Vintage Snowmobiles Bring By-Gone Age to Milton Story & Photos by Mark Foynes Amidst the bob houses and ice fishermen on a recent late winter’s weekend, several vintage snowmobiles converged at the Milton Town Beach.

Enthusiasts provided free rides on the Three Ponds and had a chance to connect with fellow collectors. Most vehicles were Fords dating to the 1910s or the 1920s.

The atmosphere was upbeat. The Milton Historical Society added to the festivities and the spirit of local heritage. As a fundraiser for their non-profit, Society volunteers served hot dogs, popcorn, and grilled cheese sandwiches donated by The Pink House restaurant.

Snowmobiles at the event were of the original sort - converted Ford Model-Ts and Model-As. Many of them rolled off Henry Ford’s assembly lines a century ago as road vehicles. They were inexpensive, dependable, and easy for the dooryard mechanic to fix.

Historically, these early cars handled poorly in the snow.

A Little “Snowmobile” History Back in 1917, Virgil D. White operated a garage and Ford Dealership in West Ossipee. This was a time when winter road maintenance was geared more toward horse-drawn sleighs.

Roads were not plowed. Rather, town agents combed the roads with massive wooden rollers to compact the snow and ice. It was perfect for sleigh blades.

Not for cars.

This was an age before four wheel drive and snow tires. Virgil, in talking

Paul LeBlanc stands proudly by his 1918 Model-T Ford, which has been outfitted with a West Ossipee snowmobile converter kit. He was among the enthusiasts who converged at the Milton Town Beach recently to meet with fellow enthusiasts and provide rides for the general public at no charge.

with customers, noted that early motorists had difficulty traversing New Hampshire’s winter roadways. It was the beginning of the automotive era, and a period of transition.

This was especially the case with folks who needed to be out and about in bad weather conditions, such as electric linemen and doctors who made house calls, sometimes in very remote areas.

Virgil White had a light bulb moment. He reckoned that replacing the front tires with a set of skis, adding

a rear-end axle, and fitting the rear wheels with treaded tracks could help folks navigate the ice and snow. He devised a conversion kit that allowed motorists to turn their daily drivers into “snowmobiles.”

While snowmobiling is now considered a recreational activity, having a motorized method of transport in the snow was a game changer. Logs could be hauled more easily out of the woods.

Sickly patients could receive care. And newly-electrified homes could be rewired when the lights went out.

White charged $395 for each kit.

According to the website managed by Measuring Worth, this cost in 1918 equates to $4,350 in terms of today’s spending value. So the conversion kit, while brilliant, was not an impulse buy.

In 1917, White devised the kit. The following year, he applied for a patent and copyrighted the term “Snowmobile.” By 1922, he’d negotiated an agreement with the Ford Motor Company, which had exclusive sales rights through its dealerships.

Fun at the recent snowmobile event As my family and I drove to the event in Milton, there were bob houses aplenty. We even saw a fisherman working an auger to drill a fishing hole through the pond’s frozen surface to angle his quarry. Some fishermen were successful, walking along carrying buckets with some good sized perch, trout, and bass.

The event kicked off at 9:30 am.

Among the early arrivals was Paul LeBlanc, who showed off his one-ton 1918 Model-T snowmobile. He trailered up his rig from Brentwood in the Southern Tier and noted that his machine was original, including a vintage West Ossipee conversion kit.

The only exception are the tracks bright yellow. Clad with the original metal grippers, they do kind of stand out.

“They’re rubber re-fabbed from old firehose,” he said. LeBlanc explained

Water Talks - The American Eel: Our Most Mysterious Fish Due to the popular success of last year’s “Water Talks”, the Acton Wakefield Watersheds Alliance (AWWA), the Gafney Library in Sanbornville, NH and the Acton Public Library in Acton, Maine have joined together again this year for a new round of “Water Talks”, a free series of presentations by experts in their fields.

The talks are free and open to the public and the location will alternate between the Wakefield Opera House located at 2 High St, Sanbornville and the Acton Town Hall at 35 H Road, Acton, Maine. Light refreshments will be served at the events.

The first program will be held on March 20 at 2 pm at the Wakefield Opera House. Back by popular demand, Alyson Eberhardt of the New Hampshire Sea Grant & Cooperative Extension will present “The American Eel: Our Most Mysterious Fish.”

Eels live in fresh water and estuaries and only leave these habitats to enter the Atlantic Ocean to start their spawning migration to the Sargasso Sea. If you’ve never given much thought to the life cycle of the eel and the cutthroat world of eel poaching, prepare to be amazed.

The next three Water Talks will be as follows: April 17, 2 pm, Acton Town Hall Roberta Hill of the Maine Volunteer

Speaker Alyson Eberhardt.

Lake Monitoring Program will speak about invasive aquatic species.

May 8, 2 pm, Wakefield Opera House - Don Kretchmer of DK Water Resources Consulting, will speak about local fish.

June 12, 2 pm, Acton Town Hall Pam Hunt of NH Audubon will speak about dragonflies and damselflies.

The Acton Wakefield Watersheds Alliance, a non-profit established in 2005, is dedicated to protecting and restoring the water quality of the lakes, ponds, rivers and streams of Wakefield,

Pie and Baked Goods Sale Coming Up … and Steve Dow Concert

Seeing Human at the Gafney Library Spring is reflected in the bright, colorful art exhibit at the Gafney Library in Sanbornville. The March show “Seeing Human” features the works of 27 artists, known as “The Art Group,” who have been exhibiting their work together for many years. The Gafney is the first stop in the “Seeing Human” 2019 tour and will feature the exhibit through the end March. The exhibit will then make several stops in the New England area throughout the year.

“The Art Group,” formerly known as “Ossipee Riverland Artists League” was founded in 2004 and consists of a diverse group of artists from Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New York and Oregon. Members of the group work in various styles and mediums including watercolor, oil, acrylic, mixed media, encaustic, collage, sculpture, tapestry, jewelry, photography and videography. The group was founded by marine watercolor artist Ron Harrison of Salem, Massachusetts and is coordinated by Peter Abate of West Newfield, Maine.

Throughout history the human form has captivated artists and inspired works that encompass a wide range of aesthetic religious, political, social

and moral perspectives. The “Seeing Human” exhibit plays upon those ideals and includes a variety of mediums through which the artists express their unique vision of the human form and experience.

Artists participating in the tour are Peter Abate, Ruth Bleau, Darlene Bean, Bob Bond, Peggy Brewster, Steve Brown, Valerie Schurer Christle, Mabel Doyle, Ken Eason, Teresa M. Farina, Bob Farrell, Peggy Farrell, Ron Fountain, J.P. Goodwin, Joe Keller, Elaine Klement, Gary LaPierre, Heather MacLeod, Anita Muise, Mikel O’Brien, Shawn Pelech, Norman Royle, Gabe Smith, Jill Vendituoli, Lukas K. Weber, Corina Willette and Matt Wyatt.

The exhibit may be viewed during Gafney open hours of Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 1 to 7 pm, and Friday and Saturday from 9 am to 12:30 pm. The group will hold a reception at the Gafney on Saturday, March 16 from 10 am to 12:30 pm.

The library is located on High Street in Sanbornville, NH. For more information, call Library Director Beryl Donovan at 603-5223401.

• Vintage Snowmobiles Continued from page 3

Model-T. They literally jumped at the chance, leaping about three feet into the bed of his converted truck.

“C’mon,” Ken urged me. I was planning to hang back and just chat with some of the other exhibitors who came out. In a blink of a moment, I decided I couldn’t fully tell the story without the experience of going out for a cruise on one of these rigs. So I hopped on back alongside the girls, and off we went.

Ken was generous with his time: we did nearly a full round of the Pond.

One might think that snowmobiling along a frozen pond would be pretty smooth.

Nope.

Currents in the water, precipitation, and thaw-and-freeze cycles can create bumps akin to frost heaves on terra firma.

Model-T’s didn’t have suspension systems like our modern vehicles.

Rather, they had leaf springs not too different from what you’d find on a horse-drawn buggy. We were in for a bumpy ride and lots of giggles, confident of Ken’s sturdy hands at the wheel.

About 30 seconds into our ride, we found a bumpy spot on the ice, and all of us were jostled upwards maybe a quarter of an inch from our wood-paneled seats.

The next bump was bigger.

“That was a good one,” my daughter Cadie exclaimed.

Her bestie said, “I hope the next one is bigger.”

It was and I stopped taking notes, unable to write legibly.

Nonetheless, the ride, which many had a chance to experience, was great.

The overall event was sponsored by the Milton Parks and Rec department one of several events it supports over the course of the year. Each year the department plans a two-day winter carnival. For a calendar of upcoming events, visit miltonnh-us.com/milton-parks-recreation.

that fire departments can only use a hose for just so long and then it goes to auction. While not original, looking at the refab, we channeled the spirit of Henry Ford, who was known to innovate using the materials at hand.

“Henry would be proud,” we said, pointing to the tracks.

“I’d like to think so,” LeBlanc chimed in, standing beside his one-ton rig.

He noted that he acquired the Ford several years ago and spent “six or seven years” collecting the necessary parts.

“It’s a passion and kind of a bug,” he explained in describing how he got involved. He was one of several folks who brought their snowmobiles to put on display.

We also caught up with Peter Quinn from York, Maine. He owns a Model-A that he acquired from an old-timer from Sanford.

Quinn noted that snowmobiling on the ice is wonderful; but he urged caution. Recalling his 12-year stint with the Newington Fire Department, he said vintage and modern snowmobiles are a great source of recreation, but that those going out on the ice should be aware of the risks of taking machinery on the frozen water.

Have Chef - Will Travel Traditional St. Patrick’s Day Recipes

By Chef Kelly Ross Happy mid-March! March is a fun month because of St. Patrick’s Day. (I like to call it St. Paddy’s Day.) The usual St. Paddy’s dishes are traditional Corned Beef and Cabbage. Although I love corned beef, the boiled dinner thing is a bit boring to me; let’s share some classic Irish recipes that not many seem to attempt. (I love the classic Bangers and Mashed myself.) First, let’s talk Colcannon, an Irish mashed potato which is a fixture to many Irish meals.

As the old line goes, there are as many Colcannon recipes as there are chefs in Ireland. Mashed potatoes are a staple to a lot of Irish meals. Although there are many variations, this version of Colcannon has the crunch of cabbage and the great addition of leeks and garlic. Besides Bangers and Mashed, Colcannon makes a great traditional Irish Shepherd’s Pie, and also a potato crusted Guinness Pie, or even a potato crusted baked fish of choice.

Colcannon 1 ¼-1 ½ lbs Yukon Gold potatoes (or red bliss) Kosher salt

6 tbsp butter, divided 2 leeks, white and pale green parts only, sliced in half lengthwise, then sliced crosswise 2 garlic cloves, sliced as thin as possible.

2 packed cups of shredded savoy

cabbage, divided 1 ½ cups milk ½ cup heavy cream Fresh ground pepper 1 thinly sliced scallion The way I was taught to do this from an authentic Irishman was to boil the

Yukon potatoes until done, let sit for a bit to cool, and then peel the potatoes.

I’m a huge fan of mashed red bliss potatoes with the skin on, so do what you feel is best as far as cooking the potatoes goes. While the spuds are cooking and about halfway through the boiling process, melt 4 tbsp of the butter in a large pot over a medium heat. Add the leeks and cook for about 8 minutes while stirring. Add the garlic and continue to stir frequently until the garlic is aromatic and the leeks are starting to brown on the edges, maybe another 3 minutes. Add one cup of the shredded cabbage and cook, stirring constantly until they start to wilt. Add the milk and cream and bring to a simmer. Add the potatoes once drained and the remaining cup of cabbage.

Coarsely mash it all up with a potato masher, season with salt and pepper and transfer to a large bowl. Top with remaining 2 tbsp of butter and the scallions sprinkled over the top.

Let’s do a few things with Colcannon, as it is arguably the best accompaniment to be had on the • Have Chef Continued on page 12

Page 12 | ALONG ROUTE 16 | March 2019 • Have Chef Continued from page 11 classic Irish holiday. First, let’s start with the Bangers and Mash, although it can be tough to find true Bangers.

Bangers are a British and Irish sausage, usually made of pork, lamb, or beef.

The dish is usually served with an onion gravy and often with fried onion.

The sausage looks a lot like American breakfast link sausage, but the flavor is much different. Much of the difference is something called “rusk”, which is a wheat based filler. We all know that most sausages have some filler, especially when store-bought. The rusk gives the bangers a special “pop” to them, unlike many sausages. Not only a great pop in the mouth, but also in the pan while cooking, which is rumored to be why they are named Bangers, because of said pop. Authentic Bangers are what should be used if possible. Ask your local butcher for help. If you can’t find them, use a high quality breakfast link and make sure you use the onion gravy; that is a key part of the equation, and what also is huge is deglazing the sausage pan with a few splashes of red wine. I’m not going to give you the shopping list and directions on the potatoes as we just discussed those, but here is the rest of what you will need.

I have had Bangers and Mash without the traditional Colcannon, but instead with more of a cheesy mashed potato, which is also good. Your call on that one.

Bangers and Mash 2 tsp oil 8-10 bangers, about 1 ½ lbs ½ cup red wine ½ lb of sweet onion, sliced thinly in circles 2 tbsp flour

2 cups chicken broth/stock 1 tbsp soy sauce ½ tsp Worcestershire sauce Preheat a large skillet over mediumhigh heat. Add the oil, and about a minute later, add the Bangers. Cook for about 6-7 minutes, rolling often so they are browned on all sides. Remove the bangers to a plate. Add the onions to the pan, mixing somewhat until softened and browned. Add the wine and scrape the bottom of the pan to get all flavor off the bottom. This is the process of deglazing your pan. Reduce the wine about ¾ of the way, usually taking 3-4 minutes. Pop in the flour and continue to cook while stirring for 1-2 minutes. Stir in the broth, soy and Worcestershire. Add the bangers and any juice that may have leaked from them while sitting. Bring to a boil and continue to cook, turning the sausages frequently until the juices have thickened to a gravy-like consistency.

Irish Shepherd’s Pie Let’s give traditional Irish Shepherd’s Pie a whirl. Most of us know Shepherd’s Pie as the combo of burger, creamed corn and mashed potatoes.

The Irish version has ground lamb, so, if you don’t like lamb, I’m sure this recipe will be skipped. But, whether you like lamb or not, try their version, using ground beef instead of the lamb.

It is a completely different mix of flavors and ingredients. Actually, even if you don’t want to try this recipe with ground beef instead of lamb, next time you make the Americanized version, use the Colcannon potatoes. Whatever you want to do, here is the shopping list for traditional Shepherd’s Pie. This has always been a great comfort food.

The Filling 1 tsp olive oil 1 ½ lbs ground lamb

Kosher salt and black pepper 2 cups sweet onion, chopped 1 ½ cups of carrots, peeled and cut into ¼ inch coins 3 tbsp tomato paste 1 tbsp flour 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce 1 ¾ cups chicken broth/stock 1 cup frozen peas ¾ packed cup chopped fresh parsley Colcannon (recipe above) In a large skillet over a mediumhigh heat, add the olive oil and swirl it around the entire pan. Add the lamb and season with a tsp of salt. Break the lamb into bite-sized pieces, stirring as needed until browned and just cooked through, generally around 7-8 minutes.

Transfer the meat to a bowl, leaving 1 tbsp of fat in the skillet. Continue on a medium-high heat and add the onions and carrots, also seasoning this with 1 tsp of salt. Keep these stirred occasionally for about 7-8 minutes.

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for about 30 seconds while stirring. Stir in the flour and cook for a minute. Add the cooked lamb and any juices with it to the skillet. Stir in the chicken broth, Worcestershire, and ¼ tsp black pepper.

Bring it all to a boil while scraping the bottom of the pan to get up all the kibbles and bits of flavors that have attached to the pan. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until it starts to thicken, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat, add the peas and parsley and transfer to a 2-qt. baking dish. Spread your hot and prepared Colcannon over the top of the lamb concoction and bake for 35-45 minutes in a 375-degree oven. It should be bubbling around the upper sides of the dish. Let sit for 10 minutes before serving.

You know what would go great with this dish? I’m thinking Irish Soda

Bread to dip into the innards of this dish, not to mention to sop up the gravy of the bangers and mashed, so let’s end this article with a delicious and fairly simple crusty bread. It makes great toast in the morning as well. It is norise bread, so it goes together quickly.

Irish Soda Bread 4 cups all-purpose flour 4 tbsp white sugar 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp baking powder ½ tsp salt ½ cup softened margarine 1 cup buttermilk 1 egg ¼ cup melted butter ¼ cup buttermilk In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and soda, salt, and margarine. Stir in 1 cup of buttermilk and the egg. Mix well by hand using gloves if you have them. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured counter and knead lightly. Do not over knead it.

Form the dough into a round lump and place on a prepared baking sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray.

In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with the ¼ cup buttermilk and brush the loaf with this mixture.

Using a sharp paring knife, cut an X into the top of the loaf. Pop the bread into a 375-degree, preheated oven and cook for 45-50 minutes. Poke with a toothpick until it comes out clean.

After the 30 minute mark, check occasionally and brush with more of the butter/buttermilk mixture. Once it is done, let it sit for 10 minutes or so before slicing.

I hope you have a blast on St. Paddy’s Day, and make sure you eat some yummy food. If you have any questions or feedback, please touch base at fenwaysox10@gmail.com.

Tapping History by the Bucketful On New Hampshire Maple Weekend, the Remick Country Doctor Museum & Farm in Tamworth village welcomes visitors to an annual Open House in the Sugar House. The free event features New Hampshire’s sweetest natural product - maple syrup - and highlights aspects of historical sugaring practices. New this year, Museum festivities will take place on both days of the statewide celebration on Saturday, March 23 and Sunday, March 24 from 11 am to 3 pm.

Situated on the grounds of an historic farmstead, Saturday’s event will highlight historical and modern sugaring methods. Through demonstrations, visitors will gain an understanding of early Abenaki Indian boiling practices and the boiling method typically used in traditional woodland gathering sites known as a sugar bush.

Also on view is the handmade backyard boiler (made from an old oil drum using Yankee ingenuity) of the museum’s namesake country doctor, Doc Remick.

On both weekend days in the Sugar House, a modern evaporator will provide insight into today’s more streamlined process of turning maple sap into maple syrup.

Sample maple-glazed popcorn and purchase maple syrup to take home.

Remick-made maple treats can be purchased for enjoyment on-site or at home. All items are available while supplies last.

The farm grounds are open for meetand-greets with the pastured farm animals. Admission is free and open to the public.

The Remick Country Doctor Museum & Farm is a member of the New Hampshire Maple Producers Association. (The Museum Center will not be open for this event.)

Founded in 1996 and open year round, the Remick Country Doctor Museum & Farm is located in Tamworth Village to celebrate 200-plus years of agricultural tradition and interpret the world of the country doctor through the lives of Dr. Edwin “Doc” Crafts Remick (1903-1993) and his father, Dr. Edwin Remick (1866-1935).

In addition to the Museum Center and historic Captain Enoch Remick House (circa 1808), the museum features walking trails, vegetable and herb gardens, grazing pastures, agricultural outbuildings, a maple sugar house and more. Workshops, classes, history-based and farm-to-table events occur in all seasons.

Prints by artist Peggy Merritt, who will be giving a talk about printmaking on March 24.

The lecture is hosted by the Sandwich Home Industries.

The Secrets of Printmaking Why was Pablo Picasso so inspired by printmaking that he bought his own etching press? Many other artists, including Rembrandt, Matisse, and Winslow Homer, have used printmaking to express their artistic visions.

Learn the characteristics of handpulled prints and why they have captured the interest of so many famous artists. On March 24 at 4pm, Peggy Merritt, a Sandwich printmaker, will talk about her craft at the Benz Center in Sandwich.

Peggy will describe various printmaking techniques, including etching and lithography, using images from well-known artists and from her own work. The audience will have an opportunity to examine the prints closely, as well the plates and tools used to produce them. She will also talk about current practices and modern materials

that reduce hazards in the printmakers’ studio and increase the breadth of artistic expression.

“I love to express my imagination in hands-on work,” says Peggy. “The technical details of printmaking also appeal to my background as a chemist.” Her goal through her talk is to remove some of the mysteries about her chosen medium.

The printmaking talk takes place at the Benz Center on Heard Road in Center Sandwich. It is part of a series of free Sunday afternoon seminars offered this winter and spring by the Sandwich Home Industries. The final talk in this series is April 14, when Rebecca Goodale will talk about art books, including her “Illuminated Autobiography.”

Taming of the Shrew Comes to Sandwich Advice To The Players (ATTP), a Shakespearian Company in Sandwich, is starting its 20thanniversary season with one of the Bard’s famous comedies, The Taming of the Shrew, directed by the company’s beloved founder, Caroline Nesbitt. Performances will be at the Sandwich Town Hall Theater on March 15, 16, and 23 at 7:30 pm and March 17 and 24 at 2 pm.

A play within a play, The Taming of the Shrew tells the story of a Lord’s trick on a local drunkard, in which he convinces the drunk that he is, in fact, a Lord and has his servants put on a play to entertain him. The play they perform is the main story of The Taming of the Shrew – where an Italian noble, out of his wits with his eldest daughter, Kate, a mean-spirited and independent woman, decrees that Kate must marry before her sweet, gentle, and beautiful younger sister, Bianca can. Bianca’s suitors, of which there are many, despair; but it is her suitor Hortensio who comes up with the scheme to marry Kate off to his strong-willed and determined

friend Petruchio. Friend Petruchio is enticed by Kate’s dowry, and decides to accept the challenge of ‘taming her’.

M e a n while, a young student named Lucentio has also fallen in love with Bianca and secretly woos her while the others are distracted with Kate and Petruchio’s tumultuous courtship – making The Taming of the Shrew a hilarious comedy from start to finish.

The Taming of the Shrew is directed by ATTP founder Caroline Nesbitt, and presented by an all-star ATTP cast, including C a r s e y Walker, Jr., Kimberly M i l l e r , R e b e c c a Mansfield, D e n n i s Sullivan, Frederick Bickford, Luke Haskell, Corey Trask, Ellie Bartz,

Andrew Burke, and Vicky Dworkin, along with Amelia Nudd-Homeyer, Kat Sugar, CJ Dall, Andrew Sugar, and Ginger Priestman. Meredith Village Savings Bank sponsors the production.

Advice To The Players is a unique company of theater professionals, enthusiastic community members and energetic teens who have been performing Shakespeare and offering workshops in New Hampshire’s lakes and mountains region since 1999. The group’s award-winning productions bring William Shakespeare’s richly passionate plays to life and introduce new generations to live theater and to Shakespeare’s brilliantly rendered portraits of humanity.
