It’s Strawberry Season at Your Local Farm! By Sarah Wright I love strawberries, as most people do. Strawberry shortcake is a favorite for many, and strawberries are usually combined with rhubarb for tasty pies. I also enjoy strawberries on cheesecake, or just simply sliced on top of vanilla ice cream. The berries are so delicious, and with potassium and vitamin C, they also add some nutrition to your dessert. However, strawberries have a short picking season in New Hampshire, and if you blink you might miss them! The picking season typically runs from midJune until early July, depending on Mother Nature. (The strawberries in my garden will probably turn red by the end of June, but I have to race the chipmunks to get to them first.) I find it’s easier (and makes for a fun day) to visit a local farm to pick strawberries. But farmers also have obstacles to face when it comes to strawberries. As you might have noticed, there aren’t nearly as many pick-yourown strawberry places as there are for raspberries and blueberries. When I spoke to Giff Burnap at Butternut Farm in Farmington, he explained why. “Strawberries demand a lot from the soil and can
wear it out if the grower doesn’t have enough land to rotate new beds onto,” he says. “Pests and weeds are also a constant battle.” Apparently, growers either run out of viable ground or just get tired of growing strawberries. I guess the fact that they often droop and lie on the ground like mine do, make them more attractive to pests. Most local farms sell strawberries

in their farm stands, even if they don’t grow enough to offer the pick-your-own option. If you do visit one of the pick-your-own locations, plan to go early in the day, especially if you want larger berries (although some claim that the smaller ones are more flavorful). You’ll want to look for full, firm, completely red berries. Bringing your own container is also a good
idea, and get the kids involved. It’s a great activity for them, even if more strawberries end up in their mouths than in the container! Beans and Greens Farm at 245 Intervale Road in Gilford is looking forward to their pick-your-own strawberry season. They’re hoping for a long picking period, like they had last year (if Mother Nature is feeling generous again), and large, flavorful berries. Strawberry pickers will be taken out to the field on a fun hay ride. If you’d like to skip the work and go right to the eating part, there will also be quarts of already-picked strawberries for sale in the farm stand. The date has not yet been set for pick-your-own to begin, so call 293-2853 for the latest information. Veggies Galore & More at 501 North Barnstead Road in Center Barnstead will be available for picking seven days a week, if possible. Please call 387-7539 before arriving, as picking times can vary from day to day. Bring your own containers. They will be weighed before you pick, so that the weight can be subtracted from the total.

An Artist’s Life ~ Lamb & Lion Studio By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper Artwork by Janina Lamb The colors catch your eye. Deep purples, dark reds, twinkling stars seemingly thrown across the inky blue/black night sky. A line of gold trim running up a velvety sleeve, a background that fades into a mysterious, misty distance. Women in long gowns with puffed sleeves, sweet smiles or maybe a little pout or raised eyebrow defining their expressions, while the men sport Shakespearean garb. These are the illustrations and colors that inhabit the world of Janina Lamb, a multi-talented artist who lives and works in the Sandwich/Tamworth, New Hampshire area. Janina would be the first to modestly tell you she does not have much of an interesting story; anyone who has seen her beautiful, highly creative illustrations would beg to differ. Surely someone who can capture the nuances and the essence of a variety of subjects in her illustrations is a person with an interesting story. “I was born and spent the first 12 years of my life in Washington, DC,”

The farm stand is open daily, selling already-picked berries, buttermilk biscuits, and homemade jams. Pickyour-own fields are open every day, but hours vary due to ripening. Butternut Farm at 195 Meaderboro Road in Farmington is expecting a great strawberry season this year. They’ve been working hard on renewing their strawberry beds, adding different varieties to increase the availability and quality of the fruit this year. With seven different varieties to pick, you can become a true strawberry connoisseur! Call 335-4705. The farm is estimating pick-yourown strawberries to begin about June 14. Although they sell homemade
Janina says. “My father was in the Peace Corps, and when I was about 12 we moved to Malaysia.” Janina spent a year in that country before starting boarding school in England. After high school she traveled extensively; even “overland” as she says, to Asia at a time when travel to
pies and other specialty items in their farm stand, already picked fruit is not available, so get your containers ready! Butternut Farm is generally open Tuesday through Sunday, but call 603-335-4705 for the latest picking conditions before you head over. You can also visit www.butternutfarm.net for more information about the farm and their other pick-your-own crops. When you go strawberry picking, be sure to keep in mind that it gets hot out in the strawberry patch. Don’t forget to hydrate, and wear sunscreen or a sun hat to make yourself more comfortable. Try to pick a cloudy day, and your strawberries might even last longer. Also, if you have bad knees, you may want to bring a kneeling pad. Remember that it’ll all be worth it when you’re enjoying those juicy, sweet strawberries!
the area was certainly exotic, but a lot less risky than such a trip would be today. “It was a time of transition,” she reflects, “and full of adventures.” This conjures up the image of exotic
countries, beautiful, lush landscapes— just the sort of destination a young woman with an artist’s eye would love to explore. After returning to the United States, Janina had her first child and she and her husband moved to Sandwich, New Hampshire. While the remote little town might seem a strange choice for a world traveler such as Janina, she says they came to Sandwich because her husband’s family was originally from the area. “I love it here,” she says. “I raised my kids in Sandwich, and I have been here a long time. It is sort of a hideaway.” Lest one think of the artist as a recluse, that could not be further from the truth. “When I want to socialize, all I have to do is go down to Tamworth and I’ll be sure to meet people I know,” Janina says. With a large body of work under her belt, it might be assumed Janina was

Page 6 • Artist Continued from page 5 schooled in the most prestigious of art schools. Laughing, she explains, “I went to school for art for a brief time, but really it’s just something I have always done. My most profound art teacher was someone I took lessons from when I was about 10 or 11 years old. It was a Saturday morning art class, and the teacher got me beyond the point where a lot of kids give up on art. He taught me to really see and to draw.” Unlike some artists who scorn the digital age, Janina makes use of everything and welcomes the computer world with open arms. “There is a sensual quality to drawing
June 20, 2016 on paper, but I do love making art on a computer because it is so freeing. Using such programs as Photoshop, you can try anything without wrecking it and having to start over. You can move things around or make multiple versions of something. But you have to have a strong sense of what you are going for if you use a computer to generate artwork.” If you live in the Lakes Region, you may have seen Janina’s work without even realizing it. Some years ago, she did an illustrated poster of Squam Lake. She did many illustrations for a business now called the White Mountain Puzzle Company. Earlier, they hired illustrators to do maps of various towns, and it required skill and the ability to draw detailed work.

“The first one I did was of the Mount Washington Valley,” Janina recalls. “The maps each took a long time to do; I would go to the town, take photos of buildings and even hand draw the business logos on the maps.” In about 1990, Janina started her own business called Lamb & Lion Studio. In the pre-computer days, she did many black-and-white illustrations and handdrawn posters. “Then I got the idea that I could have some of them shrunk down to notecard size,” she says. “It was my main business; I also designed bumper stickers.” In about 2007, the Barnstormers Theatre in Tamworth had Janina do a booklet for a fundraising campaign. The following year, they asked her to do all their promotional material, which included illustrations for each play. The illustrations, usually a set of six or eight, represent the summer season of plays at the theatre. The illustrations were used for the season’s brochure, on the print marketing poster, the website and other places. The artwork shows the range of Janina’s artistic talent. With theatrical subject matter as diverse as Private Lives by Noel Coward to Brigadoon by Lerner and Lowe, Janina created art for each play that was vibrant and infused with her special illustrative style and colors. As well as play illustrations for the Barnstormers, Janina worked for some time on posters for the Sandwicharea theatrical group, Advice To The Players. The group performs mostly Shakespearean works and Janina’s art promoted, in her charming style, a variety of plays. On the Lamb & Lion website, Janina offers a section on theatre posters, most for Advice To The Players. The posters are wonderful works of art; for example, the leering, jeering pirate in The Pirates of Penzance is brought to life with the skillful use of Janina’s black-and-white illustration…with just one color – a bright red – to add vibrancy.
Shakespeare’s As You Like It is a lighthearted, almost comic styled poster with bright colors and a playful style that pulls the viewer in to almost tell a story…but leaves one wanting more. Thus far this year, Janina has been working mostly on freelance projects. She is a skilled website designer and she consults with businesses for branding and printed business materials. She says she has her sights set on an evolution of the original Lamb & Lion Studio into a new business and she is in the process of figuring out how it will work. While that might sound vague, Janina has many ideas in mind for what the business will be. “If people are interested, they can sign up to join my email list on my website and if they want to see my illustrations, there are many examples at www.lamblionstudio.com,” she adds. With her five children now grown, and all doing interesting things with their lives, Janina has time to map out her future plans. “I spent a lot of years raising my kids,” she says. While she would not trade those years for the world, now is the time to see where her creativity leads her. Janina loves to work with clients on new projects and direct them in ways that will benefit their business. But it is the quiet times, alone in the studio, working on creative projects, with colors and drawings and computer graphics, which are happy moments as well. The quiet of the rural life is beneficial to the creative process. “I am in gleeful happiness when I am alone,” she says. That is when the colors swirl, the ideas flow and Janina, the artist who is always looking ahead to the next creative project, is at her best. Visit www.lamblionstudio.com to see examples of Janina’s work and to learn more about her illustrations and design work.

Great Waters Music Festival Presents Cheryl Wheeler One minute her stories will have you rolling in the aisles. The next minute the songs will leave tears in your eyes, as Cheryl Wheeler takes you on an emotional roller coaster ride, Friday, June 24, at Anderson Hall, 205 South Main Street in Wolfeboro, presented by Great Waters Music Festival. The program will begin at 7:30 pm. Cheryl Wheeler is a singer-songwriter of contemporary folk music. From Timonium, Maryland, she is currently based in New England. Such artists as Bette Midler, Kenny Loggins, Dan Seals, Kathy Mattea, Garth Brooks and Peter, Paul and Mary have covered Cheryl’s songs. Called a “curmudgeon” by many critics, Cheryl Wheeler admits, “there is a certain irascible quality about me.” Maybe that is why her music speaks to everybody’s twin selves: the good and the bad, the sensitive and the ugly, the warm and the cutting. Audiences appreciate both the lovely sentimentality of her lyrics and the hilarious bite of her songs. She is a gifted and openhearted songwriter, a poet and a comic. Wheeler tours extensively and her concerts include, in addition to her songs, comic routines as well as serious discussions. Although most of her tours are solo, she has toured with Kenny White, who has produced a number of her albums and often opens for her. She has also toured with the Christine Lavin inspired tour On a Winter’s Night and has appeared occasionally as part of the Four Bitchin’ Babes. She
has also appeared with Shawn Colvin and Mary Chapin Carpenter. Before moving to New England, Cheryl performed at venues in and around Baltimore and Washington, DC. Cheryl’s songs are often emotional portraits of people. From her songs you can get glimpses of her childhood, her adulthood and her relationships. She is a natural storyteller and comedienne and she has released albums on several major labels, including Capitol and Philo, and her most recent recordings are on Rounder Records as well as her own recording label, Dias Music. When Jonathan Edwards’s bass player became unavailable, he asked Cheryl to tour with him. Her albums include Half a Book, Circle and Arrows, Sylvia Hotel, Different Stripes, Defying

Yester year Winnipesaukee: Birthplace of Intercollegiate Sport By Barbara Neville Wilson The 151st running of “The Race” occurred Sunday, June 12, on the Thames River in New London, CT. The Yale heavyweight 8 was declared victor, beating the Harvard 8, but results were in dispute at press time. Yale’s “win” was marred by the never-in-history occurrence of the Harvard boat sinking in 20 mph winds. No matter how the 2016 race is
decided, this fact will never be disputed. “The Race” is universally accepted as the granddaddy of all intercollegiate sports competition, tracing its birth to Center Harbor on Lake Winnipesaukee. The year was 1852 and rowing was just evolving from a gentleman’s leisure activity to a fullblown sport at United State colleges. New Haven’s Yale University was the proud owner of two shells, the Shawmut and the Undine, while

Harvard claimed only a single craft, the Oneida. New Hampshire’s lakes and mountains was a fledgling summer destination, and rowing enthusiast James Whiton’s father was a director on the Boston, Concord & Montreal Railroad (BC&M). He and other managers saw a means to introduce thousands of tourists to the beauties of central New Hampshire—and to BC&M’s monopoly on rail transport offered
from Boston to the Weirs and on to the Whites via Plymouth. Whiton’s son, bowman James Whiton (Yale ’53) was instrumental in issuing a challenge to Harvard “to test the superiority of the oarsmen of the two colleges” and the rush was on to transport rowing teams, thousands of fans and equipment for preparation, races and eight days of festivities sponsored by the BC&M • Yesteryear Continued on page 13

June 20, 2016 • Yesteryear Continued from page 12 on Lake Winnipesaukee and along its rail path. Today’s sleek racing shells would look foreign to participants of the 1852 race. Whereas the modern shell for eight rowers measure 60 feet and weigh 200 pounds, outriggers and sliding seats were still future innovations in 1852, and Harvard’s Oneida was described in The Story of the Harvard Yale Boat Race 1852-1912 by James Wellman and Dr. Walter B. Peet as “thirty-seven feet long, lap-streak built, heavy, quite low in the water, with no shear, and with a straight stem. Her width was about three feet and a half in the widest part, and she tapered gradually toward bow and stern. She was floored halfway up to the gunwale with wooden strips, and had a hardwood grating in each end. These gratings were kept unpainted and oiled; and, although used by the bow-oar sometimes to walk on in using his boat-hook and in setting and striking colors, they were the principal vanity of the boat…the boat had plain, flat, wooden t-hole-pins fitted into the gunwale. Her oars were of white ash and ranged from 13 feet, six inches long in the waist to 12 feet at bow and stern. A plain bar of hard wood served for stretcher, and each seat had a baize-covered cushion…The captain’s gig of a man-of-war will give a very good idea of her general fittings.” A New York Tribune correspondent at the race in Center Harbor described it as “quite a model of fitness and beauty”! Perhaps in a bid to encourage race fans to visit more than Winnipesaukee, the team members were housed at the Pemigewasset House in Plymouth, and both teams
enjoyed mutual socials before the big race. A reporter from The New York Tribune reported, “The students of the Yale and Harvard boat-clubs met each other in the depot hall at Concord, where mutual introductions took place, and they proceeded together to Weirs. Here the ‘Lady of the Lake’ was in waiting to convey them to Center Harbor, where they arrived after a delightful trip of an hour and a half, just in time for a splendid dinner at the Center House. Some idea of the immense capacity of these boats may be gained from the fact that the captain requested the passengers not to seat themselves all on one side of the boat…. The students have free passage in her to any part of the lake, and indeed their whole

trip, as we understand, was free, the expenses being defrayed principally, we understand, by the Boston and Montreal Railroad Company.” Oarsmen arrived early, but not, apparently, for race preparation. The Yale team was reported to spend the day fishing, and historian Thomas C. Mendenhall reported in his Harvard Yale Boat Race 18521924 that the “Harvard’s practiced only occasionally for ‘fear of blistering their hands” and Yale’s biggest sacrifice was “abstaining from pastry that day.” Training regimes are not the only aspect of intercollegiate sport that
has evolved in succeeding centuries, the crew teams had no coaches, and the Tribune reported that at the start of the first “scrub” race, “betting ran quite high.” The “grand regatta,” went off in the late afternoon. According to the Tribune, onlookers lined the shore and pleasure skiff cheered progress along the course. The boats “started at the distance of about two miles from shore and ran directly for the wharf. A large boat, with the band on board, was stationed midway upon the lake and…played some very fine airs for the benefit of the lookers-on, for it evidently attracted no attention from the oarsmen, who were altogether too busily occupied.” Despite its five-seat breaking his oar mid-race, Harvard’s Oneida won the race, perhaps by two lengths or perhaps by four…reports vary. The Crimson was awarded a pair of silver-ornamented black walnut oars by the Deciding Committee whose members included New Hampshire’s Franklin Pierce, who was inaugurated United States president the next year. “The Race” has now run 151 times—taking respite during war and at other odd moments, but never again as official intercollegiate competition on Lake Winnipesaukee. Although the tourism-promoting Lakes Association sponsored a commemorative race and celebration in 1952, it has only been in more recent years than Lakes Region rowing has been revived by high school academies like Brewster in Wolfeboro and Proctor in Andover, and the Lake Sunapee and Winnipesaukee Rowing Clubs.

The New Hampshire Boat Museum in Wolfeboro has the perfect venue to do so at the New England Vintage Boat Auction to be held Saturday, July 16 on the museum grounds starting at 10 am. The Boat Museum is actively seeking consignments and donations for the auction, which is the museum’s largest fundraiser of the year. A wide variety of boats, as well as boat or lake-related items, are sold each year. And new this year, the museum will be auctioning a select number of vintage and antique cars. The auction draws hundreds of bidders, making it a great way to sell or purchase a boat or car.

To help effectively sell your boat, the museum has online auction listings at www.nhbm.org with photos and detailed descriptions. The sooner your item is listed, the more chance you will have of selling your boat or car. Individuals are encouraged to contact the museum early to finalize their consignment or donation. In addition to the online preview, the public may view auction items on Friday, July 15, from noon to 5 pm and Saturday, July 16, from 8 to 10 am. Buyers are encouraged to pre-register for the auction at www.nhbm.org to
save time the morning of the auction. A typical selection of boats the museum seeks for auction includes wooden, vintage or classic, fiberglass, canoes, sailboats and kayaks in conditions ranging from excellent to good. The museum also sells small items, such as outboard motors and boating accessories. In addition, items including rustic camp items or lake memorabilia, water skis, camp tables, chairs, stools, lamps, decoys, as well as decorative items such

as lake prints and watercolors are sold at the auction, which has something for everyone. While the museum accepts consignments, they are also seeking donations, which are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. The donor receives a tax credit, while the proceeds from the sale benefit the Boat Museum and their education programs and exhibits. Jack McLaughlin, Auction Chair, said, “The Vintage Boat Auction is a great place for those who want to sell their boats, boating items and vintage cars to a large group of interested buyers from throughout the northeast at a good price. In addition, whether consigning or donating, you will be

Outstanding NH Women
Maude Ferguson – NH’s First Female Legislator By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper Photo courtesy Bristol Historical Society There she was, her gentle but determined smile and her beautiful turn-of-the-century dress catching my eye. I was browsing the many old photos and memorabilia at the Bristol Historical Society last summer when a photograph of a particularly pretty young woman caught my eye. “Who is that woman?” I asked Lucille Keegan, the Society’s president. She told me it was Maude Ferguson, a Bristol resident who held the distinction of being the first woman in the NH Legislature. Although I grew up in Bristol, I never heard of Maude. She was not Mrs. Ferguson or Madame Legislator to me; from the moment I saw the young woman in the photo, leaning casually against an ornate wicker chair, to me she was Maude. I never forgot Maude and I knew I wanted to write more about her, but as I began to look for information, there was not much out there. A call to the town’s library elicited some help; although they had not heard of Maude, they were able to find mentions of her in local historical materials. It is not difficult to understand why she is unknown to many in our day and age. She was born in 1883, so long ago that anyone who might have known

her also is deceased. But Maude, who set an example of all a woman with determination could accomplish, was unique in her day and her achievements were many. Her name was actually Edna Maude Ferguson, although she went by E. Maude and most likely few called her by her first name. She was born to Edgar and Addie Fowler in August of 1883 in Danvers, Massachusetts. Certainly Maude must have had her share of suitors if early photographs are anything to go by.

• Maude Continued from page 25 Maude married Samuel Ferguson in 1912; they resided in Bristol (in the Newfound Lake area). What were Maude’s ties to Bristol? When Maude was just one year of age, her father died; her mother, Addie, moved to Bristol with the young Maude. In those days, Bristol, New Hampshire was a long way from Danvers, Massachusetts. Why would Addie relocate to such a quiet area? Maude’s maternal grandfather was Otis Kilton Bucklin, a successful Bristol-area businessman. Otis at one time ran a hotel in nearby Grafton and later built and operated Brown’s Hotel in Bristol. He owned a carriage factory, also in Bristol and was a fruit grower with about 2,300 apple trees. He owned over five farms and also maintained property in Florida. It can be assumed that, upon the death of her husband, Maude’s mother moved to Bristol to live with her family. It was perhaps the success of her grandfather in business that provided the means for Maude to attend good schools and college. (Her mother later remarried and became the wife of Dr. George H. Calley and the couple
continued to reside in the Bristol area.) But what did Maude do before she married and settled into life as a housewife in Bristol, eventually becoming NH’s first female Legislator? An early newspaper clipping tells us a Boston entertainment bureau booked Maude often; she was one of the company’s most successful elocutionists. The clipping states that Maude worked as an elocutionist at her alma mater, Tilton School, at New Hampton Institute and also at Maryland College. We can only guess at Maude’s life as a married woman in a small town. She was well educated and intelligent. It seems she took an active role in local goings on: she was the chairperson of the Bristol Republican Women’s Committee, and she served on the Bristol Board of Education. Maude became a representative to the NH House of Representative and was given positions on the revision of statutes and the state library. She served as chairman of the joint committee on State Library and in her second term as representative in 1929, she was chairman of the committee on Normal School, a member of the Judiciary Committee, clerk of the Grafton County delegation and the

pre-legislative caucus; she was the first woman to serve on the Judiciary Committee. Politics must have agreed with Maude, because she rolled up her elegant sleeves and jumped into the race for the Republican nomination for state senator in the fifth district. She beat out two male candidates and was the first woman to serve in the New Hampshire senate. It is said her experience and interest in politics led her to think of studying law. It is intriguing to think of Maude, a woman from a small rural town, doing so very well in a man’s world. There is no information on her study of law, but she surely would have made a good lawyer, due to her elocution skills and grasp of politics. For three years, Maude served as state chairperson of the Legal Status of Women of the NH League of Women Voters. She also was past grand matron of the Order of the Eastern Star and past president of the Bristol Woman’s Club, to name but a few of the offices she held. Maude passed away in 1932, and the entire Bristol community, as well as the state, mourned the loss of this amazing woman. It is a mark of her importance in the community that
when her funeral was held in Bristol, businesses were closed as a mark of respect. Flags were lowered to halfmast due to her position as senator. Tributes poured in from local groups, as well as from the NH Power Company, the NH Senate, NH Governor Winant and many others. Those who attended her funeral included state senators, Laconia’s mayor, state representatives, and more. How did Maude rise to such success? She was certainly liked and respected by her male political colleagues, no easy accomplishment in the 1920s and 1930s when men ruled every corner of the political and business world. What was it like for Maude, on her first day in the State House as she stepped forward to take up her duties? I can imagine her dressed fashionably yet quietly, perhaps in a stylish cotton or light silk dress, her dark hair framing her pretty face, a strand of long pearls around her neck. I like to think she was full of confidence that first day on the job, knowing her years of work as an elocutionist would turn heads when she started to speak. The work she did certainly turned heads and it helped open doors for women everywhere into the future.

Keeping Kids Safe in the Water
them, it’s better to avoid water wings, and air-filled swimsuits. Your child will sink if they deflate, and may give them (and you) a false sense of security. If you want to use a flotation device, buy a U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket. So how can you get your toddler used to the water? Although some parents might think it’s a good idea, you should never intentionally submerge any child under the age of three. Young children can quickly swallow large amounts of water. Instead, show your children how to blow bubbles in the water, so they will learn to get their faces wet without swallowing water. But what about those children who hate getting their faces wet? Practice at home by encouraging your child to put his or her head under the shower spray. Remember to be patient. Your child may be a fish one day and afraid of the water the next. Don’t force them into an activity that they don’t want to do. In most beginner swim lessons, the instructor will teach your child basics like blowing bubbles in the water and kicking while using a flotation device, eventually working up to submerging their heads, and floating on their backs. Games are often used to encourage children to practice these skills. When your child is older and learns skills like swimming

underwater and beginner strokes, it’s still important to keep an eye on them as they might overestimate their abilities. If possible, have them swim with a buddy. Discourage games that might put a child in danger like breath-holding contests. Remember, even a good swimmer can drown. And no matter how skilled a child may be, never trust them alone to supervise another, less-skilled child. If your child learned to swim in a pool, his or her skills don’t necessarily translate to

open water where there are changing temperatures and currents. Hopefully, the unthinkable won’t happen, but there may come a time when you can’t locate your child. If this happens, always check the water first. Every second counts if a child is in trouble. If you are swimming at a beach that doesn’t have a lifeguard on duty, make sure you have something with you that you can reach with or throw to someone who is drowning. Keep a cell phone close by in case you need to call 9-1-1. For those children and young adults who want to dive into the water from a dock or boat, check for depth and obstructions before diving. Better yet—go in feet first the first time to be sure. If you’re planning to spend the day boating or enjoying water skis or towable inflatables, every child should wear a life jacket, even if they know how to swim. Most boating fatalities occur from drowning. Parents and young adults should also abstain from drinking alcohol as it impairs your judgment, balance, and coordination on land and in the water. Summer is here, so let the fun at the lake begin! Wear your sunscreen, drink plenty of water, and most of all, stay safe.

Best Donuts in the Lakes Region...

By Sarah Wright The Lakes Region is a beautiful part of the state, and one of the biggest perks to the area is the abundance of beaches. It’s no wonder families flock to the area for vacations. Who wouldn’t want to spend a day, relaxing on the sand and enjoying the cool, fresh water? Although swimming at a lake is less hazardous than a swim in the ocean, safety is still paramount. Here is some information to keep your family safe this summer, so that everyone can have a fun time at the beach. Many parents wonder about when to sign their children up for swim lessons. Swimming is an extremely important skill that every child should learn. The American Association of Pediatrics recommends that parents hold off on formal swimming lessons until after their child’s fourth birthday, when he or she is developmentally able to learn the skills needed to stay afloat. Most towns around the Lakes Region offer swim lessons through their Parks and Recreation Department, and children typically start around age 4. For children under age 4, it’s advisable that you get them used to water as young as possible. While you should certainly hold a baby or young toddler in your arms while in the water, you should also be within arm’s reach to provide adequate supervision if those young children are just playing around the water. Yes, we live in the age of multi-tasking, but if your children are near water, then they should be the only thing on your mind. It’s a fact that small children can drown in as little as one inch of water. If you are with other adults, take turns watching the children in shifts. It’s obviously safer to swim in areas with a lifeguard present, but that doesn’t mean you can take your eyes off your child. Also teach your children to always let you know if they are going into the water so that you are alert and watching. Watch for large patches of plants in the water, or sharp rocks, and leave any wildlife, like ducks, alone. Although many parents use

Friends of the Wolfeboro Bandstand Announce Summer Concerts The Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand announce the summer season of concerts in every Saturday night in July and August in the bandstand in Cate Park. Concerts will take place from 7 to 9 pm in the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand, which is located on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee in downtown Wolfeboro. The concerts are free to the public, though a pass-the-bucket offering is taken at intermission for those who would like to support the Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand as they continue to bring free, quality entertainment to Wolfeboro each summer. The summer will kick off with a familiar group in the Lakes Region, as popular band Annie and the Orphans bring their unique sound to the bandstand. The band plays hits from the 50s, 60s and 70s along with highenergy rock and roll and has proven to be a favorite of locals for their selection of oldies. Annie and the Orphans will take the bandstand on Saturday, July 2. The second week of the concert series will feature a new band, as the Seldom Playrights make their debut in the bandstand. This band is a group of experienced musicians brought together by their love of old school country music. Attendees will hear the likes of Merle Haggard, George Jones, Buck Owens, Ray Price and Johnny Cash, among others. The show is Saturday, July 9. On Saturday, July 16, another local
favorite will return to the bandstand, as the Moose Mountain Jazz Band comes to Wolfeboro. The band plays traditional Dixieland Jazz and has wowed audiences with its skill, energy and enthusiasm for many years. The show will feature the hot jazz of the 20s, 30s and 40s, along with a little humor and history mixed in. The Mary Maguire Band has been a popular name on the local music scene and the group returns to the bandstand on Saturday, July 23. Maguire brings magnificent vocals and sure-fingered picking while the band provides solid rhythms that get audiences off their feet and dancing. This four-piece group weaves American roots of swing, western swing, folk and country in a unique performance. Another new band will be in Wolfeboro on Saturday, July 30, as By Request makes its bandstand debut. This diverse group of musicians from the New Hampshire seacoast is a rock/ pop/classic rock cover band, with each member bringing something unique to the table to set up a good time for everyone attending. The Carolyn Ramsay Band will be back in the bandstand on Saturday, Aug. 6. This local band has proven popular among audiences in the Lakes Region with its style of music that has roots in rock and folk. The band’s soulful style helps to paint the songs covered with their own brand of music. The sounds of the 1960s will be on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee on Saturday, Aug. 13, as 60s Invasion
makes its return to the bandstand. This show band it knows how to engage and entertain audiences with 60s nostalgia, comedy and great rock and roll. The mood turns a bit more classical on Saturday, Aug. 20, as the Strafford Wind Symphony comes to town. This band performs a variety of traditional music for wind ensembles as well as more contemporary pops pieces that audiences enjoy. The Freese Brothers Big Band will be in the bandstand on Saturday, Aug. 27. This 18-piece big band will bring a mix of classic swing pieces as well as top tunes from every decade since the 1940s. Expect Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, Count Basie and more to make appearances in the musical selections. The summer concert series will wrap
up on Saturday, Sept. 3, as Studio Two – The Beatles Tribute makes its inaugural appearance in the bandstand. Hailed as the best Beatles tribute band in New England, the group pays tribute to the band’s early years and recreates the band’s music, appearance, instruments and onstage banter. This year’s summer concert series is being dedicated in memory of Doug Cady, a founding member of the Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand and a longtime board president. Concerts are held each Saturday, weather permitting. If bad weather is threatening, a sign will be posted at the entrance to the park near the town docks and a notice will also be posted at wolfeborobandstand.org.

Yester year Vacationing at Lake Shore Park By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper With warmer weather upon us, those who love the Lakes Region are dreaming about the long, lazy days of summer. Many are booking vacation lodgings at cottages, hotels and private homes. Those who return summer after summer to Lake Shore Park in Gilford, New Hampshire, are returning to a place where memories have been made for decades. Many visitors and residents boast about vacationing or growing up at the spot off Route 11 (near Ellacoya State Park). The homes at the park aren’t giant estates – most are cottages and modest summer homes. Although some people live there year round, a number of people return summer after summer for family vacations. Many things make Lake Shore Park a favorite. It is the beauty of the area so near the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee. It may also be the fun of vacationing in a cottage park where “everyone knows everyone” and kids play together each summer. Historically, Lake Shore Park was once a wilderness area, much like the rest of the shoreline from Alton Bay to Gilford and Laconia. Here and there farms dotted the countryside, and resorts such as Ames Farm Inn, about a mile or so from Lake Shore Park, were a haven for summer tourists. When the railroad came to the area in the 1800s, it brought visitors who liked the idea of summering or vacationing on Lake Winnipesaukee. The railroad provided train stations at various spots in the West Alton/Gilford area. The Boston and Maine Railroad owned about 130 acres along this shore area. Before the railroad owned the land, it was the property of Richard Carr. Mr. Carr operated a farm on the spot, according to The Gunstock Parish, A History of Gilford, New Hampshire by Adair D. Mulligan. Eventually Carr sold his property to the Lake Shore Railroad; the company had plans to make a grand resort area on the shores of the lake. Sparing no expense, the railroad made Lake Shore Park a great place for their employees to rest and relax. They added a beautiful pavilion, a bowling alley and other public areas for the enjoyment of guests. Best of all, was a large inn where guests could relax during a summertime stay. Vacationers were housed at the
Lake Shore Inn, which was situated at the entrance of the park. The inn, according to The Gunstock Parish by Adair D. Mulligan, was 2 1/2 stories tall and had room for about 35 guests. When it opened in 1891, the event was celebrated with a grand ball. Railroad employees and other vacationers enjoyed staying at the inn, but unfortunately the building burned in the early 1900s. However, there were plenty of other spots to stay if one wanted to vacation at Lake Shore Park. By the turn of the century, the spot was one of the biggest summer developments in the area. There were about 400 tent sites and many city folks loved the idea of roughing it on their summer visit to the Lakes Region. The railroad company wanted the resort to be accessible by water as well as by rail. To that end, the Maid of the Isles stopped at the park twice a day and the Lady of the Lake vessel stopped four times a day. Friends and family that lived on the other side of Winnipesaukee could catch a ride by boat and spend the day with those staying at the park. Park residents could enjoy a refreshing and cooling ride on the lake with stops at other villages and towns. The Lake Shore Park Pavilion was the centerpiece of the site and in the early days, it must have been quite a place for socializing. The big pavilion was used for staging plays and concerts for summer guests. Fireworks lit up the night sky on the 4th of July and fun clam chowder suppers were served up during the summer. Music was a big part of nightlife at the park. Live bands played at the pavilion in the mid 1900s and a fun, not-very-serious Lake Shore Park beauty contest was held at the site. From a document titled Lake Shore
The Loon Center & Markus Wildlife Sanctuary
Railroad: The First Forty Years, it was written, “A typical stage production at the park, the three act comic drama ‘A Scrap of Paper’ took place on August 21, 1891. It starred Belle Marshall Locke, wife of City Marshall Locke of Concord, NH.” The railroad company knew that many visitors who stayed at the park wanted to make it a permanent thing. Thus, it was decided that free lots would be offered to those who agreed to build a cottage (worth at least $300) on the land. This was a new idea at the time and might be looked upon as one of the area’s first subdivisions in the late 1800s, according to The Gunstock Parish. Eventually the railroad died out and the park was sold to the Jones family in 1922. They ran a restaurant at the former railroad depot. Later, the depot was used as a store. Campers at some point probably decided it would be beneficial and a lot more comfortable if their platform tent sites were altered to be cabins. It

meant putting up walls and a roof on the platforms, which the Jones’ agreed to. It can be assumed that vacationers were not looking for large, elaborate summer homes; just something warm and enclosed in case of rain. The Jones family owned the land the cabins sat upon and they had rules about upkeep. They offered a lot for vacationers, such as a store with baked goods for sale. In the late 1950s the Jones family sold the park. They had expanded the area and its recreational uses over the approximately 30 years they owned Lake Shore Park. The new owners added a marina, which was helpful for those who wanted to bring a boat to enhance their lake vacation. In the 1970s, cottage owners decided to come up with a proposal to purchase the property. The LSP Association d.b.a. Lake Shore Park was formed. In 1975 the association purchased Lake Shore Park. A program of activities at the park in the 1970s listed many innocent and fun pastimes for vacationers, such as Teen Dance, Softball, Prince and Princess Contest, A Long Swim, Bingo and a Book Mobile. The flyer also congratulated Miss Lake Shore Park, Janet Clemente. Vacationers also were reminded of a Covered Dish Supper in August! Surely those old railroad company executives would approve of such entertainments and activities to enhance summer vacations. Lake Shore Park is indeed still heavenly for those who come back to make the site their summer getaway.

Native, Invasive or Evolving? New Information on Algae In the summer of 2007, The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) issued an alert about an invasive algae “Didymosphenia geminata” also known as “rock snot” or “Didymo.” The algae had been found in the northern reaches of the Connecticut River as well as in the White River near Bethel, Vermont. Beyond New Hampshire, other similar blooms had been documented in rivers in Western Canada, Norway, New Zealand, and in other parts of the United States. Didymo is a freshwater species of diatom, which has the potential to “bloom” and form dense matted carpets of fibrous growths on the rocks linking streams and riverbeds. Not only does such a bloom detract from the aesthetics of a river, but also it can cause physical, biological, and chemical changes in the river, ultimately impacting the aquatic food web. The presence of this algal species in trophy trout led to the hypothesis that anglers and their gear was the primary vector of spread, namely the use of felt soled waders, which could harbor these tiny diatoms in a moist environment from river to river. As a result, for many years now, Didymo has been on many states’ watch list for prevention
Didymo and early detection. No reliable control or eradication methods were known or documented. A chain reaction of responses ensued after the global recognition of Didymo as an invasive species. Enhanced educational activities were implemented, new laws and quarantines were established, and a critical evaluation of waders was performed, leading to a recommendation to phase out the use of felt-soled waders and to switch
to other designs, which would pose a lower risk for harboring tag-along species. Industry also responded by providing alternatives to felt-soled waders, while outdoor outfitters, anglers, biologists, and others have set aside the sure-footed safety of felt in lieu of other more ecologically friendly options. Recent research by Dr. Max Bothwell suggests that the previous assumptions about Didymo and its spread may be incorrect. His new
data refute the notion that Didymo is a non-native, invasive species, based on data from sediment cores showing the presence of Didymo as far back as 10,000 years in some areas. Dr. Bothwell’s data show that these Didymo fossil records exist globally, and that in New Zealand and Western Canada, Didymo was present in streams in low number well before blooms of this species were documented. In his newest publication, Bothwell argues that blooms are caused by changes in environmental conditions, specifically by reduced levels of available phosphorus in streams. His hypothesis for this species is contrary to what most freshwater biologists commonly accept as fact; that the addition of nutrients leads to algal blooms, not the other way around. Didymo, however, appears to have a special adaptation of producing a stalk that allows it to regulate its depth in the water column, to optimize its ability to obtain low levels of phosphorus from the water. Much like a plant can extend its stalk to grow higher above neighboring plants to capitalize on sun exposure, Didymo secretes a stalk (which is viewed as the “bloom” material on • Algae Continued on page 34

• Algea Continued from page 32 river bottoms), perhaps for a very similar purpose, but for nutrient acquisition. Bothwell’s hypothesis is that Didymo may be present in normal algal communities in a stream when phosphorus is above a certain threshold, but when phosphorus concentrations dip unusually low, the alga can trigger stalk production resulting in what we consider a bloom. While the status of Didymo may be changing from that of an invasive species to one of a native

in environmental conditions, the risk of spread of other potentially problematic aquatic species has not changed. Despite the new information on Didymo, NHDES does continue to urge caution when using gear across a number of water bodies. There are other species that are certainly nonnative and invasive that could hitch a ride on felt soled waders or other recreational gear; therefore, care is needed in order to help protect New Hampshire’s natural aquatic resources. Jason Smith, Chief of the Inland Fisheries Division at the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department cautions that, “Although these recent findings suggest that Didymo is indigenous, this does not alleviate anglers and boaters’ of
their responsibility to help prevent the spread of other aquatic invasive species and pathogens that may cause disease in fish or other aquatic organisms. There are other aquatic invasive species and pathogens that are putting NH’s water resources at risk. The same recommended protocols of disinfecting and drying equipment should remain in place.” Whether it is an aquatic invasive alga, plant, animal or pathogen, NHDES strongly encourages anglers, boaters and other waterbased recreation enthusiasts employ the practice of “Clean, Drain, Dry” to ensure that their gear is free and clear of any potential invasive species or other contaminants. Specifically: CLEAN off any mud, plants, animals and algae from boats, waders, trailers and equipment. DRAIN your boat, bait buckets, bilges and other equipment away from the water body. DRY anything that comes into contact with the water. Any plants, animals and algae found during your inspection should be removed and disposed of away from a water body. For more information please contact Amy Smagula, NHDES Limnologist/Exotic Species Program Coordinator at Amy. Smagula@des.nh.gov or 271-2248.

Have you ever wondered why so many of us have look-alike gardens, great swaths of green lawns, that we curse after each heavy rain, and groupings of flowering shrubs we need to protect from deer? Further, we must protect the vegetable garden out back, and perennial gardens bordering the lawns.

Thomas Mickey, a retired professor of Communications Studies, lives and gardens in Rye, NH. He graduated from the Landscape Institute at Boston Architectural College, has been a Master Gardener for Rockingham Country since 1998, writes a gardening column, has a blog named AmericanGardening.net and is the author of four gardening books, including America’s Romance with the English Garden, which was named ‘best garden book of the year’ by the British magazine the Spectator.

June 20, 2016 • Loons Continued from page 35 pairs have begun to incubate eggs, with many more expected to begin in the next week or two. The peak time for loons to start nesting is usually in early June, followed by a four-week incubation period. The peak time for loon chicks to hatch generally occurs around the 4th of July, and loon pairs on nests or with chicks are vulnerable to disturbance as human activities, such as boating and fishing, on the lakes, increase. Here are some simple precautions will help ensure a good year for loons in New Hampshire: · Stay back at least 150 feet from a nesting loon, or more if the loon shows any signs of distress, such as craning its neck low over a nest. Loons may even appear to be injured or dead while in this head-down position, but it is simply a response to the close approach of people. · Should you inadvertently cause a loon to flush from the nest, leave the area immediately to let the loon return to incubate its eggs. Time off the nest leaves the eggs vulnerable to cooling, overheating, or predation. In 2015, LPC biologists recorded 211 pairs of nesting loons, an increase of three pairs from the previous year. Forty-two of those pairs nested on rafts—artificial islands that LPC floats to help loons cope with water level fluctuations, or being displaced from natural sites by shoreline development or recreational activity on the lakes.
Of the 211 nesting pairs, signs and rope lines protected, half, and over half of the chicks hatched came from these protected nest sites. Even with this level of management, LPC biologists recorded 79 failed nests, many of them due to human disturbance. Studies indicate that a minimum breeding success rate of 0.48 surviving chicks per loon pair is needed to maintain the loon population over the long term, but New Hampshire’s loons have achieved that level of breeding success in only four out of the last 10 years. 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 (476-5666) or if you observe harassment of loons, please contact the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department (2713361) or Marine Patrol (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 476LOON (5666.)
