By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper very narrow defile extending two miles in length between huge cliffs… apparently rent asunder by some vast convulsion of nature…” —Timothy Dwight, 1803 Timothy Dwight described Crawford Notch quite well. The Notch in 1803 and in our present day is indeed amazing. It is a sight to see, and a unique wonder of nature in the White Mountains.Dwight traveled through the north country of New Hampshire in the early 1800s and reported on the majesty of Crawford Notch. He traversed the area by horseback and forged through the wilderness. There were few roads in the area at the time, and he followed paths made by Native Americans and now and then, found a primitive roadway.Why did Dwight and others venture to the area when so much about the White Mountains was little known? Probably just to see the vast mountains and be among the first to explore and bring back tales of his adventure. The Notch was U-shaped, and formed a valley cut into the rocks of the mountains during the Great Ice Age. Dwight and his contemporaries were not the first to see the area and marvel at the Notch; Native Americans stood in awe of the scenery after they cut trails through the area. As early as 1770, hunter Timothy Nash found a gap in the Notch while on a hunting and tracking trip, bringing him through the wild area. According to “Crawford Notch History” at www. nhstateparks.org, Nash then headed to Portsmouth to inform Governor John Wentworth of the discovery, saying a road could be constructed to go through the Wentworthgap.was unconvinced that such a road could be built through the mountains, as Nash claimed. But the Governor relented enough to offer Nash a large tract of land if he could build a road to the Notch from the east. Nash took up the challenge and eventually completed the task, although it was not an easy job. And he got his land from Governor Wentworth. The trail later became a road, and by 1803 a chartered company worked on the Tenth New Hampshire Turnpike which was a toll road of 20 miles in length, running from Bartlett through the majestic Notch. More explorers with adventurous spirits and curiosity decided to see the Notch for themselves; thus, more trails were carved out of the wilderness. One such traveler was Samuel Willey. In the 1820s, Willey brought his wife and five children and a few hired men from Bartlett, New Hampshire to farm in the center of the Notch. It was a successful venture and the Willey’s also opened their doors to weary travelers for overnight lodgings. These lodgers were welcomed by Mrs. Willey, who was likely eager for news of her family and friends in Bartlett, far from her remote Notch home. She could have been lonely and tired from the hard work of carving a homestead out of the wilderness and working the property alongside her husband. News from outsiders would have been appreciated.The family’s hard work came to nothing when tragedy struck in the summer (August) of 1826. The weather in the White Mountains could be unpredictable, as it can be to this day.

R 16Along Shop, Play, Dine and Stay the Route 16 Corridor and the Surrounding Area to hit the White Mountains. Once the storm cleared, travelers returned to the Notch. Family members of the Willeys, out of concern, came to check on Samuel and his wife and children. The scene was tragic: farm animals were dead, and mud and rocks covered the land and outStrangely, the farmhouse was untouched by the mud slide. The oddest thing about the scene was that not one human being could be found on the property. Just the family’s dog was found howling in the house. If the farmhouse was intact, the rescuers probably reasoned, the owners must be somewhere nearby, perhaps perched on a boulder or maybe they were not at home when the mud slide ravaged the land.
Abel taught his son to hunt and fish and Ethan was at home in the woods from an early age. He grew to learn the network of Notch trails when he was hunting or exploring the mountains. One of those paths would give birth to a way to the summit of Mount Washington. In 1819, Ethan and Abel built the first trail to the top of the giant mountain. This was no easy project, and we can only wonder at the strength and determination it took to complete the work. The new passageway was named Crawford Path and is known as the oldest continuously used mountain trail in the country. But the Crawford family did not stop there. In 1840, Abel Crawford rode a horse to the top of Mount Washington. He was 75 years of age at the time. Back then, people were lucky to live to age 50 or 60, but not Abel. He was truly an adventurer and was said to remark, “To think that a horse stands on the summit of Mount Washington!” (Related in F. Allen Burt’s The Story of Mountain Washington.) Giving the horse the credit to reach the mountaintop, Abel overlooked the fact that it took a brave and hearty rider to steer the horse over the crude trail to reach thatEthanpeak.probably had the same brave and determined spirit as Abel. He inherited property from his grandfather and decided to build an inn at the gateway to the Notch. Over the ensuing years, hostelries embraced and reused the Crawford name in further businesses. The last Crawford House was owned by U.S. Ambassador Robert C. Hill and businessman and historian George McAvoy. Both men were from Littleton, New Hampshire and must have been saddened when the inn burned in 1977. Never one to forget his childhood in the outdoors, Ethan Allen Crawford worked also as a guide for hikers and those who wanted to see the awesome White Mountains. It is said he was the first to lead early botanists to the mountains. His children followed in his footsteps with an adventurous, daring spirit. Two of his daughters were the first females to climb Mount Washington in the winter of 1874. They surely had their father and grandfather’s spirit and bravery. Famous guests of the Crawford House over the years included President Warren G. Harding, and New York City character Diamond Jim Brady. To this day, experiencing Crawford Notch is a memorable experience. Visitors are humbled, as was Timothy Dwight and Abel and Ethan Crawford, by the power and glory of the mountain passage.

• Crawford Notch continued from page 3
Ethan Allen Crawford was a mountain explorer and resident. He cut quite an impressive figure, said to be over six feet in height and strong. He was the son of Notch settler, Abel Crawford. Due to his stature, Ethan had the nickname “Giant of the Mountains.”

A rescue crew sadly found it to be otherwise when they unearthed the bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Willey in the mud. A farm hand and the oldest and youngest Willey children were also found, perished at the scene. The other three Willey children were not found but assumed also dead in the mud slide. Probably, when the heavy rain came and the mud slide began, the family fled, assuming their home would be swept away. Ironically, had they stayed in the house they would have survived. Instead, they did what anyone would do at such a moment, fleeing for safety, but being caught in the slide. If Crawford Notch took away life, it also gave back in the form of a man who would gain fame after a visit.

A Drop in the Bucket Balch Lake, Horn Pond, Pine River Pond and Belleau Lake. Jon Balanoff sent me this information; “Each lake has its own individual watershed: a region of land where all water that hits the ground flows into one waterbody. These subwatersheds, however, are pieces of much larger watersheds. The AWWA region is divided by two major watersheds. To the south, Great East, Lovell, Horn, Wilson and Ivanhoe comprise the headwaters of the Salmon Falls River and feed the Salmon Falls River Watershed which ultimately flows into the Piscataqua River and Great Bay, then out to the Atlantic Ocean. To the north, Province, Belleau, Balch, and Pine River Pond are the headwater lakes of the Saco River. These lakes eventually link up to the Saco, which flows into the Gulf of Maine. All of the lakes in this region are significant in that they are headwater lakes, meaning they are the farthest upstream points in the larger Subwatershedswatershed.”

By JoanOneCoskiedrop of rain, falling in the high, far reaches of our beautiful New Hampshire, could—at least in theory— be tracked all the way to the ocean. The fact is, though, that one drop makes many turns and stops along the way. It might first help a flower to grow before being evaporated back into the clouds only to fall back into a stream. The stream may flow into a pond or lake. There the water might nurture a minnow, perhaps as it grows into a largemouth bass. That drop of water is 1.5 sextillion molecules (that’s 12 zeros). As that ‘drop in a bucket’ flows downstream, each tiny drop picks up many solid and dissolved substances to carry along. Sometimes those ‘substances’ are beneficial. Sometimes they are not. That drop of water could eventually flow from a faucet, quenching the thirst of a precocious child. What is in that water and how did it get there? And who is ‘minding the store’ about what is in the water? As it turns out, in our nation and in New Hampshire, many people are doing just that. The Nature Conservancy founded in 1951 is a global nonprofit environmental organization that has been helping protect water purity in the world and in New Hampshire since 1961. They are credited with helping to protect 680 miles of rivers and streams within the state. In 1987 New Hampshire combined the Water Supply and Pollution Control Commission, the Water Resources Board and 2 other agencies to form the Department of Environmental Services (NHDES). There are nearly 1,000 public lakes and ponds in New Hampshire. The official list of New Hampshire’s public waters consists of 20 pages, mostly in fine print. That’s a lot to be responsible for! Still other global and national organizations provide a lot of help on the local scene, too. Among them are the Pacific Institute, The World Water Council, Clean Water Action, Water Aid and Water.org which was co-founded by Matt Damon, actor and activist. On the local scene, one of the guardians of New Hampshire watersheds is the Acton Wakefield Watershed Alliance (AWWA). Established in 2005, AWWA is a nonprofit charitable organization working to protect and restore water quality in the lakes, ponds, rivers and streams of Wakefield and the border region of Acton, Maine. The Executive Director of AWWA is Jon Balanoff, a graduate of the University of New Hampshire with a degree in Environmental Conservation. Kelley Alexander serves as AWWA’s Program Coordinator. James Shimansky is the Youth Program Coordinator. These three and a 9-member board of directors are augmented in their work by the Youth Conservation Corps (YCC). There are nine lakes and ponds under the auspices of AWWA; Province Lake, Wilson Lake, Great East Lake, Lovell Lake, Lake Ivanhoe,
may start in your backyard, where your household water begins the journey to the ocean, or it could encompass thousands of miles of interconnected tributaries—streams becoming rivers, ponds becoming lakes. Looking at online geographic information systems (specifically Waters Geoviewer) you can see that some of the waters that feed Lovell Lake begin as Locke Brook near mile marker 42 on the White Mountain Highway. Locke Brook is joined by Pike Brook and together they form the Branch River flowing into Union Meadows and on into the Salmon Falls River. Just as arteries carry life to the body, each small tributary contributes to the network of arteries that supply life-giving water and nutrients—or pollution and disaster—to whomever and whatever is Waterdownstream.runoff and shoreline erosion can have a significant impact on the water quality of these waters as they flow through heavily populated towns and cities on the way. Towns and cities that depend on safe potable water. Within the Acton/Wakefield area, communities, businesses and homeowners can, with AWWA’s assistance, address situations of concern. Financial and technical assistance is available in many forms. AWWA’s Program Manager is available to offer consultation, make recommendations and offer designs for action to control erosion, manage and filter runoff, and provide sources of information regarding regulations and much more. Their programs include education, financial and technical assistance, cyanobacteria and water quality monitoring, and projects implemented by the Youth Conservation Corps. The Youth Corps (YCC) actually provide hands-on involvement, constructing waterbars, planting vegetated buffers and installing infiltration systems. In local schools, students have learned about the dynamics of watersheds, studied aquatic creatures and vegetation, learned to recognize invasive creatures and aquatic plants, and performed water tests. Through AWWA, the Norcross Wildlife Foundation and the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department, a classroom was equipped with an aquarium and brook trout eggs, ultimately participating in releasing fish. In order to protect ground water, grants may be available to provide up to 60% of the costs of upgrading or repairing failing septic systems for private homeowners. The AWWA office at 254 Main Street in Union and the website awwatersheds.org offers more information on their programs and activities. Thanks to AWWA and others, these—and all—watersheds that are vital parts of life, provide not only the necessary water for life, but in New Hampshire create a beautiful place to live, work and play.

Book Discussion provides this description of the book: “As a botanist, Robin Wall Kimmerer has been trained to ask questions of nature with the tools of science. As a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, she embraces the notion that plants and animals are our oldest teach ers. In Braiding Sweetgrass, Kimmer er brings these lenses of knowledge together to show that the awakening of a wider ecological consciousness requires the acknowledgment and cel ebration of our reciprocal relationship with the rest of the living world. For only when we can hear the languages of other beings are we capable of un derstanding the generosity of the earth, and learning to give our own gifts in return.”Adult and teen readers are invited to participate in the discussion. Copies of the book Braiding Sweetgrass may be borrowed ahead of time at the library. Register for the discussion at the li brary when borrowing a copy of the book, or online at bit.ly/CML-CLCdis cussion22. Participants are also invited to a pre-discussion potluck dinner at 6PM at the library. Facilitator: Damian Costello re ceived his Ph.D. in theological stud ies from the University of Dayton and specializes in the intersection of Cath olic theology, Indigenous spiritual tra ditions, and colonial history. Costello was born and raised in Vermont and his work is informed by five years of ethnographic work on the Navajo Na tion. Costello serves as the Director of Postgraduate Studies at NAIITS, an In digenous designed and delivered ATS accredited graduate school. New Hampshire Humanities’ “Per spectives” program supports commu nity book discussion groups by pro viding expert discussion facilitators and copies of books to book group participants.

Yes, I spend most of my summer cooking, as well as writing my articles, talking about the grill as that is what summer is all about. Granted on some of these insanely hot days, hovering over a grill can be darn un comfortable, but our grilling season is short, although I do grill a lot during the winter season as well. Summer, however, isn’t all about grilling our fa vorite proteins, fruits, and veggies. An awesome aspect of the summer season is all the fresh berries we have out there to gobble down. I could sit at a table and inhale a bowl of blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries all by themselves. For me, it’s like being a kid in a candy store. I love my morning cereal with a banana and smothered in berries. Al though I’m not a huge fan of heating up the kitchen during the summer, there are times you must suck it up and do some baking with these fresh berries. Of course, you can always freeze those fresh picked berries for future baking, but I’m sorry, there is no time like the present while they are fresh. Granted, most of these berry desserts don’t require baking, but for those that do, prep them, pop in the oven, and then go sit in the air-conditioned living room while it’s baking. So, no grilling today, but from many of the emails I receive from all of you, desserts seem to be a popular theme, so this article is for all of you, as well as for the rest of you dessert/fresh berry lovers out there, and hopefully this gives you some in spiration to utilize those berries. OK, so maybe I lied a little. This isn’t all about desserts as berries also make great breakfast treats so I’m going to start there with two great options, first with raspberries and the second with
Summertime Desserts Using Fresh Berries blueberries. I’m not going to talk muf fins as most everyone already has their favorite muffin recipes, so I’m going to start with a Danish and then go to a breakfast cake. As for the Danish, although the directions may sound a little confusing, it’s very simple once you have it in front of you as it utiliz es frozen puff pastry dough found in any supermarket freezer and will be a jaw dropping hit with the family. This recipe makes 18 Danishes and will be prepped and cooked in barely 45 min utes. Raspberry Cream Danish 1 package cream cheese, 8 oz, soft ened ½ cup confectioners’ sugar plus extra for sprinkling 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 package frozen puff pastry, 17.3 oz,18-36thawedfresh raspberries Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a me dium bowl with an electric mixer, beat cream cheese, ½ cup confectioners’ sugar, and the vanilla until smooth and set aside. Unfold puff pastry on flat surface and cut into 9 equal squares. Fold one corner of pastry to opposite corner so it looks like a triangle. Leav ing a ¼ inch border around triangle, cut slits from bottom to ¼ inch from top of pastry, making sure slits do not touch. Unfold the triangle and turn so point is facing away from you. Take the top flap and fold it toward the 2 cuts near bottom. Take bottom flap and fold it towards top edge. Place a tablespoon of cream cheese mixture in center, then place 1-2 raspberries on top. Repeat with remaining pastry, and place on baking sheet. Bake 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool slightly, then sprinkle with confectioners’ sug ar. If preferred, you can feel free to use any other of your favorite berries, like blueberries or strawberries. Finishing up with the breakfast theme, I offer you a deliciously glazed blueberry cake with a hint of lem on that gives this such a great flavor. Blueberries and lemon have always made for a tasty relationship and this one is no different. This is made in a 9x9 pan, so depending on how you cut it will dictate how many portions you get. The overall process will take bare ly an hour. Blueberry Breakfast Cake 2 cups all-purpose flour ½ cup sugar 2 tsp baking powder 1 egg, lightly beaten • Cookout continued on page 13
Preheat oven to 375 degrees and spray a glass 11x7 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or grease with butter. To make the crumble, whisk flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, and sugars together in a large mixing bowl. Using a cheese grater, grate the frozen butter and gently toss it into the flour mixture and toss until coated. Using a fork, stir in vanilla and egg yolks until egg is mostly absorbed. Add vinegar and give the mixture another stir. Use your hands to finish incorporating all the ingredients. Mixture should clump but remain mostly dry. If your mixture is not clumping, add another teaspoon of apple cider vinegar. Set crumble aside. To make the fruit filling, combine blackberries, lemon zest, lemon juice, sugar, and cornstarch in a separate medium mixing bowl. Transfer about ½ of the crumble mixture into the bottom of baking dish. Press mixture down using a flat measuring cup or damp hands. Pour the berry mixture over the crust. Add the remaining crumble mixture on top. Some small clumps are best. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes and until top is golden brown

You may need to finish mixing with your hands to get all the flour incorporated. The batter will be very thick. Fold in the blueberries. Because the batter is so thick, this may take a few minutes. Spread into the greased pan. For topping, combine sugar, flour, walnuts and cinnamon in a mini food processor or bowl. Add butter and process, or cut in if doing by hand, until mixture is crumbly. I like to do this with my fingers so I can tell when it’s ready by touch. Sprinkle over batter. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until done. For glaze, combine the powdered sugar and milk. If too thick, add a few drops of additional milk at a time until it reaches drizzling consistency. Drizzle over the top of the cake and allow to sit until sugar solidifies. This would also make a great snack cake or dessert cake as Beforewell.we get down and dirty, I have a very quick appetizer recipe that you can throw together in a little more than a heartbeat although it should be allowed to set under refrigeration. I love just about any sort of dip kind of thing, and this is a recipe meant specifically to dip fresh fruits and berries into. Truly simple and just as delicious. This makes about 2 cups of dip, and is awesome with any fruit, such as strawberries, apple slices, melon, grapes, pineapple, peaches, etc.

Yummy Fruit Dip 7 oz marshmallow fluff 1 package cream cheese, 8 oz, room temp2tbsp frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed Fruits/berries of choice to dip Spoon marshmallow fluff into a large, microwave safe mixing bowl, microwave for 15 seconds. Add softened cream cheese and orange juice concentrate then whisk or beat with an electric hand mixer until very smooth. Chill for several hours or overnight. Serve with assorted fruit. Be sure your cream cheese is very soft before making this recipe. If your dip has little cream cheese lumps, let the dip sit on the counter for 20-30 minutes then whip again. Wicked Good! If you know me, you know how much I love dessert bars as they are some of my favorite desserts ever. Toss in some fresh berries and I am all over them. Add a crumble topping on top of them and I fall in love. The berry theme in this dessert is blackberries, although I often use a combo of blackberries, blueberries, and strawberries, but all in all, any fresh berry works. This combines the perfect combo of sweet and tart with memories of my incredible Gram who was the true master of any berry dessert. This pan of scrumptiousness will give you 8-10 servings, takes about an hour and I strongly suggest topping it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Blackberry Crumble For the Fruit Filling 3 cups of fresh blackberries 1 tsp lemon zest 2 tsp fresh squeezed lemon juice 1/3 cup sugar 2 tsp cornstarch For the Crumble 2 cups flour ¼ tsp salt ¾ tsp baking powder 1 tsp cinnamon ½ cup sugar ¼ cup, packed, of light brown sugar 1 ½ sticks of frozen unsalted butter 2 large egg yolks 1 ½ tsp apple cider vinegar

They are both winners and I believe that depending on your situation and how much time you have will likely dictate the “when” on when to go with which one. Both should give you 8 portions, maybe more, again depending on your serving size.

1-pint fresh strawberries, tops re moved and sliced 3 tbsp sugar 1 tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice For The Filling 1 package cream cheese, 8 oz, soft ened to room temperature ½ cup sifted powdered sugar 2 tsp strawberry preserves, melted 1 package of lady fingers ¼ cup orange juice, ideally fresh squeezed For The Topping
1 tub of frozen whipped topping, 16 oz, thawed divided 2 tsp strawberry extract More fresh sliced strawberries, or other berries for topping For the strawberries, in a large bowl, add all 3 ingredients and gently stir and set aside until juices develop. For the filling, in a large bowl combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and the melted strawberry preserves and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until blended and smooth. Stir in one cup of the whipped dessert top ping and set aside. Place ladyfingers in a small bowl and drizzle with orange juice. For the topping, in another bowl whisk together the rest of the whipped topping with strawberry extract. Set aside. To put together, spread half the cream cheese filling into the bottom of a 9x9 or 11x7 baking dish. Follow with an even layer of half of the lady fin gers. Break them up as needed to make them fit. Next, add a layer of half of the strawberries with some of the juice on top of the lady fingers. Spread the rest of the cream cheese filling evenly on top of the strawberry layer. Next, spread half of the strawberry-flavored whipped topping on top of the cream cheese layer. Evenly layer the rest of the lady fingers on top of the whipped topping, then layer the rest of the straw berries and juice. Lastly, top with the rest of the strawberry flavored whipped topping. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or of at least 6 hours. When ready to serve, top with more fresh sliced strawberries before serving. Watch the smiles and listen to the ooo’s and ahhh’s! The next two recipes are mousse rec ipes which again, do have similarities, but are made very differently. The first one is incredibly quick to make which makes it a favorite when in a pinch, and it is delicious as well as classical ly light and fluffy as a mousse should be. The second one is a little more “old school” as it requires some stove top cooking, but not to the point of heat
www.northeastsnowmobile.com and blackberry juice is bubbling. Al low the crumble to cool for about 2030 minutes. If you have any leftovers, it’s best to cover and refrigerate. Since I have such a weakness for squares/bars, I need to share one more, and this one is from the book of the ob scure and unique. In my many years of cooking, it’s funny sometimes when you find a recipe that when you look at the ingredients, you say,” Huh, who thought of putting these ingredients together?”, then once you do, it’s a “WOW” moment. This is one of those. I love telling people “Don’t cry about it until you try it”, and if you think this recipe sounds weird, then give it a test drive please. I feel confident you will love this no-bake dessert that has a combo of fresh berries, sweet pota toes, and dates, among other classic ingredients. Sweet potatoes are often used in desserts, so in that respect, it’s not a crazy stretch, but with the berries involved can raise an eyebrow or two, but again, trust me and do it. These are made in an 8-inch square pan, so again, portions are all in how you cut them although I usually do so to 10-12 pieces. Although the bars themselves are no-bake, the potatoes do need to be baked. Production time is about 1 ½ hours, and for best results, let it set un der refrigeration for some time.

Place the rest of the berries in the bowl of a food pro cessor fitted with the steel blade and add the jam and the liqueur. Pulse the berries until they are chopped but not pureed and the jam is mixed through out. Pour the berry mixture into a non-reactive bowl and set it aside, cov ered. To make the banana mascarpone, puree the first batch of cold bananas in the blender or simply mash them well using a wide blending fork. Measure out 1 1/3 cups puree and save for some thing else or discard if preferred. Pour the puree into the blender, or in a bowl, and blend in the confectioners’ sugar, 2 tbsp of granulated sugar, and the vanil la. Place the cold mascarpone in a bowl and whisk in the flavored banana puree to well incorporate. Cover the bowl and keep it chilled until ready to assemble the parfaits. To serve, take out a small handheld blowtorch or preheat the broiler with the rack as close as possi ble to the heating element. Spoon some of the berries on the bottom of a parfait dish, then top them with some banana mascarpone and then with some cookie crumbs. Repeat this until you reach the top of the dish, finishing the top layer with a dollop of banana cream. Slice the two remaining cold bananas on the diagonal into ½-inch-thick slices and place them flat, side by side, on a wire rack within a shallow baking sheet. Sprinkle the bananas lightly but evenly with the remaining 2 tbsp of granulat ed sugar and either torch them or run them under the broiler until the sugar is caramelized. Plant a few slices of the bananas decoratively in the dollop of banana mascarpone and stick one of the reserved strawberry tips at the base of the bananas. Position a mint sprig decoratively on top and serve. This will not disappoint! May you all be enjoying your sum mer in “Happy Valley” as many of my North Conway friends refer to it.

Hanna has a very distinctive style of creating landscapes in bright col ors. The mountains and landscapes she paints (with colored pencils) throb with hues and a style all her own. She explains, “I use mostly colored pencils. I started working with them because they are easy to travel with and require very little setup and clean up time. I work with special colored pencils that are super soft; it’s easy to get rich, bold colors and blend the pen cil colors together. The strong outlines in my work are done with pen. It took me a long time to find a pen that will write over the colored pencil. After try ing many fancy art pens and markers, I finally found an inexpensive writing pen from Staples that does the trick.”
Hanna’s artwork, including calen dars and popular hats (more on that later in this story), can be seen and purchased at a few local shops. She says, “I sell my art at my family’s busi ness, Lucy Hardware in Intervale, New Hampshire. I also sell it at Internation al Mountain Equipment in North Con way. And, I have a website where I sell my artwork and hats. Truthfully, I have a hard time keeping up with demand. The best way to stay on top of my lat est work is through my Instagram ac count:@hannsmanyhats.”Calendarsofferagreat way for art ists to sell their work, placing each image on a chosen month of the year. Hanna offers calendars, and it is a pop ular way to see her art the whole year round. “The calendars have been super fun,” Hanna says. “They seem to sell really well, and I get a lot of positive feedback on them. I hear of folks reus ing the artwork from the calendars and framing them, which makes me happy. I’ve also started making stickers.” Those who want to see Hanna’s art work “in person” can head to Beth lehem, New Hampshire’s WREN Gallery. “My artwork is at WREN, a wonderful women-run organiza tion that I am excited to be joining.” (WREN stands for Women’s Rural En trepreneurial Network. It is located at 2011 Main Street in Bethlehem, New Hampshire with changing exhibits; visit www.wrenworks.org. As any creative person will tell you, artistic opportunities are everywhere… if you are open to finding them. Painting on fabric, weaving, and making murals are just a few of the many options that take creativity from the drawing board to other avenues. For Hanna, that avenue is hats. If that seems an odd choice for an artist to find inspiration, it really isn’t when Hanna explains, “I started making hats from old clothes I bought at thrift stores. I would look for stretchy fabrics and fun patterns, and cut them up to make hats.”Perhaps her enjoyment in sewing inspired Hanna to try making hats. “I love to sew! I got my first sewing machine in college and haphazardly taught myself how to sew. I’ve learned a lot since those early days. I consider myself proficient at sewing, and I have experimented with making many types of things, but the hats and headbands have been my favorite.” With often very cold winters in New Hampshire – especially in the White Mountains, Hanna knows warm hats are appreciated when people are ski ing, hiking or just going outdoors. The hats she creates are not only warm, but also fun to wear and come in a variety of styles and colors. Although when this article was writ
Hanna’s color choices are vibrant and memorable. She explains her col ors in this way, “When I choose colors, it’s often with the goal of heightening a color I’ve observed. Painters need to mix all their own colors, but colored pencils only come in so many colors. Because I have limited options, the colors sometimes end up being bright er than what you might see in nature. This limited choice is actually one of my favorite things about working with pencils. There isn’t much room for in decisiveness!”AlthoughHanna’s artwork can be purchased online and locally, and she likes “painting” with colored pencils, she also teaches art at Josiah Bartlett Elementary School in Bartlett, New Hampshire. With an enjoyment for all-things-creative, Hanna says of her teaching job, “I love sharing my art and creativitywith kids of all ages.”

These two things go well together; many art ists find inspiration from the beauty of the outdoor world. For Hanna, the White Mountains and art indeed com plement one another, and have helped her create a life of art inspired by the landscapes of the White Mountains. She says, “I was lucky to be born and raised in North Conway. I have always been interested in creative pur suits, and I went to college for art ed ucation. It was there that I learned the basics of drawing, printmaking, ceram ics, and sculpture. “For severalyears after college, I worked seasonally as a rock-climbing guide, which gave me plenty of time to travel. It was on some of these extend ed climbing trips that I really started drawing. I drew what interested and inspired me, which at the time was the beautiful western landscapes where I wasAlthoughclimbing.”she traveled elsewhere, Hanna found a lot of inspiration in the northern New Hampshire mountains. “I grew up hiking, skiing, biking, and climbing in the White Mountains. After I started drawing on road trips, it was a natural transition to drawing my favor ite places in the White Mountains.”

By Mark Okrant More than 14 million people in the United States cannot be wrong. That is the total number of U.S residents who participate in some form of skiing. Meanwhile, what better place to house a top-notch ski museum than here in New Hampshire, which served as the US center of the sport from the 1930s into the 1950s. It was in New Hamp shire that the first trails were cut for the purpose of downhill skiing. This state was the first to have over head wire-rope ski tows and an aerial These and a number of other gave rise to the popularity of the sport among residents—one in eight Granite Staters is a skier—as well as its thriving winter tourism industry.

tion is to collect, preserve, and exhibit examples of equipment, art, and arti facts relating to ski history and the 10th Mountain Division. It was not long before thousands of people arrived to visit the museum’s permanent exhibition entitled, From the First Tracks to the Fall Line: eight thousand years of skiing, which pres ents a coherent chronology of the de velopment of skiing from its prehis toric roots up until the advent of the shaped ski in the 1990s, and includes local aspects of ski history. The ex hibit is introduced on a series of vid eo screens that are strategically placed upon entry. Also, on display within the Franconia facility are five of the six Olympic medals won by Easton native Bode Miller. Most know the name of Bode Miller, but many do not realize that he grew up in the area. A new exhibit opens each year in the Franconia branch, in June. Past topics have included skiing in Tuckerman Ra vine on Mount Washington, the World War II-era 10th Mountain Division ski troops, as well as the ski histories of Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, southern New England, and backcoun tryTheskiing.Eastern Slope Branch is locat ed steps away from the train depot where Austrian skimeister, Hannes Schneider, arrived in North Conway, in 1939, to bring his Arlberg technique to America. Exhibits and audio-visuals in the Robert J.A. Irwin Exhibit Hall include displays on Tuckerman Ra vine, the 10th Mountain Division, lost ski areas, the evolution of ski clothing and equipment, as well as portraits of New England Winter Olympians. The facility’s Wilkinson-Greenberg Li brary features ski history books and periodicals available for browsing, as well as several interesting objects on display.

More than 29,000 people visited the two Museum branches in 2019, its last full year of operation before the pandemic struck. During the spring of 2020, both branches of the museum closed their doors in mid-March. However, a decision was made to reopen the Franconia branch on July 11, and the North Conway branch on August 15—for weekends only. Ultimately, they elected to operate four days a week at both sites, starting on SeptemberDespite4. the decision to open, operational issues were faced throughout the period. The museum normally creates a new annual exhibit in Franconia during their spring shutdown, before holding an opening reception in MidJune. During 2020, the new exhibit was delayed until September. Meanwhile, because the Cannon Mountain Aerial Tramway was closed throughout that summer and fall, visitor totals in Franconia were minimal. Since a very small audience had the opportunity to view the 2020 exhibit on Ski Photographers of the White Mountains, that exhibit has remained in place through April 2022. A new exhibit for the mid-June opening reception in Franconia is in the planning stages. It will look back 75 years to the postwar revival of skiing after the Second World War in the U.S., and to the sudden rise to popularity of cross-country skiing in New Hampshire, particularly Jackson, some fifty years ago. No title for the exhibit has been announced as yet; so, stay tuned. Meanwhile, a segment of the 2020 exhibit on Ski Photographers of the White Mountains will be relocated temporarily to the North Conway facility. In preparation for their annual exhibits, staff members at the museum prepare a significant amount of research about numerous ski-related topics. Some of the leading topics that can be accessed by museum members include a chronology of Nordic skiing, histories of snowmaking and ski lifts, and a timeline of New England skiing. NESM also has a large number of holdings from individual collections. Currently, the museum locations are open seven days a week, from 10 am to 5 pm, between Memorial Day weekend through early April. From April 10, the Franconia Notch branch remains closed until May 27, while the North Conway branch goes to a Thursday through Sunday operation, from 10 am to 5 pm. In total, the collections housed in the Museum’s three facilities include numerous outstanding examples of skis, ski clothing, ski boots, books, periodicals, posters, film, photographs, postcards, personal papers, and more. Additionally, the Eastern Slope Branch contains a museum shop. Admission at both locations is free, with memberships encouraged, and donations gratefully accepted.

However, that is the exception. The permanent exhibits in North Conway and Franconia are different from each other. So, visiting both museums will be well worth the effort.”

The Pine River Esker
Robert E. Morency When driving North on NH Route 16, you reach a point on Wakefield Hill, where the White Mountains, and especially Mount Washington and the Presidential Range, suddenly come into view in the far distance. In the near distance, however, you might, amidst all the greenery, notice a patch of light-colored land, which often during weekday working hours, has what looks like a dust cloud rising from it. This is the Ossipee Aggregates sand and gravel operation, where dump trucks bound for local construction sites, and rail cars full of various sand and gravel products, begin their trip south to Dover on the New Hampshire Northcoast Railroad. The dust cloud marks the place where Route 16 and the Pine River Esker, a Late Glacial Depositional feature, meet up, and run together for a mile, or so, south of the railroad crossing. While heading to the North, along this highspeed stretch of winding road, the land rises gently, to your right, and forms a winding ridge, which parallels the roadway. This is one of the remnants of a glacial-age sand and gravel deposit, known as the Pine River Esker, most of which has been exploited for countless construction projects over the years. Two worth mentioning are the landfill used in the construction of the original Logan Airport, as well as the more recent Big Dig project, which changed the face of transportation in Boston. The Pine River Esker is one of a small number of glacio-fluvial features (glacial sediments derived from water flow features), known as “Stratified Drift Deposits.” These include, in addition to eskers: “kames” (isolated hummocks of sand and gravel, which originate as local sand and gravel mounds); the sandy bottoms of small ponds, “kettles,” which developed as the water in the ponds drained away on the upper surface of the retreating ice; and were left stranded on either the local bedrock (“ledge”), or compacted sediments (“glacial till” -also known as “hardpan.”) Likewise, sand and gravel can occur in stratified deposits on the sides of valleys, as the sand and gravel flows in streams at the margins of the ice occupying the valley. As the ice retreats, these deposits, called “kame terraces” can become valuable (but often hard to get to) sources of sand and gravel resources. By far, the most extensive and productive of these Stratified Drift Deposits, are the “Glaciofluvial Deltas,” which were deposited at the furthest reaches of meltwater streams, in lakes or marine environments, during times when the glaciers were retreating northward, under warming climatic conditions. Deltas may have complex layering, which indicate changes in how the meltwater was flowing, and deltas may also include desert-like dune deposits of sand and dust (“loess”), transported by the ever-shifting winds. An esker (from the Irish word, escair, meaning “ridge) is a landform that is formed as glacial meltwater runs toward the natural low point in the local glacial landscape. Eskers often are characterized by a sinuous shape, made up of smaller segments, that stand out as being higher than the surrounding ground on maps and aerial photographs (Figure 1.) Eskers remind us of dry sand and gravel rivers, which gives a clue as to their origin. In Figure 1, arrows point to several small deposits, left over from mining operations, and which line up in a snake-like shape, characteristic of a map view that streams take, called “meanders.” Eskers, which we have observed in present-day glaciers, form in tunnels under the ice, or as on the ice surface, and the meandering remnants are left as a clue to the sometimes fast-flowing stream environment in which the sand and gravel was deposited. Eskers are considered valuable resources because of their accessibility, and the convenient sorting that flowing water tends to give as a gift to gravel pit operators. The eskers sometimes are found along with the larger delta deposits on the shores of glacial lakes, and may contribute larger-sized gravels, which are much desired in concrete production, and which further enhance the value of eskers. It’s hard to overstate the importance of the sand and gravel industry in New Hampshire, and with it, the vital role of the Owner/ Operators and their employees. These folks contribute to local economies, and without their locally available construction products, the cost of housing, roads and road maintenance, and wastewater management (rural septic systems), would rise significantly, along with fuel costs for delivery of these critical materials.

While on the subject of the Pine River Esker, local legends about the Pine River being one of only a handful of north-flowing rivers persist and are correct. The river does not flow into Pine River Pond, but instead, flows out of the north end of the pond toward, and just northwest of, Green Mountain, in Effingham, where it becomes part of the Ossipee Lake watershed at a boat launch on NH Route 25, just east of its intersection with Route 16. Eventually, somewhere between the towns of Cornish and West Baldwin Maine, the Ossipee River (outflow from Ossipee Lake) joins the Saco River, where it flows into the Atlantic Ocean. at Saco, Maine. The northward flow is understandable, when examining Figure 2, which shows a cluster of hills to the southeast of the location of Pine River Pond. These hills block the southeasterly ground- water flow out of pond, and forces the flow to the northwest, toward Ossipee Lake and, as described above, into the Ossipee River watershed, and beyond to the Saco River Watershed, which begins at the top of Crawford Notch in the White Mountains. So, Pine River Pond is easily seen as being untouched by mining operations and benefitting from natural protection from the geology of the Pine River Pond watershed However, there still remains an ongoing challenge, due to the human usage of the pond. Water quality remains, as always, a concern, but it is comforting to realize that improved regulation of land practices and monitoring of sand and gravel mining by Ossipee Aggregates, in cooperation with the NH Department of Environmental Services, can continue to build a sustainable and robust economy in Southern Carroll County for the foreseeable future.
