Cruising Through History Story & Photo by Mark Foynes Spring rains have finally rinsed away a long winter’s worth of road salt from the region’s highways and backcountry roads. Time to kick open the barn door, dust off the fenders, and take the Model A out for a cruise. The 6th annual Ford Model A rally at Bean Farm on Route 109 in Wakefield jump-started the car show season on April 28. This is among the first of several events where collectors and enthusiasts can exhibit and view classic cars of a bygone age of motor travel. If you missed it, don’t fret - there will be plenty of chances to check out classic cars none too soon. (See a list of upcoming car shows at the end of this story.) But for those who knew to head to Bean Farm, it was indeed a good time. New friends were made and collectors networked for parts. A rim here and a fender there. One collector was looking for a set of rims. He was quoted a price of $500 and balked. There was a counter offer of $400 “and not a penny more that’s $100 a wheel.” They agreed to the terms and made arrangements to connect after the event at some point. The Bean Farm Dust Off is not intended for buying and selling, but for showcasing. However, when you get a critical mass of folks with a specialty interest, networking is going to happen. Handshakes were made, as well as promises to make follow-up phone calls. The Dust Off gave old friends a chance to reunite. “How we doin’?”

asked one attendee of another. “Just fine. Woke up today warmer than room temperature, so that’s good.” The event provided a great venue for this type of good-natured but slightly morbidly self-effacing humor. But it was ultimately about the cars. There were nearly 100 Fords dating between 1928 and 1931, as well as about three dozen non-Model A’s that

drew classic car enthusiasts from far and wide. They rolled in from nearby places like Tuftonboro and Rochester. They crossed the Salmon Falls and Branch rivers from the east. Some even came from the flatlands of the Massachusetts North Shore, clutchpunching into low gear to ascend the grades of the White Mountain foothills. One attendee from Madison joked, “I

just popped it into neutral and coasted here. Guess before I head home, I should make sure she turns over.” One non-Ford participant joked, “What do you call a Ford at the top of a hill?” He quipped, “A miracle.” (He followed up, “What do you call two Fords at the top of a hill? A mirage!”). [Insert groan here]. There wasn’t too much brand-related rivalry, mostly just a sense of camaraderie and a sense of community among people with similar interests and an appreciation for older things. The event began around midmorning, somewhat low key at the outset, with just a few dozen vehicles on view. But by 10:30 am, the dooryard was full. Among the larger groups that arrived was about a dozen that rallied at Spaulding High School and traveled as a caravan from Rochester up to Wakefield. The front pasture was full. No matter where you stood, the vantage was vintage. The Model A’s arrived en masse. If they were boats, the word ‘armada’ would be front of mind. The event is hosted by Randy Kinville of Wakefield’s Bean Farm. He provides a perfect early spring destination collectors and spectators “I’m not sure why it’s called the Bean Farm - that’s just what it’s always been called, so I kept it,” he said. The venue is right along Route 109, just beyond a stretch of road that’s as crooked as a snake’s back. It’s a pretty • Cuising Continued on page 4

You might get wet since the highway hugs the shoreline of Lovell Lake on the route from Sanbornville to Sanford, Maine. The farm is set back a few hundred yards from the road. Plenty of space for the scores of Model A’s and other antique vehicles that cruised on in. One attendee who has been a Model-A enthusiast since before he was legally able to drive, used to wrench on them as a kid. “They’re simplicity plus,” he explained of the engine schematics. “Fuel plus air plus spark equals movement.” Model A’s might not be so plentiful nowadays as they once were. But it is

remarkable how many survive after 90 years. Think about it - when was the last time you saw a Dodge K Car? Or an original Ford Escort - two of the best-selling models of the 1980s. They’re gone, but the Model A persists. It was and is a car for the ages. How come? Firstly, there are legions of collectors who are passionate about these vehicles. They find them, fix them and maintain them. And they were sturdy vehicles to begin with, plain and simple. And devoid of automotive computers, CO2 sensors, and the like, they were relatively easy for the average person to work on and keep in running condition. A little knowledge, a set of wrenches, and a dollop of elbow grease was all that was needed

Northern Fabrication Solutions and Inter-Lakes Students Support Community Service Programs For the past two years, Northern Fabrication Solutions (NFS) has donated a bob house to the Meredith Rotary to raffle off for charitable purposes during The Great Meredith Rotary Ice Fishing Derby. NFS is a precision welding, fabrication, and machining company located in Tamworth, NH. Inter-Lakes Interact Club, sponsored by Meredith Rotary Club, has conducted the bob house raffle for the Rotary Club. Pictured in the ice shanty is Jasmine Morrissette, next year’s Interact Club president, selling raffle tickets this past February. To recognize NFS’s generosity in supporting local community service programs, the Interact Club made a donation to Lakes Region Humane Society, which was the charity chosen by NFS. Pictured in the group photo is Interact member Brendan Bunnell, bob house raffle chairman, presenting the donation check to Jason Daggett of NFS.

- no plug-in diagnostics or advanced certification required. Why else are there still so many Model A’s running? There was also the matter of the Great Depression - folks had less spending power to buy newer models. They made the old ones work out of necessity. Then came WWII. All of the major car manufacturers transitioned away from civilian production to devote their full capacity to wartime production. Translation? There were no new cars produced between 1942 and 1945. As the saying went, “Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without.” In the mid1940s, cars from back in the 1920s remained roadworthy out of necessity. Plus, gas rationing meant that these vehicles were clocking fewer miles on the odometer, extending their road life. For many during the war, the Model A was their daily driver; and with the war’s end uncertain, folks kept their aging Fords in working condition. After the war, people went on buying sprees, replacing their workmanlike Fords with newer models. To be sure, some of the oldsters were scrapped. But the will-not-die nature of these vehicles ensured that many were kept in use or stowed away in barns. Many were converted into tractors and gained a second life in the ever-evolving narrative of agriculture in rural New England. Back when they were new, the Model-A came factory-fresh in a variety of colors, from a richly-hued forest green to deep blue - unlike its predecessor, the Model-T, which was the first truly mass-manufactured automobile. Henry Ford was famous for saying that you could get a Model-T in any color you wanted, as long as it was black. By the late 1920s, his palate had broadened. Some of the vehicles at the Bean Farm show were fully-restored and in cherry shape, all gleaming, slick, and waxed. Others had that certain “barnfresh” look, though they ran just fine as

they meandered down the drive. Most folks were of a certain age and they remember when Model A’s were either still used as daily drivers, or had been repurposed as farm tractors, woodlot escorts, or doodlebugs. A gathering of old cars just seems to invite good people to swap good stories. One of the participants, Bill from Milton belonged to the Rod Benders back in the day and can torque a wrench with the best of them. Bill says he has a deal with his wife. He can have as many Model A’s on their farm as he can get his hands on. And he’s had... well, a few. But there was one time he tested his luck. He’d tracked down a similar era Hudson coupe. He knew the old timer who’d owned the vehicle, which was parked out in the back 40 behind an old Cape in Lebanon, Maine. Although beaver activity had rendered this land a mossy marsh in the meantime, the body was not too rusted and still good. He made a modest offer and pulled the Hudson out of that Maine swamp and got it home. He mentioned to a friend at the time that his wife wouldn’t know it wasn’t a Model A and felt secure in this knowledge en route home. Well, it seems when he got that old Hudson home, he was met with a rather irate response from a spouse who knows quite a bit more than what he anticipated. “Bill, you know that I know that is not a Model A, so do something with it,” she said sternly. And he did. He skun off the body of that Hudson and welded it onto the chassis and running gear of a 1949 Ford F1. He’d resuscitated it after that truck had lain fallow in a field in Alton for who knows how long. This sort of Franken-car ran the ice race at Milton Three Ponds Winter Carnival that year; shortly thereafter Bill found an adoptive home for the vehicle and domestic tranquility was • Cuising Continued on page 5

May 2018 • Cuising Continued from page 4 restored. George House of Melvin Village was one of the exhibitors, displaying his 1931 Model A at the Bean Farm for the first time. “I’m a relative newcomer to this,” he divulged. Being in his 70s, he remembered when some of the Model A’s were still in daily use and believes they’ve always had a certain allure. He explained that a “bucket list” item for him was to find and restore one. He said it was a “labor of love” and that he finally got to a point in his life when he had the time and motivation to execute his long-held ambition. This involved sourcing parts, identifying just the right paint color and the like, requiring an untold number of hours of work. He was accompanied by his wife, Judith. It was suggested to George, as he detailed what was involved in the restoration, that he’s married to a very patient and understanding woman. “Yes. Yes, he is,” Judith smilingly concurred. There was a significant number of women at the event. While the restoration of a 90-year-old vehicle might, on the surface, seem like a mancave endeavor, the endgame is usually the opportunity for taking your bride of 40 or 50-plus years out for a drive and cruise into an event like the Bean Farm’s Dust Off. But not all of the exhibitors were of the septuagenarian set. Joe Osborn is 26 and drove his Model A over from Gilmanton. He said he enjoys talking with and learning from the old timers and encourages younger folks to learn

more about the legacy and historical significance of the early Fords. Osborn said he grew up in a family that is passionate about old vehicles; old Fords, in particular. “I was just kind of born into it,” he summarized, noting that his upbringing and interests allow him to feel right at home amongst other exhibitors who were 40 or even 50 years his senior. There was also a complimentary lunch. Volunteers grilled hot dogs and many exhibitors brought side dishes and deserts. The line come lunchtime stretched out the door of a building retrofitted to resemble a 1930s filling station, replete with period signage and a pair of Gulf gas pumps. In spite of the large attendance, the Bean Farm event definitely qualifies as one of the region’s best kept secrets. Most attendees were members of either the Pine Tree or White Mountain Model A clubs. Event host Randy Kinville said all are welcome. “Like old Fords? Come on by. We even welcome Chevys and Studebakers, so if you appreciate these machines, please stop in,” he urged as he leaned jauntily against his 1956 country sedan. Many of the vehicles rolled in bearing either modern Antique plates or vintage plates dating between 1928 and 1931. One exhibitor noted that collectors will get their Model A’s replated as required by law, keeping them either under the driver’s seat or some other location that’s easily accessible in the event of a pullover. (That said, when was the last time you saw a traffic officer sideline a motorist in a Model A?) Nonetheless, the Granite State’s

Page 5

liberal vanity plate policy gave some attendees the opportunity to sport plates that read, 29FORD, MODELA, and FORD-31. (It’s only an annual fee of 40 bucks to get a vanity plate, plus the one-time charge of $8 for the plates themselves). The Bean Farm event was something of a kickoff for a season of car shows throughout the state. Do you collect and want to display? Or maybe you’re just an enthusiast who likes to see classic vehicles inroadworthy condition. Here are a few venues to check out: The Mount Washington Valley Old Car Club has a car display event every Monday from 6 to 8 pm at Dunkin Donuts in North Conway. The event runs from mid-May into October. Castle in the Clouds - Castle Car Show - Sat., July 7, 10 am to 3 pm call 476-5410 for details or to register.

Documentary Filmmaker Lily Keber in Tamworth Arts Tamworth is bringing celebrated Louisiana documentary filmmaker Lily Keber to the Mt. Washington Valley in May. During her week-long residency at K.A. Brett School, students will learn about storytelling, the art and craft of documentary filmmaking, and how to bring their personal stories to life. Bayou Maharajah Screening On Thursday, May 17 at 7 pm, at the Barnstormers Theatre in Tamworth, Keber will screen her award-winning documentary film, Bayou Maharajah, which traces the life and showcases the music of New Orleans piano legend, James T. Booker. James T. Booker might not be a household name, but he’s described

as a New Orleans piano genius. Using never-before-seen concert footage, home movies, unreleased audio and archival photos that she uncovered across the U.S. and Europe during three years of research, Keber documents Booker’s life from childhood to his death at age 43 with insight and respect, always keeping his astonishing virtuosity center stage. Keber weaves in interviews with Harry Connick, Jr.—who was tutored by Booker as a child—as well as Allen Toussaint, Irma Thomas, Dr. John, Hugh Laurie and others. The U.K.’s Up Coming said of the film, “With his unforgettable and unmistakable star-adorned pirate patch (the origin of which is explained in at least 10 wild stories by different inter-

Aardvark Wood Working

viewees), the documentary gives off exactly the right vibe: cheeky, provocative, one might simply say ‘Bookeresque.’ For lovers of jazz and rhythm and blues, or really for lovers of music in general, this is a film to savor in all its melodies and treasures. Somehow Lily Keber manages to piece together a tapestry of sounds and glimpses into the past that gives an all-round picture of a musician whose music was as hard to grasp as it was impossible to ignore.” The film, which was released in 2013, became a film festival favorite, that year winning Oxford American’s prize for Best Southern Film, Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities’ Documentary Film of the Year, The Hollywood Reporter’s #1 Must See Music Movie at SXSW, and numerous other awards. “We’re thrilled to bring this residency to our community because we’re always searching for multiple points of entry into the arts, and specifically into

the diversity inherent in the arts, which is not always fairly represented,” said Arts Tamworth’s Executive Director, Carly Goss. “With this one program, we’re able to share filmmaking, music, media literacy, New Orleans culture, the experience of an oppressed and disenfranchised artist in James Booker, and the inspiration of a young female filmmaker in Lily Keber. We love that we can be the catalyst for conversations not only about music, art and film, but also about addiction, privilege, adversity and diversity.” Choose-Your-Own-Ticket-Price tickets to the Bayou Maharajah screening are priced from $10 to $50 (plus service charge and tax) and are available on EventBrite.com. Links to the page can be found on the Arts Tamworth Facebook page or on ArtsTamworth. org. Tickets are also available at the door.

Spring on the Farm at the Remick Museum

Spring has finally sprung and the Remick Country Doctor Museum & Farm in Tamworth has a variety of programs to get you outdoors, as well as some indoor creative activities. A Dandelion Festival will celebrate the spring season on Saturday, May 19 from 11 am to 3 pm. Weed or wonder? There is so much to learn about the lovely dandelion. Meet up at Remick Country Doctor Museum & Farm for a new event celebrating this flower as an herb and vegetable. Tasting opportunities abound: dandelion jelly, bread, pancakes, fritters, and more. Observe demonstrations of cooking, canning, and preserving. Learn about honey bee care and how important the dandelion is to their survival. Explore the health benefits of the dandelion and how to create herbal concoctions. If you’re not a fan of these happy little flowers, learn about non-toxic best management practices. The event will include hands-on crafts, yoga, live music and more festivities. Simple snacks will be available for purchase. The Festival will take place rain or shine and admission is $10/person, $5/ages 10 and under, free/ages 4 and under. Call 603-323-7591.

Take part in one or multiple walks; with each succeeding walk, you will learn to recognize the plants as they change through their life cycle and add new plants to your repertoire. Walks are fun and casual, but feel free

The paddle will offer a four-mile scenic trip along the conserved banks of the Branch River to the upper end of Milton Three Ponds. Participants and their boats will be transported back to the launch site, where a delicious picnic lunch by Chef Gracie will be provided. Colin Lawson of Trout Unlimited (TU) will be this year’s guest presenter. Lawson has a Masters in Environmental Science from Antioch New England University and works as the New England Culvert Project Coordinator for TU. His focus is to reconnect Eastern brook trout habitat in priority New England watersheds through the retrofitting or removal of currently impassable road stream crossings and other instream barriers. At the paddle, Lawson will talk about fish habitats and the process of reconnecting streams such as the Branch and Salmon Falls Rivers so fish can access upstream cold waters and places to spawn. He’ll also address the vulnerability of undersized dams and culverts during so-called ‘100year’ storms and the consequences of the resulting floods. Paddle stops along the way will give participants a chance to learn more about and appreciate these environs. In particular, the lush wetland area near the confluence of the Branch and Salmon Falls Rivers is a prime birdwatching spot for riparian species. Paddlers are encouraged to bring binoculars to enjoy possible sightings of kingfishers, yellow warblers, Baltimore orioles, osprey and more.

Participants should bring their own kayaks or canoes and wear U.S. Coast Guard approved personal flotation devices. Children should be 12 years or older and accompanied by an adult. This event is extremely popular and spaces are limited, so early registration is advised. All reservations must be made by the morning of Thursday, May 24; contact MMRG Education Coordinator Kari Lygren at 603-9787125 or info@mmrg.info with your name, phone number, and the number of people who will be attending. A $15.00 per person donation is suggested and may be made at the event or online at www.mmrg.info. There is no rain date and participants are requested to leave pets at home. MMRG, a non-profit land trust, works to conserve and connect important water resources, farm and forest lands, wildlife habitats, and recreational land in Brookfield, Farmington, Middleton, Milton, New Durham, Wakefield, and Wolfeboro. Throughout the year, MMRG offers many educational opportunities to inform all ages about the benefits of our region’s natural resources. Branch Hill Farm/CSFCT is a private operating foundation whose mission is to conserve land, produce quality timber products, and educate people about sound forestry practices and conservation.

May Author Luncheon with Reeve Lindbergh The May luncheon and author talk presented by White Birch Books in North Conway will feature Reeve Lindbergh, author of Two Lives. The event will take place on Wednesday, May 23 at noon at Moat Mountain Smoke House and Brewing Co. in North Conway. Tickets are $20.00, which includes luncheon, author talk and donation to North Conway Library, and can be purchased through the bookstore by calling 603-356-3200, or call the North Conway Library at 603356-2961 by May 21. Reeve Lindbergh, daughter of aviator-authors Charles A. and Anne Morrow Lindbergh, writes about the intersection of fame and privacy from her unique perspective—as the spokesperson for one of the most famous families of the 20th century. In her new book, Lindbergh reflects on her own “Two Lives”, navigating her role as the public face of her family while, at the same time, leading a very quiet existence in rural Vermont.

After devoting years to keeping separate her “Lindbergh life” and her everyday life on her farm, she now finds herself able to make peace with her two lives. Lindbergh takes us into the National Air and Space Museum and her own kitchen drawers with equal ease, discovering that the historymaking items on display are, for her, like the memorabilia that most families keep in the attic. Two Lives reconciles the seemingly separate worlds of fame and privacy, even finding a “certain sweetness” when they intersect. Reeve Lindbergh was born in 1945 and grew up in Connecticut. After graduating from Radcliffe College in 1968, she moved to Vermont, where she lives on an old farm near St. Johnsbury, Vermont, with her husband, writer Nat Tripp. Reeve is the author of more than two dozen books for children and adults. Her work has also appeared in magazines and periodicals, including the New York Times Book Review, the

New Yorker, and the Washington Post. She is active with libraries and other non-profit organizations in Vermont and nationally. Plan now for the June luncheon and author talk, which will present author Meghan MacLean Weir on Monday, June 18 at noon at the Sea Dog Brewing Company in North Conway. Tickets are $20.00, which includes luncheon, author talk and donation to North Conway Library, and can be purchased through the bookstore by calling 603-356-3200, or call the North Conway Library at 603356-2961 by June 16. Meghan will discuss her debut novel, The Book of Essie, which is about family, fame, and religion. The book tells the emotionally stirring, wildly captivating story of the 17-year-old daughter of an evangelical preacher who is also the star of the family’s hit reality show, and the secret pregnancy that threatens to blow their entire world apart. Esther Ann Hicks - Essie - is the youngest child on Six for Hicks, a reality television phenomenon. She’s grown up in the spotlight, both idolized and despised for her family’s fire-andbrimstone brand of faith. When Essie’s mother, Celia, discovers that Essie is pregnant, she arranges an emergency meeting with the show’s producers. Do they sneak Essie out of the country for an abortion? Do they pass the child off as Celia’s? Or do they try to arrange a marriage - and a ratings-blockbuster

wedding? Meanwhile, Essie is quietly pairing herself up with Roarke Richards, a senior at her school with a secret of his own to protect. As the newlyformed couple attempt to sell their fabricated love story to the media - through exclusive interviews with an infamously conservative reporter named Liberty Bell - Essie finds she has questions of her own. What was the real reason for her older sister’s leaving home? Who can she trust with the truth about her family? And how much is she willing to sacrifice to win her own freedom? Author Meghan MacLean Weir was raised in the rectory of her father’s church in Southbridge, Massachusetts, and later moved with her family to Buffalo, New York. Her memoir Between Expectations: Lessons from a Pediatric Residency, chronicles her years in training at Boston Medical Center and Boston Children’s Hospital. Meghan holds degrees in Molecular Biology and Medical Anthropology from Princeton and Oxford Universities, respectively, as well as an MD from the Stony Brook School of Medicine. She continues to live and work as a physician in the Boston area. The Book of Essie is her first novel.
