Fourth of July Celebrations Around the Lakes Region By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper The Fourth of July is fun. Adults love it and so do kids. Whether you are celebrating the holiday from your Lakes Region boat, deck, cottage or year-round home, this is the place to be for fireworks, parades and concerts for good, old-fashioned fun! Celebrate the birth of our country at these fun events. Cruise aboard the M/S Mount Washington on the Fireworks Party Cruise and take in the magic of the lake on the night of the Fourth. Enjoy dinner and dancing while the boat cruises the lake, scouting for local fireworks shows. Live music will be played on the main deck by local favorite band, Club Soda. Flagship Lounge entertainment will feature Tom Paquette. Small boats light up the lake while waiting for the fireworks, and cast a beautiful glow on the water. The boat leaves from Weirs Beach at 7 pm on July 4, returning around 10 pm after fireworks. For more information, call 603-366-5531 or visit www.cruisenh.com.

Plant Seeds, Art Grows with the Governor Wentworth Arts Council By Barbara Neville Wilson Maybe it seems a little dry: The Governor Wentworth Arts Council (GWAC) was founded as an educational non-profit dedicated to enriching the lives of residents and visitors through art. But now, 50 years after its birth, GWAC’s impact on the towns of Brookfield, Effingham, Ossipee, Tuftonboro and Wolfeboro resounds. The local arts community is vibrant and growing. Did you know the town has about a dozen galleries, or one gallery for every 482 year-round residents? The region is a destination for music, performance, and the visual arts, and nearly three generations after GWAC’s formation, artists developed

in the region are shaping arts endeavors here and far away. Sometimes we think things just seem to happen. They are staples of our existence. We expect them every year, but we never really think about who’s behind them or how they got started. Many of the events we take for granted were actually seeded by the volunteers at GWAC. Take First Night Wolfeboro for example. For decades, Wolfeboro had a daylong celebration leading from one year to another (New Year’s Eve). Filled with performance art, music, food, a parade—long led by bigger-thanlife sized puppets, and two evening fireworks displays, it was an event that

Courtesy Emily Marsh locals often pointed to, proving that yes, Wolfeboro was tiny, but it could certainly compete with the big boys of Portsmouth and Boston when it came to fun for New Year’s Eve.

• GWAC Continued from page 6 stories, sold their wares, and ignited passion in the hearts of other artists, adult and young. Sculptor Liz Helfner was less cognizant of GWAC’s effects when she was growing up in New Durham. “It’s funny, as a kid and even as a teenager just before I left town, I didn’t realize the impact that GWAC had on my education and arts exposure. Although I went and enjoyed Artists in the Park and First Night for years, I felt I was operating in a bubble due to my love of sculpture…” she says. Like students throughout the Governor Wentworth Regional School District today, however, she benefited from GWAC grants given directly to the schools to bring in artists in residence, performances and workshops. Some, like the long-running history through dance series at Carpenter School, tie art directly into academic curriculum;

advantage when it came to marketing. Because of the welcoming attitude of Wolfeboro galleries, “I understood the social dynamic of galleries better.” She saw the difference between doing the art and “explaining the big picture of what your art is about…selling art to people.” GWAC also realizes that artists constantly need to develop their skills; thus, they offer scholarships to artists for continuing education. Emily mentions funds offered for an oil painting class, and Liz talks about receipt of a Priscilla Hodges scholarship last year. Unlike many other scholarship opportunities, GWAC does not limit funding to new high school graduates; another recent recipient of education money was 40+ year-old Corina Willette, an artist who works in watercolor, oils and mixed media. Time moves on, tastes change, and volunteer groups take on new endeavors. And so it is with Governor Wentworth Arts Council; while Emily and Liz enjoyed First Night and Artists in the Park, the next generations of artists are impacted by fresher GWAC initiatives. This summer, look forward to “Paint Wolfeboro,” an open-air painting event where artists set their easels throughout town and the public is invited to observe, interact and buy the art at end of the day; and the monthly Arts Festivals in the galleries, pop-up studios at stores and restaurants and free-range street performance from 5 to 7:30 pm the last Saturday of every month, May to September. The Festival is a direct descendant of the GWAChosted monthly Art Walks celebrated

others like introductions to pottery, help students experience new art forms; and still others bring art as entertainment to schoolwide assemblies. Not surprisingly, many members of GWAC are both artists and professional educators. Longtime residents will recognize the names of Nancy Piper, retired art teacher at elementary and secondary schools in the Governor Wentworth Regional School District; Kingswood Middle School teacher Robin Cornwell had a long involvement, as has her sister, potter and nature educator Sally Cornwell; Marcia Atkinson Christiansen is a retired arts educator at Berwick Academy. Education does not fall only to those trained as teachers, though. Emily points to GWAC member gallery owners as integral to her education. She entered the New Hampshire Institute of the Arts feeling at a par with her fellow students in terms of knowledge and art skill, but she says she was at a distinct

in many of the galleries of Wolfeboro. In 50 years, events have come and gone, but GWAC’s mission to educate and enrich continues, and its fruits grow, blossom and spread seeds of their own. Illustrator Emily Marsh makes her home in Brookfield. Her art is seen in business applications, like the newly unveiled graphic design package for The Children’s Center on Main Street and also around the world in books, game art, card art, and board game art. She points proudly to her recent illustrations for the “7th Sea” role-playing game. She has been a member of GWAC for several years and transitions into the position of vice president this year. See more of Emily’s art at www.emilymarshillustration. com. Liz Helfner, a BFA graduate from Alfred University, creates cast metal and mixed media sculpture from her studio in Cambridge, MA. Her Flowers Shall Grow in bronze and black walnut will be installed at the Palmyra Community Library in New York later this month. In addition to serving two years as GWAC’s vice president, she is an active leader in the National and International Conferences of Contemporary Cast Iron Art. Anxious not to lose sight of local “kids like me, who feel like no one else is doing what they’re doing,” she plans to serve on GWAC committees so young artists “will see GWAC as a great resource to support their efforts.” View more of Liz’ art at www.ElizabethHelfner.com.

Their music is well-known in the Lakes Region/White Mountain area, and they specialize in blending tight vocal arrangements with tasteful guitar accompaniment. The duo’s repertoire is varied and incorporates songs from several genres and time periods.

The duo’s primary influences include the Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, the Beatles, the Band, Neil Young, Van Morrison, Emmy Lou Harris, and Joni Mitchell, to name a

He has played guitar, keyboards, fiddle, bass, and pedal steel guitar in various bands in the Midwest and New England.

NH Fairs…Love Them or Hate Them The first agricultural fair in North America was held in what is now Londonderry in 1722, and it would become a wildly popular event for generations until it came to be so dominated by gambling, flim-flam, and other “scandalous dimensions” that the legislature revoked its charter in 1850. However, fairs have always had strong supporters and eventually the state came around to appropriating modest sums to help them succeed. Temperance groups and others would continue to attack the fairs on moral

grounds and their close connection to horse racing was a chronic flashpoint. On June 27 at 7:30 pm, Steve Taylor will discuss the ups and the downs of fairs through the years and how public affection for rural traditions helps them survive in contemporary times. The program will take place at the Holderness Historical Society and the public is welcome to attend. The Society is located at 1089 U.S. Rt. 3; call 603-968-7487. The program is sponsored by the New Hampshire Humanities Council.

Navy SEALs Coming to Newfound Lake for Second Annual “Swim With A Mission” After a very successful debut in 2017, Swim With A Mission (SWAM) is back with a festival to celebrate and honor our veterans on Saturday, July 14 at Wellington State Park on beautiful Newfound Lake in Bristol, NH. The day will feature open water swim races across the cleanest lake in New England, followed by a festival of food, music, children’s activities and live demonstrations by the Navy SEALs and their K-9 unit. Last year, hundreds of swimmers, kayakers and paddle boarders made their way across Newfound Lake and helped raise over $370,000 for veterans. Thousands of spectators came to watch a group of the elite Navy SEALs jump from a helicopter into the lake and then

demonstrate how to rescue a hostage. Greg of the WGIR Morning Buzz interviewed retired Master Chief and famous Navy SEAL Rick Kaiser, who also took questions from the crowd. The SEAL K-9 unit stole the show and hearts of everyone as they demonstrated why they are now vital members of the SEAL teams in combat. Swimmers can sign up to swim in the individual 1K, 5K or 10K distances, or put a team of up to five swimmers together to race in a relay format over a 10K course. SWAM is still looking for volunteers to help kayak, paddle board and help on the beach. There are more details and sign ups at www.swimwithamission. org.

The oldest Candy and Ice Cream maker in New Hampshire!

After the swim races, the public is invited to meet the Navy SEALs at 11 am, enjoy the activities, including the kids zone, food and drink provided by the Common Man, Sam Adams, Jack Daniels, Coca Cola, local Lakes Region vendors and more. The National Guard will be displaying a Blackhawk helicopter and Humvees. There will also be many veteran service organizations on hand to talk about their respective missions. The SEALs will again talk with the crowd, followed by a SEALs capabilities demonstration jumping from helicopters and a land demonstration, and finally the wellloved K-9 unit will show what they are capable of. “There are over 110,000 veterans in New Hampshire and we were really surprised at how many need help. We started this event as a way to honor our veterans and raise money to help the many service organizations that serve our veterans,” explained Phil Taub, who founded SWAM with his wife Julie.

“This is a great concept, not only to showcase the specialized training necessary to become part of our special operations forces, but also to raise money to help those who have made incredible sacrifices for our country. I think the participants who turn out for this event will be amazed at the skills on display by Navy SEALs,” stated Rick Kaiser, executive director of the Navy SEAL Museum and retired Navy SEAL Master Chief. Proceeds from the event will go to support the Navy SEALs Museum, Veterans Count, Children of the Fallen Patriots, The Dan Healy Foundation and the Harbor Homes Plymouth Project. If you don’t plan to swim or volunteer, bring the family; you are encouraged to come and see the SEALs, enjoy the music, food and family activities at what promises to be a very unique summer day of fun. For more information on the registration requirements, the swim route and how to support, please visit http://www.swimwithamission.org.

On August 16, The Decato-Sanborn Project will offer music with roots in multiple genres.

Family Day is Returning to the Wright Museum One of the Wright Museum of World War II’s most popular events will return when Family Day takes place on Sunday, July 8 on the museum’s grounds on Center Street in Wolfeboro. Families will have an opportunity to learn about and experience all that the Wright Museum has to offer from 11 am to 3 pm during the popular event. In addition to the more than 14,000 items in its collection from the battlefields and home front of World War II, the Wright Museum will feature added entertainment for the occasion. One of the Wright Museum’s unique features is its stock of World War II vehicles in which visitors can ride throughout town during the day. Visitors can also enjoy “Mo” the clown, a balloon artist, face painters, reenactors, animal shows, live music, and more. “It is a great day for family fun and for learning that history is alive and well at the Wright Museum,” said Donna Ha-

mill, administrative manager. “In terms of attendance, our annual Family Day is the most popular event. There are so many things to do for Family Day visitors.” The Squam Lake Natural Science Center will present two animal shows during the event. The New England Country Boys will be on stage to provide music, food will available for purchase, and there will be games for people of all ages. Due to the expected turnout, parking will be limited. There is off-site parking available at the Wolfeboro Munici-

Chillin’ While Grillin’ Breadless Burgers, Dogs and Chicken Sandwiches By Chef Kelly Ross The culinary world is constantly going through different trends and fads, as well as diets. Dieting over the years has always been something of a rollercoaster ride for many people. Every week there seems to be a new diet out there that people will jump on, and like most diets, it doesn’t last long. Some work in the short term, but not the long haul. One thing that all diets have in common is the person striving to lose weight must have a strong will power and focus. One diet that materialized in a big way about 10 years ago is the gluten free craze and it doesn’t appear to be going anywhere soon. There is a big difference between being allergic to gluten, which is called Celiac Disease, and someone who just wants to eliminate gluten from their diet. One is about not being sick and the other is about a lifestyle decision. The last statistics I read regarding the

two stated that there has been no drastic rise in people diagnosed with Celiac Disease over the years, but those who choose to go gluten free continues to rise steadily. The survey says that approximately 1.7 million people have Celiac Disease. while close to 3 million choose the diet without a medical need to do so. Part of what may be driving the gluten-free “trend” is marketing and the media. Some research says that going gluten free is healthier and yet others say it has no health benefits. However, if you think it’s making you feel better, that’s all that matters. Today, with grilling some of the staples like burgers, hot dogs, and chicken sandwiches during the summer months that rely on a bun of sorts, I’m going to tell you about a few creative options to use instead of the roll or bun. Some of these are basic and it’s quite possible you have tried or • Chillin’ While Grillin’ Continued on page 27

Page 27

June 25, 2018 • Chillin’ While Grillin’ Continued from page 26 thought about these, as in using a leaf of romaine lettuce as a hot dog roll. Others, I’m willing to bet you haven’t thought of, and I hope you are willing to try. Our mission today is to set you up with some ideas for breadless burgers, dogs, and sandwiches. Let’s start with some ideas for burgers and chicken sandwiches. Since a normal burger and a chicken breast are similar in size, this first one works well for both. Granted, one drawback to these bread substitutes is that they can be a little messier to eat than using a traditional burger roll, but hey, for those who want to go breadless, some sacrifices have to be made. On the upside, these options are healthier. Let’s start with using fresh pineapple slices. Here is what I have done with burgers and what you will need to make four burgers. 1 lb ground beef 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce Salt/pepper A fresh pineapple, skinned, and cut into ½ slices 4 slices red onion 4 slices of pepper jack cheese, or another preferred cheese 4 leaves of romaine lettuce 8 slices of cooked bacon As for the pineapple, there are three things to keep in mind. First, you must use fresh. Canned pineapple slices just won’t hold up as well as fresh and the diameter of canned is smaller than needed. Second, coring of the pineapple is optional. The core of a

pineapple is actually the healthiest but depending on how ripe the fruit is, the core is much tougher than the meat. Also, keeping the core intact will help the pineapple buns hold together. It is totally your option. Lastly, fresh is so much better. 1) For starters, combine the burger, Worcestershire, and salt/ pepper in a bowl and mix well. Form them into 4 patties. 2) On a medium-high heated grill, cook the burgers to your desired temperature. While the burgers are cooking, also grill the pineapple slices and red onion slices; 2-3 minutes on each side should be sufficient. Ideally, the pineapple should be pulled off the grill a few minutes before the burgers to let them cool a little. Since the pineapple is now your burger bun, you want it warm but not so hot that you can’t hold it. 3) Once the burgers are at the desired doneness, top them with the onions and cheese. While the cheese is melting, put the romaine leaves on 4 slices of pineapple, put the burger on the romaine, add your desired condiment, and the bacon and top with the final pineapple slice. As for a grilled chicken sandwich with a pineapple bun, the concept is obviously similar but I like to alter the ingredients somewhat. For starters, chicken and pineapple go together so great with teriyaki sauce. There is no reason why you can’t use teriyaki on the burger as well, but chicken, pineapple and teriyaki are one of the

best combinations of flavors in the culinary world. As a general rule, when I do a chicken teriyaki sandwich with bread, I sauce the chicken and pineapple. For this version, I would recommend not saucing the pineapple as it will make it messy to eat. I grill the pineapple as I did for the burger. The extras I like on this sandwich are lettuce, tomato, melted cheddar, and bacon. This is another great and tasty sandwich. The next two breadless burgers are done more as sliders, a miniature burger, usually 1-2 bites in size. Sliders can be fun to eat and are great as appetizers. I find that kids love sliders as much if not more than the adult crowd, although I think the kid crowd would much prefer a mini roll than the options coming up, but whatever works is the way I look at it. The bun in this next recipe is done with thick sliced tomatoes. You can use any size tomato, although using a

large beefsteak tomato will be closer to the size of a normal burger than a slider, but that is entirely up to you as what size you want to use. Vine ripe tomatoes will give you the size of the normal slider. Season the burger to your liking, grill them, top with your favorite cheese and place on lettuce which should sit on the bottom half of the tomato. Top with bacon pieces, onion or any other favorite topping, and condiment. Lastly, for a breadless slider, try using pickle slices. These will be smaller than the tomato bun sliders but a huge hit for the pickle lovers. Although you can cook these as a small basic burger, you may mix the burger as you would when making meatballs, although I wouldn’t recommend using this meatball recipe to put in your next • Chillin’ While Grillin’ Continued on page 28

• Chillin’ While Grillin’ Continued from page 27 Italian dinner. Due to their small size, they will hold together better. I also find that these sliders cook better in a hot pan with oil. Here is the shopping list. 1 lb ground beef 1/4 cup parmesan cheese 1 large/jumbo egg 1 Tbsp brown mustard 1 Tbsp ketchup 1/2 tsp granulated garlic or garlic powder Salt/Pepper Vegetable oil 4 slices of cheddar, cut into quarters A jar of pickle chips Lettuce/Tomato

1) As I said before, I prepare these as I would a meatball, with a twist. In a bowl, combine the ground beef, parmesan cheese, egg, mustard, ketchup, and seasonings and mix well. Form into meatballs, and when ready to fry in the pan, squish them into mini burgers. 2) In a skillet or frying pan, pour in just enough vegetable oil to barely line the bottom of the pan. Get it to a medium heat and add the meatball patties. Cook for about 3 minutes until a nice crust has formed. Flip carefully and cook for another 2 minutes or so, add the cheese and cover the pan for a minute until the cheese melts. 3) To assemble, on a platter lay out as many pickle slices as you

have sliders. Add some lettuce/ tomato to the pickle chips, then put a slider on top of the veggies, and top with the top pickle slice bun and enjoy. Last on the agenda is a breadless hot dog, again using a pickle as a bun. This breadless pickle dog has a fun twist, which makes it yummy if you are a fan of pickles. There are two variations, a simple one, and a yummier option that is fun. The shopping list is as follows. 3 oz cream cheese, room temperature 1/2 cup shredded cheddar 2 Tbsp chopped fresh chives Salt/Pepper 5 hot dogs 5 large pickles mustard and ketchup for drizzling These dogs are fun. If you don’t want all the bells and whistles, you can easily slice your pickle almost all the way through, similar to a hot dog roll and just pop in the dog and top with your favorite condiments. If you want to be creative and have a little fun, try this recipe.

1) In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, cheddar, chives, and salt and pepper and set aside. 2) Grill the hot dogs to your desired liking. 3) Like the basic recipe, slice the pickle down as low as possible without cutting in half. 4) Inside the pickle, spread the cream cheese mixture. Add a dog to each pickle and drizzle with the ketchup and mustard and dig in. This is a pretty cool hot dog. Now you have a few ideas for the usual grilling staples without using bread. I’m not going to lie, although I have cut back on bread consumption, I’m still a monster bread fan. However, I still enjoy any alternative to the norm; that has always been my favorite reason to cook throughout my life. I love to mix things up and always think outside the box. I hope these have intrigued you enough to give them a try. Until next time, happy eating! If you have any questions or feedback, please touch base at fenwaysox10@ gmail.com.

Yester year Having a Swell Time…Wish You Were Here! By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper Pine Rest Cottages…Chick-AGami…Anniversary Inn…Glen Gables Inn…Pearl’s Tourist Home, and the list goes on. At one time the Lakes Region was heavily populated with cottage colonies and motels. If you wanted to spend a relaxing few days or a week or more on or near an area lake, you could choose from many, many lodging establishments. In our present day, some of the names - and old postcard views of the cottages and motels - seem quaint and more than a bit outdated. But at a time when vacationing to the Lakes Region from another state meant a grueling trek by unreliable car or a long train ride, arriving at a place such as the WondaVu Lodge and Cabins would have been heaven on earth. When did cottage colonies become popular in the Lakes Region? The answer to that question is varied, but many places sprang up from the need to turn a few unused buildings or rooms into lodgings for paying guests during lean times, such as during the Great Depression. Other lodgings were the vision of businessmen and women who were not afraid to work hard and take a financial risk. Imagine a vacation spent in a charming little cottage with Lake Winnipesaukee nearby. Your meals, while on vacation, would be taken at a quaint tearoom. Whether you were a local person or a vacationer, the Wise Owl Tearoom was the place to go in West Alton. The entire area was a little community unto itself. While technically part of the town of Alton, the hamlet was far away from the downtown Alton area. The Wise Owl Tearoom was on

Vacation fun at Proctor’s in Weirs Beach in years past. (Photo courtesy Fred Clausen) Route 11, and it was a bustling business in the 1930s and 40s, offering a place to get something to eat. There also were cabins, which were rented to vacationers and travelers. In the 1930s, the Wise Owl Tea Room was built by a man named Mr. Cote. He created a place where local kids could get penny candy, and travelers could fill up their car at one of two gas pumps. Additionally, there was a store for snacks and groceries. Elsewhere in the Lakes Region, the Newfound Lake community was a special place for vacationers. In his book Newfound Lake, Charles E. Greenwood wrote that Hebron residents George S. Smith and his wife began taking in boarders in the late 1870s, following the example of John Sanborn, who owned the local Grove Hill Farm. These farms offered boarders riding, boating, fishing and swimming. In 1880, the first big summer boarding house was built in Bridgewater on

the eastern side of Newfound Lake. Originally called the Lake View House, the structure was three stories high, with a dining room, dance hall and 75 bedrooms all comfortably furnished. The Lake View House was reminiscent of the big hotels being constructed in the White Mountains at the time. An added feature was views of Newfound Lake. Soon other hotels sprang up in the area: Elm Lawn, Bayview House, and later, Pasquaney. Large farms continued to help meet the demand when owners opened rooms in their homes to lodgers, and just a few were Ackerman House, the Silas Brown

property known as Newfound Lake Farm, and the Norman Smith farm. The largest town in the area was Bristol, and it boasted the Hotel Bristol and the G. G. Brown Hotel in the mid-1800s. Cottages were also springing up around Newfound Lake in the 1880s. Up until this time, vacationers who did not want or perhaps could not afford, hotel accommodations, pitched tents on the beaches. At times, the shores were covered with tent colonies. Eventually, lake vacationers decided that a cottage was preferable to a tent, and purchased land to build summer homes. One area on the eastern side of Newfound Lake near Bridgewater became known as “Cottage City.” Owned mostly by professional and local businessmen, these summer homes were at the time the largest grouping of private cottages. Interestingly, one farm in the Whittemore Point (Bridgewater area) locale was bought by E. P. Lindsey of Boston. Refurbished from top to bottom, the farm soon had a cottage for the hired help and a modernized barn. Many renovations were made to the brick farmhouse. Lindsey may have been originally from the Newfound area, and it is known that as a young • Yesteryear Continued on page 32

• Yesteryear Continued from page 31 man he worked as a common laborer in Bristol. Eventually, he amassed a fortune, and when his wife died in the 1930s the estate was valued at over $1 million. The estate later became part of a boy’s camp. By the early part of the 20th century, housekeeping cottages sprang up in the area to meet the demand for cheap tourist housing. The cottages were rented to visitors for a week, or sometimes for an entire summer. W. F. Darling of Bristol built a large group of cottages in the 1920s. The colony was first known as Hiland Park with about 100 cottages. Guests could rent a cottage, cook their own meals, and best of all, sit on their porch and take in the wonderful views. Eventually this cottage colony would become known as Bungalow Village. About this time, at the foot of Newfound Lake, Walter Prince bought over 1,000 feet of shore property, on which he built a cottage colony. Prince saw further opportunities for income by building a store, restaurant and gas station. Everything the vacationer could want, from a dip in the lake, to dinner in a restaurant and gas for the family car was at Prince’s. Other cottage groupings followed, and by the 1930s, many who could afford a summer vacation made their way to Newfound Lake. During the 1930s and 40s, Newfound Lake was a thriving summer community with cottages and resorts. Woodbury’s, built in the 1930s on the western side of the lake, had many cottages, a store

and a recreation hall. Many who vacation or live in Wolfeboro have fond memories of the Allen “A” Resort, which was run by Allen H. Albee. The sprawling resort was located on Rt. 28 and hugged the shores of Lake Wentworth. If you spent your vacation at the Allen “A”, you could be assured of a great time; Mr. Albee made sure there was always something fun to do. The Allen “A” had many cabins where guests could stay for a week or longer, do their own cooking or eat at the resort’s dining hall. Other lodging facilities included the 1810 House near Rt. 28, with many rooms for guests to rent for a night’s stay or longer. According to The History of Wolfeboro, NH 1770-1994 by Q. David Bowers, the Allen “A” Resort opened in 1935 and was known in its early days as Allen “A” Camps. (Before Allen and his wife Lillian Albee bought the business, there was an eatery called Flo’s Restaurant on the site.) Mr. Albee certainly was visionary and offered a dining room that could serve meals to large numbers of people. A theatre on site saw “prominent entertainers” that drew large crowds. In July of 1938, it was advertised as “Wolfeboro’s New Night Spot” with a dining room featuring dancing and host Dick Miller. Some guests have memories of carved totem poles at Allen “A” that were crowned with eagles. A Quonset hut (now the site of the NH Boat Museum) created a large dance hall space for guests and was extremely popular.

the time, great dining and indoor and outdoor pools. The resort’s Mermaid Lounge overlooked the indoor, L-shaped pool. In Alton, there were many cottages and places for vacationers to stay. The Edge O’Lake Cottages advertised “newly built housekeeping cottages” in the 1950s and offered guests fireplaces in each cottage. Other features were “automatic heat, screened porch, kitchen, living room, two bedrooms, modern bath and gradual, sandy beach front.” The Bon Air at Clark’s Landing in Moultonboro offered travelers and vacationers 20 housekeeping cottages and also lodges on the shore of Lake Winnipesaukee. Activities included shuffleboard, ping pong, horseshoes, cookouts and boating and fishing. An old photo shows a Bon Air cottage, which looked a bit like a storybook cottage with shuttered windows and a fireplace chimney. A bit further north, vacationers could arrive by automobile with the whole family for a week’s stay at a cottage along the roadways leading to the White Mountains. One charming colony started years ago: the Gilcrest Cottages and Motel in Thornton, New Hampshire features charming little cottages that are named for area mountains and places. Built in the 1940s, the storybook cottages have rustic flair and are still in business today. Such cottage names as Flume, Liberty, Lafayette and Lincoln make the colony quite unique.

Elsewhere in Wolfeboro, the Brook and Bridle Inn attracted vacationers with “individual family lodges, riding, tennis courts” and much more. An old advertisement for the Hotel Prescott in Wolfeboro features an amazing photo of the lodging facility. The hotel was huge and a place anyone would love to stay, with “agreeable surroundings and gracious hospitality.” The hotel promised nearby summer and winter sports activities. In the Weirs Beach area, Proctor’s Lakehouse Cottages and Motel has been around for many years. John and Mary Proctor bought Pine Tree Lodge from Luddy Williams (a Ziegfield Follies girl) back in 1947 when the property had just three cottages and a main house in which they rented out rooms. They promptly renamed it Proctor’s Pine Tree Lodge. Back then, there was no beach; the beach was added when the Army Corps of Engineers dredged the Weirs Channel and ‘blew’ the sand along the shoreline. Over the next 20 years, the number of cottages grew from three to 12 and in the 1950s, when “motels” were in vogue, the garage was remodeled and became an eight-unit motel. The epitome of vacationing in the Lakes Region was the Shangri-La in Weirs Beach. Perched high atop a rise, the resort had it all: commanding views of the lake, the finest lodgings of

Circus Smirkus Coming to Wolfeboro This Summer Families can gather under the Big Top Tent for four “adventuresome” performances by Circus Smirkus this summer. Mark your summer calendar now for two performances of the circus, on Sunday, August 12 at 2 pm and 7 pm and at 1 pm and 6 pm on Monday, August 13. Circus Smirkus will be presented by All Saints Episcopal Church in Wolfeboro, NH. All performances will be at The Nick (nick.org) located at 10 Trotting Track Road in Wolfeboro, NH. This year’s fun-filled themed show, Vaudeville 2018, is a celebration of the grand American tradition of variety entertainment. Join Circus Smirkus for a spectacular line up of unforgettable acts, with amazing acrobats, mystifying magicians, jaunty jugglers, wondrous wire walkers, live music, brilliant costumes, and the many skills of its young circus artists on full display under the Big Top. Awe, delight, and side-splitting laughter awaits…get your tickets now for a dazzling tribute to the greatest form of family entertainment in history. This year’s Circus Smirkus Big Top Tour troupe hails internationally from Canada, and from 14 states – California, Colorado, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, and Washington. Circus Smirkus is a non-profit youth circus founded with the mission

of promoting the skills, culture and traditions of the traveling circus and inspiring youth to engage in life-changing adventures in the circus arts. The Vermont-based organization has raised more than $2.5 million over the past 30 years for non-profit partners. Its unique 24-meter, 750-seat, one-ring tent distinguishes Circus Smirkus as the only American youth circus to put on a full-season tour under its own European style “big top tent.” The ring engages the entire audience intimately – no one sits more than 25 feet from the ring – giving an up-close view of the young ensemble’s extraordinary aerial artists, contortionists, acrobats, jugglers and whimsical clowns at work. After 31 years, Circus Smirkus is certainly a “grown up”, but audiences know its youthful ensemble exhibits a timeless authenticity that is central to the nature of transformative art. In its past three decades, Circus Smirkus has received accolades from critics all over

the world. “When we first thought about bringing Circus Smirkus to Wolfeboro, our hope was not only to create a fundraising event, but we also wanted to offer the greater Lakes Region community an amazing and unique show for families to enjoy. Year after year children are inspired by what they see at Circus

Smirkus. The Circus is a great way to showcase that with dedication and hard work, you can accomplish anything!” said Don Holm, Senior Warden at All Saints Church. Tickets are available online at www. smirkus.org. or contact Circus Smirkus at 1-877-SMIRKUS toll-free (877-7647587). Kids under the age of 2 can attend for free provided they sit on an adult’s lap.

Music Comes to Wolfeboro Bandstand With July just around the corner, the Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand are excited to announce the new concert season. The bandstand concerts are free and take place each Saturday night throughout July and August in the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand, which is located on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee in Cate Park. After a few years away, the Windham Concert Band will begin the season with the first concert on Saturday, July 7. The Windham Concert Band is one of three performing groups under the umbrella of the Windham Community Bands. The band is a nonprofit, volunteer organization with musicians from around the southern New Hampshire area. The second concert of the season will take place on Saturday, July 14, and will be the return of the Seldom Playrights to the bandstand. The band is based in Portsmouth, and made its debut at the bandstand last year. The Seldom Playrights perform genuine honky-tonk country and American roots music. Next up in the bandstand is Cormac McCarthy, on July 21 who was scheduled to kick off last year’s concert

schedule, but was cancelled due to poor weather. Born in Ohio, but rooted in rural New England since the age of 10, McCarthy grew up in towns where the economies teetered on marginal sustenance from logging, and paper and woolen mills. Though the area was small, his musical influences were not: his father’s love for jazz and classical music introduced him to everything from Errol Garner to Beethoven. On July 28, Studio Two, The Beatles Tribute, returns to the bandstand with its tribute to the Fab Four. Studio Two concentrates on the most exciting and fun time in The Beatles career: The club and touring years. The band features graduates of Berklee College of Music and Beatles devotees. New to the bandstand on August 4 is the local jazz ensemble Yardbird Temple. The band features a number of Wolfeboro-area musicians playing music blended with the jazzy, funky and contemplative. The Freese Brothers Big Band returns to the bandstand on August 11, bringing their take on the big band classics. The band has been around since 1982 and features all volunteers who travel throughout the region and use their performance fees to maintain

equipment, pay travel expenses and hand out scholarships. Based in the seacoast area, the New Legacy Swing Band returns to the bandstand on Saturday, August 18. New Legacy Swing Band’s extensive music library includes big band, jazz, swing, waltzes, Latin, rock n’ roll, and R&B tunes from all music eras. The final Saturday in August brings a newcomer to the bandstand: Ball In The House, an R&B/soul/pop a cappella group based in Boston, Massachusetts. Their high-energy shows have audiences singing and dancing. The final performance of the summer is Acoustic Radio on

Saturday, September 1. This seacoastbased band has a century of live performanceexperience with a Beatlesgone-country sound that can entertain any venue. Concerts take place each Saturday night in July and August in the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand starting at 7 pm. The concerts are free to the public, though a pass-the-bucket offering is taken at intermission of each concert. In the event of rain, concerts will be cancelled and a notice will be posted at the entrance to the park and at the Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand Facebook page.

Take the Kids Fishing this Summer! By Sarah Wright There are so many different ways to enjoy the outdoors in this beautiful area of New Hampshire called the Lakes Region. Many people go hiking, paddle boarding, swimming, kayaking, and boating, but another great way to spend a summer day is to go fishing. After all, this is the “Lakes” Region, and that means lots of fish to catch. Fishing is fun for the whole family, and it’s easy to get started. Fishing also encourages family bonding, with everyone together, sharing stories and laughs while waiting for a bite. Whether you’re catching dinner, or just choosing to “catch and release,” it’ll be a memorable experience for everyone. And hey, kids under age 16 can fish for free. With large lakes known for their salmon, trout, and smallmouth bass, the area also has sparkling streams and rivers, and small ponds that offer many opportunities for fishing. At different times of the year, more than a dozen fish species can be caught from the shores of Lakes Region. You might catch a bluegill, cusk, crappie, perch, or pickerel, among others. But before you head out, you’ll need the right gear. A successful fishing day requires a rod and reel (of course); a tackle box with hooks, bobbers, non-lead sinkers, artificial or live bait, and a pair of pliers; a cooler with ice if you’re planning on bringing your catch home; and snacks and drinks for the family. Basic rod-and-reel fishing poles can be

easily found at sporting goods stores and large discount stores, or even yard sales. If you have small children, look for barbless hooks which are easier to remove from clothing, fish (should you decide to “catch and release”) and fingers. It’s important to dress for the weather, and include bug spray, sunscreen, and a hat when you head out. Wondering where to go? Here are some suggestions. Scenic Winnisquam Lake has rainbow and lake trout in its waters, along with smallmouth bass and white perch. NH Fish and Game’s accessible boat launch site offers shoreline space to hook a salmon or trout in the early season, and largemouth bass and yellow perch in the summer months. Don’t overlook nearby Opechee Bay, another great place to fish that’s within walking distance of downtown Laconia. There are opportunities here for rainbow trout, smallmouth bass, and yellow perch. Opechee Park is a great place to take kids fishing, with a beach and playground to entertain little ones. Another spot with plenty of access is below the Lakeport Dam where there’s shoreline on both sides of the inlet. Many of the smaller lakes in the area offer excellent warm and cold water fishing in a quieter, more peaceful setting. Fish and Game has a cartop access site at Pemigewasset Lake, with a fishing platform that cantilevers out over the lake. Anglers of all abilities can catch six different warm water

fish species from this scenic spot, like largemouth bass, black crappie, yellow perch, and pickerel. There is plenty of parking available here, and also at Waukewan Lake as well. The south end of Waukewan provides lots of shoreline next to the railroad. There are many warm water species here, and also rainbow trout. Naturally, the area’s most famous lake, Winnipesaukee, offers endless fishing opportunities. An added bonus is that most towns around the lake have restaurants, shops, and ice cream, to round out your day. The Meredith town docks at Hesky Park are a popular destination for shoreline fishing. For a quieter spot with access to similar fish species, try the Center Harbor town docks and town beach. The far-reaching dock is great for early season salmon and rainbow trout. At other times of the year, you can catch bass, perch, or pickerel. Within walking distance of the Loon Preservation Center in Moultonborough, the Lees Mills Boat Launch is a good spot for fishing for warm water fish, and there is plenty of shoreline access. The location of the Wolfeboro town docks works well, because it’s right where the Smith River flows into Lake Winnipesaukee. The spot is popular in the spring for salmon and rainbow trout, and for perch and smallmouth bass in the summertime. Alton town park and docks provides a similar experience to Wolfeboro. If you fish there on a summer evening, you might catch live music from the bandstand. Other good options around the region include Newfound Lake for salmon and lake trout. Also try Ellacoya State Park or the Governors Island Bridge in Gilford, Weirs Channel in Laconia, or the Long Island Bridge in Moultonborough.

Stream fishing is good for trout, and there are opportunities on the Smith, Pemigewasset, and Baker rivers. If you’re into fly-fishing, try Saltmarsh Pond in Gilford or Upper Hall Pond in Sandwich. If you and your children plan to “catch and release,” New Hampshire Fish and Game has some tips on how to properly handle the fish and best ensure its chances for survival. First, land the fish quickly. Next, remove the hook very carefully by gently backing it out of the fish’s mouth, using pliers if necessary. If you can, release the fish while it’s still in the water. Definitely do not shake a fish off the hook, unhook a fish while it’s suspended in the air, or sharply pull the hook out while the fish is twisting. Everyone in your family who is age 16 or older must have a fishing license. Purchase a temporary license or a seasonal one at www.fishnh.com, at Fish and Game Headquarters in Concord, from licensed agents at bait and tackle shops, retail stores (like Walmart and Dick’s Sporting Goods) or through local town or city clerk offices. For a full list of where to buy licenses, visit www.wildlife.state. nh.us and click on the “Fishing” tab. NH Fish and Game also holds fishing classes through its Let’s Go Fishing program. The current class schedule is also on the website, along with helpful resources like a bi-weekly fishing report on conditions across the state, as well as the dates of fishing seasons. There’s nothing like the excitement of getting a bite on your fishing line. Every kid should experience it. Fishing also offers kids a great lesson in patience, while waiting for that exciting moment. The anticipation is half the fun!

“CRITTERS” by Madeleine Lord “CRITTERS” is a fresh new, creative and humorous exhibit of wire drawings by Madeleine Lord. The show will open at the Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery on Maple Street in Center Sandwich on June 30. The public is invited to a reception to meet the artist from 5 to 7 pm.

TOWER HILL

TA VER N

Inspired by the work of Alexander Calder at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston where she teaches, Lord has created drawings made from one piece of bended wire. Unlike paintbrush strokes that can be any length, the wire has a beginning and an end. As Lord twists, bends and knots the

wire, unique critters take shape. A donkey’s curly mane adds sass to its body, while a camel ambles through the desert to visit a pyramid. The critters make you smile while their ingenious fabrication give pause for thought. Madeleine Lord is no stranger to the Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery. She has been exhibiting there since the gallery opened in 2002. Lord’s original sculptures were pieces cut with a blowtorch from the sides of old refrigerators, dishwashers and stoves. From these treasures, Lord created fashions, figures, flowers and animals before moving on to her welded pieces made from carefully selected morsels of scrap metal found in the metal yard in Readville, Massachusetts. Many different artists, including Giacometti, Brancusi, Parthenon friezes and John Chamberlain to mention just a few, influence Lord. She studied under

Leonard Baskin at Smith College, and she is a gifted painter and printmaker but her real fascination is creating assemblages out of scraps interlacing empty spaces with metal shapes to create art that “wakes you up”. Though Lord is not the only artist working with scrap metal, she is certainly one of the most talented who is never afraid to take on a new and daunting project. Because of her unique vision, pieces of “junk” live on as works of art in both public and private collections throughout the United States. Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery is located at 69 Maple Street in Center Sandwich. Gallery hours are from 10 am to 5 pm, Mondays through Saturdays and noon to 5 pm on Sundays.
