Loon Preservation Committee Goes The Extra Mile By Mark Okrant The Moultonborough-based Loon Preservation Committee, created in 1975 to address a growing concern about a declining loon population and the impact of human activities upon those distinctive waterfowl, made its central mission to preserve loons and their habitat by monitoring, conducting fi eld research, designing and implementing a management protocol, and educating the public. This year, the committee had its work cut out more than usual, with problems exacerbated by vagaries of climate that cause fl uctuations in the lakes and cause eggs to be destroyed. Nesting loons face a number of challenges during their 28-day incubation period, with the most serious being human-induced water level changes. This has been one of the most challenging years on record for New Hampshire’s loon population. Record warm temperatures during June, followed by an extremely wet July, presented very diffi cult conditions. With their dark plumage, loons are best equipped to handle cold temperatures, not days and weeks of warm weather. Needing to leave their nests in an effort to escape the heat during this past June, loons frequently faced a nowin situation: While adults cooled off in the water, their eggs were left unprotected from both daily heat increases and predators. During the excessive rainy period that followed in July, water levels in the area’s lakes and ponds rose precipitously. Since loons build their nests along shorelines, they were exposed to destructive fl ooding. The result of these two manifesta-

tions of global warming was a lesser proportion of viable eggs than is normally the case, as the loons’ rate of reproduction was one of the poorest in 46 years of study. Each year, the Loon Preservation Committee uses its staff and an extensive, dedicated network of volunteers to monitor nearly 400 lakes in New Hampshire. Why is this important? Loons serve a vital function, much as a canary in a coal mine. If the loon population is suffering, it is an indication that the region’s natural environment may be in peril. Under such threatening circumstances, the Loon Preservation Committee took a more aggressive course of action than has been needed during previ-

COZY CABIN RUSTICS —FURNITURE & MATTRESSES— F EE LocaR lD

ous seasons. Volunteers placed a record number of nest rafts to replace the ones that were damaged by fl oodwaters. The nests built by the committee are designed to fl oat during extreme circumstances, thereby saving countless eggs and loonlets. As a direct response to the damaging actions of humans, the LPC roped off large areas and posted signs to educate and caution summer residents to stay away from nesting sites. Each year, the team undertakes a census of the loon population. Overseeing this ambitious initiative is Harry Vogel, senior biologist and director of the Loon Preservation Committee. While the census attempts to account for all adult loons, the best indicators are num-

bers of loon pairs and their chicks. It is less problematic to count loon pairs, as they are territorial. Meanwhile, single loons can be scattered throughout the waterways within the region, and are diffi cult to locate. Completing the loon census necessitates a small army of volunteers. The annual census is a one-hour event, conducted from 8 to 9 a.m. on the third Saturday in July. Volunteers also aid in reporting sick or injured loons, and serve as support personnel at the Loon Center. As Vogel explained, “We are a very small staff that is supported by a very large group of volunteers. Much

Fall Shows Bring Entertainment and Mystery to M&D Playhouse The M&D at Eastern Slope Inn Playhouse, located at 2760 White Mt. Highway in North Conway, brings some great autumn entertainment to the area. If you love a good mystery, you will love Veronica’s Room. This chilling mystery thriller by the author of Rosemary’s Baby explores the thin line between fantasy and reality, madness and murder. Students Susan and Larry fi nd themselves as guests enticed to the Brabissant mansion by its dissolute caretakers, the lonely Mackeys. Struck by Susan’s strong resemblance to Veronica Brabissant, the long-dead daughter of the family for whom they work, the older couple gradually induce her to impersonate Veronica briefl y to solace the only living Brabissant, her addled sister who believes Veronica alive. Once dressed in Veronica’s clothes, Susan fi nds herself locked in the role and locked in Veronica’s room. Or is she Veronica, in 1935, pretending to be an imaginary Susan. Find out by attending the play, which runs from October 14 to 24.

It is Christmas at the Playhouse from December 2 to 19, when a beloved holiday classic is presented. Patrick Barlow, writer of the Broadway and West End hit The 39 Steps, has retold Charles Dickens’ holiday classic, A Christmas Carol. This thrilling adaptation uses only fi ve actors to bring some of Dickens’ most beloved characters to life. From Scrooge and Tiny Tim to Bob Cratchit and Mrs. Fezziwig, Barlow’s A Christmas Carol uses nothing more than some simple props, fresh physicality, and the power of imagination to convey this timeless story of redemption. Witness Ebenezer Scrooge’s transformation from a stingy miser to a man who generously celebrates the spirit of the season all year long, in this highly theatrical adaptation. This production will establish a tradition to be performed each Christmas at the historic Eastern Slope Inn Playhouse. To get tickets to the shows, visit www.mdplayhouse.com, email info@ mdplayhouse.com, or call the box offi ce at 603-733-5275.

• Loons Continued from page 3 of our success is owed to the volunteers; and we’re always looking out for them.” Vogel, his staff, and volunteers are in the process of analyzing data collected in the fi eld this year. Although the numbers are not offi cial, fi ndings appear to be mixed. On a positive note, people in the fi eld have counted 325 loon pairs to date. If this number holds after the census is fi nalized, it will represent a record number of nesting pairs, and is a 1.6 percent increase compared to 2020. Vogel cited one of the key parameters of long-term reproductive success: “We need a minimum of 0.48 chick per adult pair per year to maintain a stable loon population. Fortunately, over the past fi ve years, we have averaged slightly more than 0.48.” This year, owing to the combination of excessive heat and record rainfall, their fi gure appears to be 0.41 chick. While Vogel would have preferred a higher fi gure, he is all too well-aware that the incredible effort of his staff and volunteers prevented what could have been disastrous numbers. Asked to explain his optimism further, Vogel replied, “Loons live very long lives, an average of 20 to 30 years. Of course, stronger census numbers are always our goal, but we realize that the loon population can survive this one bad year. Thanks to the everyone’s effort, the loons will be here for the long haul.” Among challenges faced by the Loon Preservation Committee this year, several are a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. Much like 2020, the search for private boaters to transport fi eld biologists to nesting

sites continued during 2021. Public education is an important function of the committee. As it did last year, the organization is continuing to rely less on in-person presentations, and more on Zoom, social media, and a dramatically transformed website (www.loon. org) to spread its message. The Loon Preservation Committee is fi ghting an ongoing battle against the ravages of lead sinkers and lead-headed jigs. These antiquated forms of fi shing tackle have a deadly effect upon loons and other forms of wildlife. Lead poisoning, or lead toxicosis, kills its victims in two to four weeks, and is a painful way to die. This year, the state already has lost fi ve loons to that toxin — fewer than past numbers, but too many to satisfy Vogel and the LPC. Owing to the Loon Preservation Committee and other environmental organizations, lead sinkers and lead-headed jigs have been banned for sale and use within the state. Moreover, the committee’s lead tackle buy-back program, in cooperation with fi shing tackle retailers, is being effective. Fishermen who are interested in exchanging their lead equipment should go to www.loonsafe.org. During October, a $20 voucher will be provided to participants. It can be used to purchase loon-safe fi shing tackle. As a further initiative, the person who returns the most lead fi shing equipment at each center will receive a check for $100, with $50 for second place. The Loon Preservation Committee’s effort to maintain and expand common loon populations continues. For information about how to aid the work of the LPC by becoming a volunteer or contributing to the Campaign for the Future, contact Harry Vogel at hvogel@loon.org, or 603-476-5666.

Stretch Your Creative Limits with ArtWorks Writers’ Seminar Artworks Gallery/Chocorua Creative Arts Center is sponsoring a Writers’ Seminar on four consecutive Saturdays beginning October 23 at Runnells Hall in Chocorua, NH. The visiting authors and educators are sharing their writing approaches and experiences to better help participants reach their writing goals. Starting off will be an instructor from Colby Sawyer College, Courtney Spalding-Mayer and writer/illustrator Ryan O’Connor, www.ryanoconnorauthor. com/author/. The class will focus on the following outline: “What has the writer come here to say? This workshop approaches writing as an emergent process of discovery and uncertainty. Whether you’re interested in writing a memoir or a YA novel, we’ll explore how to fi nd meaning, get perspective, and play with structure through various exercises that will help defi ne the story you want to tell.” The second speaker in the fourpart series, October 30, is Alexandria Peary, Poet Laureate of New Hampshire and a 2020 recipient of an Academy of American Poet Laureates Fellowship and author of nine books. Read more at https://www.nh.gov/nharts/ artsandartists/poetlaureate.html. “In collaboration with White Mountains Community College and a variety of partners, Peary has spent months organizing writing workshops, games and activities and engaging opportunities for youth poet laureates and special guests-including published authors and a screenwriter.”

Writers drawing, Andrea Kennett. The class will open with readings from Ms. Peary’s poetry and prose followed by participants being introduced to the tenets of Mindful Writing, including strategies to manage “audiences-in-the-head”, self-talk about writing ability, and ways to notice the present moment to create new writing. Local author Richard Adams Carey on November 6 will share approaches to writing. “Go Ask Matty: The Storytellers Art: Matty Groves” is a 700-yearold English folk ballad and also a small jewel of the storyteller’s art. First we’ll hear the song. Then we’ll dig beneath its surface to fi nd what that great artist known as “anonymous” can teach us about narrative arc, characterization, dialogue, and climax, and how quickly and simply a good storyteller can deliver the goods in all those areas. There are also lessons in how to begin a story

and how to end it, and what to put in and what to leave out. Now a full-time freelance writer, he is the author of four award-winning books of narrative nonfi ction. His short fi ction, essays, and reviews have ap-

peared in many prominent publications. Read more at http://richardadamscarey. com/ The fourth and fi nal class, on November 13, with book designer, artist and local librarian Peggy Johnson will entertain, instruct and encourage you to further your writing. A person of many hats, Peggy has successfully authored many of her works of poetry and prose and art as well as shepherded several local Classes are fi lling up, so get your seat before the registration is closed.

Guide To Adopting A Shelter Dog Pet adoption rates soared during the COVID-19 pandemic. The desire to adopt was so significant that animal shelters around the country nearly emptied. According to Dr. Elizabeth Berliner, an associate clinical professor and the director of the Maddie’s Shelter Medicine Program at Cornell University, as many as one in five pet-owning homes adopted a new pet during the pandemic. Animal shelters are once again reaching capacity. As with many industries, there simply isn’t enough staff to care for all the animals. Furthermore, animal adoption saturation over the past year may have contributed to fewer people seeking new pets. Those who still have room and love to share can put these tips to use as they look for a furry friend to call their own. • Do your research. Ensuring your pup can seamlessly transition from the shelter to your home requires some pre-adoption legwork. The animal will be occupying a spot in your home and heart for 10 years or more if all goes well. The size of the dog, age, anticipated energy levels, exercise needs, shedding capacity, and overall personality can affect how well the dog fits in. Research the breeds and try to find one that suits your household and lifestyle before visiting the shelter. • Start locally first. Don’t discount local groups when searching for pets. Many small rescues can’t afford the time or money to maintain a website

or constant social media presence, but they make up for that by being handson when matching pets with people. • Be sure everyone is on board. All members of the household need to share the same enthusiasm for the dog. Weigh everyone’s opinions, but expect that certain people will take on more responsibility for the pet than others. • Consider your finances. Although adopting a dog is initially less expensive than buying, there’s still the adoption fee to consider and other costs that come with dog ownership. Routine vet visits, emergency medical situations, food, grooming, training classes, toys, and other needs should be considered. The American Kennel Club previously found the average annual costs for dog ownership is $2,500. One-time or irregular costs, such as a crate, spaying/neutering, or emergency vet care, cost an average of $2,100. However, these rates vary, depending on where you live. • Is space available? Dogs need space. While a chihuahua may need less space than a Great Dane, make sure you have adequate room in a home, apartment, and backyard for the breed you are considering. The day a dog is welcomed into the family is a joyous occasion. That joy only increases when prospective dog owners do their homework and find a dog that will fit right in with their families.

Jack-o’-lanterns are one of many indelible symbols of Halloween. It’s hard to pinpoint the precise origins of jack-o’-lanterns, but many historians trace the tradition to 19th century Ireland. In fact, this instantly recognizable staple of Halloween decor actually gets its name from an Irish folktale character named “Stingy Jack.” Jack-o’-lanterns are ubiquitous in October, but a refresher course on carving one can help those who haven’t dusted off their carving skills since last fall. • Don’t carve too early. Though it can be tempting and fun to carve a jack-o’-lantern once the calendar turns to October, it’s unlikely the finished product will make it all the way to Oct. 31. Horticulturists indicate that jacko’-lanterns have a shelf life of roughly five to 10 days, though an especially cold October could shorten that life expectancy even further. If you want your jack-o’-lantern to greet trick-ortreaters on Halloween, wait to carve it until a few days before the big day. • Use a dry-erase marker to outline the design. It’s easy to make mistakes when carving a jack-o’-lantern, especially if this is your first time using a carving knife since last year. Use a dry-erase marker to trace the design onto the pumpkin before you make a cut. • Avoid severing the stem. When many people envision jack-o’-lanterns, the image in their minds is one in which the top of the pumpkin is removed

so candles or lights can be effortlessly placed inside. However, the custom pumpkin carving experts at New York-based Maniac Pumpkin Carvers note that removing the top cuts off the vine, which supplies the pumpkin with nutrients and moisture, even after it’s been cut. A whole in the back of the pumpkin can provide easy access when placing candles or lights inside, and cutting here won’t cut off the nutrient and moisture supply a pumpkin needs to avoid drying out. • Scoop everything out. The interior of a pumpkin will be loaded with seeds, which can be removed and later roasted to make a savory snack. In addition to removing the seeds, be sure to get all of the pulp out. Pulp left in the pumpkin will soon get moldy and that can shorten the lifespan of the jack-o’lantern. In addition, when removing the interior, try scraping the front inner wall of the pumpkin thin, which may make it easier to carve. • Avoid candles when lighting the interior of the jack-o’-lantern. Candles might seem like the most authentic and even spooky way to light the interior of the pumpkin, but the heat produced by a burning candle can shorten the life expectancy of the jacko’-lantern. An LED light won’t give off much heat and will provide ample illumination. A few simple tips can help Halloween celebrants ensure their jack-o’-lanterns make it all the way to the big day at the end of October.

The berms and swales that run along the highway beside the lake were put in during 2009, a method of best practices to slow and fi lter runoff from the highway into the lake. The berm, or higher ridge, was planted with shrubs, trees, and grass to help catch dust from the road. The swale, or ditch, was fi lled with gravel and larger stones to allow rainwater and runoff to percolate through and be fi ltered before reaching the lake. Both strategies help to keep the lake water clean and reduce the amount of phosphorus entering the lake. The berms and swales need annual

maintenance to help keep them working as designed. To help, the Chocorua Lake Conservancy staff and volunteers will be pruning shrubs and trees from the berm and raking and leaf blowing to clear the fall debris in the swale. Bring loppers and a rake if you have them or make use of the few extra the Conservancy has to use. There will be at least one leaf blower, and if you have one and are willing to use it to help, feel free to bring it along. The group will meet at The Island public access parking area on Route 16 by the lake. If you have not yet been vaccinated or are less than two weeks from your last shot, please bring a mask for moments when social distancing is not possible. Please email lfl accus@chocorualake. org with your name and phone number to let the Conservancy know you will be coming and so you may be informed of any changes to the schedule. More chances to explore the Chocorua Lake Basin coming up This event is one in a series of Chocorua Lake Conservancy programs held throughout the year to encourage people of all ages to enjoy Chocorua Lake and the trails and woods that surround

Hiker Hunter Safety Courtesy NH Fish and Game

Hunting seasons have arrived in the Granite State, as has a renewed public interest in exploring woodland trails, paths, and byways. As we enter into the Granite State’s extremely popular deer season, hunters must be aware of increased recreational activity in New Hampshire’s forests and fi elds. All outdoor enthusiasts, no matter where they venture, must be committed to ensuring their own personal safety while understanding the different ways residents and visitors enjoy all that New Hampshire has to offer. Be sure to be seen; blaze orange is common sense for people recreating outside during hunting seasons. Here are some additional tips to help everyone have a safe and enjoyable fall: 1. Be aware of your surroundings. This seems like common sense, but remembering and acknowledging that it is hunting season will improve your awareness. Know the dates of hunting seasons in your area by looking them up online in the annual NH Fish and Game Hunting and Trapping Digest at www.huntnh.com/ hunting/publications.html. Many hunting seasons, especially fi rearms seasons, are much shorter in duration than most people realize. 2. Pick the right trail. During the fall, stick to established hiking trails. Hunters generally avoid heavily used hiking paths because activity in the woods usually frightens game species. As a result, hunters will be situated

deeper in the woods. The noise and foot traffi c on main trails is not an ideal place to hunt. 3. Pick the right time. Legal hunting times in New Hampshire for most game run from ½ hour before sunrise to ½ hour after sunset. Wildlife, and consequently hunters, are most active at dawn and dusk. Midday hikes when light conditions are optimal are best for the fall. You are also much less likely to run into a hunter during mid-week hikes because most hunting takes place on weekends. 4. Wear hunter orange. Anyone who enjoys the outdoors in New Hampshire should already own a piece of bright “blaze” orange clothing, and fall is the time to wear it. An orange hat, handkerchief, vest, or shirt is a

must for this time of year. This will make you more visible to anyone in the woods. Don’t forget to also put some orange on the family dog. 5. Make some noise. Talk, sing, or whistle to make your presence known in the woods. Chances are good that anyone in your vicinity has already heard you, and the singing will make

you more noticeable. This is great advice for any time of year, and placing a bell on your dog’s collar is another excellent way to make continuous noise during a hike. 6. Hike safe. Be sure to follow the hiker responsibility code by being knowledgeable about where you are going and what the local weather and terrain conditions are, leaving your plans with someone, staying together, turning back in inclement weather or if you are running out of daylight, and planning and preparin g for emergencies are also important. Visit www. hikesafe.com for more information. For more information on dates and details of New Hampshire’s hunting seasons, visit www.huntnh.com/hunting.

Great Shrimp Recipes, On & Off The Grill

By Chef Kelly Ross Hello, North Conway and beyond. Foliage is peaking, the Fryeburg Fair was just in our face, and traffic was absolutely crazy. This time of year is infamous in these parts as thousands show up from parts unknown to check out the psychedelic landscapes as well as get in their fried dough fix, as well as all of the other delicious fair fixin’s. Money is awesome, but when the bodies start leaving, the need for sleep, rest, and personal enjoyment becomes more of a priority, as it should be. When it comes to personal pleasure, as in cooking, drinking, and entertaining all of your local friends, I’m here to share some fun recipes to help. Today’s topic du jour is my favorite bud from the ocean, that being shrimp. I have a fun array of recipes, ranging from the grill to the kitchen to share with you today. The first one is something I originally started making as a side dish, but it eventually became a go-to dinner option. I made this with baby shrimp when making this as a side dish, but then said, “Hey, let’s use some medium-tolarge shrimp and turn this pile of food into my dinner.” So this shrimp fried rice side dish became my Shrimp Fried

sauce, and pepper, and cook 3 minutes. Stir in shrimp and cook 5 minutes or until shrimp turn pink and mixture is cooked through. Stir in scallions and chopped eggs and serve.

Rice Dinner, and it’s awesome. The rice itself I think you will find much lighter than most. If you never made fried rice before, or even if you have, the absolute key to great fried rice is to cook the rice in advance, spread it out over a rimmed pan or pans, and refrigerate uncovered to cool it as soon as possible. Weeknight Shrimp Fried Rice 3 tbsp of sesame oil 3 eggs, beaten 4 ½ cups of COOKED long-grain rice, chilled

1-inch-long piece of fresh ginger root, peeled and chopped fine, or 1 tsp ground ginger 1 ½ cups frozen peas and carrots, thawed 3 cloves of garlic, minced 3/8 cup soy sauce 3/8 tsp black pepper 1 ½ lb raw medium shrimp, peeled, deveined, w/o tails, ideally 26/30 to 36/40 in size Start by cooking off about 2 ½ cups long-grain rice. Cook until done. Dump onto a couple of rimmed cookie pans and refrigerate, uncovered. Let cool completely. In a large skillet or wok over medium heat, heat half the oil until hot. Add eggs and scramble 1 to 2 minutes or until fluffy; remove from skillet, chop eggs slightly, and set aside. Heat remaining oil in skillet over high heat. Add rice and stir-fry 3 to 4 minutes or until hot. Stir in peas and carrots, garlic, soy

Next is something I usually serve as an appetizer, although it quite easily could be a main course. How many times have we heard “Everything tastes better with bacon?” Personally, arguably hundreds of times for me. When it comes to shellfish, the most normal one is scallops wrapped in bacon. That is most definitely a winner in every regard. Switch shrimp for the scallops and add a quick, fun, and very original homemade barbecue sauce and you have yourself something everyone is bound to love — but there are a couple important things to consider. You want the biggest shrimp you can afford, or find. Shrimp generally cooks fairly quickly and you definitely don’t want to overcook the shrimp, and you do want the bacon to be crispy, so there is a fine line to consider. If the bacon is too thick, the shrimp will be way overcooked and get too crispy. Ultimately, you want thin-sliced bacon, and potentially even par cook it in advance. I cook the bacon shrimp on my grill, although it can be done in an oven. The crispy factor is much more successful on the grill, but the choice is yours. As for the shrimp, go as big as 12 to the pound and as small as 20 to the pound as a general rule. As for the bacon, thin to regular cut is the best, and par cook

I’m a huge fan of cooking in foil packets year-round. It’s fun when they are done when all eaters have their own individual packet of goodies, this one in particular with shrimp, sausage, a wide array of veggies, and seasonings. Pop them on the grill or in the oven and let all those tremendous flavors meld into one another to create a fantastic dish. This is a great example of what I say often to think outside the box when it comes to the culinary world. Toss together a few things that sound great together and pop it in foil so the flavor can’t escape and enjoy.

• Cookout continued from page 12 the slices in a skillet for a few minutes on each side to render off some of the fat, or could be done in the oven. As for the shrimp and the marinade/ sauce, you can combine the two for up to 12 hours. You can also do so while the bacon is cooking. Regardless, marinade for 5 minutes or 12 hours or anywhere in between. The bottom line: You should end up with crispy and delicious bacon-wrapped shrimp. As for how many you will end up with, that depends on how many shrimp you buy. For the sake of argument, this recipe is for 16 shrimp — basically appetizers for 4-6. Sweet & Savory Bacon Wrapped Shrimp 16 extra large shrimp, 16/20 in size 8 slices of bacon 3/8 cup maple syrup 3 tbsp soy sauce 1 tsp chili powder Salt and pepper 1 tsp chopped fresh parsley Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a sheet pan with foil and coat with cooking spray. Lay the slices of bacon out in a single layer on the pan. Bake them for 8-10 minutes or until bacon is partially cooked. Cool for 5 minutes, then cut each slice of bacon in half, giving you 16 full-width shorter slices of bacon. While the bacon is cooking, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, chili powder, and salt and pepper to taste in a medium bowl, or do so the day before or longer. Remove

Cover the bowl and chill; marinate for at least 10 minutes or up to 12 hours. Preheat the oven broiler. Coat a sheet pan with cooking spray. Wrap one piece of bacon around each shrimp and secure with a toothpick. Place the shrimp in the oven and broil for 5 minutes, or until shrimp is pink and bacon is crispy. Flip the shrimp and broil for 1-2 minutes more on the other side. Remove from oven and brush with reserved marinade. Sprinkle with

dish, and it goes together in about 20 minutes and should feed 4-6 of you.

peeled and deveined 1 lb sausage of choice, sliced 2 medium-sized yellow squash, sliced 2 medium zucchini, sliced ½ bunch fresh asparagus, sliced into thirds 2 red bell peppers, cut into kabob style chunks 3 tbsp olive oil 3 tbsp Cajun seasoning Salt & Pepper In a large bowl add the shrimp, sausage, zucchini, yellow squash, asparagus, bell pepper, and salt and pepper.

Grill or bake in oven at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until shrimp and vegetables are cooked through. Carefully open packets and serve. OK, so we have done Asian, barbecue, and American grilling, so let’s move on to a Mexican skillet dish. It’s time to combine shrimp with taco seasoning, black beans, and corn, among other things, to create an outstanding South of the Border specialty. This can actually be turned into a delicious Tostada dish for that matter. This dish is as yummy as it is colorful, which made me think Tostadas. There is an overload of flavor inside this skillet

Mexican Shrimp Skillet 1 tbsp olive oil 1 red bell pepper, chopped 1 green pepper, chopped 1 lb large shrimp, 16/20 or 20/24, peeled, deveined, tails removed 1 ½ packets of taco seasoning 1 can of kernel corn, 15 oz 1 can black beans, 15 oz 1 cup cherry tomatoes ½ cup chopped or sliced black olives ¼ cup fresh chopped cilantro In a large skillet, add the olive oil and turn to medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers and sauté until almost tender. Add in the shrimp and cook until they are opaque and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Add in the taco seasoning, corn, black beans, tomatoes, olives, and cilantro, and mix until it is incorporated. Spoon into personal bowls and eat and enjoy. If you want to turn this skillet of fun into Tostadas, buy some crispy corn tortillas, some sharp cheddar, maybe some sour cream, and the makings for guacamole, and put a tortilla shell on the plate, add some of the skillet mix, another tostada shell, and top with more of the skillet mix, some shredded cheddar, sour cream, and guacamole, and dig right in. You’ll be happy with the Tostada upgrade, I promise. Last on today’s shrimp Hit List, we can’t just leave without speaking of my favorite way to eat shrimp, and that is in a great sauté pasta dish. Not counting using a grill, my all-time favorite foods are combining my favorite shellfish with pasta in a great garlic-based sauce.

Since I am always cooking on the grill, whenever we go out to eat, 9 times out of 10, I order a pasta dish loaded with shrimp, scallops, or lobster, or if I’m lucky enough, all of them. This recipe will feed 4 of you. Make sure you always have a great crusty bread to go with it to soak up that yummy sauce on the bottom of the plate. Creamy Tuscan Garlic Shrimp 1 ½ lbs large shrimp, 24/30 in size are perfect, but 20/24 work great as well 6 cloves of garlic, minced 3 tbsp olive oil1 ½ cups heavy cream ¾ cup chicken broth 2 tsp granulated garlic 1 tsp dried oregano ½ tsp dried basil ¾ cup+ of Parmesan cheese 1 ½ cups dried spinach ¾ cup sun-dried tomatoes Pasta of choice. (I like cavatappi as I love the sauce getting inside and out of

the pasta.) In a large skillet, add olive oil and cook the shrimp and garlic on medium high heat for 2-3 minutes or until pink. Remove shrimp and set aside on a plate. Add the heavy cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and parmesan cheese. Whisk over medium high heat until it starts to thicken. Add the spinach and sun-dried tomatoes and let it simmer until the spinach starts to wilt. If the sauce isn’t quite as thick as you would like it to be, add more Parmesan and continue to stir to thicken and not burn the bottom of the pan. Add the shrimp back to the pan and serve over pasta if desired. Top with more Parmesan and don’t forget the yummy bread! Well, that’s it, my friends. I’ll be back in about a month or so, likely talking some fun Thanksgiving ideas. If you have any questions or feedback, please touch base at fenwaysox10@ gmail.com.

Improvements Make NH Skiing Even Better Skiers visiting New Hampshire mountain resorts this winter can expect to fi nd improved snowmaking, grooming, lifts, and lodging, thanks to extensive capital investment across the state. “Our member ski areas have invested millions in capital improvements this year to better the experience for our guests. We are looking forward to welcoming visitors back to the slopes this winter,” said Jessyca Keeler, president of Ski NH, the state’s trade association for ski areas. Cranmore Mountain in North Conway has continued its resort redevelopment, opening the Artist Falls Lodge, a new base lodge for its tubing park. The fi rst level features a tubing park ticketing offi ce and the second fl oor is a restaurant and bar. Visitors to Cranmore this winter will see site work begun by the LaFrance Hospitality Group, building an 89room Marriott hotel adjacent to the Tubing Park. It is projected to be completed prior to the start of the 2022/23 winter season. Skiers who visit Loon Mountain Resort in Lincoln will experience a quicker ride than ever on the Kancamagus 8 chairlift.

This lift is packed with features, including ergonomically heated seats, weather-blocking tinted bubbles, and an adjustable loading carpet to help guests load the chair. Loon is working to fulfi ll the vision of Flight Path: 2030, a tenyear plan focused on transformative modern innovations across the resort.

The Performance Center, which is also open to the public, was built entirely with funds from private donations raised through Franconia Ski Club. Pats Peak in Henniker has continued to upgrade its snowmaking system with additional fan guns and two Prinoth grooming machines. The ski area’s annual upgrade to snowmaking provides fi ve new high-effi ciency HKD Diablo fans. They also installed new snowmaking pipe. Ragged Mountain in Danbury also invested in snowmaking equipment to enhance snow coverage and effi ciency. Guests can expect to see renovated

Skiers and riders renting equipment at McIntyre Ski Area will fi nd many additions to its ski and snowboard rental fl eet, plus improvements to the rental shop. Snowmaking and grooming equipment updates will make for the best snow surface conditions possible. A new outdoor patio and redesigned lodge will enhance the guest experience indoors and out.
