additional tour dates and times are available by appointment.

Reservations are required with a minimum of 48-hours notice. Tours are subject to cancellation due to weather and reservations are accepted on a first come/first serve basis. You may also reserve a charter for a special group; call for dates and times at 744-8689.

For those who love to hike and get away from it all in a beautiful setting, the NLRA’s Grey Rocks property is a must. Centrally located on the beautiful Cockermouth River delta and bracketed by the Hebron Marsh and Paradise Point conservation areas, Grey Rocks is the crown jewel of the NLRA. Since its donation to the NLRA by the McLane family in 2011, the concept for Grey Rocks has been a place for low-impact use by the public for foot travel and non-motorized boats.

The public can enjoy the Grey Rocks area by launching non-motorized, carry-in boats at the area’s ramp.

Canoeing or kayaking is perhaps the best way to fully appreciate the subtle wonders of Grey Rocks. Fishing is also allowed and walking to Grey Rocks Point is encouraged for the scenic beauty and wildlife viewing.

According to www.newfoundlake. org, this year the public (members and friends) will be asked for input on how to balance preservation of the sensitive natural area with ways for people to get closer to this special place. Ideas such as footpaths with informational signage, viewing platforms near the water’s edge and educational events on the cleared portion of the property will be considered, along with the larger question of a future home for the NLRA. The NLRA’s website says, “We hope that you will continue to enjoy the Grey Rocks property and will share

Beyond the Lake Week events, the NLRA is offering programs during the summer weeks ahead. On August 7, join NLRA and water quality expert, Bob Craycraft on a Themed Eco-Tour called Everything About Newfound’s Water.

While an undergraduate at UNH, Craycraft was employed by the New Hampshire Lakes Lay Monitoring Program, a statewide volunteer lake and stream-monitoring program, where he worked directly with people living near lakes around New Hampshire. Following two years as a Water Resources Program Assistant, Bob assumed his current position as Educational Program Coordinator, where he works with local residents on lakes and streams throughout New Hampshire.

Participants will join Bob on a Newfound Eco-Tour to learn all about Newfound’s water. Bob has led Newfound sampling and analysis for about 20 years, and he is a popular workshop leader known for his ability to relate to groups with humor. During the workshop, Bob and participants will measure water clarity, test for dissolved oxygen, see what a net can find, and locate a thermocline – all in a few short hours!

On Aug. 13, visitors can join NLRA Exotic Species expert Amy Smagula, to learn about plants and animals that

V

threaten the lake during a program titled Good Weed and Bad Weed. Amy specializes in species that are nonnative to New Hampshire water and that pose a threat to current species.

Plants include Invasive Milfoil, Fanwort, Hydrilla, and Water Chestnut.

Take a Newfound Eco-Tour with Amy and learn the difference between native and invasive species to help keep Newfound invasive free. Amy will teach about plants and animals that threaten our lakes and rivers.

(Some are so alike that only Amy or a DNA test can be sure!) Get first-hand knowledge from one of the best about what lives in the lake, and what should be kept out at all costs.

Before kids head back to school, they can wring out a bit more summer fun with Wow Camp from Aug. 24 to 28. The camp is offered for children in grades one through six. NLRA has partnered with Tapply Thompson Community Center in Bristol for the camp, and kids will have a memorable and fun week starting on Mon., August 24 when they hike on the Grey Rocks trails and take boat rides.

On Tues., August 25, campers will go to the AMC Cardigan Lodge in Alexandria for a day of activities with AMC’s naturalist. The day will include nature trail and indoor education and hiking.

August 26 (Wednesday) will offer a fun day at nearby Wellington State Park with a beautiful beach. Along with beach activities, campers will enjoy a boat trip to Cliff Island for a picnic.

On Thurs., August 27, it’s off to the

Newfound Audubon Center, Paradise Point for a day of hiking with an Audubon naturalist for canoe and kayak activities.

The week wraps up on Fri., August 28 with a hike at the Bristol Slim Baker

Area plus indoor and outdoor activities.

Libby Museum Offers July Kidventures and Lil’ Sprouts There are dozens of great children’s summer programs around the Lakes Region…but don’t pass up the handson, two-hour experiences for children at the Libby Museum at 755 North Main Street in Wolfeboro this summer.

KIDVENTURES is a new history and science based program for ages 7-13, offered at the museum this summer by teacher Sheryll Ross, from 10 am to noon every Thursday. If you missed the first program of the season where nine young scientists entered Victorian times to see old inventions and then created their own, don’t miss out on the next event! Class size is limited to 12 participants.

On July 23, spend a day as an Abenaki Indian. Help rebuild the museum’s Abenaki house, meet a costumed Abenaki woman who will tell stories, share a craft, cook some food and time travel with participants back to Wolfeboro in the 1700s.

On July 30, kids can go back to the beginnings of Wolfeboro and meet

the Royal Governor, John Wentworth.

Hear him tell stories about Colonial life in the 1700s and learn what he carries in his trunk, cook some food from his time, and make a small trunk.

LIL’ SPROUTS is an established and popular Tuesday and Wednesday program from 10 am to noon for ages 5-7.

The theme this summer is It’s the Little Things that Count. Taught by much loved teacher Susan Berry, this program is not to be missed! Kids should bring a snack and dress for messy fun.

On July 21-22, “Butterflies” will offer stories, creative activities, and more.

“Hummingbirds” takes place on July 28-29 and offers many hands-on activities.

To register or for more information, call 569-1035 or visit www.wolfeboronh.us and look for the Libby link where you can print a registration form. The Friends of the Libby Museum sponsor all programs.

A Chance to Own Great Art! The June and July Art at the Gafney Library’s raffle fundraiser will end on Sat., July 25 with featured programs and a closing reception.

The seventh annual Art at the Gafney features the work of 67 area artists, each exhibiting at least two pieces of art. One of the two pieces is for show or sale. The other is donated to the library as a raffle item. There are 77 donated pieces of original art.

Raffle tickets are $1 each or six for $5 and may be placed on donated items of choice at the Gafney Library during open hours.

She is currently working in stone alabaster and will demonstrate her work on Snowy Owl. At 1 pm, a local writer’s group, Poets in the Attic, will offer visual and literary presentations that showcase the natural connections among art, healing

and the spoken word.

Exhibit coordinator Peter Abate will move the donated pieces from the library to the Opera House on July 25 at noon, where they may be viewed and raffle tickets may still be purchased until the drawing begins at 5:30 pm during the closing reception.

The library will remain open until 5:30 pm so visitors can view the pieces remaining for viewing or for sale.

The closing reception will take place in the Wakefield Opera House from 3 to 6 pm with refreshments provided by the Friends of Wakefield Libraries. At the close of the reception, 77 pieces of original art will find new homes; don’t miss this opportunity to be included.

Lakes Region poet Charlotte Cox will read and sign her newly published first book, Currents in the Stream, at the Wolfeboro Public Library on Tues., July 28, at 7 pm.

Main Street, just south of downtown Wolfeboro.

Currents in the Stream, released last fall by North Star Press, has gathered high praise from New England’s poetry luminaries. Patricia Fargnoli, former Poet Laureate of New Hampshire, says: “Here among the wealth of these poems, you will find . . . childhood memories, family relationships, lyrical poems of nature, of marriage, of travels, of loss and, finally, of a woman alone in the world redefining her place in it.

These poems glow with clarity, close observation, and a sensitive perception of the world.”

Cox’s writing has won prizes in the Poetry Society’s National and Member

Contests and in the River Run Seacoast Poetry Contest. Her poems have been published in the Poets’ Guide to New Hampshire, The Poets’ Touchstone, Piscataqua Poems: A Seacoast Anthology, and The Widows’ Handbook (Kent State University Press, 2014).

Cox has also had articles published in Library Journal, Public Libraries, and Seacoast Living, and she has been a featured reader throughout the Lakes Region. She will be available to sign copies of her book after the reading.

Cynthia L. Scott, Director of the Wolfeboro Public Library, says: “We encourage the audience to participate in the open mic time after the reading, and we hope you’ll bring something of your own to share. There will be ample time to meet other creative people, so please join us on July 28 for this special event.”

shop takes place at The Little Church Theater on Route 113 in Holderness, where students will work with a variety of theater props and learn to be the director of their photographs.

At the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center on July 28, students will tour the animal nature trail where native animals reside: black bears, mountain lions, raptors, river otters, bobcats and more. They will learn how to take action shots and about several different photographic processes. The July 29 workshop will meet at the Squam Lake Association Headquarters for a canoe trip (bring a waterproof camera bag) to an island for a Squam Lake picnic and swim, taking pictures of the journey and the island.

For more information and to register for the Teen Outdoor Digital Photography Workshop, contact Hettie Haudenschield at hhaudenschield@ sau73.org or The Little Church Theater at 968-2250.

Intrepid Female Camp Founders

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper

Laura Matoon thought bloomers were perfectly acceptable outdoor attire for female summer campers. She believed women could survive in the wilderness just as well as men. She brought these and many other beliefs about equality and enjoying the outdoor world to the Lakes Region over 100 years ago.

Laura was well educated and rather advanced in thought for her time. She began a teaching career that focused on each student as an individual and she spent time teaching her students (in Massachusetts and New York) about the great outdoors and nature. She took her classes on nature field trips and by 1902 a group of students accompanied her for an entire summer spent camping in NH’s forests.

This was the starting point for Laura’s idea of a summer camp for girls. She saw how well her little group responded to living outdoors, doing rustic chores such as gathering campfire wood, cooking over an open fire, sleeping under the stars and exploring the natural world.

According to Kehonka History and Lore, (www.kehonka.wordpress.com/ history-and-lore), there were no camps for girls in 1900 and this may have been the first such summer camp experience for females.

In the outdoor setting, Laura also made use of the environment for supplies. According to Laura Matoon (information) at www.kehonka. wordpress.com, she also taught the girls to make furniture from wood found locally. (Laura’s rustic furniture style would be very popular today with the trend for Adirondack decor!)

She noted the girls responded positively to fashioning items from the world around them, such as pottery and weaving baskets from straw and grass.

In those days, females wore correct and modest garments. Laura and her small group must have raised eyebrows when they shopped for supplies in NH rural communities. (It is said that Laura wore manly clothing because it was sensible and comfortable for hiking and living in the woods.)

Word spread about the wonderful time the core group of girls had at their summer camp-out in the Wolfeboro, NH area. Others soon asked Laura to include them in the future summer camping trips. More room was needed and by about 1909 staff was hired to help. The site was called Camp Kehonka.

Meals were served family style and recreation consisted of plays and programs put together by the campers.

Girls, just as easily as boys, could swim, fish, make objects from the

natural world, pitch a tent and generally survive in the woods.

The camp had swimming, sailing, canoeing, and mountain climbing.

Also highly impressive was Kehonka’s dedication to offering diverse arts and crafts to its girls. At Kehonka, the artistically inclined were as welcome as sports-minded youngsters.

Not far from Camp Kehonka, another woman opened the door of a girl’s summer camp named Camp Wicosuta.

Located on the shores of Newfound Lake, Anna Rothman started the girl’s camp in 1920. Anna likely had a similar goal as Laura Mattoon, which was to provide girls with a vacation that taught them the joys of the outdoor world. She was aware that by getting girls out of urban areas and into the natural environment surrounded by good role models, they would learn many of the lessons needed to thrive and prosper in the world.

Anna named the camp Wicosuta, which is a Native American term meaning “strength of mind and body” according to www.campwicosuta. com. The first year over 30 campers were enrolled. Campers stayed at the Newfound Lake location from July to September.

In Lyman, located in northern NH, Abby Sutherland ran Camp Ogontz.

In the 1920s Abby took over the girls’

camp, which encompassed 300 plus acres of land by a small lake. Ogontz White Mountain Camp for Girls opened in 1923. The camp had open sided cabins, several log cabins and lodges, clay tennis courts, a dining facility with large kitchen, swim house, boathouse, and recreation hall.

According to Camp Ogontz – Brief History at www.campogontz.com/ histry, Abby was said to be a stickler for discipline: The camp was run according to strict rules. A typical Ogontz day would be filled with arts, music, and prayer as well as an assortment of recreational activities. Social events were scheduled for the evenings and ranged from poetry readings to talent shows to an occasional dance in the dining hall with one of the neighboring boy’s camps.

By the time of her death in 1961, Abby had turned a small summer camp into a thriving spot for girls to spend their summers.

In 1903, Mowglis Camp for Boys opened on Newfound Lake. Elizabeth Ford Holt, who purchased a farm on the shores of Newfound Lake, began Mowglis. She was camp director from 1903 - 1924 and is remembered as a woman who knew her own mind.

• Yesteryear Continued from page 26 While always dressing simply, she carried herself with regal bearing and commanded respect from the boys under her care each summer.

Early on, Elizabeth obtained permission from author Rudyard Kipling to borrow the names of his Jungle Books, and named various camp buildings Toomai, Baloo and Akela, among others. Over the years, Kipling corresponded with Mrs. Holt and maintained an active interest in Mowglis.

It seems the Newfound Lake area was a bit of a Mecca for summer camps started or run by pioneering women.

Mrs. Mabel Hollister started a camp on the lake in 1911 and named it Camp Onaway.

Mabel wanted to prime young ladies for a bright future – she wanted them to vote, to stand up for themselves and their beliefs and to become strong leaders, according to http://www. camponaway.org/index.php/about-us/ history. She ran the camp during the tumultuous years of World War I and the Great Depression.

Some early camps survived but others closed over the years. However, the memory of the brave and pioneering women who left comfortable city homes and careers to create summer camps in the NH wilderness lives on.

Turf Talk Brown Lawn Blues Summer can mean hard times for New England lawns. Hot weather combined with improper mowing can trigger a cascade of turf problems such as weeds, crabgrass, browning and harmful insects.

To immediately protect your lawn and reduce summer browning: Apply liquid compost tea to improve soil health Apply a slow release fertilizer with grub and/or tick protection • Mow high – at least 3"– and mulch your clippings to minimize browning • Don’t mow in the heat of the day • Keep your mower blades sharp • •

Spanning History – Lakes Region Covered Bridges

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper Once upon a time, covered bridges were everywhere in New Hampshire.

They served a vital purpose before super highways and steel bridges allowed people to travel over rivers and other bodies of water with ease.

Covered bridges were made with skill and care and often were the pride of their communities. They were sturdy, and although they did not have the strength and durability of steel bridges, they certainly had a charming appeal with hand-hewn beams and architectural styles that varied from enclosed structures to those with window openings.

Today, a number of covered bridges remain around New Hampshire. You won’t see them everywhere, but if you look on the secondary roads around the Lakes Region and beyond, you will spy one here and there. When you do, stop and take some photos and check out these structures that are a link to our New England heritage.

In Ashland, the Squam Bridge is just about the prettiest little wooden structure to be found anywhere. It spans the Squam River as it flows from Little Squam Lake. The bridge was built in 1990, and proves that communities in NH still value these little bridges enough to build a new one now and then.

The Squam Bridge replaced a steel bridge that was condemned by the state of NH. The state suggested a steel twolane bridge for the site but the citizens

a town meeting, the citizens voted to place $35,000 in a fund for building a new covered bridge. The Squam River Covered Bridge Committee of the Ashland Historical Society raised the remaining amount. Over 500 donors contributed, and bake sales and dinners also garnered funds. The bridge was constructed by Milton Graton and Sons (a family well known for the construction of quality covered bridges). The appealing style of the bridge replicates the look of traditional covered bridges.

According to www.nh.gov/nhdhr/ bridges, the Squam Bridge is about 61 feet in length and is posted for 10 tons and has a sidewalk on the Little Squam side.

Tannery Bridge in Gilford is a charming covered bridge that is not used for vehicular traffic. The Gilford Rotary gave the bridge to the town in the 1990s. The bridge has an interesting story – it was constructed expressly for the purpose of linking the town hall to the rest of Gilford village. Constructed

by Tim Andrews, the Tannery Bridge spans Gunstock Brook and is a lattice design and over 42 feet in length. (A covered bridge had once existed on the site near an original tannery, thus the name of the new bridge.) It is open to foot traffic and is a popular location for wedding photos.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Sulphite Bridge of Ashland decided a covered bridge

was more to their liking. In 1988, at

Known as a Pratt truss bridge, and built in the 1890s, the Sulphite Bridge has a truss over 180 feet in length. The bridge’s deck is made of timber and the rails rest on top of the trusses; the rail line has been abandoned and the bridge is maintained by the NH Dept. of Transportation.

The Boston and Maine Railroad built the bridge to replace an earlier bridge and it may be the only deckcovered railroad bridge remaining in the country. The name of the bridge comes from the sulfur once transported over the rail line for use in area paper mills. After rail service ceased in the 1970s, the sides of the bridge were boarded over and the ends closed up. It is not open to the public, but is worthy of mention as a unique NH historical structure.

The Smith Bridge was originally built to span the Baker River in Plymouth in the early 1800s. It is located on Smith Bridge Road off Tenney Mountain Highway. After much use, the bridge was replaced in the 1850s. The bridge was replaced and dedicated not many years ago and is now known at the strongest covered bridge in the world!

Shakespeare in Sandwich or at a smaller location, the works and words remain popular in our modern day.

In pastoral Sandwich, NH, one might not expect to find Shakespeare’s plays. However, his works thrive when performed by a wonderful theatrical group, Advice To The Players (ATTP).

The theatre has been around since 1999, when Caroline Nesbitt, a theatre professional and summer resident of the Sandwich area, started the small troupe as a way to do Shakespeare. She had many professional friends, as well as local acquaintances and gathering to

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper “Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounced it to you, trippingly on the tongue: but if you mouth it, as many of your players do, I had as lief the town crier spoke my lines.” ‑William Shakespeare’s Hamlet The speech from the timeless play Hamlet gives advice to a theatrical troupe and the words are as fitting today as when penned hundreds of years ago. Whether Shakespeare’s plays take place on a Broadway stage

The Merry Wives of Windsor company, Aug., 2014; Monika O’Clair Photography. perform was a way to work locally and it can be imagined, to also have fun.

ATTP produced Othello that first year and the next year, Much Ado About Nothing. The public enjoyed the plays and over the years, programs expanded to include an outdoor summer production at the Sandwich Fairgrounds Stage and a performance of A Christmas Carol at the Barnstormers Theatre in Tamworth.

Caroline also taught at the Community School in Sandwich, and she had an epiphany when she saw how the words of Shakespeare gave students an understanding of language.

Students also acted in the local theatre troupe, and Caroline cleverly mixed students, community members and professional actors together and that is still the model of ATTP to this day.

“The last seven or eight years, we have taken the show on the road,” Becca says. “We do student matinees at local high schools and evening performances at a variety of places, such as in Conway and at the Sandwich Town Hall.”

The town of Sandwich embraces ATTP and they are part of Sandwich Old Home Week and offer a fun Elizabethan Family Faire in Sandwich over the 4th of July weekend.

Becca is particularly excited that ATTP has found a permanent home at the former Surroundings Art Gallery space in downtown Sandwich. It will give the troupe an intimate performance space with a gallery, a piano and endless possibilities for art shows and concerts.

“We are having an exhibit of theatre posters until July 26,” Becca explains.

“Then we are featuring Line! An Actor Draws the Theatre with work by John Devaney starting July 30.”

The children’s camps offered by ATTP are very popular and offer something for all ages. “We have been

doing summer camp since 2002,” Becca explains. “It is a two-week, morning day camp for ages 5 to 15.”

The camp offers Shakesperience for ages 5 to 7 with an introduction to theatre through arts activities and free play. The camp combines active play with stories, poetry, music, games, movement and hands-on projects and takes place until July 24 from 9 am to noon.

Shakesperience for 8-12 year olds offers a chance for youngsters to experience theatre through the performance of Twelfth Night.

I Hate Hamlet by Paul Rudnick. The show is a comedy about a young TV star who rents a gothic New York City apartment, and deals with a psychic realtor, a blissfully idealistic girlfriend, a hot-shot LA producer, a chainsmoking agent and John Barrymore’s ghost! The show takes place July 24 and 25 at 7:30 pm and on July 26 at 2 pm.

Shakesperience on Stage is scheduled for July 24 at 10 am at the Sandwich Fairgrounds Stage. Students from summer camp (ages 8-12) will perform scenes from Twelfth Night.

Shakespeare’s popular Twelfth Night will take place on July 31 – August 9 at 2 pm at the Sandwich Fairgrounds and at the Town Hall Theatre on August 4 at 7:30 pm.

“Twelfth Night has a nice plot,” says Becca, “and a wonderful central character.“ Those who act in ATTP’s shows bring a lot of talent to the stage, from training in American Stage Fighting that makes for realistic fight scenes to the incredibly detailed costumes that bring the audience back to Shakespeare’s day.

And what about the perception that the language of Shakespeare is hard to understand when heard in the modern

day? Becca laughs as she says, “We do a lot of shows where audience members come up to me after the performance and tell me they are so glad we did the play with a modern translation. But we didn’t do that – we perform the plays in Shakespeare’s language!”

This clearly proves that the most respected of all playwrights created work that stands the test of time. When brought to modern day audiences with skill and creativity, Shakespeare is certainly as entertaining today as in the distant time in which it was written.

What does the future hold for the hard working, always creative ATTP? “We want to keep growing the educational side,” Becca shares. “And we want to use the 12 Main space wisely and make it available to the community.”

The theatre started by Caroline Nesbitt all those years ago continues to thrive in New Hampshire. For those who are skeptical that such a troupe can be a success doing Shakespeare, just stop by one of the performances and enter the enchanted, magical, entertaining world conjured up by Advice To The Players.

Lakes Region Curling Association Kicks off Fall League The Lakes Region Curling Association is actively recruiting participants for its Fall 2015 curling league at Pop Whalen Arena in Wolfeboro. The league will feature a 10-game schedule, plus a learn-to-curl session on October 16.

The kick-off follows a successful July 8 information session at Wolfeboro Public Library that saw some four dozen area residents view presentations on the basics of curling, curling equipment and the planned fall league.

With one or two exceptions, games in the LRCA’s fall schedule will take place on Sunday evenings from 5 to 7 pm, starting on Sun., October 18.

Participants can join as members of an established team — with four to

six members — or as individuals and couples looking to join other players in a new team. LRCA organizers will help with the creation of new teams.

The recruitment window ends on Fri., July 24.

Information about curling and the Lakes Region Curling Association, as well as access to downloadable registration forms, is available at www.lakescurlingnh.org. Visitors to the site can view informative videos, access information about curling rules and game play and find the latest information about LRCA events and activities.

The only equipment curling participants need is a pair of cleansoled sneakers. All other equipment will be provided.

Bayswater Hosts Used Book Sale If you are looking for a great deal on pre-loved books, mark your calendars!

Bayswater Books in Center Harbor will host their Second Annual Used Book Sale on July 24-26 from 9:30 am to 6 pm. The sale takes place on the shop’s porch and features over 2,000 used paperback and hardcover books.

Paperbacks and children’s books will be on sale for $1, while hard covers will be priced at $2 each.

A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Meredith Altrusa Literacy Fund, a local non-profit organization that provides books, reading services and financial assistance to libraries and

school reading programs throughout the Lakes Region.

“Bayswater’s Used Book Sale is about more than finding your next great book,” said Michelle Taft, owner of Bayswater. “It’s about improving literacy services and providing books to people across the county. We are pleased to partner with Altrusa of Meredith to help spread the love of reading.”

Don’t miss Bayswater’s Second Annual Used Book Sale July 24-26. For more information, call 253-8858 or visit www.bayswaterbooks.com.

New At the Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery The Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery in Center Sandwich will hold an opening reception on July 29 from 5 to 7 pm for artist Clare Mowbray’s exhibit, Under White Oak Pond. Mowbray lived and worked in Holderness and was a lover of nature and all the beauty that surrounded her on land and especially in the water. She described herself as a mermaid; she loved to be in and under the water and was a skilled photographer.

Clothes Call opens on August 1. Stop by the gallery to meet Sandwich artist, Ashley Bullard of North Sandwich and Moultonborough author, Art Neufeld at a gallery party from 5 to 7 pm on Aug. 1 for an evening all about clothing.

Art Neufeld will talk about his new book, The Invention of Clothing and autograph copies. Ashley Bullard’s new series of paintings titled Look to the Laundry will be on the walls.

(The gallery is asking for donations of lightly used clothes for donation to the Lakes Region Food Pantry and Thrift shop in Moultonboro.)

Ashley Bullard is a dynamic artist living and working in North Sandwich.

Painting is a passion for the mother of two. Bullard’s energy explodes on her canvases in a vibrant palette of greens, purples, oranges and pinks blended into an abstracted landscape that is just discernable. In this series the clothesline is the common thread.

The Invention of Clothing began when Neufeld came across a droll witticism by Mark Twain, “Naked people have little or no influence on society.” Neufeld wondered: Where would we be without clothes? The Invention of Clothing tells the story of the clothes we wear and how they came to be.

Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery is located at 69 Maple Street in Center Sandwich. Gallery hours are 10 am to 5 pm, Monday through Saturday and from noon to 5 pm on Sunday.

For more information visit www. patricialaddcarega.com or call 2847728.

Bag It Screening at the Tamworth Lyceum The compelling documentary Bag It will be shown at the Tamworth Lyceum on Thurs., July 23 at 8 pm. Cohosted by Green Mountain Conservation Group and the Tamworth Lyceum, the screening is free, open to the public and will be followed by a group discussion.

Bag It follows average American Jeb Berrier through a personal journey to discover everything he can about plas-

tic. Why do we use it so much? Where does it all go when we “throw it away”?

What kind of impact are plastics having on the health of humans, wildlife, and the environment? The answers and discoveries that Jeb makes throughout his journey are absolutely astonishing.

The Tamworth Lyceum is located at 85 Main Street, Tamworth. Call Green Mountain Conservation Group at 5391859 or like us on Facebook.

6th Project Greenway Design Contest The Little Church Theater in Holderness will host the 6th Annual Project Greenway on Thurs., July 23 at 7 pm.

The challenge given to this year’s designers is to use recycled and repurposed materials and create a design representing a local or national business, organization or charity whose spirit they admire. Judges look at the creativity of the design, use of color, texture of materials and construction of the design. Television personality and

award-winning author Rebecca Cole is expected back as this year’s celebrity judge.

“We are always mesmerized by the creative use of materials by the designers,” said organizer Austine Howard. “I can’t wait to see this year’s collection of inspirational designs.”

Tickets can be purchased in advance at www.littlechurchtheater.com or by calling 968-2250.

Addams Family at Interlakes Summer Theatre The Interlakes Summer Theatre in Meredith is offering The Addams Family through July 26 at the InterLakes Auditorium. Performances are Tuesdays-Saturdays at 7:30 pm, Sundays at 5 pm with matinees at 2 pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

The Addams Family is a charming family comedy created from the comic strip upon which the TV series was based. In the musical, the plot centers on the teenage daughter Wednesday, who has met the boy of her dreams. Of course, he is not the boy the family had hoped for, but they invite the future in-laws to

their home for dinner and comedy ensues.

The musical comedy features Inter-Lakes favorites, Mikey LoBalsalmo, Ashley Landroche Whalley, and Graham Campbell, as well as Hannah Zieser of the Boston Conservatory, Fred Frabotta of New York City, Sebastian Ryder of Vermont, Joel Flynn of the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music, Elise Watson of Missouri State and Greg Fischer of Manchester, NH. For tickets and information, call 1-888-245-6374 or visit www.interlakestheatre.com.
