A Wild Ride When the Northeast Six Shooters Come to Gilford

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper If you’ve watched an old western cowboy movie or television show, you likely saw John Wayne or Marshall Dillon (on television’s Gunsmoke) riding after the bad guys. They had to bring the villain to justice and that meant a rootin’, tootin’ wild horseback ride.

Riding a horse while shooting a gun isn’t the easiest thing to accomplish, but that is what the Northeast Six Shooters do at events. There is no doubt these events thrill spectators.

The Six Shooters will be coming to the Lakes Region Riding Academy in Gilford for a show on August 13 and 14. The public is welcome to come out and see the group riding during the weekend. The two-day match, with six stages on Saturday, August 13 will begin at 10 am. Specialty classes (calvary, rifle and shotgun) will follow on Sunday, August 14 starting at 9 am.

There also will be a three-stage match on Sunday.

“The Northeast Six Shooters have about 70 members,” explains Jennifer Roy, a member of the club. (Jennifer was club secretary from 2009 to 2021.)

The organization is family oriented, and promotes cowboy heritage through camaraderie, while focusing on safety, friends, and fun.

Jennifer says of her own riding experience, “Aside from a little riding as a girl, I didn’t start riding seriously until I was about 40 years old, nearly 20 years ago. I started mounted shooting 14 years ago.

“I started at a local clinic which in-

Courtesy Jim Mertz of Suddenly Still Photography troduced the basics, and I have continued to learn through practice, clinics, and lessons. The Northeast Six Shooters hold at least one beginner’s clinic every spring. We introduce the riders and their horses to the sport at these clinics, going over safety, rules, and techniques. The horses have a chance to hear the gunfire from a distance and learn from trained horses that there is nothing to be afraid of.”

So just what is Cowboy Mounted Shooting? Jennifer says, “It is a western equestrian speed sport. Competitors

shoot balloon targets from horseback in an arena, testing their speed, accuracy, and control. We use real .45 caliber single-action revolvers and fire custom black powder blank ammunition that will pop a balloon from 10 to 20 feet away. There is no bullet, just the sparks and embers from the burning powder.

Everyone takes a turn riding the same four to six courses throughout the day.

Riders are ranked by levels, 1-6, based on their experience, moving up the levels by winning against their peers.

“The courses have 10 targets, re-

quiring a gun change halfway through.

There are over 60 sanctioned courses, from which each day’s set are randomly selected. Riders are scored on their time, usually 15-30 seconds, plus time penalties for missing a target or a course element. Fastest time wins, with riders being scored overall and within their individual levels.”

It is a thrilling sight to see the participants as they ride, and something that obviously takes a high level of skill and practice. All that skill will be on display when the group performs at the Lakes Region Riding Academy event in August. Spectators will see riders of all abilities, from beginners to experts.

For each course, a rider takes a turn.

Says Jennifer, “It is exciting to see the different skill levels and how fast the expert riders can go. Riders are dressed in traditional western wear. Some wear 19th-century outfits for a reenactment feeling, including women in long skirts.”

There is an announcer and music to keep the audience and competitors engaged. Inside the arena, the Range Master will signal each rider when it is safe to engage the course. In between riders, “balloon runners” - usually local barn kids - exchange empty balloon sticks for ones with new targets.

Jennifer says it isn’t as difficult as it looks, but still, you must be a good horseback rider. “The basic concepts are not hard to learn. Ride from balloon to balloon and shoot each one.

NH Boat Museum to Host 45th Annual Alton Bay Boat Show On Saturday, August 13 from 9:00 a.m. to 12 noon, the New Hampshire Boat Museum (NHBM) will host the 45th annual Alton Bay Boat Show at the Alton Town Docks. The popular event, which draws visitors from across New England, features antique wooden or early classic fiberglass boats up to 1975.

“This is an opportunity to see vintage boats you rarely see up close,” said NHBM Executive Director Martha Cummings.

Docking is first-come, first-served, as pre-registration is not required. Spectators are also encouraged to attend and vote for their favorite boat.

“Votes decide first, second, and third place, so the show is fun for spectators of any age,” added Cummings. “The boats that show up at the show are classics, and there are always surprises.”

Part of Alton’s Old Home Day festivities, NHBM’s 45th Annual Alton Bay Boat Show is sponsored by Gilford Home Center, GWM Finish Carpentry, Naswa, and Tiki Hut Boats of NH. Founded in 1992 by antique and classic boating enthusiasts, NHBM is committed to inspire people of all ages with an understanding of, and appreciation for, the boating heritage of New Hampshire’s fresh waterways. To learn more about NHBM, or the show, visit nhbm.org.

• Wild Ride continued from page 3 You can ride at whatever pace you and your horse are comfortable with, even a trot or a walk. There is a certain thrill in seeing your target pop when you hit it! The target shooting is simplified because the blanks emit a spray of sparks and produce minimal recoil. Adding motion, speed, and turns on a partner (horse) with a brain of its own makes it harder. Putting all the pieces together to compete with finesse can take a long time.”

At the Lakes Region Riding Academy event, as well as at other happenings, the Northeaster Six Shooters love a good audience. “We love spectators!”

Jennifer says. “The public is welcome to come and watch. Lakes Region Riding Academy has a set of bleachers beside the arena for great viewing. This is a popular sport with photographers, thanks to the colorful outfits and the fast action. The guns are loud, so some people might want to bring ear plugs.”

Jennifer is clearly a horse lover. She trail rides with her husband. Her horse is named Rufus, and he is a 22-year-old Bay Roan quarter horse she bought 14 years ago specifically to do mounted shooting, and already quite good at the sport.

Balance is necessary at the sport, and riding and steering in one direction while looking and shooting in another direction is unique among equestrian sports. The rider’s body position and cues are important to communicating with their horse where to go next.

As well as all this, spectators like to see a horse and rider going fast. It

is something most of us do not see on a regular basis, and it is usually on a television show or movie that we see horses running at a fast pace.

Jennifer explains about the group’s riding skill and the spectators, “Many people are attracted to the sport for the speed component. The best advice on speed is to ride to your comfort and skill level. I am not a fast rider, but I am competitive with other riders of my level, and I am working on increasing my speed. We have riders who love the sport but all they want to do is trot and have fun. And that is perfectly fine.”

If you attend the Gilford event and fall in love with riding and six shooting, you can find out more. Jennifer says, “The best way to start is by talking to current members. We’ll tell you all about the sport and answer questions.

Membership forms are available on our website, nesixshooters.com. You can come to a practice or clinic to learn about training your horse for the sport and try it out for yourself. We are a friendly, enabling bunch of people!”

The Northeast Six Shooters attend many events, and they will be back at the Lakes Region Riding Academy in Gilford on October 29 for a Halloween Costume match.

The Lakes Region Riding Academy is located at 26 Young Road in Gilford; call 603-707-7540 or visit www.lakesregionridingacademy.net for further information.

A Night With The Stars Looking up at the night sky from Squam Lake is always a treat, and on the night of August 15, 2022, from 9:00-10:00 pm, the viewing will be even better during the annual Night With The Stars event. Imagine looking up at the Milky Way Galaxy while listening to the call of loons. Then imagine doing it together with family and neighbors. Co-sponsored by three partner organizations, Squam Lakes Conservation Society, Squam Lakes Association, and Squam Lakes Natural Science Center, the goal of Night With The Stars is to celebrate the beauty and conservation of Squam while being “in community”.

Before joining in the “Lights Out” event on the night of August 15th, try to get a sense of the amount of light that exists in the Lakes Region beforehand. If you have the ability, try taking photos of bright spots on the horizon from where you are, before and during the event to observe the difference.

Spread the word to neighbors, family, and businesses in the area about this event. The greater the participation, the better the results will be. If the skies are clear enough to do some star (and planet) gazing, below, are some objects of interest to be on the lookout for, and links to resources where you can find out more information: Jupiter and Saturn will be in the southeast sky about 10:00 p m. Jupiter will be easy to spot since it will be the brightest object in the sky at that time

of night. Saturn will be just to its left, a dimmer, golden-hued object, that is still brighter than most objects around it. A pair of modest binoculars will show the four large Galilean Moons of Jupiter (Io, Europa, Callisto and Ganymede) as bright dots strung out in a straight line on either side of the planet.

A low power telescope will give you a better view of the moons and will show you stripes in Jupiter’s atmosphere.

The Perseids Meteor Shower will still be on, though peak is the 11th & 12th. You can download an app called Stellarium on your phone and it will tell you what you are looking at in the sky based on your location.

Visit the links below for more details: Sky and Telescope Magazine’s “Sky At A Glance” https://skyandtelescope. org/observing/sky-at-a-glance/ Sky and Telescope Magazine’s “Sky Tour” astronomy podcast https://skyandtelescope.org Astronomy Picture of the Day

(APOD) by NASA https://apod.nasa. gov/apod/astropix.htm The Milky Way will be visible as a whitish hazy, wide stripe of stars, stretching from one end of the sky to the other, almost directly overhead.

Being able to observe the Milky Way is a fair test of how dark your skies are. Even a slight bit of light pollution will be enough to keep it from view. If you’d like to look towards the center of our Milky Way Galaxy, the late summer/early autumn months are the time to do it. Satellites may also be viewed orbiting overhead. Look for “stars” on the move. To differentiate an airplane from a satellite, note that airplanes will have blinking lights, satellites won’t.

There are apps for your smartphone or tablet that can show you, in real time, what satellites will be travelling overhead.

If you are interested in learning more about astronomy and connecting with a community of amateur astronomers, check out the New Hampshire Astro-

nomical Society’s (NHAS) website at http://www.nhastro.com/, where, among other things, you can learn about which public libraries around the state, nation and world you can check out an easy-to-use telescope to observe the skies with!

Be sure to participate in turning out your lights at 9:00 pm on Monday, August 15th, 2022, and taking the time to view the wonders of the night sky with friends and family. Getting outside to look up at the wonders of the heavens is never a wasted opportunity. Take a moment to reflect on the issue of light pollution and visit the International Dark-Sky Association website at darksky.org to see what we, as individuals and as members of our society, can do to reduce light pollution. Cutting back on light pollution will not only save money and reduce the amount of greenhouse gases being pumped into our atmosphere, it will benefit the health and well-being of plants and animals and it will enable more people to see the wonders of the night sky. If you are feeling adventurous that evening, you can join SLCS and astronomer Dan Reidy at Doublehead picnic area for an astronomy lesson (weather permitting). We will have telescopes on hand, or you can bring your own.

Space is limited, so register early by emailing denise@foreversquam.org.

Bear Island Chapel Program at Winni Museum On Wednesday, August 17th, historian John Hopper will present a program on the history and preservation of the Bear Island Chapel at the Lake Winnipesaukee Museum. Since seating is limited, advance reservations are requested, by e-mail to lakewinnipesaukeemuseum@gmail.com or by phone 603-366-5950. This program is free for Lake Winnipesaukee Historical Society members; for non-members there is a $5 fee.

Formally known as St. John’s onthe-Lake, the Bear Island Chapel is the only island chapel on Lake Winnipesaukee, and an iconic symbol for

generations of people who summer in the Lakes Region. Built in 1927 of island stone and incorporating a former observation tower, St. John’s is an ecumenical chapel holding Sunday services in July and August. Hopper will explain how the chapel came to be some 95 years ago, as well as its history since inception.

Last year, the Bear Island Chapel was the subject of a series of paintings by esteemed Lakes Region artist Peter Ferber. A color poster of Ferber’s work will be available for sale at this event with all proceeds going to the Preservation Fund of St. John’s-on-the-Lake

Canterbury Shaker Village Welcomes ‘Artists-in-Residence’ This summer and fall, Canterbury Shaker Village will welcome individual artists as part of its longstanding Artist-in-Residency (AIR) program.

Developed in 2018, AIR brings together contemporary artists to live at the Village while they produce works inspired by the landscape and culture of the Shakers.

“This is a wonderful program that promotes the Shakers’ message of reflection and innovation while also expanding our outreach to communities far and wide,” noted Executive Director Leslie Nolan.

Regarding the selection of artists, Hilary Irons has helped coordinate the process since 2020. One of her duties includes acting as liaison between the artists and staff at the Village. She also helps with “grant writing and brainstorming about the future.”

“It is really fun, because I really enjoy working with the executive director and others at the Village,” she said.

“It’s such a beautiful place that it makes a fantastic opportunity for artists.”

It is an opportunity she understands well, as Irons—an artist herself with a studio in the SPACE Gallery building

in Portland’s Arts District—had a residency at the Village in 2020. The experience, she explained, “revolutionized [her] process.”

“I experimented with underpainting combined with the transcendent visual and spiritual qualities of the place itself,” she explained. “I was there for several weeks, and I made a number of works that formed the basis for what I’ve been doing ever since.”

Acknowledging that she will have less time at the Village this year—August 15 to August 25—Irons said she plans to be flexible. “I’ll see what happens,” she said.

As for the kinds of art generally produced during the program, Nolan said Village staff only serve to help provide the proper space, time, and environment to engage in creative work.

“There is no expectation of work directly relating to Shaker themes,” she said. “We recognize the need for artists

to feel free with their time in this space to fully engage in the creative process.”

In addition to Irons, other artists-in-residence include Maria Molteni, Anna Hepler, David Whelan, Kreh Mellick and Andrew Hayes, and Anastatia Spicer.

“We have sculptors, poets, and artists whose work ranges from the mystic to conceptual,” added Nolan. “The variety of work and talent we have here is extraordinary.”

In addition to guided tours, Canterbury Shaker Village interprets Shaker life through exhibits, buildings, gardens, and programs.

The 39th Annual Granite Man Triathlon – August 20

By Rosalie Triolo

Since the Granite Man Triathlon in Wolfeboro did not take place during the COVID years of 2020 and 2021, this year’s highly anticipated event welcomes individuals, teams, experienced or first-time participants. The triathlon includes a .75-mile swim, a 15-mile bike ride, and a 4.2-mile run.

The Starting Line begins, and the Finish Line ends at Carry Beach on Forest Road in Wolfeboro, making it a convenient one-transition area for all events.

On-line race registrations started on April 1. Wolfeboro and Tuftonboro Town Halls and Libraries also have registration forms for you to fill-out.

Noted in the Race Rules – On the Granite Man Triathlon Race Day (Saturday, August 20, 2022), no Registrations will be accepted. Training for either of the individual events or team events is highly recommended. You may find by challenging yourself, you may accomplish more than you expected.

Race day - Your training ended.

You challenged yourself. And now is the moment when you give yourself a pep talk and go on to prove that “I can do it.” Beginning with the Race Day Schedule, which for participants begins at 6:30am when all registered racers must check in. If you have

not registered, you will not be eligible to race. Race Day check-in ends at 8:30am, and by 9:00am, the 39TH Annual Granite Man Triathlon begins with the 3/4-mile swim. You’ve read the Race Rules and have paid particular attention to the first two words in the first sentence, “Have fun!”

This year on Saturday, August 20TH, some of the participants in the 39TH Annual Granite Man Triathlon were not even born when on September 25, 1974, the first modern swim/bike/run event was held at Mission Bay, San Diego, California with only 46 participants. The modern triathlon was created and directed by Jack Johnstone and Don Shanahan, who were members of the San Diego Track Club.

According to Claire Trageser, a reporter for KPBS in San Diego California: “It was a Wednesday after work in 1974. Jack Johnstone and his friend Don Shanahan gathered 46 men and women in San Diego’s Mission Bay. They were there for what they thought would be a novelty race that combined swimming, biking and running. His wife, Betty Johnstone thought it was a crazy idea, and Jack never thought it would go anywhere. He just thought it would be a one-time fun event.” Each year over two million people finish tri-

athlons. A “crazy idea,” that made its first Olympic Triathlon debut in the 2000 Summer Olympics held in Sydney, Australia, where 48 women and 52 men competed in separate triathlons. International distances of 0.93mile swim, 25-mile cycle and 6.2-mile run were used. The quota of athletes competing was one hundred.

It is interesting how races are timed.

We are living in a fast-paced technological world where hundredths of a second is the difference between winning or losing. It is the age of Chrono Track Timing Technology, and the RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tag which is attached to the athlete’s bib number. The tags use passive RFID technology. According to Bill Teschek of the Granite State Race Services, “The chip is a plastic object that is worn on all three legs of the Triathlon.”

Granite State Race Services (GSRS), in 2008, was the first timing company in New England to adopt the Chrono Track Timing Technology. Considered the foremost timing technology around the world, Chrono Track uses disposable tags which are fastened to the back of the runners’ bib numbers.

This unique timing method tracks runners as they pass over, or by GSRS’s timing points where Chrono Track an-

tennas receive the signal from the tags through which the time and bib number is instantly recorded and sent to GSRS computers. This technology enables GSRS to provide a faster response time with precise and more accurate results from live displays which are transmitted through emails or text messages to the runners after they finish the race.

A far cry from the first Olympic Games held in Greece, when the athlete was declared winner because he was first to cross the finish-line. Time was of no interest to the Greeks back then, nor was there a way of timing a race. What is puzzling, though is that • Granite Man Continued on page 12

If you have hiked, driven or taken the Cog Railway to the top of Mount Washington and visited the Observatory Museum, you may have noticed a plaque dedicated to the memory of Al-

bert Henry Dow III. Proceeds from the Granite State Triathlon help sustain the Albert Dow III memorial scholarship fund which each year awards a Kingswood High School Graduate who, like Albert Dow III, embodies the selfless dedication to the service of helping humanity. On January 25, 1982, Dow, a member of the Mountain Rescue Service, and at the age of 28 was a skilled rock-and-ice climbing instruc-

tor, together with a fellow MRS member went out in blizzard conditions to search for two lost hikers on Mount Washington’s Lion Head Trail. Dow and his partner were able to follow the lost hikers’ tracks on the snow-covered mountain trail. When they were swept away by an avalanche. Dow didn’t survive. Three days later the two hikers, ages 17 and 20, were found, frost-bitten and near death, and were air-lifted off the mountain.

In interviewing three young men who participated in the 2011 Granite Man Triathlon, it was interesting to find that although they may not have placed in the top ranks, they had enjoyed the training, and pushing themselves beyond their normal daily or weekly routines. The swimmer from Virginia was a strong swimmer. The cyclist commented that coming from Rhode Island, the hills he trained on were not as difficult, and he had some trouble with his bike. The runner, who came from France said, “The hills here were steeper than those I had trained on in France.” He began training in April, 3 to 4 days a week, but found the course in Wolfeboro more challenging yet interesting, and was happy with the

team rank.

Mary Ann Murray is a retired school teacher, an avid swimmer all her life, and taught as well as coached swimming. She now is a video photographer.

She has participated in 30 Granite Man Triathlons, and began by saying, “I gave up smoking when I was 38 years old, and to get into shape I joined a Masters Swim Program.” Her goal was to participate in the swimming event of the Granite Man Triathlon in Wolfeboro. Mary Ann and her good friend, Ruth Conway, trained together two to three days a week for the three-quarter mile swim. She swam in the Female Team, and the Over 50 Co-ed Team events. She is proud to say she waterskied at 69 years of age and plans on doing it again on her next birthday.

Mary Ann enjoys the camaraderie with other athletes, but most of all she loves to swim.

A Story of Survival Lecture by Kati Preston On Tuesday, August 16th, the Wright Museum will welcome Holocaust survivor Kati Preston. This is the thirteenth program of the Wright Museum’s 2022 Ron Goodgame and Donna Canney Education Series.

Kati Preston is a Holocaust survivor, motivational speaker, author, and activist for tolerance and anti-bullying.

She will speak about her experiences growing up after the tragedy of losing her family, but her message is being a survivor and not a victim. She is a mother to four sons and a grandmother to four girls. She travels throughout New England to share her message of hope, survival, and triumph over evil.

Her optimism leaves her audiences energized to stand up, fight against hate, and improve their world.

Kati Preston was born in Hungary in 1939, the only child born to a Jewish father and a Catholic mother. Twenty-eight members of Kati’s Jewish family perished in Auschwitz. After

successful careers as a journalist, international fashion designer, EMT, and owner of an educational theater company, Kati realized that what matters most is sharing her story of survival in order to educate others of the devastating consequences of hate and prejudice.

Recently, she was honored with the Susan J. Herman award for leadership in Holocaust and Genocide Awareness as well as the UNH Age of Champions Inspirational Award. Kati has written a book about her life called “Holocaust to Healing: Closing the Circle” Doors open at 6 p.m., the program begins at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, August 16th at the Wright Museum’s DuQuoin Education Center, 77 Center Street in Wolfeboro. Admission is $5 for members and $10 for non-members. Reservations are strongly encouraged and can be made online at www.wrightmuseum.org/lecture-series or by calling 603-569-1212.

Annual Meeting of Members Squam Lakes Natural Science Center will hold their annual meeting for members on Saturday, August 13 from 8:30 to 10:00 a.m. in the Science Center’s outdoor picnic pavilion.

NLRA Takes a Look at Trees Join the Newfound Lake Region Association (NLRA) as we take a closer look at trees during Newfound Nature Station, a free program that connects youth and families to the natural world. This event will be held at Grey Rocks Conservation Area at 178 N Shore Road, Hebron, NH on August 17 and 20 from 10 am to 12 pm. Participants will go on a quest to find different tree species at Grey Rocks, get an introduction to tree rings, and make some tree art to take home. (Note that the art activity involves ink and can get messy, so participants should dress accordingly.)

This program is free and open to all.

Newfound Nature Station, along with other family programs and events, is part of NLRA’s initiative to encourage residents and visitors to enjoy the

natural beauty around them, learn more about the environment and how to protect it, and fall in love with the Newfound Wa t e r s h e d .

By connecting the people of Newfound to the wonders around them, NLRA works to inspire the next generation of stewards and fulfill the mission of protecting Newfound Lake and its watershed. Along with programs like Newfound Nature Station, NLRA maintains Grey Rocks Conservation Area as a place for people and wildlife alike. It offers walking trails, a picnic area, fishing alcoves, and a non-motorized boat launch and is frequented by wildlife like loons, turtles, and bald eagles as well as people.

When Henrietta Leavitt begins work at the Harvard Observatory in the early 1900s, she isn’t allowed to touch a telescope or express an original idea. Instead, she joins a group of women “computers,” charting the stars for a renowned astronomer who calculates projects in “girl hours” and has no time for the women’s probing theories. As Henrietta, in her free time, attempts to measure the light and distance of stars, she must also take measure of her life on Earth, trying to balance her dedication to science with family obligations and the possibility of love.

Lecture and Book Signing at Wright Museum On Tuesday, August 9th, the Wright Museum will welcome author James M. Scott. This is the twelfth program of the Wright Museum’s 2022 Ron Goodgame and Donna Canney Education Series.

On April 18, 1942, eighty volunteer airmen under the command of Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle lifted off from the deck of the carrier Hornet for a strike on the Japanese capital of Tokyo. A virtual suicide mission, the raid helped rally a shell-shocked nation and ultimately jumpstarted Japan on the road to ruin.

A former Nieman Fellow at Harvard, James M. Scott is the author of Rampage, which was named one of the Best Books of 2018 by the editors at Amazon, Kirkus and Military Times and was chosen as a finalist for the prestigious Gilder Lehrman Prize

for Military History by the New York Historical Society. His other works include Target Tokyo, a 2016 Pulitzer Prize finalist, The War Below and The Attack on the Liberty, which won the Rear Admiral Samuel Eliot Morison Award. Scott lives with his wife and two children in Mt. Pleasant, SC. Doors open at 6 p.m., the program begins at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, August 9th at the Wright Museum’s DuQuoin Education Center, 77 Center Street in Wolfeboro. Admission is $5 for members and $10 for non-members. Reservations are strongly encouraged and can be made online at www.wrightmuseum.org/lecture-series or by calling 603-569-1212.

‘Cue The Grill Grilled Side Dish Recipes Hello My Foodie Friends. Welcome back to another chapter in food fun. Preparing food has been one of my passions throughout my life, at times more so than I care to admit.

The restaurant world is no picnic and behind the scenes, it is not a place that most people I know want to hang out.

I usually tell those people that they are smarter than I. Unless you want to work a ridiculous number of hours when most of the world are enjoying

themselves, often in the very restaurant you are working in. I wouldn’t recommend it, but to all my fellow misfits out there, we relish the blood, sweat, and tears we put into our work.

As a chef, I hired hundreds of young men or women and I could tell almost immediately who really wanted to make the restaurant world a living. I always warned them of the few pros and many cons associated with the business, and if they wanted to proceed, I would take

those kids under my wing and share the love. Those people were the minority though, all the more reason I enjoyed sharing my knowledge with them.

Most were there just to make some quick money for a time before moving on to something “better” or go back to school. Although I know most all of you reading this haven’t worked in the sweltering heat of a professional kitchen, you are likely reading because you enjoy cooking, and I’m happy that you are here. I truly enjoy the mega emails I receive from many of you, and I always respond with any questions you throw my way or to your feedback, so thank you!

The outdoor grill is the bulk of our discourse during this time of year, usually talking great ideas for the center of the plate, so to speak. Today however, it’s time to talk about all the many side dishes off the barbie we can serve with the main entrée. Let’s face it, the choices of side dishes may not come from a wide number of items, but the choices for those items are extremely wide. Most all veggies can be grilled,

but it’s all a matter of finding fun ways to do so where everyone is going to enjoy and eat them, especially the kids.

We all know that can be a challenge for many parents, so hopefully some of today’s options will help take care of all the finicky eaters out there, as well as those who will eat just about anything cooked in any way. First on the board is some fun corn on the cob recipes off the grill.

Let’s face it, I think 99% of the population enjoys fresh corn in the summertime, and with good reason. It’s relatively inexpensive, usually sweet, and for most, fun to eat. As a rule, we all usually boil it, or soak in the husk and grill it, and then we roll the ears in butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

I have talked about compound butters from time to time, usually for steak or grilled fish, but a compound butter is just a combo of butter and some of your favorite herbs and spice. That is never a bad thing to do with corn as well. Here are a few very quick and easy corn options to make to start this article off with.

August 8, 2022 | THE LAKER | Page 21 • ‘Cue the Grill continued from page 20 Buttery Horseradish Grilled Corn on The Cob Prep/Cook Time is 30 minutes for 12 ears of corn ¾ cup butter, softened ¼ cup shredded pepper jack cheese ¼ cup prepared horseradish 1 tbsp dried parsley flakes 3 tsp salt 2 tsp balsamic vinegar ½ tsp fresh grind black pepper ¼ tsp dried thyme 12 medium ears sweet corn, husks removed Rip 12 sheets of heavy-duty tinfoil into squares, 12”-14”. In a small bowl, mix the first eight ingredients until blended and spread over corn. Wrap each in a piece of the foil, sealing tightly.

Grill corn, cover down, over medium heat 15-20 minutes or until tender, turning occasionally. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape. These are yummy with a nice and delicious bite to them.

BBQ Grilled Corn Prep/Cook Time is 25-60 minutes, depending on grilling in or out of husks, and is for 8 ears 8 ears corn, soaked in the husk for 30 minutes 2/3 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce 1 cup crushed wavy or ruffle style of potato chips Heat grill to high. Grill corn still in the husk, turning occasionally, grill cover down, until tender, usually 10-

15 minutes. Pull them and let sit for another 5-10 to rest. Carefully husk the corn, and then brush each ear with the sauce and sprinkle with the chip crumbs. A little crunch makes these fun as well as delicious. If preferred, these can be done by husking first and then grilling.

Pesto & Parmesan Corn Prep/Cook Time is 25-60 minutes, depending on grilling in or out of husks, and is for 8 ears 8 ears corn, soaked in the husk for 30 minutes 2/3 cup pesto ¼ cup grated Parmesan Heat grill to high. Repeat the exact process as the last recipe, except when done, brush with pesto and then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

OK, so let’s move on from grilled corn on the cob. From here on in, there will be no rhyme or reason, so buckle up. Next is a stuffed grilled zucchini that is very delicious, and though zucchini generally isn’t right on top of my list of favorites, if you love it, it’s a win/win. Total prep/cook time is 35-40 minutes, which includes a few minutes of sauté work, and makes 4 servings.

The recipe is easy to multiply for more if needed.

Stuffed Grilled Zucchini 4 medium zucchinis 5 tsp olive oil, divided 2 tbsp finely chopped red onion ¼ tsp minced garlic ½ cup dry breadcrumbs ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese 1 tbsp minced fresh mint ½ tsp salt 3 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese Cut zucchini in half lengthwise and

scoop out flesh, leaving ¼ inch thick shells. Brush them with 2 tsp of the oil and set aside. Chop zucchini flesh. In a large skillet, sauté flesh and onion in remaining oil until almost done, 4-5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute longer. Add breadcrumbs and cook and stir until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in the mozzarella cheese, mint, and salt.

Spoon into zucchini shells. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Grill, lid down, over medium heat until zucchini is tender, 8-10 minutes, and then they’re ready to gobble down.

Portabella mushrooms are generally a big hit, and this recipe is scrumptious.

It’s Tater Time. Easily the most used food used as a side dish, potatoes are such a staple for the average person’s diet. There is a reason for that, mainly being they are so darn good, and maybe more so, their flexibility in how there are so many ways to prepare them.

This one is done with sweet potatoes, feeds 8 and total time is 60 minutes, much of which is cooking time.

Charred Sweet Potatoes with Honey and Olive Oil 4 large, sweet potatoes, Japanese style if available 4 tbsp olive oil, divided ¼ cup honey ¼ cup white wine vinegar Kosher salt Flaky sea salt Freshly cracked black pepper Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.

Rub sweet potatoes with 2 tbsp oil and wrap tightly in foil, either individually or 2 per packet, but make sure they are wrapped tight. Grill, turning every 5 minutes or so, until tender, 30–45 minutes. Unwrap and let cool slightly.

While they are cooking, bring honey, vinegar, and a big pinch of kosher salt to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat on your grill burner or inside, then reduce heat, and simmer until just beginning to thicken, about 4 minutes. Keep warm. Cut sweet potatoes in half lengthwise. Rub cut sur• ‘Cue the Grill continued on page 22

Although we will get back to a potato recipe later, it’s time to switch gears again, this time grilling cabbage wedges. Cabbage is a love/hate kind of thing in that people that love it really love it, and if you hate it, well, you get it. The cabbage is accompanied by a delectable spicy lime dressing, will give you 8 portions and won’t take more than a half hour Grilled Cabbage Wedges with Spicy Lime Dressing

• ‘Cue the Grill continued from page 21 faces with 1 tbsp oil, then season with kosher salt. Grill, cut side down, without turning, until lightly charred, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and brush with honey glaze. Arrange sweet potatoes on a platter and drizzle with more glaze and remaining 1 tbsp of oil. Season with sea salt and pepper.

Since we started the potato recipes, spuds it is again. This time, we are using fingerling potatoes, par boiled and then skewered and grilled. Fingerlings are so good and not used enough in many home fronts. They are easy to find in your local supermarkets and very popular in the restaurant world, so I strongly recommend giving fingerlings a test drive in a few different ways. Total time will take 50-55 minutes and serves 6.

Fingerling Potatoes with Fresh Parsley and Chives 2 lbs. fingerling potatoes ¼ cup olive oil ½ tsp Goya sazon seasoning, without annatto, found at any Walmart or most grocery stores ½ tsp adobo seasoning 2 tbsp minced fresh parsley 2 tbsp minced chives Place potatoes in a 6-qt stockpot, add water to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and cook uncovered, 15-20 minutes or until tender. Do not overcook.

¼ cup fresh squeezed lime juice ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil 1 tbsp fish sauce 2 garlic cloves ¼ cup cilantro leaves ½ tsp salt ½ tsp cayenne ½ tsp sugar 1 large head of green cabbage. although I often a half head of green and a half head of purple Canola oil Wedges of lime for garnish

In the bowl of a food processor or blender combine the lime juice, olive oil, fish sauce, garlic, cilantro, salt, cayenne and sugar and pulse or blend until the sauce is a pale orange color, set aside. Preheat your well-oiled grill to medium high. Remove the loosest, toughest outer leaves from the cabbage, then cut into 8 evenly sized wedges.

Do not remove the stalk or inner core.

Lightly brush the wedges with canola oil. Place the wedges on the grill and cover. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until the edges of each layer are blackened and the cabbage is beginning to soften. Flip each wedge over, cover the grill, and cook for an additional 5 to 7 minutes on the other side. Remove the cabbage when it is beginning to wilt but is still firm in the middle. If necessary, turn the heat down or move the wedges to a cooler part of the grill so they don’t burn. Don’t be afraid of the blackened edges as you want a lot of grill and char marks on the cabbage.

Take the cabbage off the grill and place on a serving platter. Pour the dressing over the top of the cabbage and serve immediately with wedges of lime. I have a feeling you have likely never seen this dish before, but also guessing you will try it more than once.

One veggie that seems to be neglected on the grill is carrots, and trust me, if that’s the case at your house, you are missing out. I am usually the guy that prefers to eat my carrots raw most of

the time, but I’m a big sucker for these.

Carrots do tend to burn up if not babysat though, so keep an eye on them, as well as moving them to a cooler side of the grill at times if needed. Keep the lid closed as often as possible. This will give you 8 servings and shouldn’t take much more than 30 minutes if that.

Grilled Carrots with Cumin Serrano Yogurt 3 lbs. medium carrots with tops, scrubbed not peeled, tops trimmed to 1 inch 2 bunches scallions, tops trimmed, halved lengthwise 6 tbsp olive oil, divided Kosher salt 2 tsp cumin seeds 2 serrano chile, finely chopped, plus more sliced for serving 2 cups plain whole-milk Greek yogurt ½ cup fresh squeezed lime juice 4 tbsp chopped fresh mint leaves, plus more for serving Prepare a grill for medium-low heat.

Toss carrots and spring onions on a rimmed baking sheet with 2 tbsp oil, then season with salt.

Meanwhile, toast cumin seeds in a dry small skillet • ‘Cue the Grill continued on page 23

Let cool, then grind in spice mill or with mortar and pestle. Mix in a medium bowl with chopped serrano, yogurt, lime juice, chopped mint, and remaining 4 tbsp oil, then season with salt. Spoon half the yogurt onto a platter, arrange the cooked carrots and onions over it, drizzle most of the rest over the top, or reserve and sit it on the table for those to help themselves. You should then top with mint leaves and sliced chiles. Another classically original recipe for most to enjoy. If preferred, the yogurt can be made up to 2 days ahead. Keep covered and chilled, although take out to room temp an hour before needing.

Next, we have a grab bag of veggies, a potpourri of sorts, all marinated in a great combo of balsamic and herbs.

The veggies marinade for a half hour in between some prep and cooking, all things combine to 70-75 minutes minimum, or you can marinade for up to 8 hours which is never a bad thing. This will feed 4 and again is an easy one to multiply if you have a larger crowd over.

Balsamic Grilled Vegetables 2 tbsp olive oil 2 tsp balsamic vinegar 1 clove garlic, minced 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped Salt and fresh grind black pepper to taste 1 medium zucchini, sliced into ½ inch slices 1 red onion, cut into wedges 2 colored bell peppers of choice, cut

into wedges 8 oz mushrooms, halved 1 cup grape tomatoes Place the first 5 ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Toss in the veggies and lightly stir to combine. Allow to marinate at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours. Preheat grill to medium heat.

Remove vegetables from marinade and place in a grilling basket or on a grill mat, or thread onto skewers. Grill 8-12 minutes or until cooked to desired doneness. Serve immediately.

While talking balsamic themes, let’s switch back to another sweet potato recipe since these two ingredients pair up incredibly well. Prep time is 15 minutes, and depending on the size of your grill, you can cook these in a single batch in 10-15 minutes. If you need to do in 2 batches, just keep the first batch warm while doing so. This feeds 8.

Grilled Lime Balsamic Sweet Potatoes 5 medium sweet potatoes, about 3 pounds 2 tbsp olive oil 1 tsp salt ¼ tsp pepper ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro ¼ cup packed brown sugar ¼ cup fresh squeezed lime juice 3 tbsp balsamic glaze, found in any supermarket Peel and cut each sweet potato lengthwise into 8 wedges, place in a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix oil, salt, and pepper. Pour over the spuds and toss to well coat. Cook potatoes on a greased grill rack, covered, over medium heat 8-10 minutes or until tender, turning occasionally. Again, do in

batches if necessary. In a large bowl, mix remaining ingredients and once all taters are cooked, add them to the balsamic mix and toss well to coat and serve.

This next one is likely the most unique of the day, especially if you have never combined apples and onions on the grill. What a great marriage these two make. These work as a traditional side dish, as well as a wonderful topping over most any protein.

These will be done in less than 30 minutes and serves 6.

Grilled Spiced Onions and Apples 4 tbsp butter, melted 1 tbsp olive oil 1 tsp cinnamon ½ tsp salt ½ tsp fresh grind black pepper ¼ tsp ground clove 2-3 large Braeburn or gala apples, cored and cut into ½ inch slices 2 large Vidalia onions, peeled and cut into ½ inch slices

a small bowl, combine melted butter, oil, cinnamon, salt, pepper, and cloves.

Mix and set aside. Place apple and onion slices on the hot grill. Brush tops with half of butter/oil mixture. Cover and grill for 5 minutes. Turn apple and onion slices carefully with a metal spatula so that onion rings do not separate. Brush with remaining butter/oil mixture. Cover and grill for 5-7 more minutes. Remove from grill, again carefully, so that onion rings do not separate. Layer apple and onion slices on a serving platter to serve.

Always grill to your heart’s content, feel free to always experiment with a combo of new and old familiar recipes as variety is a wonderful thing, so long as you are keeping your taste buds happy. I hope to see you all next week, and please reach out any time with feedback or questions about anything food related. Stay safe out there.

NY Production in Wolfeboro for 2 Nights Only ReEntry: Actors Playing Jazz, directed by Wo l f e b o r o summer native and Academy Award winner Estelle Parsons comes to Wolfeboro for two nights, Wednesday, August 17 and Thursday, August 18, 7:30 pm at The Village Players Theater.

“Thrilling--better than anything on Broadway,” says actor Alec Baldwin about the production, and “It opened my eyes to the depth of the power I know exists in theater but rarely see demonstrated,” states Rick Broussard, editor of New Hampshire Magazine.

ReEntry: Actors Playing Jazz is the story of six formerly incarcerated men who have come together after release from prison to start a theater group with a goal to keep them on the right side of the law. Developed at the Actors Studio in New York, it’s directed by Estelle Parsons, a lifelong summer resident of Wolfeboro and Oscar-winning and Tony-nominated actor. She has rehearsed several of her own productions on The Village Players stage, and, in recent years, has been instrumental in bringing shows-in-production to Wolfeboro

for shaping, polishing, and performance.

Actors Leland Gantt, Ron Scott, Marcus Naylor, Javier Molina, Erick Betancourt and Ryan Johnson are all members of the Actors Studio and have numerous New York stage, TV and film credits. The production’s creative team includes Peter Larkin as set consultant and Shukkun Hue as costume consultant with music created by J.S. Bach.

The performance is a benefit for Village Players Theater. Tickets, $25, will be on sale at www.village-players. com/”village-players.com and at the door. The theater’s complete COVID policies are on the website and should be reviewed before buying tickets.

The Village Players is a non-profit community theater located at 51 Glendon Street, Wolfeboro, that welcomes onstage and non-stage members of all ages. Visit www.village-players.com to learn more, including about late August auditions for the fall production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

The Seldom Playrights Take the Bandstand The next Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand summer concert series will feature some old school country music.

The Seldom Playrights will take to the bandstand on Saturday, Aug. 13, in Cate Park. The group has been part of the summer concert series for a few years now and have proven a popular draw.

The Seldom Playrights are a group of musicians brought together by their love of old school country music, as played by the likes of Merle Haggard, George Jones, Buck Owens, Marty Stuart, Steve Earle, Emmylou Harris and Dwight Yoakam, among others.

Jim Lamond, who has played with Susan Tedeschi, Mark Erelli and Joyce Andersen, is the band’s bass player and is one of the band’s vocalists. Bruce Derr, who has played with The Molenes and Mainesqueeze, is the band’s pedal steel player, while Rob Kneeland, who has been part of High Range, chips in on vocals and also plays drums. Billy Loosigian, who has experience with The Darlings, Willie “Loco” Alexander and The Joneses, plays guitar, specifically the Fender Telecaster, while Kent Allyn, who has appeared with Joyce Andersen, David Surrette and Cormac McCarthy, will play acoustic

Rte.125 RV & Marine, Inc.

guitar and also chip in with vocals.

The band plays genuine honky-tonk country and American roots music, as inspired by some of their idols. The band has a regular gig at the Blue Mermaid in Portsmouth as part of “Honky Tonk Tuesdays.”

The band will be bringing the old school country sound to the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand as part of the summer concert series, which takes place each Saturday in July and August on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee.

The Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand present the concerts every summer for free in the bandstand in Cate Park. While there is no charge to enjoy the bands, a pass-the-bucket collection is taken at intermission to help support the group’s mission to continue to bring quality music to the Wolfeboro area each summer.

The Seldom Playrights will be taking the bandstand on Saturday, Aug. 13, at 7 p.m. The concert runs until 9 p.m., with a short intermission. If bad weather is threatened, there will be a sign posted at the entrance to Cate Park near the town docks and there will be a notice posted on The Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand Facebook page.

Lego Man Comes to Wolfeboro Learn the Art of Watercolor Get ready for more than the Painting a full week of pre-formed sets Lego® fun! Join Cody Wells of C3Brix (aka: the Lego Man of NYC) for Lego® builds, challenges, and Lego® knowledge beyond your wildest dreams.

Throughout the week you’ll work together using your greatest building skills to create a giant Lego® city with over 80lbs of Lego® Brick. Lego® challenges and prizes will be done daily along with a few surprises built in. “Pun intended” When Cody Wells was five years old, his family moved to the country.

Like many kids his age, he had a deep love of Legos®. However, in his new country house, he also developed a deep fear of ghosts. His favorite movie was “Ghostbusters” so his father suggested that he build a ghost-trap out of his Legos®. Doing just that, he realized that Legos® could be so much

that come with instructions and the rest, as they say, is history. Cody continued to build with Legos® into adulthood, and in 2010 he moved to NYC to turn his passion into a career.

C3Brix will be coming to Wolfeboro to do a summer camp with the Wolfeboro Recreation Department. The dates for the camp are August 15 through 19 and limited space is available. Camp is currently taking place at the pavilion near Foss Field for children aged 5 to 14. There are currently single days and whole week camps available. Each day takes place from 10am to 3 pm and campers should bring a lunch or snack.

Going Noodles with the Noodle Club Story & Photos by Kathi Caldwell-Hopper As clubs go, this one is very strict.

Club rules are heavy, and you better follow them if you want to be part of this highly esteemed group.

Rule number one: Get a noodle. You know the type – those colorful foam rubbery, long noodle shaped water flotation toys you see everywhere, every summer. Be prepared to pay big money for a noodle, which is a few dollars.

Secondly, make sure your noodle color matches your bathing suit.

Although it isn’t a strict requirement, it helps to be color coordinated in this highly competitive and fashionable sport.

Third – and probably the most important – is you must be able to swim a distance to qualify. In the case of the Gunstock Acres Noodle Club – that distance is to the buoys at the Gunstock Acres beach area in Gilford.

If you have not guessed by now, the Gunstock Acres Noodle Club is about pure and lighthearted fun, as are some

Noodle Club members and younger people enjoying the water with their noodles. it to say, if you like the water and the of the “rules”. The members, which camaraderie of being with others who number about 50 (although the count like to swim, to socialize and of course, is unclear because the president, Carol to laugh, you might qualify to become O’Connor and treasurer, Judy Brown, a member. are so busy regaling everyone with “There are really three things a stories and memories of noodling on member must be able to do,” says the lake, they don’t really have an Carol as she relaxed in a beach chair on accurate membership count. Suffice a hot July day before the group headed for the water with their noodles.

“Number one, you must love the lake.

And number two, you must love the beach and the third thing is you must be able to swim to the buoy mooring field safely.”

Anyone gazing across the water will see the buoy is enough of a distance from shore to prove if someone can swim strongly enough for safety.

Safety in the water is a big part of the club, and one of the few things that matters most. They want to make sure anyone who swims with the group is used to being in the water and can

FOUR SEASONS FOR EVERY TREE

swim adeptly. You do not have to be a champion swimmer, but certainly you need to be comfortable swimming in the lake.

Perhaps the most important aspect of being a Noodle Club member is that you must be a member of Gunstock Acres in Gilford. This is because the group uses the private Gunstock Acres Association’s beach (it is open only to members of Gunstock Acres).

Why highlight a story on a club that seems exclusive by nature of the fact you must reside in a particular place to join? The answer is simple. Because the Noodle Club is just too darned fun to resist talking to the members and finding out more. Once the reader learns about the club, they might be inspired to start their own noodle group, which will make summer on the lake even more enjoyable.

The club started almost by accident, when 25 years ago friends Carol O’Connor, Judy Brown and Jane Kneuer were swimming together at the Acres beach. Soon after, a unique new water toy, the noodle, gained popularity. “We saw that noodles give us great water support and they are inexpensive,” Carol explains.

Membership grew when others on the beach saw Carol, Judy and Jane enjoying the water with their noodles.

“People began to ask if they could swim this us,” Carol recalls of the early days of the club. “Eventually, we decided to form the Noodle Club.”

The group gathers nearly every day at the beach, and they chat and socialize. As many as 20 people may show up on any given day and go out • Noodles continued on page 27

August 8, 2022 | THE LAKER | Page 27 • Noodles continued from page 26 with Carol and the group to swim and use their noodles for support and a bit of exercise. The group swims with the noodles around the area, and it is a good workout.

“We go out rain or shine,” Carol adds. “We usually go out in choppy conditions; we love the challenge.” In choppy water, the group typically must work harder to move around the lake as on a calmer day.” Carol recalls one year there was an unexpected tornado, so obviously the group chose not to swim on that day.

The group uses the noodles because most of them are average or mediocre swimmers and choose not to go all the way out without them. Explains Carol, “They (the noodles) are an aid to us, as well as providing visibility.

That is why so many more people can participate.”

There is little doubt that swimming with the noodles is good exercise and

sometimes Carol and the members swim from one end of an allotted area to another.

Mostly, the Noodle Club is about fun. “We aren’t a serious group. There is too much seriousness in our world today and we want to have a nice time on the lake. We joke, we talk. It is magical when we are on the water and feel our stresses melt away,” Carol says.

The group, due to its casual nature, does not hold scheduled meetings, but rather might have a celebration on the beach for a member’s birthday, for example. “One year we held a noodle dinner,” recalls Carol. “If issues come up that we need to discuss, we deal with it and don’t really hold meetings.”

There is certainly no discrimination on gender; currently, there is one male member of the Noodle Club. Mostly made up of women, there also are kids who swim with the group.

The Facebook page for the club states, “You must be over 18 to join.

All dear little people up to age 11 are

We Specialize in Oversized Moves!

Spaghetti Sisters, and those ages 12-18 are Noodlettes.”

Payment of dues is very important, and the Facebook page states playfully, “Pay your dues promptly. Dues are zero but may be doubled for rule infractions.”

Having so much fun, with silly club rules and a lot of laughter, Carol says they eagerly watch the weather and the lake conditions each spring. “We are usually swimming from June until October, but the water must be warm enough. The ideal water temperature is 70 degrees.”

The club likes to participate in the Gilford Old Home Day parade each late August. “We won first place in the parade one year, and we won second place another year. We do a noodle routine when we march in the parade,”

says Judy. (You can see the Gunstock Acres Noodle Club in this year’s parade, which will be Saturday, August 27 at 10 am in the Gilford village area.)
