For the safety of the parade and spectators, Wolfeboro Police will block off those streets that intersect Main Street.

Wolfeboro Police Chief Dean Rondeau, in his police vehicle, will lead the parade. A police car will also be the trail vehicle. The Wolfeboro Fire-Rescue Department will have emergency medical stations along the parade route as well as a gator available to move anyone requiring medical transportation.

The theme of this year’s Wolfeboro 4th of July Parade is “Strength through Adversity!” Due to time constraints and the desire to minimize crowding, the parade will be limited in size to the first 50 applicants.

What could be more fun for the whole family than a visit to the NH Farm Museum in Milton? You can celebrate at the 4th on the Farm with some events that bring history to life.

Celebrate the birth of our nation on Independence Day! NH Farm Museum guides in period dress will be serving strawberry shortcake with homemade whipped cream on the farm’s porch.

Local musicians will be playing traditional patriotic music. Listen to the reading of the Declaration of Independence by a costumed patriot and experience the firing of a musket. Explore the Big Barn, visit the Blacksmith shop, or take a tractor ride around the farm with family and friends. The farm is located at 1305 White Mt. Highway in Milton. Call 603-652-7840 or visit www.NHFarmMuseum.org for a list of this season’s events.

The kiddies will enjoy the Children’s Summer Theater Series at Theater in the Wood, 41 Observatory Way in Intervale. The shows start on July 1 just in time for the 4 th holiday weekend with the Little Mermaid. Every other week, the Summer Children’s Theater shows will be performed by professional actors alongside Theater in the Wood’s Youth Campers!

See each magical journey come to life on Fridays at 4:15 pm. The schedule is July 15: Beauty and the Beast; July 29: Tarzan; August 12: Alice in Wonderland; and Hercules on August 20. Visit www.believeinbooks.org for information.

Midsummer Magic Fundraising Benefit…and Shakesperience Mark your calendars for the secret Midsummer Magic Fundraising Benefit and unlock some mythical surprises! Join Advice To The Players (ATTP) at the Sandwich Fairgrounds on June 20 for the Midsummer Night’s Dream Experience, an enchanted fundraising benefit.

In the evening, drive or walk through the Sandwich Fairgrounds for the Enchanted Midsummer Experience. As you make your way through the fairgrounds you will be greeted, hoodwinked and serenaded by characters from A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Whether walking or driving, the experience should take you 15 to 20 minutes and is geared toward all ages. Tickets will be sold in five minute blocks for each walking/driving pod.

The experience will end with an optional drive-in movie style screening of the March production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream at 8:30 pm. Sit in the comfort of your own car or on the grass and watch this fabulous performance.

The event will follow current CDC

and local public health recommendations specific to performing arts.

Proceeds support Advice To The Players summer artists and education programs.

Shakesperience Camp 2021 Join Advice To The Players’ for the group’s two-week camps this summer.

The camps 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—all of which culminates into a rousing performance of Shakespeare’s work at the end of camp, adapted by teaching artists and campers. Sign up for camp today by emailing jessie@advicetotheplayers.org.

This year ATTP will be offering camps both online and in-person so that all campers can have a wonderful Shakesperience!

There will be new and returning teaching artists joining the camps this

year. Camp dates will be: Online Camp from July 5-16 (two sessions for ages 8-12 and 13-17) and In-Person Camp from July 19-30 (three sessions for ages 5-7, 8-12 and 13-17).

How did ATTP come to be? The organization was founded in the spring of 1999 by Caroline Nesbitt. Beginning with a March production of Othello and continuing the next year with Much Ado About Nothing (2000), programming expanded over the years

to include ATTP’s celebrated outdoor summer productions at the Sandwich Fairgrounds Stage in Sandwich, NH, beloved performances of A Christmas Carol at The Barnstormers Theatre in Tamworth, NH, as well as education initiatives that have brought the joy of Shakespeare to an entire generation of area youth.

What’s Happening This Summer in the Mount Washington Valley?

By Mark Okrant Photo courtesy Mt. Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce Few places in New Hampshire have undergone a similar level of change as the state’s Mount Washington Valley. Situated on the eastern side of the White Mountains, the area was one of the first in America to embrace the sport of skiing, with North Conway’s Mt. Cranmore at the sport’s early epicenter.

Following World War II, people gravitated along Route 16 during the warmer months, many to drive up the Mt. Washington Auto Road, others to visit Story Land, one of the nation’s oldest theme parks. Some of these travelers stopped along the way in the quaint village of North Conway. The little community offered exquisite views of the Presidential Mountain Range to the north. Evidence that there was considerable automobile travel through the town could be seen along both sides of the road, as motel after motel was constructed to serve travelers.

During the 1970s, a new phenomenon caught the Conways by storm, when two outlets—Dansk Cookware and Dexter Shoes—opened along the east side of Route 16. Soon hundreds of travelers were trekking to North Conway in search of quality merchandise available at reasonable prices. There is a proverb that states, “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.” This was in evidence in the Mount Washington Valley, as numerous other outlets followed.

In 1980, the Mountain Valley Mall was opened; and Settlers Green was constructed in 1988. Soon, North Conway was known throughout the

sources, member-to-member networking, and some advocacy work during the pandemic.

Crawford is an outspoken advocate for the Valley. Having served in her post since 1997, she is the dean of tourism marketing executives in New Hampshire at present. According to Crawford, the Valley hosted 2.5 million visitors during the summer and fall of 2019.

Why would so many people visit the Mount Washington Valley?

Crawford says, “That’s an easy question to answer. The area has approximately 100 outlets and 11 golf courses.

There are numerous areas where people can hike, bike, rock climb, canoe, play tennis, or kayak. There are also approximately 100 lodgings providing visitor accommodations.” Those range from mid-century modern motel properties, to small inns, to campgrounds and cottages, to hostels, to

Spectcacular mountain views in the Conway area. eastern portion of the United States as a shoppers’ Mecca. Today, shops in Settlers Green Outlet Village and Settlers Crossing provide opportunities to purchase items in the arts, antiques, clothing, sporting equipment, footwear, gifts, and jewelry, as well as pet supplies.

However, as Janice Crawford, executive director of the Mt. Washington Valley. Chamber of Commerce (MWVCC), says, the Valley offers visitors a great deal more than places to shop. The Chamber promotes tourism for 28 towns stretching from Bretton Woods to Ossipee, including the Conways, Jackson, and Gorham, plus several towns in Maine. While the MWVCC specializes in attracting

tourism business into the Valley, the organization also provides business re-

More than 120 eateries are ready to satisfy every palate. There are 15 types, including restaurants serving several forms of Asian cuisine, barbecue, breakfast fare, seafood, as well as Irish, Italian, and Mexican meals. Fans of breweries and fast food will be sat-

Despite the fact that the pandemic necessitated adjustment or outright cancellation of numerous activities, Crawford reports that the Mount Washington Valley was surprisingly busy during the summer and fall of 2020.

Fortuitously, there were not the massive closings of hospitality and tourism businesses that have been reported in the news nationwide. Asked what the 2021 season will bring, Crawford gave

Why CVIP? Short term or long term rentals VRBO, Airbnb, Homeaway Apartments, condos, or homes

her patented response, “Fasten your seatbelts.”

At closer look, it’s easy to understand Crawford’s optimism. The Mount Washington Valley annually offers an abundance of events and activities, along with the aforementioned range of recreation and dining experiences.

The Valley has a well-established history as a venue for music, theater, and the arts. Those arts events that were put on hold during the pandemic will return this season. Traditional golf tournaments and other sporting events also will be conducted. Asked to identify some of the more popular visitor events that will be back, Crawford said she expects 50 to be conducted.

These will include: • Seek the Peak, a fundraiser for the Mt. Washington Observatory. Interested people will gather at the Mount Washington Auto Road on Saturday, July 17 to attend an exposition that features a vendor village, food trucks, and live music.

• The Arts Jubilee at Cranmore Mountain Resort. This will be held on five consecutive Thursdays in July and August. On July 15, Classic Rock Orchestra will play rock anthems of the 1970s and 1980s. Ceili Rain, a Celtic pop-rock group, will appear on July 22.

On July 29, The New Legacy Swing Band will perform, accompanied by a fireworks show. The 7 Bridges Band’s

Ultimate Eagles Experience will be held on August 5. Finally, on August 12, Pat Cowell and the Soul Sensations will provide an evening of Motown and Memphis Soul.

• The White Mountains Outdoor, Health, and Wellness Fest will be conducted at Schouler Park in North Conway on July 17. This event is a collaboration between the White Mountains Community College and the Mt. Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce.

It is an opportunity for providers of recreation, health, and wellness services, mindful products, and the healing arts to meet with their public and share ideas with one another.

The work of the MWVCC and similar organizations has become increasingly challenging. We cannot miss those ‘Help Wanted’ signs posted by businesses in area towns.

Chocorua Lake Basin View Lot is Open to the Public At long last, and after hard work on the part of many people, the Chocorua Lake Basin View Lot is open to the public. The Basin View Lot sits at the top of the hill just south of Chocorua Lake, on Route 16, looking toward the lake and Mount Chocorua. It includes safe off-road parking, a gorgeous stone wall, a rustic wooden gate, and a beautiful viewing area from which to take photographs, paint pictures, or just pause for a moment in your day to take in the vista unfolding below.

The Basin View Lot project began in 2018 during the Chocorua Lake Conservancy’s (CLC) Timeless Chocorua capital campaign. Thanks to the generous campaign support of over 350 households, the Tamworth Foundation, the Fields Pond Foundation, the Samuel P. Hunt Foundation, and the NH Land and Community Heritage Investment Program (LCHIP), the CLC was able to successfully protect the Basin View Lot and start work on the creation of an attractive public access area within the Basin View Lot at which visitors could park and enjoy the view—in 2013, the iconic view from the Basin View Lot was chosen to represent the White Mountains on the state’s second “America the Beautiful” quarter.

CLC Stewardship Director Lynne Flaccus and members of the CLC’s Lake and Property Management Committee worked with the family members who own the Basin View Lot and the barn on the hill overlooking Chocorua Lake to prepare an ongoing

Basin View Lot. Management Plan for the conservation easement the CLC purchased in August 2018, to reestablish the historic view shed of both lake and mountain, and to create a defined Visitor Access Area.

Like any large endeavor, The Basin View Lot has been a multi-year project involving many dedicated people within the Chocorua Lake Conservancy and numerous local contractors. While many hands have touched this project, it was not always “light work” (the new wall weighs 308,000 pounds!). All that remains is for the newly-seeded grass to grow in, and the CLC would like to recognize those who have made this

possible: • The Bowditch and Vander Clute families for making their property available for view access and for diligently working with the CLC on the many details.

• All of the generous donors to the CLC’s Timeless Chocorua campaign.

The members of the CLC’s Land Conservation Committee for their vision and the development of the Conservation Easement.

• The members of the CLC’s Lake and Property Management Committee for their design and management of the project, and the coordination of contractors.

Contractor: Don Johnson of Forest Land Improvement (view shed management and tree clearing); Gary Jones of Jones Brick and Stone (the stone walls); John Roberts (grading and substrate materials); Gemini Sign (the Basin View Lot sign) and Jason Bergen of Good Neighbor Fence (the gate to the barn).

And finally, former CLC board members John Watkins, who had the idea for the project, and Dave Farley and Peg Wheeler, for their work on the early stages of the project; CLC Board President Alex Moot, for leading the fundraising efforts that made this project possible; our Stewardship Director, Lynne Flaccus, whose capable guidance was ever-present on all phases of this project.

The Chocorua Lake Conservancy would like to express a deeply appreciative “Thanks!” to everyone involved for the creation of a safe and beautifully presented site to enjoy arguably the most iconic view in the state of New Hampshire.

The CLC is a volunteer-led, nonprofit land trust founded in 1968 to protect the scenic and natural resources of the Chocorua Lake Basin and surrounding area. The CLC is committed to providing convenient and attractive public access to Chocorua Lake and trails on nearby conservation lands for visitors and local residents.

NH Outside with Emma Evergreens for Privacy – Which are Deer Resistant?

By Emma Erler If you are planting evergreens for privacy, the last thing you want to worry about is deer damage. Gardeners in New Hampshire will undoubtedly come into conflict with deer at some point in time. Many evergreen plants serve as favorite winter food sources, including arborvitae, rhododendron, holly and yew. In many cases, proximity to a house is not enough to deter hungry deer in the latter half of winter.

Fortunately, there are some evergreen shrubs that are mostly avoided by deer.

While no plant is ever entirely safe from deer, the following selections usually escape damage in all but the leanest of times.

Common boxwood (Buxus sempervirens) has long been a favorite shrub for hedges, and it is one of the most deer-tolerant plants for gardens. It is considered a staple in formal gardens due to its tolerance of pruning and

shearing. Though boxwood does not sport showy flowers, its deep green foliage grows densely and can form a good screen. Plants can grow in full sun to shade, but their leaves and branches aren’t as dense in the shade, and plants are less vigorous. Boxwood is hardy to zone 5 but may suffer damage in harsh winters. In many locations in New Hampshire, the evergreen foliage tends to turn brownish-yellow

when plants are grown in areas with full sun and winter winds. Boxwood is best suited to sheltered locations where it will have some protection.

Japanese pieris (Pieris japonica), sometimes known as Andromeda, is a broadleaf evergreen shrub that can grow up to 10 feet tall, depending on variety. Pieris has glossy dark green leaves year-round and drooping white flower clusters in early spring that attract bumblebees and other pollinators.

It grows very well in organically rich, acid soils in full sun to part shade, so if you’ve had luck with other acid-loving plants like rhododendrons, pieris will likely thrive as well. It is also tolerant of deep shade, setting it apart from other evergreens that do best with more sun exposure. As a zone 5 shrub, pieris tends to be most vigorous and suffer the least winter damage in southern New Hampshire. Despite occasional issues with lacebugs and winter injury, Japanese pieris is almost never bothered by deer.

Mountain laurel (Kalmia latifolia) is one of the few native evergreen shrubs that deer largely ignore. Mountain laurel grows in the wild in various locations throughout New Hampshire.

It is often used in landscapes due to its abundant, unusual flowers in late spring. The species sports white to pale pink flower clusters that can measure as much as six inches across. Many additional cultivated varieties have been introduced to the nursery trade that have blooms in various shades of pink, red and combinations thereof.

The leaves are leathery, dark green and otherwise similar to those of rhododendrons. Mountain laurel is a great choice for landscapes in part shade with moist, acidic, well-drained soil.

Eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana) is likely the closest alterna-

tive to arborvitae that can be grown in New Hampshire. Eastern red cedar is a native needled evergreen that has overlapping scale-like leaves. It is highly drought-tolerant and is a good choice for gardens with full sun and dry soil. It is also an excellent plant for wildlife, as many species of songbirds, such as Cedar Waxwings, will eat the blueish-gray, berry-like cones. On rare occasions, deer may browse the lower foliage, but Eastern red cedar usually escapes damage. One important thing to note is that Eastern red cedar is an alternate host for cedar apple rust and should not be planted near apples or crabapples.

Chinese juniper (Juniperus chinensis) is another needled evergreen that is similar to Eastern red cedar in many regards. It also has scale-like foliage on mature branches and is highly tolerant of deer, drought and dry soil. While plants can grow into large trees, a great number of smaller shrubby varieties can be found at garden centers. Chinese juniper is also susceptible to cedar apple rust and should not be grown in the vicinity of apples.

Inkberry (Ilex glabra) is a native evergreen holly species that is popular as a screen in garden settings because it is adaptable to both well-drained and wet soils. It has small, glossy, dark green leaves that are spineless, and produces small black fruit that are enjoyed by various songbird species. Inkberry is easy to grow in most landscapes, provided there is full sun or part shade. It will be at its best when planted in full sun in consistently moist, acidic soil.

Inkberry is likely the best native shrub to grow as an informal hedge. Plant height varies considerably, depending on variety, so make sure to choose a form that will suit your landscape needs.

Yester year Mt. Washington Valley Fourth of July Through the Years

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper It was “the quietest Fourth ever known in North Conway” according to The Reporter newspaper on July 6, 1933. It does not take a deep knowledge in history to surmise why that might have been. In a typical year, an area such as the White Mountains would be teeming with visitors, but Fourth of July in 1933 was a time when the country was experiencing a devastating economic Great Depression which would not end for some time.

Added to this, not so many years past, families were torn apart when husbands and fathers and sons went off to fight in World War I. This might sound distressing, but Independence Day was celebrated that year, although in a quieter, perhaps more reflective manner. The Reporter gave readers the news that travel was lighter than in the past, and “very few firecrackers were heard, the bells at midnight rang but a few minutes and the lovely bonfire has spent its brilliancy.”

The 4th of July did see some events to celebrate, such as the baseball teams of Conway and North Conway competing, with the Conway team winning when the game was held in Conway.

Another game took place in North Conway with the team from that town winning. The 1933 attendance was good and everyone had a great time.

At the Intervale Playground on July 3, 1933, a dance was well attended, fol-

lowed by a party at the same location on July 4. Further entertainment was provided at the North Conway Theatre for a good time each night of the week of the 4th of July.

The Reporter also told the readership that “there was no drunkenness and very little evidence of the presence of beer.”

Stepping back in time to 1895, things were considerably more active in the North Conway area, as the news in the Reporter outlined. The weather on the 4th was “delightful” and teams of horses brought carriages from all directions to the village area. The holiday parade was popular, with a team carrying a huge firecracker and even a woman in bloomers riding in the parade! The paper told the readers that a large bicycle parade presented a separate parade afterwards. The bicycles were ornately decorated with ribbons and prizes were awarded.

The 1895 festivities also included late morning exercises in an area called the grove, with a large crowd present.

The Rev. W. B. Allis presided, according to The Reporter, and a band played patriotic tunes.

A bicycle race at 2 pm on July 4, 1895, was popular on the village Main Street. There were just three entries to compete, and the prizes were $3 in money, a bicycle clock and a carrier and cyclometer. The slow race was fun, with the prize going to the competitor that certainly took his time, taking 22

minutes coming a distance that was just about a half-mile.

Ball games were all the rage in the late 1800s, and the festivities in 1895 in the Conway area were no exception.

A 3 pm game brought out spectators in their finest summer attire. The baseball game saw a team from North Conway playing against the Wentworth Hall Nines. The final score was 15 to 9 with the Wentworth team winning. Fireworks ended the day with a bang and everyone who participated in the day’s activities, went home that night well fed and happy.

The Reporter told its readers in 1926 that “Conway will celebrate Uncle Sam’s 150th birthday with great enthusiasm.” That year excitement ran high because an airplane was said to make its way to North Conway for an exhibition and the following day would take locals for plane rides. While this sounds like tame stuff in our modern-day world, we must remember few people had ever taken a plane ride at that time, and not everyone had seen a plane flying overhead. Other entertainment for the Fourth that year was a local ballgame between the Army and the Navy and a tightrope walker, log roller, canoe racing and more at Peg Mill Bridge.

Following a ballgame, there were daylight fireworks, billed as a novelty that year. On July 3, 1926 the Bijou Theatre in Conway was playing a Buster Keaton movie called “Go West.”

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 of raise this sometime this year. No fear, the old Granite State will not be found wanting,” the article told readers.

World War II affected the entire world and the Conway area did not escape seeing its men march off to war, and the July 1, 1943 newspaper 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 dream, except by command of military officers having authority therefor; nor fire or discharge any rockets, squibs, crackers or gun powder.”

Rather if you wanted to indulge in sweets to celebrate the Fourth, you could visit The Log Cabin in North Conway for “an assortment of homemade 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,

a band concert entertained before the traditional fireworks.

By 1970, the Reporter advertised many outdoor festivities, and a display ad told readers a local grocery store had all you might need for your 4th of July barbecue, with two packages of hotdog or hamburger rolls for 49 cents! Chips also were 49 cents a bag and soda in a variety of flavors was a mere 9 cents per can. Other ads in that issue let the reader know you could attend a Moonlight Madness Sale on July 3 at Reny’s in Bridgton, Maine or attend the Majestic in Conway to see “The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes” or “Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice”.

For those who wished to dine out in the Conway area over the Fourth, the Waffle Shop or the Skimobile Eating House would please.

This was the age of tourism, and the Reporter had display ads for rides on the Skimobile in North Conway, Story Land, a chair lift ride up Mt. Attitash or a scenic ride up Mt. Washington, to name but a few fun things vacationers or locals could do.

(Information provided by The Conway Public Library, Henney History Room’s digital files of the North Conway Reporter.)

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.

Fast forward in time to 1965, and the Reporter’s July 1 issue had a story on a Bicentennial Street Dance that would take place in mid-July. Another story highlighted the Gondola Tramway at Mt. Whittier in Ossipee, located at the junction of Routes 16 and 25. The large photo accompanying the caption and information told of the quiet gondola ride and the snack bar and picnic grounds at the summit of Mt. Whittier. This exciting attraction ran for a number of years and was likely a great thing to do on the weekend of the 4th.

No far away, Bridgton, Maine was planning a fun list of Independence Day events, with a parade on July 5 with the Bridgton Town Band heading up the parade and even some clowns.

Kiddie rides were offered as well as games on the high school grounds, and

Fish and Game Stocks NH’s Remote Ponds with Trout Brook trout that have spent all winter under the ice become voracious as the first insects start to hatch, and fishing with small nymphs can be exciting for anglers. With water temperature increases slowed by a cool and delayed spring this year, June and July should feature abundant mayfly hatches and provide outstanding surface action.

Fish stocked last June will have reached 5-6 inches in most areas, with 2-year-olds reaching 8 inches or more, and 3-year-olds often reaching 10 or more inches. In fact, the fishing in these picturesque remote ponds is one of New Hampshire’s best-kept angling secrets.

A few of these remote ponds are designated as “special regulations only,” so be sure to check the regulations for specific waterbodies prior to your trip.

To see the entire list of stocked remote ponds, visit www.fishnh.com/fishing/ trout-aerial.html.

Aerial trout stocking is made possible through fishing license sales and Federal Sportfish Restoration dollars.

The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department completed its annual aerial stocking of remote trout ponds recently. Fish and Game contracts for a helicopter to stock remote ponds across the Granite State, from the Sunapee Region to Pittsburg. During this oneday event, nearly 50 remote ponds are stocked with brook trout fingerlings from the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department’s hatcheries to ensure residents and visitors enjoy a successful remote fishing experience.

The stocking of remote ponds in the back country of New Hampshire provides a unique angling opportunity for people seeking a true wilderness experience. Serene remote ponds not only produce beautiful brook trout and increased catch rates, but they also offer the outdoor enthusiast an opportunity for wildlife viewing, hiking, camping, or just simple solitude. Many of these remote ponds are located off popular hiking trails. As with any hiking trip, always follow safe hiking guidelines.

I Ching or Book of Changes Symbolic Landscapes Artist Elizabeth Nelson has often been inspired and guided by the ancient Chinese divination text, I Ching or Yi Jing, one of the oldest of the Chinese Classics. It is studied as a book of wisdom throughout the world and provides guidance to religion, literature, art, psychology, science, diplomacy and business. I Ching uses hexagons to reach solutions. Nelson has painted 64 Symbolic Landscapes representing the I Ching hexagons. Twenty-seven of these are on exhibit at Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery, located at 69 Maple Street in Center Sandwich.

I Ching is a big subject with a history of more than 3000 years of interpretation. The texts and hexagrams have been used by many to find solutions

to questions or problems. I Ching uses coins to determine these solutions. A practitioner will toss three coins six times to create a new hexagram related to his or her question. The response is determined by looking up the meanings of the hexagon in the I Ching text.

Elizabeth Nelson has long been interested in Chinese painting. An early childhood memory reveals a fascination with scrolls her father brought back from Shanghai, India and Europe after his service in WWII. Chinese and Asian art have remained a ‘foundation of her aesthetic’.

It was during a “fallow” period in her painting career that Nelson asked I Ching for “advice and inspiration”.

The answer was hexagram #2 Natural

Response (K’un). At first Nelson was puzzled by the response but the next morning as the moon was setting over her snow-filled pasture, the answer was clear. She “would paint 64 hexagrams and choose the sequence at random by throwing the coins”. The entire symbolic landscape series took 6 years to complete. The oil paintings on cradled birch panels are 20 x 20 inches.

The Symbolic Landscapes were exhibited in Greensboro, VT in the winter of 2017/2018. Brian Arnold saw the notice of the exhibit and contacted Nelson as he was working on an app called the Yi Jing-Book of Changes and wanted to use Nelson’s images for the app. The app allows the user to cast virtual coins for a hexagram and thus

find a solution to the user’s question.

Nelson and Arnold also have completed a book on sale at the gallery: I Ching or the Book of Changes, Symbolic Landscapes. The book catalogues all 64 hexagons, as well as their meanings.

I Ching is a fascinating subject especially for those interested in systems of divination and astrology. Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery hours are Tuesday to Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm, Sunday noon to 5 pm and Monday by appointment. For information visit www.patricialaddcaregagallery.com or call 603284-7728.

Things You Can Do to Take the ‘Search’ out of Search and Rescue “Do I know how to be found in an emergency?” That’s a question every boater should ask at the beginning of the boating season. The answer, however, is likely to go far beyond simply having a cellphone aboard. The BoatUS Foundation for Boating Safety and Clean Water offers five tips that can potentially speed a rescuer’s response to a boater in need of emergency help.

1. File a float plan: Telling a responsible family member or friend, leaving a note (on your vehicle’s dashboard) at the launch ramp, or using a smart phone float plan app, are great ways to allow someone else to trigger the alarm if you fail to return by an appointed time.

2. Have a VHF radio aboard — but not just any old VHF radio: All VHF radios are not alike. One of the best ways to speed an on-water rescue

is to have a Digital Selective Calling (DSC) VHF radio aboard. A DSC-VHF radio does all of the things a regular VHF does, but it also has a unique press-one-button mayday feature that gives rescuers your vessel’s location — taking the “search” out of search and rescue. The newest waterproof handheld DSC-VHF radios are great for small boats. Before you install your DSC-VHF radio, be sure to get your radio’s Maritime Mobile Service Identity Number (MMSI) that is your vessel’s unique ID. BoatUS members can request one for free.

3. Label your SUP, canoe, or kayak: Adding contact information on the inside of your paddle craft with a waterproof marker could mean less time U.S. Coast Guard and first responders need to spend chasing down false alarms. This frees up valuable re-

sources when time really counts. And let’s face it; another benefit is that you may get your paddle craft back after it blows down the lake. It’s also a good idea to let authorities know if your paddle craft has gone missing.

4. Do not leave shore…without a fully charged phone: Smartphones are part of life ashore and aboard. The reality, however, is that many boaters put all their safety eggs in one basket and rely solely on a cellphone to call for help. Cellphone batteries generally don’t do well after a long day of running apps, listening to music, texting, and taking photos. And for many phones, water is the enemy. Consider keeping your phone in a waterproof pouch or case. If you need help for routine, non-emergency assistance, such as a tow home, battery jump, fuel delivery or soft ungrounding, download

the BoatUS App that connects boaters to closest local TowBoatUS response vessel.

The BoatUS Foundation for Boating Safety and Clean Water is a national leader promoting safe, clean and responsible boating. Funded primarily by donations from the more than 800,000 members of Boat Owners Association of The United States (BoatUS), the nonprofit provides innovative educational outreach directly to boaters and anglers with the aim of reducing accidents and fatalities, increasing stewardship of America’s waterways and keeping boating safe for all. A range of boating safety courses – including 36 free state courses – can be found at BoatUS.org/Courses.
