Short on time? Short on stamina? But want a gorgeous view? Here are five short walks in the ‘Boros—Wolfeboro, Tuftonboro and Moultonboro—that fit the bill. None have to take longer than an hour, all are easily found, but each one makes you forget the hustle and bustle of normal life. McKinney Park, Wolfeboro: located at the Lake Winnipesaukee end of Clark Road in Wolfeboro, McKinney Park is Wolfeboro’s smallest and least visited park. On a pretty, wooded .3 acres of land, it edges right down to Winnipesaukee. Picnic, bird watch, or swim in the deep waters. It’s a favorite spot for scuba divers, and was given to the Town of Wolfeboro by Charles Edward McKinney, Jr., who bought the land from Greenleaf Clark (for whom Clark Road and the Clark House are named) in 1905 for $200! Please contact Wolfeboro Parks and Rec about handicapped accessibility. You can spend five minutes or all day at McKinney Park. Moody Mountain Forest, Wolfeboro: located off Beach Pond Road in Wolfeboro, almost at the Tuftonboro/Ossipee line, the 250-acre parcel of land was grant-
of heights. From the top, sunset brings fresh breezes and breathtaking views of treetops and rolling hills, Lake Winnipesaukeee and a glimpse of Castle in the Clouds. Allow at least 30 minutes to really enjoy the Abenaki Tower experience. The Loon Center, Moultonboro is located on Lee’s Mills Road in Moultonboro. Two trails are offered in the 200-acre Frederick and Paula Anna Markus Wildlife Sanctuary. The 1/4-mile Forest Walk is an especial favorite of families with small children. Its short, flat path winds through the cool woods, offering a chance to observe a variety of birds and wildflowers in early summer. The longer, 1.7 mile Loon Nest Trail goes through a remarkable diversity of forest, marshlands, streams, ponds and 5,000 ft. of Lake Winnipesaukee shore. There are giant granite rocks to climb; benches placed for relaxation while wildlife watching. Summer is prime loon viewing season, and the trail passes near the nest of the Center’s resident loon family. The Frederick and Paula Anna Markus Wildlife Sanctuary was donated to promote protection, biomonitoring, appreciation and understanding of the nat•Walks Continued on page 4

Welcome Summer at The Barnstormers! The Barnstormers stage in Tamworth is buzzing with movement as preparations begin for the 87th season of bringing live, professional theatre to the White Mountains and Lakes Region! Opening June 29 with the hilarious Monty Python musical Spamalot, The Barnstormers have put together a collection of audience favorites to make for one rollicking summer season. “It’s a season for the books,” said Robert Shea, Artistic Director of The Barnstormers Theatre. “We are excited to share it with our community, both long-time audience goers and new ones alike!” Adding to the excitement of the season, The Barnstormers is bringing back the greatest ghost story of all time; The Ghost Train. As the very first show The Barnstormers ever produced back in 1931, it is one that audiences, whether seeing it for the first time or the fourth, never seem to forget. My Three Angels is a bad guys gone good story where it turns out the heroes are not quite what you’d expect! This is a delightful, fun-for-all-ages play
The Barnstormers Theatre, located in downtown Tamworth, kicks off the summer season of live theatre with Monty Python’s Spamalot on June 29.

the acres between the water bottling plant, Riding Stables and the Carriage House/Visitor Center. Wander beyond Shannon Pond and you’ll find some trails groomed sufficiently for wheelchair access. A favorite trail among young families is the 1.8-mile Oak Ridge Trail. Built largely on wide carriage trails more than a century ago, it is wooded enough to make children feel that they’re bushwhacking and banked and maintained sufficiently for caretakers to let the children enjoy the area. It isn’t too steep and the landscape is varied so new hikers don’t get bored. The top opens on sunny ledges and a wide view of Castle in the Clouds and Lake Winnipesaukee in the distance.

Women Soliders of Civil War Program The Wright Museum will host the ninth lecture in its Ron Goodgame and Donna Canney 2017 Educational Program Series on Tuesday, June 20 from 7 to 8 pm at the Wright Museum, located at 77 Center Street, Wolfeboro, NH. Doors open at 6 pm. The program is a fascinating one: “Women Soldiers of the American Civil War”, presented by Professor Sarah Batterson. Throughout history, women have participated in
war efforts not only at home but also on the battlefield as well. Women have always played important roles in army camps: from nursing, to laundry, food service, and, of course, prostitution. For a small but significant number of women, war not only brought them into battle, it motivated them to disguise themselves as men and take up the musket and sword. During the Civil War, it is estimated that more than four
hundred women concealed their sex in order to fight. This lecture will focus on the adventures of some of the known women who risked their lives, asking what motivated these women and if they truly were ahead of their time. Professor Sarah Batterson holds a Ph.D. in History from the University of New Hampshire and a joint-M.A. in Anthropology and Women’s Studies. She currently teaches courses in African-American
history and Gender history at UNH. An avid history enthusiast since the age of eight, in her spare time she can be found reading about the past or exploring historical sites around New England. Admission for the program is $8.00 per person, by cash or check. Wright Museum members are admitted for free. Space is limited, and reservations are strongly recommended to ensure sufficient seating for all. Call 603-569-1212.

Joining McCarthy will be Mainesqueeze, a band that brings a vibrant mix of rhythm and roots, Texas swing, folk and country. Following on July 8 is Acoustic Radio, a seacoast-based band that has a sound described as ‘the Beatles gone country.’ The musicians have more than a century of experience with musical influences,alternative and classic rock to country.

Silent Auction Has Many Great Items A beautiful caned and refinished chair donated by Rod Wilson of Meredith will be a selected item for the Summer Silent Auction to benefit Interlakes Community Caregivers and the Lakes Region Food Pantry. The auction will be held on Saturday, July 8 at the Moultonborough Function Hall (formerly known as the Lions Club building) on Old Route 109 in Moultonborough from 3 to 7 pm. “The services provided by these two nonprofits are important to so many people and are needed in our community,” stated Rod Wilson when asked why he wanted to donate to the fundraiser. Many may know Rod from the family business of BasketWorld, a local shopping destination for decades specializing in caned and rattan furniture and other goods. Rod has been honing his skills over the years, specifically since 2009 when he closed the business, and now offers his talents through his business “Yesterday to Today”.
In addition to the auction at this fundraising event, Bryan Conway, a well-known local musician, will entertain the crowd with his songs, music and personality. A delicious barbecue of hamburgers, hot dogs, chips and soda will be available at a nominal fee. The 50/50 Raffle drawing will take place, with tickets on sale now at the offices of both Community Caregivers and the Food Pantry and other locations. Some of the other great auction items include a flat-screen television, large popcorn maker, kayak, and mountain bike. Fun family activities include passes to Florida’s Magic Kingdom and Universal Studios, regional destinations such as Boston Duck Tours, York’s Wild Kingdom, Mohegan Sun and local destinations, such as the Squam Lakes Science Center, Polar Caves and Castle in the Clouds. Don’t forget winter activities, such as passes to Bretton Woods. Guests will also be able to bid on restaurant gift certificates such as Indian Head Resort,
Cup and Crumb, and Common Man restaurants. Donations continue to be gratefully accepted by contacting either Community Caregivers or the Food Pantry.

The Dixie Swim Club Makes a Splash at Little Church Theatre The Dixie Swim Club has received rave reviews around the country for its southern wit, unforgettable characters and “two hours of hilarity with a heart” according to Iowa Life Magazine. The play is about five former members of a women’s college swim team that have only three rules for their annual getaways that span 33 years: No business, no men and no children. That leaves martinis, skinny-dipping and plenty of time to catch up during the two-act comedy running June 29, 30 and July 1 at 7:30 pm at The Little Church Theater in Holderness. Teammates for life include Plymouth’s Suzanne Bannister who plays Sheree, the spunky former team captain and organizer, and Ashland’s Mandy Gennaro who plays Dina, wisecracking lawyer and career dynamo. Tamara McGonagle of Gilford plays Southern belle Lexi, who revels in her status as a man magnet.
Jule Finley of Franklin portrays Vernadette, a hard luck case who faces her tribulations with gallows humor.
Meredith Rotary to Auction Signed Nicklaus Painting during Golf Tournament
The Meredith Rotary Club has announced the 10th annual Meredith Rotary Scholarship Golf Classic at Waukewan Golf Club will take place on Friday, June 23. All proceeds will benefit the Meredith Rotary Scholarship Fund. As a very special addition to the Meredith Rotary Scholarship Golf Tournament this year, through the generosity of a Rotary member, there will be available for auction a large signed painting of Jack Nicklaus with his son Jackie caddying for him at the 1986 Masters.
In 1986, Nicklaus won his record 18th major with a great final round to win by one stroke. The large framed painting of Jack and his son is signed by both of them and would be an amazing addition for any golf-loving collector. The minimum bid for this framed, original autographed lithograph is $1,500 and proceeds will go directly to funding local scholarships. Pre-registration for the golf tournament is recommended. For information and registration, please call Bob Kennelly at 603-279-5393. Additional information can be found at www.meredithrotary.org.
North Woodstock’s Diane Nickerson has a lot of ‘splainin’ to do as Jeri Neal, the nun who gives up her vows to have
a child. Doreen Fontina Sheppard of Belmont is in the director’s chair. The trio of Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope and Jamie Wooten, specialize in writing laugh-out-loud comedies and creating vivid strong roles for women. Together they have written classic television, hit movies and other Off Broadway comedies including Dearly Beloved and Dearly Departed, Always A Bridesmaid, The Red Velvet Cake War, The Savannah Sipping Society and more. Guys too will enjoy the show. A recent review by USA Today pointed out, “Though a chick play, I have to say there were plenty of men in the audience - who were laughing just as hard as the women.” Tickets are $30 for reserved seats in the first four rows and $20 for general admission and can be purchased online at littlechurchtheater. com or by calling 603-968-2250.

July at the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center There is always something nature related going on at the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center in Holderness. From boat cruises to lectures to viewing the animals in their natural outdoor surroundings, put the Science Center on your summer or fall to-do list. Squam Lakes Natural Science Center continues the summer lecture series with a program about Scotland called An Armchair Tour of Scotland on Wed., July 5 from 7 to 8 pm. Every year Executive Director Iain MacLeod leads a personal tour of his native Scotland. Iain has developed multiple itineraries that explore different regions of the
Highlands and Islands. Each trip takes in the natural and cultural history of the area. Iain chooses fine “country house hotels” with excellent food and comfortable accommodations where the group can relax and enjoy the best of Scottish hospitality. This presentation shares trip highlights, including Iain’s upcoming June trip to the Orkney and Shetland Islands, perhaps whetting an appetite for a future tour. There is no charge to attend but reservations are required. For details, go to www.nhnature.org or call 603968-7194. Can You Hear Me Now? takes place

New Laws in Effect to Protect New Hampshire Water Bodies As the boating season is beginning in earnest, the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) reminds boaters of a new law that went into effect on January 1, 2017 to prevent additional aquatic invasive species infestations. Specifically, the law prohibits any transport of any aquatic plants on recreational gear and related trailers, and goes further to require that boats and other watercontaining devices be in the open drain position during transportation. Violators could face fines ranging from $50-$200. New Hampshire Marine Patrol, conservation officers and other peace officers are enforcing this law. Freshwater aquatic invasive plants and animals are those that are not naturally found in New Hampshire’s lakes, ponds, and rivers. Because they are not native, they have no predators or diseases, allowing them to grow quickly and dominate the freshwater systems and impact the native plants, fish, and aquatic insects already present. Aquatic invasive species can lead to reduced shorefront property values, water quality impairments, and problems with the aesthetic and recreational values of water bodies. According to Amy Smagula, the
NHDES Exotic Species Program Coordinator, “New Hampshire now has a total of 74 infested lakes and 11 infested rivers, most containing variable milfoil as the primary invasive plant, while others have fanwort, Eurasian water milfoil and water chestnut, among other common species. Dozens of water bodies also support the Chinese mystery snail, which is an aquatic invasive animal, and four water bodies support the Asian clam, also an aquatic invasive animal.”

Lake hosts are present at many public access sites, and spend time educating boaters and performing critical courtesy boat inspections to check for invasive species tagalongs, but boaters are encouraged to do their own routine checks as well. Specifically, NHDES strongly encourages boaters to practice the “Clean, Drain, Dry” protocol, to
ensure that their gear is free and clear of any potential invasive species or other contaminants: CLEAN off any plants, animals and algae found during your inspection and dispose of it away from a water body. DRAIN your boat; bait buckets, bilges and other equipment away from the water body, leaving your boat’s drain in the open position during transport. DRY anything that comes into contact with the water. NHDES urges lake and river residents and visitors to routinely monitor for aquatic invasive species and report new infestations of anything suspicious early. Look for plants or animals that appear to be growing or increasing in number quickly, and that do not appear to be part of the native aquatic community. For more information or to report a potential new infestation, please contact the Exotic Species Program Coordinator at Amy.Smagula@des.nh.gov or 603271-2248.

Yester year Tough Times for Royalty: The Royal Governors of NH By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper
The Royal Governors…the title has a ring to it and reminds one of the pre-Revolutionary War days in the New England area. It brings to mind a gentleman in powdered wig, silk waistcoat and knee breeches sitting in an elegant parlor sipping tea and writing long letters back to the King in England. The letters would report how things were going in America, the King’s newest colony and a place rich with timber and other goods just ripe
for the picking. That image could describe New Hampshire’s Royal Governors, and more specifically the Wentworths, who ruled the state for years leading up the Revolutionary War. After the war and freedom from England’s rule, the Wentworths lost the power and position they once enjoyed. The name Wentworth is still to be found in the Lakes Region, where the last Royal Governor, John Wentworth, had a summer home, making Wolfeboro

the “First Summer Resort in America” in the 1700s. It also is the name of one of the area’s prettiest bodies of water, Lake Wentworth. An old black-and-white photograph of the former site of the Wentworth mansion in the Wolfeboro area at www.historicnewengland.org (by H.W. Reynolds, 1923) in intriguing. It shows a woodsy area and one must look hard to spot the foundation of the former Wentworth home. It does, however, show that people have been drawn to this quiet spot for many years.) The story of the Royal Governors/ Wentworths has the elements of a good mini series: wealth, manipulation, power, family struggles and of course, a lakeside mansion thrown in for good measure. Between around 1680 and 1741, Britain appointed a governor to rule over Massachusetts and New Hampshire. The governorship of the Wentworths started with John Wentworth, who, according to Wikipedia.org, was born in England in 1671 and died in Dover, New Hampshire in 1730. He was trained as a sea captain and appointed by Queen Anne as a councilor for New Hampshire in 1712. By 1714, he was lieutenant governor of the area. He also reigned over the Province of Massachusetts. After his death, his
three sons – Samuel, Benning and Mark Hunking Wentworth - (he had 13 children) rose to prominence over time. After John’s death, others arrived to govern the area, but by 1741 Benning was appointed the next Royal Governor. Benning was born in Portsmouth, New Hampshire and attended Harvard, where he graduated in 1715. The family, by this time, was well established and of the upper class. Although a remote area, New England saw its own power struggles. Benning’s father was a distant relation of the Marquis of Rockingham, and the Marquis was a separate governorship for New Hampshire. There were border disputes with Massachusetts and it may have boiled down to who was doing favors to gain the most land. Eventually, King George’s Board of Trade decided to create two states and two governorships – one for Massachusetts and another for New Hampshire. Benning was in England at the time, trying to untangle a personal financial situation created when timber shipped and sold to Spain went unpaid. He ended up in bankruptcy and as part of • Yesteryear Continued on page 25

June 19, 2017 New Hampshire. Benning took up his new job in New England/New Hampshire and began to make many land grants with the blessing of England. Benning was probably a shrewd businessman and sold land to developers in remote areas, which could have angered locals. But according to Wikipedia.org, Benning also created many towns and helped the growth of New England; the self-supporting towns would be required to form democratic governments with an annual town meeting, the first such gatherings to be held in the new country. However, he resigned as Governor in the 1760s. Perhaps as a gesture of goodwill, Benning donated 500 acres of property to Dartmouth College. On a personal note, Benning married
Abigail Ruck of Boston around 1720; they had three children who all died before their father. After Abigail’s death in 1755, Benning created quite a stir when at the age of 64, he married the family’s youthful housekeeper, Martha Hilton. The last of the Wentworths to rule New Hampshire was Benning’s nephew, Sir John Wentworth. He is the best known of the Royal Governors, and especially in the Lakes Region where he built his summer mansion on the shores of the lake named for the Wentworth family. John, when appointed governor, was soon to step into a hornet’s nest of trouble as the stirrings of the American • Yesteryear Continued on page 27

We all know the Lakes Region is a tourist mecca, and mecca in the literal sense of the word. People make pilgrimages here from all over the world, traveling long distances and sometimes in adverse conditions to return to their lake…whichever of the 273 of them that “their” lake happens to be. For most people, “travel” today means that once they enter New Hampshire, they speed up Interstate 93, 95, Rt. 28, 16, or 11 in a car, turn onto at least one or more two-lane roads and after encountering narrow shoulders, frost heaves, sharp turns, and probably a few members of the wildlife community, they arrive at their longed-for destination. But how did folks get here before roads were carved and automobiles dependable? Actually, the very first recognizable tourists arrived on account of a road, the Governor’s Road. It ran from the colonial capitol of Portsmouth to Wolfeboro. Built at the command of Royal Governor John Wentworth in the 1700s, the road was intended to eventually extend across the state, enabling efficient transport of mast trees from the inner reaches of the colony to the Portsmouth Harbor and to connect the seacoast to Hanover,
where Dartmouth was founded as a school to Anglicize native Americans. Knowing a good opportunity when he saw it, the Governor also recognized the tranquility of Lake Wentworth. In 1769, a 50-mile stretch of road was completed, conveniently ending at the summer retreat he had built for himself on the shores of the seventh largest lake in the New Hampshire. This led to a renaming of the water body to “Lake Wentworth,” and made possible the “Oldest Summer Resort” tagline Wolfeboro put into use two centuries later. In the next hundred years or so, people continued to travel to and from the Lakes Region, for business and domestic reasons, but not generally for vacation. For one thing, the middle and lower classes knew nothing of “vacation,” and for another, unless one were blessed with a plethora of hired help and financial resources to keep a place in the Lakes Region, a vacation entailed the hiring of a retinue of help to offset some of the more primitive aspects of living in under populated central New Hampshire. It was not until the advent of the railroad and the machinations of their marketing departments that the Lakes Region started gaining a near-religious following among tourists.

June 19, 2017 • Yesteryear Continued from page 25 Revolution began. Resentments against England were growing in the colonies; it is certain some of that resentment was aimed at the Wentworths and the amount of land and power the family acquired over the years. John’s parents were from wealth in New Hampshire and John attended Harvard, where he graduated with a degree in 1758. (Ironically, while at Harvard, John became close friends with one of the founding fathers – and an eventual President – of the United States, John Adams.) As he went out into the business world, young John made a bold move by partnering with others to purchase and develop a large amount of land in the Lake Winnipesaukee area. He also traveled to England and was sympathetic and helpful in the repeal of the hated Stamp Act; he must have sided with the colonists back in America. John was likely a diplomatic man and he interceded on his Uncle Benning’s behalf, convincing those in power to allow his uncle to resign his governorship. In 1766 John was appointed Governor and vice admiral of New Hampshire. Times were changing, and John was part of that change. The state was growing and he helped with the division of New Hampshire into five counties; two of them were named after his relations in England: Rockingham and Strafford. John Wentworth also ordered the development of roads between towns. Additionally, he saw a need to develop a militia, and it was this very militia that would soon turn against England and their New Hampshire governor in the fight for freedom. Trouble and unrest was brewing all over New England and after the Boston Tea Party, Wentworth, through his diplomatic skills, is said to have
stopped a similar rebellion in the Portsmouth area. After the 1774 removal of guns and gunpowder from Fort William and Mary, Governor Wentworth was right in the middle of the conflict. But this time he was angered by the defiance of removing the guns and he ordered the militia to keep the peace. The militia was becoming more resentful, and soon it was clear the days of governing by the Wentworths would soon be over. There was trouble and anger brewing in the Seacoast area of New Hampshire, and John and his wife Frances fled by ship to Canada. However, before the rebellion, John built a beautiful summer home in the Lakes Region in the area that is now Wolfeboro. Visitors today will find the mansion long gone, but traces of its former glory remain, mostly through stories. The Governor must have loved the lake, because he chose to build his summer home on the shores of what would become known as Lake Wentworth. The shore of his property totaled about a two-mile stretch. At the landing, supplies for the mansion would have arrived from the seacoast area or Boston. The bustling property had a sawmill and barns for cattle. The Governor often entertained for weeks at a time, bringing important dignitaries from all over New England and perhaps Europe to the rural Lakes Region. It is said Frances, the Governor’s wife, loved socializing. Although she entertained often when in the Lakes Region, Frances was not fond of the country and probably found it isolating and remote. After the Revolutionary War, the estate on Lake Wentworth was put up for public auction in 1780. The 60-plus acres of land included the mansion and all its furnishings. It passed through various owners over the years and was destroyed by fire in the 1820s. In 1933, landowner Lawrence S. Mayo

The Always Fascinating Libby Museum…and a few fun facts about Dr. Libby By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper I’m in love with Dr. Libby. From the first time I saw his piercing, intense, dark-eyed gaze and fancy, artsy Victorian clothing, I have found him a fascinating person. I admire his wife, Mrs. (Hattie) Libby, as well. In an age when most women – especially in a small town in rural New England – dressed with austerity, Mrs. Libby looks to have had quite a lot of style, from her jaunty little caps to the patterned embroidery that embellished her velvet jacket sleeves and collar. If the reader fears I am about to launch into a flowery description fit for a romance novel, rest assured that is not the case. Instead, I am writing about the Libby Museum, that wonderful and highly unusual place located at 755 North Main Street near the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee in Wolfeboro. If anyone understands my love of Dr. Libby (his full name was Dr. Henry Forrest Libby), it is Alana Albee, the new director of the Libby Museum. Spend just a few minutes with Alana, and you will find the time slips away and suddenly you have been chatting and exchanging ideas and listening to her descriptions of Scotland, where she lived for many years before returning to Wolfeboro. Alana stepped into the job as director of the Libby Museum a bit by accident. She explains that she is a “local girl.” Her grandfather, Allen Albee, is well known to many locals and people who spent summer vacations at the Allen A Resort on Rt. 28 in Wolfeboro. Mr. Albee built a resort that was anything but run-of-the-mill. “I have a photo of one of my grandfather’s circus animals – an elephant – bathing in the lake!” Alana laughs. She grew up near the resort and remembers very well the circus animals, the cabins, the dances and music at the Allen A Resort Quonset building (today the home of
the NH Boat Museum) and much more. For many years, Alana and her husband lived in Scotland and parts of Asia and Africa. She is modest about her work as an international diplomat with the British government, although it assuredly was a job that required being a people-person. She does, however, have plenty to say about the wonderful collection at the Libby Museum. She returned (with her husband) to Wolfeboro in 2014 and after settling in, decided she would like a part-time job. While doing some historical T H E
PERFECT GRASS... AT A PERFECT PRICE!
research work at Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro, Alana discovered there was a connection between the Academy and Dr. Libby. Off she went to the museum to do some further research and was approached to apply for the job of director of the natural history museum. It is safe to say it was a perfect match. Alana has a lot of plans for the museum and is a roll-up-your-sleeves-andget-the-job-done sort of person. One would assume Dr. Libby would be very pleased to hear about Alana’s plans and her caring for the vast collection he amassed so many years ago.
“The collection needs to be cared for,” she says emphatically. “This is a museum of museums. The building opened in 1912 and Dr. Libby wanted to share his collection with everyone.” Dr. Libby was born on a farm in Tuftonboro Neck in 1850 and he grew up loving the natural world. He moved to Boston at age 19 and worked for an itinerant dentist, later attending Harvard Dental School. Dr. Libby married Hattie and they had one son, Arthur. According to www.thelibbymuseum.org, “At age forty, in 1897, Dr. Libby changed his life’s focus returning to the Lakes Region to pursue his interest in the natural world. By then he had invented and patented calcined gypsum, critical to preservation and later to the building trade. He stated, ‘…life began anew for me, or rather the man I was meant to be was born… I began to see and feel the force and beauty of nature… from then on I commenced to collect things, study anatomy, sketch, draw and study.’ Dr. Libby turned his specimens into exhibits, and built the museum to house his, and others’ collections which we so enjoy today.” Dr. Libby lived until 1930, and his life was certainly a full one, with travel, a profession that helped others, and a lot of creativity. Historically speaking, Dr. Libby’s dream was realized when he saw the museum completed and opened. Early postcards and photos show a building not so different from the one visitors browse through today. The structure’s architecture is a bit difficult to describe: the walls are tall, the roof unusual, the windows frosted (presumably to keep out damaging sunlight) and placed high up near the roofline. The museum’s main exhibit space is one very large, airy room with wooden floors. Glass cases line the walls and more cases in the center of the room house a most unusual collection, from early dental • Libby Continued on page 29

June 19, 2017 • Libby Continued from page 28 tools to a display of intricate Native American beading. And there are the mummy’s hands (yes, a real mummy!) circa the time period of Moses, a very, very long time ago. If you want to see a huge, openedmouth alligator, this is the place to come. A taxidermist did his job well years ago when preserving the very long, scaly alligator now encased under glass. The alligator sends a shudder through many visitors, with its dead-eyed stare and open mouth full of pointy teeth. If you are a fan of reptiles, check out the varieties of snakes including the native to NH rattlesnakes that may have lived on Rattlesnake Island on Winnipesaukee! I found the intricate and colorful beading on the Native American moccasins and other objects quite beautiful. Surely Dr. Libby put a lot of care into collecting every piece in the museum and it takes one’s breath away to imagine the time it took to thoughtfully display it all. There are Revolution-era rifles, stuffed birds of all kinds, a Polar Bear, a fairly new and according to Alana, very popular moose in the collection as well. “If you are a history buff or natural science lover or a child who wants to see some different things, this is the place to come,” Alana adds. The town of Wolfeboro, she says, has stewarded the property and collection since the 1950s and they, along with the Libby family honor Dr. Libby’s wish to have the many items cared for and
the museum open to the public every summer to enjoy. The town of Wolfeboro is working toward the goal of becoming known far and wide as a museum destination town. After all, Alana says, there are five wonderful museums in Wolfeboro (the Wright Museum of WWII, the NH Boat Museum, Clark House Museum, the upcoming Railway Museum and the Libby Museum) and not many towns can claim such a collection. Among the plans the town has for the Libby Museum is a new fan system and perhaps going back to the building’s original ceiling. Work was completed a few years ago on a nature trail and at present, trees have identification signage. “Dr. Libby’s dream was to have two species of every NH tree on the property. The trail is a way to honor his wishes, with many old and spectacular species,” Alana explains. What is Alana’s personal hope and dream for the Libby Museum? Her eyes light up as she shares, “I
want to have a steamboat like the one Dr. Libby had (‘The Mohawk’).” She gazes from the front door to the sparkling lake directly across the road as she explains, “I would love for the museum to have a boat like his, with the canopy. It would be charming and a strong visitor attraction. After all, we do have a dock…” she trails off as she dreams of future plans. Those plans include speakers and programs for children, an exhibit section in the museum featuring New England photographers and artists (a dream that is becoming a reality with some wonderful exhibits planned for this summer and fall) and more ideas she has brewing. Being inclusive to all is what makes Alana a perfect match for the Libby Museum. She welcomes ideas and says people have called or stopped by to chat and share great ideas. (One idea has become a reality and will see School of Forest expert Chris Russell teaching a weeklong course in outdoor
skills for ages 11 to 14. “It is a five-day course, and was the suggestion of an area resident,” Alana explains. “There aren’t many programs for kids in that age group, and we hope people will sign up their kids. It will be August 15 to 19.” As we browse the collection, we stop to admire a display of old photos of Dr. Libby, Mrs. Libby and their friends. My favorite is a large black-and-white photograph of the Libby’s sitting in easy chairs on the deck of their steamboat. Mrs. Libby wearing a jaunty little hat and Dr. Libby wears gentlemanly boating attire. His dark eyes can just be seen in an almost side view, and one can imagine their conversation as they discuss the museum, the family, books they are reading…and life on the lake. If you want a memorable experience, the Libby Museum is the place to go. It will amaze and delight with its vast, unusual collection of objects from all over the world. And maybe, like me, you will fall in love with Dr. Libby as well. His vision to share this collection with others has given us a museum among museums. I think he would approve of Alana to watch over his collection and I think Mrs. Libby would approve as well. The Libby Museum is open from June 1 to Sept. 1; hours are Tues. Through Sat., 10am to 4pm, and Sundays from noon to 4 pm (Closed Mondays). After Sept. 1 it is open weekends until Columbus Day. Call 603-569-1035 for information.

Jeff Warner performs tavern songs, banjo tunes, 18th-century New England hymns, sailor songs, and humorous stories about traditional singers and their songs.

June 19, 2017 • Old Home Days Continued from page 31 cannot wrap the entire boat with plastic or duct tape. The crew compartment cannot be enclosed so as to interfere with escape in the event of capsize or sinking. Decorations are encouraged but should not affect structural strength or buoyancy. Propulsion (what makes the boat move around in the water) can be from paddles, oars, or sheer muscle power. The oars are not part of the boat proper and do not need to be constructed of cardboard. No motors, push starts or help from anyone outside of crew on boats allowed! All participants must wear Coast Guard approved life preservers. Any boats that may by chance meet their demise will be removed in its entirety from the water by its crew and pit team and may be helped by any bystanders who may take pity upon them. All crafts, sunken or otherwise, must be removed from the premises at the end of race. Awards for Speed, Team Spirit and the Titanic Award (most Dramatic sinking) will be given following the race. If you do not wish to compete, you are encouraged to be a spectator! It is a great opportunity to take photos and have an entertaining time with friends. The fun continues Saturday at the Tuftonboro Central School gym, as wildlife encounters will host interactive animal shows at 4:30 and 5:30 pm. The shows promise to be interactive and as “hands-on” as safety and permits allow. The encounters will offer fun for
all ages! After a full day of activities, who wants to cook? A Baked Chicken Dinner, complete with salads, rolls, iced tea, lemonade and desserts will be offered from 5:30 to 7:30 pm at Tuftonboro Central School’s Dining Room (205 Middle Road, Rte. 109A). The cost is $5 per plate, and to-go boxes will be available. On Sunday, August 27, have some fun and learn a little about nature. At 12:30 pm join the Tuftonboro Conservation Commission for a short hike around Central Park, next to the Central Fire Station, and collect a few things from a scavenger hunt list of common, natural items. Look for some hidden treasure along the way. Prizes will be awarded for completing the list and the accuracy of descriptions. Some prizes will be hidden along the trail for kids to find during the hunt. After the scavenger hunt, join in the fun at the annual town picnic at Central Park, at 1 pm. Hamburgers, hot dogs and beverages will be provided. Please bring a Potluck Dish to share and a chair or blanket. Field games, a bounce house, and a Pie Eating Contest will add to the festivities along with live music by local musicians, including Mark Dearborn and Brian Hastings. Historically, old home days were offered to communities as a chance to return to one’s hometown. People came back, reconnected to childhood friends and family and participated in all sorts of fun games and gatherings. Today the same holds true, as Old Home Days are a way to make new friends, mingle with old friends, build community spirit, eat, drink, and be merry,
look, listen, and learn, walk, run, and paddle! As part of the community involvement, the fifth grade at Tuftonboro School participated in a logo design contest held by the Old Home Day Committee. The winning design by Trevor de Haven was used to create limited-edition tote bags to commemorate the event. The tote bags are currently for sale at the Tuftonboro Town Offices; be sure to get yours before they are gone.

Squam Lakes Association to Lead Climate Change Hike in Belknap Woods Join the Squam Lakes Association (SLA) on Friday, June 23 from 10 am to noon for a guided hike through Belknap Woods. During this hike, SLA conservation intern Riley Harris will help participants explore the potential impacts climate change will have on local ecology. The information provided will be directed towards children ages 10 and up, but anyone wishing to learn and participate in a discussion about the subject is welcome. The program will take off from the Belknap Woods trailhead, located off Route 25B in Center Harbor. Climate shifts and changing weather patterns have already impacted the ecological health of New Hampshire. According to the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES), average temperatures in the Northeast have already increased by more than 1.8°F from pre-industrial levels. Rising temperatures drive major changes and challenges in populations of tree, pest, and bird species across the state. For example, a changing climate impacts many species statewide, including the threatened common loon, sugar maple, and moose.
While hiking through Belknap Woods, Riley will provide a brief introduction to the science and history of climate change. Hikers will also identify multiple tree species that are at risk of becoming endangered in the region. Challenges to pest and bird species within New Hampshire will also be discussed. Participants will leave with an understanding of the tangible impacts climate change will have on local ecology, as well as a sense of excitement and desire to be part of the solution. For more information, or to sign up for this Adventure Ecology Program, visit the SLA website (squamlakes. org), or contact the SLA directly at 603-968-7336. The SLA offers more Adventure Ecology trips each summer. Every Friday from June 16 through August 18, free programs are open to the public and cover a variety of nature and conservation related topics. The Adventure Ecology programs are presented by the Squam Conservation interns, who spend their summers on Squam performing important conservation work in support of the Association’s mission.

Loon Preservation Committee Urges the Public to Give Nesting Loons Space The Loon Preservation Committee (LPC) recorded its first pair of nesting loons this year on May 11. Since then, close to 60 loon pairs have begun to incubate eggs, with more expected in the next week. The peak time for loons to start nesting is usually in early June, followed by a four-week incubation period. This was the fifth wettest May on record in New Hampshire, and water levels are still high on some lakes, so nesting has been delayed in some areas. If traditional nesting sites are under water, a pair of loons may use an alternate site instead, making it even more critical to give them the space they need to nest successfully. The peak of hatch of loon chicks generally occurs around the fourth of July holiday and loon pairs on nests or with chicks are vulnerable to disturbance as human activities on the lakes increase. A couple of simple One of the first loon nests of the 2017 season was recorded on Bolster Pond in precautions can help ensure a good Sullivan, NH.

being displaced from natural sites by shoreline development or recreational activity on the lakes. Of the 208 nesting pairs, close to half were protected by signs and rope lines, and 45 percent of the chicks hatched came from these protected nest sites. Even with this level of management, LPC biologists recorded 112 failed nests, the highest number of nest failures on record. However, overall reproductive success was 0.50 (chicks surviving per territorial pair), which is slightly above the minimum needed to maintain the loon population over the long term. Loons are a threatened species in New Hampshire and are protected by state and federal laws from hunting or harassment. If you see a sick or injured loon, please call the Loon Preservation Committee (603-476-5666) or if you observe harassment of loons, please contact the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department (603-271-3361) or Marine Patrol (603-293-2037) for assistance. The Loon Preservation Committee monitors loons throughout the state as part of its mission to restore and maintain a healthy population of loons in New Hampshire; to monitor the health and productivity of loon populations as sentinels of environmental quality; and to promote a greater understanding of loons and the natural world. To learn more about loons in New Hampshire, please visit the Loon Preservation Committee at www.loon.org or call the Loon Preservation Committee at (603) 476-LOON (5666).

LRGHealthcare Golf Classic For the ninth year, Bank of New Hampshire has signed on as the $10,000 Presenting Sponsor of the LRGHealthcare Golf Classic. The August 14 tournament will take place at Laconia Country Club in Laconia. Golfers will participate in a scramble format, choosing to golf in either the morning or afternoon round (shotgun starts at 8:30 am and 2 pm.) A meal, gifts, and prizes will follow each flight for the participants. Over the years the tournament has raised more than $1,056,000 to benefit patients at LRGHealthcare. Proceeds from the 2017 Golf Classic will be designated for much-needed renovations to the Emergency Department at Lakes Region General Hospital. “Bank of New Hampshire is proud to continue to support LRGHealthcare and the renovations for the Emergency Department,” stated Paul Falvey, President and CEO for Bank of New Hampshire. “Upgrades to the Emergency Department are critical to ensuring that patients have access to quality and immediate services in their road to recovery and wellness.” “On behalf of the LRGHealthcare Board of Trustees, staff, and patients, I’d like to extend my sincere thanks to Paul Falvey and everyone at Bank of New Hampshire for their longtime support of the LRGHealthcare Golf Classic,” states Kevin Donovan, LRGHealthcare President and CEO. “We look forward to welcoming many of our community and hospital partners to New Hampshire’s most beautiful
golf course on August 14, and there is still space available for anyone who might like to join in on a great day for a great cause!” Several sponsors have already joined Bank of New Hampshire in supporting this event, including Gold Sponsor DiGiorgio Associates Inc./ Monitor Builders Inc.; Silver Sponsors Cross Insurance Agency and KeyBank Capital Markets; Driving Range Sponsor MetroCast Business Services; Golf Ball Sponsor Martin Technical Services LLC; Bronze Sponsors Franklin Savings Bank and Tufts Health Freedom Plan; Cart Sposors CynergisTek (formerly Auxilio) and Giguere Electric, Inc.; and Corporate Sponsors Bay Point Financial, LLC, Daniels Electric Corporation, Electric Connection, Golden View Health Care Center, Jackson Lewis P.C., MB Tractor & Equipment, Melcher & Prescott Insurance, Meredith Village Savings Bank, and Prism Healthcare Partners LTD.

Volunteers Clean up Meredith Bay It’s clear that Lakes Regioners believe in keeping the lake waters clean. On Saturday, June 3, the Meredith Rotary Club was joined by members of Dive Winnipesaukee, spouses, and volunteers to clean up Meredith Bay as the summer season begins. “While we always find cans, bottles and other debris in the lake, we also find some rather unusual items,” according to Bob Davis, Chairman of the Environmental Committee. “This year we found a single snow-ski, a ladies high-heeled shoe, the cover
from a Polaris machine, an anchor, four fishing rods, and a two-way radio!” The volunteers were aided in their efforts by community businesses that provided coffee, water, donuts and sandwiches. Dunkin’ Donuts, Hannaford, Walmart, Sub-Crazy Sandwiches and Subway were instrumental in helping to keep up everyone’s spirits with delicious donations. Mike Faller, of the Town of Meredith, also lent a hand by providing trash bags and a town truck to remove the debris.
