Back on the Boat with Captain Bill Story & Photos by Kathi Caldwell-Hopper Bill Verner just wanted to own a boat.

Like many of us, it was a “wish-I-could but maybe can’t afford it” dream.

Although from Massachusetts, Bill, a retired firefighter and a veteran, spends a lot of time in the Lakes Region. It could be said he is on the lake - come summer or winter - more than most year-round residents.

Owning a boat could have remained just a dream. But Bill found a way to get that boat and in the process, he has made it possible for many, many people to share his love of Lake Winnipesaukee.

Winnipesaukee Boat Tours was born when Bill figured out he could indeed afford a boat if he offered tours to the paying public. It was a great idea, and he formed his company about four to five years ago. His first boat, a Bow Rider, was met with enthusiasm and he was busy taking families and groups for a day or half-day or a few hours out on the lake.

In 2015, I took the boat tour and spent a wonderful day on Winnipesaukee. As I recall, it was a hot July day and it was refreshing to be touring the lake where it was decidedly cooler. Bill knows the lake very well and he took me all around Winnipesaukee, stopping at little coves and driving slowly by some of the islands and sharing historical information and other fun facts.

Thus, this summer seemed the perfect time to get back on the boat with

A view from Lake Winnipesaukee Boat Tours.

Captain Bill, because, since my last time on a Lake Winnipesaukee Boat Tour, he has traded in his original Bow Rider for a new boat. It is a “couch on the water” as he laughingly refers to his 27-foot long Starcraft pontoon boat, with a capacity for 14 people.

Bill met me at the Weirs Beach docks on a sunny late June morning. It was fairly early and I enjoyed the quiet

SUMMERTIME SALE!

while I waited for Bill to arrive. Only a few early joggers and others enjoying the boardwalk were about. Soon, I saw a boat approaching, and I knew it was Bill, wearing his signature red shirt and cap.

The pontoon boat is indeed a beauty, and after he tied up the boat at the docks, I was able to step right on board and take a comfortable seat.

Safety comes first with Captain Bill, and it always will. He explains his boating excursion business started when his grandson was born. You can feel Bill’s pride in his grandson, Logan, as he says if he was going to have a boat, it had to be a safe place for the child. And what could be better for safety than a large pontoon boat?

Bill points to the areas of the boat where he keeps life jackets, and medical supplies. He is a retired firefighter and well able to handle any emergency. Although medical issues and emergencies are likely far from the minds of those who are on vacation and just want to get out on the lake, Bill is ever aware of how important following safety and navigational rules can be when on the water.

As we prepared to head out onto the lake, Bill asked, “So where do you want to go?” That question, for me, is rather like asking a kid what he wants if confronted with a counter full of sweets in a candy store. Because I could not decide, I suggested Bill show me some of the places his customers often ask to see.

We headed first through the Weirs Channel, with access to Paugus Bay. Bill drove through the channel slowly, and always followed the speed limits.

“Paugus Bay is the outlet to Lake Winnipesaukee,” he explained as we drove slowly past all the little cottages you just don’t necessarily see from the • Captain Bill Continued on page 4

Eventually, we turned around and headed back through the Weirs Channel. Ahead of us, Bill pointed out the Ossipee Mountain Range and commented on how pretty the mountains are as seen from the lake during fall’s foliage season.

Although Bill will pick up customers at whatever location they wish, such as at their lakeside cottage or a marina, many choose to meet him at the Weirs Beach docks. “I want people to relax on the boat, and have a good time. I always suggest they bring a cooler full of snacks.”

As we head towards the Governor’s Island area, Bill explains he has regular customers who have gotten older and

July 2, 2018 don’t own a boat any longer. But they still want to get out on the water, and taking a Lake Winnipesaukee Boat tour a few times a summer fits their needs.

“I offer two tour choices,” Bill explains. “A captain’s choice tour (some of the places Bill thinks customers may like) or you choose where you want to go. In both cases, I drive you and you just sit back and relax.”

Bill also has water skis and tubes for those who want to try these fun sporting activities.

Nearing Governor’s Island, Bill slows so I can get a good water view of all the large homes and boat houses. It is fun to see Governor’s Island on one side of us, and right across the lake, the Glendale area.

“Let’s head to Sally’s Gut,” Bill suggests. I am no great scholar of places on the lake, so I let Bill decide

where we will go. As we approach the area, he explains that Stonedam Island, which we see on one side of us, is open to the public with hiking trails. You need to have a boat to get there, but it is a great, peaceful nature area. Indeed, I do not see a single home or cottage hugging the shoreline of Stonedam; it is a natural area kept pristine for wildlife and visitors.

We glide through a cove area and this is definitely the way to see the little inlets on a sunny, yet quiet summer morning. Not many people are stirring, and some cottages and lakefront homes are not occupied, probably waiting for summer or weekend residents to arrive later in the day.

We encounter a lone kayaker, and Bill is careful to stay far away, allowing the kayaker space to maneuver. We wave hello but that is all: disturbing the peace and tranquility of a morning’s kayak on the lake would seem disrespectful.

“I have been to 90 percent of the northern end of the lake,” Bill says. It is a popular area for those taking the boat tour. Bill offers sunset cruises, and I can’t think of a more wonderful way to watch the sun set over the lake on a hot summer’s day.

Because the morning is going by - it is amazing how fast the hours fly by when on the lake - we head back to the Weirs area. On the way, we pass the Akwa Marina Yacht Club, where a large white outdoor tent is set up, probably for a party or a wedding.

Bill points out a tall lighthouse shaped structure on private land, near the water’s edge. It is one of the many intriguing buildings/areas on the lake. This is what makes Lake Winnipesaukee so fascinating: not only

the water sports fun, but also the lake culture and stories that have sprung up over the years.

Certainly, many people are taking advantage of Lake Winnipesaukee Boat Tours. Bill says about 60 percent of his business is to repeat customers.

“I do a lot of family parties and tours for people up here on vacation.”

Bill stresses that because safety comes first, now and then a tour must be rescheduled if bad weather suddenly comes in. (Indeed, at the close of our tour a few years ago, the hot and humid morning gave way to cloudy skies around noon. Bill made sure he had me back at the docks and himself home well before a thunderstorm predicted for late afternoon began.)

“I have been doing this for four years. I am open for tours from May 15 to October 15, and I still love it. It is great in the summer, but pretty special during foliage season too. People are in awe as they look around at everything, as seen from the water,” he adds.

Bill plans to keep offering boat tours “until it’s no longer fun. I really enjoy showing people the lake and sharing its beauty.”

Indeed, while Bill Verner may have started out with the desire to “just own a boat,” clearly Lake Winnipesaukee Boat Tours has become much more than just a guy with a boat. If you don’t own a boat, or if you are here on vacation and want to be out on the water with someone who knows every nook and cranny, a Winnipesaukee Boat Tour will provide you with some great sights…and a knowledgeable and fun captain.

Get Ready for Weirs Beach Summer Fireworks!

The Weirs Action Committee once again is presenting the popular Fireworks at Weirs Beach. The Weirs Beach Fireworks are the first in the state to celebrate the 4th of July holiday, with fireworks on Tuesday, July 3 at 11:59 pm!

Why at midnight? This long-standing tradition began back in the 1950s, when summer visitors and local residents were eager to commence the official kick-off to summer. Vacationers enjoy the long summer nights, the variety of dining options around the lake, and the tradition of bringing the family to Weirs Beach to play games at the arcades, stroll the boardwalk, grab some souvenirs, and enjoy an ice cream while watching the fireworks being set up on the beach in anticipation for the show to begin.

The City of Laconia is the sponsor of the July 3 celebration, and hundreds show up on Lakeside Avenue to get a good spot for viewing the spectacular show. Boaters parade in and fill the bay overlooking Weirs Beach in a sea of red and green lights reflecting off the water. After the 4th, the Weirs Beach Fireworks continue with a special Sunday show on July 8 at 10 pm, and then every Friday night at 10 pm, until the final show on Sunday of Labor Day weekend at 10 pm.

Atlas Fireworks has been instrumental by providing the shows and helping to support this tradition.

Enterprises and the Weirs Action Committee (WAC) sponsor the Labor Day show. But since there are no specific sponsors for the regular Friday night shows, which cost roughly $3,000 per show, there is a great need for community support. WAC thanks the many local partners who have provided support in the past, and hopes that businesses, residents and visitors alike are motivated to send in donations to ensure that this event will continue to make Weirs Beach and the Lakes Region a destination for families. For up-to-date fireworks information and for secure donations, visit www.WeirsBeachFireworks.com and/or Facebook at Facebook.com/ WeirsBeach.WAC.

The Celebration of the Summer Celebrate Laconia, in partnership with the City of Laconia, is organizing the event of the summer, to be held on Saturday, July 7. In honor of Laconia’s 125th Anniversary as a New Hampshire city and in celebration of the nation’s independence, a day-long festival is planned, including a parade, festival and fireworks. (This event will take the place of the annual July 4th fireworks and celebration.)

A mile-long parade will start the festivities at 2 pm on July 7. Starting from Laconia High School, the parade, themed: “Celebrating Our Industries” will embody the diverse economy and culture of Laconia and the Lakes Region and promote community pride. Celebrate Laconia encourages all businesses, organizations, teams, and community groups to register to be in the parade, to showcase what community means to your industry.

In addition, all neighborhoods of the city are encouraged to get nostalgic and showcase their corner of the city.

Floats, decorated bikes and cars, banners and more are all welcome to be in the parade.

The parade concludes its route at Opechee Park, where the rest of the festivities will occur. With a diverse and energetic musical line-up starting at 3 pm, the Festival Main Stage will be the anchor of the day, and proudly sponsored by the Laconia Putnam Fund. The musical lineup includes Sweep the Leg, Epic Season, Dan Walker and the Rockin’ Daddios. A community-focused tent will promote unique activities and entertainment for all ages, including dance performances and kid-friendly workshops.

Throughout the park there will be local craft and food vendors, promoting NH made products and treats, a celebratory

sand sculpture from world-renowned sculptor Justin Gordon, games, a hot air balloon ride courtesy of ReMax Bayside, a beer and wine garden at Opechee Point hosted by 405 Pub & Grill, and much more.

Closing out the celebrations will be a spectacular fireworks display, illuminating the night sky and celebrating the community and the nation. Celebrate Laconia is hosting the event for the community and all are welcome to attend the festivities.

For those interested in being part of the events, either as a volunteer or a supporter, please email connect@ celebratelaconia.org, or visit the website at www.celebratelaconia.org.

This event, along with Celebrate Laconia’s other community-wide initiatives are made possible through the generous support of: Bank of New Hampshire, Belknap Landscape

Company, Faro Italian Grille, Kennell Orthodontics, Laconia Daily Sun, Laconia Putnam Fund, Lakes Region Community Services and Normandin, Cheney & O’Neil.

Celebrate Laconia is a 501c3 nonprofit, civic organization whose mission is to celebrate the past, present and future of the City of Laconia; to promote vitality throughout the entire community by coordinating citizens, public officials, civic and non-profit organizations, and private businesses; to encourage cultural and economic development; and to develop a framework for the future of the city.

Ashland Book Sale Has Something for Every Reader The Friends of the Ashland Town Library will hold their Summer Book Sale by donation on the library grounds from 9 am to 2 pm on Saturday, July 7.

The donations for the books, videos and audiobooks will be used for the support and improvement of the Ashland Town Library, as the Friends assist the library through the purchase of books, videos, equipment and program supplies, and by funding programs and special projects. The two

book sales held by the Friends in the summer and the fall are their major fundraisers. The sale will take place under a tent, rain or shine.

The event will also include raffles.

Currently underway are three raffles with separate prizes, a Sunbeam queen size dual control electric blanket (value $100), two tickets for the US Mail Boat Sophie C. on Lake Winnipesaukee, with an accompanying book by Bruce Heald on the Sophie C. (value $79.95), and a

National Geographic Great Course on Fundamentals of Photography, with DVD and book (value $34.95). Tickets for the three raffles are $2 each or three for $5, and can be bought now at the Town Library, or at the Book Sale.

On the day of the sale, there will also be a 50/50 raffle, with the proceeds divided equally between the winner and the Friends. Tickets for that raffle will sell for $1 each, six for $5 and fifteen for $10. The winning tickets for

all four raffles will be drawn at the end of the Book Sale.

The Ashland Town Library is located at 41 Main Street, at the junction of Routes 3 and 25 with Route 132, in the center of downtown Ashland.

Be sure to come to find good books and videos at the price you think is reasonable and to help the Friends support Ashland’s free library. Call 603-968-7716.

Check with your local fire department if permissible fireworks are allowed in your area.

Celebrate Meredith 250th 1968 Time Capsule Opening & Special Fireworks Display Celebrate Independence Day with the Meredith 250th Anniversary on Wednesday, July 4th. The contents of a 1968 Time Capsule will be unveiled at 2 pm at the Chase House and a special fireworks display will begin at dusk

at Hesky Park on Meredith Bay. Both events are free and open to the public.

“I’ve been dying to know what’s in the time capsule since I started working at the library 10 years ago,” said Erin Apostolos, Time Capsule Committee

Chair. “When asked to chair the Time Capsule Committee, I was happy to come on board.”

When the 1968 Time Capsule is opened, a slide show featuring events in Meredith in 1968 will be played.

Attendees from the 1968 celebration are asked to gather at the Meredith Public Library, 91 Main Street, at 1 pm for a group photo. They will then be asked to escort the time capsule, carried in the back of an antique pick-up truck and led by drummers, to the Chase House for its 2 pm opening. Seating will be reserved in the front rows of the Chase House for the 1968 attendees.

After the opening, everyone is invited to a free ice cream social sponsored by the Common Man Restaurants. All event attendees are invited to dress in clothes representing 1968, but that is optional. Lakes Region Public Access will be filming the opening.

Apostolos went on to explain that as part of the Meredith Bicentennial Celebration, two time capsules were buried on July 4, 1969 on the library’s front lawn. They contained items that represented Meredith in 1968. One was set to be opened in 50 years on July 4, 2018 and a second one in 100 years in 2068.

The Time Capsule Committee has been working on this project for a year.

Members are, along with Apostolos, Betty Strader, Jonathan James, Linda Hough, Beverly Heyduk, Judy Dever and Karen Thorndike. The committee is also charged with creating a new time capsule and is seeking ideas on what to

put in it that would represent Meredith today. This time capsule will be buried alongside the one which is still in the ground, to be opened in 2068. If anyone has suggestions, please contact Linda Hough at the Meredith Library, linda@ meredithlibrary.org or call 603-2794303.

At dusk, a special fireworks display will celebrate the 4th of July and the Meredith 250th Anniversary. Thanks to a $10,000 grant from the Lakes Region Community Fund of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation, this year’s fireworks are sure to be a magnificent display for all to enjoy.

The Meredith 250th Committee is a group of volunteer citizens working under the umbrella of the Greater Meredith Program to plan the activities and events to celebrate the Town of Meredith’s 250th Anniversary in 2018.

Other upcoming events include “A Day at the Park” on July 14 and “Meredith 250th Main Street Parade” on August 11.

Meetings are scheduled on the fourth Monday of the month at 6 pm at the Meredith Community Center and are open to the public.

For more information or to volunteer, please come to a meeting, visit the Greater Meredith Program website at www.GreaterMeredithProgram. com or contact Committee Co-Chairs Jeanie Forrester at 603-380-2523 or jlf@worldpath.net or Steve Durand at 603-726-6160 or swdemt@metrocast. net.

This year, one of the largest parades in New Hampshire on the Fourth of July will take place in Wolfeboro.

The annual Independence Day Parade, which will carry the theme “We The People,” will travel down Main Street beginning at 10 am. Floats also will contain a special guest – Major Carol Moore, a retired Marine and descendant of founding father Benjamin Franklin.

Moore will ride in one of the Wright Museum of World War II’s vehicles from the WWII era to commemorate

Wolfeboro’s 4th of July parade. the 100th anniversary of women serving in the Marine Corps. The

Wright Museum’s entries in the parade also include a float focusing on the home front during WWII and a host of other WWII vehicles.

“The Wright Museum is proud that Major Carol Moore will join in the Wolfeboro Independence Day Parade,” said Michael Culver, executive director of the Wright Museum. “Major Moore’s distinguished career exemplifies the important role that women in uniform have played in American history, making her a perfect role model to honor the 100th anniversary of women serving in the Marine Corps and this country’s Independence Day.” Moore served in the Marines for nearly 20 years, volunteering in 1974 after graduating from Cornell University. She served as a lieutenant in active duty until 1977 and was then a reserve for 12 more years. She is a veteran of both the Vietnam War and Cold War and received the Armed

Forces Reserve medal.

“I volunteered for the Marines because I believe in the universal service – of some sort, not necessarily military service – and our government is of the people and we as citizens are ultimately responsible,” Moore said. “I have never missed an opportunity to vote.”

In light of the anniversary of women serving in the Marine Corps, Moore discussed some of what she experienced when she first enlisted, demonstrating the growth and inclusion of roles in the service for women.

“I graduated from an Ivy League college and then entered the Marine Corps, and it was like entering the Dark Ages,” Moore said. “We had no serviceable utility uniforms and were required to wear a girdle all of the time. As women, we had to do our own laundry and our clothing was odd-sized. We had classes on how to apply makeup, and our clothing was all skirts, except for some slacks we inherited from the Navy—but all of that was changing.”

The parade featuring Moore and the rest of the lineup from the Wright Museum will begin at 10 am and last until noon on July 4. The procession will travel along Main Street through the center of Wolfeboro.

For more information about the Wright Museum, visit www.wrightmuseum. org. The Wright Museum is open daily through October 31. Its hours are 10 am to 4 pm, Monday through Saturday and noon to 4 pm on Sunday.

History Comes Alive at Wolfeboro Historical Society The Wolfeboro Historical Society is 92 years young and now open for the season with many things to do and see.

Within the property, the Clark House Complex includes four buildings.

The Clark House takes you back in time to 1778 to experience how life was lived in the early 1800’s. The tour of the house includes the dining room, kitchen, parlor, borning room, and two bedrooms, where one wonders how Enoch and Sarah Hayes Clark raised 10 children in the 1800’s!

In the 1895 schoolhouse everyone, including kids, will learn what was expected of them besides being students. The rules are posted on the

front wall. The older children in the upper grades were also teachers to the younger children during the same day, in the same one-room schoolhouse.

(Picture that as you sit in the bench seats with slates and chalk instead of pens, paper, and computers.)

Jim Rogers, whose family has lived in Wolfeboro since the 1700’s, provides a colorful history of the on-site fire engines…and his family as well. The Monitor No. 1, hand-operated engine was built by William C. Hunneman & Co. in 1842. There are numerous other fire engines, all of which were lovingly restored.

Jim will tell how the fire engines

arrived in Wolfeboro and came to reside in the fire house. All tours are Wednesday through Friday from 10 am to 4 pm and on Saturday from 10 am to 2 pm. The summer season begins on July 5, when Society members will be marching in the Fourth of July parade, along with DAR women.

The July 9 speaker will be from the Humanities to Go series. George Morrison will give a talk titled Benedict Arnold, Patriot (and Traitor). George takes us along on a journey through New England, Quebec Province, and New York exploring historic and modern images and memory. “We all know Benedict Arnold, the traitor of

1780, but this ignores his many exploits of 1775, 1776, and 1777 when the dream of independence was at its most fragile.” This talk will explain how a tiny American army advances through a howling wilderness to besiege “the Gibraltar of the Americas”, its attack against impossible odds in a blinding snowstorm and other intriguing facts.

It will start at 7 pm at the Clark Complex (across from Huggins Hospital) in Wolfeboro. Admission for all programs is free, and there will be light refreshments. Learn more about us and upcoming events at www. wolfeborohistoricalsociety.org.

The Producers On Stage at The Barnstormers The Barnstormers Theatre is proud to open their 88th summer season of live, professional theatre in Tamworth with The Producers, Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan’s musical farce about two guys who decide to swindle their way to riches on Broadway. The show runs through July 7.

“We are thrilled to be opening our season with The Producers,” said Bob Shea, Barnstormer’s artistic director and director of this production. “It’s got everything that makes a musical great: interesting characters, outrageous musical numbers, and a larger-than-life story. The Producers is outrageous and

irreverent - if you liked Spamalot last season, then this is your show.”

The Producers is the story of downand-out producer Max Bialystock, a fallen Broadway hero, who is wooing older women in order to cover his losses. One day, Max’s new accountant, Leo Bloom, mentions to Max that if he found investors for a new production that turned into a flop, legally he could keep all the money.

Inspired, the duo begins to put together the worst possible play with a horrible director and a high-maintenance star in the hopes of making it big financially.

The all-star cast includes Barnstormers favorites Tony Edgerton and Jordan Ahnquist as Max and Leo, Doug Shapiro as Roger DeBris, Jason Guy as Franz Liebkind, Jordan Stanley as Carmen Ghia, and Becca Gottlieb as Ulla. Bringing the neon lights of Broadway to life is the powerhouse ensemble featuring favorites such as Pim Van Amerogen, Sara Coombs, Penny Purcell, Lisa Joyce, Versee Damien, Michael Voegele, and Hannah

Nye, along with newcomers Alicia Krakauer, Adrienne Paquin, Matthew Balkum, Craig Franke, Matthew Carp, Rebecca Skowron, and Megan Mistretta.

The Producers is a mature comedy, so parents of young children please be advised before bringing your kids to the show.

For tickets, visit The Barnstormers at www.BarnstormersTheatre. org or call the Box Office, which is open Monday to Saturday 10 am to 6 pm, at 603-323-8500. Be sure to ask about group deals, season subscriptions, Play-Eat-Stay packages and other special promotions.

The Barnstormers Theatre, located in Tamworth Village, performs for two weeks per show, Thursday through Saturday evenings at 7:30 pm, with weekend matinees on Saturday at 2 pm and some Sundays at 5 pm. The theatre has air conditioning, comfortable seating, a state-of-the-art assisted hearing system, and wheelchair access.

Basement tours and classic cars among the Castle’s summer attractions

By Mark Foynes Up on high and tucked away in the Lakes Region, there’s a castle among the clouds. Although aloft, beneath it - dug into the ledge of the Ossipee Range’s bedrock - there’s a world of wonders that beckons. You are welcome to explore that world.

Moultonborough’s Lucknow Estate, known popularly as the Castle in the Clouds, is one of the region’s leading attractions for tourists from afar; it’s also a car-ride destination for day trippers seeking to enjoy or reexperience a true gem of the region’s resplendence.

Since it became a museum over

a half-century ago, generations have toured the early 20th-century Craftsman-style mansion.

They marvel at Castle in the Clouds’ opulent decor and technological innovations.

Museum-trained interpreters answer visitor questions. Scenic vistas await.

Nature trails amongst hardwood stands of beech, oak and birch implore exploration.

This year, visitors can delve deeper.

Literally.

Special basement tours will be offered several times each week - July through October - giving visitors a chance to view the inner workings and under workings of some of the

structure’s domestic technology and insights into the life and work of the Plant family’s domestic staff. (Thomas Plant was the original owner of the Castle and property.)

“We’re bringing back by popular demand a special ‘behind-the-scenes’ kind of experience that adds layers of meaning onto their appreciation of the Castle,” said Amy Bishop, of the Castle Preservation Society, which manages the ongoing efforts to preserve the property and share it with a wide and diverse public.

General tours of the Castle focus on the lives of Boston-based shoe magnate Thomas Gustave Plant and his wife Olive. General visitors can reflect upon and appreciate the remarkable details of a dwelling the Plants completed in 1914.

But the property’s current-day administrators are dedicated to consistently enhancing the visitor experience from both an experiential and historically-interpretive standpoint.

“We’re pulling back the veil; this is showing how the castle actually functioned from the perspective of the [domestic] staff,” Bishop added.

The Plant family and their guests, while at Lucknow, enjoyed a lifestyle that was virtually unparalleled amongst their neighbors in the Lakes Region.

Supporting this way of life were outof-view household technologies that were attended to by a phalanx of servants. Since the Plants wanted their estate to exude an air of luxury, many of the technological workings were installed in such a way that they were out of guests’ view.

“This is going to be about the least articulate thing I say all week, but it is really, really amazing,” Bishop said as she exuded enthusiasm for the basement tour.

The revived public program she’s referring to will again allow visitors to see the inner workings of the Castle.

Tours will be offered three times daily from July through October 21.

“It’s a chance to go behind the scenes, and to check out the inner workings,” Bishop said. She cited a central vacuum system and an ammonia brine food registration system as just a few of the ca. 1914 modern marvels visitors can • Castle Continued on page 15

“Some of the things we take for granted were cutting edge back then,” she added, noting the Plant family’s ability to keep wholesome food cold.

The basement is definitely a basement - there are countless linear feet of exposed pipes and the like. Yet it offers valuable social history insights and possesses an aesthetic that most cellars don’t convey. Stoneware tiles line the floors. Relatively ornate hardwood doors offer egress into rooms that house the various machinery that made the Castle into the modern marvel it was. Architectural elements feature aesthetic touches like ornate hardware and the like.

Bishop said that the tour, from an interpretive standpoint, is best appreciated by visitors over the age of eight. She said that the technological focus incites the curiosity of older children and the interest of adults who can appreciate the inception of technologies we now take for granted.

There is a certain “Upstairs, Downstairs” dynamic that comes into play, but all of the components are part of an integrated story.

“The treasures upstairs in the Castle itself are, of course, remarkable, but it is really intriguing to learn the stories of some of the other people who made this place what it is. This is something we want to share with visitors,” she added.

The tour includes a window into the lives of everyday servants who

managed the Castle’s modern food refrigeration mechanisms and its central vacuum system.

“This was state-of-the-art, relative to the time period, of course,” Bishop noted.

Nonetheless, the Plant family still needed to employ a full staff to manage these systems and to execute the manual labor necessary to keep them going.

Bishop said the Castle at one time offered basement tours that had been suspended after several seasons. “But in recent years, people - more and more of them - have been asking when we’d do basement tours again. So, incorporating this into what we do is kind of a ‘back by popular demand’ thing,” Bishop said. “But it’s also a great way to re-introduce an important part of the story into the visitor experience.”

Also upcoming is the Castle’s annual car show. This will be on July 7 and is an annual event whose proceeds help benefit ongoing efforts to preserve the property.

“The Castle’s history really coincides with the rise of car travel,” Bishop said.

The Lucknow Estate was completed at a time when the automobile was just coming of age. Car folks will know this as the Brass Era. There are usually some vehicles from this time period owing in part to its proximity to some of the region’s leading collectors.

Vehicles from any time period are welcome to exhibit for a fee that also includes museum admission. Bishop said that most of the cars trend older but that there’s not a date cut-off on

the modern side. She said that Model A’s, Hudsons, and even late model Corvettes have exhibited.

“It’s a venue where people who are interested in and appreciate awesome cars can show what they have and appreciate all the work that goes into them,” Bishop said.

If you visit for a basement tour, the cost is $25 for non-members and $10 for members who have made a tax-deductible contribution to join the Castle. (The fee includes regular admission as well). Pre-registration is recommended as the maximum group size is eight. Online registration is the preferred method of registering: https://www.castleintheclouds.org/ castle-basement-tours/.

Being a historic structure, it is understandable that sections might be difficult for some folks with mobility concerns. Tour participants will need to navigate two sets of stairs down and up from the cellar. Lighting is considered dim, but incandescent lighting in the accessible spaces illuminate the few

physical obstacles in visitors’ paths.

The Castle promises the tours will take place in “intimate” groups of no more than eight. Pre-registration is requested, but non-pre-registrants may be admitted if space allows.

To exhibit, there is a $25 registration fee per automobile. The first 100 people to register will receive a commemorative dash plaque and a goody bag. For non-exhibitors, admission to the car show is included in the price of your regular admission ticket to tour the Castle. For those coming for the Car Show only, please enter via Ossipee Park Road and pay a $5 spectator fee per person.

The event runs from 10 am to 3 pm on July 7. To register, ask for Stephanie by calling 603-476-5410.

Castle in the Clouds is a nonprofit entity devoted to preserving the Lucknow Estate and its special place in the region’s heritage. It is open daily from 10 am to 5:30 pm through October 21. Call 603-476-5900 for information.

31st Annual Central NH VNA & Hospice Home and Garden Tour Four delightful, uniquely different homes will be open touring on this year’s 31st Annual Home and Garden Tour benefitting Central New Hampshire VNA and Hospice. The tour will take place Wednesday, July 11 from 10 am to 4 pm in the greater Wolfeboro area.

This year’s homes include a totally renovated Cape and barn originally built in the 1790s and located on 11 acres of spacious farm land. A second Cape has magnificent views of both Barndoor Island and Gunstock Mountain and was built in 1999 as a retirement home. Also featured on the tour is an in-town, beautifully decorated turn-of-the-20th-century home and a

recently constructed, large lake Lake Winnipesaukee home.

Tickets for the event can be purchased at Black’s Paper and Gift Store, 8 South Main Street in Wolfeboro.

There is also an optional luncheon ticket available; this year’s luncheon will be held at the newly restored Barn at Pickering House. (The inn will not be open to the public at this time.)

Luncheon tickets are limited and must be purchased in advance. Only cash or check will be accepted at Black’s. New this year is the option to purchase tickets online. Please visit www.centralvna.org/tour for more information regarding online purchases or call Leslie Ari, Director of Fund Development at

1-800-244-9849.

House tour committee members will once again be selling the popular Dine Around Raffle tickets every Saturday morning leading up to the tour at Harvest Market, 36 Center Street, Wolfeboro. Over 50 area restaurants participate in this yearly event.

All proceeds from the tour, luncheon and raffle benefit the hospice program

Keep Winnipesaukee Clean - Put a Sock in it!

Be a clean boater. Did you know that one quart of oil could contaminate 250,000 gallons of water? Proper boat maintenance protects the lake, which is why the Lake Winnipesaukee Association encourages boat owners to use bilge socks. Oil and fuel can leak from the boat’s engine and collect in the bilge compartment. When the bilge is activated, these chemicals are discharged into the lake. Bilge socks absorb the excess oil and gas, preventing these substances from polluting the lake. Using a bilge sock is an easy and inexpensive way to protect FAMILY 8 OWNEDLake Winnipesaukee.

Hospice provides care and support to individuals and their families with an emphasis on quality of life, comfort, dignity and respect. For more information about the hospice program, contact 1-800244-9849 or go to www.centralvna.org.

Some other tips to being a clean boater: · Use proper care when fueling your boat – do not top off your tank. · Do not wash your boat in the lake – only at an approved wash station, or away from the lake. Use nontoxic, and chlorine and phosphate free cleaners. · Use Pump Out Stations – it is illegal to discharge untreated sewage into the lake. · Clean, drain, and dry your boat when trailering to help prevent the spread of invasive species from one waterbody to another.

The Lake Winnipesaukee Association is dedicated to protecting the water quality and natural resources of the lake and its watershed today and for our children tomorrow. For additional information or any questions, contact 603-581-6632 or email: mail@ winnipesaukee.org.

Chillin’ While Grillin’ Grilled Chicken Recipes #1 when it comes to making the same protein taste so awesome in so many different ways.

On the grill, barbecued chicken is likely the most popular choice, but today’s culinary class is geared toward giving everyone some real fun options to make your crowd smile.

Most of my choices today are based around cooking boneless chicken breasts and thighs. I know chicken breasts are the most popular and the healthiest of the two, but I’m a much bigger fan of boneless thighs. Breasts do have a tendency to be dry if not careful when grilling, whereas thighs generally come off the grill much moister. The choice is yours, however, and as I present with the upcoming recipes, feel free to try whatever you prefer. If and when cooking with a dry rub, I always prefer thighs. If a glaze

By Chef Kelly Ross I hope everyone is enjoying summer so far. The weather has been outstanding all in all and no matter what your favorite summertime activities are, the weather has been very accommodating. In particular, it has made for some great grilling weather.

We all love to grill this time of year.

The choices of proteins to prepare on the grill are many, but when it comes to grilling chicken, the recipes are endless. Other than vegetarians, I have never met anyone who doesn’t like chicken. Without a doubt, it is the most versatile protein to prepare and cook because there is an incredible array of menu and recipe options. Whether cooking on the grill, in the oven, or in a sauté pan, chicken has many variations.

Between using different spices, sauces, marinades, and ingredients, chicken is

That way the marinade gets inside the meat as well as the outside. Don’t get me wrong, this will be awesome regardless, but a needler, which is only about a $20 investment, makes the marinating experience so much better and gives meats a much better flavor.

In a bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, granulated garlic, honey, oil, oregano, and basil and whisk well. Pour over the chicken in a pan and marinade.

If needled, 60 minutes is all you need.

If not needled, I would suggest 2 hours.

or sauce is involved, it’s not quite as important. Not all these recipes will be using boneless pieces of chicken, but that is a mentality in which I strongly believe. After mentioning the breasts vs. thigh argument, keep in mind thighs are generally smaller in size and weight. As a result, 4 breasts equal about 6-8 thighs in most cases.

Let’s get started and get our grillin’ on.

First on my list is a little dish I like to call Chicken from the Bay, as this has a strong California flair and flavor to it. As you read the list of ingredients involved, you will see the influence from our western state. It’s got a great blend of ingredients and the final presentation is as awesome as the flavor. Here is your ingredient list. ¾ cup balsamic vinegar 1 tsp granulated garlic or garlic powder 2 Tbsp honey 2 Tbsp olive oil 1 tsp oregano 1 tsp basil Salt and pepper Pan release spray

July 2, 2018 • Chillin’ While Grillin’ Continued from page 24 Spray a medium-high heated grill with the pan release spray. Even though there is oil in the marinade, pan release helps in a big way to the chicken from sticking to the grill. Pop on the chicken and grill for 4-5 minutes, flip, and cook until almost done. I always suggest using a thermometer unless you are a seasoned veteran. Once they are close, top the chicken with the mozzarella, tomato, and avocado and close the grill for a minute or two so the cheese is well melted. Once off the grill, top with fresh sliced basil and drizzle with balsamic glaze and dig in.

We started off with some California flavor. Next, we’ll keep it close to California, but with a totally different flavor, but arguably just as awesome.

This one has a south of the border flare to it which I call Grilled Salsa Verde Chicken. It has outstanding flavor and you can make it as spicy hot as you want, depending on how much you like jalapenos. This again is a marinated recipe, so if you have that needler, use it. Shopping list is the following.

1 jar salsa verde 2 Tbsp olive oil Juice of a lime 3 cloves garlic, minced ½ tsp chili powder ½ tsp ground cumin 4 boneless breasts or 6-8 boneless thighs Pan release spray 4-8 slices of pepper jack cheese, or Monterey jack, 1 per piece of chicken 1-2 finely sliced fresh jalapenos (optional) but recommended ½ red onion, finely diced 2-3 Tbsp of fresh cilantro Crushed Doritos (optional) Lime wedges In a bowl, combine ½ of the jar of salsa verde (the other half will be used for basting while grilling), oil, lime juice, garlic, chili powder and cumin and whisk together very well.

Add the chicken and refrigerate. If

needled, marinade for 60 minutes. If not needled, give it 2 hours or so.

Again, spray the medium-high heated grill and add the chicken to the grill.

Baste the chicken with the salsa verde, and once flipped, baste again. Similar to the last recipe, cook until almost done. Add a slice of cheese to each piece, then jalapeno and onion and close the lid of the grill and cook for another minute or two until the cheese is well melted. Once off the grill, top with fresh cilantro and crushed tortillas if desired and serve with a lime wedge.

Good stuff. I love the flavor of the south of the border culinary mentality.

Although everyone does barbecued chicken, I’m going to share one that has an outstanding twist. As opposed to boneless chicken, which I have gone with for the first two, I love this one better with bone-in chicken, more like a traditional barbecue. This one contains a sweet chili and a peach glaze sauce.

Wicked simple, but the combination of peaches and chili sauce gives this barbecued chicken an originality as opposed to the norm. Although I suggest this one be done with a bone-in chicken, and again, I prefer thighs, but there is no reason why you can’t use a split chicken or boneless chicken. The

glaze/sauce is much more effective with a longer grilling time, which is why I don’t generally use this for boneless chicken. I prefer pieces of similar sized chicken to help things from getting over cooked.

Here’s the ingredient list.

8 peaches 2 cups of chili sauce Juice and zest from 3 limes 8-10 scallions, chopped 2 red onions, sliced in ¾ inch slices Olive oil for drizzling Salt and pepper 2 lbs of bone-in, skin-on chicken Metal skewers or wooden skewers soaked in water Pan release spray For starters, put the chicken in a large Ziploc with the olive oil and salt and pepper. Combine well and set aside.

Next, cut all peaches in half and remove the pits. Take 6 of the half peaches and pop them on a sprayed grill on a medium heat with the cut side up and close the lid and cook for 2-3 minutes, maybe a bit more, just enough to soften them up. Transfer them to a blender with the chili sauce and lime juice and pulse to a smooth sauce. The remaining peaches can be placed on a pan, again cut side up. Fill the peach holes with the chopped scallions. Also, on a separate pan, place the thick sliced red onions and drizzle with oil, salt and pepper.

On a medium heat, place the chicken on the grill. (Be careful of the flame considering there is oil on the chicken.)

Close the lid and cook for 6-8 minutes, checking at times to make sure things aren’t burning. Before flipping, baste with the chili peach glaze. Once flipped, baste again, and add the peaches/green onion bowls and the sliced red onions on the grill and close the lid again. Periodically check the fruit and onions, as well as the chicken.

Flip the chicken again and baste again.

I can’t stress enough how important a meat thermometer is, which is another reason I prefer thighs since they are all the same size. Continue to cook chicken until done while basting after every flip. Once done, put the chicken on a platter surrounded by the peaches and red onions, and drizzle all with the remaining sauce and enjoy. This is such a great sauce/glaze. Break out the wet naps and paper towels!

The last recipe on the list this week is done with a whole chicken. It is simple • Chillin’ While Grillin’ Continued on page 27

July 2, 2018 • Chillin’ While Grillin’ Continued from page 25 but takes close to 3 hours to cook, as any whole chicken generally does, but it will be the most super moist and flavorful whole bird you have ever had, and yes, it is cooked on the grill.

I know many who have heard about Beer Can Chicken before and haven’t tried it, and as in many recipes, there are so many variations. This is one darn good chicken.

Here is what you’ll need.

4 lb whole chicken

1 can of beer 2 Tbsp olive oil 2 Tbsp Montreal seasoning 1 tsp chili powder 1 tsp onion powder 1 tsp granulated garlic ½ tsp cayenne pepper As I said, this is incredibly simple to put together. Make sure you pull the giblets and neck from within the bird.

Empty ¼ - ½ of the beer and place the can on a pan. Place the chicken over the can so the can is inserted into the bird.

Position the bird in such a way with

the legs forward to hold the chicken upright. In a bowl, combine the oil and all the spices and mix well. Rub or brush all over the chicken. Transfer the pan outside to the grill area. On a medium-low to low heat, move the bird from the pan to the grill, keeping it in an upright position and cook for 3 hours or so or until it reads an internal temperature of 180 degrees. Always check periodically. Once you rip this bird apart, you will be smiling’ in a big way!

Chicken is not necessarily my

favorite protein, but as a chef, I know it is so versatile and can be prepared in so many ways. The recipe options are endless and regardless of your taste and culinary desires, it is so easy to prepare it in a way to your liking.

Please touch base if you would like a certain recipe or ethnic flavor that makes you smile. I hope these recipes prove to be something you enjoy. Next week, I’ll share some fun steak recipes.

On Stage in Sandwich

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper If you lived in a small New England town in the 1800s or the early 1900s, you had to make your own entertainment. You probably knew everyone in the town, and you were aware of their talents and interests.

Some people were good at growing flowers, some were skilled seamstresses, some painted, some sang, but just about everyone loved a good theatrical performance. The only trouble was, there was not a nearby movie theater showing silent films.

New York City’s Broadway live theater was far, far away.

What to do? The answer: gather a group of friends and family and neighbors and put on a play in your own town. It helped if your village or town had a lot of artistic residents, and that was the scenario in Sandwich, NH. Theater and the arts have long been a part Sandwich, and this summer you can see a fun and fascinating exhibit at the Sandwich Historical Society that encompasses the many years of theater in the town, titled “Sandwich On Stage: A revue of theater through the years.”

The day I visited the Sandwich Historical was the day before the official opening of the exhibit and

Museum and Collections Coordinator Lauren Hansen was putting the finishing touches to the displays… and thinking ahead to that evening’s opening of a play in which she stars called One Slight Hitch, put on by the Sandwich Players.

It seems like many people in the town love theater or take part in productions.

Where else can you find a thriving and talented Shakespearian troupe (Advice To The Players), as well as classical music and folk music and theatrical shows of all kinds? Sandwich welcomes a variety of performances and the Historical Society’s exhibit showcases how that came to be.

“We had a gift of old theater programs and items a few years ago from Steve Barrett, who has been very involved in local theater,” Lauren explains. “I was looking through the donations and thought to myself, ‘We just have to do an exhibit on local theater!’”

She put out a request for locals to loan items from past performances, and enthusiasm grew. The Society got items on loan from the Sandwich Players and Advice To The Players, and private individuals loaned things as well. With so many items donated from locals and groups, the project has

eye nearby, and it advertised a July performance at the Center Sandwich Town Hall as “The First Big Show After Depression.” There is no year listed on the poster, but we can surmise the show took place after the Great Depression, dating it to around the early 1940s. The show was Henry’s Wedding, billed as a Laugh Sensation. Perhaps the residents of Sandwich were sick and tired of penny-pinching and staying home, because the poster also tells us the show had 125 prominent local people in the cast!

Old black-and-white photos accompany the posters and I gazed at faces of local people who dared to dress up in costumes and strut their stuff across a stage to entertain family, friends and neighbors.

Elsewhere in the gallery, I saw some beautiful costumes and a few headpieces/hats and it reminded me of clothing in the Shakespearean era.

Indeed, I wasn’t wrong, because there also is a display of things from the local Shakespeare troupe, Advice To The Players (ATTP).

When I first learned of ATTP a few years ago, I was intrigued… and surprised…that a local group was performing Shakespeare. “Does anyone go to these plays?” I asked myself. “After all, Shakespeare is pretty difficult to understand in our modern day.”

become quite a community endeavor and Lauren says many people are excited about the exhibit.

Entering the gallery space where the exhibit is on display is like taking a wonderful step back to a time when local theater was in its infancy but growing by leaps and bounds in Sandwich. I started my tour where a group of old photos show locals who performed in early theatricals.

On a Tuesday evening, August 18, 1931, a three-act comedy drama titled The Old Dairy Homestead brought entertainment to the town. The poster for the show tells us it was presented in the Town Hall and some of the cast of characters were a traveling tinker, a schemer and ex-convict, a gentleman of leisure-born tired, a farmer, the town constable, a little waif and a dashing widow/adventuress and an old maid.

The cost for admission to the show, which included live music was a mere 75 cents, or 50 cents, depending upon where you wished to be seated.

One of the things I love about exhibits of life long ago is the names and titles, and this exhibit does not disappoint: a poster tells us that Simple Simon Simple was presented on August 18 and 19, 1941, by the Woman’s Society of Christian Service. It was billed as a Domestic Comedy in Three Acts, with some of the interesting characters an inventor, his wife, a maid, an owner of an elite hotel, and two people “just back from the city.”

A pinkish colored poster caught my

July 2, 2018 • Sandwich Continued from page 28 I learned that indeed, the local ATTP is embraced by the town and surrounding area. Their shows - and workshops and children’s summer camps - are well attended. In the exhibit, I read a quote from local Chris Boldt, “When Carolyn and I moved to Sandwich in May 2011, we heard that there was this local Shakespearean Theater Company and thought it would be fun to one day be involved.” The poster goes on to quote Chris as mentioning his interest in the troupe to someone in town and the next thing he knew, he was playing a part in A Midsummer Night’s Dream!

ATTP founder Carolyn Nesbitt is quoted as saying she dreamed of starting a local Shakespearean troupe, and although there was initial skepticism, she put on Othello in 1999 in Sandwich. She used many local kids in the show, as well as enlisting the help of Bob Bates and Jean Brown.”

(Bates had a great deal of theatrical experience.)

If you want to get a glimpse at the small-town charm and make-do attitude of local theater troupes, just read what ATTP Mark Woollett is quoted as saying, “I loved the old days when there was no back to the stage. At the end of the first half of Love’s Labor’s Lost…we exited upstage center and jumped off the back of the stage all the way down to the grass below.”

Beautiful costumes from some of ATTP’s performances are on display in the exhibit and how people dressed in Shakespeare’s time.

Elsewhere in the exhibit, we learn of more local theatrical groups, such as the Community Players, who presented The Mikado in two locations: at the Center Sandwich Town Hall and at Staffords-in-the-Field in Chocorua.

A charming lamp shade is on display, hand made by Louisa Miner and illustrated by Bob Miner. The design depicts local Bob Bates playing the

piano for various performances. The shade was a birthday gift to Bates in 1958.

“Bob Bates was a huge driving force in local theater from the 1950s to 1990s,” says Lauren. “He was a musician and he directed many plays in Sandwich.”

Moving forward through the exhibit, we see lots of old posters, programs and cards from such groups as the Sandwich Players. Certainly, residents must have had a lot of fun performing in, and attending, shows such as The Pirates of Penzance and Night Must Fall. In 1980, a brother and sister team, Stuart Heard and Tommy Dustin, won a medal and crown (which are on display) for best dancers in a contest during the Club Sandwich event in 1980. (Club Sandwich was a fundraising event sponsored by The Sandwich Players to raise money for a renovation of the Town Hall.)

One section of the exhibit of which Lauren is very proud is a mini movie area, with a small group of theater seats and a curtained movie screen. Those who come to see the exhibit can sit and watch some local plays that were videotaped in the past. Each week a new show will be playing from those videotaped in the past by ATTP and the Sandwich Players.

As well as the theatrical exhibit, the Sandwich Historical Society is also featuring an exhibit on well-known Sandwich resident Alfred Quimby.

He was born in Sandwich and left a bequest to the town and this year is the 100th anniversary of the gift.

As Lauren put the finishing touches on the exhibit, which was to open that weekend, she was probably also thinking of her lines for her lead role in that evening’s performance at The Sandwich Players. I was reminded of all those area residents who came before Lauren; people who worked as teachers and clerks and farmers and at other jobs. They worked by day, but on a few special days and evenings each

year, they put on costumes, applied makeup, and danced, sang, entertained in dramas and comedies and musicals and mysteries, and even in local Shakespeare productions.

It’s good to know Sandwich locals are still, today, stepping “On Stage” and entertaining in the area.

The Historical Society also features tours of the Elisha Marston House

and Barn, the Quimby Transportation Museum, the Grange Hall and the Lower Corner School House.

For information about the exhibit at the Sandwich Historical Society, visit www.sandwichhistorical.org or call 603-284-6269. The Society museum is open Wednesday through Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm through September 29. Admission is free.

Outdoor Adventure Abounds at Prescott Farm

By Rosalie Triolo Photos by Tony Triolo An Environmental Education Center, Prescott Farm is dedicated to educating and acquainting students of all ages with nature and their surrounding environments.

Not far from Weirs Beach, Prescott Farm is located on White Oaks Road in Laconia.

Following the Prescott Farm Trail Map, you can explore the 160 acres of forests, fields and ponds on the three-plus miles of trails. Walking up a short path from the Samuel P. Pardoe Building, you find yourself on the Yellow Forest Trail. A wooden “Welcome” sign hangs between two trees, inviting you into The Natural Playscape area. Kids will love the charming playground in the woods, where you will see larger-than-life wood carvings of an owl and a baby black bear.

The Forest Kitchen is complete with an outdoor kitchen of sink,

A wooden path leads to Camille’s Treehouse Cottage where you sit within the arms of the trees and imagine all sorts treehouse adventures. The Nature Loom resembles a genuine loom, only vertical with strings attached to a top board running down and attached to

a bottom board. Twigs are woven between the strings, giving the appearance of a loom.

Leaving the Natural Playscape area, continue down the Yellow Trail, to the gardens and barn. The gardening program is kept in good shape by volunteers who weed and trim plants with the help of Andie Hession, Prescott Farm’s Resident Naturalist and Environmental Educator. A smaller raised garden area is set aside for children “Fledgings” to plant flowers and vegetables.

New to the Center this year are the Prescott Farm Chickens. A red chicken coop has been constructed to house the little guests. This program is a fun way of teaching and learning how to raise and care for chickens.

Upon leaving the gardens and barn, you may want to stroll down the Red Trail, the “Sugar Trail.” This trail takes you to the Sugarhouse where in early spring, the sugarhouse comes alive with activity. This informational program invites school groups as well as other groups to show how sap is collected and boiled down to make the syrup you enjoy on many foods, especially pancakes and waffles. (It takes 40 gallons of sap boiled down to make one gallon of syrup!)

July 2, 2018 At Prescott Farm, most of the maples are tapped “the old-fashioned way” with buckets attached to the trees to collect the sap. Fewer trees at the farm are tapped with the newer method of running plastic piping from one tree to the next so it flows into one central container.

These two different methods are demonstrated to acquaint you with “the old-fashioned way” which means a workman will have to go from tree to tree and collect the sap from each bucket, or the new way.

From the Sugar Trail you can wind your way down the Scat Ridge Trail (Silver Trail) to Alan’s Overlook.

While on the trail you may want to take along a pair of binoculars to see if you can find any traces of animals or animal droppings.

From the Overlook you can follow The Pond Loop Trail (Blue Trail) which will take you back to the Samuel P. Pardoe Building.

Prescott Farms also offers handson-education striving to introduce and teach from the very young to teenagers to adults the wonders of the world surrounding them, by making significant connections to nature, food, gardening and New Hampshire crafts and customs.

There are year-round programs for all ages.

Sarah Dunham, Director of Educational Programs at Prescott Farms, explained the “Naturalist in the Classroom Program,” which began 14 years ago in 2004 in the Gilmanton Elementary School, followed by Belmont Elementary School in 2005 and 10 years later, Inter-Lakes Elementary School in 2015. The Naturalist in the Classroom conducts a hands-on program which combines nature,

Fairy House Play Area

social studies, history, archaeology and science coordinated with the schools, teachers and naturalists.

Sarah told the story of a fourth-grade boy who was not paying attention in the classroom. She took the fourth graders out onto a trail behind their school where she taught them about the Native Americans who once walked the same trails the class was walking. The boy was so fascinated, he asked if he could go out every day and learn.

Sarah also talked about the Inter-Lakes school, which has a greenhouse for all grades to share and use to grow crops especially the 3 Native American-Sisters Crops – Corn, Beans and Squash which serve each other with their own specific purpose. Corn provides a structure for the beans to grow.

Squash leaves shade the ground and keeps moisture in the soil. Beans are nitrogen fixers. They take nitrogen from the air and make it available to the soil.

to seniors and they come from various backgrounds. Many are music teachers, while others are doctors, business people, technical professionals and retirees. Some are still students. Band members come from towns throughout the area.

The Windham Concert Band plays a repertoire of music that most will find familiar, including Broadway musicals, popular medleys, swing, jazz, marches and other favorites.

The Windham Concert Band director is Spencer Aston, an accomplished trumpet player, soloist, conductor, clinician and teacher. He holds faculty positions at Bridgewater State, UMassBoston and the Powers School of Music. The assistant director is Rob Scagnelli, who is the district director of music for the Hudson School District and the director of bands at Alvirne High School.

The Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand is a non-profit

group that sponsors free concerts in Cate Park each Saturday throughout July and August. The group is always looking for a wide variety of musical styles to fill the Saturday night series and the opening week of the series brings the sounds of traditional concert bands.

The concerts run from 7 to 9 pm in Cate Park in downtown Wolfeboro.

Although there is no charge for the concerts, a pass-the-hat offering is taken at intermission to help support the Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand’s mission to bring quality acts to Wolfeboro every summer.

The Windham Concert band will play weather permitting. If rain is a real threat, the concert will be cancelled and there will be a sign at the entrance to the park near the town docks announcing the decision as well as a notice on the Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand’s Facebook page.

21st Annual Jewish Food Festival on Sunday, July 8 The event to attend this summer is the 21st Annual Jewish Food Festival at Temple B’nai Israel (TBI) in Laconia on Sunday, July 8, from 11 am to 2 pm.

People will be coming together from all over New Hampshire and beyond to enjoy the tastes and smells from the kitchens of Jewish mothers and Bubbes (grandmothers) through the ages…from traditional Jewish cooking to delicatessen delights to amazing desserts and more.

In addition to the tasty array of homemade products, the Food Festival features corned beef, pastrami and tongue “imported” from Evan’s Deli in Marblehead, Massachusetts. Evan cooks meats in the deli kitchen and food critics and patrons alike declare, “This meat is out of this world.”

Treat yourself and your family to a fresh Evan’s Deli meat sandwich or any of the other homemade Jewish delicacies, including deli meats or TBI’s homemade beef brisket with pickle and coleslaw on rye or roll, knishes (meat and potato), blintzes, chopped herring, and chopped chicken liver.

Available for takeout, all frozen and ready to heat at home - while supplies last - deli meats and brisket, matzo ball soup, potato latkes, noodle kugel, stuffed cabbage, rugelach and strudel.

And don’t forget the half sour pickles as well as the fabulous assortment of homemade desserts.

The Jewish Food Festival in Laconia ranks with the best due to TBI’s talented cooking crew of women and men who have been gathering before Festival Day for planning and recipe selection as well as participating in dozens of cooking and baking sessions in the

Temple kitchen.

Per Committee Chair Stu Needleman, “Our cooking teams have prepared hundreds of servings of the most delectable foods. We have purchased, cooked and hand-sliced nearly 200 pounds of everyone’s favorite meats and baked dozens of varieties of cakes, cookies and other deserts. But no matter how much we have, everything goes quickly. So, don’t be late and risk having your favorite item sold out!”

Food Festival attendees from years’ past attest to the great food and festive atmosphere and say: “This is the best day of the year. This is an epic annual event in Laconia; a valuable cultural event for our community.”

“Absolutely incredible! Our first time here, but not our last! Wonderful people!”

“The highlight of our weekend. We were warmly welcomed, greeted and cared for.”

Fabulous Looks Boutique

“We’ll be back next year with our friends!”

However, this Festival is about more than food. You will find many assorted treasures at the Nearly New Boutique on the front lawn, as well as new Judaica items, inside. Attendees meet old and new friends from the

community at large, both Jewish Food connoisseurs and rookies.

The Jewish Food Festival takes place under the tent on July 8 at Temple B’nai Israel at 210 Court Street in Laconia, rain or shine. For more information, visit www.tbinh.org. Questions should be directed to foodfestival@tbinh.org.

Robert J. O’Brien, an award-winning watercolorist, will be teaching a class at Sandwich Home Industries.

Watercolor Workshop with renowned Artist Robert J. O’Brien Have you always wanted to learn more about painting with watercolors? The Sandwich Home Industries, the fine crafts gallery of Center Sandwich, NH has just the event for you. Robert J. O’Brien, an award winning artist and popular workshop instructor, will be teaching a one-day watercolor workshop at the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen Gallery in Sandwich. The one-day Watercolor Landscape Workshop will be held on July 18 from 10 am to 4 pm. The class covers glazing techniques, value study, composition, light and shadow, and drybrush technique.

Robert O’Brien has been painting in the watercolor medium for over 40 years. Since moving to Vermont in 1977, he has focused his work on landscape and architectural studies.

Vermont, with its distinct fourseason climate, provides the artist with a wealth of subject matter and ever changing light effects. He finds beauty in the ordinary, subtle reminders of everyday life in rural New England. In his own words, he is driven “to capture the vanishing landscape in my paintings” before they disappear forever as a result of the steady hand of “progress”.

Since 1998, Robert O’Brien has traveled often to Southern France. The region’s sun-splashed landscape and timeless quality of

light has added a new dimension to the artist’s paintings.

Robert O’Brien is a signature member of the American, National, and New England Watercolor Societies. He has won many awards in shows and has been featured in Watercolor Artist Magazine in 2015, as well as l’Art de l’Aquarelle in 2011. Most recently he won the Silver Medal at the 2016 New England Watercolor Society Juried Members Exhibition in Boston.

This class is one of over 20 craft workshops Sandwich Home Industries has scheduled this season for children, teens and adults. Subjects also include jewelry-making, fly-tying, sound/ art composition, glass working, weaving, chair caning, and more.

To find out more, go to www. centersandwich.nhcrafts.org.

A founding member of the League of NH Craftsmen, Sandwich Home Industries is located at 32 Main Street, in the historic village of Center Sandwich.

To register for classes, contact sandwichcraftgallery@gmail. com or call 603-284-6831. See a complete list of class descriptions at www.centersandwich.nhcrafts. org. The gallery, representing over 170 juried craftsmen, is open daily during the summer/fall season.

Family Scavenger/Discovery Walk on Cotton Valley Rail Trail On Thursday, July 19, Moose Mountains Regional Greenways (MMRG) will offer a Family Scavenger/Discovery Walk as part of MMRG’s program of nature-oriented activities to engage kids, called ‘MOOSE-ies for Families.’

This exploration activity is meant to encourage children’s sense of wonder and curiosity about the natural world.

The walk will be followed by a picnic supper and sharing time, facilitated by MMRG staff and volunteers. The event will take place from 5:30 to 7 pm on a short section of the Cotton Valley Rail Trail in Wolfeboro.

Anticipating the upcoming event, MMRG Education Coordinator Kari Lygren was enthusiastic. “We have had so much fun at all our events so far, and we’re really looking forward to this Scavenger/Discovery Walk! As part of the activity, we’ll suggest that families pause and listen carefully to the sounds of nature at different spots along the Rail Trail. What do you hear? Any bird or insect sounds? We’ll also make a few suggestions of things to look for.

Do you see something purple? Can you find something that looks like the letter ‘Z’? I bet the kids will amaze us with all that they discover.”

Lygren elaborated on the Cotton Valley Rail Trail location. “MMRG supported the construction of the Rail Trail early on so when we were looking for a place to do a ‘MOOSE-ies for Families’ activity in Wolfeboro, it was natural for us to choose this spot. The Rail Trail provides wonderful recreational opportunities; we are lucky to have it in our region.” (For more information on the Cotton Valley Rail Trail, visit cottonvalleyrailtrail.org.)

Children of all ages are welcome

For more information, directions, and to pre-register, call Kari Lygren at 603-978-7125 or email info@mmrg.info.

‘MOOSE-ies for Families’ stands for Members Only Outdoor and Social Events for Families and the program of six ‘MOOSE-ies for Families’ activities per year is a benefit for MMRG members. Its purpose is to create opportunities for families to have fun together outdoors while learning about nature, in order to foster future generations of conservationists. Other 2018 upcoming events include the 16th An-

Stetson Hats Maple Syrup & Candy Saddle Bags

nual Woods, Water & Wildlife Festival on August 11, a ‘Family Moonlight Walk’ on September 22 in Farmington and a Family Bonfire Storytime at McKenzie’s Farm in Milton in October. If MMRG’s $25 per household per year membership fee is a financial burden, families may inquire of Executive Director Patti Connaughton-Burns about available scholarships by calling 603-473-2020.

Golf and comedy meet on Village Players stage this summer Summer means comedy at the Village Players Theater in Wolfeboro, and this year is no exception, as the 40th anniversary of the theater continues

with the summer production, Ken Ludwig’s The Fox on the Fairway which opens on

July 27.

Ludwig’s work is likely familiar to Village Players regulars, as he penned some of the classic comedies the theater group has performed, including Moon Over Buffalo, Lend Me a Tenor and Leading Ladies.

This time, Ludwig turns his attention to golf and the comedy that comes with the sport. He wrote the show as a tribute to the great English farces that flowered in the 1920s, 30s and 40s. The Fox on the Fairway premiered in 2010 and The Village Players are looking forward to bringing the show to Lakes Region audiences in July and August.

The show takes place at Quail Valley Country Club, where members are preparing to take on members of the Crouching Squirrel Country Club in the annual inter-club tournament. As it turns out, there is a big wager on this year’s tournament and everyone has a stake in the results.

As the show begins, audiences meet Justin Hicks, played by Village Players veteran Paul Stewart, who has just been hired as an assistant to Henry Bingham, played by fellow VP veteran Bob Rautenberg. Bingham is the Director of the Quail Valley Country Club and has placed a big wager on his team to beat the rivals, only to find out his star player may not be able to help

The cast of Ken Ludwig’s The Fox on the Fairway includes (sitting, l to r), Russ Ellis (Dickie Bell), Paul Stewart (Justin Hicks), Emily Marsh (Louise Heindbedder) and Michaela Andruzzi (Muriel Bingham) and (back row, l to r), Bob Rautenberg (Henry Bingham) and Joyce Wood (Pamela Peabody). The show opens on July 27 at the Village Players Theater.

him much.

Complicating things is Justin’s girlfriend, Louise Heindbedder, played by yet another veteran Village Player, Emily Marsh. Louise is a waitress at the club and the couple takes center stage as they face unusual circumstances in typical farce action.

Dickie Bell, played by another veteran of the Village Players stage, Russ Ellis, is the director of Crouching Squirrel Country Club and his bet with Bingham is at the center of the drama, while Pamela Peabody, portrayed by VP veteran Joyce Wood, offers up her assistance in keeping the match moving forward as planned, but finds herself involved in a few complications that bring comedy throughout the show.

Rounding out the cast is Muriel Bingham, played by Michaela

Andruzzi, the rookie amongst the cast. Muriel, an overbearing and stern woman, is married to Henry but seems to have a soft spot in her heart for Dickie.

The Fox on the Fairway is directed

by Bob Tuttle, who made his directing debut with last spring’s Biloxi Blues.

He is assisted by Chelsea Stewart, while Joshua Spaulding is serving as producer.

The show is sponsored in part by Dr. Richard J. Neal, DMD. Ken Ludwig’s The Fox on the Fairway is set to open with 8 pm productions on Friday, July 27, Saturday, July 28, Friday, Aug. 3, and Saturday, Aug. 4, and a 2 pm matinee on Sunday, Aug. 5.

Tickets are available at Black’s Paper and Gifts in downtown Wolfeboro or online at village-players.com.

The Village Players Theater is located at 51 Glendon St. in downtown Wolfeboro.

Bernard, the protagonist of Boeing Boeing, which is playing at the Winnipesaukee Playhouse in Meredith, relies on the precise scheduling of airline departures and arrivals to prevent all three of his flight attendant fiancés from crossing paths in their single Paris flat. He brags that it is the perfect arrangement, until Boeing introduces a newer, faster, jet.

Schedules tighten up, and Bernard has to struggle to keep a little turbulence from turning into a tailspin.

Director Samantha Tella says that, “This play has been on my bucket list since the revival on Broadway 10 years ago. My mother was a flight attendant for over 50 years, and the open skies played a big role in our relationship, though growing up I rarely felt the actual physical distance from her.”

Victor Borge once said, “Laughter is the closest distance between two people.” To bridge that distance, sometimes you need a good laugh, and sometimes you need a gut-busting laugh. Boeing Boeing effortlessly delivers the latter! Farce does not allow the actors to go on autopilot. Quite the opposite. Farce is one of the purest forms of live theatre. With tight choreography, characters sprinting on and off the stage, the audience is constantly reminded that anything can go wrong at any moment.

Farce is tough, and everyone in the production has to work extremely hard to pull it off, and when they do, it is thrilling.

In honor of the fun, sexy, farce that is Boeing Boeing, the Winnipesaukee Playhouse is also conducting a bra drive. For every new or gently used bra brought to the box office during the run of Boeing Boeing, the Playhouse will donate two tickets and the bra to organizations throughout the community supporting women in crisis.

Boeing Boeing, written by Marc Camoletti and translated by Beverly Cross and Francis Evans, runs through Saturday, July 7.

Tickets are available over the phone at 603-279-0333 or online at www.winnipesaukeeplayhouse. org. Show times are Monday through Saturdays at 7:30 pm; matinees at 2 pm on July 2. There will be no Sunday performances and no performance on July 4th.

Additional free events supporting Boeing Boeing include a post-show talkback on Tuesday, July 3, and pre-show symposium, on Thursday, July 5.

Special appreciation and thanks to Summer Season Sponsor: Bank of New Hampshire and Production Sponsors: The Gilford Home Center, Mill Falls Inn and Marketplace and Bruno Coppola at Caldwell Banker.

The Winnipesaukee Playhouse, a year-round theatre, is a 501(c)3 organization supported in part by the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts, New Hampshire Charitable Foundation, the Shubert Foundation, the Steinwachs Family Foundation, and by contributions from members of this community.

Back Bay Clothing Opens in Fresh New Space Owner Michele Snowdon glances around Back Bay Clothing’s new space at 27 South Main Street in Wolfeboro and smiles. The space is inviting with plenty of natural light, a freshly finished wood floor, two adorable fitting rooms, and racks and walls of the latest from Patagonia, G.H. Bass, Ray Ban, Lee and Hanes.

“We’re ready,” she says. “With help from the community, we came through the storm.”

It’s been a full half-year. First there was the flood in her old space next to “Stay Tuned” just up the street. “A pipe broke when water froze in Mountain Tops just above my store,” she says.

The beautiful original tin ceiling came down, and thousands of dollars’ worth of merchandise was ruined as gallons of water poured through the place she had put her heart into for four years.

Back Bay Clothing was a dream years in the making, and to see it a sopping wet mess in the grayest season of the year was disheartening and possibly even devastating. Could repairs be made before the busy season? How could she possibly prepare for summer if she couldn’t even get back into the space for months? Was years of work and careful preparation all gone?

The idea for the store was born at NAPA Auto Parts on Bay Street almost a half decade earlier. It’s a store Michele’s husband Rick owned. In a town where retail had become increasingly specialized, his customers had a tough time finding what they needed to wear to work every day: jeans and Carhartts at affordable prices. Couldn’t he just carry some at NAPA? they asked. “Rick just didn’t have the room,” Michele says. “He kept telling me I should open a store.”

With a background in retail and a degree in Business Management,

Michele heard what Rick was saying but didn’t want to jump in too fast.

She knew she should research her market and line up supports, so for several years, she tweaked the idea and gathered information. Finally, three and a half years ago, she took a deep breath and contacted Wentworth Economic Development Corporation (WEDCO) to meet with one their business advisors from SCORE. He helped walk her through the formation of a business plan; she took several of the online webinars offered, and soon approached WEDCO’s Executive Director with a loan application.

“It was so fast,” Michele says.

“People kept telling me how long it would take, but in two and a half weeks, I had my loan,” and by fall 2014 she opened the only store in Wolfeboro to carry everything a man could need from Hanes to ties, socks to flannels, collared shirts and casual wear.

It wasn’t long, though, before Michele realized that although it was the men who needed the items, it was predominantly women who did the shopping, so she brought in lines for women, too: sundresses, jackets, shrugs, fit-yourfigure jeans, accessories, and—new this year—a line of pajamas perfect for lake nights: cozy seersucker baby dolls with warm long tops.

When you look at Michele, you know she loves her job. Impeccably but casually dressed, she exudes a comfortable confidence that spills into her merchandise. Surrounded by lovely things, she is determined for her customers to always see something new. She only buys a dozen or two dozen of any style. “I like to change it up,” she says.

“Even in the off months, I don’t want people coming in and seeing the same old things every time.”

Back Bay Clothing’s transition from its old storefront to its new is one that

Bay Clothing and the whole town, and it’s one WEDCO wants to help repeat throughout the region. Says Denise Roy-Palmer, “The sole mission of WEDCO is to support and increase the economic vitality of our 11 towns.

Sometimes that means offering training and business support. Other times it means helping grass roots initiatives come to life. And in this case, it was giving advice and loans. I can’t tell you the pleasure I get when I see our region thrive by working together.”

Celebrating 25 years in 2018, WEDCO is a private nonprofit 501c(3) regional economic development corporation that serves businesses of all sizes in the New Hampshire towns that include Wolfeboro, Brookfield, Effingham, Farmington, Middleton, Milton, Moultonborough, New Durham, Sandwich, Tuftonboro, and Wakefield.

Contact Denise Roy-Palmer at 603569-4216, drp@WEDCO-NH.org or visit www.WEDCO-NH.org to learn more.

makes Denise Roy-Palmer, Executive Director of WEDCO, smile appreciatively, too. It’s a story of businesses pitching in together to support one another for the good of all. One day after the flood, when Michele was getting her morning coffee at Seven Suns, Sally Hunter of Butternuts Fine Dishes told her, “You need to go talk to Diane (Mullen from Winni Paw Station pet store.)” Winni Paw was just moving from its store at 27 South Main Street to take over a new space next to Cate Park. Wouldn’t 27 South Main be perfect for Back Bay Clothing? Michele wouldn’t need to wait for repairs and could get right in to make it her own.

But what about Michele’s lease at her old shop? Michele smiles again, “Mary Beth and Tom (Bryant of Made On Earth and Stay Tuned) were so gracious. They released me from my lease right away. I think they were as excited for me as I was for the move.”

It’s a gratifying story for Back

Gail Elliott Downs to present “The Black Suitcase Mystery” at the Wright Museum Gail Elliott Downs will present and sign the book, “The Black Suitcase Mystery: A World War II Remembrance,” on Tuesday, July 3 from 7 to 8 pm, as part of the Wright Museum of World War II’s Lecture Series.

In 1991, Downs, a now-retired teacher with 37 years of experience, acquired a black suitcase that contained more than 200 letters that provided firsthand accounts of missions flown by George Elliott Rich, a New Hampshire resident who was a B-24 Liberator crewmember in WWII. Downs and her class uncovered the mystery behind the suitcase and its letters, an undertaking the educator chronicles in her book.

“Twenty-five years ago, I lived the events that are chronicled in ‘The Black Suitcase Mystery,’ said Downs. “I saw how the life of one New Hampshire World War II hero impacted hundreds

of students, veterans and communities.

I am thrilled to be speaking at the Wright Museum on the eve of America’s birthday.”

Rich began writing the letters when he was just eight years old, after his mother contracted tuberculosis.

His mother saved all his letters. He continued to write to her through the years, and his wife later began writing after Rich joined the military. On his 50th mission on a B-24 bomber, Rich was killed over Nazi-occupied Poland.

Had the mission been a success, Rich would have been able to return home to the United States. “’’The Black Suitcase Mystery’ is a great story about how creative teachers can make history both relevant and interesting to today’s students,” said Michael Culver, executive director of the Wright Museum. “American history is the thread that runs through the lives

Stumbling Upon History…Old NH Cemeteries

By Kathi Hopper Photos by Karey Caldwell Imagine this: you are out for a walk on a nice summer or fall day. You decide to take a path you have never taken, or maybe you choose to walk a field or wooded area on your property you have not explored previously. You are just looking to get some exercise and be outside on a nice day.

Then suddenly, you stumble upon it: an old stone wall. You shrug, knowing New Hampshire has many walls that date back for hundreds of years. But then you see a stone peeking through the bushes near the wall and you realize that it is a headstone. Could this be an old graveyard? You explore further and see that the stone wall encompasses a bigger area than you thought and that yes, amid the brambles and grass, there are a number of gravestones. You have accidentally come across an old graveyard on your property or near a path or trail.

Perhaps that sounds far-fetched to you. There aren’t any old graveyards in the woods, right? All the cemeteries are documented and cared for by whatever town they may happen to be in, correct?

If you asked Sanbornton, New Hampshire resident Karey Caldwell,

she would tell you that there are many old cemeteries on private property and it isn’t out of the realm of possibility to find one if you are hiking.

Karey should know, because she has a cemetery on her property; if the previous land owners had not told her about the cemetery she would have not discovered it until she had the time to walk her three-acre property.

“We were signing the papers when I bought the property, and the previous owners told me there was an old cemetery at the back portion of the land. Although some people might be turned off by knowing there was a cemetery on their land, I thought it was cool.”

For the next few years Karey was busy building her home, and she had little time to take leisurely walks over her land, although she had a general idea where the cemetery, called the Chapel-Chapman Graveyard, was located.

“It took me a few years to have the time to locate the cemetery, because it was very overgrown with bushes,” she recalls. “It is on a hill at the back of my property and it was pretty hard to tell how many gravestones were there because the bushes had completely taken over.”

A quick visual assessment led Karey to assume there were about 12 gravestones, but she was later surprised to discover a total of 48 graves in the Chapel Chapman Cemetery. How does she know? Because she took it upon herself to totally clean up and clear the cemetery of debris and overgrowth, returning the final resting place of 48 souls to its former tidy appearance.

“The earliest grave is of a little boy who passed away at just two years of age,” she says. You can hear the compassion in her voice as she speaks of the child who died so young in the 1800s.

Karey has been interested in genealogy for years and she says it led to searching old cemeteries to verify dates and names while researching her family history. But long before that,

she had a different take on cemeteries than many people, and she credits that attitude to her parents.

“I think it goes back to an old Memorial Day tradition of my parents.

I grew up in Bristol, New Hampshire and every May we would go to all the family graves and put flowers on each one. My parents would always clean up any fallen branches or leaves around the graves and we were told it was a way to show respect for our ancestors.

I saw it as a good thing to do, and a way to show we cared.”

While her parents tended to the graves of family and friends, Karey and her siblings would walk around and read the names of the stones. “It became a pastime to see who could • Cemeteries Continued on pages 46

• Cemeteries Continued from page 45 find the oldest date on a gravestone.

Then it was who could find the most unique name.”

As Karey got older and began to do family genealogy, she was comfortable with being at old cemeteries, and knew that those places held the key to locating when someone was born and died. It greatly aided her search to find relatives from long ago.

This led to an interest in the Find a Grave website, a place where those doing genealogy can get information from graveyards. If the person doing genealogy research lives far away, they may ask a member of Find a Grave who lives near the cemetery to visit and take photos of the headstones.

Karey got involved and to date, she has documented more than 20 old cemeteries in New Hampshire for Find a Grave. Also, she has found and documented hundreds of graves, which means taking headstone photos and gathering information about the person buried there.

In her research work for others, which has become a rather passionate hobby, Karey says the oldest cemetery she has visited is in Andover, New Hampshire. The Old Center Cemetery dates to the early 1700s and that is certainly memorable.

It is likely many older cemeteries have unmarked graves because the family could not afford a headstone.

“At times during my Find a Grave research, I have learned of a grave without a headstone. Cemetery records might also show a spot where someone

is buried. I keep some plastic flowers and American flags in my car so I can put flowers on the unmarked grave and if the person was a veteran, I place a flag there. After that, I take a photo of the grave for the family.”

She also adds that now and then, a large rock in a wooded area may mark the final resting place of a person from long ago. In the past, people buried deceased family members on their land, especially if they lived far away from a cemetery or had no money for a burial and headstone.

Sanbornton is a good example of a New England town with a number of cemeteries that have never been located in our modern day. “They likely existed but are long gone because they are in pastures or on farms or in the woods,” Karey explains.

As for her own property’s cemetery, Karey approached the person whose land abutted hers to make sure they were okay with her clearing the cemetery of brush. There also were some fallen trees and the adjacent property owner sent a few maintenance workers to help move the large trees from the cemetery.

Karey also went to the town of Sanbornton to get their nod of approval to proceed.

“It was a much bigger job than I anticipated,” she recalls with a laugh.

“We got into some poison ivy during the project, and it was hard work weed whacking and removing debris and moving earth around to level out graves that had begun to sink in a bit. Always in my mind was to be respectful of the people buried there.”

It seems baffling that a cemetery with

48 graves could be untended for so long, virtually abandoned. Says Karey, “I did research on the graves and it seems every person buried there owned my property at one time in the past. I think families died off or their descendants got older and could not physically get there to care for the cemetery or they may have moved out of the area.

Maintenance probably got away from them, which is understandable.”

As well as clearing the cemetery of brush and debris, Karey made note of the people buried there and made sure the headstones were upright. Once the area was cleared and sunlight could get into the area, it was an entirely different place.

Karey also shares this little-known fact when trying to figure out who owns a cemetery on private land. It isn’t an easy question to answer, but usually the descendants of the deceased own the cemetery or at least the plot/final resting place of their ancestor. If you can prove ancestry, you can clean up the cemetery.

Before she began to clear the cemetery on her land, Karey did some research.

“As it turns out, there is a person in my cemetery that was a distant relative.

That person’s mother was Sarah Fogg, and she lived in the 1700s and she is a distant relative of mine. That gave me a family link and the go-ahead to clean up the cemetery.”

Due to her years of genealogy and cemetery documentation, Karey recently ran for public office in the town of Sanbornton. She was elected in March of 2018 and now serves as a town cemetery trustee.

She relays that at a town gathering this year, she was approached by a Sanbornton resident who shared that she was out walking and came upon an old graveyard. Karey was excited and did some research and indeed, people once lived in that area, so there being a graveyard at the location is not so unusual.

Karey says if you are careful, it is ok to take some photos if you come upon an old cemetery. “We have to try to document these old cemeteries before they are lost to us,” she says.

If it seems odd for a cemetery to become “lost”, if you stop to think of the passage of time and our mobile society, it stands to reason, as the years go by, we can lose touch with where our ancestors are buried.

Keeping track of such things is a good tool for those around the world who are tracking down relatives and doing genealogy.

The next time you take a hike in the woods or walk across an old farm property or field, you probably will not find an old cemetery or a cluster of gravestones. But if you do, stop and take a few photos. Read the names and dates on the stones and say a silent greeting.

As Karey says, “It may sound silly, but with every cemetery I go in, I have a little ritual. I say out loud to those buried there. ‘I come to honor you. I come in peace.’”
