October is a Busy Month at Gafney Library From music and movement to a teen/adult writing workshop to an informational meeting, there is a lot happening at the Gafney Library in Sanbornville in October.

The Gafney Library is presenting an author workshop led by Layne Case on Tuesday, October 18 at 5:30 pm in the Conference Room of the Wakefield Town Hall, located next to the library.

This workshop is geared to grades 7 to 12 and adults and will include information on how and why become an author, how to write and publish books, and what to know before you begin.

Layne Case is a New Hampshire author and poet and owner of AMITY Publications. She has written a series of “Charlie” books for children, which feature Charlie the dog, who shows that our differences positively influence our lives and should be celebrated. She has, also, published a poetry book Inspirations from My Family and Friends. In addition, she offers writing classes, teaching what it takes to become an author, and has developed a literacy program called Read Up! Write On! Literacy Rules!

Her company, AMITY Publications, offers publishing services and many of her students are now published authors.

If you would like to find out more about what it takes to become a published author, register for the workshop by dropping by the Gafney Library on High Street or call the library at 603-522-9735. There is a $10 registration fee per participant that will include a copy of one of Layne’s books. The library hours are 1 to 7 pm on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday,

and 9 am to 12:30 pm on Friday and Saturday.

Music and Movement with Mr. Steve offers a rompin,’ stompin’ singalong on Friday, October 21 at 10:15 am. The program, led by Steve Blunt, is geared to little ones, birth to age 5, and their caregivers, and will take place at the Wakefield Opera House, next to the library, free of charge.

Steve will perform award-winning children’s music that warms the heart, tickles the funny bone, and delights the imagination with lots of movement and audience participation. Music is a fun way for young children to play with language and limber up for literacy.

This program develops physical, cognitive and social skills with a variety of age-appropriate musical activities: simple songs, fingerplay, sign language, gross motor movement, hands-on percussion, circle songs, and more.

Singer/songwriter Steve Blunt works as a music specialist at Rivier University’s Landry Early Childhood Center and Title 1 Preschool in Nashua, New Hampshire and is committed to making music part of a healthy, happy childhood. School Library Journal writes, “…Blunt never wavers from his kids-eye view of the world.”

Plan to come to this fun event featuring fall themes and a few, silly, spooky songs for the Halloween season.

A Courthouse Auction

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper It was a very large building when completed in 1916. In Ossipee, New Hampshire, the Carroll County Courthouse was part of a busy community. The train brought all sorts of people, from businessmen to tourists bound for the White Mountains, to the town. Of course, a courthouse was necessary and it housed offices for many busy people, from clerks to judges (there was even a jail cell for the unruly who were awaiting trial). The new courthouse replaced the original circa 1839 structure and must have seemed an impressive building, with its large white columned entrance and brick exterior.

Over the years, the courthouse served the community and the county well. The first trial to hit the judge’s courtroom was an infamous one: that of Frederick Small. The trial was big news, because it was a mystery how Small, known to be abusive to his wife, Florence, could have murdered her and burned down their Ossipee home when he was in Boston on a business trip. He was found guilty and hanged for the crime and the Carroll County Courthouse was known as the place where Small’s fate was sealed.

The Courthouse saw many legal proceedings, both large and small, and served the county well until it was determined a larger building with more parking was needed. The Courthouse was in the modest downtown area where parking was not abundant and a new location was found for a roomier Courthouse with more parking.

But what to do with the old Courthouse in downtown Ossipee?

The county deeded the building to the Ossipee Historical Society with the stipulation that it would be used on a continuing basis. Indeed, with the Historical Society at the helm, the building has been used for meetings and programs in the historic courtroom.

It also is used to display and house artifacts and other items.

The building is in good condition, thanks to the repairs made by the Historical Society over time. But it costs money to keep a building in good

The Old Carroll County Superior Courthouse. (Courtesy photo) condition, and to that end the Society will be holding an auction fundraiser on October 23 at the courthouse.

The auction is spearheaded by Historical Society member Shirley Ganem (who came up with the idea for the event.) When the Historical Society accepted the deed, they agreed to keep the building in good condition and they have done so. But to be prepared for future repairs that will crop up, funds needed to be raised and set aside.

Shirley has been working with the Society 2006 to raise $50,000; the amount raised thus far is $32,000.

Shirley’s wish is that if she spearheaded the effort to raise the money, the courtroom in the historic courthouse will be named for her husband, the late Philip J. Ganem, a well-respected attorney who worked in Carroll County for 50 years. He was also the hard working clerk of the court and knew the Courthouse well.

The upcoming auction will feature many wonderful donated items, from antiques and collectibles to gift certificates. Ossipee auctioneer Gary Wallace (Gary Wallace Auctions), will oversee the event.

Says Shirley, “Gary really believes in preserving the old courthouse and we know he will do a great job as

The auction will take place in the old courtroom, adding a unique setting for the fundraiser. Auction attendee seating will be on the benches of the courthouse, as well as in the original chairs and even in the jury box!

What could be better than sitting in the historic courtroom as you bid on items that will help keep the building in top-notch condition and also honor the memory of dedicated local attorney, Philip Ganem?

Items that will be up for auction include some “nice antique furniture,”

according to Shirley, “including a Cannon Ball bed.” Other donated items of note include a wonderful cast-iron toy carriage with a horse, a Birdcage Windsor chair, a Peter Ferber print, pottery, pewter pitchers, paintings and many more antiques and collectibles.

Adds Marion Rines of the Ossipee Historical Society, who is helping Shirley coordinate the event, “There are also great gift certificates, such as a boat ride for four people on Lake Wentworth and another that offers a boat ride for four to six people on Lake Winnipesaukee. There also is a week’s rental at a cottage on Lake Wentworth.”

Items are still coming in and those who wish to donate things for the auction should call Shirley at 569-3525 or Marion at 539-2431 for pick up or a time to drop off items.

A viewing of items will take place at 2 pm on October 23 and the bidding begins at 3 pm. A snack and drink concession will be offered during the auction. (Items can also be viewed at www.wallaceauctions.com.)

The special courthouse auction will offer a chance to bid on great items, and to step inside the historic building that stands as a testament to the history of the legal system in Carroll County.

Many years have passed since the building was completed in 1916 – 100 years to be exact – but the old Carroll County Superior Court House, now owned and cared for by the Ossipee Historical Society, lives on.

Ed Gerhard, Guitarist and Grammy Award Winner, to perform at Wakefield Opera House From Tokyo to Rome and venues across the United States, guitarist and Grammy award winner Ed Gerhard’s music has touched audiences all over the world. Ed brings his talents to a performance at the Wakefield Opera House in Sanbornville on October 22 at 7 pm.

Performing on six-string, 12-string, slide guitar or Acoustic Hawaiian Lap Slide, Gerhard captivates audiences with virtuosity, generosity and sly humor. Known for his gorgeous tone and compositional depth, Gerhard can move a listener with a single note.

Scott Alalrik of the Boston Globe said it best when he wrote, “Gerhard does not write instrumentals. He writes songs only a guitar can sing.”

Gerhard’s relationship with the guitar began at age 10, when he happened upon classical guitar master Andrés Segovia on television. “I’d heard all the pop music on the radio and maybe a little of that 60’s folk stuff, but this was the first time I’d ever heard the guitar all by itself and the sound just instantly got me,” he remembers.

Ed finally got his first guitar at age 14. His initial interest in classical guitar changed dramatically when he heard the music of bluesman Mississippi John Hurt. He quit lessons after the third one. After this, he took some informal lessons with friends and learned by ear, slowing down LPs to half-speed to pick out the tricky parts. At age 15, Ed was already beginning to perform in local church basement coffeehouses, playing solo and jamming with friends.

In 1977, Ed moved to New Hampshire, where he has resided ever since. Joining a thriving folk and acoustic music scene proved invaluable for the young guitarist. “There seemed to be no limitation on places to play back then, or more importantly, what you could play,” says Ed. When Gerhard was not performing solo, he could often be seen sitting in with other musicians. “I loved to play, it didn’t matter if I was solo or sideman.”

During this period Ed began composing and arranging music for solo guitar, using a staggering array of

alternative guitar tunings.

Based truly on the quality of his work, Ed built his considerable reputation, beginning with his debut album Night Birds in 1987. It garnered a spot in the Boston Globe Critics Poll Top 10 Albums of the Year. Shortly after the album’s release, Windham Hill Records included Ed on its Guitar Sampler (Vol.1). One of the highlights of the 300,000 unit selling Sampler, “The Handing Down” introduced the world to the beauty of Ed Gerhard’s music. “That one piece made me a lot of friends around the world,” Ed says.

Ed has released his eighth CD, Sunnyland, in homage to his early blues heroes. He was awarded a GRAMMY® for his inclusion on the

Warner Brothers, MelBay and Hal Leonard have all released Ed Gerhard’s music in books. His guitar work can be heard on recordings by Arlo Guthrie, Jorma Kaukonen and in the Ken Burns film Mark Twain and The National Parks: America’s Best Idea.

Ed’s CD Luna is featured in Acoustic

Guitar Magazine’s 20th anniversary list of the 240 Essential Albums. “This soulful album of original compositions, rich in melody, chordal complexity and stylistic variety proves why Gerhard is considered to have the most exquisite acoustic guitar tone on the planet.”

-Acoustic Guitar Magazine Along with players like Ben Harper and David Lindley, Gerhard’s unique approach to the Weissenborn (an acoustic Hawaiian lap slide guitar) is playing a significant role in reinvigorating interest in this somewhat esoteric, but beautiful instrument. Ed’s style of Weissenborn playing is unique in that he composes and arranges music for solo Weissenborn with beautiful melodies, complex chords and moving basslines, unusual for an instrument that normally serves an accompaniment role. Ed is featured in the book Lap Steel Guitar alongside legendary players like Greg Leisz, David Lindley, Jerry Byrd and more.

In a true collaboration of guitarist and guitar maker, Breedlove Guitars released the “Ed Gerhard Signature Model” guitar. The guitar became one of Breedlove’s best-selling guitars and won the “Player’s Choice Award” by Acoustic Guitar Magazine. Breedlove has just released a Gerhard Weissenborn copy in collaboration with Gerhard.

Here they have combined traditional design with innovative features and contemporary wood combinations.

Tickets are $20 at door or in advance from Ed Morrison at 603-522-0126, Angie Nichols, Wakefield Tax Office, Sharper Image Salon & Woodman’s Barber Shop in East Wakefield or Lovell Market in Sanbornville.

October Art Exhibit at Gafney Library Artists Anne Vaughan and Ruth Bleau share exhibit space at the Gafney Library in Sanbornville in October.

The walls jump with colorful, large works with various themes.

Anne Vaughan explains how she became an artist, “Before my 2010 retirement, I worked as an attorney for legal services programs representing clients in need of services and supports. I also served as a docent for the Philadelphia Museum of Art, designing and giving tours to visitors throughout the museum for 10 years.

This too was a highly rewarding volunteer occupation. I have had a life-long love of art and art history and painting, and now in retirement I have the chance to indulge this love in my own works. My art work varies in subject and treatment, from landscapes to still-lifes to abstracts and family portraits and works with a political theme influenced by my work as an advocate for disadvantaged people, as well as reflecting on current world events.

“Victory Rising: A Woman’s Success and tribute to all striving women” and “Sugar Cane Worker” are two of her works that bear tribute to the political theme. Others reflect her love of nature

Ruth Bleau will be the featured artist, along with fellow artist Anne Vaughan, for the October exhibit at the Gafney Library in Sanbornville.

Pictured are two of her paintings and Sugar cane worker by Anne Vaughan. (Courtesy photo)

and family: “My Jenny,” “Tulips in Glass,” “Camden Hills” and “Red Roofs in Snow.”

Anne is a member of the Berwick Art Association, Kittery Art Association, The Seacoast Moderns, York Art Association and Blackbird Studio and Gallery. She has displayed at Ben Franklin, Second Landing, Poppy Seed, Sarah Orne Jewett House, University

of Southern Maine, and in libraries in Rochester, Dover, Somersworth, North Berwick, York and Durham.

Ruth Bleau states up front and center, “Painting is my freedom, my joy, my soul. Before my life as an artist I was a letter carrier. It became a job that ate my soul. I retired early and began to paint. That was 12 years ago. I made the right decision. When I paint I am

alive. I paint in many different styles.

The paintings at the Gafney are unlike anything I have done before. One of them, ‘I Hear Music,’ simply poured out onto the canvas. This turned into a series that is essentially about repetitive lines and shapes. Most of the series is on display at the Gafney.”

Bleau further explains, “My life was changed forever the first time I used a paint brush. When I paint I am free. The brush flies, there are no thoughts, simply reaction. The subject, the brush, the paint, the surface are all that concern me. I paint very quickly and intensely for two or three hours and then begin to react to the painting.

I may study it for several days. I adjust the color, contrast, intensities and patterns until the painting feels right.

The process is like a meditation. I feel like an athlete in the ‘zone.’ ” Ruth has taken art courses at several schools, including The Massachusetts College of Art, Montserrat College of Art and The Peabody Essex Museum.

The exhibit is on display at the Gafney during open hours of Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday 1 to 7 pm and Friday and Saturday 9 am to 12:30 pm.

Huggins Drive Thru provides Flu Shots through your car window Roll down your windows and roll up your sleeves. Huggins Hospital in Wolfeboro is offering a new and convenient way for adults to receive their flu shots this year – for free. On October 25 from 10 am to 2 pm and on October 27 from 2 to 6 pm, Huggins Hospital staff will be available outside the main entrance of the hospital to administer the flu shot to any adult who drives up to the Drive Thru Flu Shot Clinic.

“A flu shot is your first line of defense against what can be a serious, even life-threatening, disease,” said Kim Daley, vice president of Physician Services at Huggins Hospital. “With this program we’re hoping to draw attention to the need for a flu shot, removing all potential barriers that would prevent someone from receiving it. This commitment resulted in our

idea to offer it for free in a unique and convenient manner.”

Flu shots for adults at this free Drive Thru Flu Shot Clinic feature the Quadrivalent vaccine to help minimize the impact of contagious strains of the

flu virus. The Quadrivalent vaccination provides those who receive it with the most widespread coverage available. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) indicate that flu vaccines cause antibodies to develop

about two weeks after the vaccine is administered. The antibodies offer protection against the viruses in the vaccine. Each year, the vaccine is designed to protect people against the viruses predicted to be the most common for that season.

Adult flu shots are also available inside all Huggins Hospital Primary Care locations throughout flu season by appointment. Pediatric flu shots will not be available at the Drive Thru event. Pediatric flu shot appointments can be made by calling Wolfeboro Pediatrics at 603-569-7620.

Visit www.hugginsevents.org for information about the Drive Thru Flu Shot Clinic on Tuesday, October 25 and Thursday, October 27. Enter the Drive Thru by using Christian Ridge Road next to the hospital’s main entrance.

Those entering floats are encouraged to decorate their entry in keeping with

the theme and may enter in the Youth, Organizational or Commercial Division of the parade. Floats are judged on creativity, craftsmanship, theme and overall appearance with trophies being awarded for first, second, and third place in each division. A “Best of Parade” trophy is also awarded.

The Parade will begin at 3 pm on Wakefield Street by the triangle at the entrance to the Richard Creteau Technology Center and travel south on Wakefield Street, turning onto Union Street and then south on North Main Street and disbanding by the Rochester Commons.
