White Horse Recovery - More than just a ‘Center’

By Leigh Sharps Mitch Yeaton, Chief Executive Officer of White Horse Recovery in Center Ossipee, always had a passion for volunteer work. In fact, he was a board member of ‘No Longer Bound’, an addiction treatment center in Georgia, for 30 years. He was committed to that endeavor while working full-time as a United Parcel Supply (UPS) Chain Solutions Director for 34 years.

But, after retiring early in 2013, he decided to channel his love of volunteering by returning to his home state of New Hampshire as a first step. His goal was to create a Center in his state similar to the one in Georgia to help addicts in the recovery process. He researched the addiction problem in New Hampshire, and found, “With over 135,000 substance addicts in the state and about 5,000 in Carroll County alone I decided after retirement to start the White Horse Addiction Center, Inc., in Center Ossipee. It took two years to gain local and state approvals. We finally became incorporated and gained our 501(c3) status in 2014. We began treating clients in 2015.” Though not an addict survivor himself, he explained, “When I learned how bad the addiction problem was in my home state where some of my children and grandchildren live, I knew I needed to go back and do something about it.”

The ‘White Horse’ expression has symbolized many ideals throughout history. A White Horse may symbolize ‘strength, beauty, passion and other powerful aspects of life that inspire greatness in each person.’ A White horse ‘vision’, describes Wikipedia, ‘represents transformation as the horse changes from dark to a white one in time. They represent the season of Winter, or rest and then re-birth in the spring.’ Horses in visions and dreams signify a journey. The term ‘to recover’ also has several meanings including ‘reclaim, balance, rediscover, recapture, restore and take back’. The Road to Recovery often means ‘turning the corner’ and Restoring To Life refers to ‘rejuvenation, revival and exhilaration’.

“We are a Christian organization and our core values are centered on Christ.

In my years of working in recovery, my experience has been the truest, and on the most successful path to recovery, by being centered in God and Jesus Christ. We have counselors who only do secular counseling and others who can do both. We will guide people to recovery on whatever path works for them.” Of course, he says, “We can treat and work with people of any faith or belief.”

White Horse treats a myriad of addiction issues. They include: co-occurring disorders, mental health issues such as anxiety, trauma, PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and depression and they treat these through individual counseling, group counseling, intensive out-patient and family therapy. “We provide resource center services and prevention services and anyone age six and older people qualify for help. We service anyone regardless of ability to pay so no one is turned

support the community by supplying items to those in need at little or no charge with things such as clothing, home goods, etc. We also serve as a recovery friendly workplace and now are offering internships and training programs through our print and copy shop and (UPS) shipping center at the store location.”

Mitch Yeaton’s overwhelming desire to continue his volunteer work in New Hampshire, has led him to fulfill his dream of operating an addiction recovery center but his goal has materialized into being much more than a ‘center’.

He points out their mission statement: “ ‘White Horse Recovery is to provide behavioral health services that meet individual needs of those we serve offering a path to a better tomorrow’...In my own words it means We Bring Hope!”

It is a place where those seeking help on various issues can discover a safe haven with committed and dedicated counselors standing by to help.

We currently see approximately 300 people a year in clinical and approximately 3,000 guest visits at our resource centers annually.

We take walk-ins and have the ability to see persons the same day (depending on clinical or coach availability onsite).” Mitch adds they have another WE ARE THE EXCLUSIVE LAKES REGION DEALER FOR... resource center in Center Conway not far from Ossipee.

The clinical team includes Master Licensed Alcohol and Drug counselors, Licensed Drug and Alcohol counselors, Licensed Clinical Mental Health counselors, a Licensed Independent Social Worker, Certified Recovery Support workers and recovery coaches. The resource centers are Council for Accreditation for Peer Recovery Support Services (CAPRSS) nationally accredited.

The Recovery Center’s efforts extend to community projects, Mitch relates.

“We do a lot of work in the community from supporting food banks, community centers, or any community-focused work groups. We directly assist CUSTOMER 5 STAR RATED! people in finding their path to recovery, but also in finding daily living needs, food, shelter, clothing, jobs, banking or whatever is needed. Additionally, we offer transportation as needed.”

Treat Mom on Mother’s Day!

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper Mother’s Day is a great time to celebrate the special Mom or woman in your life. Due to the pandemic, some businesses are curtailing offerings, but if you plan ahead, you can treat Mom to a memorable and fun day.

If your Mom likes arts and handmade items, head to The Chocorua Creative Arts Center & ArtWorks Gallery located at 132 White Mt. Highway in Chocorua. The shop is a great place to visit, and features a wide array of paintings from talented artists, photographs, watercolors, as well as pottery, glassware, jewelry and much, much more.

Perhaps you could bring Mom to the gallery and have her pick out her gift in the shop? This would certainly be a memorable way to show your love for

all she has done for you. Call the gallery for information at 603-323-8041 or visit www.chocoruaartworks.com.

In Ossipee, artwork abounds at the Fabiana Walsh Fine Art gallery. Fabiana is a talented artist who paints from her home studio and exhibits world-

wide. She stresses she welcomes visitors by appointment only at this time. A tour of her Ossipee gallery is a must for art loving Moms; call Fabiana at 603733-9594 or visit www.fabianawalshfineart.com.

Perhaps your mother wants to take an art class? Visit the website of the Jackson Art Studio & Gallery in Jackson, NH for a chance to immerse in the art of others…and to sign up your Mom for a workshop. Gift your mother a fun workshop titled Beginner Outdoor Painting: Brush & Palette Knife Technique, taking place on July 17 and 18.

The class will be led by professional painter, Melanie Barash Levitt. In the weekend outdoor oil painting workshop, (acrylics can also be used) students will enjoy the process of setting up an easel outdoors and painting the beautiful White Mountain landscape “en plein air.” The group will meet at a different location each day and will focus on the brush the first day and the palette knife the second day. Through demonstration and individual atten-

tion in oils, students will learn how to distill the important information from their observation and translate it onto the canvas. Melanie will address the importance of sketching, how to create depth and light in a painting, composition, color mixing, and other tips for painting outdoors. Students will complete at least one painting per day; possibly two. Other workshops are also offered, and you can get a list by visiting www.jacksonartnh.com or call 603-387-3463 to learn more. The website also features artwork for sale.

If your family likes to hike, bring the entire group to the Believe in Books Literacy Foundation at 41 Observatory Way in Intervale, NH. On the property, the Trails in the Wood system was developed for the purpose of education and recreational opportunities. The trails were designed for use throughout the year: walking, mountain biking (not allowed in winter), maple sugaring, and nature observation. You can take a walk and read a story on the Storybook Trail and experience great children’s stories in a unique way. It’s a wonderful way for the family to read and play together. Believe in Books staff feel that early exposure to a simple outdoor activity in a family setting will encourage lifelong healthy habits, with exercise for the brain and body.

Please call for information/admission charge at 603-356-9980 or visit www. believeinbooks.org.

April 2021 | ALONG ROUTE 16 | Page 5 • Mom Continued from page 4 For a beautiful walk in the woods, head to the Ossipee Pine Barrens in the Ossipee area. The Pine Barrens are a magical place with the state of NH’s last intact pitch pine-scrub oak woodland natural community, which is a globally rare forest type. There is a diversity of uncommon wildlife, including nearly two dozen threatened and endangered moths and butterflies, and several declining bird species like whip-poor-will, common nighthawk and Eastern towhee. Over 10,000 years ago, retreating ice age glaciers left behind a broad, deep sandy outwash plain. Such areas as this were too dry and nutrient poor to become a regular forest, and the sandy-gravelly soil became known as “barrens.” However, pitch pine and scrub oak thrives here, rejuvenated by lightning and human-sparked fires. The pine woods and scrub oak is dense and tangled in some places, while it is open and airy in other areas. Overall, the Ossipee Pine Barrens is a terrific and unusual walk for nature-loving Moms and their families.

For information, visit www.nature.org.

The area is maintained by the Nature Conservancy.

If Mom loves nature and wildlife, she will greatly appreciate Tin Mountain Conservation Center on Bald Hill Rd. in Albany. The Center has everything a nature lover could want. Walk the trails, take in a program, and just relax and enjoy the peacefulness of this special place. If you are looking for a unique and thoughtful gift for your

mother, give her a membership to Tin Mountain. The benefits of membership include discounts and more. Visit www.tinmountain.org or call 603-4476991. Please call ahead before visiting, due to pandemic guidelines.

Theater is a great experience and chances are good your mother would love to see a play at M&D Playhouse in North Conway. To see a show virtually due to the pandemic, get tickets for the family to watch “Slow Food”, a comedy that was filmed live on stage.

Here is the plot: a vacationing couple celebrates their anniversary at a Greek restaurant in Palm Springs—but will the marriage survive the service? As a needy waiter insinuates his way into their meal—and their lives—the couple examines their past and their future together. Playwright Wendy MacLeod brings us a tender comedy that delves deeply into what we hunger for. Your family can gather to watch the show virtually from your home with Mom. There will be four chances to view the show: April 30, May 1, 8 and May 9.

Visit www.mdplayhouse.com for tickets and information.

Take Mom on a fun train ride via the Conway Scenic Railroad, departing from the station at 38 Norcross Circle in North Conway. Take a train, such as The Conway Valley Train, for a classic rural train ride. The round-trip journey is ideal if you’re traveling with young children. All excursions depart from the 1874-built Victorian station in North Conway Village. The experience is memorable and a lot of fun for Mom and the entire family; call 603-3565251 or visit www.conwayscenic.com.

Thursday, April 22 with friends and neighbors tidying up the detritus of winter from the stretch of Route 16 that runs along Chocorua Lake. The Chocorua Lake Conservancy (CLC) volunteers have been cleaning up Route 16 since 2003, when the CLC adopted the two miles of highway from Heavenly Hill to the north end of the lake.

On Thursday, April 22 from 8:45 am-10:30 am, join the Chocorua Lake Conservancy for “Adopt-a-Highway” Earth Day Cleanup along Route 16.

Help CLC members clean up plastics and other trash before the trash degrades and leaches pollution into the lake. Plan to meet in the Grove

by Chocorua Lake, near the Narrows Bridge at the end of Chocorua Lake Road at 8:45 am. The clean-up will finish by 10 am or 10:30 am. Please come with masks, gloves, good walking shoes, and wear bright, preferably day-glow clothing. CLC Stewardship Director Lynne Flaccus will provide trash bags.

As with all CLC events at this time, please sign up in advance by leaving a message at 603-323-6252, or emailing lflaccus@chocorualake.org.

vironment, humanity and the future of both will want to catch this program.

Marnich will explore the importance of native pollinators in our food system in addition to non-native, European kept bees, the decline of native pollinators, how to create habitat for native pollinators, nesting sites for native pollinators, seasonal food sources for native pollinators, and how to use NRCS programs to support native pollinators. Participants will take a journey from season to season and focus largely on how to imitate Mother Nature while discussing the above topics. Participants in the Chocorua/Tamworth area will have an opportunity to access handouts after the workshop.

This event is free. Please register in advance at bit.ly/CLC-pollinators.

You can also find the registration link at www.chocorualake.org and on the CLC Facebook events page.

These events are just a few of the Chocorua Lake Conservancy programs held throughout the year to encourage people of all ages to enjoy Chocorua Lake and the trails and woods that surround it, and to learn more about the natural world we inhabit. Go to www. chocorualake.org for updated information, or follow the Chocorua Lake Conservancy on Facebook and Instagram.

NH Outside with Emma Getting Rid of Crabgrass

By Emma Erler Crabgrass is one of the most ubiquitous weeds of lawns and landscapes.

Native to Europe and Eurasia, crabgrass was introduced to the United States in the mid-19th century as a possible forage crop. Since then, crabgrass has spread far and wide throughout the continent, growing just about anywhere with disturbed soil, from agricultural lands to lawns and gardens. It does especially well in sunny lawns and is most competitive in hot and dry weather when turf grasses are under stress and beginning to go dormant. The wide, yellowish-green leaf blades of crabgrass stand in stark contrast with the dark green cool-season grasses – a look that is intolerable to many lawn enthusiasts. Fortunately, crabgrass is merely an aesthetic issue in most situations.

Crabgrass is a summer annual species, which means it completes its entire lifecycle in a single growing season. It reproduces by seeds and “tillering,” or, in other words, segmented shoots that grow from the parent plant and root at the nodes. It is estimated that a single plant can produce dozens of tillers and as many as 150,000 seeds.

Seeds begin to develop when the days become shorter in mid to late summer.

Mature crabgrass plants are killed by the first hard frost, but not before they have produced and dropped seed. Seeds lie dormant through the winter and begin to germinate in the spring when the soil temperature reaches 55°F at a depth of 1-2 inches for about a week, and continue germinating through the late summer.

Cultural Management Effectively managing crabgrass takes patience, and it is important to have realistic expectations for getting

an infestation under control. Complete elimination typically takes multiple years due to the copious number of seeds that plants can produce and the ability of seeds to lie dormant for a few years before germinating.

Establishing a dense and healthy lawn is the best way to keep crabgrass and other weeds at bay. Herbicides can be useful tools, but they won’t entirely keep the crabgrass away unless the following cultural management techniques are observed: • The presence of crabgrass can be an indication that there are underlying issues with the lawn, so getting a soil test is a good place to start. Adjusting the soil pH, adding appropriate nutrients and fixing drainage issues can help achieve this.

• Perhaps the most effective cultural practice is proper mowing. Mowing the lawn to a height of three or more inches not only improves the health and resiliency of the grass itself, but taller grass shades and cools the soil, discouraging weed seeds from germinating.

• Irrigation is often necessary to maintain a dense lawn in the hot summer months and during dry spells.

Watering deeply is far more important than watering frequently, because it encourages grass to grow deep roots and makes plants more drought resis-

tant. Cool-season grasses perform best when they receive at least an inch of water a week, applied in either one irrigation session, or split over two.

Check to make sure water is reaching the depth of the deepest roots (approximately 3-4 inches down).

New lawns should be seeded in late summer or early fall. Crabgrass that germinates in the new seedbed will be killed by frost, giving cool-season grasses a competitive advantage in the spring. Over-seeding in the fall can be helpful to restore lawns that are thinning. Any bare soil in the lawn is likely to start sprouting new weeds.

• Only fertilize the lawn in the spring and fall when cool-season grasses are actively growing. Fertilizing in the heat of the summer may actually benefit weeds more than the turf grasses that have entered dormancy.

Chemical Management It’s usually not possible to completely eliminate crabgrass without using an herbicide, but chemicals should only be applied as a last resort. Pre-emergent herbicides that inhibit growth are the best tool available to home gardeners as long as they are applied at the proper time. Prime crabgrass germination occurs when the soil temperature is above 55 degrees F at a depth of 1-2 inches for at least four or five days.

This is typically around the time that forsythia is in full bloom. Pre-emergence herbicides should be applied around this same time or even slightly prior to peak bloom. They need to be on the ground before germination takes place in order to work properly. If the application window is missed, the only remaining options are to hand-pull the crabgrass or to apply a post-emergent herbicide, the latter of which is not nearly as effective as pre-emergents. If

using an herbicide, make sure to read and follow all instructions on the product label.

Some gardeners swear by the use of corn gluten as an organic pre-emergent herbicide, but university research to support its effectiveness is inconclusive. Research data show mixed results, and some studies have found that corn gluten does not work especially well against crabgrass. Corn gluten typically contains about 10% nitrogen, and this fertilizer may help green up lawns and result in dense growth that out-competes weeds. Yet, it may contribute to ground and surface water contamination depending on the application rate and any other fertilizer products used. For weed control, the established recommended rate is 20 pounds per 1,000 square feet. At this rate, about 2 pounds of actual nitrogen are added to the lawn. However, New Hampshire’s turf fertilizer law allows no more than 0.9 pounds of actual nitrogen to be applied per 1,000 square feet per application. Thus, applying corn gluten at a rate that may suppress weeds puts the applicator on the other side of the lawn and may cause environmental harm. Corn gluten can certainly be used as an organic nitrogen fertilizer as long as no more than 0.9 pounds nitrogen per 1,000 square feet are applied at one time, not exceeding 3.25 pounds of nitrogen in a year.

For those who aren’t particularly concerned about the composition of their lawn as long as it is green, crabgrass actually does a pretty good job of covering the soil. While eradicating crabgrass can take some time, it is possible to get ahead of it by practicing good cultural methods and exercising a little bit of patience.

Celebrate Earth Day with the Lorax!

Ethan Fifield and Hazel Dassori-Kaye rehearsing for A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Rehearsals have been masked, but the filmed performance will feature the faces of the artists.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream Advice To The Players (ATTP), Sandwich’s own Shakespeare company, will kick off the 2021 season with a virtual performance of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, available online from April 23 to May 2.

ATTP staged the production to be filmed and presented virtually; the link to watch the performance will be available starting on April 23, Shakespeare’s birthday. Audience members can be sent the link by emailing contact@advicetotheplayers.org.

In celebration of Shakespeare’s birthday, and the release of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, ATTP is hosting their Bard’s Birthday Campaign. If the theatre company can raise $5,000 before the end of May, the New Hampshire Electric Cooperative Foundation will award them with a $5,000 matching grant. These funds will allow ATTP to produce their 2021 Summer Season and continue to bring literary and performing arts to the community.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream features everything from fairy mischief, a play within a play, and dramatic fights in the name of love!

This will be one to see, with wonderful returning favorites including Chris

Boldt as Theseus, Ethan Fifield as Nick Bottom, and Lucy Randall-Tapply as Puck. Last season’s director of Winter’s Tale and As You Like It, Maryssa Wanlass graces the stage as Titania, with her husband, Mark Vashro, completing this dynamic fairy duo. The lover quartet includes four returning artists, who among them have a long and rich history with the company: Caitlin Cremins, Alicia Edgar production, Rowan Heard, and Julia de Aveliz Rocha. ATTP have a wonderful group of teens and community members completing this remarkable cast, such as Tom Hyde and Marion Posner.

Advice To The Players is a unique company of theater professionals, enthusiastic community members and energetic teens that have been performing Shakespeare and offering workshops in the Lakes and White Mountains Regions of New Hampshire since 1999.

Based in Sandwich, ATTP has spent the last 22 years bringing award-winning productions of William Shakespeare’s richly passionate plays to life while introducing new generations to live theatre.

Cooking With Citrus and Fruits

By Chef Kelly Ross Today’s culinary theme is one that brings to mind summer. These ideas will be a combo of recipes that can be used on the grill, (since we are into that time of year) and in the kitchen. The theme is proteins and wonderful fruit and citrus. Whether utilizing oranges, lemons, limes, and pineapple, as well as peaches, certain proteins don’t necessarily blend well with citrus, unless done very subtly. Beef in particular fits into that category. As many of you know, when marinating with citrus, you shouldn’t let the protein marinate as long as many traditional marinades. The acidity of the citrus will start to cook the protein before you actually cook it. Most of my favorite beef marinades will hug the meat for 24-48 hours, while most citrus marinade recipes won’t exceed more than 4 hours. The more citrus there is in the marinade, the less time you will want to marinate the protein. On another note, you can also use the citrus in a sauce after the fact, and when doing that, you have more forgiveness if you want to use a sauce over beef, for example. For instance, some fruits make an outstanding barbecue sauce.

Let’s hit the ground running with a few great chicken recipes off the grill.

This bad boy has a pretty cool combo of

flavors including the gamut from sweet to spicy to tangy, and it’s quite tasty, to say the least. As a general rule, I use boneless chicken breasts and thighs for this recipe, but feel free to utilize bone-in chicken if you wish, although you may want to bulk up the marinade if you do since bone-in chicken has more weight and area. This recipe is relatively healthy as well, which is always a selling point. Bone-in or boneless will dictate the amount of pieces of chicken for this recipe, but it is for 3 lbs. of boneless. This will easily feed 6+ people, although more if you want to use this on a salad or even in a taco or sandwich.

Grilled Chipotle Lime Chicken 3 lbs boneless chicken breasts or thighs 1/3 cup olive oil ½ cup honey ½ tbsp fresh squeezed lime juice ¼ cup Chipotle seasoning 1 tsp salt Whisk together all the ingredients, except the chicken, in a bowl. Put the chicken in a large Ziploc bag and dump the marinade into the bag and seal.

Massage the chicken in the marinade to get the meat thoroughly coated. Refrigerate for 4 hours since the citrus is a minor part of the marinade. If you care to cook inside (vs. on the grill out-

doors), a large cast-iron skillet works. I suggest turning your well-greased grill (if cooking on your outdoor grill) to high for a preheat. Once heated, drop to medium high and place the chicken on the grill. Leave untouched for 4-5 minutes. If flames flare up really high, turn down the heat for the time being.

Turn the meat over and cook on medium heat on the second side. Depending on the thickness, cook for another 4-5 minutes. The chicken will be incredibly tender and delicious and will be very versatile in many ways.

The next chicken recipe off the grill has a Hawaiian theme that quite possibly could be your favorite of the bunch today. This recipe can be done as described, or separated in that this is a chicken recipe combined with a pineapple recipe all off the grill. If you have never cooked pineapple off the grill, I can guarantee that if you do it once, you will do this over and over again. The chicken however, is the main course in this recipe and as a combo with the pineapple, you’re going to dig it big time. This will easily feed 8-10 of you.

April 2021 | ALONG ROUTE 16 | Page 13 • Citrus and Fruits Continued from page 12 For the Chicken 4 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs (Breasts work as well, but thighs are better 1 cup unsweetened pineapple juice ½ cup soy sauce ½ cup packed brown sugar ½ cup ketchup ¼ cup chicken stock or broth 2 tsp fresh grated ginger root 1 ½ tsp minced garlic Sliced scallions for garnish For the Pineapple 2 pineapples, skinned and cored and cut into spears 1 cup packed brown sugar 1 cup melted butter 2 tsp cinnamon For the chicken, take all the ingredients except the chicken and scallions and combine well. Reserve 1 cup for basting during the grilling process. In a large Ziploc bag, throw in the chicken and pour the marinade inside. Seal the bag, and massage the chicken in the bag to make sure all the chicken is well coated. Marinate for 4 hours in the refrigerator.

For the pineapple, prep and cut into spears and refrigerate. In a bowl, whisk together the other 3 pineapple ingredients. Turn the grill to medium-medium high. Grease the grill very well, as chicken will stick more than any other protein, not to mention with the sugar content of the marinade. Dump the bag of chicken into a large bowl for easier access. Put all the pineapple spears onto a sheet pan. Lightly sprinkle them with cinnamon, then pour the marinade over them and roll the spears so they are completely covered. Unless you have a huge grill or 2 grills for that matter, I would grill in 2 batches: half the chicken and half the pineapple at one time, then repeat the process. The chicken should be cooked for about 6 minutes on each side and the pineapple maybe a little less, depending on how ripe it is. Just before flipping the chicken, baste with the reserved marinade, flip them, and sauce them again.

Top with scallions once off the grill. As for the pineapple, rotate them as needed to brown all over. This is a meal all will remember fondly. I have actually served the grilled pineapple as a dessert or late night treat while camping or at a bonfire party. The kids will love the pineapple and so will the adult crowd.

Let’s introduce peaches into the chicken party equation next. Chicken breasts might be a good bet for this recipe, although you can use chicken thighs if preferred. The peach sauce is

made with peach preserves, soy sauce, garlic and a few other great flavors and the chicken is grilled with fresh peaches. This recipe will feed 4-6 quite easily. The sauce is really yummy.

Grilled Chicken with Peach Sauce 3 lbs chicken of choice A pinch each of salt and pepper to taste 2 cups peach preserves 3 tbsp olive oil 2 tbsp soy sauce 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 ½ tbsp Dijon mustard 4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted The chicken in this recipe isn’t marinated, so all you need to do is put the sauce together and grill the chicken and peaches. With the exception of the chicken and peaches, combine all ingredients for the peach sauce. Save about ½ cup of the sauce for the peaches. Turn the grill to a medium heat and oil the grates. Depending on the cut of meat and whether it is boneless or not will obviously dictate the time table here, but at the halfway point, brush them with the sauce, flip them and sauce them again. Cook for as long as you need to. Continue to sauce the chicken each time you flip them. A few minutes before the chicken is done, place the peaches on the grill, cut side down.

With the extra sauce you saved, brush the tops of them and grill for 2-3 minutes. Flip them, lather generously with the sauce and continue to grill them until they are tender, about another 3-4 minutes. Depending on how many people are eating, make sure everyone gets at least one peach half served with their chicken. The peaches are so good you may want to buy extra so everyone can get 2-3 halves. If needed, utilize any extra sauce you have at the table to drizzle over the chicken and peaches.

On another note, never be afraid to double or triple up the sauce recipe. This multiplied recipe wouldn’t necessarily be specifically for this meal, but to refrigerate and use at another meal.

Let’s switch up the protein, shall we?

Although I swear by my grill, every now and then I prefer my cast-iron skillet on the stove, but don’t get me wrong, the grill still produces an outstanding outcome to this. Pork is the protein and the thicker the chop, the better, which usually means the chops will be bonein. This recipe will feed 4 people.

Pork Chops with Warm Lemon Vinaigrette 4 bone-in pork chops, at least 1-inch thick Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Extra virgin olive oil 2 garlic clove, minced 4 sprigs fresh thyme

1 lemon, cut into ¼-inch wheels 2 tbsp. unsalted butter, cut in half 2 cups baby arugula Flaky sea salt Preheat a large cast-iron pan over high heat. Pat each pork chop dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper on all sides. Add 1 tbsp olive oil to the pan and then add two pork chops. Sear on high for 5 minutes on each side. Remove the pork chops to rest while you cook the last two pork chops. Heat your oven to warm. In the same pan, reduce heat to medium. Add 1 tbsp olive oil, garlic, thyme, lemon wheels and 1/2 tsp salt. Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until garlic is softened and lemons begin to brown. Add cold butter and allow to melt slowly to create a sauce. Do not let the butter burn. Once the butter has melted, put the pork in the oven for 3-4 minutes and turn the sauce down to low. Serve pork chops with side of fresh arugula and drizzle sauce over pork chops and greens. Top with a sprinkle of sea salt.

Let’s show a little love for some shrimp. This dish goes with one of the best salsas I know of; I make dozens of salsas and I feel confident you will be all over this one. Grilled shrimp is perfectly accented by this light, summery pineapple-melon salsa. The flavors are bright and fresh and just right for a hot day. Use one melon or any combination of melons, including watermelon, if preferred, for the versatile salsa. For the best flavor, marinate the shrimp overnight. This recipe is for 4 people.

Grilled Shrimp with Melon and Pineapple Salsa 1 lb raw shrimp, 16/20 in size, peeled and deveined 2 tbsp olive oil 2 tsp finely grated fresh ginger root, divided 2 tsp seeded jalapeno, minced, divided (use caution when handing jalapenos) 2 cups finely diced, firm, melon of choice (my vote is for cantaloupe) 1 cup finely diced fresh pineapple ¼ cup finely diced red bell pepper ¼ cup finely diced green bell pepper ¼ cup finely diced red onion 3 tablespoons rice vinegar 2 tablespoons finely chopped, fresh mint, plus 4 sprigs for garnish ½ teaspoon kosher salt 4 large lettuce leaves, such as Boston, romaine or iceberg 4 lime wedges 4-5 skewers, if wooden, soaked for 30+ minutes Combine the oil, half the ginger and half the jalapeno in a medium bowl.

Add the shrimp and lightly toss to coat.

Cover and refrigerate for 4-24 hours, the longer the better.

For the salsa, combine the melon, pineapple, red and green bell peppers, onion, vinegar, chopped mint and the remaining halves of jalapeno and ginger. Salt if needed. Refrigerate until you pull the shrimp from the fridge.

Preheat the grill to high and oil it generously. Skewer the shrimp, piercing each shrimp twice, once through the tail and once through the head end. Place on the grill for 2-3 minutes per side or until pink. Divide the shrimp among 4 plates, place a large leaf of lettuce of choice on each plate and then scoop some of the scrumptious salsa on top of it. Garnish each plate with a fresh mint leaf and lime wedge and dig in.

I want to share one more recipe with you and this one has salmon as the centerpiece. Grilled salmon is always a winner, but this one is triple citrus infused and done on a cedar plank, which if you have never done it, please give it a try! The flavor is out of this world.

If you have never done it before, soak some cedar planks for 2+ hours. Heat the grill to medium low and place the planks on top of the grill and close the lid. You then lay the salmon, skin side down, on top of the planks. Close the lid and cook for 12-15 minutes. The grill will fill up with the cedar smoke creating a great smoky flavor. The citrus flavor combined with the smokiness is amazing. This recipe feeds four people.

Triple Citrus Salmon 4 thick center cut filets of salmon, 6-8 oz per piece ½ cup fresh squeezed orange juice ¼ cup fresh squeezed lemon juice ¼ cup fresh squeezed lime juice ¼ cup orange marmalade 2 garlic cloves, minced 3 tbsp soy sauce ¼ cup brown sugar, packed 1 tbsp cornstarch 1 tbsp water In a medium saucepan, whisk together orange juice, lemon juice, lime juice, orange marmalade, garlic, soy sauce and brown sugar. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water. Just as the juice starts to boil, slowly stir into the marinade and bring to a boil over medium high heat, still stirring, until the mixture starts to thicken. Remove from heat. Lay salmon skin side down on cedar planks and season with salt and pepper. Brush half the marinade onto the tops of the salmon and grill over medium heat for 12-15 minutes or until done. Re-sauce half way through.

Transfer the salmon to plates and brush with reserved sauce on top. Enjoy!

Tips for Turkey Hunters on Building Good Landowner Relations Spring turkey season is May 1-31, and hunters on a quest for gobblers can do a lot to help promote positive landowner relations, according to Mark Beauchesne, Landowner Relations Coordinator for the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department.

“Remember that access to private land is a privilege provided through the generosity of the landowner,” said Beauchesne. “With more than 70% of New Hampshire’s land in private ownership, practicing good landowner relations is key to maintaining access to private property for future generations.”

Here are some tips: • Even if you had landowner permission to hunt during the fall, check back in with property owners to discuss the spring hunting season dates and to

make sure nothing has changed over the winter.

• Demonstrate good landowner relations in front of youth before, during, and after youth turkey-hunting weekend (April 24 and 25). Ask permission and follow landowner requests.

• Remember that you are the guest of the landowner. Treat their property with the same care and respect that you would if it were your own.

• Never park on lawns, or block roadways, trails, crossings, or gates. Leave all gates and barriers as you found them.

• Written landowner permission is needed to drive an OHRV on private property. If you are granted permission, understand clearly where you are permitted to drive and carry that per-

mission on your person.

• Become familiar with boundaries of the land you have permission to hunt, surrounding properties, and adjacent recreation areas, farms, and active logging operations.

• Do not hunt near buildings, livestock, active logging operations, or hiking trails.

• Always ask landowner permission if you plan to construct a ground blind.

Written permission is required if your blind will damage a tree or result in cutting of tree branches.

• Make an effort to express your appreciation to the landowner. Follow up with a note of thanks, a small token of appreciation, or offer up assistance with a task or chore. Your ongoing communication with landowners makes a world of difference.

The Turkey Hunter Landowner Relations Project was developed as a partnership between the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department’s Landowner Relations Program and the New Hampshire Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation. The focus of the project is to maintain and increase turkey hunter access on private lands. Working in partnership with the Landowner Relations Program, turkey hunters collaborate with landowners to proactively address any issues and concerns that are related to turkey hunting.
