mug was hoisted on its grounds. And besides, Greenleaf fancied himself progressive. After Greenleaf’s grandfather, Joseph, bought the house in 1817, it became the centerpiece of a 100-acre lakeside farm owned by the family for three generations. One hundred years later, grandson Greenleaf gave it to the town “to be preserved as a relic of olden time” with a plot of land to be used “as a public park or garden.” Greenleaf was also instrumental in the forming of the historical society that oversees the museum. On a recent quiet summer afternoon, I stopped by the Clark i

The brilliantly restored Amoskeag Steamer is a highlight in the Firehouse at the Clark House Museum Complex.

At first glance, the quaint white Cape, white schoolhouse, white barn and white firehouse surrounded by the white picket fence at Wolfeboro’s Clark House Museum Complex look like something out of an issue of Yankee Magazine in the 1950s or—true story—The Granite Monthly in October 1920. But walk through that white picket gate, and you’ll find collections that tie past with present uniquely. Take July 15th’s beer pairing event. Really. When was the last time you had the chance to go to a museum to taste beer? Glenn Knoblock, author of Brewing in NH: An informal History of Beer From the Colonial Times to the Present shared his research about beer in New Hampshire, and Wolfeboro’s Lone Wolfe and Burnt Timber micro-breweries provided samples for adults in the audience. Did the event make Greenleaf Clark, who gave the Clark House and its grounds to Wolfeboro, turn in his grave? Hardly. The event tied in well with the past life of the house. It was built in 1778 and run as a tavern by the Widow Evans as “late” as 200 years ago. ManyCaabbeer in R u s t

I was greeted at the broad doorway of the Firehouse by a Colonial-garbed Jim Rogers, recent past-president of the Wolfeboro Historical Society, and a T-shirtwearing Mark Lush, the Society’s only paid staff member in summer, and longtime history teacher at

Kingswood Regional High School the other nine months of the year. The two make a great tag team: Jim, the descendant of one of Wolfeboro’s seven founding families steeped in history and anecdote, and Mark, the “newcomer” of several decades, and an academic fairly fresh to the local history scene. Since my own arrival in the area some 30 years ago, the Museum Complex has grown from the Clark family home and the Pleasant Valley schoolhouse to include the firehouse filled with colorful fire wagons, equipment and memorabilia, and more recently an

antique barn. When finished, it will offer an additional 3,000 square feet of exhibition and program space. This has been Jim’s special project in his tenure as president, and it is nearly complete. Our conversation is soon interrupted by the arrival of a “real customer,” as Mark says. A sunglasses-wearing woman and teenage boy approach. “Hello,” she says, “I called earlier?” Lauren Eveland of Middleton Road has called Winnipesaukee her summer home since childhood and has recently taken possession of a barn (“Well, now it’s a house,” she admits) that she has been told, once belonged to the Sheas of

Shea Stadium. And Mr. Shea and his friend Joe Kennedy used to go antiquing together to furnish his property. “Oh, yes. Yes,” says Mark, “I checked our records on that, but we don’t have much.” Lauren looks disappointed. “But,” Mark continues, “I’ve passed the information on to our history guy and he will research it and get back to you.” The Society’s historical sleuth is Gene Danu, a research fanatic who has stepped into the very big shoes of Harrison Moore who performed the same service for years. Gene is not particularly enamored of limelight opportunities, says Mark, but he loves to dig in and find out facts. Lauren’s face registers surprise at the full service offered her, and expresses thanks as she leaves. Mark and I settle on to a bench in the park on land donated by Greenleaf. It’s busy every Thursday in summer when the Wolfeboro Area Farmer’s Market sets up shop, but today it’s quiet. Just as we start to look official and do an interview, a convertible swings in and out steps Don Hargy, a transplant who arrived to Wolfeboro in retirement. He pulls out his wallet and hands Mark some bills. “I told people there was no charge, but if they’d like to make a donation to the Wolfeboro Historical Society, we’d appreciate

it.”

“And all that came from your sign?” asks Mark, referring to a sign Don carried in the July 4th parade, inviting people to meet him for a walking tour of downtown when the parade was through. It brought his biggest group yet, and a few donation dollars to the Society. The two explain that Don runs these walking tours four times a summer. He asks guests to travel back in time with him to the year 1872, just after the Boston & Maine Railroad spur from Sanbornville was completed to Wolfeboro. Together, they walk the few blocks of downtown, seeking their best choice of lodging among the large hotels then thriving: the Sheridan, where the Wolfeboro Marketplace is now, the Belvue, at today’s Cate Park; the Glendon House across the street where the U.S. Post Office has laid claim since the 1930s; the Pavilion where Brewster Field is now; and the Glen House on the corner of Main and Center Streets. Don tells me tours will run again July 29, August 12 and August 26 at 10 am, then quickly gets to brass tacks with Mark. Can he take advantage of the deal offered with Historical Society membership?

volume The History of Wolfeboro, NH—1770-1994? Mark walks him into the gift shop, and I wander the grounds beautifully kept by the Wolfeboro Garden Club. I meet Georgia Mosher busily weeding and watering the memorial herb garden. She’s in the last few days of her two-week stint of volunteering and in a quandary: to cut back or to not cut back some of the more prolific plants? Perhaps to let the next volunteer decide? She’s joined Susann Stadtfeld’s group caring for this historically influenced plot. She points to the thriving, well-coiffed rose garden across the yard. Another group from the Wolfeboro Garden Club cultivates it. She chose the herbs, though, because, “I like herbs, and I particularly liked Pat Booth” in whose honor the plot was planted. Along with the building and land, the Historical Society inherited substantial collections of Clark family documents. Mark takes me into the archives and shows me some of the files his Advanced Placement students began organizing this past spring. A quick scan reveals Greenleaf as a man of strategy, perhaps giving his gifts to achieve desired ends. A Boston Post headline from September 1924 proclaims Greenleaf Clark’s “First Free Dance Hall in New England A Huge Success” and quotes him saying he built the $2000 outdoor dance hall, and hired its live bands from the city on Saturday nights and used a “high-

priced radio amplifier” on weekdays because he believed “dancing is one of the best means of keeping the youth of today out of trouble” and to “put Wolfeboro on the map.” This was at a time when many civic institutions questioned the morality of the close physical proximity of the sexes when engaged in dances like the Charleston. Mark and I laugh aloud as we wonder about the effect the final paragraph had on townspeople reading it, “Free parking space makes it possible for couples to sit in their cars within earshot of the music. There is no ban on spooning.” I suspect Greenleaf would have been pleased when the final visitor of the day is a father of the bride. He asks permission to use the grounds and buildings as a backdrop later in the summer. Of course the Society will say, “yes.” It’s a lovely location, and if there is no ban on spooning, formal wedding photos will be just fine. The Clark House Museum Complex is located directly across from Huggins Hospital on South Main Street in Wolfeboro. It is open Wednesday through Friday, 10 am to 4 pm and Saturday, 10 am to 2 pm. Upcoming events include “Abolitionists of Noyes Academy” with Dan Billin on August 8, “Old Camps on Wentworth & Winnipesaukee” with Kathy Eaton on September 11, and “Wolfeboro’s First Settlers” with Jim Rogers on October 2.

New Hampshire Boat Museum Hosts Lecture on Lake Sunapee History New Hampshire is a state with over 900 lakes and all have fascinating histories. On Thursday, July 20 at 7 pm, the New Hampshire Boat Museum in Wolfeboro will host an illustrated talk called “Boating on Lake Sunapee: The Lake Sunapee Regattas 18921957.” The lecture is free of charge and refreshments will be served. Barbara Chalmers of the Sunapee Historical Society will give the talk. In her presentation, Chalmers will look at the Lake Sunapee Regatta Association that sponsored annual multi-day summer celebrations. These events included water sports, canoeing, and rowing competitions, sailboat and motorized boat races, and the Grand Illumination. During her talk she will also tell the history of boating, passenger steamboats and the development of Lake Sunapee as a summer resort.

The New Hampshire Boat Museum is open to the public for the 2017 season and will remain open daily through Monday, October 9, 10 am to 4 pm Monday through Saturday, and Sunday noon to 4 pm. The Museum is a not-for-profit institution that focuses on the social history of life on New Hampshire’s lakes and the state’s important fresh water boating traditions. It is located at 399 Center Street, Wolfeboro Falls, two miles from downtown Wolfeboro in the former Allen “A” Resort dance hall. For further information contact the Museum at 603-569-4554, museum@nhbm.org, www.nhbm.org or via Facebook.

Intro to Species Interactions and the Balance of Nature Join the Squam Lakes Association (SLA) on July 21 from 10 am to noon for a few hours to explore the species that inhabit areas of Squam Lake and the surrounding watershed. Hosted by SLA conservation intern, Dominique Tarr, participants will take a tour around the woods, field, and shorelines of the SLA headquarters to observe interactions between species that consider this place home. This program will be geared for ages 10 and up. By understanding the complex interactions that species have with one another, we can begin to appreciate how these interactions combine to create a balance within nature. These interactions come in multiple forms

and their impacts on participating organisms can vary from situation to situation. A common example that may be discussed in the tour is a bee pollinating a plant, where both species benefit from the interaction as the bee is provided with nectar and the plant is able to spread its pollen. However, some things can upset this balance in nature such as human impacts, disease, and changing climates. By the end of the guided tour, participants will be able to recognize various types of species interactions that occur in nature and their effects on the organisms involved. In addition, participants should have a good

understanding about the consequences of altering the complex harmony between species. The beginning of the program will start with a short introduction (no more than 20 minutes) about the different types of interactions, and the following portion will be dedicated to time spent outside exploring them. The program is designed for ages 10 and up; all children must be accompanied by an adult. Participants will meet at the SLA headquarters, 534 US Rt. 3 in Holderness, at 10 am.

Every Friday through August 18, the 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.

Metal Artist exhibiting at the Meredith Fine Craft Gallery The League of NH Craftsmen Meredith Fine Craft Gallery is pleased to have League-juried metal artist, Deirdre Donnelly, featured for the month of August with her “Blended Metals” jewelry exhibit. This exhibit will run from August 1 – August 31 in the gallery with her pieces on display and available for purchase. Deirdre’s silver and gold “Blended Metals” jewelry is inspired by the magical homes of the goddesses and gods at the Neolithic sites of Newgrange, Knowth and Dowth

in Ireland, built in 3500 BC. These temples to immortality are decorated with megalithic art with astronomy and spirituality as a fundamental aspect of their symbolism. The three main structures symbolize birth, life, and death and are surrounded by “satellite” cairns also with deep symbolic significance. The Satellite Collection represents the most sacred symbolism lying at the core of the spirit homes built in Ireland over 5,000 years ago. The mission of the League of NH Craftsmen is to encourage, nurture

Dixieland Jazz Swings into Cate Park The Moose Mountain Jazz Band has traditionally been one of the most popular offerings in the Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand summer concert series. The band returns this year to entertain audiences on Saturday, July 22. The Moose Mountain Jazz Band has been performing at events all over the region since 2001, when the group originally got together to play a Dixieland Night at the Wakefield Historical Society. The band officially formed in February 2002 and has been bringing the sounds of Dixieland jazz to locals and visitors alike for more than 10 years. The band is led by Lance MacLean, who has been playing music of some kind for most of his life. He began with a ukulele at age 8, and at age 14 picked up a banjo and has been playing it ever since. Wayne Mogel has played for numerous bands, including the Glenn Miller Band, the Air Force Band and many Motown bands, including The

Dixieland jazz at the bandstand Saturday, July 22. (Courtesy photo Three Degrees, who reached number two on the charts with “When Will I See You Again.” With the Moose Mountain Jazz Band, he brings his trombone chops to the table with a varied musical background. David Young began playing bass at 12 years old and has worked with

many musicians and musical styles in the years since. Mike Chatigny first picked up drumsticks in third grade and by age 11 he was involved in several musical projects in the seacoast area. As a high school senior he studied and played with the Tanglewood Youth Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Vic Firth. Bob MacInnis came to Moose Mountain Jazz Band from the New Liberty Jazz Band and many other groups in the Boston area, playing everything from classical to swing as well as traditional jazz. He plays clarinet and sax with the Moose Mountain Jazz Band. Neil Fewelling is the band’s trumpet player. He has been teaching music for more than 40 years and has been playing with numerous groups playing everything from classical to jazz and rock and has worked around the world.

The band’s piano player is Joe Frascetti, a 33-year veteran of professional piano, electric keyboards and vocals and can be seen with numerous groups and on his own website at joefrascetti.com. The Moose Mountain Jazz Band will take to the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand from 7 to 9 pm on Saturday, July 22. The concert is free to the public, though a pass-the-hat offering is taken at intermission to help the Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand support the continuation of the concert series each summer. The concerts are subject to weather conditions. If bad weather is threatening and the concert has to be postponed, there will be a sign posted at the park entrance near the town docks and online at wolfeborobandstand.org and on the group’s Facebook page.

NH Open Water Ski Tournament Bringing Excitement to Wolfeboro The Lakes Region Open is one of a group of USA Water Ski sanctioned events that the Abenaki Water Ski Club is sponsoring this summer. The water ski events will take place at Back Bay, home to the only ski site in New Hampshire with a slalom course and ski jump. This is the 37th year the club has been on the water of Back Bay. On Saturday, July 22 the 37th Annual Lakes Region Open will take place with three events, and on Saturday, August 5, the 26th Annual New Hampshire Championships feature three events. The tournaments attract many of New England’s best water skiers, from skiers as young as 7 years of age to nationally ranked seniors in their 70’s. The skiing starts at 8 am for each event and runs through late afternoon. The rain date for each tournament is the following day. The summer’s final event is the 16th Annual New England Slalom Championships on Saturday,

September 9, beginning at 8 am and running until late afternoon. The event attracts top slalom skiers from all over New England and beyond with intense competition in each age group. Spectators are welcome and all events are easily viewed up close along the Bridge-Falls Path behind the Wolfeboro Railroad Station in

downtown Wolfeboro. According to a Laker article by Sarah Wright titled “Waterskiing is Alive and Well in Wolfeboro”, “The town is a waterskiing hub for Lake Winnipesaukee as well as the whole state. In fact, there’s a whole history of waterskiing in the town, from the old Wolfeboro Ski Club of the 1950s and

60s that used to put on shows at the town docks, to the Abenaki Water Ski Club, formed in 1971. The Abenaki Club actually takes waterskiing to new heights with tournaments scheduled every summer on Back Bay in Wolfeboro. Bill Swaffield, board of director member for the club, said it’s the only one he knows of on Lake Winnipesaukee. Like many water skiers, Bill learned to water ski when he was about 7 or 8, and has been skiing ever since. “Waterskiing is a great workout for your arms, back, and shoulders,” Bill said. “It’s a fun sport that will get you in shape.” The Abenaki Ski Club welcomes new skiers. You can find club members water skiing in the Back Bay on Saturday and Sunday mornings. If you’d like to learn more, call Bill Swaffield at 603-5693017. He can also answer any questions about club membership.

Gallery Show - New England Light and Shadows On Saturday, July 22, The Art Place will host the opening of a gallery show of new original paintings by artist Charlene Lehto. Charlene will be at the gallery to visit with old friends and meet new art lovers during a reception from 4 to 7 pm. Raised in coastal New England, the beaches and fishing villages from Cape Cod to Down East Maine were the first subjects for Charlene’s oils and watercolors. She later adopted the mountains and lakes of New Hampshire and Vermont as themes for paintings. The show is titled “New England Light and Shadows” and is best described by the artist, “I enjoy the

Around the Towns

sparkle and interplay of light and shadow as the sun moves across a landscape. From the shimmer of its

first rays on a fresh snowfall to the dazzle of spray rising from a breaking wave, I try to reflect nature’s beauty in

my paintings.” Charlene will also include some whimsical pieces in the Art Place show. She states, “Constantly learning and experimenting with new ideas and techniques, I strive to share the beauty that I see in nature with the viewer. Each piece conveys its own mood. Whether painted in traditional style or in a fun, loose method, I work to keep freshness and clarity in my work.” The show will continue through August 4. The Art Place is located at 9 North Main Street, downtown Wolfeboro, NH. Call at 603-569-6159 for further information.

Live Music at the Lake - Summer Concert Series at the Pavilion If you love being outdoors, and you also love good music, you’re in luck this summer. Presented by Meredith Village Savings Bank and coordinated by Tuftonboro Parks and Recreation, a series of outdoor concerts is underway at the town’s pavilion, located at 19 Mile Bay Beach Pavilion, on Bay Road in Tuftonboro, right next to the shores of the lake. Bring a blanket or chair for seating on the beach or lawn. There is no need to pack snacks or drinks, because concessions will be for sale. All are welcome to enjoy an evening of fine music. The series offers a variety of musical styles, with a July 23 concert featuring Music in the Mountains/NH Music Festival, followed by Big Medicine on July 27. The concerts begin at 6:30 pm. While the concerts are free to the public, a free-will offering will be accepted, with proceeds benefitting the Tuftonboro Scholarship Fund. The New Hampshire Music Festival has been bringing the finest in classical music to listeners for many years. Their Tuftonboro concert is part of the Festival’s popular Music in the Mountains series. Big Medicine Band is made up of musicians whose years of experience have come together seamlessly and with the ease of a timeless ballad. Charlie Zatzkin was most recently a member

Big Medicine of the local “Traveling Wolfeburys”. He played for years in and around Philadelphia. He was lead singer and guitarist for “Probable Cause” and was seen on local TV dance shows and in clubs at the Jersey Shore. Bruce Berger, drummer, was lead singer and a founding member of “44 Magnum” from Manchester, whose success was well known as they were followed throughout New England. Lynn (Hughes) Berger plays keys and has performed her songs in Italy, Austria, Sedona Arizona and in many New Hampshire venues. Bud Clark on bass is a main staple of many local bands, most recently with The Carolyn Ramsay Band. His 30 years of experience make him uniquely qualified to bring rhythm to rock and

R&B with ease. Big Medicine is well-known locally, having played New Year’s gigs and Hobbs Tavern, and special events at Wolfetrap Grill and Rawbar. They were the opening act for James Montgomery and Barry Goudreau at Pitman’s Freight Room in Laconia. Their set lists consist of classic rock from Eagles, Beatles, 60’s hits, Motown and lots of surprises, all designed to take you back comfortably to a simpler time. For more information on the concerts, visit www.tuftonboro.org, or email parksandrec@tuftonboro.org.

Remember the Days of Bob Hope and Radio Programs On Saturday, July 22, celebrity impersonator, singer, and comedian Lynn Roberts and his sidekick Chuck Carson perform On the Air: A Tribute to Bob Hope and the Radio Stars of the 1940s. In a special performance for the Wright Museum of World War II, Rogers and Carson recreate a 1940s radio program. The show, which will be held at Brewster Academy’s Anderson Hall (205 South Main Street, Wolfeboro), runs from 7 to 8:45 pm. (Doors open at 6 pm.) Limited parking is available, and additional parking is within walking distance. Tickets are $18 general admission and can be ordered online at (www. eventbrite.com/e/a-tribute-to-bobhope-the-radio-stars-of-the-1940stickets-32687464085), by phone at 603-569-1212 or at the Wright Museum. Seating is first come, first served. In the days before television and video streaming, families and friends would gather around their radios to listen to drama, adventure, and comedy shows. The radio brought Americans

together by creating a common culture everyone shared. The programs were presented live, including the sound effects and commercials. Bob Hope, Jack Benny, Jimmy Durante, and Red Skelton were four of the top-rated radio comedians. Their humor was especially important during World War II because it not

only brought Americans together for a united purpose but also helped a war-weary public forget, if only for 30 minutes, the carnage read in the daily newspapers and seen in movie newsreels. On the Air takes you back to those days when radio was king by recreating an NBC radio comedy show from the 1940s. Lynn Roberts impersonates Bob Hope, Jack Benny, Jimmy Durante, and Red Skelton. When you see Roberts on stage, it’s difficult to tell him from the real comedians. Chuck Carson acts as the announcer and does the sound effects and the commercials. The show provides an evening of nostalgia for older folks and introduces younger folks to a unique form of entertainment they’re bound to enjoy. On the Air is made possible with support from Linda Matchett and contributions from Pam McKinley, Sugar Hill Retirement Community, Carole Wright, Phil Holberton and Anne Blodget, and Paul O’Brien. The Wright Museum of World War II, located at 77 Center Street, Wolfeboro, NH is open daily until October 31. The Museum is a notfor-profit educational institution that focuses on the American home front as well as on the war front during World War II.

Bayswater Finds Rare Kennedy Letter The recently transformed used book section of Bayswater Books in Center Harbor now takes up the entire second floor of the store and contains thousands of used books—some old, some newer—to choose from. The staff soon found that older books sometimes come with discoveries of what has been left in them by a previous owner. While shelving titles a few weeks ago, a Bayswater employee made such a discovery and came across a rare find: two letters from United States Senators, both dating from February, 1971, neatly preserved in a random used book. The first letter was from Senator J. W. Fulbright, then the chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, responding to a letter from a Massachusetts citizen who was expressing concern about the Vietnam War-related incidents that took place in the Gulf of Tonkin in 1964. The second letter was from Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy, as he responded to the same citizen regarding further conflicts in Cambodia. Senator Fulbright enclosed a copy of the Senate hearings regarding the Gulf of Tonkin incidents with his letter, while Senator Kennedy attempted to assure that he would do all possible to put an end to the unpopular military conflict. “The letters simply tumbled out of a book and I couldn’t believe what I was looking at,” reflects Bayswater owner/ manager Michelle Taft. In addition to the Fulbright and Kennedy letters, the Bayswater used

book section has now become a treasure trove of additional “found” items. Everything from pictures, old test score reports, letters written to others and so much more have been discovered hidden in the pages of these donated books. Rare titles have been found, as well. As the interesting, rare (and sometimes humorous) items began to pile up, the staff has decided to share their discoveries with the public. Their finds are now shown and described in the weekly “Find of the Week on the Used Book Floor” blog that can be found on the Bayswater website at bayswaterbooks.com. With or without the interesting finds, the used book section has become a thriving part of the store. The addition of the used book section has also allowed Bayswater to continue to donate to various schools and organizations throughout the community: something that has always been an integral part of Bayswater’s mission. “While we continue to make interesting discoveries, the used book floor primarily provides an opportunity for customers to purchase books at a great value. Who doesn’t love browsing a good used book section?” states Taft. Located in Senters Marketplace in Center Harbor, Bayswater Books is always looking for used book donations. They can be reached at 603253-8858 or by visiting the Bayswater website and/or Facebook page. Stop by the store to check out the used book floor for yourself—maybe you will discover the next treasure!

Artistry in Wood at Tuftonboro Free Library Master craftsman Nicholas Moore is Artist of the Month in July at the Tuftonboro Free Library. Moore carved his first bowl at the age of 13, but it took him nearly half a century to get back to his passion for woodworking. Since resuming his craft, Moore has taken over 150 hours of intense instruction. Currently, Moore creates gorgeous hand-turned bowls, burls, plates, platters, salt bowls, and custom pieces from both kiln dried and raw wood slabs. He sources woods of

domestic and international origin, including some from Tuftonboro trees, all selected to showcase unique grain patterns, colors, and textures. Many pieces in the exhibit are available for sale, and Moore has generously pledged a portion of proceeds to the library. The exhibit is open for viewing during regular library hours through July 29. The Tuftonboro Free ibrary is located at 221 Middle Rd in Center Tuftonboro. Call 603-569-4256.

Yester year Intrepid NH Women History tells us New Hampshire is full of brave men, learned men and artistic men. But what about women, who worked quietly alongside their fathers, brothers and husbands as artists and businesspeople at a time when females had few rights or were not allowed to work in “manly” fields? It is a given that rural life in the 1700s and 1800s was not easy for families. Women were not spared when it came to hardships; indeed, the added risk of childbirth put them in an even more precarious position. It is a good thing that Lucy Crawford had courage and vision, because she would need it when she traveled to the White Mountains to care for her grandfather. The year was 1817 and it was a time when many young ladies did not venture down the street unaccompanied, let alone the distant northern area of NH, as Lucy did. She also lived in a time period when marrying a cousin was acceptable. After her grandfather passed away, Lucy married her cousin,

Ethan Allen Crawford. According to Taking the Lead: Women and the White Mountains by Marcia Schmidt Blaine, newlyweds Ethan and Lucy Crawford took over the running of the inn her grandparents had owned, and expanded it as more travelers made their way to the mountains. Tourists were arriving to explore the beautiful mountains, and they needed lodgings. The Crawfords must have seen the opportunity and not only grew the inn, but acted as guides for those who wanted to hike the mountains. With 10 children, life was busy for Lucy, but she did it all: home chores, preparing food, running the inn and providing bed and board for tourists in the summer, and business travelers and woodsmen in the winter. Life indeed was sometimes unfair and always full of work for Lucy. Her firstborn child died and a short time later, the Crawford’s house was destroyed by fire. It is amazing that she continued on, with straightened financial circumstances.

Turns out there are many women who quietly went about their lives and changed the world around in their own way. One such woman, Marjory Gane Harkness, authored a popular book titled The Tamworth Narrative in the 1950s. It is an exhaustive look at the people and happenings in Tamworth, Marjory’s adopted home. Marjory came from a wealthy family and married and moved eventually to Tamworth. According to the article Coming to Terms With Marjory Gane Harkness by Doug McVicar (in The Tamworth Civic News, July 2015), Marjory married Frank Harkness, a Chicago lawyer. Most likely Marjory was a typical wife of her time, supporting her husband by creating a comfortable home, socializing and traveling with him. The couple had visited the Wonalancet area, and it became a refuge for Marjory when her husband died suddenly in the 1930s. The widow could have done what countless women before her had done: mourn and then eventually remarry. But Marjory, for some reason, chose a more independent path. She wrote Notes of Being a Widow, which was published in the Atlantic Monthly. It was quite an accomplishment for a recently widowed person, but it showed Marjory’s talent. She had courage as well, as seen by her move from bustling Chicago to tranquil Wonalancet. McVicar wrote in Coming to Terms With Marjory Gane Harkness, that she eventually moved to Tamworth center and sold real • Yesteryear Continued on page 35

Not many women were writing books in Lucy’s time, but she was another trailblazer in this arena as well. Her book, History of the White Mountains, written in around 1845, is an account of life in the mountains and the relatives and travelers in the area. According to Taking the Lead: Women and the White Mountains by Marcia Schmidt Blaine, the book that Lucy penned also is a record of early female hikers, women writers and mountain legends. Lucy wrote of a “female first”, recounting the first women to climb Mount Washington. The story of that climb is fascinating. Three sisters, who were originally from the seacoast area of NH, had moved with their family to Jefferson. These young women also were trailblazers; they wanted to be the first females to climb the big mountain and they went to the Crawfords with their plan. Abigail, Eliza and Harriet Austin asked for the help of Lucy and her husband, Ethan in 1821. Ethan knew the trails and pathways all over the area, and he was able to give them directions up Mount Washington; although it took a few days to accomplish their task, the trek was a success. Lucy saw it all and wrote about it, but she too wanted to make the hike up Mount Washington. She did so eventually with visitors from Boston in 1825, it is written, against the wishes of her husband who thought it was too strenuous a hike for his wife. Clearly Ethan underestimated Lucy, who made it to the mountain top and later wrote, “We could look in every direction and view the works of nature as they lay spread before us…”

NH public libraries: Your local source to borrow downloadable eBooks and audiobooks by Michael York You know you can borrow hardcover and paperback books from libraries. But did you know that most public libraries in New Hampshire also offer downloadable books that you can borrow and read or listen to on your tablet, eReader or smartphone, free of charge? Through the New Hampshire Downloadable Books program, public libraries of all sizes offer their patrons a wide assortment of eBooks and digital audiobooks. These digital materials can be borrowed for two weeks and are available 24 hours a day, every day. The NHDB collection includes more than 10,000 eBook titles and there’s something to appeal to readers of all interests, from popular fiction to mysteries to romance to just about any category you can imagine. And they’re not just for adult readers, either. Students will find New Hampshire’s “Great Stone Face” award nominees, Young Adult best sellers and titles that may be on their school reading lists. Parents of pre-readers can even

download read-along storybooks to their smartphones that narrate the story and highlight words as children follow along. Some of the most popular downloadables aren’t the books that you read, but ones that you listen to, and there’s something for everyone here, too: in addition to best-sellers, you’ll find indie reads, thrillers, historical fiction, science fiction, current events and more among the 8,000+ titles in the downloadable audio collection. Twenty public libraries joined the New Hampshire Downloadable Books program when the New Hampshire State Library began administering it in 2006; today, more than 200 libraries are part of the service. In the past year, New Hampshire library patrons downloaded an average of 2,523 items each week, up from 1,075 each week just five years ago. People love downloadable eBooks for lots of reasons: some readers enjoy browsing for and then checking out books using their electronic devices; travelers on the go appreciate that eBooks mean they can have something

to read but not something additional to carry with them; and others simply prefer holding an electronic device instead of a print book. EBooks are also adaptable, so if you have vision issues, you can easily change the size of the print and have a better reading experience. And downloadable audiobooks are extremely versatile: they can be enjoyed when reading a book isn’t possible, for example, while commuting to work, gardening, knitting or doing chores. Some audiobook fans simply like to hear a story come alive. Buying an eBook can be almost as expensive as purchasing the print version, but downloading titles from a NHDB member library is always

AF TE R

free for patrons, just like borrowing a print book is. And belonging to NHDB saves New Hampshire public libraries money, too, because they are joining forces to make what is essentially a group purchase. Want to learn more? Visit nh.overdrive.com to see what’s available, and be sure to visit your own public library to learn more about downloadable eBooks and audiobooks. NOTE: This is the seventh in a series of articles that will be released monthly throughout 2017 as part of the celebration of the N.H. State Library’s 300th anniversary. The State Library was founded in Jan. 25, 1717 and is the ﬁrst state library in America.

• Yesteryear Continued from page 34 estate and continued to write. Some of her works were amusing sketches of daily life and she sold them to the New Yorker, among other well-known magazines. Life in the country was likely quite different than Chicago, without the conveniences of city life. A woman living alone in an isolated area such as Tamworth might have been lonely or fearful, but it seemed Marjory settled into Tamworth quite well. Perhaps she found new friends in the village; in 1945 her book A Brook of Our Own: A few notes from the ﬁles of a mountain real estate ofﬁce was published. It was an unusual title but full of Marjory’s humor told in a nonfiction manner. Marjory must have enjoyed the outdoor life, and according to Sandwich, New Hampshire 17631990 by The Sandwich Historical Society, she joined Katherine Sleeper Walden, a local conservation activist, in campaigning to have the Sandwich Range included in the White Mountain

National Forest. Marjory wrote a 300-plus-page book, The Tamworth Narrative, which was a history of the area. Full of stories and historical photos, it traces the history of the area with such chapters as South Tamworth: From Indian Trail to Through Route and The Pink Granite Cone in the Lake. Her writings are a look at life as she lived it in a small town; she passed away in the 1970s. Marjory wrote about many things, among them an account of the popular New Hampshire Music Festival and its beginnings titled New Hampshire Music Festival: First Twelve Years. No matter the time period intrepid women were born into, they called New Hampshire home, leaving a lasting mark and many contributions along the way. The tales of Lucy Crawford’s bravery and ability to continue on in the face of hardships and the strength and independence of Marjory Gane Harkness to leave the city and live and work in a quiet place in rural New Hampshire are the stories of such intrepid and courageous women.

You Should See My Other Ride… Story and photo by Barbara Neville Wilson If you haven’t already visited the new North East Motor Sports Museum in Loudon, you should. It doesn’t matter if you are a true racing geek, a kid just learning to turn the wheels on your pedal car, or someone just looking to get out of the heat on a muggy summer day.

July 17, 2017 • Ride Continued from page 36 the world, and far and away today, the most prestigious. Run on a road course, its circuit is just under 8.5 miles and includes straightaways, hills and curves of varying intensities. Speeds can surpass 220 mph (the top speed ever registered was 251, I read later), but some of the tight curves require speed reductions to 50 or 60 mph. The cars are categorized by classes and must meet strict standards. The team is built around the car which, in turn, is built around a chassis (body) built to strict standards and a power plant built to strict standards, too. To qualify for Le Mans, the car must have proved itself, meeting specifications and running successfully in prescribed conditions at certified speeds. Since the cars in a particular class are all close in physical characteristics, it is the drivers that can make all the difference. At Le Mans, each car has a team of three to four drivers who must each drive continuously and cumulatively for prescribed time periods over 24 hours. Teams will clock upwards of 3,000 miles during the race. At the Motor Sports Museum, the striking blue Lola sits regally on the floor, as if waiting for her minions to pay homage. And I do. I approach gently and start to notice decals, like “Zytek” and a list, “Bill Binnie”, “Allen Timpany” “Chris Buncombe.” Binnie won Le Mans in his class twice, the last time taking the LMP-2 Class in 2007 when Binnie was both owner and driver. And the back fin bears witness to it as a coup: “Binnie Boys With

Page 37 Bounce Back Ability.” In an article in the September 15, 2007 Planetlemans, Gabriel Portos interviewed Binnie just after the win. Racing had been part of Binnie’s life since young adulthood. He met success when he was barely out of his teens with Formula Fords and Atlantics. Like so many of us, he put his hobby away while building his career and raising a family and returned to racing in middle age. He became a works driver for Lotus, and took it to the next level of driving in Endurance races with an Intersports Team in 2003 and 2004, winning at Le Mans with their car in 2004. Ivy League educated and by this time, a successful business leader, Binnie found he wanted a more pivotal role in the teams he was part of. He told Portos, “…I wanted more control on how things were run at the team. So after leaving the [Intersports] team I went and bought the Lola 05/40…” After great consideration, he put a Nicholson-McLaren power plant into the Lola, a decision that haunted them that whole season. “We did not even get invited for Le Mans in 2005; they knew I had been in the 2004 winning team as were most of my guys but that was not enough to get there so I ran on the WR that year, a complete disaster.” That’s where “Zytek” comes in. “… we bought the Zytek engine and I’ve never looked back since then. We got second in class at Le Mans in 2006 and we won this year while we’ve been on the podium at about half of our LMS races during the whole period.” He described his approach to the race

A Look Back at Sandwich Sandwich Happenings Past – Historical Items from the Sandwich Reporter By Diane Cook Johnson The following news items were from the local Sandwich Reporter paper in the 1880s and make for interesting reading. Vacationers and summer residents will find the news interesting – while vacationing over 100 years ago was certainly more sedate, these news items show that the area has been a haven for vacationers for many, many years. 1883: James Burrows and Isaac Smith have both made an addition to their buildings in the shape of a piazza, a very convenient appendage to a set of

buildings. The Rothschilds hold nearly one-fourth of the entire amount of United States bonds. The Crow Indians will be removed to their new reservation in the Big Horn valley. 1886: School did not keep last Monday on account of decoration day. Some of the districts in town have already worked out the highway tax allotted to them, but the roads are far from being what they should be. PA Olmstead gave an interesting and instructive reading at … Moultonboro … which concluded with stereopticon views of some of the principal battles

of the late Rebellion. Two Frenchmen passed through here yesterday, with a trained bear. Miss Laura Fogg has been in Boston for a few days purchasing goods and looking up styles for the interest of her dress making department of which she is doing a good business. Mrs. Joseph Berry is very sick and her recovery is doubtful. Mrs. Berry is the granddaughter of Ien Hilton, the first family to settle in Sandwich, walking from Exeter to this town, and first settled on the farm now owned by Wm Weed. They dug the first well in town. Mr. B.F. Shaw, the proprietor, has announced that Ossipee Park will not be open to visitors this summer … [it] is, no doubt, one of the pleasantest locations in this part of the state, situated on Shaw Mt … It is much sought after by tourists and travelers, and is a grand place for our summer boarders and residents to pass a day picnicking. [Note: This property is now known as Castle in the Clouds.] The selectmen have purchased and had placed in their room in Masonic Hall, this week, a safe for the use of the town. It is a large one, weighing about 4,000 pounds and cost $150.00. 1888: On Wednesday evening of last week, the Sandwich House was formally opened to the public by Henry F. Dorr, the new proprietor. This was formerly the Red Hill House, but recently has been occupied by the late CC Fel-

lows as a private residence. There was a grand supper and entertainment. Music by Meredith Orchestra. The house will conveniently accommodate about 30 guests. Joel Page has repaired his dam and will soon be running his mill again. 1889: State legislature acted to appropriate $10,000 to the Conemaugh sufferers. Joseph Quimby has taken the contract to build the new creamery. It is to be located where the old Lawrence mill used to stand, just out of the village at the center. 1896: Advertisement: Latest patterns in dimities at Heard’s. Selwin B. Clark will shortly occupy his log cabin on the North side of Bear Camp pond. 1897: John and Norman Hodge went to Manchester last Friday to see Bufallo (sic) Bill. Squam Lake is higher than it has been for forty years. Pedlars were quite plenty last week. 1899: A band of gypsies went through N Sandwich Monday morning. Rural Cemetery Assoc. formed. By the payment of fifty cents annually any person owning a lot in the cemetery may have the lot cared for by the association. The carpenters began work on the Foster cottage on White Ledge on Monday. Chas E Hoyt is to be engaged on the new house. JA Smith has been moving the John Burnham cottage this • Sandwich Continued on page 39

Bar-B-Que 101 - Chillin’ While Grillin’ By Chef Kelly Ross Although some of us weren’t sure if it would ever happen, summer is here! We all love and crave the warm weather for many reasons. It’s our chance to unwind from the past two (colder) seasons where we felt a bit confined to our homes. To some it’s about the beach, maybe hiking on the countless beautiful trails the area has to offer, vacations, going to a ball game, and for me, it means it’s time to BBQ and cook outdoors. Entertaining outside and showing off some great culinary treats without trashing the kitchen is a win/ win to me. Even though I have been a working chef and caterer for most of my life, some of my favorite foods are very simple and it’s likely many of you do a couple of these things already. For instance, soaking and then cooking corn on the cob in the husk right on the grill, cooking potatoes and/or fresh vegetables in tin foil with a blend of seasonings, and using the simplest of marinades on chicken or beef, such as Italian dressing. However, there are so many more great and tasty options out there. Simple with a twist goes a long way. For instance, a favorite for many is a very simple food: shrimp cocktail. Unless someone has a shellfish allergy, everyone seems to love shrimp and it’s extremely simple to make. However, I do mine with a twist that is always a huge hit. I usually prepare shrimp with a Southwestern flare. For starters,

make a homemade salsa. Dice a few tomatoes, a red onion, a green, orange and yellow pepper and place in a bowl. If you like a lot of heat, add a couple of hot peppers (use caution when cooking with hot peppers). Chop some fresh cilantro, add some chopped garlic, some chili powder and ground cumin as well as the juice of a lemon and a lime. I usually add a splash or two of Buffalo sauce as well. Mix it well and refrigerate. That can hold for a couple of days easily. As for cooking off the shrimp, the biggest problem most have when cooking shrimp and many seafood choices, is to overcook it. With this dish in particular, it is very important NOT to overcook because once the shrimp and salsa are combined, the salsa will continue to

cook the shrimp with the acidity of the citrus and the tomatoes. You do want the shrimp to turn white, but once they do, drain them and shock them in ice water to stop the cooking process. The key part now is not to combine the shrimp and salsa until a half hour before serving. Mix everything well and place in a bowl and then top with chopped scallions. This is so good! You won’t need cocktail sauce as your guests will inhale these shrimp as well as the salsa. Good stuff, and relatively simple. Almost everyone loves Buffalo wings. I don’t know many who do theirs on the grill, but there is no better way to prepare than grilling the wings. For starters, you need a sauce. I always suggest Franks Red Hot Sauce

as a base. From there, you can season accordingly. I like mine extra hot and with some sweetness to it. I add some cayenne pepper and sriracha sauce to add some heat, and then I add some honey and a touch of brown sugar. I heat on the stove just long enough to combine everything and for the sugar to dissolve. This sauce can be made in advance and refrigerated. Next, find a plastic container big enough for all the wings to fit into and that you can use specifically for wings in the future. Now you are ready to grill. Make sure your grill is clean and always spray your grill with a pan release spray. Then light your grill and let it get up to heat. I start cooking the wings without sauce. Close the lid and cook for five minutes or so on medium heat. Flip them over and go another five minutes. Now bring out the sauce and container. Put the sauce and wings into the container and put the lid on and shake them up well. With tongs, pull the wings out and pop back on the grill. Let go for a few minutes with the grill lid closed and flip them. I continue this process at least four times. The flavor of the chargrill combined with the sauce is what makes these wings much better than baked or fried Buffalo wings. I top them with chopped scallions and serve with a favorite bleu cheese dressing. You will find that the sauce’s flavor becomes a permanent part of the storage container no matter how • grillin’ Continued on page 41

Jazz singer Linda Pouliot is coming to Sanbornville for a concert on July 21. (Courtesy photo)

Linda Pouliot Jazz Comes to Sanbornville The Wakefield Opera House Summer Festival (on Fridays from 7/14-8/11) continues on Friday, July 21 with Linda Pouliot, Jazz Blues Vocalist at 7 pm following food at 6 pm. The concert will be held rain or shine in Turntable Park on Meadow Street, Sanbornville. Admission is free (donations are greatly appreciated), plus there will be a 50/50 Raffle. Sit back and relax and enjoy an evening of soulful entertainment. Writer Rick Franz says of Pouliot’s performance, “It really took me back. All of a sudden I’m back home in Chicago and it’s more than 20 years ago. She is a true jazz artist in the most traditional sense; a classic voice that reminds me as much of scratchy

recordings from the 1930s as it does of the dark, tiny bar so long ago in my own past.” Pouliot’s sets often include current singers Norah Jones, Amy Winehouse, Madeleine Peyroux and the songs of Billie Holiday and Bessie Smith, Etta James, Edith Piaf, Rina Ketty, Josephine Baker....the jazz standards, soulful blues, Gershwin and original tunes that inspire audiences and make them want more of her heartfelt vocal style. The next concert will be Seacoast Men of Harmony on July 28. For information visit Wakefield Opera House on Facebook.

much you wash it so I dedicate that one container just for wings. I have a container that is clean on the inside but is still permanently red! Another one of my “go to” grill items is also a simple thing with a fun great marinade: steak tips that melt in your mouth. It’s all in the prep and the marinade. I prefer using flap meat but any cut of beef works. It’s up to your preference and budget but flap meat is perfect. It does require some prep as it needs some of the silver skin to be removed depending on how you buy it. If you cook a lot of tips, I strongly recommend that you purchase a needler. To those not sure what that is, it is a small cartridge of sorts containing many little knives. Once the meat is cleaned up, take that and stab the hunk of meat repeatedly. Then, cut your tips to your liking. Cutting against the grain is important. Once you have tenderized and cut the meat, add your marinade. With the meat stabbed as it is, the marinade gets inside the meat which makes your tips much more flavorable and tender. Your marinade will determine how long you should marinade the tips. If the marinade is

high in acidity, you shouldn’t marinade for more than a couple of hours as the acid will actually start cooking the meat. Here is one of my all time favorite marinades….. one part teriyaki sauce one part real or fake maple syrup one part of your favorite BBQ sauce half part applesauce half part sesame oil half part buffalo sauce 2 cloves of chopped garlic salt and pepper to season ½ cup sesame seeds This marinade might seem odd, but the blend of flavors is tremendously tasty. I recommend letting the steak marinade for a day. When grilling, again spray the grill with pan release. Once the grill is smoking hot, place the tips on the grill. Close for a few minutes but stay near the grill. Open the lid. Don’t flip the tips yet, but leave the lid open for a few minutes and periodically check the down side of a tip or two. The sugar in the syrup can burn if you don’t pay attention, but letting them caramelize a little adds to the greatness of the tips. I like them slightly blackened. It gives them great flavor. Slightly burnt on the outside and nice and red in the middle for me is instant joy. Enjoy!

The Story of Grapenut the Loon Common Loons have a very distinct and haunting call often heard eerily echoing across New Hampshire’s lakes in the summertime. Loons communicate with each other using four main calls known as the tremolo, wail, yodel, and hoot. The most common calls are a wailing laugh and a mournful yodel. Listening to the sounds, observers can often distinguish calls made by specific loons from others in the area. Squam Lakes Natural Science Center offers an opportunity for visitors to hear loon calls without venturing to the lake, through the recordings of a loon in a book called “Adventures with Grapenut.” New Hampshire is home to many Loon and chick; courtesy photo. loons including the lone chick that goes by the name of Grapenut.

There and Back Again – Hampshire England’s Literary History (A New Hampshire girl goes to England) Story and Photo by Abby Scott I’ve spent the past few months studying literature at Oxford University in the U.K., and I’ve found one of the biggest benefits of being a New Englander in, well, Old England is knowing how to pronounce town names. Gloucester? No problem. Worcester? That’s easy. Manchester? I can do it in my sleep. The same is true for counties, and when I boarded a bus—or as the British say, coach—a few weeks back to the county Hampshire, I had a feeling I was in for a treat. Hampshire borders on the southern

coast of England, just north of the Isle of Wight, and is just over an hour outside of London by train (arguably the best and fastest way to see the English countryside). The bus from Oxford took us through rolling hills and past farmhouses that had likely been standing since before the United States was founded. The Winchester Cathedral was no different. It is one of the largest of its kind, with a 1,500-year history. The Anglo-Saxons first founded a church on its site in the late 600s, and because of a legend surrounding the martyred Saint Swithun who was buried in the

Winchester Cathedral, the site of Jane Austen’s burial, in Winchester, Hampshire, England.

church, it became a popular site of pilgrimage. After the Norman Invasion in 1066 (one of the most important dates in British history, I’ve learned) a new cathedral was constructed. Though the cathedral has been remodeled into an English Gothic style, the original Norman transepts, tower, and crypt still stand. After its renovation into the Gothic style, reformers smashed the cathedrals massive western window during Henry VIII’s establishment of the Church of England. Parishioners of the cathedral pieced together the broken windows into what is now a beautiful proto-abstract stained glass window. The window’s colored light casts

shadows on the tombstones that dot the floor of the cathedral. Just a few yards away, beside an ornate font, is the tombstone of perhaps one of the most famous Hampshirites: Jane Austen. Funnily enough, there’s no mention of her literary achievements on the stone, just a simple epitaph about her personality: “The benevolence of her heart, the sweetness of her temper, and the extraordinary endowments of her mind obtained the regard of all who knew her and the warmest love of her intimate connections.” Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility,

• Back Again Continued from page 44 and Emma have become staples of any book-lover’s shelf, and the countless movie adaptations add even more to Austen’s modern popularity—many of my friends still swoon over the thought of Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice. Later, as I ate lunch on the lawn outside of the Cathedral, I reflected on the impact Austen has had on the literary world over the centuries. I couldn’t help but imagine her, years earlier, poring over scribbled out stories as I did as a child. The British Library, in fact, houses a collection of her childhood writings (you can see some of it online), and while they often deal with issues that would never appear in her more cultured later novels, they nonetheless point to the writer she would soon become. The “extraordinary endowments of her mind” as her tombstone reads, were evident even at a young age, and walking the streets of Winchester to the yellow-brick house where she spent her final hours was something of a writerly pilgrimage. Winchester’s literary history doesn’t stop with Jane Austen, though. I was surprised to learn in a lecture before the trip that in the early twentiethcentury, a manuscript of Sir Arthur Malory’s Le Morte Darthur (“The Death of Arthur”) was found. Malory’s work isn’t widely read outside of the literary community, but it is from this collection of stories that many of our modern retellings of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table stem. As I had spent a semester reading Middle English (the English language that appears after the Norman Invasion of 1066—told you it was an important date) texts that included a portion of Malory’s work, it was exciting to be in the city where it was rediscovered. It’s even rumored that Winchester is the site of ancient (and mythical) Camelot where Arthur held his court. If you wander through the streets of

Winchester and make your way to The Great Hall you just might catch another glimpse of Arthurian legend. In the Hall, which in itself is impressive since it has been in use since the early 1200s, there is a large round table sitting on the wall that looks a bit like a giant dart board. If you look closer, though, you’ll notice the names of the Knights of Camelot inscribed on its edges, indicating where each knight would sit in relation to King Arthur, whose spot at the table is marked by a painting of a king holding a sword. While this green, white, and red table was believed to be the real Round Table of legend for a while, the yellow and white rose at its center tells a different story and the king at the top of the table looks suspiciously like King Henry VIII. In fact, the rose and the likeness of Henry VIII suggest that the table was made during the Tudor period, long after Arthur was supposedly king. Still, it was fun to imagine Lancelot, Gawain, and Arthur gathered around the table, sharing stories of their knightly adventures. Boarding the bus at the end of the day, I couldn’t help but feel a connection with the literary past of Winchester. I’d walked where Jane Austen spent her final days and traipsed across the landscape that served as Malory’s Camelot. I know I’ll never be able to read Jane Austen or Thomas Malory’s work again without thinking of my day in Winchester, and the experience has made me excited to learn about the literary history of New Hampshire. Sure, I can tell you a lot about Robert Frost, but did you know that J.D. Salinger, author of The Catcher in the Rye, lived in Cornish? I sure didn’t! This summer, I’m making it my mission to learn more about my state’s literary history—once I’m back in the States, that is. (Editors note: college-student Abby Scott writes occasionally for The Laker. We look forward to her submissions and miss her when she heads back to school in the fall!)

Lakes Region Music and Arts Day Camp Gearing Up for Third Season The Lakes Region will be alive with music and arts this summer, especially during the week of August 7-11. That’s when the Lakes Region Music and Arts Day Camp will begin its third season as a full day, 8:30 am to 4 pm, camp experience for students aged 9-14. The brainchild of Director Karen Jordan, this camp is unlike any other in the area in its mixture of offerings and opportunities for students. “We have such a great resource of talented music and art teachers in this region that it only makes sense to offer a specialized camp,” says Jordan. “Our mission will be to maximize the potential of each child through a quality curriculum that will stimulate thought and learning, in a safe and caring environment.”

Today’s young music lovers may be the musicians of the future. (Courtesy photo) Four experienced instructors will make up the staff. Music educator Phil Breton taught music in the Laconia School System for 31 years, and accompanies community theater groups, is an organist at Gilford’s First United Methodist Church, and plays the viola with the Lakes Region

Symphony Orchestra. Alison Witham, an art educator at Laconia High School, is certified to teach music and art for grades K-12, and is a flutist with the Lakes Region Symphony Orchestra. Vickie Wood Parrish is an accomplished musician on the French horn, a pianist, and a retired pastor who also holds a degree in music education. Camp Director Karen Jordan is a professional singer/actress, current director of the Lakes Region Singers and Youth Chorus, and the Wesley Choir at the First United Methodist Church, and past director of choral music at Inter-Lakes High School in Meredith. The camp will offer students options to participate in beginner or experienced instrumental lessons, basic keyboard skills, bell choir, LRM&A Camp Chorus, vocal training, drumming, beginner guitar, art classes, and again this year, every camper will learn to play the violin, the rental of which is included in the tuition. The week’s activities will culminate on Friday with a Showcase that parents and the public are welcome to attend. The great thing about learning to play the violin is that the fingerings are very

much like the guitar and most students will be able to transition if they desire to. “The campers will be allowed to work at their own pace,” says Jordan, “while also being encouraged to try new things.” Campers should bring their own instruments if they have them. The camp’s setting will be at the First United Methodist Church in Gilford. According to Jordan, “The church has generously offered to sponsor us, and their support was integral in making this project become a reality. The building is perfect for our use, and the well-landscaped grounds will be wonderful for taking many activities outside.” Dates for the camp will be August 7 to 11, Monday through Friday, 8:30 am to 4 pm, and the planners would like registration and payment to be completed by July 22. Cost for the camp will be $240 for the week, which includes violin rental. There are a limited number of scholarships available, and alternative drop-off or pick-up times can be arranged for a small fee, if needed. While classes are expected to be small, there is no size cap at present. Campers should plan to bring their own lunches and snacks, but the church will provide drinks throughout the day. For more information, scholarship details or registration forms, please contact Director Karen Jordan at 524-0835, the First United Methodist Church office at 524-3289 or email soprano00134@gmail.com. The camp also has a Facebook page
