By definition, an ‘old barn’ is fifty or more years old. However, barns must be 75 years or older to qualify for New Hampshire’s tax incentive program. These are agricultural buildings—including supplementary structures, such as carriage houses and out buildings like sugarhouses, smoke houses, and chicken coops—designed

to house animals, hay, and straw. Sadly, on average, there are 65 deadly barn fires each year in the United States, thus the need for preservation efforts.

More than two decades ago, the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance (NHPA) inaugurated its program designed to preserve barns that qualify to be on either the federal or state historic registry. The effort has been a labor of love on the part of both the organization and members of the public, who identify themselves as ‘barn-lovers’.Sixteenyears ago, Beverly Thomas joined NHPA and assumed the role of program director, specializing in old homes and barns. Clearly the system designed by Thomas and her colleagues—with considerable support from municipalities, other agencies, and the general public—has been successful. Results from a recent survey of barns conducted in twenty New Hampshire towns have been prorated to determine that there are 20,000 large iconic barns remaining within the state today.

Saving New Hampshire’s Iconic Old Barns: A Labor of Love

By MarkTheOkrantbarnis an American icon, one that Stacee Lynn wrote about in Our Barndominium Life, harkens back to a time of self-reliance and independence.” The barn, according to Lynn, “reminds us that we are a nation of growers, builders, and doers.”

structures throughout a minimum tenyear preservation easement. In return, the municipality provides property tax relief of 25 to 50 percent of the fullassessed value of the building(s) and the land immediately beneath them. The designers of the program wisely added the stipulation that there will be no increase in tax assessments resulting from work that is performed throughout a ten-year easement.

as a promotional voice. Ultimately, it becomes the decision of the individual towns to determine whether an application is accepted. To qualify, a structure must be visible from a right of way and must have national or state structural significance.

By visiting nhpreservation.org, information about numerous vital variables is made available. This includes a description of frame terminology, a definition of barn types (including identifying photographs), and tips for dating the age of a barn. The website also contains a document prepared by renowned dairy specialist, Professor John Porter.

Presently, as the organization has been doing for decades, NHPA assists barn owners and enthusiasts to ensure that the Granite State’s barns are not damaged, destroyed, or removed from New Hampshire. Helping to facilitate this, the state government implemented RSA 79-D, the Barn Tax Incentive Program, in July of 2002. This RSA authorizes towns and cities to grant property tax relief to owners who can demonstrate that there is public benefit to be derived from barns as well as older farm buildings. Owners within the program agree to maintain their

What follows are several references about barn preservation. For information about programs that are promoted or operated by the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance: telephone (603) 224-2281, visit www. nhpreservation.org, or email admin@ nhpreservation.org. Excellent written resources include John Porter’s “Preserving Old Barns,” Tom Visser’s “Field Guide to New England Farm Buildings,” and Tom Hubka’s “Big House, Little House, Back House, Barn.”

organization’s overwhelming emphasis is on preserving barns as working farm buildings, Thomas is well aware that some owners have other uses in mind when they purchase a property that holds an iconic barn. During the twenty-first century, numerous barns are being used to provide storage for the owners’ cars or boats. Others are rehabilitated for purposes that are very different from their intended function. Today, the New Hampshire landscape is dotted with restaurants, events buildings, and furniture stores within structures that originally housed animals and farm equipment. Asked to state her hope for the barn preservation program, Thomas did not hesitate: “My goal is to keep all of this state’s barns right here in New Hampshire.”

A program that Thomas and her colleagues monitor is Historic Barn Assessment Grants. These small matching grants cover the cost of an assessment by a professional contractor and, according to Thomas, “help barn owners by providing ‘road maps’ for repair and re-use.” Full grants are $400, with mini-grants of $250. Successful applicants must provide a small cash match. To participate, owners complete a Farm Reconnaissance Inventory Form and submit it to NHPA. Next, NHPA will recommend a barn consultant who assists the potential applicant to prioritize goals and expenses. The consultant will inspect the barn to determine its age and features, then note what future steps will be required. Since water damage is the greatest single enemy of barns, the program strongly emphasizes protection against water, whether from precipitation or soilAskedmoisture.about

But at the New Hampshire Boat Museum in Wolfeboro, steam is the title of a fascinating exhibit focused on steam powered boats. The exhibit is focused on the history of steam powered boats that once were the major way of water travel in the Lakes Region and beyond.

the museum of interest. It just might change your mind about boating because it is truly fascinating to see the old boats and step back in time to the days when boats were becoming popular in the area.

I don’t own a boat and I probably never will. I also don’t know much about boats – old or new – and how to navigate the lakes, but I like to learn about how people lived and played long ago and to get up close to the things they once used and owned. To see a vintage boat and gaze at the old seating where genteel ladies in long dresses and big hats once relaxed and enjoyed a summer’s trip on the lake, or to see old photographs of boats on the

water, is enough to delight.

The Letting Off Steam exhibit is a gem, and the good news for the public is that it will be on display until the museum closes for the season in October. The Boat Museum is a place I love to go, and I stop in at least once during the summer to check out each year’s exhibit. Just to look at the vintage boats up close is enough of a reason to go to the museum, but the bonus is the special exhibits on the

Letting Oﬀ Steam at the NH Boat Museum

This year’s exhibit on steam and boating is very memorable. I started my visit in the gift shop of the museum, where items related to boating are offered. The friendly woman on duty at the front desk greeted me and informed Director of Development, Wendy Stocker, that I was waiting to tour the exhibit with her and to learn more.

Wendy explained, when talking about the current exhibit, “It was a romantic age when lots of steamboats were on Lake Winnipesaukee. Steamboats were a way for boaters to experience nature from the water and vacationers loved them.”Inoticed there are two charming steamboats on display, sitting in the middle of the room (other wooden boats are on display as well). The steamboats are the refurbished Pumpkinseed (circa 1890 to 1910) and the A-Way. Both steamboats are wonderful examples of this type of boat and they take you back

Everyone needs to let off steam from time to time. When we think of doing so, we usually want to get away from day-to-day stresses.

If you like history and the lakes and New Hampshire, you are all set for a visit. If history or boating isn’t really your thing, you will still find

Wendy is very enthusiastic about the steam exhibit and explained what I would be seeing as we entered the dome-shaped building’s exhibit area. (The museum was once a dance hall in a Quonset Hut design, and part of the Allen A Resort. It closed some years ago and the New Hampshire Boat Museum has since used the property and the building for exhibits and classes in boat building.)

The boat had a variety of jobs on the lake, from hauling logs to delivering the mail and providing transportation to passengers. Sadly, the boat burned in 1915. The exhibit shows us photos of the boat in various views and must have at one time been quite a wonderful site on the lake.

wall-sized poster display gives the viewer a timeline of commercial Winnipesaukee Steamboats, from the early 1830 Belknap, a 96-foot passenger and freight steamboat at Lake Village, and on to the Lady of the Lake 126-ft. steamboat (1849 to 1893) that ran between the Weirs and Wolfeboro as a passenger and freight vessel. Other steamboats in the timeline were the James Bell, circa 1859 to 1885, an 85-ft. passenger and freight boat at Lake Village; the SS Mt. Washington, 1872 to 1939 that traveled between Alton and the Weirs and was 178-ft., all the way through the years until the SS Uncle Sam ran from 1907 to 1944.

For many years, the story of the Lady of the Lake has fascinated and been the stuff of stories and legends. Possibly this is because the steamboat is submerged in Glendale Cove not far from the shores of the NH Marine Patrol headquarters in Glendale, New Hampshire. It was originally owned by the Concord and Montreal Railroad and was 125 ft. in length. It carried passengers (capacity of 40 people) to and from the railroad terminus at the Weirs to summer cottages and hotels and for scenic lake trips. Eventually the larger and faster SS Mount Washington came on the scene in 1872. The two ships competed with one another and fought commercial competitions; eventually the Lady was taken out of service in the 1890s. The boat was used then for housing of workers until it was decided to scuttle the Lady in deep water near Rattlesnake Island in the

A native of Nashua, Jeff Rapsis got his start in the world of entertainment while he was an English major at Ford ham University. At the same time he was acquiring the tools that would pre pare him for a thirty-five year career in the newspaper business, he became a fan of old movies, especially comedies.

Directed by Dziga Vertov, the film is part documentary and part cinematic art. It depicts scenes of ordinary daily life in that region of the Soviet Union during the late 1920s. Its depiction of city life is exceptional, even without the aid of titles or narration. Under cur rent circumstances, it behooves all of us to see this gem.

Chaney, Sr. Rather than attempt to use sheet music containing popular tunes,

tal synthesizer. The effort proved to be a big success; so he looked for other opportunities.BetweenMarch and July 2020, COVID-19 brought live performanc es to a screeching halt. Interview ing Rapsis, it is apparent that he still loves performing in front of audienc es. Fortunately for Jeff and audiences throughout New England and within the Midwest, early Fall 2020 saw him back to his schedule of between 100 and 120 silent film screenings per year. Asked if the pace tires him, he laughed, “I only do two shows during the aver age week.” Still, this seems like quite a pace for an artist who always impro vises without the aid of sheet music. In fact, Rapsis has been so busy that he’s “worn out two big ass touch-sensitive keyboards” on his digital synthesizer.

Windham ● Warner Tilton,

A theater organ was designed to re place an entire orchestra and, with proper use of the numerous switches and pedals, a skilled organist could provide a limitless range of sound ef fects. Many were equipped with a mo torized platform that allowed the or ganist to be raised, lowered, and spun around in order to be fully aware of a movie’s scenes and the audience’s re

By Mark FollowingOkrantatwo-year hiatus, I re cently had the privilege of re-inter viewing Jeff Rapsis, a silent movie or ganist, specializing in an art form that was essential during the years before sound became a standard element of moving pictures.

The vast majority of movies released during the first three decades of the twentieth century were strictly visual. Audiences were left to imagine their favorite actors’ voices, and what gun fire or a speeding train sounded like. Those early films also were lacking the beautiful musical scores that current audiences take for granted. Original ly, pit orchestras and pianists provided accompaniment for films. The group size and skill level of those performers varied depending upon the regional lo cation and population density of their communities.Beginningin the 1920s, the Rudolph Wurlitzer Company started building special pipe organs that provided both music and sound effects to accompa ny silent films. Unlike church organs, these had a horseshoe shape arrange ment of stop tabs, or switches, above and around the keyboard. Designed to stand out, rather than hidden in corners, theater organs had gaudy decorations, often including lots of gold trim.

his “big ass” keyboard—to provide needed atmosphere for a century-old medium. But, there is so much more to his performances. While Rapsis uses his improvisational skills to create a rich environment that focuses audienc es’ attention on silent films, his effort does not stop here. The beauty of the experience comes in knitting together a group of strangers into a single com munity. Thus, during a performance, Jeff Rapsis serves as entertainer, audi ence member, and social director.

Jeff Rapsis and Silent Movies: A Formula for Pure Entertainment

Asked to name his favorite films to work with, Rapsis demurred, much like a man questioned about the iden tity of his favorite child. After being pressed, he admitted a special affection for a Ukrainian film released in 1929, titled “Man With a Movie Camera.”

A talented musician, Rapsis thought it would be fun to try accompanying a movie. His first effort was in 2007, when he volunteered to provide mu sic for the 1925 silent movie classic, Phantom of the Opera, starring Lon

At the time, most children walked miles to school, braving rain and snow. School buses were unheard of and if there was a family horse or mule, it was likely busy in the fields and not available to transport young ones to school.

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper

Yesteryear

Conditions in many village schools were par with the rest of society’s housing at the time: a woodstove warmed the space and students were often expected to split and carry wood to feed the heat source; a bucket of water served as refreshment and another was for washing hands. Outside, usually hidden behind bushes, sat the outhouse.InSandwich, NH, the Lower Corner • Yesteryear continued on page 22

Long, long ago, getting an education in New Hampshire wasn’t the convenient thing it is in our current time. As today’s children head back to school soon, or already may have done so, they bring backpacks, lunchboxes and pens and paper. Of course, the latest in cell phones and computer systems are alsoButavailable.inthetimes of their great-great grandparents, schooling was quite different. In New Hampshire, as in other states, if a child reached the eighth grade and was still a pupil, he/she was very fortunate. Many left earlier to help the family by going to work. And some left school to help their fathers farm their land.

kins start a private high school in the Vestry of the town’s Baptist church. The school was in session from 1836 to 1847, according to Ashland, New Hampshire Centennial 1868 to 1968. She was said to be a wonderful teacher and parents and students alike sang her praises. Indeed, she must have been a good teacher with a love for passing on knowledge because she eventually married Oren Cheney and together, they helped found Bates College.

One community that valued educaiton was that of the Canterbury Shakers. The schoolhouse they built, and the schooling children received there was good. The Shakers took in many children who had lost their parents or had been left with the Shakers due to lifeThecircumstances.childrenhad to be housed and educated and the Canterbury Shakers did both quite willingly. By the 1820s, the Shakers had a schoolhouse for children living among them. However, one could not call it a schoohouse as we think of a small, rather crude structure. Although it had been a one-room school

Page 20 | THE LAKER August 29, 2022

The Village School in Moultonborough was the place the town’s students attended for many years. During the early part of the 1900s, the school was located opposite the Moultonboro Town House and was a one-room school. By 1913, the town improved the school as the population grew. An assistant teacher was hired in the 1920s and the school was divided, and two regular teachers were hired. A jacketed stove was secured for the school and a note in town reports for 1923 stated, “The new stove makes it possible to have the rooms comfortable as far as the heat is concerned.”

Boys and girls at one time, attended school at different months of the year, following the Shaker belief of separation of males and females. Whatever the belief system, the Shakers taught their children well and they had, for the time period, wonderful surroudings in which to learn.

In the 1880s in Ashland, grammar school students were required to take an exam written by the school board each term. Pupils had to answer 60 percent of the test questions correctly in order to advance to the next grade. Old schoolhouses – usually of the one room variety — were a part of the American landscape for decades. Ask any older person and they once may have attended a one-room schoolhouse. These charming little buildings were every town’s answer to education and local children from age 5 to 15 or more all sat in one room, taught by a single adult woman or man.

Back to School in Days Gone By

1920s. “As I remember, when this school was first built there was a big stove with a jacket around it in the back corner of the room. In the winter when it was real cold she (the teacher) would have us gather around the stove for our classes. It wasn’t long before they put in a furnace with steam radiators.”

in its early days, by 1863, the Shakers moved the buiding and revamped it, adding on until it was two stories. For its time, it was quite a good place to get an educaiton, with a playground, well lit and ventilated rooms, and even an arboretum for the study of nature. It was known as the best equipped school in the town of Canterbury, and may have been among the best in the central New Hampshire area.

Children in the Cook settlement in Moultonborough had a schoolhouse near a spring. The school building was modest in size; one child who attended the school was said to be the envy of all the other students because he could coast down from his home to the schoolhouse door in snowy winter weather, according to Moultonborough to the 20th Century, a publication of the Moultonborough Historical Society Bicentennial Issue 1963. Many children had quite a walk to get to school – down a steep hill, through fields and over stonewalls and fences. Even with the arduous walk each day, some students were said to have good or perfect attendance.InGilford, the District 9 Schoolhouse was built in 1815, and later altered to fit more children and changing designs for buildings. There were other schoolhouses in Gilford long ago, due to the fact that the children were spread out all over the area and it would have been impossible to travel for miles to reach school each day. Thus, a schoolhouse in each district of the town was theInanswer.the1830s, Ashland, New Hampshire, like many New England communities, was remote.

By the 1800s schools were built in New Durham. In the late 1800s, im-

School was a place of learning in the mid and late 1800s. The school began in 1825 as the John Quincy Adams School. At that time, citizens in Sandwich voted a tax to build a schoolhouse. The school was small with a plank door, tiny windows placed high and underpinnings of stone. A big fireplace heated the building. Four-foot wood fed the fire that kept teacher and students warm during the cold winters. Fireplaces are notorious for providing uneven heat and this one, as the former student recalled, provided heat that “burned the face while the back was freezing.” Students who sat at the back of the room took turns moving to the front to get warm during the day.

provements were made with the installation of blackboards, iron stoves and desks.Further north in the Plymouth, NH area, the village of Dorchester had a small schoolhouse that was built in 1808 and originally called the North District School. It was used as a oneroom school for area children until 1926.At excellent preserved one room schoolhouse is part of the Wolfeboro Historical Society on South Main Street. The Clark House Museum Complex of structures is at the site, including the Pleasant Valley School.

In 1959 the old schoolhouse was moved to its present location at the Clark Museum Complex. (To tour the schoolhouse museum during seasonal hours, call the Wolfeboro Historical Society at 603-569-4997.)

In the 1880s the school was renamed the Lower Corner School. By the 1930s an addition brought indoor toilet and storage facilities to the school and a playground.Ontheother side of Lake Winnipesaukee, schooling was important in New Durham. The town’s original land grand specified that a portion of the community’s money be set aside for a schoolhouse. In 1779 the town raised money to hire a town school and for some years after, money was voted for schooling. At this time there were no school houses in the town and school masters were hired. The teachers traveled from town to town, boarding with different families. They taught the children of the area the basics: reading, writing and spelling.

The one room school was built about 1805 on land in South Wolfeboro known as Pleasant Valley according to information at www.wolfeborohistoricalsociety.org. Known for some time as District #3 School, some residents called it the Townsend School, because it was close to the home of Reverend Isaac Townsend, Wolfeboro’s first minister.The school was adequate by standards of the time, as were most in New England. Local children learned to make do. All grades were taught in the one room. The enrollment of students ranged from 20 to 50.

Kathy Tetreault, the LRTC Principal, agreed, “This was quite a project for our students and staff. LRTC will continue to support the efforts and the mission of community partnerships like this one.”

After the students’ scope of work was complete, Cody Fosbrook, a metalworker who used to volunteer for

G.A.L.A. many years ago, made the voyage from his current home in Vermont to weld the handrail: something that needed to be “graspable” per code regulations. Cody then passed the baton to master craftsman and volunteer, Jim Perkins. Jim took it over from here installing the balusters and building the front desk, which incorporated oak slabs as the countertop that were once the sides of bookshelves at Wolfeboro Public Library before renovations, adding to the upcycled theme of the entire project.

The outcome is stunning. Anyone walking into Makers Mill will be met by this functional art, made out of reclaimed wood from a version of the building now barely recognizable, prepared and fine-tuned by so many different people along the way, oozing with character and creativity, saying “welcome, come on in”. This feature will be appreciated for many years to come and set the tone for what is possible within these walls.

Makers Mill volunteer, Jim Perkins built the front greeter’s desk using reclaimed wood salvaged from the construction project, which was ripped to size by students from Lakes Region Technology Center.

When you walk in the front door at Makers Mill, the community makerspace and vocation hub opening soon at 23 Bay St. Wolfeboro, NH, you will be standing in front of a collaborative, functional piece of art that reflects the mission and values of this nonprofit organization.Thefront desk and main staircase are not only pleasing to the eye, but the story of their construction embodies so much of what Makers Mill stands for - creativity, collaboration, upcycling, economic development, and community.That story began with the decision to salvage the 2’x6’ boards from the upstairs floor that had to be replaced. The easy thing to do would have been to toss those boards in the dumpster. Instead, each board was de-nailed by volunteers with the intention of repurposing them for the front desk and stair balusters of the main entry.

Last winter and spring, the school bus dropped the students off on Bay Street late morning, a few days a week, where they would setup shop and chip away at the metal installation - fastening, bending, grinding, and welding for many weeks, finishing up just in time for summer “Partneringvacation.withLRTC was one of my favorite parts of this entire construction project,” reflects Josh Arnold, Makers Mill Executive Director. “It was especially fun watching the Construction Trades students collaborate with the Precision Manufacturing stu-

The reclaimed and de-nailed boards were then brought to Lakes Region Technology Center (LRTC) where students in the Construction Trades class taught by Tyler Reed proceeded to rip the boards into 1.5”x1.5” slats: the future balusters. Volunteers then continued the project by sanding and oiling these slats with a naturally derived Heritage Oil finish.

While the construction trades students were busy making the balusters, the Precision Manufacturing students, led by Scott Meserve, were fabricating the angle iron posts and cutting the sheet metal in their classroom.

can be blamed on the popularity of the Super Bowl and how Super Bowl parties became a ginormous thing years ago, and with those parties, chicken wings were given their opportunity to truly shine. Since then, they are a restaurant staple and for a good reason. With the thigh a very close second, the wing is definitely my favorite part of our comical little barnyard friend. The restaurant world cooks their wings in the fryer, which gives them that nice crispy texture, which is always a popular factor, and when done on the grill, you can get a good crispy wing as well. Spicy is always a popular aspect of most wings, but usually combined with sweet, which is what we have here with a spicy apricot wing recipe, combined with using wood chips, ideally apple or apricot chips. I usually grill the wings whole by folding the tip under the wing forging a triangle of sorts. As they

‘Cue The Grill Labor Day Grilling

The next appetizer has more of a Polynesian theme, combining beef and pineapple with a scrumptious parsley and garlic sauce, done skewer style. Back in the day, I did these regularly with beef tenderloin, making for an amazingly tender appetizer. Nowadays, I don’t consider tenderloin quite as important if using a needling tenderizer. It’s amazing how a lesser expensive cut of meat can become so tender, especially with the right mar• ‘Cue the Grill

Since the best-selling appetizer nationwide for many years has been chicken wings, let’s start there. It cracks me up that way back when in my restaurant days 40+ years ago, wings were pretty much given away by our purveyors as nobody used them, not to mention at any supermarket. Butcher shops would literally give them away. They are now the most expensive part of the bird. Go figure! Much of that

½ cup hickory, apple, or apricot wood chips

continued on page 25

1 tsp sweet paprika

1 tbsp kosher salt

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tbsp Dijon mustard

Start your grill. Wrap the wood chips in heavy-duty foil and pierce the foil packet with a skewer a few times. Add the packet to the grill. Close the lid and let the wood chips begin to smoke, 5-10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the apricot preserves with the Worcestershire sauce, light brown sugar, soy sauce, mustard, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, sweet paprika, cayenne and ginger. Scrape half of the mixture into a small bowl. Add the chicken wings to the large bowl and toss to coat well in the sauce. Let the chicken wings stand for 10-15 minutes. Grill the chicken wings, covered, over moderately high heat, turning them occasionally, until they are charred in spots and cooked through, 22-25 minutes. In the last 10 minutes, brush the wings on both sides with the remaining sauce. Transfer the chicken wings to a platter and serve with carrot and celery sticks if wanted, as well as blue cheese or ranch dressing. These are fun and yummy and deliciously messy, so have a roll of paper towels on hand.

2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Well, it’s official, most kids are back in school now. It’s very hard to believe it’s time for me to start my article to get ready for some fun Labor Day grilling when it feels like I just wrote the Memorial Day article a few weeks ago.

I’ve got some with chicken, some beef, some seafood, some tacos, a sandwich, upscale dinners, and some classic vegetarian grilling. Of course, how could I leave you without adding a great dessert as well, so let’s eat, starting with a couple of appetizers.

3 tbsp red wine vinegar

then cut into cubes. If you don’t own a needling tenderizer, first, get one, and second, use a fork for the time being. Place the beef in the medium bowl with the parsley sauce. Toss well until the beef is coated with the mixture. Cov er and refrigerate for 3 hours or more. Heat your well-oiled grill to medi um-high. Thread the skewers starting with a piece of pineapple, then a cube of beef. Repeat the process. Continue with the remaining skewers. Grill the skewers for 2 to 3 minutes each side or so for medium rare or until your de sired doneness. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with remaining sauce. Devour!

them and most carnivores do as well, which makes them a huge staple in most any chef’s repertoire of recipes. This mushroom taco recipe is not only highly original, the flavor blast in this one is just darn good. Besides grilling the portabella mushrooms, we also grill some corn to make an amazing salsa to go with these tacos. One similarity this one does have to the last one is that it makes 8 tacos for 4 people and does take about a half hour.

inade. This recipe calls for 2 pounds of beef, give or take, cutting it into ¾ - 1-inch cubes. As for the skewers, you can make 20 smaller skewers with 2 pieces of beef on each with fresh pineapple chunks or make them with 4 pieces of each. I find much depends on how many people you are serving combined with the rest of the menu. If I was serving 6 people, I would likely make 12 skewers. If I was entertaining 10, I would make 20 smaller versions. The choice is yours, as always. Prep/ cook time is quick, but I do suggest let ting them marinate for 3 or more hours.

I want to share a couple of fun taco recipes now, and they really couldn’t be much different. Fresh tuna is the centerpiece of the first one and mush rooms play lead on the second. It’s not just the centerpiece that makes them different but also their accoutrements. The tuna recipe makes 8 tacos for 4 lucky eaters and the process shouldn’t take much longer than a half hour. Be tween the outstanding flavor that this one packs, it has an awesome super crunch to it.

• ‘Cue the Grill continued on page 26

2/3 cup olive oil

For the Parsley Sauce

style. The mushrooms used for this are maitakes, which is chock full of vitamin C and has a very earthy peppery flavor that does mellow when cooked. When selecting maitake mushrooms, you want them tender, pliable, and damp, but not slimy. Skip any that are dry, tough, or brittle. This sandwich also comes with its own BBQ sauce and a crunchy, vinegar spiked slaw. This sandwich is outstanding. Plan on 45-60 minutes, although the slaw and sauce can be done earlier to make production quicker. This serves 4.

Speaking of mushrooms, it’s time to share a sandwich which is fairly new to my catalogue of recipes and it’s a great vegetarian twist on a classic. Instead of a pulled pork sandwich, this bad boy is a pulled mushroom sandwich, BBQ

will likely have you starting your shopping list with the ingredients to put this dish together. How does a bacon onion marmalade sauce sound? I knew that would grab ya! Although the sauce is made in a skillet and the chops are grilled then finished in the skillet with the sauce, I generally do it all on the grill. This dish is for 4 and should be done in 30-35 minutes

2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

1 cup finely chopped sweet onion, about ½ large ½ cup sour cream

To make the sauce, in a blender or food processor, blend all ingredients until smooth. Preheat your very clean and oiled grill to medium-high. In a medium bowl, toss cabbage with carrot, cilantro, mayonnaise, and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. In a large bowl, break the mushrooms into large pieces by hand and toss with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill, turning a few times, until mushrooms are browned and charred in spots, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a large heatproof bowl. Using two forks, shred into bitesize pieces. Toss mushrooms with as much or as little barbecue sauce that suits your taste. Butter and toast cut sides of buns on grill, about 1 minute. Spoon mushroom mixture and slaw on bottoms of buns, add tops, and serve immediately.Ifmostofyou are anything like me, when it comes to grilling, pork is more of an afterthought. I’m usually all about the beef, seafood, and chicken most of the time. This year however with the crazy high prices, pork has been making a comeback in my house as it is less expensive than the others, and when done right, pork is outstanding. When cooked right, a nice moist pork chop or roast is delicious. The sauce accompanying this pork recipe

2 tsp paprika

Heat your grill to medium high on one side and on low on the other. In a large skillet, ideally a cast iron skillet, over medium-high heated side, melt butter and sauté onion 6 to 8 minutes or until soft. Add garlic, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, and ¼ tsp each of salt and pepper, heat 3 to 4 minutes or until slightly thickened. Stir in bacon and set aside to the low temp side. Season the chops with remaining salt and pepper on both sides and pop the chops on your greased grill on the medium high side and cook 6 to 8 minutes per side or until the pork is still slightly pink in the middle. Transfer the chops to the pan of sauce, move to the hot side and cook for another 2 minutes, flip them, and continue, spooning bacon and onion mixture over pork chops while you go. Once ready, serve and top them with the marmalade. This could easily fall into your frequent flyer recipe guide. We are going back to the ocean for the next one, this time a melt in your mouth swordfish dish. I would be willing to bet that 90% of grilled swordfish recipes are marinated prior to hitting the barbie, but not this one, mainly because of the amazing Mediterranean home made dressing that you will top it with. When shopping for your swordfish, look for steaks at least 1 inch thick, ideally even thicker. Considering no marinating time, this recipe is arguably the quickest to put together of the day, and quality does not suffer

½ cup water

Heat grill to medium-high. In a small bowl, whisk together 5 tbsp oil, 1 tbsp lime juice, and 2 tsp chipotle sauce and brush mixture onto both sides of mushrooms. Season generously with salt. In a large bowl, stir together lime zest, remaining 1 tbsp lime juice, and onion and season with salt and pepper. In another small bowl, combine remaining 2 tsp chipotle sauce, sour cream, and 1 tbsp water, season with salt. Grill corn, turning occasionally until well charred in most places, about 6-8 minutes. Grill mushrooms, flipping once, until charred in places, 3-4 minutes a side. Once done, cut mushrooms into ½ inch planks and transfer to a plate. Cut kernels off cobs, stir into onion mixture with remaining 1 tbsp oil. Season with salt and pepper. Grill tortillas, flipping once, 10-20 seconds. Top tortillas with sour cream mixture, mushrooms, corn salsa, and cilantro and serve.

utes, rotate them with a ¼ turn to give good diamond markings, let go another 2-3 minutes then gently flip them over. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the flesh is opaque and just barely cooked through, usually at about 130-135 de grees if using a thermometer. Plate the swordfish with your favorite sides and spoon some dressing over each sword fish hunk and serve with remaining dressing in a sauce dish or gravy boat. I feel confident the sauce will be gone when dinner is done. The dressing can be done the day before and kept refrig erated, but make sure it is at room temp at service, pulled maybe a couple of hours prior to dinner.

Let’s bust out a killer ribeye recipe now before sharing a great Labor Day dessert. This is another upscale dinner done in record time that is as scrump tious as it gets, of course it doesn’t hurt using a grilled ribeye. Ribeye is my favorite cut of steak as the fat con tent makes for the best flavor, plus it’s tender as you know what. Win/Win! Let’s add another “win” in that this gets topped with an apple radish cham pagne vinegar sauce that works well with this, as well as any other hunk of beef you grill up. To go according to form, this feeds 4 and cooks up in shy of a half an hour.

The possibilities are endless – just start out with something small if you’re a beginner and work your way to creat ing your own closet!

If you must buy something new ly made, try shopping sustainably by using clothing companies and brands that prioritize the environment. For example, companies can use recycled materials or have recycled clothing programs to reduce waste in the man ufacturing process. A company with these services would be more environ mentally friendly than one that rapid ly releases new clothing items for fast fashion trends. Materials are also an important factor when considering en vironmental impact; polyester, for ex ample, could be even more damaging to the environment. Look for clothing companies that consider the environ mental impact of packaging, delivering and producing clothing. For a better idea of sustainable companies, check out the goodonyou directory, which describes the practices and policies of

Shopping in Style and Sustainability

Ever think about how much clothing you purchase? Many of us today are part of the “fast fashion” movement –the latest fashion trend that consists of rapidly produced, inexpensive cloth ing – which encourages consumers to purchase and discard clothing at a new fleeting pace. While it can be fun to switch up your style and add to your wardrobe during shopping trips, par taking in the fast fashion culture can be detrimental to the environment.

sides in-person thrifting stores, there are online stores for used clothing. If you want a more personal and local experience, try organizing a clothing swap with some of your friends or your community. Who knows, you might just find hidden treasures – something unique, vintage or stylish – from your neighbor’s unwanted clothing. Swap ping your style with used clothing is a great way to freshen up your closet while also helping out your wallet and theSometimesenvironment.your old clothing can be turned into a whole new look with a few modifications. “Upcycling” allows you to creatively reuse products by transforming them into something new. For example, you can change the fit of clothes with a little cutting and sewing or change the color with some dye. You can also repair a shirt that might be missing a button or ripping along the seam. Being crafty with upcycling can help you greatly reduce the amount of clothes you buy and then throw away.

Back-to-School

clothing companies, as well as their levels of transparency. With these con siderations, you can make informed decisions about where you purchase your clothing and analyze the ethical and environmental practices of com panies.Adding to your closet sustainably is great, but what should you do with your old, unwearable clothes? Fortu nately, there are lots of ways to discard your outgrown or worn-out clothing without producing more waste. If your clothing is in good condition, hand it down or donate it to contribute to the second-hand clothing cycle. Clothes that are no longer wearable can be re cycled at a facility that will repurpose it. There are organizations and busi nesses that take old clothing and tex tiles and restore them to fiber, which is then used to manufacture all new prod ucts. That means that even your old, raggy T-shirt can have a new life with recycling. To find textile recycling fa cilities near you, check out Earth911’s recycling locator. By discarding your clothing sustainably, you can help to limit the amount of waste generated in the fast fashion culture.

Constantly buying new clothes for your growing child puts strains on your wallet and the environment. This back-to-school shopping season, re think how you look at shopping and try some of these second-hand techniques. By the end of your second-hand cloth ing experience, you will be wondering how saving the environment could look so good!

One way you can break this cycle of environmental impacts is to try out some second-hand, or “slow fashion,” trends this shopping season; your kids can go back to school sustainably, af fordably and in style.

According to the EPA, it’s estimat ed that17 million tons of textiles were generated in the United States in 2018 alone, with 11.3 million tons of those clothes being discarded in the landfill. Some articles of clothing can take over 200 years to degrade, depending on the material, and clothing production con sumes massive amounts of the world’s precious water supply. Aside from the impact on our waste streams, the fash ion industry also contributes to carbon emissions, being responsible for 10% of global emissions.

One easy way to swap up your style is through thrifting. Thrifting allows you to purchase second-hand clothes that would otherwise be wasted. This “slow fashion” trend can help you swap up your style affordably while also reducing clothing waste. If you are a little hesitant to begin sifting through your local Goodwill or Saver’s, there are plenty of other ways to thrift! Be

Unfortunately, when an airplane falls from the sky, the impact is seldom minor, and the results can be disastrous. According to the research team of Panish, Shea, Boyle and Ravipudi, “aviation accident rates have gone down in recent years, but the growing popularity of travel by private jet and helicopter threatens that trend.”

nor injuries by 56 percent.

Peter Noddin, the region’s leading aviation archaeologist, began searching for lost aircraft in Maine during his high school years, in the early 1980s. Noddin became serious about this endeavor during the mid-1990s, several years after graduating from the University of Maine. First, he researched old maps in an effort to locate lost historic military equipment. Subsequent-

According to National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) data, at a time when there are millions of flight hours, the percentage of trips that produce fatal crashes is a fraction of one percent. For example, during a recent calendar year, airplanes produced 0.01 deaths per million miles traveled, while train travel produced 0.04 deaths. Panish, Shea, Boyle and Ravipudi tell us that 80 percent of all aviation accidents are the product of some type of human error, with nearly one-half occurring during times when planes are taking off or landing. Pilot error is thought to account for a majority (53%) of aircraft accidents, followed by mechanical failure (21%), and weather conditions (11%).During 2022, there have been two fatal airplane crashes involving large commercial aircraft. In three other incidents this year, no loss of life occurred. A table depicting air crashes between 1982 and 2018 indicates that the numbers of crashes, fatal injuries, serious injuries, and minor injuries have diminished significantly over that 37-year period—crashes were down by 56 percent, fatal injuries by 47 percent, serious injuries by 53 percent, and mi-

A History of Airplane Crashes in New Hampshire

Most of us would be surprised to learn that there have been nearly one thousand military aircraft crashes here in northern New England. In Maine alone, there were 741 military aircraft involved in accidents between 1919 and 1989. Many of those crashes involved planes being delivered to the warfront during World War II.

ly, Noddin’s research repertoire continued to evolve. To increase his success rate, he began collecting and studying old newspaper clippings . . . anything with a story about an airplane that never reached its destination. This led him to seek out sources that provided military records. Owing to his growing range of resources, Noddin once located two F86 Saber crash sites in one day. During the last several decades, as Noddin became more successful at finding lost aircraft, he discovered that there are people throughout the United States with similar motivations; thus, a network was born.

When was asked to describe the aviation archaeology situation in New Hampshire, Noddin replied, “a quick scan of records and our data base shows that there were 238 military aircraft crashes in the state. Many of New Hampshire’s crashes were at or near Grenier Field/AFB in Manchester.”

Grenier Field was located at the site of the present Manchester-Boston Regional Airport. Noddin indicated that numerous crashes of the Army Air Corps’ B24 and B17 aircraft occurred at Grenier Field, and in surrounding areas, during World War II. Grenier had served as a staging base for aircraft headed to the European theater. There also were occasional fighter plane crashes in the region following the war. Other New Hampshire military airplane crash sites include a T33 plane crash in Spofford, and a B52 crash in

region. However, with the passage of time, many of these people are no longer alive. Aiding Noddin’s current searches is a modern piece of technology— the GPS. For Noddin and his fellow aviation archaeologists, the availability of this navigation tool has proven to be a mixed blessing. At a time when modern logging practices have opened up formerly remote areas, accessibility in conjunction with the GPS have made crash sites reachable by souvenir hunters. The latter have had a detrimental impact on those wishing to document crash histories, and their efforts to help surviving family members get answers about loved ones.
