Pow Wow at Mother Earth’s Creations in Ossipee

By Sarah Wright Have you ever wondered what happens at a traditional Native American pow wow? If you’d like to observe or participate in this ceremony that features singing, dancing, and feasting, you can join Mother Earth’s Creations on September 15 and 16 from 10 am to 5:30 pm. The general public is welcome to watch as participants honor their Native American communities and cultures. Even if you do not have Native American heritage in your family tree or are affiliated with a Nations Belief, Mother Earth’s Creations encourages you to attend the pow wow to see what it’s all about.

The pow wow begins at 10 am with flute players, a song and chant with hand drummers, and other Native folk musicians. Announcements and an opening prayer will be given at noon, followed by the Grand Entry opening ceremony. It will feature three honoring songs for the participants and the heritage that they represent. The Grand Entry Song honors all of the different Nations participants that have joined the gathering; the Flag Song

honors the flag of the Nation, and all of the Native American Nations flags that fly within our country; and finally, the Veteran’s Song, which honors the

sacrifice of all the Veterans who are visitors or participants in the pow wow.

Drumming and dancing will follow the songs.

From 2 to 3 pm, visitors will delight in the tales of traditional storytellers and the talents of Native-style musicians.

This will be followed by more drumming and dancing, with a brief intermission at 4 pm for the daily raffle drawing. The Retiring of the Flags and the closing songs of the pow wow will begin at 5 pm with the grounds closing to the public at 5:30 pm.

Throughout the day, there will also be Native games to try, a wigwam to explore, the Antique Arbor with artifacts like crafts, utensils, and clothing on display, and 20 Native vendors offering unique items for sale.

In a demonstration area, a tanner and trapper will show how various Native materials were made. In the same area, there is also a traditional cooking display, and a Navaho Rug Loom that you can add a sting to. If you get hungry, food is available at the Kook Shack, and will include elk, buffalo, venison burgers, buffalo stew and chili, corn chowder, and traditional fry bread.

The Intertribal Pow Wow Grounds serve as a gathering place, and not as a Reservation. Before you enter the grounds, you’ll notice a basket to the left of the entrance. This is called a Burden Basket. Take a pinch of tobacco from the adjacent bowl and hold it to your heart. Imagine all of your troubles, woes, work issues, and conflicts that could hold you back from having a good time. With an open mind, place the pinch of tobacco into the basket to allow the Creator to deal with your “burdens” for the day, so that you can come in and see things with a child’s eye and experience something new.

The grounds are supported through donations and raffles, so just inside the Main Gate Arbor is the donation box • Pow Wow Continued on page 3

• Pow Wow Continued from page 2 and a display case of the daily raffle prizes. You’ll then experience the tastes and smells emanating from the Feasting Area. When nomadic tribes came together for pow wows, they would have a centrally located area for the preparation, cooking, and serving of the food that was offered. A group attending one of these gatherings would bring prepared and unprepared foods, including breads, fruit, berries, nuts, herbs, roots, meats, vegetables, syrups, and candies, etc.

As each group arrived, a person was selected to present the food that their group brought. It would be placed with the collection to create the feast meal. Many would also offer their time to assist with the preparation, cooking, and/or serving of the food.

Sharing an offering of food was a very respectful and honorable gift to the gathering and to all of those attending.

The small amount of food brought by each group put together would feed everyone. Soups and stews were the main staple for most gatherings, because they could feed so many.

When the food was ready, first a “Spirit Plate” sampling was brought out into the woods as an offering to the Nature Spirits for the nourishment. The Elders in the group would be served first, followed by the individuals performing at the gathering.

Take time to reflect at the Bridge of Memories, or Memory Bridge, which was created by members of Mother Earth’s Creations to honor those who

assisted in the construction of the grounds, sharing ideas to help educate and honor the people, unseen warriors who protected the people attending gatherings, others who participated in most of the events offered at the grounds, and selected Elders that dedicated their time and energy, and showed great honor to the people. It is believed that those who have passed away to the Great Mystery can look down upon the gathering and watch over the participants.

Another place of honor and meditation at Mother Earth’s Creations is the Grandfather Maple Tree. When the property was first walked upon years ago, a huge 400- to 600-year-

L I V I N G RUST I C

old Silver Leaf Maple tree stood in the center of it. The “Grandparents” of the grounds told those of Mother Earth’s Creations that they would picnic under the shade of its leaves in the 1950s.

Trees took over the field, and some were cleared to honor the tree again.

Grandmother Moon Flower named

it Grandfather Maple Tree. In April 2004, a wind storm broke off the large, towering limbs. What’s left of the tree is now a place to reflect and honor the Elders.

The 28-foot Sacred Fire Lodge was built over the “Sacred Fire” to protect and secure it during public hours. The fire was created in the center of the grounds, and the pit was constructed from stones obtained, gifted, and purchased from all over the world.

People have also added stones around the pit that they gathered from other sacred, spiritual sites. The Sacred Fire is kindled with flint and steel on Friday evening around 5 pm of a gathering, and is tended 24 hours a day until the last person leaves that gathering.

Anyone who wishes to offer their prayers for the gathering is welcome to join the “awakening” of the fire.

Mother Earth’s Creations, LLC, is located at 2145 White Mountain Highway in Center Ossipee. Direction signs will be placed along the road to help visitors find the pow wow. For more information about the event, call the grounds at 603-539-6697. Come out and experience a truly unique event!

“Music You Will Never Hear” Author Book Signing Author Angelo Kaltsos will be at White Birch Books in North Conway on Tuesday, August 21 from 3 to 5 pm for a signing of his latest book, Music You Will Never Hear.

In 1946, when 19 year-old William “Bill” Goudas was recruited to assist in a daring late-evening burglary, he never would have guessed the night would end with the tragic murder of police sergeant William F. Healey. Presenting a true tale of crime and tragedy, Music You Will Never Hear recounts the events of that October evening decades ago, as told by author Angelo J.

TAMWORTH - Peace and quiet abound in beautifully maintained Chocorua Meadows. Well landscaped green common areas with an inviting pool and tennis courts. 3-bedroom Colonial home on a tranquil cul-desac. Every detail has been carefully thought out to make this home the perfect spot. MLS#4694908 - $369,900

Kaltsos, Goudas’s nephew.

Goudas was a talented musician and had dreams of attending the New England Conservatory of Music, but his dreams were not to come true. Instead, he would spend a large portion of his adult life in prison, leaving his talent to be displayed as a prison musician and his family forever affected by the events.

From his arrest to his time in confinement to the time spent with him after parole, Kaltsos relates the story of his uncle’s wasted life. This personal narrative, presented from a family member’s perspective, describes

the killing of a police sergeant and the killer’s unknown, extraordinary gift as a prison musician.

Angelo J. Kaltsos performed topsecret research and production on the first B-1 bomber Doppler navigational system.

He also conducted environmental research for the first flight to the moon. Kaltsos retired after 20 years of teaching high school

electronics and science in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and now lives and writes in rural Maine off the grid.

Greater Ossipee Area Chamber of Commerce Tees Up for Annual Event If you like competitive golfing and want to get out on the course for a great cause, plan to compete in the Greater Ossipee Area Chamber of Commerce (GOACC) Annual Golf Tournament, which will take place on Wednesday, August 22 at Indian Mound Golf Club in Ossipee, NH. The day begins with a hot breakfast at 7 am, and then it is on to the competition, with an 8:30 am shot gun start!

The day will be filled with golfing fun and competition, including a $10K Cash Hole-in-One Prize; Golf Ball Cannon Shot Tee, 5 “Par 3” Closest to Pin, 50/50 Putting Green, Closest to Line, Ladies’ and Men’s Longest Drive, and Low Gross/first, second and third place net prizes.

As any golfer will tell you, it gets hot when playing the game, and so beverage stations and a gourmet hot dog stand will keep golfers cool…and well fed. (There will be a luncheon as well.)

There will be many prizes and raffles

and a really fun day for all who attend.

The golfing event benefits the GOACC Scholarship Fund, and is definitely a worthy cause. The proceeds of the GOACC’s annual golf tournament have enabled the Chamber to award well over $1000,000 in scholarships to local students pursuing further education. (Each year scholarship monies are presented by the GOACC to deserving students. The object is to offer financial assistance in the form of scholarships to area people who will be entering college in the fall of each year. Eligible people must physically reside in the towns of Effingham, Freedom, Madison, Ossipee, Sandwich, or Tamworth and attend Kennett, Kingswood, Community School of Tamworth, Interlakes or enroll in an Adult Tutorial Program.)

Help MMRG Conserve 320 Acres

By MMRG Executive Director Patti Connaughton-Burns Landowner Stephen Snow has agreed to place a conservation easement on 320 acres of his land on the Tumbledown Dick in Brookfield, NH. The Tumbledown Dick rises up for approximately 1,100 feet, to the northwest of Moose Mountains and can be viewed from Route 109 across both Lake Wentworth and Kingswood Lakes. The landowner is electing to put this land into conservation as a gift to his family, friends, community, to future generations, and to wildlife.

Conserving land with a conservation easement means that the owner has voluntarily agreed to forfeit future development rights and to protect the land, forever. This property will stay in current use as a working forest that provides income to the landowner’s family and tax revenues to the town after a timber harvest. Timber harvests will be done in accordance with an approved management plan. The land will never be commercially mined, or developed with houses, lights, town roads, windmills, or solar panels.

It will continue to provide scenic views and be used for educational purposes and public access for low impact recreation and responsible hunting. It will also protect wildlife habitat, greenway corridors and water resources, and it will preserve historical features like cellar holes.

The project is also consistent with the Town of Brookfield’s Master Plan recommendations for the area, which include forestry and conservation.

After working this land for more than 20 years, Snow expresses his passion for the land as he hikes along the woods roads of his working forest.

Snow’s focus and hard work to enhance the land’s natural and economic values are evident. Using his forest management plan, scientific curiosity, and tenacious perseverance, Snow has thoughtfully improved the timber stand by encouraging re-growth of the land’s oak and pines, managing invasive beech

seedlings, and improving soils. Snow has paid attention to preserving lesser known hardwoods that make up the mid-canopy and enhance the forest’s overall health, like yellow birch and hackberry. His forestry practices also protect and enhance the wetlands and streams on the property. With funding and guidance from the NH Department of Fish & Game, Snow converted about 12 acres to grassland, thereby increasing the land’s biodiversity.

It was no great surprise to Snow that Moose Mountain Regional Greenway’s (MMRG) Conservation Action Plan (CAP) recognizes the area as a Tier 1 Conservation Focus Area or that the CAP’s Priority 1 Greenway traverses the land as it extends from the south in Strafford, through New Durham, into the Moose Mountains, across the Tumbledown Dick and north towards Ossipee. Snow’s property abuts 360 acres of already conserved lands that include the Wentworth Watershed Association’s Warren Brook Conservation Area and the MMRG Split Rock Conservation Area. The land is proximate to an additional 4,500 acres of connected conservation land that includes the Moose Mountains Reservation and Ellis Hatch WMA. The Nature Conservancy (TNC) maps

provide critically important protection to the lakes.

Sarah Tierney, Brewster Academy Science Teacher and author of the 2014 Kingswood Lake Management Plan explained that “Conservation of land around Kingswood Lake, such as the land adjacent to Tumbledown Dick Road, benefits the water quality greatly not only for Kingswood Lake but also Lake Wentworth.

vegetation that allows for the nitrates and phosphates to filter through the sediments instead of running directly into the lake which could cause eutrophication, algae blooms, and dead zones. Establishing conservation land to help keep our watershed intact is beneficial to the [lake’s] water quality”.

In the lakes communities there are stories of generations of adventurous kids who canoed across the two lakes to climb Tumbledown Dick. The trails from the east and Tumbledown Dick Road offer moderately-easy, familyfriendly hikes through forests, past meadows and wetlands, with occasional views of Kingswood Lake when foliage has fallen. From Pleasant Valley Road in Wolfeboro (northwestern), the trails offer a challenging climb to talus slopes and ledges with terrific views of the Moose Mountains, Copple Crown, the Belknaps, and Lake Wentworth.

There are about 12 acres of wetlands on the property. Wetlands are often described as nature’s cradle of life because they support algae, other microorganisms and the eggs and larvae of insects, fish, and amphibians.

These life forms in turn feed reptiles, birds, and mammals. After a few hours of exploring the property it is clear why the TNC ranks 64 percent of the property as “above average for biodiversity.” NH Wildlife Action Plan rates the property as the Tier 1 Wildlife Habitat, the state’s highest-ranking habitat.

There are confirmed economic benefits from land conservation. In New Hampshire, many conservation easements are written to permit forestry and farming in accordance with best management practices and regularly updated plans. From each cut, the forest products provide income for families and tax revenues for the towns. As a secondary benefit, the

property values of lands with a view of the conserved parcel, such as the homes and camps along Kingswood Lake and Lake Wentworth, directly benefit from the conservation because their views will never be marred by development on Snow’s property.

Snow’s conservation easement will assure that the land is open to the public for low-impact recreation and hunting.

MMRG will periodically conduct guided walks and birding events on the land. The land owner will continue to use the property for seminars on timber stand improvement and timbering safety through professional forestry organizations. Stephen Snow wants to preserve the land “in perpetuity” so others may experience the wild beauty of this land and so that the land can continue to provide an economic benefit to future land owners and tax revenue for the town.

Land trusts like MMRG raise transaction and stewardship costs in order to conserve lands like the Snow Family Conservation Area and to steward them, forever. This fundraising campaign was initiated on July 1, 2018; MMRG will update information as grants are awarded and as the fundraising progresses. To be successful, the project must raise $187,658 and it is already 1/3 of the way to the goal with a generous donation of $55,000 by the landowner’s family.

Please consider joining your neighbors in helping reach the fundraising goal to complete the project. You may donate online at http://www.mmrg.info/donate/ or mail a check to MMRG, PO Box 191, Union, NH 03887. If you have questions, please call MMRG Executive Director Patti Connaughton-Burns at 603-4732020 or send an email to info@mmrg. info.

Gafney Library August Art Exhibit and Reception During the month of August, the Gafney Library in Sanbornville is hosting an exhibit of The Plein Air group, artists who gather weekly to paint in places within an hour’s drive of Wakefield.

The Plein Air artists first began to gather and paint 18 years ago and now meet weekly in interesting places.

Many of the individual members have pieces for purchase at reasonable cost in Wakefield and Wolfeboro. Most of the artists are members of the Governor Wentworth Arts Council and are active in events such as Paint Wolfeboro, exhibits at Huggins Hospital, libraries and banks.

Member Mary Lewis Sheehan will include poetry with her art for this exhibit. Mary retired three years ago to New Hampshire, Florida and Nova Scotia, and was delighted to find herself renewed by claiming lost and forgotten parts. Mary explains, “I remember reading the novel Seventeenth Summer and thought of it as a glorious description of what my youth could be like, and now experience my seventieth summer as a recreation of this energy.

My work of 45 years as a psychiatric nurse clinical specialist had been rewarding, so I was shocked when I happily finished up and moved on to art and poetry.”

Mary is a wife and mother of two grown sons who require her love and very little attention, leaving her with time and energy to write, paint, and be present for herself and her husband Frank. Mary and Frank reside at their home on Belleau Lake, visit with family in Nova Scotia, and live in Florida during the snowy season.

Plein Air artists whose work is included in an art exhibit at Gafney Library during August.

Mary has studied art with Paul George, Marjorie Glick, Robert Pavon, Priscilla Burlingham, and KT Morse, and poetry with Barbara Bald and Beth Fox. “I treasure the gift of a community of poets and painters with whom I now get to play, especially The Wakefield and Wolfeboro Plein Air Painters, Poets in the Attic, The Hoot, and the Snowbird Poets and ongoing group oil lesson with KT Morse.”

Norman Royle was a commercial artist for 30 years, and is the guiding force that has kept the Plein Air group on track for 18 years. He is an inspiration to all members in the quality of his work, the care he demonstrates in teaching and the exciting places

he arranges for them to paint.

His

paintings are expressions of local NH life, including old cars and scenic vistas.

Madelyn Albee is a senior teacher to the group and no review of the members’ work feels complete without her gentle coaching. She is a wellknown watercolor artist in Wolfeboro, and helps run Paint Wolfeboro every summer.

The Blomster family, Marion and George, and cousins Roy and Dick are group members. Marion draws and paints local Wolfeboro scenes, and she and her husband George host the Plein Air group in their condo association space when rain and snow prevent “plein air” mode—which is a great deal of the time in this challenging New England climate.

Roy Blomster has a fine art degree from Florida State University and a Master of Art Education degree from Columbia University. He taught art • Library Continued on page 14

Bathing with a Goddess - Mountain Cascade Invokes Natural Beauty, History

By Mark Foynes The baths are part of a series of waterfalls on Lucy Brook, which is fed by Big Attitash Mountain in the Conway area. The bathing areas, perfect for cooling off, soothe the soul. The adjacent waterfalls are invocative; if you let your imagination go astray for a moment, they might invoke images of ancient nymphs basking in nature’s grandeur.

During the summer, Diana’s Baths beckon children and adults to experience the beauty of this series of waterfalls that descend a 75-foot drop along a historic waterway, which is easily accessible via a half mile hike from a public parking area. The grade is moderate and navigable by some wheelchairs. Diana’s Baths are also pet

friendly for leashed puppies. (During the fall, the area is quite beautiful as well.)

The trail from the parking area down to the falls, maintained by the U.S. Forest system, involves no climbing over rocks, nor does it involve navigating any rugged terrain.

But do be mindful that this is a site you need pay a modest fee to access.

The parking area is patrolled by both State Police and conservation officers.

(Unless you either have a season’s pass or a day pass, after splashing around in one of Diana’s Baths, you might get back and find your mood dampened by a citation ticket).

Folks with a season pass can just pull in, walk down, and enjoy. Day users can pay by cash using an envelope available at the entryway kiosk and follow the instructions therein.

(There’s a slip you’ll need to place on your dashboard; do note, there are some fill-in-the blanks that need to be completed, so, in addition to your three bucks, bring a pen, too). This payment actually constitutes a park day pass, which entitles people to visit other NPS attractions on the same day.

Nearby locations include Cathedral Ledge, Whitehorse Ledge, and Echo Lake State Park.

After making the brief descent down to Diana’s Baths, visitors can explore the many rocks, ledges, cascading falls and pools in the brook. There are also remnants of human use of the site, evidenced by hunks of concrete and feather-and-wedges marks in the local granite.

The hike down to Diana’s Baths is a fairly easy 6/10ths of a mile on a relatively flat, wide gravel path, which the government maintains. (We forgot our fitbit when visiting; it was probably a significant number of steps, but not enough to leave visitors winded unless they sprinted down.) We encountered a few joggers but decided to keep a steady walking pace instead.

Along either side of the path are beeches, birches, and red oaks, with a smattering of white pine and a hemlock here and there. It’s a pretty typical forest that leads to an extraordinary destination.

In addition to its natural beauty, the site has a rich historical heritage.

In 1863, George Lucy purchased five acres of land on the site. In the • Cascade Continued on page 13

The Rochester Museum of Fine Arts, in association with Rochester Main Street, is hosting the third annual Rochester Pride street festival and dance party in downtown Rochester on Saturday, August 25. This is a popular happening, and last year nearly 3,000 visitors came to Rochester to participate.

The mission of this event is to promote unity, visibility, inclusivity, equality, and a positive image of the​ lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBTQ+) community. Rochester Pride is funded entirely by individual private donations.

The street festival will be held from 1 to 4 pm on Hanson Street and Central Square in Rochester. There will be several vendors, live music, and much more. Celebratory remarks by Rochester Mayor Caroline McCarley, Chris Pappas, Gerri Cannon, and a • Cascade Continued from page 12 process, he also lent his name to the remote waterway - Lucy’s Brook.

George Lucy then constructed a waterpowered sawmill that harvested the kinetic energy of the falling water.

In 1890, Lucy noticed that the site attracted tourists. In response to an increasing volume of visitation, he built a three-story boarding house. The enterprise was, however, not a slamdunk success, given the competition posed by nearby grand resort hotels.

In the 1930’s, the family’s sawmill transitioned its power source to one utilizing a concrete dam with turbines.

But this was relatively short-lived; they abandoned the mill following the ascent of portable sawmills. These transportable work stations could be moved from one timber harvest site to the next.

Afterward, Hattie Lucy owned the property and ran a gift shop beside the falls through the 1940’s with an ice house behind the store to cool tonics that she sold to visitors. Hattie and her son David lived in the no longer extant house through the 1950’s. After a brief interval thereafter, the home and remaining land was sold it to the government. This is when the property became a National Forest site. The remaining buildings were torn down, although remnants of the mill’s foundation and the erstwhile dam do remain.

We encountered comers back in still damp swim trunks, joggers, and a few locals just out for a jaunt. For someone hoping for an opportunity to swim laps, Diana’s Bath is not an ideal location. There are sites where you can fully submerge, but they are relatively small.

This is definitely a family friendly locale, as evidenced by the large number of children at Diana’s. “Glee” is the word that came to mind as our own kids splashed around.

It should also be noted that the rocks at Diana’s Baths are quite slippery.

There is signage on site that notes this, and caution is urged.

Learn How to Steam Bend Wood With Geoffrey Burke An Introduction to Wooden Boat Building - Steam Bending Wood with Geoffrey Burke will take place on Saturday, August 25 from 9 to 11 am at the barn behind the Other Store at 85 Main Street in Tamworth, NH. This workshop is generously funded by the Tamworth Foundation and comprises a series of five Tamworth workshops. It is offered as part of the G.A.L.A. ReSkill-Ience workshop series.

Tamworth resident Geoffrey Burke has been a professionally building all-

wood traditional small craft for over 35 years. He has taught boatbuilding for many years and in many locations, including the WoodenBoat school in Brooklin, Maine; Lake Champlain Maritime Museum in Vergennes, Vermont and the Community School in Tamworth, NH. ‘Traditional small craft’ is a generic term used to describe any of the hundreds of small wooden boats used for hunting, fishing, and transportation in pre-industrial society.

New England has a rich legacy with hundreds of different models of boats all adapted to specific jobs and environmental conditions.

In this workshop, students will steam bend wood into curved shapes that could be used to build boats. While really a very simple process, there is a degree of the mysterious to take a thick, stiff oak and bend it into a circle. All participants in the workshop will have a chance to bend a piece of wood into an interesting shape or maybe even tie

it into a knot. No previous experience is necessary; participants should come prepared with a pair of work gloves.

The cost to participate in the workshop is $15 to hold a place. Preregistration is specifically requested for this event to be sure enough supplies will be provided. Please call with any questions to 603-539-6460 or visit www.galacommunity.org.

who taught Ruth “don’t paint within the lines.” Ruth raised her daughter Ann Willett in this family tradition.

Totally self-educated, Ruth developed skills in fabric art, spinning wool from her own sheep and making natural dies from her own plants. Ruth paints in every media, and although modest and self-effacing, she is, at 92 years old, a master artist who is still trying new approaches and creating vibrant art with apparent ease.

Ann Willett is an artist/illustrator/ fabricator and the third generation of the Willetts. She was a gold key and blue-ribbon winner in the Boston Globe competition in her youth, which with her mother’s artistic input spurred her on to a lifetime of art. Ann studied with Marshall Joice, a noted marine painter in Kingston, MA, and David M. Carroll, a nationally known painter of flora and fauna. Her academic courses of study included Mass College of Art, UC, Santa Cruz, and a master’s in ceramics from UNC, Colombia.

She creates highly detailed images of fish and birds, and is sought after for private commissions.

The exhibit may be viewed during library open hours of Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday from 1 to 7 pm, and Friday and Saturday from 9 am to 12:30 pm.

Call the Gafney Library at 603-5223401 for more information.

Member Dick Lundgren is a contributing member of the Rockport Art Association and has participated in many workshops there. He studied with Bernie Gerstner, Paul George, Karyl Hayes and Louise Anderson.

Dick and his wife have enjoyed several Road Scholar painting weeks at Star Island. An outside influence has been Robert Wade, an Australian artist.

As a Marine Corps veteran, he was a photographer during the Korean conflict, and after discharge, worked as a photographer for a studio in Woburn and as staff photographer for the Woburn Times for two years. Then realizing that he was not using his education (BS in Biology from Tufts) he and his wife left their jobs, took out their life savings, fit the VW van into a camping unit and embarked on a 9 ½ month tour of National Parks. They traveled 22,000 miles and came back to New England when the campgrounds were closing for the season.

Annual Kids’ Fun Run - Believe in Books Literacy Foundation On Labor Day, Monday, September 3, kids will get to race through Story Land in Glen, NH for Believe in Books Literacy Foundation’s (BIBLF) Kids Fun Run presented by Memorial Hospital and Story Land in Glen, NH. The Kids’ Fun Run will begin promptly at 9 am with registration opening up in the rear parking lot at 8:15 am. Last year, over 400 kids participated in this event and Believe in Books Literacy Foundation is hoping for even more this year.

Bonuses of participating as a racer include a t-shirt, a medal, and a free admission to Story Land for the entire day. Local children in school districts SAU 9, 13, 20, 3 & MSAD 72 have their registration fee covered

by Memorial Hospital, so they can race for free. All other participants only pay a $10 donation to register.

All net proceeds from this event will go towards BIBLF’s Books from Birth program.

Books from Birth started in 2008 and since then, BIBLF has been able to provide new books to over 3,000 families through this outreach program. Children in this program are mailed new, age-appropriate books at important developmental stages at no cost to the family when they return a postcard provided at a participating hospital. Looking to expand this program to more hospitals in more towns, BIBLF hopes to raise funds and awareness of the importance of an early introduction to literacy. Statistics show early introductions to literacy provide

an increase in educational outcomes and continuous reading habits into adulthood.

Visit www.believeinbooks.org to register for the event or to sign up to as a volunteer at the event. Volunteers will also receive an event t-shirt and a free pass into Story Land that day. BIBLF is hoping this will be the biggest Fun Run to date.

Getting Dirty for a Good Cause On Saturday, September 22, the 100-Acre Challenge, a fundraiser for Believe in Books Literacy Foundation (BIB), takes place in the 100-Acre Wood in Intervale, NH. The event will be the biggest, toughest, dirtiest and best fundraising challenge to-date!

This year, all net proceeds will go directly to BIB’s largest literacy program, the “Books in Character” Outreach Reading Program. Through this program, BIB Literacy Foundation

travels to more than 60 pre-school classrooms to read a story, bring a storybook character to visit with, and to give a brand new book to each and every child.

BIB Literacy Foundation gives out over 15,000 new books throughout the school year with this program. As the popularity of the “Books in Character” program grows, so does the cost. To raise funds for the upcoming school year and with plans to expand to new schools in new towns, they are looking to raise $15,000 through the 100-Acre Challenge.

To participate in the 100-Acre Challenge, sign up as an individual, team of two, three or four, and then create a custom fundraising page.

Share with family and friends, post on social media and ask everyone to help out. BIB Literacy Foundation is asking each participant to try to raise a minimum of $100.

Winners of the challenge, as well as the highest fundraisers, will receive some truly impressive prizes. All prizes were donated from local businesses that support the mission of BIB Literacy Foundation. Prizes include ski passes to local resorts, gift cards to some great restaurants, and admission to some great attractions in the North Country and the Mt. Washington Valley. Participants who raise $100 or more will automatically receive a “sweet” gift for their efforts.

The 100-Acre Challenge is an event for all ages, as there are three different races: toddlers, kids 12 and under, and adults. There will be food trucks, live entertainment, a book swap, and Home Depot will be on site with children’s crafts.

Registration opens at 8 am, races begin at 9 am, and fundraising will be open until the start of the last heat of racers.

To learn more, register and help fundraise, check out www. believeinbooks.org.

The Believe In Books Literacy Foundation was created to help support its literacy initiatives. The Believe In Books Literacy Foundation is a charitable 501 (c) (3) non-profit guided by the needs and involvement of the communities which it serves, with a mission to advance healthy development of young minds through literacy programs that encourage early reading, imagination, and physical activity.

Farmington Congregational Church Hosts Jazz Service of Worship on Sunday, August 26 The sounds of traditional New Orleans jazz will ring out in Farmington in the sanctuary of historic First Congregational Church, UCC on Sunday, August 26 at the 9:30 am service of worship. Led by the Interim Pastor Kent Schneider on trumpet, the seven-piece jazz ensemble will play “What A Wonderful World” made popular by Louis Armstrong, and a variety of hymns, including “We Gather Together”, “What A Friend We Have in Jesus” and “Spirit Song”.

The choir will be featured throughout the service, which is broadcast live on Facebook. Refreshments will be served after the service.

Rev. Schneider, a UCC minister who grew up playing jazz trumpet in

Chicago, came to New Hampshire from New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina. Joining him in the band will be Rick Gladding on alto sax, Betty Schneider on drums, Scott Bergeron on bass, Wes English on banjo, Jonny Peiffer on piano and Dave Killkelley on clarinet.

“The jazz idiom,” comments Pastor Kent, “speaks to the heart and the soul of people today.”

The First Congregational Church, UCC is located at 400 Main Street in downtown Farmington. The 1875 church is a landmark listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Two Great Shows Complete Summer Season at Great Waters Strains of “Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens” will fill the air the evening of August 17 at Anderson Hall when Adrienne Danrich makes a return to Great Waters Music Festival in Wolfeboro with her eclectic recital called My Favorite Things. All the songs contained in her program mean a great deal to Danrich. She will tie personal stories and anecdotes about how the songs came to be a part of her repertoire as she performs some familiar and perhaps some not so familiar songs with her beautiful soprano voice. Included will be songs from the American Songbook, Broadway, Opera and traditional spirituals.

Ms. Danrich is an alumna of the Eastman School of Music and the University of Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music and while still a student there she was commissioned by the Cincinnati Opera to write This Little Light of Mine: The Stories of

Marian Anderson ad Leontyne Price which won a 2011 National Academy of Television Art and Sciences Chicago/Midwest Emmy. She has also written and performed An Evening in the Harlem Renaissance inspired by the life of Langston Hughes and Echoes of the Harlem Renaissance. Her latest endeavor is her newly written onewoman show, Love & Trouble: Five Personas – One Voice. She will be accompanied by pianist Djordje Nesic.

Once again, the Great Waters Music Festival is offering this performance as a gift to the greater community in appreciation for supporting the arts.

Even though there is no charge for this performance, tickets are required and may be picked up at the Great Waters office, 54 North Main Street, Wolfeboro. There were very few empty seats at last year’s performance so pick up your tickets early.

The Capitol Steps will return to Wolfeboro on Saturday, August 24

to wrap up the Great Waters Music Festival 2018 season at the Kingswood Arts Center. The show time is 7:30 pm.

Come as you are and laugh as you get a new perspective on politics.

Although the Capitol Steps are based in Washington, DC, most of their shows are out-of-town or for outof-town audiences, whether it’s the National Welding Supply Association, a university audience, high schoolers, or state legislators. In fact, the Capitol Steps have performed for the last five Presidents. The only complaints the Steps seem to get are from politicians and personalities who are not included in the program!

No matter who or what is in the headlines, you can bet the Capitol Steps will tackle both sides of the political spectrum and all things equally foolish.

What more would you expect from the group that puts the “MOCK” in Democracy?

Most cast members have worked on Capitol Hill; some for Democrats,

some for Republicans, and others for politicians who firmly straddle the fence. No matter who holds office, there’s never a shortage of material.

Elaina Newport, producer of Capitol Steps, says, “Typically the Republicans goof up, and the Democrats party.

Then the Democrats goof up and the Republicans party. That’s what we call the two-party system.”

Great Waters Music Festival is a non-profit organization dedicated to culturally enriching New Hampshire’s Lakes Region. The festival encompasses a diversified program designed to appeal to a variety of musical tastes.

Its purpose is to promote live musical performances including folk, pop, jazz, Broadway, dance, and renowned vocal and instrumental artists.

For more information and tickets please visit: www.greatwaters.org, call 603-569-7710 or email: info@ greatwaters.org.

“Manufacturing Victory” Set to Open on August 20 at Wright Museum On Monday, August 20, the Wright Museum in Wolfeboro will open a new exhibit, “Manufacturing Victory, The Arsenal of Democracy.”

At the beginning of World War II, the United States mobilized the entire economy and industrial structure to produce the most powerful “Arsenal of Democracy” the world has ever

known. The industrial output alone was staggering, and the enormous efforts on the homefront fostered some of the most important scientific advances in history.

This exhibit will detail these enormous efforts on the homefront during World War II. The military arsenal and machines of Allied victory

depended on a work-force willing to do whatever it took to arm and outfit the U.S. and Allied forces. While soldiers faced the actual fighting around the world, those at home built an unprecedented machine of war in factories all over the United States.

Mike Culver, executive director of the museum, described the exhibit as “a glimpse of the massive mobilization at home that helped to ensure victory in World War II. “Everything from tanks and rifles to the clothes on the soldier’s back had to be manufactured to support the war effort,” he said. “Ordinary men and women all over the United States went to work in the factories and mills, which is where the machines and equipment of victory were made.”

As the region’s leading resource for

educators and learners of all ages on World War II, this exhibit will offer a singular contribution and resource to the general public’s understanding of the domestic efforts that helped win the war.

“Manufacturing Victory” was created by the National World War II Museum in New Orleans. It will be on exhibit at the Wright Museum in Wolfeboro, August 20 through October 31, 2018.

This exhibit was made possible by generous support from Pratt & Whitney and The Weirs Times.

The Wright Museum is open daily through October 31 from 10 am to 4 pm, Monday through Saturday, and noon to 4 pm on Sundays. For more information, visit www.wrightmuseum. org.

Community Contra Dance featuring The Moving Violations and Caller Dereck Kalish The Community Contra Dance series, hosted by Global Awareness Local Action (G.A.L.A.) announces a very special dance featuring The Moving Violations, accompanied by renowned caller Dereck Kalish.

The event is free and open to the public, made possible by the Cate Memorial Fund. The dance takes place on Saturday, August 23 at Wolfeboro Town Hall’s “Great Hall” from 7 to 10 pm, with the first half hour dedicated to a brief overview of the basic steps of New England contra dance.

Dances are a fun and energizing night out for all ages and abilities, even if you simply prefer to cheer the dancers on from the sidelines and enjoy the live musical performances.

The Moving Violations have a playful energy that transcends borders of countries and encourages spontaneity and improvisation. Driving double fiddle harmonies, strong rhythm, affectionate abandon and occasional silliness prevail. Original compositions as well as Celtic, Eastern European, Swedish, Klezmer, and Classical are all fair game for The Moving Violations.

Instruction and the evening’s calls will be from the well-versed contra caller Dereck Kalish. Derek has been contra dancing since 2005 and going to local folk dances in New England, mostly the Boston area, just about every week.

Around 2011, Dereck became both a caller and sound engineer, traveling throughout New England with a focus on providing the best service possible to make for a fun and successful dance.

Dereck is the NEFFA Thursday Night

Members of The Moving Violations band from left to right: Van Kaynor, Eric Eid-Reiner, and Ron Grosslein.

into local action that is practical, effective, and fun. Through strong cross-sector collaborations, G.A.L.A. offers educational, skill building, and community service opportunities that help participants grow food, conserve energy, save money, and strengthen both personal and ecological health.

The organization’s most popular program is called Sustain-A-Raisers, a volunteer driven “eco” home and yard makeover initiative modeled after the barn-raiser. Each “raiser” consists of G.A.L.A. volunteers installing raised garden beds, compost bins, rain barrels, cold frames, and clotheslines at private homes, schools, food pantries, assisted living residences, and other community sites.

G.A.L.A. also offers a monthly Reskill-ience Workshop where attendees can learn skills, including how to make nontoxic household cleaners, basic bee keeping, food preservation and canning, bike maintenance, campfire cooking, compass and map navigation, and more.

During the winter months, G.A.L.A. hosts a Community Contra Dance Series and offers support for starting small sustainability Study Circles.

Clear Thinking Workshop The Yeoman’s Fund for the Arts is sponsoring a series of gatherings and workshops this August in honor of one of their founding members, Shirley Elder Lyons. Shirley was a journalist who believed in and lived by clear writing.

When she received the New Hampshire Bar Association’s Print Media Award for the second consecutive year in 1993, she told the Globe, “My philosophy is we have a responsibility to educate people and to tell people in simple terms about complex legal issues.”

Lyons had already spent four decades in a career that took her from California to covering Congress before “retiring” to the Granite State. Covering Capitol Hill, she wrote for the Post, the Washington Daily News, and the Washington Star. With Paul Clancy, she wrote Tip: A Biography of Thomas P. O’Neill Jr., Speaker of the House. After settling in Sandwich, she covered New Hampshire politics for the Boston Globe. Shirley’s mantra, learned from an early editor, was simple sentences, riding on active verbs.

A massive amount of writing happens every day in our country alone. How do you sort and sift what you read? And how do you make your own writing clearer? How can you make your thinking clearer?

Becky Sinkler will lead three days of workshops at the Samuel Wentworth Library in Center Sandwich on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, August 20, 22, and 24, from 3 to 6 pm. She plans two days of instruction and conversation, and the last day will be devoted to her editing your work, giving about 20 minutes to each participant.

Sinkler’s career has been vivid. In the

fashion of the 1950s, Becky dropped out of college, married, and had children. But she went back to school at the University of PA and graduated at age 39. Sinkler worked for a small daily tabloid writing “listings, features and fluff.” When it folded, she got a job at the Philadelphia Inquirer, as a secretary in the Sunday magazine section. She was “prone to error but quick to learn,” and had a tolerant, dynamic boss.

She wrote, submitted, and was published. After a stint as copy editor of the Sunday magazine, then editor of the Inquirer Book Review, Sinkler was recruited by the NY Times, where she eventually became editor of the Sunday Book Review.

After 10 years in that role she retired, and came to Sandwich. “Structure of a story, article, book or even letter is foremost. You can impose it before you write, or after you have written. Clear writing is impossible without clear thinking. And clear thinking is not possible for some of us without clear writing. Motto: How do I know what I think till I see what I write?”

However you face your writing and thinking, there are things to be learned from these two authors, and being edited by the editor of the NYT Sunday Book Review is not an opportunity that comes along every day. A donation of $25 for any part, or all, of the series is requested. It is a Yeoman tradition to present to the community some product from any workshop: be alert for notices about a short reading on the last day, August 24.
