A Fabulous Lakes Region 4 of July th
By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper Ask anyone and they will tell you the history of America’s beginnings lie in New England. The earliest battles for freedom were fought in this part of the country. Deep in the heart of New England, in the Lakes Region of NH, celebrating the Fourth of July is a big event and there are many activities for every age and interest. For a good, old-fashioned parade, head to Laconia for the annual Independence Day Parade held on July 4. The parade gathers and starts at Wyatt Park at 4:30 pm and makes its way through downtown Laconia. The parade ends at Opechee Park with vendors and activities and live music from 5:30 to 10 pm. Fireworks end the day with a great display at 10 pm. Call Laconia Parks and Recreation at 5245046 for updates and information. Weirs Beach is the place to be on July 3 when fireworks light up the sky at 11:59 pm. Before the fireworks, there is plenty to do in Weirs Beach in the hours leading up to the fireworks. There are many restaurants and shops and arcades, as well as the wonderful beach. (Fireworks are on the summer schedule on Friday evenings at 10 pm from July 8 through August 19 with a Labor Day weekend show of fireworks on Sun., September 4 at 10 pm. Visit www.weirsbeach.com for information.) The Newfound Lake area will be a
busy place. Studio Two, the Beatles Tribute Band, will perform in Kelley Park in downtown Bristol at 6:30 pm. The concert is free and the public is welcome. Weekly outdoor Kelley Park concerts take place on Thursday nights from July 7 to August 26. Fireworks take place on July 3 at dusk over Newfound Lake. (The rain date is July 9). Call the Tapply Thompson Community Center in Bristol for details at 744-2713. On July 4, there will be a Fourth of July parade in downtown Bristol starting at 10 am with the theme Newfound Super Heroes – Past and Present. Alton Bay is the place to be for great Fourth of July festivities. The Bay

area is alive with fun on July 2 with a bandstand concert at 7 pm in Alton Bay. Bring a chair and snacks to enjoy during the free concert or plan to get ice cream, burgers and other treats at area eateries. The 39th Army National Guard Band will perform at 7 pm followed by fireworks after 9 pm. The Echo Tones classic rock band will perform in Alton Bay on July 3 at 7 pm. Call 875-0109 for further information. Center Harbor has many Fourth of July activities, beginning with the 38th Annual Center Harbor Foot Race on July 4. The Kids’ Footrace begins with 7:15-8:45 am registration and the race starting at 9 am; an adult race follows. Please register to participate in the race at www.centerharbornh.org. At 2 pm
on July 4, the annual parade comes to the downtown Center Harbor area. A free concert with the Center Harbor Town Band at the Center Harbor bandstand begins at 7 pm. Bring a picnic, a blanket or lawn chairs for an evening of entertainment, culminating with a fireworks display over Center Harbor Bay. On July 4, there will be an Independence Day Parade in Moultonboro. The fun kicks off with the parade beginning at 11 am on Blake Road, continuing through town to Old Route 109 and ending at the Lion’s Club with a complimentary barbecue for all participants. If you like a good book, get in line early for Moultonborough Library’s annual book sale, taking place on July 2 and 3. This is one not to miss! The sale will be held in the library parking lot from 9 am-5 pm. Paperbacks and hard covers will be on sale. Call the library at 476-8895 for details. When it comes to celebrating the Fourth, Meredith offers many fun events. A tasty chicken barbecue will be offered in Hesky Park from 11 am to 2 pm on July 4. A band concert will set a festive mood in Hesky Park at 7 pm followed by fireworks over Meredith Bay at dusk. Call 279-6121 for updates. The fun and popular Rubber Duckie Race takes place at the Inns at Mill Falls in Meredith on July 4 at 4 pm. For ticket information call 279-6016.

Annie and the Orphans Open Summer Concert Series For the third year in a row, the Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand will open its summer concert series with the familiar sounds of a local favorite. Annie and the Orphans have performed at the bandstand in Cate Park on numerous occasions and will return with everyone’s favorites from the classic days of rock and roll. The first concert in the weekly series is set for Saturday, July 2. The band recently celebrated its 50th year and has performed at countless venues over the past 50-plus years, starting at school dances and moving

on to street dances, college fraternity parties and battle of the bands competition and eventually on to big stages such as Gillette Stadium, Meadowbrook Musical Arts Center, Trump’s Taj Mahal in Atlantic City, N.J., the Flying Monkey in Plymouth and the M/S Mount Washington. Anatole “Annie” Paquette is the band’s front man, billed as one of the most talented and entertaining front men around. He started as the band’s singer and drummer back in 1964 when he formed the band with childhood friends and now brings his showmanship as the front man. Bob “Big Mac” McNab has been with the band since the beginning, learning how to play bass when the band was formed. After starting as a trumpet player, he saw the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show and realized that playing in a rock band was fun (and girls also seemed to love rock musicians). Steve Giotas began playing drums in high school, teaching himself by listening to records. He formed his first band, the Javas Miles Band, and went on to play in Last Call, Brown Sugar, Animated String Section and Joe Mc-
Donald and Full Circle, playing all kinds of music. Giotas is the newest member of The Orphans. Peter “Wild Man” Previte has been playing keyboards for more than 40 years. He has performed with numerous bands while living in New Hampshire, Georgia, Texas, Massachusetts, Las Vegas, Nevada and even Dublin, Ireland. His unique keyboard style and vocals keep fans entertained wherever he plays. Roy D’Innocenzo is the band’s guitar player and readily incorporates the styles of classical, folk, jazz, country, rock and blues into his playing and has played on CDs for a number of professional bands. He also teaches guitar. Scottie “The Horn” Groleau began playing sax in high school and has played with a number of bands in the Lakes Region, including the Dynamics and the Rusty Rockstar Roadshow with leader Vito Calamari. Any fan of old time rock and roll will certainly want to make their way to Cate Park on Saturday, July 2, as the Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand’s summer concert series begins a new year of fantastic shows in downtown Wolfeboro. The show starts at 7 pm and runs until 9 pm. The concerts, which are held each Saturday in July and August, are free to the public, though a pass-thehat offering is accepted at intermission to help the Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand continue the tradition of bringing entertainment to the bandstand each and every summer. If rain is threatening, the concert will be cancelled and there will be a sign saying as such at the entrance to Cate Park near the town docks and a notice will be posted at wolfeborobandstand.org.

June 27, 2016 • Fourth Continued from page 3 For old-fashioned farm fun, head to the NH Farm Museum on Rt. 125 in Milton for a Fourth on the Farm event held on July 4 from noon to 3 pm. The old-fashioned event offers strawberry shortcake, old-time games, patriotic music and living history farmhouse tours. Visitors also can visit the gift shop and listen to the reading of the Declaration of Independence. Call 652-7840. The Fourth of July parade in Wolfeboro will be held on July 4 at 10 am and will travel down Main Street. The theme is Celebrating Our NH Heritage. A band concert takes place in Cate Park in downtown Wolfeboro starting at 7 pm. The concert will be followed by fireworks over Wolfeboro Bay about 9:30 pm. Call 569-2200. The little town of Ashland really knows how to celebrate and they pull out all the stops for the Fourth of July! Many people say that the fireworks display in Ashland is the best anywhere; if you are heading to the area for the display, plan to spend the weekend in town for some great holiday events. Food concession and entertainment will be held at the LW Packard Ball Field at 6 pm on July 2 with a rain date of July 5. Music will be by the Pardon the Spins and Amulus bands; Art
Harriman will be master of ceremonies while Molly Ricker sings the Star Spangled Banner before the fireworks. The fireworks display will start at dusk and it is among the best anywhere. On July 4 there will be a pancake breakfast at the Common Man restaurant on Main St. starting at 7 am. Following, there will be a traditional parade on Main St. at 10 am. The parade’s theme this year is the 200th Anniversary of 1816, the Year Without a Summer and is dedicated to local hero, Reuben Whitten. Ossipee’s Independence Day celebrations are part of Ossipee Old Home Week. On July 4, the parade lines up at 9 am at Dorrs Corner and Moultonville Road and steps off at 10 am and travels down Main Street to the Town Hall in Center Ossipee; the rain date is July 5. Call 986-8297 for details. Also on July 4 from 11 am to 2 pm, a Family Fun Fair takes place at Ossipee Concerned Citizens on Dorr Street in Center Ossipee with a flea market, food, live music and kids’ games. From 10 am to 5 pm, there will be a Pow Wow on July 4 at Mother Earth’s Creation on Rt. 16 in West Ossipee.

6000 Birds Poised to Launch at 26th Annual Duck Race in Meredith By Barbara Neville Wilson You can call them a flock, a plump, a raft, a paddling, even a badelynge, but however you categorize them, 6000 is a lot of ducks. And they’re all poised to launch from the top of Meredith’s Mills Falls for the Annual Lions’ Club Rubber Duck Race July 4th at 4 pm. Now in its 26th year, the Duck Race has become a cherished tradition for both Lions and spectators alike. Fans start arriving around noon, staking out their territory, relishing the day. The choicest spots let fans stay put for the Duck Race and the fireworks later in the night. They enjoy the American Legion’s BBQ chicken, and when that sells out, they move on to hamburgers, Freedom Fries, and top it off with the Boy Scouts’ signature popcorn. All the while, Lions roam, selling chances on which rubber duck will reach Lake Winnipesaukee first: A duck with your anniversary date? A duck in your shoe size? A duck donning the last four of your social? If it’s still available, buy it. The Lions have been selling numbers since the first week of May. If you have lucky numbers, better lock them in early. The price? $5 a piece or five for $20, the same price as when the Duck Race started in 1992. The prize? $1000 for the first duck to swim the falls and reach Lake Winnipesaukee. Lesser cash prizes are given for second and third place, and gifts are awarded to numbers four through 15. Just imagine! Next April 15, you might be lucky enough to declare “Rubber Duck Race Winnings” on your federal tax forms!

In 1992 Lion “King” Ray Barrett launched the first Duck Race to benefit David’s House. This year’s 26th race has been named in his honor. If you think “Duck Race Winnings” are silly, read on. In 1997, a member’s wife suggested the club sell duck paddles so fans’ could cheer their ducks to victory. “They’re the funniest things you ever saw,” says Marie Valliere, co-chair of the event since 2003. They are handcut duck silhouettes measuring “ten by five inches from their duck tips to their little duck feet.” The Lions sell about 100 paddles a year at 50 cents apiece, as well as quacker whistles and miniduck novelties, like princess ducks and pirate ducks. Precisely at 3 o’clock, number sales are closed so the Lions can prepare the ducks at the race chute at the top of Mills Falls. Silly gets silly-ER when Marie Valliere stifles a giggle. “You have to

work with that dam committee...I’m serious. It’s the state’s Dam Committee that gives us permission every year.” Mills Falls is created by a dam on the canal between Lake Waukewan and Lake Winnipesaukee. To adjust the flow of water in any way is an official act, but the State has cheerfully given permission every year since the Race’s inception, perhaps because the proceeds go to such good causes. Lions Clubs are an international service association, founded in 1907 and serving as Knights to the Blind since 1925. Although their main focus has been to provide eye exams and glasses, they have recently expanded services to include help to the hearing
impaired as well, and local clubs have flexibility to choose other projects as well. The July 4th Duck Race first took flight in response to a talk to the Meredith Lions Club in April 1992. A man named Dick Cyr informed the club about a house being built next to Mary Hitchcock Hospital (now Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center) in Lebanon, NH, where parents of sick children could stay for a nominal fee while their child was hospitalized. It was named “David’s House,” and he asked the club to consider sponsoring a room in the house. Lion Ray Barrett was intrigued by the idea, and after the meeting, he contacted Cyr for more information. Learning that a room sponsorship would cost $20,000, he pledged the club for a room…and THEN told the club about it at the next meeting. Marie says Ray Barrett must have been a “ball of fire,” for not only did the club vote May 12, 1992 to do a first Rubber Duck Race that July 4th to start to make good on the $20,000 pledge, but they also voted Ray Barrett President of the Club starting July 1— or maybe they voted him president as retribution, the official minutes are not clear. That first race launched with 1200 rubber ducks. Won by a woman whose name has been lost to history, the winner set a precedent that has been repeated more than once. She gave

• Duck Race Continued from page 8
$20,000 pledge to David’s House in 2010, but a portion of the annual Duck Race still goes to the home to help maintain the Lion Room and the services it provides. This year’s proceeds will also go toward the retention of a portable spot screener that can detect vision problems in individuals as young as six months and “as old as 106” with a quick and non-invasive examination. If all goes well, the chapter will be able to take a unit to Interlakes School District this fall. After retiring, Ray Barrett left Meredith and moved north to Colebrook. “He never joined the Lions up there,” says Marie, but he remained loyal to David’s House. He traveled to Lebanon at least once a week every week to volunteer his time. He passed away this past April. In his honor, the Lions have placed a plaque at David’s House and this year’s Duck Race will be the first to bear the name of the Ball of Fire that started it all. Bettors, choose your numbers for this year’s Ray Barrett Memorial Duck Race in picturesque Meredith, NH!

the $1000 winner’s purse back to the Lions Club. Marie says, “It was so nice of this person. Here it was the premier event. We only made $3000 or $4000, and here she gave it back.” People’s generosity always impresses Marie. “We take donation checks, and even if people only have two nickels, a little bit goes somewhere, and it can really help.” The Meredith Lions Rubber Duck Race isn’t just about the generosity of spectators, though. Marie notes that what took the first race organizers just weeks to organize, now takes months of preparation. Regulations have become more stringent, and the reach of the race has increased, too. Sales of 1200 ducky numbers have increased to 4000, and this year, they’d love to see all 6000 ducks jettison over the dam. Not only do spectators return every year, but so do sponsors. Marie points to Mayhew Funeral Home. They always donate the tickets, she says, with the only stipulation being that the owners can reserve their preferred numbers year after year. Marie chuckles, “They never win, though.” She pauses and laughs harder, “Neither do I.” The Meredith Lions fulfilled their

Getting to Know Maps and Genealogy Workshop The Lakes Region Genealogy Interest Group will present a program on using maps and Google Earth for genealogy on Thursday, June 30, 2016 at 6:30 pm at the Wolfeboro Public Library. The program is free and open to all. Maps have evolved over centuries from cave drawings to the digital maps of today. Locations are a large part of what makes genealogy interesting and can give insights and help connect with the past. This presentation will connect the past with today through the use of maps. Topics discussed will include overlaying historic maps over current maps via Google Earth, searching places and placing pins on Google Earth,
Google Earth Street View, and alternative map sources. Presenters will be the brother and sister team, Jeffra Kill and Joshua Burke. Kill and Burke were raised doing genealogy and have a deep connection with their family roots. Joshua Burke graduated with a bachelor’s degree in geography from the University of New Hampshire. He has worked as a topographic map manager for Eastern Topographics in Wolfeboro for 21 years. He has been involved in genealogy for over 20 years, especially helping with the technology side of researching and preserving records. Burke enjoys finding the genealogical doors that are opening with the technol-
ogy, maps and documents that are now available on the internet. Jeffra Kill has Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees in Education and Spanish from Brigham Young University. As a Fulbright scholar she worked with the US Department of Education and the Ministry of Education in Argentina to improve education and create cultural connections. She has 15 years of teaching experience in public schools in New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Maine. She has been involved in genealogy since she was a child, accompanying her mother Ginni Burke, to vital records and town clerks’ offices. Kill has combined her passion for traveling with
searching for her ancestors and can be found dragging her 3-year-old daughter and husband to cemeteries and libraries anytime they are on a family vacation. The Lakes Region Genealogy Interest Group is free and open to the public for all those with an excitement for genealogy, beginner or professional. Just bring a desire to learn, share, help and teach others. Monthly meetings will be held on the last Thursday evening of the month and two series of weekly morning classes on Wednesdays from 1011:30 am are scheduled this summer at the library. For more information please call Cindy Scott at the Wolfeboro Public Library at 569-2428.

Squam Lakes Natural Science Center Naturalist releases Book of Outdoors Children Activities With students finishing school and the summer solstice just behind us, Squam Lakes Natural Science Center is excited to announce the publication of 50 Nature Activities for Kids by Senior Naturalist Dave Erler. The book, published in conjunction with Squam Lake Natural Science Center’s 50th anniversary, caters to children and families, teaching interactive and stimulating activities that will help adults and children learn about the natural world. Many of the projects are strongly focused on
plant-based or animal-based activities, which encourage exploration outside. However, the book also features many indoor activities that still strengthen ecological understanding for what’s beyond our walls and ceiling. Many of Erler’s activities require little or no preparation, using materials commonly found around the house. In contrast, other projects in the book require more preparation and handson assembly to engage in the nature activity at hand. Regardless of age, this book is

Parlor Music in 19th Century New England June 28 at Gilmanton Historical Society On Tuesday, June 28, the Gilmanton Historical Society will present Pleasures of the Parlor, a onehour lecture/concert by mezzo-soprano Marya Danihel that vividly portrays home music making in Victorian America. The program, at Old Town Hall in Gilmanton Iron Works, begins at 7:30 pm. Social hour and refreshments begin at 7 pm. The Society’s museum, in the basement of Old Town Hall, will be open at 7 pm. The presentation is illustrated with live performance, visual images, and excerpts from the unpublished memoir of Sarah Goodwin, wife of New Hampshire’s Civil War governor. “These charming songs reveal much about the inner lives of our Victorian forbears while reflecting developments in the culture at large: the waning influence of England, the influx of immigrants, and the growth of social movements such as temperance and abolition,” says Ms. Danihel. A graduate of the University of New Hampshire and Smith College, Ms. Danihel began her performing career in Boston and came to specialize in lecture-concerts on historic popular music. Sponsors of her programs have
included the Longfellow National Historic Site, The Museum of Our National Heritage, the Portsmouth Athenaeum, and many other New England museums and historic societies. Funding for the Gilmanton program has been provided by New Hampshire Humanities. This program is the second in the Gilmanton Historical Society’s 2016 summer series. Programs are offered on the fourth Tuesday of each month, May through September. In July the Society explores historic homes of Gilmanton. In August Pat Clarke will tell about Gilmanton in World War II. On Saturday morning, August 13, the Society will lead a tour of Gilmanton’s first village, Lower Gilmanton, including the Kelley Corner School and the First Baptist Church. The final program in September brings a tribute to Sarah Josepha Hale. The programs are free and open to the public. The hall is handicapped accessible. The Society’s Museum is open at 7 pm before the program, and Saturdays during the summer from 10 am until noon. Donations to support the work of the Society are always welcome.

Have a Family Adventure at Lost River Gorge! By Sarah Wright If you’re looking for a day trip where you can experience the natural beauty of New Hampshire up close, Lost River Gorge and Boulder Caves in North Woodstock will not disappoint. I went with my husband and two boys last summer and we all had a blast. It’s also a great way to beat the heat, as the gorge and caves are at least 10 degrees cooler than the forecast temperatures. Lost River was chosen for New Hampshire Magazine’s Best of NH 2015 and is also a Trip Advisor 2015
Winner, and it’s easy to see why when you arrive. At the main entrance is a gorgeous scenic viewpoint from the deck of the welcome center. It’s just the first of many breathtaking views of Kinsman Notch. From there, you step onto the entrance trail, a long boardwalk that will take you to a lookout point in the lower gorge and then onto the caves. Although there are places to stop and rest along the way, there are 1,000 steps until the finish! (If you have a Fitbit or pedometer, this trip will definitely help you reach your daily goal.)

After the scenic Pop Up Waterfalls, you’ll come to the start of the boulder cave formations, with the Cave of Odin. I love the names of some of the caves, like the Devil’s Kitchen, the Cave of Silence, the Center of the Earth, the Bear Crawl, and the Dungeon (although I don’t like the sound of the Guillotine). So, how and when were all of these glacier caves discovered? Well, as the story goes, two brothers, Royal and Lyman Jackman were looking for a fishing hole back in 1852 when Lyman disappeared. His brother found him in
what is now called the Shadow Cave, waist-deep in water, 15 feet below ground! The brothers decided to start giving guided tours of the gorge, and it’s been a popular tourist spot ever since. Now, I was wary of some of the caves when I was there, especially since I knew I had to help guide my 4-yearold through. Thankfully, there was a description of each cave at the entrance, along with a little diagram of what the path through looked like. I have two

www.thelaker.com • Day Tripping Continued from page 14 adventurous boys, but I did veto a couple of the trickier caves, including the famous Lemon Squeezer. It’s a tight crawl through on your belly, and I have to admit I was too nervous to attempt it. We’ll have to go back when they’re older! Even if you don’t go through any of the caves, the walk along the boardwalk is lovely. You’ll learn about different visible rock formations, like Fenris the Wolf, along with other interesting facts, and enjoy viewpoints and beautiful waterfalls. Paradise Falls is the most photographed spot, but there are plenty of other awesome photo ops. We definitely took our time and stopped to take in the scenery along the way. After exploring all the caves, there’s still more to enjoy, thanks to a newly expanded area for visitors. You can cross the 60-foot-long suspension bridge that spans the upper gorge, take trails through woods and around a nature garden, and visit the trout pool, but don’t miss the amazing views of Kinsman Notch from the Birds Eye Viewpoint. The kids really liked the large Forest Tree House with its animal sculptures, which we discovered was a great place to sit and have lunch (there are also picnic areas). The whole family can also visit the Lost River Mining Company where everyone can pan for treasures like gemstones, fossils, and shark’s teeth. Sold separately from admission, the mining experience includes a bag of “rough” with two ounces of either gemstones or shark’s teeth in each bag. Kids can place the rough in the screen-bottom tray, which is then set
in a water-powered sluice. The water washes the rough away to reveal your treasure! Gemstones may include crystal points, amethyst, calcite, pyrite, and more. If you’re wondering what it would be like to visit the gorge at night, Lost River Gorge also offers the very cool Lantern Tours on scheduled evenings, where visitors can explore the caves at nightfall. Recommended for those ages five and up, this guided tour will take you along the boardwalk lit by headlamps (provided at no charge if you do not have one). The caves will be illuminated with lanterns for an eerie glow. Just think of all the fun shadows they’ll create! The tour begins at dusk and takes about two hours. After the tour, stick around for some yummy s’mores by the campfire. I can’t wait to go back with my kids to share this unique experience! Reservations are required as tour group size is limited. Lost River Gorge and Boulder Caves is located at 1712 Lost River Road in the Kinsman Notch part of North Woodstock on Route 112W. For further information, visit www.lostrivergorge. com or call 745-8031. The season typically runs from May 6 to October 16. Tickets are sold from 9 am until 4 pm, and one hour later at 5 pm, in July and August. Children age 3 and under are free and Lost River also offers a military discount. The gorge is open rain or shine, and remember to wear proper footwear. If you think the views on the drive up to Lost River are beautiful, just wait until you get there! It’s definitely an experience my family will never forget, and we’re looking forward to going again.

Dan is a man who gets straight to the point and he didn’t need to ask twice! I enter Yoga4Life on Route 28 in Wolfeboro on a sunny Friday morning. I’m greeted at the door by my longtime friend Tracey Richardson who is well known in the area as a competitive triathlete and spinning instructor and Doug Darnell who has come to the studio after 30 years of teaching physical education in Dublin, Ohio. He has a Masters in Sports Science and two personal training certifications. Doug sets up challenging

Miss Winnipesaukee…Past and Present By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper Ballroom dancing was a big craze in the early 1900s. If you wanted to socialize and perhaps meet your future husband or wife, taking to the dance floor was a great way to meet other young people. Jim Irwin’s Winnipesaukee Ballroom Gardens at Weirs Beach was the place to meet and dance in the 1920, 30s, 40s and 50s, when big-name musicians such as Glen Miller and Duke Ellington graced the stage. The dance floor was huge, and to this day, older local residents get starry-eyed when they remember dancing at this premiere nightspot. Perhaps dancing was what Alma Cavagnaro from Boston, Massachusetts had in mind when she dressed for an evening of music and dancing at Irwin’s Winnipesaukee Gardens at Weirs Beach in August of 1925. By the end of the evening, she had been crowned Miss Winnipesaukee. Alma was the daughter of a Boston policeman; she was most likely vacationing in the area that summer of 1925. Information at www.misswinnipesaukee.org tells us she was a summer resident of Lake Winnisquam. An interview with the Boston Globe shortly after Alma won first prize, allowed the young winner to assert when asked where she got her good looks, “If there’s any credit, it’s due to Father and Mother. I love to be out of doors, and I eat and sleep well, walk a lot and enjoy life. No cosmetics except fresh air, sun and exercise.” Her answer during the question portion of the contest must have pleased the judges. She was asked what she would do if she won a one-way trip to Paris. (The contest winning first prize money would cover the cost of the trip.) “Well, I’m coming back,” retorted the successful beauty. “What, leave Mother and Dad and the girls? I haven’t decided yet what I shall do with the prize money, but it certainly won’t be going to Paris – not till I can take the family with me!” Although the answer and the lighthearted nature of that first contest seem rather amusing in our modern-day world, the competition was a great way to spend a summer evening – whether you were a competitor or an avid spec-
Marilyn Dearborn, Miss Winnipesaukee 1944. Courtesy www.misswinnipesaukee.org. tator. The contest was one of many from entrepreneur Jim Irwin, owner of Winnipesaukee Gardens. With many young people from the greater Boston area in the Lakes Region for a summer vacation with their families, most found themselves at the Gardens to socialize and dance. The following year, Miss Marie Graham of Jamaica, Massachusetts was crowned the pageant winner. The Laconia Evening Citizen’s August 18, 1926 edition stated that she was chosen and crowned in front of 1,500 spectators at the ballroom. As a 20-year-old stenographer, she was a guest at the Maples Hotel in the Weirs Beach area, according to www. misswinnipesaukee.org. Perhaps Marie’s wholesome good looks, with long blonde hair that she chose not to “bob” as most ladies her age were doing, appealed to the judges. Whatever the reason, Marie found herself, as the winner, on her way to Atlantic City with all expenses paid, to enter the annual national beauty pageant. What a night it must have been, with a Hawaiian orchestra and “dancing continued until 4 o’clock in the morning.” From bloomers to bathing suits,
pageants have long been part of the American image. In 1927, the pageant really became a big part of summer in the area. This was the era when moving pictures came into their own, and many young women dreamed of becoming movie stars, like favorites Mary Pickford and Gloria Swanson. Not everyone had the talent, though, and dreams of stardom most often remained just that: a dream. But a win in a beauty pageant (as the competitions were known as in those days), could get you visibility and a movie talent scout might discover you.
One local youth, Marguerite Gaudette, definitely had the recipe for success: beauty, great dancing skill, and a beautiful singing voice. Marguerite lived in the Weirs Beach area and attended high school in nearby Meredith. Outgoing and talented, this pretty young woman was often seen at the Gardens, accompanied by her mother and brother, where her skill as a dancer was apparent. She won the beauty pageant in 1931. That same year, she competed in the Miss New Hampshire pageant held also at the ballroom. To compete for the Miss Winnipesaukee title, the girls had to be interviewed by contest judges, and model in a bathing suit and evening gown. The contest was so popular that Jim Irwin dedicated Irwin’s first speedboat “Miss Winnipesaukee.” To this day, people still talk with affection about the old Miss Winnipesaukee speedboats. The Miss Winnipesaukee pageant became a regular part of summer entertainment in the Lakes Region. The ballroom was the perfect place for the competition, with its huge dance floor and stage. The event was a big deal in the area for vacationers and residents alike, and the winner helped to promote the fun and recreation to be had in the Lakes Region. In around 1950, Laconia resident Colleen Gallant was the winner. She was a talented water skier and a member of a local waterski club; she used waterskiing as the talent portion

• Yoga Continued from page 16 smooth and have natural give. They can be incorporated into poses where one’s palm doesn’t quite reach the ground, or to elevate the body so a stretch can be achieved. Pam is gentle and inviting, never pointing out corrections to any one yogi—a term, I learn, for anyone practicing yoga—giving broad adaptive instruction one can internalize if she chooses. At times we are flat-footed and bending at the waist; at others we are prone, and resting on our toes; later we round the back and feel muscles release; we even take moments to flex our wrists or ankles, and roll our heads on our necks. The kneepads are handy when doing prolonged work on our knees. The straps can help us move into position if flexibility is challenged. While the gentle movements seem small, I start to feel my blood flow more freely and my muscles release. After a focused set of movements, Pam invites us to sit, breathe, drink some water. In addition to equipment, some participants have water bottles. Pam notes a water cooler near the fireplace. The yogi on the next mat offers to get me a cup, a natural extension of the good will pervading the room. One position moves naturally to the next and another and another. I’m enjoying the flow, not even bothered by the call to a “side plank.” Usually I despise the exercise. This time I find it easier to hold and even feel some victory in maintaining it with the others. “Stop!” I remind myself. “Don’t compare. Just be.”

Pam invites us to go to our “comfy” place, encouraging us to put the blanket under our head and rest, listen again to our breathing, and clear all thoughts. “Let the body breathe you,” she says. After the class concludes, I invite class participants to share their Yoga4Life stories, and they line up quickly, anxious to share their experience: “It’s a great place,” “Finally able to do day classes now that I retired,” Pam’s

classes “helped me through pain and emotional issues.” Anne Grady wants to make sure I know Pam’s integral role in her healing from a traumatic brain injury in 2010. Now six years out, she points to the
fact that Yoga4Life was on the Carroll County Transit route, allowing her to get to class when she was unable to drive herself from Ossipee Village. The bus was a godsend getting her there, but there was no transportation available afterwards. She was able to keep coming, she says, because of “Pam’s generosity in driving me home…this community sustained me.” Before leaving, I try to engage Pam in conversation about her good works, but she is more inclined to let me hear about classes the studio’s newest instructor offers. Lindsey Kipp specializes in therapeutic yoga practice and is certified in Yoga for the Heart®, especially designed for people challenged by various diseases and joint replacements, as well as neck, back and heart issues. She joins other certified instructors who teach a wide variety of classes from Yoga Basics to Vinyasa/Hatha Flow, Power Yoga, Restorative Yoga with Mediation, Warm Yoga-Pilates for athletes, Core Flow, Tai Chi and Barre. Pam says, no matter the technique or instructor, the goal at Yoga4Life is for every participant to leave the studio “feeling balanced, strong, peaceful and refreshed…all at the same time.” Yoga4Life NH is located at 615 Center Street/Route 28 in Wolfeboro.

June 27, 2016 • Miss Winnipesaukee Continued from page 25 of her program in the Atlantic City Beauty Pageant. This would undoubtedly have brought further awareness of the fun to be had in the Lakes Region. Charming old photos at www. misswinnipesaukee.org show the fun the young women had at the contests. Some photos show the ladies lined up, all smiles, sporting one-piece bathing suits and high heels. One happy winner, Marilyn Dearborn, is photographed sunning herself on the beach. The year was 1944, and the competition was held at Winnipesaukee Gardens. The pageant took place at the Gardens for many years and was always a fun event. In later years, it moved to various locations, even once being held at the railroad station at Weirs Beach. Bob Lawton, the owner of Funspot in Weirs Beach, hosted the pageant at the business for quite some time and it later moved to Gilford Middle High School and has now found a permanent home at Gunstock Mountain Resort in Gilford. This year’s Miss Winnipesaukee Scholarship Program will take place on Sunday, July 10. Doors open at 6:30 pm and the program begins at 7 pm. Admission is free and donations are welcome. According to co-director Tina Gebhard, “This year we are presenting Miss Winnipesaukee, Miss Weirs Beach and also Miss Outstanding Teen. The competition covers the counties of Belknap, Grafton, Carroll, Hillsboro, Merrimack and Strafford. To compete
in Miss Winnipesaukee and Miss Weirs Beach, you must be between the ages of 18 and 24. Miss Outstanding Teen ages are 13 to 17.” She adds that the Miss Winnipesaukee event started in 1925. She is unsure when Miss Weirs Beach was started, but it was discontinued in 1957. In 2007, the current scholarship program added Miss Weirs Beach, to offer one more winning young woman scholarship money. To enter, hopefuls fill out an application and the day of the event, they start at Funspot with a get-to-know one another icebreaker. Then it is on to Gunstock for a catered lunch followed by meeting with the judges to answer questions. They also work on the opening number and sound checks. Once the competition begins, the young women have a chance to really shine during the talent portion of the event, as well as evening gown and swimsuit portions of the evening. The event is fun for spectators, as well as the competitors, and everything takes place at Gunstock’s main lodge. The winners spend the following year making public appearances as their family and school commitments allow, riding in parades and appearing at charity events; they are representatives of the crown and go on to compete in Miss NH. Last year’s Miss Winnipesaukee, Caroline Carter, won Miss NH and will be going on to the Miss American competition. Tina Gebhard is co-director of the event with Gary Vincent, and both are dedicated to the scholarship program. They work on a volunteer basis to
make the event go smoothly each year. Tina mentions that former winners and family members stop by or stay in contact. For example, the daughter of Marilyn Dearborn, who was a winner in the 1940s, stays in touch and is a supporter of the event. The fun and entertaining pageant
that began many years ago at Irwin’s Winnipesaukee Gardens has certainly changed over time. However, the notion of competition on a balmy summer’s evening in the Lakes Region continues. For information on the Miss Winnipesaukee Scholarship Pageant, visit www.misswinnipesaukee.org.

Invasive Species Presentation and Workshop Join the Lakes Region Conservation Trust from 9 to 10:30 am on Thursday, June 30 at the Abenaki Ski Lodge in Wolfeboro for a presentation from Doug Cygan, the Invasive Species Coordinator for the NH Department of Agriculture. Doug will provide an in-depth look at upland invasive plant species of New Hampshire. Attendees will learn about New Hampshire rules and regulations, characteristics, identifying features and control measures of some of the most aggressive non-native plants here in the Granite State. After the presentation interested participants will venture across town to the Sewall Woods Conservation Area for a hands-on experience identifying and eradicating invasive species with Dave Mallard, LRCT Land and Stewardship Director from 10:30 am to 2 pm. Sewall Woods consists of four contiguous parcels, totaling 179 acres, which were acquired by the Lakes Region Conservation Trust (LRCT)
through an extraordinary decade-long community-based effort completed in 2007. Hundreds of year-round and seasonal residents, local businesses, and local organizations donated generously for LRCT to purchase three of the parcels, and the owner of the fourth parcel made the extraordinarily generous donation of his land to the LRCT. These efforts resulted in the permanent conservation of one of Wolfeboro’s most special places for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations and ensured that Sewall Woods remains a year round natural and recreational resource for the community. Participation in this event will be limited and registration is required. To register for this program and to learn more about this event, the Lakes Region Conservation Trust, upcoming excursions, or to support LRCT’s work in preserving the Lakes Region’s special places, please visit www.lrct. org or call 253-3301.

Introduction to Fishing on Squam Lake Freshwater fishing is a popular recreational activity on Squam that reels in many types of anglers from all over the world. On July 1, 2016 from 9 to 11 am, the Squam Lakes Association (SLA) is offering yet another Adventure Ecology program that will give participants a chance to learn about all things fishing, from fish ecology in Squam Lake, to a brief hands-on lesson about fishing in the freshwater areas of New Hampshire. After that, the remainder of the morning will be spent baiting hooks, casting lines, and catching fish. All you need to bring is a great attitude that is ready to learn, and the SLA will supply the fishing poles and non-lead tackle. Your fishing guide, Squam Lakes Association conservation intern Jordan Jones, is a junior at the University of Maryland, and grew up on the eastern shore of Maryland where he spent a lot of his time fishing both in the ocean
and freshwater rivers. Jordan has a passion for the outdoors, especially all things related to the water. This event will be held at the Squam Lakes Association Headquarters, 534 U.S. Rt. 3 in Holderness. All ages 7-13 are welcome with parental guidance. For more information, or to sign up for this Adventure Ecology Program, email JenneWalker@squamlakes. org or call 968-7336. Registration is required. The SLA also offers other Adventure Ecology trips throughout the summer. Every Friday from June 17 through August 19, these 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.

Squam Lakes Natural Science Center StoryWalk™ Kick-Off July 1 Squam Lakes Natural Science Center is thrilled to announce their opening day celebration in honor of StoryWalk, on Friday, July 1 from 10 to 11:30 am. The public is invited to participate in this celebration and enjoy refreshments and numerous, hands-on activities for children. StoryWalk is an interactive storybook themed walk, designed to have adults and children follow a short path outdoors. The path starts by introducing this year’s book by Lindsay Barrett George called Around the Pond: Who’s Been Here? In the book, the two main characters set out to pick blueberries but are distracted by clues that wildlife is near. As the characters uncover what these clues denote, adults and children will follow along the path to discover for themselves. This easy walk will surely captivate children and entertain adults as they follow Lindsay Barrett George’s tale to identify clues of deer and other New Hampshire wildlife. StoryWalk is open daily from Thursday, July 1 through Monday, September 5. There is no admission to enjoy StoryWalk and no registration required. StoryWalk is located around the Holderness Town Gazebo, situated
behind the Holderness Town Post Office at Curry Place. Parking for StoryWalk is available at Curry Place. For more information, visit www.nhnature.org. StoryWalk is made possible by the Science Center, in collaboration with the Holderness Library and Holderness Recreation Department, and sponsored by Meredith Village Savings Bank. The mission of Squam Lakes Natural Science Center is to advance understanding of ecology by exploring New Hampshire’s natural world. Through spectacular live animal exhibits, natural science education programs, an informal public garden, and lake cruises, the Science Center has educated and enlightened visitors since 1966 about the importance of our natural world. Squam Lakes Natural Science Center is located on Route 113 in Holderness, an easy drive from exit 24 off I-93, and is open daily from May 1 through November 1. The Science Center is accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) and is the only AZA-accredited institution in all of northern New England. For further information about the Science Center, call 603-968-7194 or visit www.nhnature.org.

Dusting of the Drawings and the Drapes at the Colonial Theatre The first phase of selective demolition at the Colonial Theatre, is nearing completion. The work has been coordinated by construction manager Bonnette Page and Stone, and they have taken exceptional care uncovering the magnificent space inside. With the majority of the cinema subdivisions removed, the Misiaszek Turpin team has been able to examine the Theatre in near its original conditions. The Theatre continues to offer hidden secrets of its history and that of Laconia’s. This past week, Sonya Misiaszek and Robert Turpin, owners and principles of the Laconia based architectural office Misiaszek Turpin pllc., welcomed several of their consultants to the Theatre to get an up-close look at the details and to document all the historical qualities. Over the previous six months, the team has been poring through the remnants of the original drawings and those from the 1980’s renovation that brought the multiple cinemas into existence. “It has been fascinating to see how the construction of the building has differed from the original drawings,” commented Turpin while discussing the progress of this first phase. Alongside the demolition and work happing inside the Theatre, Misiaszek Turpin has been working to dissect every aspect of the drawings and the images that they have been able to
transformation, honoring its past while bringing it into the present. The entire team working on the Piscopo Building and its fossilized theatre are eagerly awaiting the day that the doors will finally re-open and the community can once again enjoy the space. If you or anyone you know has pictures or documentation of the Colonial Theatre, the team would be thrilled to hear from you and to see your artifacts. Please reach out to Jared Guilmett with your images and stories at jared@misiaszekturpin.com or connect with Misiaszek Turpin pllc. on Facebook. acquire. Partnering with the Laconia Historical and Museum Society and several other individuals, the team has been able to gather a semi-complete understanding of the building’s history. Jared Guilmett, Staff Designer at Misiaszek Turpin pllc., has been working to gather and organize all the images that they have received. “Every picture has value! To achieve the goals of revitalization, we need to see and understand the whole history of the Theatre,” Guilmett said while flipping through their catalogue of images. From its opening in 1914 to today, there is quite a story held behind the Theatre’s drapes. Each day the Theatre is changing,as it readies itself for a wonderful

history: “The Weirs officially opened for business on May 29, 1928, with over one thousand people attending the festivities. Terry Page and his Atlantic Orchestra were present, courtesy of Jim Irwin who also took the opportunity to commission what he called ‘ChrisCraft Row’ on the south side of the Winnipesaukee Gardens. He had 12 new boats on display and hoped the new models would draw in customers. To make buying a boat easier, ads were taken out in the local papers hawking the incredible new opportunity to buy a Chris-Craft out of income. This brand new idea for a recreational boat allowed people to place only 40% of the purchase price down and then equal payments on the remaining balance for 12 months. The ads stressed how no other boat company could offer such generous terms, the closing line read ‘A year to pay – A lifetime to enjoy!”
(From Winnipesaukee Racing History by Mark Howard courtesy of the New Hampshire Boat Museum.) All was going well until the depression, when orders for boats began dropping quickly around the country. Several builders could not survive the struggling economy and all the builders that were still in business coming out at the end of the depression were scarred badly. Three to four years after the depression boat building began reviving in earnest and builders started focusing more on producing boats that families could enjoy. By the time WWII arrived most all of the boat builders shut down their plants for personal craft and focused on building boats for wartime. Today, two original boat builder names, and their original building

Hand Quilted Karner Blue Butterfly Wall Hanging Raffle at the Libby Museum Rae Lynn Warren, a talented member of the Ladies of the Lakes Quilters Guild has woven her magic again in creating a museum quality hand sewn wall hanging to benefit the Libby Museum in honor of its 2016 theme: NH’s endangered Karner Blue Butterfly, which will be celebrated on the Museum’s annual Family Day on July 24. Warren’s quilts are also hanging in the NH Boat Museum and the Wright Museum. Warren learned hand applique and embroidery from her mother at age 12. Her great aunt taught her how to use a sewing machine to make her own clothes. She has been refining these skills since then, while developing a passion for creating original designs in her miniature quilts, comfort quilts, and nature scene wall-hangings. Warren lives in Melvin Village, NH. The Karner Blue butterflies and lupine quilt is Warren’s latest
creation. To show the detailed markings on the butterfly wings, especially the underside, the butterflies and lupine have been enlarged. The actual butterfly has a one-inch wingspan, similar in size to the embroidered butterfly in the lower corner of the quilt. The quilt is done in hand applique and embroidered technique. This is the second quilted wall hanging that she has donated to the Libby Museum. The first featured the Twin Flower for the Libby’s 100th anniversary celebration. The raffle to benefit the Libby will take place until Columbus Day Weekend, 2016. Tickets are $1 each or 6 for $5. You do not need to be present to win. So come to see the Libby Museum, walk our new Libbywoods trail, join our Family Day, monthly programs, children’s camps, art lessons and stop to buy your raffle tickets while you visit us!

The Colony’s next event, set for Tuesday July 5 at 8 pm, will be a slide show presentation given by photographer Matt Nighswander, a Gilmanton native. Nighswander is a graduate of Gilmanton School, Yale University, and Columbia College Chicago. Now a multimedia editor for NBC News in New York, Nighswander still finds a quiet and haunting magic in the landscape of his childhood home. As he presents these photographs of his
at
hometown and other projects he has been working on, he’ll discuss the transformative power of photography and the rise of digital media. Nighswander’s work has been featured in The New York Times and in numerous galleries nationwide. Some of his photos are online at mattnighswander.com. The Scriven Arts Colony sits a stone’s throw from Gilmanton Corners, at 452 NH Route 140, Gilmanton, NH 03237. Directions and details on other Scriven events are available at scrivenartscolony.com.
