History made: The Mt. Washington Auto Road Paved Top to Bottom For the first time in its 161 year history, the Mt. Washington Auto Road is a solid ribbon of pavement from the base to the 6,288’ summit.

Opened on August 8, 1861, the Mt. Washington Auto Road is the oldest man-made and continuously operating tourist attraction in North America.

Built by hand using shovels and black powder to clear rocks, the Auto Road ascends over 4,000’ of elevation in 7.6 miles from scenic Pinkham Notch to the summit of Mt. Washington.

WRAPPED COMPOSITE For the majority of its history, the road was a rough surface of dirt and then gravel, first traveled by horse and mountain wagon, and then by car at the turn of the century. It has always been a rite of passage for automobiles and drivers, giving credence to the famous bumper sticker: “This Car Climbed Mt. Washington.”

The Auto Road saw its first sections of pavement in the early 1970s and sections have been added in subsequent years.

Until today, only the section of gravel known as the “5-mile” remained as it was the most challenging to pave. Over the past several years, the Road Crew made many improvements to this section, including widening the surface, and increasing the number and size of culverts for water drainage.

Full pavement top-to-bottom intrinsically makes the drive on the Auto Road much more smooth and diminishes the likelihood of a road closure, and has been a goal for the family-owned and operated business.

in the Subaru Mt. Washington Hillclimb. That event, which will likely return to the Auto Road in 2024, may see even faster times from base to summit.

Travis Pastrana broke his own record in 2021 with a blazing time of 5 minutes and 28 seconds.

But for guests of the mountain maintaining safe traveling speed at no more than 25 mph, the ride to the summit will remain an exhilarating experience and drivers and their automobiles still earn the bumper sticker with each ride given out at the Toll House.

The Mt. Washington Auto Road opens for 7-day a week operations, weather permitting, on Saturday, May 28th. Visit mt-washington.com for the road status and hours of operation.

UST ARRIVED!

The gravel section was prone to “peeling” in rainy conditions, whereby the dirt would come off the road surface and onto the tires of the vehicle, eliminating traction. The Auto Road would close to all traffic when this occurred.

Maintenance of the gravel section was labor and fuel intensive. Every day Road Crew staff would water the road surface using several dump-trucks full of water. Tons of gravel would be used each year to repair erosion. The pavement will prevent that material from draining onto the sub-alpine terrain.

Nat Putnam, who is celebrating his 40th season working on the Mt. Washington Auto Road this summer remarked about the paving, “it’s the end of an era.”

Car-race enthusiasts already have nostalgia for the iconic spray of dirt at

the transition from gravel to pavement

Great Marinades & Sauces for Grilling

By Chef Kelly Ross Hello Valley Friends! So here we are in mid-June and I fully expect all of you to have your grills working on a regular basis right now, even if one or two days a week. Although we all have our favorite goodies to come off the grill, one thing we most have in common is that we love a good marinade for our grilled proteins, not to mention a few great sauces to drizzle over them once they come off the grill. I usually find if something is marinated, it usually doesn’t need a sauce, but if something isn’t marinated, a sauce is usually a very welcome thing. Today I’ll give you some incredible marinades, what they best work with, and some recipes to use many of them. Also, I’ll share some sauces that work great to baste while grilling as well as a condiment on the table to lather on the proteins and veggies that come off the grill.

Let’s start off with some game changing marinades.

For starters, let’s share an Asian marinade that is incredible with grilled salmon to start with, but seriously is incredible with chicken, pork and beef as well. Salmon sometimes seems to be neglected on the grill as so many of us tend to focus on the barnyard proteins, but that isn’t right as salmon and many treats from the water are awesome off the barbie. I’m a huge sucker for anything Asian in flavor. I personally think the Asian flare is as good as it gets, especially from a marinade standpoint.

Great flavor mix for sure. The base is a combo of orange, honey, soy sauce,

and ginger. Salmon is one of those things that works well when an acid of some sort is introduced, and the orange is a great fix for that need. This recipe is for 4 filets of salmon, goes together in a few minutes, let marinade for an hour and the grilling process will take 10-15 minutes.

Asian Marinated Salmon 4 salmon filets, 7-8 oz each and as thick as possible 2 cup soy sauce 1 cup honey 1 cup fresh squeezed orange juice 2 tbsp orange zest 8 cloves garlic, minced 4 tsp ground ginger 1 tsp crushed red pepper Remove any bones from the filets with clean needle nosed plyers then place the filets into a shallow dish or gallon sized resealable plastic bag. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, orange juice and zest, garlic, ginger, and pepper flakes. Pour ¾ of the marinade over the salmon, reserving the rest. Refrigerate and let marinate for an hour. Preheat your welloiled grill to medium-high heat. Place the salmon on the grill, skin side up.

Close the lid and cook for 4-5 minutes, and gently roll the salmon filets over to skin side down. If the grill is oiled well, the rolling process is the best way to turn them. Cook for another 4-5 minutes or until they are done, depending on how thick the pieces are and how well you want them cooked. Once off the grill, the skin should come off very easily. Once plated, drizzle the

reserved marinade equally over the 4 pieces, and dig in.

This next recipe is a classic marinade I generally use exclusively for chicken, in particular chicken thighs,

but this will most definitely work for all cuts. Thighs are by far my favorite

June 2022 | ALONG ROUTE 16 | Page 13 • Cookout continued from page 12 chicken part compared to breasts and drumsticks (wings are another story) because they are moister and personally, I find there is much better flavor.

In the world of chicken fingers, honey mustard is always one of the more popular dipping sauces. This marinade has similarities but is also quite unique and gives the chicken a great flavor you will appreciate. Prep takes 5 minutes if you buy the chicken butchered, marinade for 4-6 hours, grilling takes 15-20 minutes, and it feeds 4.

Honey Garlic Mustard Marinade for Chicken Thigh Recipe 10 garlic cloves, chopped rough ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil ¼ cup honey ½ cup low sodium soy sauce ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce ¼ cup Dijon mustard 8 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp kosher salt 1 tsp cayenne pepper ½ cup fresh squeezed lime juice, about 6 limes worth 3 tsp lime zest 2 ½ lbs. boneless, skinless chicken thighs In a large bowl, combine the garlic, oil, honey, soy sauce, Worcestershire, Dijon, cumin, salt, and cayenne. Reserve ¼ of it and dump the rest in a large zip lock bag. Add the chicken thighs and toss with the marinade to evenly coat. Marinate the chicken for 4-6 hours under refrigeration. Do not let marinate for longer or the meat will start to break down. Let the chicken stand at room temperature for 30 minutes prior to cooking. Once ready to cook the chicken, preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Scrub the grill grates clean. Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess.

Oil the grates, then place the chicken smooth-side down. Grill the chicken thighs for 8 to 12 minutes, flipping once halfway through, basting the chicken with the reserved marinade, or until the chicken registers 160 degrees at the thickest part when tested with an instant read thermometer. Chicken is considered fully cooked through at 165 degrees, but its temperature will rise as it rests. Transfer to a plate or cutting board, cover, and let rest 5 to 10 minutes. Enjoy warm.

The next marinade is one I usually reserve for steak, but again, it will work well with just about anything. There are a few common denominators with many of the recipes as far as the ingredients go, and citrus is a very important one. Citrus does have a tendency of breaking down proteins, helping to tenderize as well as flavor the protein, but, if marinated for too long, it will start cooking the meat and that is not what you want. That’s why you very rarely see anything marinated overnight if there is a substantial amount of citrus involved. We’ve experimented with orange juice, lime juice, and now it the lemons turn to shine. The cut of beef you want to use is again up to you, but where the marinade will help tenderize the meat, feel free to use a lesser cut of beef if you want, such as a London broil. But trust me, you will love this even if marinating rib eyes in it. If using a lesser cut, use a needling

tenderizer to stab the beef as that way the marinade gets right inside the beef as well. You can use the tenderizer on more expensive cuts too, just don’t stab more than a few times on each side as opposed to stabbing many times with the lesser cut. This marinade will be enough to take care of 3-4 pounds of beef which will feed 6 easily, maybe more depending on the eaters involved.

Backyard Steak Marinade 1 cup soy sauce 1 ½ cups olive oil 1 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice ¾ cup Worcestershire sauce 4 tbsp garlic powder or granulated garlic 6 tbsp dried basil 4 tbsp dried parsley flakes 3 tsp ground white pepper ¾ tsp of your favorite hot sauce, optional 2 tsp dried minced garlic, optional 4 lbs. of your favorite cut of beef, either individual steaks or 2-3 strips of London broil Tenderize the cuts of beef with your needling tenderizer. Place all the rest of the ingredients in a food processor or blender and beat well for 30+ seconds until thoroughly mixed. Place the beef in large zip locks and pour the marinade into the bags, push out as much air as possible and seal it. Refrigerate up to 4-6 hours, but at least for 2. On a clean, well-oiled grill, preheat to a medium high to high heat. Depending on how thick the cuts of beef are will dictate the cooking time, also considering the temps preferred. Once done, if using London broil or a similar cut, let rest for 10 minutes, then slice against the grain on the diagonal, about ½ inch thick slices, and put them on a platter for all to grab from, or plate individually. If cooking individual steaks, serve them as is and relish the moment.

Let’s take a trip south for some Caribbean flavor, shall we? Caribbean jerk marinade is a classic blend of many herbs and some olive oil and yup, some lime juice. This recipe is for 4 large skinless, boneless chicken breasts. As opposed to what I said with the other recipes, this one can be marinated overnight since the citrus content is minimal compared to the others.

The prep and cooking times are short.

This recipe works great with beef, pork, swordfish, and shrimp. This recipe is for 4 chicken breasts or more like 6-7 thighs.

Caribbean Jerk Marinade 2 tsp. dried thyme 1 tsp. ground allspice 3 tbsp. coconut sugar 1 tsp. sea salt 1 tsp. ground black pepper 3 tsp. garlic powder ½ tsp. ground cinnamon ½ tsp. cayenne ¼ cup olive oil ¼ cup lime juice 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, about 1 ½ pounds.

Add the thyme, allspice, coconut sugar, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, cinnamon, cayenne, olive oil, and freshly squeezed lime juice in a mixing bowl. Stir to combine. If the chicken is uneven in thickness, cover with plastic and lightly pound with a meat hammer tenderizer so the breasts are consistent in thickness. Add the chicken to a zip lock bag, followed by

the jerk spice marinade. Press the air out of the bag and seal tightly, making sure to massage the marinade around the chicken to coat. Place in the fridge to marinate at least 30 minutes, up to overnight. Grill as usual on a clean well-greased grill on a medium-high heat. Grill on both sides until done.

These have a great blend of flavors in them I do want to share one more chicken marinade before I move onto a couple of sauces for the grill. This is one most of you have heard of, although usually as a dry spice sprinkled on chicken or haddock quite often, being a lemon pepper seasoning. As good as that can be, it doesn’t hold a candle to making this marinade by any means. If haddock cooked well on the grill, I would suggest it for that as well, although you

could cook haddock filets wrapped in foil with this marinade and that would work out great. This is by far the healthiest of the marinades today. This recipe is for 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, or as I said earlier, chicken thighs are incredible as well. Again, since the citrus involved is done in a relatively small amount, this can be marinated overnight if you care to.

Prep is 5 minutes, and the grilling will only take 10-15 minutes.

Lemon Pepper Marinaded Chicken 2 tbsp. lemon zest 6 tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice 4 garlic cloves, minced 2 tbsp. black peppercorns crushed

Page 14 | ALONG ROUTE 16 | June 2022 • Cookout continued from page 13 1 tsp. sea salt 4 tbsp. olive oil 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, about 6 oz each, 1 ½ pounds total Add all the ingredients, except for the chicken, in a large bowl and stir well to combine. Add the chicken to a zip lock bag, followed by the lemon pepper marinade. Press the air out of the bag and seal tightly, making sure to again massage the marinade around the chicken to coat. Let the chicken marinate for no less than 1 hour and no more than overnight. Once ready to grill, take the chicken out of the fridge 30 minutes prior. You know the routine, preheat the grill to medium-high and grease the grill and cook on both sides for about 5 minutes per side, again, depending on the thickness of the chicken. Make sure they are cooked thru, but also don’t overcook. This is “Melt in your Mouth” chicken.

Let’s go in another direction now, this time by taste enhancing the grilled item while cooking, and after, as opposed to before they are cooked with the marinades. Some don’t seem to get into marinating meats and would rather baste them with a great sauce, and who am I to do disagree? I am a big sauce man, always have, always will be.

When eating a great meal, I will almost always have a side of any extra sauce available, regardless how much is used while grilling. Soups and sauces were one of my specialties while running kitchens and I love to experiment with various items in the fridge and/or cupboards. One of the best perks of cooking frequently is that you can easily experiment with different recipes, whether being original, working off an idea/thought, or tweaking a recipe into one that you and your family would prefer. To me, that’s easily one of my favorite aspects of being a chef.

When it comes to grilling, the most obvious sauce everyone thinks about is BBQ sauce. There are so many BBQ

sauces on supermarket shelves, it gets confusing. Some are great, some not so much, but if you have never made your own, you must get your act together soon because the quality is so much better, and cheaper to do so.

BBQ sauces are notoriously different from region to region nationally, and internationally, as so many big cities have their own flare to it, whether sweet, tart, smoky, or made with particular spices famous to a region. So, let’s share a couple that should have all of your guests asking you where you bought these sauces, and you can tell them you made them yourself. They are incredibly easy to make.

The first one is a combo of spicy, rich, and slightly smoky and goes well on anything beef, chicken or pork related. It’s amazing on ribs among many other items. If you like a good bourbon sauce, this one is for you. This recipe will give you a quart of awesomeness!

Sriracha Bourbon BBQ Sauce 2 cups ketchup ½ cup molasses 1/3 cup bourbon, less or more depending on taste ¼ cup Dijon mustard 4 tbsp Sriracha sauce or the hot sauce of your choice 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

2 tsp smoked paprika 1 tsp granulated garlic or garlic powder 1 tsp onion powder 1 capful of liquid smoke, found in most any supermarket Stir together all the ingredients in a heavy large saucepan on medium heat.

Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to medium low. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Let cool and then transfer to a large glass jar or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to a month. Enjoy!

Lastly for today is what is usually considered to be the favorite BBQ sauce of my family and friends. It has some similarities to the first marinade we used for the salmon in that it has an Asian flavor to it. Not only is this a fabulous grilling sauce, but it also works wonderfully in stir fry’s, wraps, fried rice, dipping sauce for chicken fingers and such. You will fly thru this sauce. If you make this whole recipe, you will have enough in your fridge for multiple meals. This sauce is an eclectic combo of tang, sweetness, garlicky, and slightly spicy. This sauce is a grilling game changer. This will make 2 quarts of sauce.

Yokohama BBQ Sauce

3 cups reduced sodium soy sauce 3 cups light brown sugar 1 cup plus ¼ cup water, divided 1 cup sake ½ cup gochujang (Korean chili paste) ½ cup honey 1/3 cup rice vinegar ¼ cup plus 2 tbsp minced garlic, about 16-20 cloves ¼ cup grated fresh ginger root, about a 4-inch piece 4 scallions trimmed of the root end, thinly sliced 2 ripe pears peeled, cored, and grated on the finest side of a box grater 1 tsp black pepper 1 tsp Korean chili pepper powder or crushed red pepper flakes 3 tbsp cornstarch Combine the soy sauce, light brown sugar, 1 cup water, sake, gochujang, honey, rice wine vinegar, garlic, ginger root, sliced scallions, grated pear, black pepper, and chili powder in a large pot.

Stir while bringing to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. In a small measuring cup or bowl, whisk together the cornstarch with the last ¼ cup of water until smooth. While stirring the barbecue sauce vigorously, slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into the sauce. Return the barbecue sauce to a boil and boil for 1 minute or until thickened, stirring all the while. Turn off the heat, let cool and pour the sauce into jars and store in the refrigerator for up to a month. You can always give small jars of it to some of your fans you will soon have.

I hope you all feel properly marinated and sauced after reading the recipes.

I’m always in the mood to grill, but this is the type of article that gets my mouth watering more than usual. I hope it gets your juices flowing as well as you should never need a reason to grill, it should come naturally. Until next time my North Conway friends, keep your taste buds happy.

Karen Morgan Brings Clean Comedy to the Stage

By Lori Tremblay When Karen Morgan brings her comedy act onstage, the audience takes notice. A blond, former trial attorney in her mid-fifties, Morgan connects with the audience with her anecdotes about being a wife and mother. After 17 years, her comedy act is still going strong.

Karen Morgan is from Athens, Georgia and now calls Maine home. She lives with her husband and three children in Cumberland and takes her experiences as a mom onstage, in comedy clubs and theaters. A former trial attorney who is still licensed to practice in Georgia and Maine, Morgan wanted to stay home with her children. Bill Taylor, director at WCSH-TV in Portland, Maine, describes Morgan’s style as, “Comedy through the perceptive eye of a wife and mother, prepared with the tenacity of an attorney and tempered with a dash of southern charm.”

I binge watched several of her routines on YouTube and couldn’t stop laughing. Morgan brings her life experience as a wife and mom to the stage.

She has upcoming shows in New Hampshire, Maine and Massachusetts, as well as shows around the country.

Morgan took a comedy class in 2004 with Tim Farrell, in Maine. Some of Farrell’s students were Jon Stewart, Chris Rock and Ray Romano. Farrell also wrote for Comedy Central, which he mentioned during an interview on the Dr. Lisa Radio Hour podcast in Maine. There were eight people in Morgan’s class, a variety of ages and

seven and eight minute set. Beginning comedians usually get a shorter period of time when they first perform onstage.

The first time on stage, Morgan was excited, but not nervous. She hoped it would go well and that people would laugh. “You can’t take anything for granted,” said Morgan. “You never know the audience.” Morgan has never been heckled. “I’m a mom and older,” she said.

Growing up, Morgan was a fan of comedy. She liked Steve Martin, Johnny Carson, and Saturday Night Live, but didn’t consider herself a comedian.

Taking Farrell’s comedy class taught her the process of writing about her own life’s experiences.

Morgan’s career took off when she was a finalist on Nickelodeon Television’s “Search for the Funniest Mom in America” in 2005. “They wanted to find the next Roseanne,” said Morgan.

“We traveled in New York at comedy clubs, and they filmed it.” Morgan suggested to two of the other women, Sherry Davey and Nancy Witter, that they form their own group, a kind of Blue Collar Comedy Club, for moms.

They formed Mama’s Night Out and toured for five years.

When Morgan was touring on the road, her husband stayed home with their children. They first met on a blind date and have been married 26

Chocorua Lake Conservancy Scott Reserve Hike

Let The Captain and Cat Let the Captain and Catherine Let TheYou Captain and Catherine Help Navigate Help You Navigate though it! throu Help You Navigate through it!

When you see with the eyes of a naturalist, each new part of the landscape— field or forest, pond or stream—is full of diverse life.

On Friday, June 24 from 9-11:30AM, join naturalist and Chocorua Lake Conservancy Stewardship Director Lynne Flaccus for an early summertime exploration along the loop trails of the CLC’s Scott Reserve, in search of plants and animals that make their home in the upland forests north of Chocorua Lake. We’ll have a bit of a scavenger hunt in search of ephemeral wildflowers that have already bloomed, but with leaves and fruiting bodies remaining. Adult red-backed and spotted salamanders, toads, and gray tree frogs may be found in the forested landscape even while their young mature in the drying vernal pools.

We’ll have the opportunity to stop and check out Allen Brook and see what the water levels are doing. In 2018-2019, the CLC, in cooperation

with Tin Mountain Conservation and the Natural Resources Conservation Service, did some work on the brook to enhance trout habitat. Allen Brook is a dynamic and lively stream that feeds into the Chocorua River.

The casual walk will allow exploration along moderate terrain through the Scott Reserve and on into the Nature Conservancy’s Bolles Reserve as well.

We’ll stop at Heron Pond—always a nice view any time of year!

Wear comfortable walking shoes and dress in layers for the weather. A snack and water are always a good thing to have in your pockets or pack. Be prepared for insects and ticks, just in case.

Space is limited; please register in advance at bit.ly/CLC-Scott.

years. Morgan said that her husband never questioned her decision to become a comedian and has been very supportive. “I couldn’t do it without him,” she said.

On the road when the children were younger, Morgan kept in mind that her children could see her material online.

“I don’t talk about private things,” said Morgan. “My kids are more important to me.” Her mom is also a big fan. She stopped doing routines about her mom for the same reason.

Morgan took a break from touring after 2010 to be home with her family. They opened an ice cream store in Portland, ME. Morgan wanted to be home for the kids’ games. She continued to do shows, but just didn’t tour.

In 2020 and 2021, Morgan did several Zoom shows, but to a performer, it’s not the same as a live audience.

“Stand-up is a conversation,” said Morgan. “You can see the people’s faces.”

Morgan much prefers theater comedy rather than stand-up comedy clubs, because theater comedy is cleaner. She mentioned that the people that come to a theater performance have generally invested in the evening with tickets, dinner and maybe they had to get a babysitter. “I’m not a club comic,” said Morgan. “I’m a theater comic.”

There will be more theater shows this fall.

Some of Morgan’s role models are Don Gavin, “the godfather of Boston comedy,” according to Morgan. “These guys have been doing this for years.

Vic Henley passed away a few years ago.” He was like a brother to Morgan and was a good teacher. “Comics write alone,” said Morgan. “We need other comics to bounce things off of. The learning never stops.”

A special experience was meeting comedian Steven Wright, known for his slow, deadpan delivery of ironic humor. Morgan was introduced to Wright at the Nantucket Comedy Festival by

Chocorua Geology Walk If we could slow down to geological time, we would feel the earth rising and falling beneath our feet in a perpetual churn of motion. Alas, our lives are too brief. We can, however, learn to read the landscape to understand the movement that came before our time.

On Wednesday, June 29, from 9AM12PM, join the Chocorua Lake Conservancy for an exploration of the local glacial and bedrock geology of the Clark Reserve in Chocorua with geologist Rick Allmendinger. (Rain date will be Thursday, June 30.) The hike will offer an opportunity to see eskers, glacial meltwater channels, and kame terraces, as well as two types of granite with different ages. We will also see the Splitting Stone and learn why the rock-working methods of 100 years ago are still the ones used today. The hike will start and end at the southern end of the Old Mail Road on Chocorua Lake/Fowlers Mill Road and will cover about 2.4 miles and ~300 ft of elevation change.

The 277-acre Clark Reserve is bounded by the White Mountain National Forest to the north and The Nature Conservancy’s Bolles Reserve to the east. A mix of forest types and var-

ied terrain make for good exploring.

Small vernal pools and wooded wetlands occur along with snaking eskers and rocky slopes.

Wear sturdy shoes: hiking shoes/ boots or sneakers should be fine, but flip flops might be a challenge on a couple of short steep stretches up and down Bickford Heights. Bring water and a snack and be prepared for bugs or ticks. Please register in advance at bit. ly/CLC-geology so that we can let you know of any changes in the schedule.

Rick Allmendinger is Professor Emeritus of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Cornell University. He is by training a structural geologist and has spent most of his career working in the Andes and the western United States.

Nonetheless, he is a New Hampshire native by birth and his family have owned property in the basin for nearly 100 years. His first professional geology job was mapping glacial deposits and bedrock units in northeastern Massachusetts for the USGS under the direction of Gene Boudette, who later became State Geologist of New Hampshire. At Cornell, he taught courses in structural geology, regional geology, and energy and climate change.

Great Waters Announces Summer Performances in Wolfeboro Great Waters is pleased to announce that there are now two locations for its musical performances this coming summer: Concerts in the Clouds at the Castle in the Clouds in Moultonborough and Concerts in Town at Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro. After a twoyear hiatus, Great Waters will return to Wolfeboro on the campus of Brewster Academy with two performances you won’t want to miss. In addition, there will also be a unique opportunity for middle and high school students to attend a master class presented by musical theater composer, lyricist, and pianist Georgia Stitt.

On Wednesday, July 27th, Ms. Stitt will perform with Tony Award winning musical theater composer, lyricist and playwright Jason Robert Brown in an intimate cabaret style concert at the beautiful, newly renovated Rogers Building – Brewster’s home for theatre, music, dance and digital arts programs. The evening will also include lite fare and beverages.

The following morning, Thursday, July 28th, Ms. Stitt will present a Master Class in Song Interpretation for Lakes Region middle and high school music and theater students. Students will participate by learning the unseen connections between a character, the

composer and the song itself. Georgia will reveal the elements of a character’s’ intent and show how lyrics, acting and voice can converge to create dramatic performance. The class is free for students, but they must register in advance.

On Sunday, September 25th, the International String Trio, a group of exceptionally talented musicians now located in the Boston area, will perform at the Pinckney Boathouse on the Brewster campus at 3:00 pm. The trio’s repertoire includes light classical pieces by composers such as Tchaikovsky, Strauss and Brahms, as well as jazz and world music including Gypsy swing, old-time Appalachian laments, a passionate tango and a graceful French musette, all of which are sure to please all ages and musical tastes. During the last 14 years, the group has gained national recognition for its distinct sound and stylistic diversity.

These three events are in addition to the Concerts in the Clouds series beginning with 1964: The Tribute on Saturday, July 16th at the Castle. For tickets and information regarding events at both locations, please call Executive Director Doug Kiley at 603-569-7710 or go to www.greatwaters.org.

The Road Less Traveled Leads to the Farm

By Joann Coskie Heading north from Rochester, some astute travelers drive down Route 125 to avoid turnpike traffic. Along this scenic route is the New Hampshire Farm Museum at 1305 White Mountain Highway in Milton. The Museum is a combination of two farmsteads (Jones Farm and Plummer Homestead) with open fields and old-fashioned split rail fences, a 104-foot long 3-story barn, and 50 acres in a collection of historic buildings, agricultural exhibits, displays and collections. As a working farm with a variety of gardens and heritage breed farm animals, visitors can tour the Jones farmhouse, meet costumed enactors, and visit the cows, sheep, pigs, rabbits, and chickens. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it is also a Blue Star Museum.

Through the Farm Museum’s varied events and programs, visitors learn about three centuries of life in New England from the 1700s to the mid 1900s.

There are hands-on, farm-based experiences for students and youth groups from age 3 to young teens. Programs can be tailored for curriculums and interests. Every Friday at 10:00 throughout the summer children can enjoy a free story time from Grandma Pat. The schedule of events for 2022 started with June 11 Civil War Muster Day, set in the 1860’s. On June 11, the 12 NH Volunteer Regiment of New Durham held drill in their camp setting. Camp followers prepared a common pot meal and offered ‘muster day

cake’ to visitors.

Celebrating America’s independence is Fourth on the Farm July 2 as visitors see the Declaration of Independence delivered on horseback. After hearing it read, there will be an opportunity to use a quill pen, adding their own ‘John Hancock.’ See the firing of colonial muskets, eat strawberry shortcake with homemade whipped cream, engage in three-legged and wheelbarrow races,

or try your hand at a skillet toss. Bob Kilham, historic musician, will play tunes popular in the 1700 and 1800s.

Colonial travel by stagecoach brought people to Jones Tavern, sometimes to rest their horses, sometimes to stay the night. Old Stage and Tavern Days is celebrated on July 23 as Sally Wooster Wallingford Jones welcomes visitors. Meet one of her descendants, Mel Bailey who is one of the tour

guides. In the Tavern, try Raspberry Shrub and Haymakers, beverages served to weary and thirsty travelers in days gone by. Learn about medicinal remedies used by early settlers. In the pole barn is a display of antique wagons, carriages, and tractors. Bring your own picnic lunch or purchase one from

For some of the visitors, it may even be a bit nostalgic, as they remember Christmases of their childhood. Maybe you even have a story of your own to share. Whatever your age, come listen to the 1940’s music, create a sachet to take home, and string cranberries and popcorn for the tree and create new memories of Christmas on the Farm.

Admission for most events is $10 for adults ($7.50 for seniors), $5 for juveniles, free to children under 4. A family admission for 2 adults and children is $25. Spring hours are 10-4 Saturdays and Sundays. From June through August, visitors are welcome Wednesdays through Sunday, 10-4. From early September to mid-October they are open Saturdays and Sundays from 10 to 3. Winter is their off-season, only opening for special scheduled events.

Especially, learn about the history of the museum from the York Hill Farm in Kensington (1969) to homes and storefronts in Exeter and Hampton Falls and the 17 barns where artifacts were stored until the acquisition of the Jones Farm property (1979).

How Healthy is Your Lake?

Lakes and rivers across New Hampshire face similar challenges to water quality: the threat of cyanobacteria, or algae blooms; e.coli; increasing salinity, particularly in proximity to roads and bridges; and the diverse effects of climate change.

On Saturday, June 18, from 9-10:30AM at the Cook Memorial Library in Tamworth, join the Chocorua Lake Conservancy (CLC) and Green Mountain Conservation Group (GMCG) for “How Healthy is Your Lake? The Importance of Annual Water Quality Monitoring” to learn about the importance of community science and long-term monitoring of our lakes and rivers, and how you can get involved, whatever body of water you live on or near.

GMCG Executive Director Matt Howe will discuss GMCG’s ongoing, long-term monitoring efforts to understand and mitigate threats to the quality of the surface and groundwater in our region of the Saco River watershed, and what trends they are witnessing. He will also share about

new technologies that facilitate e.coli testing and mitigation, and discuss the importance of being part of statewide monitoring programs such as New Hampshire Lakes Lay Monitoring Program (LLMP) and the Volunteer Lake Assessment Program (VLAP), and of abiding by specific protocols so that individual research and data is useful to collective water quality efforts.

Longtime CLC water monitor Dwight Baldwin will discuss the history of water-quality sampling on Chocorua Lake through LLMP. The workshop will also include a show-and-tell of what water quality monitoring entails, what parameters are measured and how, how to understand water quality data, and how you can participate in helping to maintain the pristine water resources in this region. Later in the summer there will be opportunities to get out on Chocorua Lake in a canoe on a beautiful day for hands-on water quality monitoring experience. Please register in advance at bit.ly/2022-water. Come at 8:45 for coffee and donuts!
