Learn Fly Fishing with Hill Country Guides By Sarah Wright If you’re looking for a new way to enjoy the outdoors this summer, Nate Hill would suggest fly fishing, whether you’re a beginner or already an avid fisherman. Nate is the owner of Hill Country Guides in North Conway, which offers full-service, guided wade and float fishing trips in the White Mountains from mid-March through November. Nate is a licensed state fishing guide, and he strives to ensure the best fishing possible on any given day. In fact, when he’s not guiding, he’s surveying the water in multiple locations. Whether you want to fish in a pristine mountain stream, a calming meadow creek, a sprawling river, or a remote pond, Hill Country Guides can take you there. Think fly fishing looks difficult? Well, think again! “It’s definitely more difficult than regular fishing, but you will catch a fish,” says Nate. “It’s challenging using the line to move a very light fly, but we start beginners on a pond with basic casting instructions,” he continues, “then we focus on moving the line with your hand and reeling the fish in.” Hill Country Guides uses the sustainable practice of catch-andrelease, and the hooks are barb-less. This ensures that there will be fish in the future. Fly fishing is also a great opportunity to learn more about nature and local ecology. Nate says, “I think it’s a great way to get outside and be in nature in an active manner instead of a pas-

Angler Brandon Forauer (left) and Hill Country Guide owner Nate Hill. (courtesy photo) sive one. It’s meditative—an escape. You’re not only physically outdoors, but also mentally involved.” He says that anyone can fish. The youngest kids he’s taught were around five years old. “As long as they’re physically able to, they can learn,” says Nate. He recommends a half-day trip to a small stream

for young children. Nate has always enjoyed the outdoors. Although he grew up in Franklin, Massachusetts, his family spent a lot of time in North Conway. He went backpacking a lot when he was a kid, and started fishing with his Dad when he was just three. Nate mentioned the

movie, A River Runs Through It, for what it did for fly fishing. The sport was a large part of the storyline, and Nate’s Dad decided to try it; soon Nate was fly fishing as well. When he was around 11, he caught his first trout on the Ellis River in the White Mountains and he remembers how proud he felt. When Nate got his driver’s license, he could go farther to fish, and he eventually moved to North Conway permanently. Hill Country Guides offers fishing excursions for groups of up to 10 people. Trips are available seven days a week for a four-hour half-day or an eight-hour trip. You’ll enjoy your fishing experience from a Stealthcraft Skinny Skiff or a Smithfly Big Shoals raft. All equipment is supplied. If you’re looking to purchase your own gear, Hill Country Guides is a partner with Mountain High Fly in Lincoln. Here are the amazing fishing locations you’ll get to choose from: Fish along the mighty Androscoggin River for a full day and you might catch a brook trout, brown trout, rainbow trout, landlocked salmon, smallmouth bass, or Fall Fish. Learn to use a variety of flies and techniques like fishing small caddis, casting large streamers, dead drifting nymphs, and an evening spinner fall, all in one trip. The Saco River offers a variety of angling experiences throughout the season. Prime time for dry fly fishing

Page 4 | ALONG ROUTE 16 | June 2020 • Fishing Continued from page 3 is from June through September. The Saco gets stocked with brook, brown, and rainbow trout. Trips in June are recommended for early morning or late evening when the dry fly fishing is at its finest, and the crowds are low. The Saco also provides opportunities to catch monster trout on streamers. This fishing is best done from a raft, early or late in the season. Fishing is best when water levels are up and wade fishermen are sidelined. Hill Country Guides does a lot of this fishing before the river is stocked for the season, targeting wild and holdover brown trout. (These trips are recommended for experienced anglers looking to hunt for trophy fish.) The Ellis River is a classic mountain stream complete with colorful wild brook trout. In its lower stretches, the Ellis also contains stocked brook and rainbow trout. There is a wide variety of bug life and the fish seem to shift their feeding habits regularly. This

makes it is a great river for learning a variety of fly-fishing techniques. Are you interested in catching wild and native fish? If so, then sign up for a Wild Brook Trout trip! You’ll fish in waters that are unstocked and unpressured. Trout can be wary of predators from above, but strike hard when a fly is well presented. Much of this water is spring-fed and low-gradient, allowing for sight fishing and explosive surface action. Many people believe that wild NH brook trout max-out at six inches. These fish average eight inches, and sometimes up to 12 inches. Looking for a true adventure that includes some hiking? Take a Mountain Stream Trip! Over the past 18 years, Nate has been hiking and fishing a multitude of mountain streams in and around the White Mountains. These streams provide exceptional dry fly fishing for both wild and stocked brook, brown, and rainbow trout. Trout from 10 to over 12 inches are not uncommon. The trip requires some hiking that can range from a tenth of a mile to three miles, depending on your preference. Mountain streams can

be effectively fished with dry flies, but Nate will show you a few seldom-used techniques that catch the biggest fish in the river. Hill Country Guides has partnered with Red Brook Tenkara (www. redbrooktenkara.com) to offer you Tenkara Trips. Tenkara is a Japanese style of fly fishing best suited to small streams. This method consists of a telescoping rod that can be adjusted in length to over 12 feet, and a braided Dacron line that attaches to a short, thick-knotted rope at the rod’s tip. With no reel to worry about and a light line that helps flies flutter to the water’s surface, Tenkara rods are deadly effective on steep, broken pocket-water rivers. Here in the White Mountains the streams are perfect for Tenkara fishing, and the Hill Country Guides are eager to show you how it works. If you’re looking for a photo opportunity to post on social media, you should consider a Trophy Trout Trip. New Hampshire has world-class trout, and Hill Country Guides have spent the better part of the last decade studying the habits and daily behaviors of the

state’s trophy trout. Many of these fish are found in larger waters away from the commonly fished or commonly stocked locations. Others live right in plain sight of popular fishing spots, but prefer to eat the trout that most anglers are targeting. (Trophy Trout trips can be done year-round, depending on conditions.) If you’d like to add a day of fishing to a longer vacation, consider staying at the Riverwood Inn in Jackson, the base of operations for Hill Country Guides. The Inn is located right on the confluence of the Ellis and Wildcat rivers, two of the best brook trout fishing spots. There’s also nearby access to Jackson Pond for casting lessons, and a cabin for gear storage. Visit Hill Country Guides at www. whitemountainflyfishing.com for rates and further information about fishing excursions. If you’d like to schedule a fishing trip or have more questions, call 603-835-3358 or email info@whitemountainflyfishing.com. Get ready for a new adventure this summer!

Land for the Future

An Introduction to Conservation Easements and Generous Landowners By Virginia Long, MMRG Public Relations Coordinator Do you have a favorite place to walk in the woods? Are you concerned that it could be developed someday? One of the most effective ways to protect land from ever being developed is with a conservation easement. In this second article in a series by your local land trust, Moose Mountains Regional Greenways (MMRG), I will explain what a conservation easement is, why it has financial value, and the role of the land trust as ‘easement holder’. In a first article, we gave basic information about conservation land and land trusts; the final article in the series will discuss the many benefits of conserving land. Throughout the series, I will introduce you to conservation-minded people and suggest great places to enjoy nature. A conservation easement is a way for landowners to voluntarily and permanently protect their land from development. The conservation easement itself is a deed, attached to the property deed, that names a specific land trust (or government agency) as the easement holder. The land trust, as easement holder, has the legal responsibility to watch over the conserved land forever. When land protected by a conservation easement is eventually inherited or sold to a new landowner, it still cannot be developed, and the land trust can use legal means to enforce that, if necessary. Fred Cann is a landowner in Brookfield who decided to protect his land with a conservation easement to honor his late wife, Edna, a self-taught naturalist and lover of wildlife. Reflecting on the process, which was completed three years ago, Fred remarks, “I was totally ignorant when I began. I read about someone else conserving his land and called you [MMRG] to learn

Split Rock Conservation Area more. Now I have a great feeling that it was the right decision, a conviction reinforced by all the wildlife that MMRG has discovered here since then.” One of the things Cann was surprised to learn is that a conservation easement has a dollar value. He comments, “This is a central concept but not obvious by any means.” Once land is conserved, it can no longer be sold for a development purpose, which normally brings the highest purchase price. This means that conserving land reduces its dollar value by an amount equal to the value of the development rights. When landowners choose to donate a conservation easement to a land trust, they give away the development rights, which are extinguished. Cann elaborates, “It took me a while to understand this very abstract thing, that the value of the easement is the value of the development rights, and that is what is being donated. The landowner still has the right to do anything else with the property.”

Most landowners who choose to conserve their land do so because they feel strongly about keeping their land in its natural state and frequently experience the same deep satisfaction that Cann expresses. Because the conserved land loses some of its re-sale value once the development rights are extinguished, an easement donation can bring a tax deduction to some donors. On the other hand, in certain conservation projects for which the funds can be raised, the landowners can be compensated for the development rights on their land. Even for donated easements, land trusts must raise money to cover expenses associated with the easement, such as survey and title costs, attorney’s fees to review the easement deed, and real estate closing fees. In addition to those immediate transaction costs, a stewardship endowment must be raised to cover future expenses. Staff or trained volunteers must walk the conserved property on a yearly basis, forever, and the land trust must be fi-

nancially prepared if legal action is required to enforce the easement restrictions. The primary effect of a conservation easement is to disallow any future development. Other restrictions can be incorporated, however, if the landowners wish and the easement holder agrees. Such restrictions might include no clear cutting or even no trespassing. “Our easement doesn’t allow hunting or trapping or motorized vehicles, but the land is open for people to walk and enjoy,” explains Cann, adding, “and please keep dogs leashed.” “Generous conservation-minded landowners make our work gratifying and joyful,” says Nicole Csiszer, Chair of MMRG’s Board of Directors. “I believe I speak for the whole board, staff and membership in thanking all the landowners who have donated a conservation easement to MMRG. In addition to the easement donated by the Cann family, we are honored to hold donated easements on the land of Rodney and Judy Thompson of Farmington, Victor Piekarski and Gloria Switalski of New Durham, and Stephen Snow of Brookfield, as well as a backup easement on Jonathan and Anne Nute’s land in Milton. We are also grateful to the many landowners we assisted with easement donations to other land trusts before MMRG started accepting easements. The extraordinary generosity of all these individuals will benefit generations to come.” The final article in this series will explain the many public benefits of conservation land.

Advice To The Players’ Summer Camp is Coming…Online In these uncertain times, art is what we have all been turning to and Advice To The Players’ (ATTP), located in Sandwich, New Hampshire, is committed to creating art for the community. In order to accomplish this, ATTP’s 2020 summer season will be going online. ATTP staff are currently working on offering the entire summer season online so that it is accessible to all. It is hoped that sometime in the season ATTP will be able to return to in-person offerings; these efforts will all be in accordance with current CDC and New Hampshire state recommendations for safety and social distancing. Advice To The Players’ two-week camps are going online this year. The camps, running from July 20 to 31, are theatre experiences in which teaching artists immerse youth (ages 5-17) in the art and craft of acting, and the terms and techniques used to create Shakespeare’s plays. These experiences and skills include theatre games, clown skills, movement and dance, culminating in a rousing performance of Shakespeare’s work at the end of camp, adapted by Advice To The Players’ teaching artists and campers. Sign-ups are encouraged by July 6 so the office staff have time to prepare and mail materials to all campers. Electronic and physical materials will be emailed/mailed to each individual camper. Both new and returning teaching artists will join ATTP’s summer camp. The following camps are geared to various age groups, and all offer a fun opportunity to learn about Shakespeare’s writing/plays in an entertaining manner.

ATTP’s Young Players Practicum is but one of many camps to be offered this summer.

Shakesperience for ages 5 to 7 will offer an introduction to theatre through arts activities and free-play. Shakesperience for the very young combines active play with stories, poetry, music, games, movement, hands-on projects and free-play. The camp runs from Monday to Friday, 10 to 11:30 am. Shakesperience for ages 8 to 12 brings the Baird’s work to life through performance, theatre games, and activities. The camp is back for its 14th year as it leads 8- to 12-year-olds on an exciting journey into the fascinating world of Shakespeare and theater. Lots of fun, games, improvisation, and bringing Shakespeare’s colorful characters and plays to life on the stage are planned. The camp runs Monday to Friday from 9 am to noon. For ages 13 to 17, a teen-centered Shakesperience offers theatre-loving teens a dynamic exploration of Shakespeare’s words, stories, and themes. Improv, clowning, text, voice, movement and stage technique, Elizabethan dance, and performance provide keys to theatrical adventure and summer fun. The camp runs Monday to Friday from 9 am to noon. Young Players practicum is for ages

13 and up and will give students advanced training and participation in ATTPs’ August production of As You Like It. The Young Players Practicum is designed for young actors ages 13 and up who want to explore new acting challenges and participate in a

professional Shakespeare production. With limited enrollment, this fourweek program kicks off with three afternoons of individualized, intensive acting training, followed by participation in As You Like It. Areas of instruction include monologue and/or scene study, stage voice development, text tools for examining Shakespeare’s verse, clown, period dance, and movement. The class runs July 20 to 22, from 1 to 4 pm, before joining the cast of As You Like It for rehearsals from July 23 to August 7, with performances August 8 to 16. For information on ATTP’s summer camps and to register, visit www.advicetotheplayers.org or call 603-284-7115.

Celebrate the 4th with a Great Burger Barbecue season has arrived, and soon people will be in the backyard cooking up hamburgers and hot dogs. Backyard barbecue season begins in spring and continues through summer and, where the weather allows, into fall. While it’s fun to expand your culinary horizons over the open flame of a grill, it’s important that you never forget the basics. A basic burger is tasty, but you can still try your hand at a little experimentation when creating burgers for your next backyard barbecue. The following recipe for “Herb Cheese-Stuffed Garlic Burgers” from Andrew Schloss’ and David Joachim’s “Mastering the Grill” (Chronicle Books) provides the best of both worlds. Herb Cheese-Stuffed Garlic Burgers Makes 6 servings 2 pounds ground beef chuck, 85% lean 2 tablespoons chopped garlic 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt 1⁄4 teaspoon ground black pepper 3 tablespoons herbed garlic cream cheese, such as Boursin 6 hamburger buns, split Oil for coating grill grate The Grill: Gas: Direct heat, medium-high 425 F to 450 F; clean, oiled grate Charcoal: Direct heat, light ash; 12-by-12-inch charcoal bed (about 3 dozen coals); clean, oiled grate on lowest setting Wood: Direct heat, light ash; 12-by12-inch bed, 3 to 4 inches deep; clean, oiled grate set 2 inches above the fire 1. Heat the grill as directed. 2. Using your hands, mix the beef, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl until well blended; do not over mix. Using a light touch, form into 12 patties no more than 1⁄2-inch thick. 3. Put a portion (about 1 1⁄2 teaspoons) of cream cheese in the center

of each of the 6 patties; top with the remaining patties and press together, taking care to seal the edges well. Refrigerate the burgers until the grill is ready. 4. Brush the grill grate and coat it with oil. Put the burgers on the grill, cover and cook for 9 minutes, flipping after 5 minutes, for medium-done (150 F, slightly pink). Add a minute per side for well-done (160 F). 5. To toast the buns, put them cutsides down directly over the fire for the last minute of cooking. 6. If serving the burgers directly from the grill, serve on the buns. If the burgers will sit, even for a few minutes, keep the buns and burgers separate until just before eating. This recipe for “Best Burger With Blue Cheese Butter” courtesy of Eric Treuille and Birgit Erath’s “Grilling”

Get A Move On

(DK Publishing) offers a new take on a backyard barbecue staple. Best Burger With Blue Cheese Butter Makes 4 servings 1 pound ground chuck steak 2 teaspoons salt 1teaspoon black pepper 4 1⁄2-inch slices blue cheese butter (see below) 4 sesame hamburger buns, halved Combine ground steak with salt and pepper. Divide into 4 equal-sized pieces and gently shape into 4 burgers about 1 inch thick. Grill burgers and warm buns according to instructions below. Top burgers with butter and serve hot in sesame buns. Outdoor cooking: Grill over hot coals for 3 minutes per side for rare, 4 minutes per side for

medium rare, or 5 minutes per side for well done. Place buns cut side down on grill until warm and lightly golden, 1 minute. Indoor cooking: Preheat a ridged cast-iron grill pan over high heat. Cook for 3 minutes per side for rare, 4 minutes per side for medium rare, or 5 minutes per side for well done. Place buns cut side down on grill pan until lightly golden, 1 minute. Blue-Cheese Butter Makes 15 servings 16 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened 4 ounces (1 cup crumbled) blue cheese 2 teaspoons black pepper Place ingredients in a food processor or blender; pulse until well blended. Wrap in foil. Place in the freezer until hard, about 45 minutes. To serve, roll back foil and cut into 1⁄2-inch slices. When slicing from frozen, warm the knife under hot water first. After slicing, always tightly rewrap the unused flavored butter roll in the foil before returning to refrigerator or freezer. Best Burger Variations • Herbed Burger: Add 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 crushed garlic clove and 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion to the ground steak. • Spicy Burger: Add 1⁄2 teaspoon Tabasco, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard to the ground steak. Think ahead: Shape burgers up to 1 day in advance. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Cooks’ Note: Overhandling the meat when shaping will result in a tough, dry burger. To guarantee a juicy burger, handle the meat as little as possible. (Recipes courtesy Metro Creative)

NH Outside with Emma Is organic fertilizer better for lawns? By Emma Erler A key part of maintaining a lush, healthy lawn is proper fertilization. Garden center shelves are filled with multiple choices, and it can be hard to know which product is right for your lawn. One clear distinction is whether a fertilizer is organic or conventional. There are pros and cons to each option, and understanding which to apply to your lawn requires a little background on how fertilizers work and the nutrients that all plants need. Organic fertilizers are especially popular among home gardeners because of the many potential benefits they provide to the soil. Here’s what you need to know if you’re thinking about switching to organic fertilizers this season. How plants use fertilizer Organic and conventional fertilizers are safe for lawns and the environment as long as they are used properly. The process of how plants absorb nutrients is the same whether they come from an organic or inorganic fertilizer, so, from the grasses’ perspective, it doesn’t really matter which type of fertilizer you use. Plants are only able to take up nutrients in certain ionic forms. For example, nitrogen is only absorbed by plants as nitrate (NO3-) or ammonium (NH4+) ions, and potassium is only taken up as the potassium ion (K+). Soluble inorganic fertilizers provide nutrients in these forms so they are immediately available for plant uptake. They are fast-acting and fairly inexpensive. However, because all of the nutrients are available at once, perennial

grasses can’t use them all, and many are quickly lost from the soil. This means that you may need to fertilize more than once throughout the growing season unless you are using a slow-release formula that contains greater than 50 percent water-insoluble nitrogen. In contrast, organic fertilizers have to be broken down by microorganisms in the soil for the nutrients to be released in the right form to be absorbed through plant roots. Due to this fact, organic fertilizers release nutrients over a fairly long period of time. Though they are more expensive and less concentrated pound for pound than inorganic fertilizers, organic fertilizers do provide real benefits to the soil that inorganic fertilizers do not. Over time, they can improve soil structure, increase soil water holding capacity, and promote the activity of important soil microorganisms, contributing to a healthier soil environment for plants. Environmental concerns The main downside to organic fertilizers is that the proportions of nutrients are usually different from what grass requires for growth. In particular, many of these materials often contain far more phosphorus than lawns need. If gardeners try to apply enough organic fertilizer to meet the nitrogen needs of their lawn, they will usually add way more phosphorus than the grass can absorb. Over time, this can lead to very high levels of soil phosphorus. New Hampshire soils tend to be very high in phosphorus, and it is a rare lawn that requires phosphorus fertilization. While having extra phosphorus in the

soil doesn’t hurt the lawn, it can contribute to surface water pollution when it runs off the landscape. Excess phosphorus in water bodies can cause algae blooms that harm water quality and aquatic organisms. In order to use organic fertilizers in an effective and environmentally sound way, have your soil tested to learn its pH and nutrient status. Selecting an organic lawn fertilizer All packaged organic fertilizer products will have a fertilizer analysis or grade that refers to the percentages of nitrogen (N), phosphate (P2O5) and potassium (K2O) in the fertilizer. On a fertilizer label, these nutrients will be listed as three numbers in the order N-P-K. For example, a 10-2-2 fertilizer contains 10 percent nitrogen, 2 percent phosphate and 2 potassium. One hundred pounds of this fertilizer would hold 10 pounds of nitrogen, 15 pounds of phosphate and zero pounds of potash. If a soil test indicates that the levels of some nutrients are high, try to choose a product that has low concentrations of those nutrients. There is a turf fertilizer law in New Hampshire that dictates that no retail fertilizer product should exceed 0.9 pounds per 1,000 square feet of total nitrogen can be put down per fertilizer application, when applied according to the product label. That means that with each fertilizer application you should be putting down no more than 0.9 pounds of actual nitrogen per 1,000 square feet. You can figure out how much fertilizer to apply by doing a few simple calculations. Additional-

ly, no more than 3.25 pounds per 1,000 square feet of total nitrogen should be applied in a year, as directed by the instructions. Exceeding this rate of nitrogen fertilization can not only cause environmental harm, but it can make turf grasses more susceptible to pest issues. The most important times to fertilize the lawn are in mid to late spring and early fall. If you only want to fertilize your lawn once, choose to fertilize in early fall when the grass can make the most use of the nutrients. Organic fertilizers can be a a good choice for New Hampshire lawns, but they must be used appropriately. Though they are often viewed as safer for children and pets, and the best choice for the environment, that is only true if the right organic fertilizer is chosen based on soil nutrient availability. Ultimately, using a fertilizer properly according to the label instructions or based on soil test results is most important. Whether the nutrients come from organic or synthetic sources does not matter to the lawn. (Courtesy of UNH Extension, Ask UNH Extension.

Yester year Celebrating the Fourth During War Times and a Pandemic By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper Early summer 1918 in New Hampshire’s Conway area meant the end of the school year, summer folks coming to visit, hoping for word from young men far away fighting a world war, and of course, a pandemic. Although it was not always referred to as a pandemic (it was often dubbed the Spanish flu), it was obvious the virus was taking hold by the number of obituaries and mentions of “recovering from illness” and “suffering from pneumonia” to name but a few news tidbits in the local Reporter for the Conway area. The June 6, 1918 issue of The Reporter had a story titled “Hotels Urged to Serve Corn Bread”. Although this seems a strange topic, at the time it

was quite relevant. According to J. Ben Hart, chairman of the Hotel and Restaurant Committee of the New Hampshire Food Administration, the normal monthly wheat consumption in the United States was 42 million bushels and the available supply was dwindling. On the other hand, The Reporter stated, all over the country and in New Hampshire, there was a large corn meal surplus. Consumers were urged to use the cornmeal before it spoiled in the upcoming hot summer weather. The subtitle of the story was “Public Eating Places All Over the State Furnished Recipes”. The article further went on to dispel a rumor that was in circulation among the state’s farmers. Those who were growing wheat heard stories

that the government would take away any wheat that was raised. “The story is absolutely false and is probably of German origin. It has had circulation in various parts of the country but has no foundation in fact, whatsoever.” Due to the war, suspicion of Germany was running high. A book drive held at the time was highly successful and it was reported “partial returns from the recent drive to gather books for the soldiers made by the libraries of the country indicate that New Hampshire made an enviable record. The people of the state gave in all 23,914 books, which means five books for every 100 people in the state.” During and after the pandemic and World War I, every community was touched by the problems playing out around the world. In the Conway area, summer was just beginning and the chance to get outdoors offered some relief from the problems around the globe. According to the July 1, 1920 edition of The Reporter, two baseball games were to take place on July 5. Played by former New England League, college and semi pro players, the games would take place in the morning and afternoon. The admission charge was 35 cents for “gents” and 25 cents for ladies; children under age 12 were admitted free for both games. It can be assumed there were picnics and celebrating along with the fun baseball games. Those who wanted evening entertainment could stop by the Bijou Theatre in

Conway for dancing with “pictures at the same time.” On July 3, “When Bear Cat Went Dry”, a great western comedy, was scheduled. In the same issue, the Rev. Kennet Forbes of Roxbury, Massachusetts arrived to “pass the summer at the rectory and assume charge of Christ Church for two months. On Sunday morning next at 10:30, it being July 4th, a special patriotic service will be held. To this service the public is most cordially invited. The services at Grace Chapel will be Holy Communion at 9 o’clock with service at 3 in the afternoon.” Tamworth news reports stated, “Our summer people are coming again, with Prof. John Finely and family at their summer home on Stevenson Hill.” In the July 1, 1920 edition of The Reporter, a story titled “The Fourth at North Conway” says the holiday was celebrated with “the same quiet nature with a few pranks that characterizes the day every year here. Coming on Sunday afforded two days in which one was entitled to celebrate and some did. The home brew was in evidence but not to any extent. The chief excitement was the burning of the railroad bridge at Conway which spanned the Swift River.” On the 4th of July evening in 1920, Dr. E. G. Lancaster told a thrilling tale at the North Conway Library of the most

June 2020 | ALONG ROUTE 16 | Page 11 • Yesteryear Continued from page 10 dreaded bear known to history. The bear was called Old Satan and was finally killed by a courageous dog! The war was in every segment of society in 1917 and 1918, and The Reporter told of activities at the Madison Corner School. It was written that 20 or more ladies met at the Corner schoolhouse to attend the presentation of the Service Flag. The program featured Singing of America, presentation of the Flag by the Silver Lake Woman’s Club, the Service Flag recitation, a talk by Mrs. Minnie Gerry naming each star and a recitation of “The Mother of a Solider” by Gertrude Webster. The school children recited “Blue and the Grey” and “Stay at Home Stars” by Edson Kennett. Following this, relatives of some of the young men in service read letters. A long list appeared in the June 3, 1918 issue of The Reporter, telling of 113 men in Carroll County who came of age since June 1917 and were required to register by June 1918. In the next column of the paper, a piece titled “Letter from Percy Eastman of Kearsarge, now

in France” started “Dear Folks, A few words of cheer for the folks at home.” He went on to write, “One of the most interesting things to watch is an air battle which we have a chance to see most every day while at the front. We are just back from the front where we were for sixteen days and are very glad to have the chance to rest up, which will only be for a few days as we expect to return in a few days.” In stark contrast, a large ad for the Bijou Theatre in Conway on the same page listed a Mary Pickford silent movie, and other pictures, as well as music by Straw’s Orchestra. One cannot help but think soldier Percy Eastman would have rather preferred to watch a movie in his hometown rather than face battle duty in faraway France. The war came to tranquil Conway with a War Savings Stamp Drive where “every man, woman and child is expected to do his duty. New Hampshire’s quota is $20 per capita and we must pledge to raise this sometime this year. No fear, the old Granite State will not be found wanting,” the article told readers. Fast-forward to World War II, and the July 1, 1943 told readers of 4th of July regulations, such as “No person

shall within the compact of the town, fire or discharge any cannon, gun, pistol or other firearms, nor beat a drum, except by command of a military officer having authority therefor; nor fire or discharge any rockets, squibs, crackers or gun powder.” If you wanted to indulge in sweets to celebrate the Fourth, you could visit The Log Cabin in North Conway for “an assortment of home made candies and attractive assortment of gifts.” It was advertised as the 53rd season for the business. Or perhaps you would enjoy a meal at Manley’s Pine Tree Dining Room just south of North Conway, which was open, for the summer season. The eatery offered home cooked breakfast, lunch and dinner and was open till midnight for sandwiches or a snack. Interesting to note, in the July 1, 1943 issue, a headline read “Skimobile Announces Summer Schedule” referring to the Cranmore Skimobile that would begin operation on July 4. It likely proved very popular with vacationers and locals looking for fun during war times. About a week later, the headline on

the front page of The Reporter read, “Quietest Fourth in History.” The story told readers, “This year will go down in history as having the sanest and most quiet observation of the Fourth of July ever known in the village of Conway. No firecrackers or toy pistols to make the day hideous, or no mischief to make trouble for the already overburdened. While the youngsters undoubtedly would have enjoyed more of a racket, the old folks have found the quiet restful and delightful.” The wartime vacation news in that issue told vacationers, “Hotels of the Region are deeply interested in OPA’s latest ruling, permitting one round trip by car for vacation travel under certain circumstances. While the procedure involved applying for a definite trip to one’s local rationing board, first reports from newspapers indicate that many are willing to go to that trouble for the reward which it offers.” Information for this story was obtained from back copies of The Reporter (of North Conway) available online at the Conway Public Library website – www.conwaypubliclibrary.org.

Tin Mountain Conservation Center Receives Pequawket Foundation Fund Grant Birding, gardening, weather and wildlife just a few of the programs planned for the Day Center. Tin Mountain Conservation Center recently received a grant from the Pequawket Foundation Fund of the NH Charitable Foundation to offer nature programs at the Mt. Washington Valley Adult Day Center. “This grant enables Tin Mountain to expand its experiential environmental programs to the participants and attendees at the Mt. Washington Valley Adult Day Center,” said Lori Kinsey, executive director of Tin Mountain Conservation Center. “The goal is to combine the strength and expertise of the staff at the Adult Day Center in working with adults with cognitive challenges, with the environmental experience and knowledge of the staff at Tin Mountain to co-create this multi-sensory environmental program,” she added. Together, the staff of both organizations will fine tune programming to provide therapeutic benefits for the Day Center’s participants. Many of the adults participating in the Adult Day Center grew up in the region and have a strong connection to nature. Some were avid birders, gardeners, canoeists, and hikers and many maintain a strong

connection with the environment. Some express their love of nature through art and writing. The goal is to use the environment and the Tin Mountain programs to strengthen the bond and memories participants have with the natural world. Programs will provide an opportunity for adults to connect with the environment, share stories about the birds and animals they see, hikes they have taken, the weather and what’s growing in their garden. The natural world offers a multi-sensory opportunity for memory challenged adults to see, smell, touch and experience the environment. “We’re thrilled to be able to provide funding for this experiential programming to the Adult Day Center. This joining of resources combines two well respected organizations in the Valley and enables mutually beneficial outcomes,” said Linda Gray, member of the Pequawket Foundation Fund and Senior Philanthropy Advisor for the NH Charitable Foundation Topics and plans for Tin Mountain programs for the Adult Day Center include a weather program, where participants can observe the changing weath-

er patterns, see the lightening, feel the rain, hear the thunder and smell the earth after a spring rainstorm. A wildlife program will include animal mounts so participants can see the size of the animal, touch the fur or feathers and hear the sounds the animal makes. A birding program would include feathers, bird mounts, recordings and pictures to stimulate memories of early morning walks in the woods or filling bird feeders at home. The goal of all the programs is to fully engage the adults, using as many senses as possible to connect with the environment, as well as the program leaders and other participants through stories, art, and memories. In addition to providing sensory and memory stimulus, the environment also offers peacefulness and provides a sense of calm. A babbling brook or the rustle of the wind through the leaves may be a calming influence for some. “Nature is a wonderful medium to spark memories and excitement as well as help calm and relax people, depending upon what they need,” shared Anna Allocco, activities coordinator for the MWV Adult Day Center. Tin Mountain has moved forward with opportunities to incorporate nature by installing eight bluebird boxes, two kestrel boxes and an owl box around the property for staff, visitors and attendees to enjoy. The grant provides funding to add a variety of bird feeders and possibly bird baths so everyone can observe and enjoy the birds

from both inside and outside the building. For over 40 years, Tin Mountain has continued to provide experiential nature programs to residents and visitors throughout the greater Mt. Washington Valley and western Maine. Tin Mountain offers environmental science classes and activities for students from pre-K through 12th grade through both in-school and after-school programs. Through its Nature Program Series and eco-forums, families and individuals have learned about everything from ancient trees, salamanders and frogs to money-saving, energy-efficient window inserts and incorporating squash into fall menus. Live animal programs enable families to get up close and personal with owls, bear and other woodland wildlife. Both virtual and live Environmental Trivia test environmental knowledge. Whether joining the fun from the safety of home during the ‘stay at home’ order or joining Tin Mountain at Tuckerman Brewery, trivia participants are sure to learn something new. Tin Mountain also offers naturalist led field trips along with a wide variety of summer camp programs to get folks outside, in nature, where they are able to learn more, experience first-hand, and deepen both their awareness and appreciation of nature.

Spending time outside? Keep an eye out for Emerald Ash Borer The State of New Hampshire is reminding residents and visitors of the steps they can take to help slow the spread of Emerald Ash Borer. First identified in the state in 2013, EAB is now found in all New Hampshire counties except for Coos. A non-native beetle, EAB larvae feed on the inner bark of ash trees, which then die when they are unable to transport water and nutrients. Currently, EAB is widely considered the most damaging forest pest in North America. Trees infested by EAB can be visually identified in three ways: - Through “blonding,” which happens when birds have removed an ash tree’s bark in search of EAB. - Through S-shaped patterns under bark. - Through D-shaped exit holes left by larvae. The public can help slow the spread of EAB by limiting any movement of ash

logs and firewood. In New Hampshire, ash firewood should not be transported more than five miles unless it has been seasoned for more than 12 months in the area where it was harvested, or it can be delivered and burned between Sept. 1 and June 1. Anyone wishing to process ash logs should confirm that they are not infested or debark them immediately. Shipping ash logs out of New Hampshire to Maine still requires a federal compliance agreement. The cost of EAB treatments, removals and replacements in the urban forest throughout all 25 infested eastern states is estimated to cost billions of dollars. The cost to forest landowners, the forest industry and the environment is virtually impossible to calculate. Anyone who suspects that they may have found EAB should report their findings to nhbugs.org or call 800-444-

8978.

characteristics and outbreak locations, as well as steps that residents, visitors, municipalities and industries can take to help control the spread of EAB, can also be found at nhbugs.org. Part of the N.H. Department of Natural and Cultural Resources, the Divi-
