Welcome 2019…and Winter at Tin Mountain Tin Mountain Conservation Center is a great place to spend a day enjoying the natural world, no matter what time of year. Many programs take place at the Tin Mountain Conservation Center at The Rockwell Sanctuary, located on 138 acres of rare plant conservation land on Bald Hill Road in Albany.

There will be some great winter programs and a fun winter camp for kids in the weeks ahead. The Nature Learning Center serves as a gathering place for the community, with yearround programs that teach about natural science education and community awareness. A preserved barn on the property, circa 1800, an extensive trail system, a four-acre pond, numerous unique plant species, and a small granite quarry that was active from 1885 to 1890 are added features at Tin Mountain.

This winter, there is no reason to stay indoors when the Center offers some great programs!

On Thursday, January 17 at 7 pm, Dr. Dykstra Eusden, Professor of Geology at Bates College and author of several books on the topic, will show there is a lot to discover about the snow-covered White Mountains in a program called Geology of the Presidential Range.

January Exhibit Brings Unusual and Interesting Art to Gafney Library The sacred and profane find a good home in the mind of local artist, Bob Farrell. His creative work knows no bounds – his subject matter is as diverse as his mediums. “From Found Objects to Abstracts” is the title of Bob’s work on exhibit at the Gafney Library in Sanbornville through the month of January.

A Berwick, Maine resident, Farrell, a former dishwasher/painter, took a long hiatus from art to pursue a career in carpentry. His career in woodwork gives him a particular attention to detail and the flexibility with which he moves from one medium to another.

Spending time on his art is all about the dichotomy of the human industrialized world vs. the natural

world; Farrell’s work suggests a bridge to be built between the two. Some of his work is meticulously completed, with hours and hours of thought and process. Other pieces are as simple as being thoughtful and aware.

A Berwick Art Association member, Farrell’s work transcends normal artistic mediums and boundaries.

Anything can be included and everything can be a canvas. In the Gafney Library show, Farrell debuts his latest work as well as some iconic pieces from his portfolio.

The artist’s messages are as playful as they are serious. A recent piece titled “Oh that’s too bad” features a series of black and yellow stripes on Plexiglas, completely splotched with layers of

Farrell was recently featured in the online art magazine, Modspoke: “Farrell’s art summons us to spend more time, to value thought, to observe more sides and find beauty in the somewhat ugly world that we created, and that’s a valid message for modern times. The natural world, aged, rusted, used and found objects side by side with bright modern colors make up the executed vision of artist Bob Farrell.”

The 5th annual Moose Mountains RunAround Snowshoe Race is scheduled for Saturday morning, January 26, at Abenaki Ski Area, 390 Pine Hill Rd, Wolfeboro, NH. The public is invited to join in, or to come watch and cheer on the racers. Children age 12 and under can participate in the new Kids Snowshoe Shuffle, a non-competitive, fun activity.

The morning of fun in the snow was organized by Race Director and MMRG Board member Dan Coons as a fundraiser for Moose Mountains Regional Greenways (MMRG). The snowshoe race starts at 9 am and covers a loop course of approximately four miles with moderate (500 ft.) elevation change, traversing a combination of open fields, ski trails and single track. Snowshoe walkers are also welcome to register and participate.

The Kids Snowshoe Shuffle will start immediately after the snowshoe race finishes, around 10 am. Kids will make their way around an obstacle course on snowshoes; a limited number of loaner snowshoes sized for kids will be available.

Race competitors’ snowshoes must adhere to USSSA minimum size specifications of 120 sq. in. Rental of Dion snowshoes will be available for $5 per pair but must be reserved in advance by contacting Race Director Dan Coons at 603-520-8533 or trailrnr@yahoo.com.

The snowshoe race registration fee is $20 in advance or $25 on race day.

Register in advance at www.mmrg.info/ moose-mountains-runaround/. Awards will be presented to the top two finishers in each age group as well as to the overall male and female winners. Amenities include the heated ski lodge and complimentary post-race food. There is a $5 suggested donation for the kids’ activity.

Volunteers are needed to help with registration, timing the race, directing racers along the course, serving refreshments and the Kids Snowshoe Shuffle.

To volunteer, call MMRG Education Coordinator, Kari Lygren at 603-9787125 or email info@mmrg.info. MMRG is grateful to volunteers who make such fundraisers both fun and successful!

Moose Mountains Regional Greenways is a land trust and educational outreach organization serving the seven towns of the Moose Mountains Region: Brookfield, Farmington, Middleton, Milton, New Durham, Wakefield, and Wolfeboro. Activities like the snowshoe race take advantage of the excellent opportunities for winter outdoor recreation in our region. Preserving such opportunities through conserving open spaces is an important part of MMRG’s mission.

MMRG thanks Wolfeboro Oil, a repeated and early business sponsor of this event. Businesses interested in donating prizes, food, or beverages or in becoming sponsors are welcome to contact Kari Lygren; see above contact information. More details are also available on the aforementioned race webpage.

It’s a Fun, Musical, Entertaining Winter Season at Rochester Opera House!

Wintertime means skiing, skating and all sorts of activities. At the Rochester Opera House and its sister venue, the Performance and Arts Center, winter means entertainment galore.

Through January 27, the beloved musical, Mamma Mia! brings Abba’s hits in the hilarious story of a young woman’s search for her birth father.

This sunny and funny tale unfolds on a Greek island paradise. On the eve of her wedding, a daughter’s quest to discover the identity of her father brings three men from her mother’s past back to the island they last visited 20 years ago. A mother. A daughter.

Three possible dads. And a trip down the aisle you’ll never forget at the Opera House.

Be there to see Midgets with attitude at the Midget Wrestling Show on February 6 at 7 pm at the Opera House. Midgets with Attitude brings a highly energetic and electrifying show that has been seen in all 48 of the continental United States. Since the show’s inception, members have been featured several times on national television, including Fox Television’s “Bones”, Animal Planet’s “Pit Boss”, TruTv’s “Full Throttle” and Country Music Television’s “Strangest Ways To Make A Buck”. They showcase a very unique brand of sports entertainment and athletic skills of their little people.

Their group of midget wrestlers are world-class athletes that are able to perform at the highest (and lowest) levels.

As the world’s longest running tribute to Michael Jackson and the only one to predate his passing, Who’s Bad has stood the test of time for the last 14 years. The show comes to the

Opera House on February 8 at 7 pm.

Who’s Bad’s live performance is an unrivaled celebration of pop music’s one true king. ​​Who’s Bad has earned its name by paying studious attention to Michael Jackson’s every original groove and gravity-defying dance move, boasting over 100 years of professional experience and a team of dancers with resumes that include Broadway productions.

Enliven your winter with some comedy…and hypnosis!

Comic hypnotist Frank Santos Jr. will be at the Opera House on February 9 at 8 pm.

Frank Santos, Jr. has been mesmerizing audiences for over 20 years with his spectacular display of mind-bending antics that can turn any skeptic into a fan. No two shows are the same as the audience becomes the stars. Under his hypnotic spell, audience members are more than willing to follow every command, from awkward to outrageous in the unpredictable, hilarious, laughuntil-your-sides-hurt, R-rated comedy show. Santos is returning to the Opera House stage by popular demand for a ninth season!

Lauren Rainbow: An Evening with Spirit will take place on February 15 at 7 pm. Lauren is an evidential medium dedicated to bringing healing messages from loved ones in spirit to those here in the living. During a spirit demonstration with Lauren you will witness validating, evidential connections with Spirit and her own unique style of heart-centered messages. Lauren is a happy medium, spiritual teacher, and sacred journeyer, who is dedicated to Spirit, Healing and Love. Since 2001 her work with Spirit

has brought her all over the world.

Tusk, The Ultimate Fleetwood Mac Tribute, is the #1 Tribute to Fleetwood Mac in the world, bar none! Tusk will be at the Opera House on February 23 at 8 pm. The show promises no wigs, no backing tracks, no gimmicks… just five musicians recreating the music of Fleetwood Mac to perfection with note-for-note renditions that no other Fleetwood Mac tribute on the touring scene today can come close to duplicating.

Tusk covers all the great hits of Fleetwood Mac, which has featured the talents of Mick Fleetwood, Christine and John McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks and others over the years. The five well-respected musicians comprising Tusk have been making music together in various combinations and styles, in original outfits and in cover bands, for over 25 years. It seemed only fitting they should come together to form the Ultimate Fleetwood Mac Tribute, and pay homage to a group that dominated the charts during the band members’ formative years.

At the Rochester Performing Arts Center (RPAC), also in Rochester, more great shows are scheduled.

The Rochester Performance & Arts Center announces a Youth Cabaret on January 20 at 7 pm. The event will be a special edition of the new Sunday night cabaret series, this time featuring younger actors and singers.

The evening will consist of favorite Broadway songs sung by students age 18 and under who study and act at the Center, accompanied by pianist Kathy Fink. Instructors Kathy Fink and Katie Gall will be on hand to answer

questions about the Center’s programs.

All proceeds will go to support the arts and education programs at RPAC. Music From The Movie In My Mind - A Concert From Mike Walsh and His Invisible Band will bring songs that come from his heart...and some from his funny bone. The show will be on February 2 at 7:30 pm. Walsh will perform songs from his recent debut album of eclectic songs (floating around between his ears for decades) containing elements of comedy, rock, folk and blues. Come enjoy a night of song and humor with Mike and company!

RPAC presents an exciting Cabaret Series in downtown Rochester, featuring Kathy Fink on the piano and several acclaimed performers from around the region. Each Cabaret installment brings a new theme with a wide variety of musical styles. Past shows have featured performers like Linette Miles, Katie Gall, Christa Bellmare, Sarah O’Malley, Jordan Formichelli, Greg Bell, Trevor and Kat Gatcomb, Scott Richardson, Maria Boudreau, Heidi Gagne, Jen Saunders and more. This month’s theme is “Love is in the Air”. Proceeds directly support RPAC’s education and event programming. The show takes place on February 10, and doors open at 6:30 pm. The show starts at 7 pm.

The Rochester Opera House is located at Rochester City Hall, 31 Wakefield Street in Rochester, NH. For show tickets and information, call 603- 99 335-1992 or 603-332-2211.

Book Launch Coming This Winter at White Birch Books Mark your calendars! It’s that time of year again, when readers can look forward to a new thriller by awardwinning author, and area resident, Lisa Gardner. “Never Tell” is Lisa’s newest book and it debuts on Tuesday, February 19. The first place to see Lisa and get your signed copy is at the White Birch Books International Book Launch Party on February 18 at 7 pm at Theater in the Wood in Intervale.

Lisa Gardner, a #1 New York Times bestselling thriller novelist, began her career in food service, but after catching her hair on fire numerous times(!), she took the hint and focused on writing instead. A self-described research junkie, she turned her interest in police procedure and criminal minds into a streak of internationally acclaimed suspense novels.

The plot of “Never Tell” goes like this: A man is dead, shot three times in his home office. But his computer has been shot 12 times, and when the cops arrive, his pregnant wife is holding the gun.

D.D. Warren arrives on the scene and recognizes the woman—Evie Carter— from a case many years back. Evie’s father was killed in a shooting that was ruled an accident. But for D.D., two coincidental murders is too many.

Flora Dane sees the murder of Conrad Carter on the TV news and immediately knows his face. She remembers a night when she was still a victim—-a hostage—and her captor knew this man. Overcome with guilt that she never tracked him down, Flora is now determined to learn theLakerAd.pdf truth 1of1/9/2019 Conrad’s 4:25:03 PM murder.

But D.D. and Flora are about to discover that in this case the truth is a devilishly elusive thing.

Lisa lives in the Mt. Washington Valley where she spends her time with an assortment of canine companions.

When not writing, she loves to hike, garden, snowshoe and play cribbage.

Other Happenings Book groups meet at White Birch Books and are great ways to socialize and beat winter’s cabin fever.

The Thursday Night Book Club meets every fourth Thursday of the month and is open to any and all readers.

Discussions are fun, varied and – for the most part – stay on point.

The Mystery Book Club meets at the store on the second Thursday of every month. A small group, discussion books range from historical mysteries to contemporary thrillers. Books are usually picked a couple months in advance, but sometimes the group goes crazy and lines up books for several months. Wonderful friendships form and grow while discussing murder and mayhem as it should be!

A new book group, KIDLIT will be choosing topics relating to middle grades (ages 8-12) and young adults, reading books of their choice and then getting together monthly and sharing information. The group is open to all teachers, librarians, parents and anyone interested!

For information, call White Birch Books at 603-356-3200 or stop by the shop at 2568 White Mt. Highway, Rt. 16 in North Conway, NH.

Recycling and Creating Beauty at Simple Sacks NH

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper Photos courtesy Simple Sacks NH If you live a house or apartment, you have furniture. If you have furniture, you likely have an easy chair or a sofa. And if you have a chair or sofa, it is covered with fabric. It stands to reason the fabric has to be a bit thicker and more durable than mere cotton or another material of which a shirt or dress would be made. Usually, that material is upholstery fabric.

When it comes to upholstery fabric, the sky is the limit. Colors and patterns and fabric textures vary greatly, because the tastes of the buying public vary as well. Your home might have a muted color scheme and you want a quiet, patterned fabric for your sofa.

Or you might prefer a brighter color palette or a certain pattern, such as stripes or a floral design.

What does all this mean? The furniture we purchase in stores often have upholstery fabric samples galore.

You have probably seen such samples, which are swatches of various fabrics in an array of colors and patterns, held together on a single large circular clip or hanging from a display wall in a store.

Styles and tastes change with the seasons and each successive year, and it that, upholstery samples come and go. But most people have no idea what becomes of all those samples once they are no longer needed. Sadly, the fabric often ends up in landfills, because it can’t be used for much, once it has outlived its display floor usefulness.

That is where Eileen Russ and her business, Simple Sacks NH, come in.

Eileen has found a clever, beautiful and

functional way to repurpose all those fabric samples, creating gorgeous handmade bags of all kinds and sizes.

With a studio in North Conway, Eileen has a lot of upholstery fabric that finds new life in bags that have become extremely popular with customers far and wide.

“Furniture stores keep upholstery fabric samples for about six months,” she explains. “Then the fabrics get thrown out.”

Eileen is originally from Watertown, Massachusetts, and she has a Master’s degree in creative arts and learning.

She worked with children in afterschool programs where arts and crafts were part of the agenda. Her sister had moved to Bartlett, NH and 20 years ago Eileen felt it was time to leave the city as well and relocate to a quieter, more rural area.

Working in an after-school program, Eileen was looking for art supplies for student projects. She went to

SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD U/C CONSERVED

furniture stores asking for donations for children’s projects. A furniture store responded with a call saying they had a lot of fabric and would she be interested in it?

“A friend, Cheryl Hurst, and I got our hands on a windfall of upholstery fabric and leather and started experimenting making bags,” Eileen recalls. Working with fabric was nothing new to Eileen, because she had previously made and sold laundry bags.

In order to get a true sense of the beauty of upholstery fabric, just imagine a rainbow of textures and patterns and colors. Now imagine having all those fabrics at your fingertips, ready to be repurposed into handbags and other items. For someone like Eileen, who is creative and has a knack for sewing, it must have been a dream come true.

“I now have about five furniture stores that call me when they have a couple bags of fabric and I go pick it up,” she says. It makes her very happy,

and provides the material she needs for making bags, and the furniture stores feel good to have found a new use for the material rather than tossing it out.

According to Eileen’s website, www.simplesacksnh.com, “After a year of cold calling furniture stores around New England, we now have furniture stores calling us to come and collect their fabric samples. It’s a blast collecting and organizing beautiful fabrics with such a variety of colors, textures, weights and designs. Each fabric is really one of a kind. There’s one for every personality. It is a good feeling for the furniture stores, our customers and us to know that we are all doing our part to support the recycling and conservation effort that is vital to our environment.”

Because she had the sewing machines anyhow (she had used them previously to make laundry bags), it wasn’t necessary to purchase any new machinery to make bags once Eileen saw how popular her products were with the buying public. She had in her studio an industrial sewing machine with the capacity to do single stitch, serging and double stitching.

Her first foray into making bags was a small purse and her first attempt at selling bags was participation in an artisan fair. She quickly came to see that the events were a great way to get started and her purses and other bags made from the recycled upholstery fabrics were a hit from the start. But doing fairs, setting up a tent outdoors in the summer and carrying all the products got to be tiring. Now, Simple • Simple Sacks Continued on page 14

Page 14 • Simple Sacks Continued from page 13 Sacks of NH does three fairs a year, all great events for displaying and selling the bags.

Stores around New England sell the bags, and there are a number of locations in New Hampshire where shoppers can find the handmade bags. Eileen also has a website where products can be ordered.

A lot of the stores that carry Simple Sacks products have the small purses and coin purses, always popular with customers. Fields of Ambrosia in North Conway is one location that Eileen says carries her bags, as well as Flossie’s General Store in Jackson, NH. Eileen saves fabrics with moose and bear designs for bags she makes for Flossies, because she says is seems to be a store where customers love moose products!

The bags are all one-of-a-kind and made with a high degree of quality.

Eileen is picky about the construction and makes the bags to last. “I have a

Along Route 16 personal relationship with every bag I make!”

Construction is key, and customers like it that all the purses have zippers and all the bags are lined. Originally, Eileen was using shoelaces for ties on the big totes, but that morphed into flaps with a button closure over time.

Clearly, nothing is as exciting for Eileen as getting a call that a furniture store has a few bags of fabric to give her (and when she says “bag” she means a garbage bag size not a grocery store sized bag). Once she is back in her studio with the fabrics, she sorts them by dark, light, summer and fall styles of fabric. Samples vary in sizes, such as a 17 in. wide by 24 in. tall piece of upholstery fabric that could be used to make a tote if Eileen likes the colors and pattern. “Or I might use it for lining a bag. I’ve been getting really good fabrics.”

One feature of Simple Sacks that Eileen finds particularly fulfilling and fun is working with a client who has a color scheme in mind. If someone calls and says they saw one of Eileen’s

January 2019

bags on the web, but that customer has specific colors, for example, blue and black, Eileen will send photos of fabric in those colors and the customer can pick and choose whatever fabrics they want. Then, Eileen gets to work making a bag in the material the customer hand-picked.

Another great thing about Simple Sack products is that, because the fabric is donated, Eileen is able to keep her prices very reasonable. If she had to go out and purchase the fabric, prices would rise accordingly.

Because Simple Sacks reuses the fabrics, the furniture stores no longer have to feel bad about tossing out upholstery fabrics that would end up in the landfill. Eileen has the satisfaction of knowing she helped the recycling effort while creating bags and bringing something useful and beautiful to customers. And customers reap the benefit of being part of the recycling stream, and buying a bag at a reasonable price.

The next time you find yourself in a furniture store, you might take a second

look at the rich textures and colors of upholstery fabric samples. Imagine, for just a moment, those fabrics finding new life and purpose when Eileen takes such materials and creates handbags, coin purses and all sort of bags that brighten and bring pleasure to the lives of those who purchase a Simple Sack.

(For information and to view products, visit www.simplesacksnh. com or call Eileen at 603-356-4138. If you would like to visit the studio or you have fabric samples to donate, please call ahead to make an appointment to visit Simple Sacks NH in North Conway.)

Join the Wolfeboro Library’s Evening Book Group and Fight Off Cabin Fever!

In January and February, winter evenings can be long, cold and we find ourselves stuck indoors. Fight cabin fever with the Wolfeboro Public Library’s book discussion group, geared for any reader interested in attending an evening book group (the library’s other book groups meet during the day). The group will meet at 6:30 pm on Tuesday, February 5 at the library, with the chosen book being “Reservoir 13” by English author Jon McGregor. The author has garnered a reputation for a quiet but lyrical narrative style, and for seeking out the

surprises, the delights, and the beauty and sometimes the less pleasant in the heart of the everyday world that surrounds us.

“Reservoir 13,” winner of the Costa Novel Award, a New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice, long-listed for the Man Booker Prize, and named a Best Book of the Year by Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kirkus Reviews, and Los Angeles Review, was published in 2017. The opening of the book is midwinter in an English village. The plot is crafted around a teenage girl who has gone missing. Everyone is called

upon to join the search. The villagers fan out across the moors as the police set up roadblocks and a crowd of news reporters descends on what is usually a place of peace.

An extraordinary novel of cumulative power and grace, “Reservoir 13” explores the rhythms of the natural world and the repeated human gift for withstanding violence, unfolding over 13 years as the aftershocks of a tragedy refuse to subside. “The Guardian” called it “a chilling meditation on loss and time,” as well as “an enthralling and brilliant investigation of disturbing

elements embedded deeply in our story traditions.”

Pick up a copy of the book at the library, keeping in mind that the library will be closed for construction work until Tuesday, January 22; the library is then open Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday 9:30 am to 8 pm, Wednesday noon to 8 pm, and Saturday 9:30 am to 5 pm.

Refreshments will be served at the February discussion gathering. For more information, call 603-569-2428 or visit www.wolfeborolibrary.org.
