The Lure of the Devil’s Den

By Mark Foynes When the devil beckons you must come.

Okay, maybe not - but a hike out to Devil’s Den, located between New Durham’s Merrymeeting Lake and Gilman’s Pond in Alton is a great moderate-level hike to an out-of-the way 1,100-foot outcropping, which features unique stone formations, a series of caves, and spectacular views of Lake Winnipesaukee from a vantage known only to the most explorative.

The best way to access the Devil’s Den is via North Shore Road in New Durham. The hike is maybe a couple miles up a moderate grade; we wish we’d brought our pedometer to get a precise hiking distance.

To get there you can hop on Rte 11.

Just past Johnson’s Seafood & Steak, peel on to Depot Street. You’ll scoot by the Freewill Baptist church (founded in New Durham, but that’s another story we hope to tell). This will bring you into the village area of New Durham. You’ll get to a four corners: the general store will be on your right and the town hall on your left. At the stop sign put your left blinker on and drive accordingly. After a short bit - right where the Bickfords manage an ancestral farm - and just before the old Foxy Johnny’s Restaurant is Merrymeeting Road. Turn right, and just past the fish hatchery there will be a split in the road; veer left a bit but do not take Powder Mill Road which would bring you eventually back to Route 11.

The road you want is North Shore Road.

A seasonal hike at the Devil’s Den.

By this point you are at the lake and will be driving parallel to Merrymeeting Lake.

Off North Shore there’s an old logging road that the town has classified as Class XI. That’s the trailhead. A gunner might attempt to drive up a bit. Even though I drive a Silverado 1500, I just park in the modest little lot on the left hand side of the road and hoof it up the whole way.

There’s no formal kiosk that represents something of a welcome mat for trekkers.

But the land is publicly accessible.

Parking is limited, but it’s generally ample unless you’re unfortunate to want to hike on the occasional day when a group of rock climbers decide to make a group trip. (The granite feature includes a vertical uprising, which is ideal for

climbers to ply their skills).

The day I hiked to the Den was part of a trek coordinated by the New Durham Recreation Department. There were about a dozen of us - some first time explorers, others longtime visitors to the locale.

We walked by old stonewalls suggesting an agricultural heritage.

Being a history guy, I was drawn to and distracted by a disused cellar hole.

(After peeking about for a bit, I had to run uphill about 300 yards to catch up with the group,) As the elevation increased, there were fewer signs of human impact. Stonewalls that once defined now disused pastures were no longer visible. Mature stands of beech, pine and oak surrounded us;

for perhaps a mile there was nary a sign of human impact. That said, most of the trees appeared less than a century old.

So I suspect that at one time the land was upland grazing that reverted to woodlands after the Merino sheep boom of the 1820s and likely logged at some point in the 1900s.

Historically, the Devil’s Den became something of a destination for tourists in the 1870s and 1880s, according to New Durham town historian Cathy Orlowicz. Initially, town leaders and booster groups across the state began promoting New Hampshire as a place to come home to. (And eventually, old home weeks were championed by Governor Frank West Rollins in a sort of sideways way of hoping out-of-staters would purchase abandoned farmsteads as second homes.)

“It was a time when rural parts of the state began promoting themselves as places for tourists to visit,” she noted.

According to legend, if you stand at one part of the cave’s interior, “You can hear the devil howl,” Orlowicz explained, although she said she hadn’t heard the sound herself. It might be Old Scratch himself or maybe just the movement of air and wind. Visitors can decide for themselves.

When you get there, you’ll be greeted by a massive stone formation.

Within it there are several caves. The principal cave is fairly wide at its entrance. It becomes narrower - and • Devil’s Den Continued on page 5

Meredith Sculpture Walk Tours Have Begun Docents who have been trained about the background of the various sculptures placed in Meredith’s village and parks will lead tours of the 2018 Meredith Sculpture Walk this summer. There are 26 new pieces on display, along with six returning pieces from last year.

Docents will explain the creative process of the artists while they were sculpting their pieces, as well as the materials and construction. In its fifth year, the Sculpture Walk is an opportunity to learn more about the public art that has been installed by the Meredith Sculpture Walk Committee of the Greater Meredith Program (GMP).

Tours depart from in front of Oglethorpe’s Fine Arts and Crafts located in the Mill Falls Marketplace on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 10 am during July and August. In September, tours will be on Saturdays at 10 am. Special group tours can be arranged by emailing GMP@ greatermeredithprogram.com or calling

Sandwich Home Industries Offers Two Felting Classes in August Sandwich Home Industries, the fine crafts gallery of Center Sandwich, NH welcomes local craftsperson, Diane Johnson, who will be teaching two felting workshops at the League shop in Sandwich on August 2, 3 and 11.

The first class is for families to create a project together. Wee Felting World - Family Project will be held in two sessions: August 2 and 3 from 10 am to noon. Tuition is $85 per family of three or four, materials included. At least one adult must accompany children age 3 and up. Both large and small families are welcome! In Session 1 participants will create fields, a pond, flowers, a shelter, and paths. Session 2 teaches

how to make a tree, some rocks or bushes, an animal, and a person or two (it could also be a fairy, gnome, or mermaid). Everyone works on different parts and then combines everything into one interactive project.

On August 11, from 10 am to noon, Diane will teach Simply Sandwich Souvenir - using wool from local sheep, goats, and alpacas to create a unique Sandwich Souvenir. Whether you live in the area year-round, come to Sandwich seasonally, or are visiting the area for the first time, this is a chance to make a truly personal souvenir of Sandwich.

You may choose to make a sheep, an angora goat, or an alpaca. The core wool

to have been hideouts for horse thieves or gypsies. Other caves I heard of were used as troves for smugglers and the like. With Devil’s Den, the real treasures are the hikes out there, checking out a pretty cool cave, and the view from the summit.

“It’s pretty fantastic,” said Orlowicz.

“You can look down from up there and see birds in flight.”

(Editor’s note: when hiking a spot such as Devil’s Den, it is advisable to go in a group, and to let someone know your travel plans, approximate time of arrival and when you expect to be back.

Dress accordingly for hiking; bring your cell phone, water, and a warm sweater or coat and some snacks. And always, be careful when entering the woods, going off main roads and climbing.)

darker as you spelunk deeper. At the cavity’s terminus, there’s a rope that a really skinny (and brave) person could mount and ascend to the mountain summit. (I did not, preferring instead to exit the cave and take an exterior trail to the peak.)

Once atop the mountain, the views are remarkable. And they vary according to the seasons. In the summer, you will see lush and verdant stands of hardwoods.

The foliage is also beautiful from up there, with red maples mingling with the yellows of beeches, the slightly violet tinges of ashes, and the perennial greens of white pines.

A lot of these types of sites have bits of lore attached to them. Some are said

will come from one of the sheep at the Sandwich Creamery (after class, you can take your project to the Creamery, eat some ice cream and visit the sheep and cows). The surface fleece will come from an animal that lives in town.

Along with that wool fleece, you will receive a picture with the name of the animal from which the fiber was shorn.

The Fluid Life of the Chain Saw Carver

By Barbara Neville Wilson I stand at the base of the 24-foot debarked tree trunk, gawking into the roof of an eagle’s open mouth overhead. “Am I seeing right?”

I yell upwards. “Is the roof of its mouth TEXTURED?” “Yeah!” the artist yells down.

“How’d you do it?”

“With the tip of my chain saw.”

I gape. “Really?” I try to focus my camera but can’t get a good picture.

“May I come up?”

And that’s how I find myself on a 17-foot high platform in the middle of a field inches away from a six-foot wooden eagle with wings raised, mouth open, neck slightly curved and eyes focused down as if looking at something just out of sight to its left.

The location could not be more magnificent. I glance forward and see the Sandwich Mountains spread wide, backdrop to the freshly painted, new roofed, smartly landscaped Isaac Adams Homestead. To my left is a ribbon of asphalt, NH Highway 109N, Wentworth Hill Road, where cars pull over intermittently to gawk at the artist called Alex and his 30foot art.

Carver Alex is perched on the scaffolding. His left hand holds a palette of black, white and red acrylic paint; his right hand carefully

strokes a ribbon of white from the eagle’s talon and across the totem’s curve.

He tells me this is just the first phase of the project: the eagle carries the American flag. The second phase will reveal the eagle sitting atop a bear. In the third phase, the bear will sit atop a dragon. The bear represents Russia, and the dragon, what? China, Alex tells me. This is a commissioned work, he says. He leaves it to John Dolan of the Isaac Adams Homestead to explain the imagery.

It represents our nation, John tells me. “It is not a symbol from the right or the left but from the view point of the believers in freedom and the constitution. The motto for New Hampshire is live free or die…and it is important for people to remember...”

Specifically, he says, “The totem represents the United States on top of its two biggest adversaries: Russia and China. I thought it was indicative of the world atmosphere today and the politically charged climate that we live in. It is just a symbol of our beautiful country. I believe in my heart that we are the greatest experiment still unfolding, even with all our problems and it is important to maintain our position • Carver Continued on page 8

as the leader of free speech and tolerance throughout the world.”

He points to his neighbor Harry Batchelder—and a really big winter storm—as the seed planters of the project. Harry served in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War and, perhaps as a consequence, became a champion of the downtrodden, the un-loveable. About a year ago, Harry showed up at Alex’s home asking him to carve him a “really sad monk.”

“It’s funny,” almost serendipitous, says Alex. He had been away from home for a months-long road trip and had barely pulled into the driveway when Harry arrived saying, “I’ve been looking for you.”

Alex didn’t know what to make of the octogenarian in his driveway.

In his years of carving, he’s gotten used to a lot of tire kickers, he says, but Harry was totally serious. He described the project and showed him a faded photograph taken in Southeast Asia decades ago. They talked, and then deposit in hand, Alex sketched possibilities. He soon

Your Where-To-Go, What-To-Do Guide for the Lakes Region

NEW ENGLAND’S PREMIERE ADVENTURE DESTINATION

found himself in Harry’s driveway on Wentworth Hill. John Dolan watched the project unfold and when a January storm downed his huge spruce, he knew just what he wanted to do with it.

The tree is the largest Alex has ever carved. Before the trunk was trimmed, it was topped by a triple bower. The bower was so gigantic that even after de-limbing, it stands four-feet tall in John Dolan’s meadow. It’s a monster, Alex says.

People watching this project will see Alex out in nearly any weather, using only a chainsaw, a 4 ½” sander and burning tools. Today he’s finishing this first phase of the work with oil, stain, acrylic paint, and spar varnish, which is specially formulated for marine—read “rough weather”— applications.

But before he ever lays saw teeth to wood, Alex sits with the owner and listens carefully to their vision. He offers thoughts, and often the budget forces adjustments to be made, but however possible, he tries to make it work. Nature herself, however, often takes the last word.

Alex points to one of his favorite projects: Scott Rice wanted to see his three dogs carved into the trunk of a tree that was threatening to come down on his home. Alex sketched out the project, Scott approved it, and Alex began, only to have his plans suddenly change. Four feet into the piece, he found red rot.

It made Scott’s vision impossible to sculpt. Red rot destroys a trunk from the inside out. Surprisingly, Alex says the discovery of the rot “…was one of the biggest blessings ever.” From a forced situation, he created a whole new way to work with wood. He hollowed out the tree, gave Scott a new sketch for approval, and produced what is now one of his favorite pieces: a filigreelike botanical with twining vines,

flowers and leaves.

The spruce I sit beside presented its own challenges, Alex tells me as he paints broad strokes of white.

As his chain saw broke into the top portions, he found it misshapen. The tree’s growth would not allow the eagle’s gaze to face straight towards the road. Instead, its neck had to twist toward its left shoulder, in a way that denotes strength to me, or, as neighbor Harry Batchelder says, ferocity. Alex laughs a little at the result from the change he was forced to make. “There’s a lot less planning than you might think…life is fluid. I guess it’s good that my art is, too.”

After nearly two weeks, Alex has nearly finished the eagle, Phase I of John Dolan’s totem pole. The bear and the dragon will take about two weeks each as well, he says. In between, he will intersperse work already promised. Next week, he will be at Owl’s Landing Campground in Holderness and later in the summer, he will be onsite in Worcester, MA. It looks like commissions will keep him busy through the first of the year; after that, he hopes to head west for the last months of winter.

A client in California wants another sign, and perhaps he’ll stop to visit a sculpture he shipped to Colorado last fall. There’s no doubt he’ll return to New Hampshire with the warmth of spring, though. Despite “everywhere I’ve been,” he says, “New Hampshire is still the most beautiful place...”

Progress on the Eagle Totem can be seen atop Wentworth Hill on Route 109N at the Isaac Adams Homestead in Sandwich. When you go, be sure to take time to see the sad monk at Harry Batchelder’s home next door on the Moultonboro side.

The year 2017 saw the release of their debut album, ‘New Breed’, and the band recently played several showcase gigs in Nashville, TN (Douglas Corner Cafe, Sutler Saloon, The Local) and due to popular demand, they will

be returning for follow-up gigs in October!

The season winds down on August 9 with the Wolfeboro based, Carolyn Ramsay Band (CRB), a collaboration of musical talent brought to life by Carolyn Ramsay.

After knowing one another for years, the group formally became a band in 2012, with the goal of doing what they are passionate about and bringing music to central New Hampshire.

CRB, whose style of music mimics the beautiful environment that they call home, has roots in rock and folk music.

Their soulful style leaves a joyful impression on their audiences.

The Summer Concerts at the Pavilion are made possible by Presenting Sponsor Meredith Village Savings Bank and Season Sponsors Financial Focus and Doran Independent Insurance. The concerts are free, and donations are welcomed with proceeds benefiting the Tuftonboro Scholarship Fund.

August Brings the Peter Ferber Gallery Show of New Artwork Peter Ferber has a wide following for his beautiful paintings of the Lakes Region. He is represented at The Art Place in downtown Wolfeboro.

On Saturday, August 4, The Art Place will hold its semi-annual Peter Ferber Gallery Show featuring new original paintings by Ferber. The unveiling and artist’s reception will commence at 9:30 am. All are welcome to attend and meet the artist.

Peter Ferber has been showing at The Art Place gallery in downtown Wolfeboro since the early 1990s.

“It’s not just about the familiar visual scene when looking at Peter Ferber’s paintings, it’s about the emotions stirred and the many feelings one gets from his beautiful artwork,” says Barbara Gibbs, owner of The Art Place.

Peter Ferber describes it best as he says, “Once again I feel fortunate to share a new collection of paintings that come out of a deep love for this area that so many people feel. Nothing makes me happier than that connection - hearing the wonderful memories evoked in those that come to see the work.

“In many ways there’s nothing new in this ‘new’ collection. There will be some vintage boats - hundred-year-old launches and a Lyman outboard from

Lake scene by Peter Ferber.

the 1950s. Wonderful, simple cottages - a few on islands, and one done in the cut paper medium; boathouses here and there, including a great, rustic Adirondack style structure, plenty of pine trees, mountains, and at least one loon. That being said, I hope it never feels like I’m repeating myself! In order to have integrity, and that spark, I always rely on some new element in the concept to inspire me. This often comes in the form of a different color palette or an interesting lighting effect

I’ve observed. And I’m always trying to bring out the idyllic, romantic or timeless aspect of a subject; to convey more than a literal portrayal, and tap into what the subject means to people. This approach was developed in college, where we painted local scenes around town, and were taught to accentuate and augment certain things about the subject to give it more weight and importance and make the painting more dramatic and interesting. I still do this today, though in more subtle ways,

since there’s not usually the need to ‘improve’ on the beauty and interest of the subjects I find around here.

“Of course, lakes are a constant throughout, and this time include Wentworth, Newfound and Sunapee, in addition to Winnipesaukee, though they will feel familiar no matter what your particular favorite may be.

The paintings will include work in watercolor, acrylic, oil, and the one cut paper piece I mentioned.”

Peter has exhibited in over 50 shows in New England and the Midwest.

More than 100 reproductions of his work have been made, including over 75 limited edition prints.

Peter Ferber’s Gallery Show at The Art Place will be on display through August 18 or as long as paintings are available. The Art Place is the exclusive gallery for Peter Ferber’s original artwork, and produces most of his limited edition prints.

The Art Place is located at 9 North Main Street, downtown Wolfeboro, NH and is open year round. Summer hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 9:30 am to 5 pm and Sunday 11 am to 3 pm. For more information, please call 603-569-6159 or toll free 866-5696159.

Tickets are selling Why Should You Buy briskly for LobsterFest!

American-Made Furniture at Ippolito’s?

Reason

#2nment:

Imported furniture sold at most furniture stores comes from China and Vietnam on giant container ships. These ships burn bunker oil, a low-grade, tar like fuel with a high sulphur content made from leftover crude oil after gas production, causing over 60,000 premature deaths per year. Just one container ship emits as much pollution as 50 million automobiles. And there are over 6,000 container ships at sea right now. Every bedroom set we sell at Ippolito’s is made in the USA of sustainable hardwood, creating American jobs. Choose from high-quality maple, cherry, oak, elm, hickory and birch. Plus you never pay sales tax and delivery is always free.* *Order must meet minimum requirements.

The Center Harbor Community Development Association will host the Fourth Annual LobsterFest, a family friendly street dance and lobster dinner event on Thursday, August 2. Sponsored by local area businesses, the event will feature dancing to live music by popular area band Bittersweet and the choice of a steamed lobster (1 to 1¼ lb.) or grilled split chicken breast dinner. Each dinner includes an ear of corn, potato salad, cole slaw, a roll and choice of beverage.

Tents, tables and chairs will be provided for sit-down dining. Kids eat free at the “Kids Korner” when accompanied by a ticket holding adult.

The children’s menu includes hotdogs, mac-n-cheese, chips and a drink.

Main Street will be closed starting at noon. Dinner will begin at 5 pm, with continuous serving until 7 pm. Live music and dancing in the street at the gazebo will begin at 5 pm and continue until 9 pm. Proceeds from the event will be used to sponsor additional community events, such as Center Harbor’s annual SkateFest in February.

According to Bill Ricciardi, Chair of the Event, “This is our fourth year for this affordable, old-fashioned, fun-

filled evening for the entire family.

Friends, family, residents, and visitors are all welcome. All proceeds above our costs will go right back into similar community events. We invite everyone, residents or visitors, to come and experience the warmth and charm of Center Harbor, which, in our opinion, is simply the best place on earth.”

Tickets are $15 for the grilled chicken dinner, $25 for the single lobster dinner, and are available at E.M. Heath’s Supermarket and at the Town Office in Center Harbor. A limited number of tickets will be available the night of the event, but advance purchase is strongly recommended as the number of lobster dinners is fixed.

The Center Harbor Community Development Committee is made up of local businesses and organizations, volunteering time and resources, to enhance the beauty and appeal of Center Harbor through various events and promotions, for residents and visitors alike. It is hoped that everyone who lives, works and plays in the area, will experience the beauty and friendliness of their town and to enjoy everything Center Harbor has to offer.

Doo Wop Project Returns to Great Waters Back by overwhelming demand, The Doo Wop Project will grace the stage again this year at the Kingswood Arts Center in Wolfeboro on August 10th.

This amazing, energetic group is once again part of the Great Waters Music Festival season. Gather your friends and reserve your tickets now. You don’t want to miss this!

Doo Wop is a form of rhythm and blues music that was developed in African-American communities in the United States in the late thirties and early forties and achieved huge popularity in the fifties and sixties.

The Doo Wop Project begins at the beginning, tracing the evolution of Doo Wop from the classic sound of five guys singing tight harmonies

on a street corner to the biggest hits on the radio today. Throughout the show DWP takes audiences on a journey from foundational tunes of groups like the Crests, Belmonts and Flamingos through their influences on the sounds of Smokey Robinson, the Temptations, the Four Seasons all the way to Michael Jackson, Jason Mraz and Amy Winehouse. Featuring current and former stars of two of Broadway’s smash hits Jersey Boys and Motown: The Musical, the Doo Wop Project brings unparalleled authenticity of sound and vocal excellence to recreate, and in some cases entirely re-imagine, some of the greatest music in American pop and rock history.

Great Waters Music Festival is a

This day-long celebration of the great outdoors regularly attracts more than 600 participants who make the most of this chance for families to have fun, explore and learn about the natural world together.

Moose Mountains Regional Greenways’ (MMRG) Education Coordinator Kari Lygren is excited about some new festival offerings this year. “I’m looking forward to hearing storyteller Anne Jennison, with her Native American tales of the natural world. And I can’t wait to sample some fresh, local produce and pick up some recipes from Seacoast Eat Local! They also stock a lot of information about local agriculture, the economy and the environment, which will be part of our new Steps to Sustainability. Follow the carbon footprints to discover ways to reduce your impact on our local and global environments.”

The Festival offers a lot of fun

Open seasonally, it features work by local artists as well as its unusual and eclectic collection of natural artifacts. It has a boat launch and can be visited by car or boat.

Artists participating in the exhibit include Carole Groenke; Anne McMillan; Dayna Talbot; Stephanie Blackstock; Lauren Hammond; Kimberly J.B. Smith; Kate Higley; Betty Flournoy Brown; Robin Cornwell and Davida Cook.

Carole Groenke is the founding member of the Lakes Region WCA/ NH group. She is a mixed media artist whose works often involves a social message. This winter she curated a show at NHTI in Concord called “Her Water Her Future,” which included both works of art and speakers on the issue. She lives in Gilford.

Anne McMillan is the treasurer of WCA/NH, and is a mixed media and fiber artist using book arts, relief

Anne McMillan, one of the artists who will exhibit at the Libby Museum in August, is shown in front of her artwork. printmaking and surface design to convey a story. In April, she exhibited in collaboration with Dayna Talbot in the installation piece “No Mistakes, No Failures” a grouping of 10 panels approximately 9” x 6’ in the Saori style of weaving incorporating strips of failed artwork donated by members of the WCA/NH at the 3S Artspace in Portsmouth, NH. Dayna Talbot’s more recent work focuses on fiber, printmaking, and sculptural installations. She is particularly interested in methods used to overcome the struggle for balance in today’s world. Recently, Dayna collaborated with 3S Artspace on an exhibition for Women’s Caucus for Art. Included in the exhibit were the 10 woven wall hangings she and Anne McMillan designed from discarded artwork from the members of WCANH. Stephanie Blackstock, a member of WCA/NH, is a painter/multimedia artist who lives in Ossipee. A graduate of Maine College of Art, she exhibited

summer as local growers would like, there still seems to be a decent number of fresh berries to be found. When most people think berries, they think of pies, desserts, and fruit salads, and one of my favorites, on my breakfast cereal. Granted, there are many fresh fruits that are outstanding on the grill, but berries are generally too small and not practical to grill. However, making fresh berry chutneys, marinades, and fruit/berry salsas can turn a decent grilled protein into an incredible

mouthwatering treat. Although these suggestions can be used on beef, they are truly best on pork, chicken, fish, duck, Cornish hen, ham, lamb, and venison. It will truly work on anything grilled. It’s also great in certain sandwiches and can make incredible chicken wing recipes.

I will admit I’m not the biggest vegetable eater. I do enjoy salads and • Chillin’ While Grillin’ Continued on page 31

July 30, 2018 • Chillin’ While Grillin’ Continued from page 30 a good stir fry, but on the whole, I do not eat as many vegetables as I should.

However, when it comes to fruits and berries, I am truly a huge fan. There is no berry or fruit I don’t enjoy. Chutney, as a genre, is often similar to the salsa of Latino cooking, or European relish insofar as it usually involves a fresh, chopped primary vegetable/fruit with seasonings added, to be used as a condiment for another food. To those who are experienced making and canning jams and jellies, chutney is similar but not as time consuming, which is always a good thing. Like jams, chutney is cooked and simmered and can also be canned or preserved for future use. Chutney can also be frozen and will stay fresh for two to three weeks under refrigeration, so all in all it has a great shelf life. Don’t be afraid to make it in bulk if needed, depending on how many berries you want to utilize in this way. It is the utilization of vinegar/lemon juice which gives the chutney an extended shelf life in the fridge. Chutney can be served at a formal dinner as a condiment for a fancy meal, or at a casual picnic with tortilla chips or crackers. Whatever the occasion, chutney is a tasty, sweet and sour treat that is sure to please.

Seriously, who doesn’t like anything made from fresh berries? To me it’s just like candy with a twist. The many variations have made chutney my favorite condiment ever.

For those not overly familiar with chutney, it is kind of a combination of a jelly and relish. As a general rule, it combines sweet and sour flavors utilizing berries and/or fruits and sugar with vinegar and/or lemon juice to bring the sour. Quite often vegetables and sometimes nuts are incorporated to give the final product some other flavors and crunch. Onions, celery, and peppers are often used. I am a big fan of spicy, so as a result most of my

favorite chutneys contain the heat of jalapeno or chili peppers to go with the blueberries, raspberries, strawberries or other fruit and berries. The sweet, spicy and sour combinations are so darn good. Combine a few great spices and seasonings and it can turn your chutney into a tasty treat. Chutney is also great combined with cream cheese to make some great dips or spreads or also as-is on crackers with cheese and on toast. It also stands very well on its own by the spoonful, but for today’s purposes, we will be suggesting its uses for grilled items with some fun ideas. I will share some recipes that can easily be altered with different berries other than the ones listed, and you can also toss in dried fruits and different veggies depending on your taste. As I love to say, check out some of these recipes, start the tweaking process, and voila, you can have fun creating your own favorite chutney recipe.

Let’s start with one of my top three, a Spicy Blueberry Ginger Chutney.

The combination of flavors is insanely delicious. It can be served cold or warm under a hot grilled meat or to accompany a meat or protein, or baste your favorite protein with it while grilling. I recommend it mostly with pork, chicken, and duck. Once you taste it, you will figure out what you think would be best to serve or baste it with.

Shopping List: 1 cup good quality red wine vinegar 1 cup sugar ½ tsp cinnamon 1-2 tbsp Sambuca (optional) gives a hint of licorice flavor 1 tsp allspice ½ cup fresh minced garlic ½ cup finely chopped fresh ginger ½ cup minced jalapenos chili peppers. (If you want extra heat, add the seeds as well) 4 cups fresh blueberries ½ cup golden raisins ½ tsp crushed red pepper ½ tsp salt

GeezLouise!

For starters, combine the vinegar and sugar and bring to a mild boil in a medium sauce pan, whisking frequently to dissolve the sugar, then set aside off the heat. Add the cinnamon, allspice and Sambuca and whisk well again and continue to leave off the heat for ½ hour.

Put the pan back on the stove and add the ginger, garlic, chili peppers, and only 1 cup of the blueberries and bring to a mellow simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently until the sauce has thickened and has reduced about in half. Add the other 3 cups of blueberries and a tbsp of water or 2 if needed. Simmer for about 5 minutes until the blueberries have softened.

Don’t overcook, as the chutney will thicken once cooled and you still want most of those berries to hold their shape.

Remove from the heat and add raisins, crushed red pepper and salt and gently combine. Pour into a container and let cool somewhat at room temperature before covering and popping in the refrigerator.

If using to baste your protein, doing it warm is okay. If as a side or to serve your protein over the chutney, I prefer

it at room temperature, so pull what you need out of the fridge a couple hours before using, or pop some in the microwave at a low to medium heat and cook for a couple of minutes at a time to just give it just a hint of warmth.

So, that last chutney had the added flavor of two of my favorites, fresh ginger and the heat of the peppers. This one includes mixed berries and another fresh herb that I love - mint. Again, this one has a tremendous blend of flavors of berry and citrus, but the mint goes so well with so many great meat options, especially chicken, pork, and lamb.

This one is Mixed Wild Berry Chutney and here is the list of ingredients and directions.

Shopping List: 4 cups fresh mixed berries. I generally go with blueberry, strawberry, and either raspberry or blackberry 1/2 cup fresh minced garlic 1 cup good red wine vinegar The juice and rind of a lemon 1/4 cup packed brown sugar 1 large sweet onion, finely chopped 2 Tbsp fresh ginger, finely minced or • Chillin’ While Grillin’ Continued on page 32

• Chillin’ While Grillin’ Continued from page 31 grated 2 tsp coriander seeds 1/2 tsp salt Freshly-ground black pepper, to taste 4 Tbsp fresh mint, finely chopped In a medium sauce pan, sauté the onion in the oil until translucent.

Add the rest of the ingredients except the fresh mint and cook for about 15 minutes on a medium heat, partially covered and keeping a decent eye on it. Get rid of the lid and continue to cook for close to a ½ hour on a low to medium heat, stirring now and then.

The ultimate ending is for the liquid to reduce to the point it is thick as a chutney but not as thick as a jam.

Remove from the heat, add the fresh

mint and combine well and let cool uncovered in the refrigerator until lukewarm. Mix again, cover, and let sit for a full day before using. This is one I wouldn’t use warm off the stove as a sauce while grilling. The reason for letting it sit for a day is to allow the mint to work its wonderful magic. If you want to baste your proteins with it after 24 hours, get it out at room temperature a couple of hours earlier.

This is an awesome and unique blend of flavors, again with an outstanding mixture of fun and distinct tastes.

Another chutney I really love contains figs, which gives great flavor and texture. This one is a Berry Fig Chutney. Here is what you will need for this very simple recipe.

Cool. Remove the thyme stems before serving.

The last chutney recipe is geared toward the holiday season but it truly works all year. I know we are in the middle of summer and the last thing I want to do is to rush the seasons, but this will be a definite “go-to” recipe at Thanksgiving and Christmas as well. I also make a great cranberry sauce, but this recipe blows that away and is now a permanent fixture; often, people ask me for the recipe. This one is a Cran Apple Walnut Chutney, which has great crunch as well as flavor blends.

Here is the list.

2 cups sugar 1 ½ cup water 12 oz. package fresh cranberries 3 large apples of choice, chopped and preferably on the tart side 1 medium sweet onion, finely chopped 2 sticks celery, chopped ½ cup golden raisins ½ cup packed brown sugar ½ cup cider vinegar 1 tsp ground cinnamon A few good shakes of salt, allspice, and ground cloves ¾ cup chopped walnuts, toasted In a large saucepan, bring the sugar

and water to a boil over a medium heat until the sugar has dissolved. Bring the heat to a simmer and let simmer for about 3 more minutes, uncovered.

Gently stir in all the remaining ingredients with the exception of the walnuts and return to a boil. Again, reduce the heat to a simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally for about 20 to 25 minutes until it reaches your desired thickness. Whether serving warm or cold, stir in the walnuts just before serving. This will become another “go to” recipe for you and your family and crowd.

Lastly, I would like to suggest a fresh fruit and berry salsa, which also has colored bell peppers. This is outstanding with grilled swordfish and salmon, grilled citrus chicken or shrimp, or as a salad of sorts. Again, substituting other fruits/berries and veggies is always a great option depending on your taste, and what is available and in season.

I also like to add cut grilled corn off the cob. Although once mixed, it has a few days of quality shelf life, when it comes to the berries you use, I add these at the time of service. If mixed within the salsa right away, the berries have a tendency to bleed and can give the salsa a psychedelic ’60s tie die kind of color to it after sitting a day or two.

It won’t hurt the quality, but I have always been a huge fan of presentation.

If you grew up in the 1960s and enjoyed it, toss the berries in early and it may give you some flashbacks.

Unlike a fruit salad where the pieces are cut into bite-sized chunks, this is • Chillin’ While Grillin’ Continued on page 33

“Pour Painting” Workshop The Libby Museum in Wolfeboro is hosting an acrylic painting workshop on Saturday, August 11 from 10 am to noon. In this exciting, creative and magical workshop called “pour painting”, you layer paint in a cup and literally pour it onto the canvas. It’s a new You-Tube craze requiring little artistic talent; the paint does the work, and each painting is completely unique.

Call the museum to register; space is limited: 603-569-1035.

Artist Lauren Hammond will demonstrate and teach several techniques so you can continue painting at home. All supplies are included in

• Chillin’ While Grillin’ Continued from page 32 a salsa, so you are looking for a much smaller cut. Like a traditional salsa, I love to utilize chopped fresh cilantro in this beauty. This will make quite a bit, so use for your grilled citrus items and by the bowlful, maybe with a small scoop of sherbet on top. It’s pretty good regardless how you use it. Not everyone enjoys fresh pineapple, but I love using that as well. Peaches and mangos work very well too.

Shopping List: ½ cantaloupe, about ¼ inch diced ½ honeydew, about ¼ inch diced 3 of your favorite types of apples, skin on, about ¼ inch diced 2 small cans of mandarin oranges, roughly cut, or fresh oranges if preferred ½ cup orange juice Zest of an orange Zest of a lemon 1 red bell pepper, same dice 1 orange or yellow bell pepper, same dice ½ small Vidalia onion, same dice 2 ears grilled corn, then cut off the cob

the $25.00 fee. Lauren Hammond currently teaches art at Brewster Academy and is a former director of The Libby Museum.

Founded in 1912 and located at 755 North Main Street in Wolfeboro, the Libby Museum is recognized as one of the most eclectic small museums in the U.S.; full of local artifacts, wildlife specimens, and fascinating natural and man-made objects from near and far.

The Libby Museum is open from June through Columbus Day. For more information, visit http:// www.thelibbymuseum.org.

once cooled 1 cup fresh blueberries 1 cup fresh raspberries 1 cup chopped strawberries ¼ cup fresh, finely chopped cilantro All in all, this is thrown together once prepped, with the exception of the berries. Mix very well. One suggestion I have is when cutting the apples, I cut them first and place them in the orange juice while prepping the rest to keep them from browning.

That’s it for your lesson on fresh berries. Next time we talk berries, maybe it will be regarding some fun desserts. No matter how you like your berries and fruits, this is the time to truly enjoy them. I think berries are one of Mother Nature’s true gifts.

Next week, we will offer some recipes for another local treasure, fresh fish from the big lake on the grill. Until then, Get Your Grill On and keep on Chillin’ While Grillin’!

Turf Talk Brown Lawn Blues Summer can mean hard times for New England lawns. Hot weather combined with improper mowing can trigger a cascade of turf problems such as weeds, crabgrass, browning and harmful insects.

To immediately protect your lawn and reduce summer browning: Apply liquid compost tea to improve soil health Apply a slow release fertilizer with grub and/or tick protection • Mow high – at least 2.5-3"– and mulch your clippings to minimize browning • Don’t mow in the heat of the day • Keep your mower blades sharp • •

There is definitely plenty for everyone at the Castle this summer, from live music to history programs.

“This season we are hosting over 25 different kinds of activities, many of them happening on a weekly or recurring basis. Our mission is to share the estate and property with the public, and it is a priority for us to provide opportunities for people of all ages and interests to come out and enjoy something new or unique here,” she continued. “Though our activities are diverse, they all fulfill our vision of connecting people to nature, history and the arts through fun and enriching moments.”

Lakes Region Music and Arts Day Camp The Lakes Region will be alive with music and arts this summer, especially during the week of August 13 to 17.

That’s when the new Lakes Region Music and Arts Day Camp will begin its full day, 8:30 am to 4 pm camp for students ages 9 to 15.

The brain child 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.”

Four experienced instructors 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 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

Students practicing at Music and Arts Day Camp. 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 the experience of participating in a Bell Choir, LRM&A Camp Chorus, drumming, to name a few. New this year will be the construction of and learning to play a dulcimer (which the students will take home at the end of camp). Students will construct, decorate and learn to play this interesting instrument. The cost of the dulcimer will be included in the tuition. There will also be instruction on Recorders with group ensemble.

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 dulcimer is that there are many songs that the student can accompany themselves on with minimal instruction.

“The campers will be allowed to

work at their own pace,” says Jordan, “while also being encouraged to try new things.” Instrumental lessons will be offered on an individual basis.

Finally, there will be an opportunity to participate in a theater experience during the week.

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.”

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 603998-8545, the First United Methodist Church office at 603-524-3289 or email soprano00134@gmail.com.

Hands Across the Decades - Arts for the Ages

By Mark Foynes Photos courtesy Castleberry Fairs Over the past three decades, NH’s own Castleberry Fairs has been coordinating efforts across New England to secure venues where area artisans can connect with potential buyers looking for unique items that bear the mark of each craftsman’s pride of effort.

Castleberry’s events are organized and managed by Granite Staters Terry and Chris Mullen. Having set their stakes down on the shores of Alton Bay from the get-go, the fairs are a Lakes Region tradition. In keeping with tradition, each fair in the 2018 season features a wide variety of handmade items ranging from jewelry to pottery and specialty foods of virtually every variety.

Over the years, the Mullen’s have conducted fairs from Bar Harbor all the way down to Connecticut. These days, their scope is a bit more focused (though still quite extensive), covering a geography that stretches from the Lakes and Whites down to the Cape.

One of the Mullen’s signature venues is Alton Bay; they’ve held fairs there since they began 29 years ago. Two events, featuring perhaps 75 artisans, are planned for the Bay in 2018. Also on this year’s event calendar are fairs in Meredith and two in Lincoln. (A listing of NH venues appears at the end of the article).

At least one of the Mullen’s is on hand at each fair to provide oversight

and leadership, though it’s often both. Castleberry’s fairs at Alton Bay have become a mainstay of the Winnipesaukee experience in recent decades. They draw a diverse mix of devoted customers, artisans committed to the event, and casual passers-through looking for a unique item that speaks to the Lakes Region experience.

The Mullen’s are artisans who consider themselves advocates, ambassadors, and evangelists for

anyone who appreciates quality, handcrafted items, whether they be makers or potential customers.

“It really comes down to the people who spend all week making quality work and then take a day to come to an event where they can meet people who share and appreciate that passion for craftsmanship,” explained Terry Mullen.

Consignor’s Avenue

Apart from the fairs, the Mullens’ personal passion is crafting stained glass creations. Their devotion to the craft evolved into Castleberry, which has been in continuous operation since the 1980s.

Terry Mullen said the company emerged amidst her own personal frustration with other fairs where they exhibited. Mullen explained that she’d set up as a seller at a number of underpromoted events and, with a degree in marketing, began taking note of the things that promoters were not doing to publicize those fairs.

With a keen eye for what is needed to promote a successful event, Terry and husband Chris decided to strike out on their own and create the type of fair that would provide the kind of venue she believed artisans deserved.

It began 29 years ago with the advent of Castleberry Fairs. Alton Bay has been a venue from the beginning. “It’s maybe not our biggest fair, but it’s kind of where it all started,” noting her commitment to the location.

“After having worked with our hands for so long, and having met such a diversity of artisans over the years who are all passionate and unique, it almost feels like a family,” she explained, noting that fiber artists, potters, and woodworkers often feel a bond of kinship, although their mediums of •Arts Continued on page 37

“I might not work in clay or wood, but I know quality work when I see it,” she explained. Mullen added that she is proud to be in a position to connect craftsmen with people who appreciate the toil, diligence, and creativity that are involved with every item that’s available at Castleberry Fairs.

To this end, Castleberry has created an application process that weeds out certain kinds of vendors. Nothing that’s mass-produced is permitted.

“In addition to making a space where creative people come together, it’s also a place where buyers can meet and talk with the people who create,” she explained.

Over the years, Mullen has seen trends in hand craftsmanship. She said that there is a trend toward repurposing old items into new ones that combine vintage chic with modern functionality.

Some of her vendors use pieces of old dishware to fabricate jewelry. Others use disused antique window frames as a tableau for new stained-glass creations. She’s even seen people use olden silverware for windchimes.

“What’s old can be made new again,” she explained.

The fusion of the modern and the contemporary is a definite trend, according to Mullen.

She described a particular vein of this modality as “steam punk” - a genre that incorporates Jules Verne-esque Victorian elements with futuristic motifs reminiscent of the regenerations of Dr. Who and the like. Pure

steampunk anachronistically blends functions like space travel with brassera technologies powered by outdated, coal-fueled power.

“The people who do steampunk have a great sense of humor and a ton of creativity,” Mullen summarized.

She said she’s noticed an uptick in the number of younger visitors, Millennials in their 20s and 30s browsing alongside Boomers in their 60s.

“People are looking for something authentic, and this is a place they can do that,” Mullen explained.

She added that older visitors appreciate reconnecting with the old ways of making things, while younger folks appreciate the opportunity to meet the artisans themselves.

“Some of the Millenials like knowing that the things they buy don’t come from a sweatshop, and we provide the opportunity for people to meet and buy from the artisans themselves,” Mullen explained.

Castleberry, in its mission to present a wide variety to the visiting public, offers a distinctive line-up of vendors. A quick check of their website features works by fiber artists, ceramicists, jewelers, metallurgists, and photographers, plus many, many more. Too many to fit into a tight newspaper paragraph, so you’ll have to see for yourself.

“So many of the things I see have a combination of flair and focus,” Mullen said. She added that creating a distinctive piece involves a delicate “balancing act of creativity and discipline.”

That same balancing act translates to how she selects artisans through a

competitive application process.

Mullen explained that “a little competition among artisans is a good thing” but having too many of the same type of craftsman can compromise the experience for vendors and visitors alike.

“So, if we have too many fiber artists, then we’re not offering the variety we want and people expect; plus that impacts sales for the artisans sometimes,” Mullen noted.

Unlike some other events that sell mass-manufactured overstock items, Castleberry’s fairs prohibits certain items.

“If you applied with a bunch of mass-produced overstock, you would not be accepted. The fair is open only to people who craft their own items,” Mullen stressed.

She added, “It’s a matter of quality control since people have come to expect a certain level of individualism when they come,” noting that buying directly from a craftsman is indeed an added value.

Mullen said that at each event she plans and is on site for, she personally staffs a customer service table to answer questions. She said that above her table is a sign that reads, “Early to bed, early to rise, advertise, advertise, advertise.”

“If nobody knows about a fair, then the artisans lose out, as do potential customers who don’t know about opportunities to connect with artisans who handcraft quality products that tell •Arts Continued on page 38

Among Castleberry’s regular vendors is N.H. Bowl and Board, whose craftsmen use premium-quality wood to create utilitarian items that, in Mullen’s words, are “useful and beautiful.”

The Webster based artisan’s website describes itself as “your local marketplace for handmade wooden salad bowls, wooden cutting boards, wooden spoons, hard-to-find wooden kitchen utensils, great gift ideas and other woodenware.”

It continues, “Every piece we make and sell is made by hand in the USA by our hardworking posse of woodworkers. Because our wood bowls and serving pieces are made by hand - using heirloom quality woods and materials - each wooden bowl, board, spoon or utensil is truly oneof-a-kind.” It concludes, “We trust that each will become a cherished part of your family tradition to be handed down from generation to generation.”

Although Castleberry is a private entity, Mullen describes her enterprise with a missionary sense of zeal.

“If we’re successful, then we’ve helped some of the most skilled local artisans, making locally-produced, quality crafts connect with people who appreciate excellent craftsmanship,” she explained, emphasizing, “it’s not about us, it’s about the event and those we serve.”

Edra Toth | ARTISTIC DIRECTOR Presents

Wright Museum to Host Antique Car Show World War II vehicles won’t be the only iconic transports on display at the Wright Museum of World War II, as the venue will host its annual antique vehicle show on August 18.

The sixth annual Antique Car, Hotrod and Motorcycle Show will “Cruise Into the Wright” from 10 am to 2 pm on Saturday, August 18.

Reliving Childhood Memories with a Ride on Molly the Trolley

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper My kids knew more about Lakes Region tourism and interesting places to go and things to do by the time they were five or six than most children know in their entire childhood. That was simply because my kids, Dan and Megan, often accompanied me on story interviews and excursions when they were young. We went to Sculptured Rocks, to Polly’s Pancake Parlor, to try out the latest jet skis, to ride wagons to remote blueberry fields and on and on the list of fun places went as I did stories for The Laker.

But nothing was as much a beloved part of my kids’ growing-up years than Molly the Trolley. The co-owners of the Wolfeboro Trolley Company in Wolfeboro were also the co-owners/ founders of The Laker (newspaper), Dick and Kathy Eaton. When we dropped by the newspaper office to turn in my weekly stories, Dan and Megan would especially like to say hello to Dick in the hopes he might give them complimentary trolley ride tokens. I am happy to say he always obliged, which helped to create wonderful memories for my nowgrown-up kids.

We rode the charming trolley on many a hot summer’s day, and we even rode it when it was rainy or overcast.

In all sorts of summer weather, a trip to Wolfeboro held the promise of a ride on the trolley.

My kids are now in their late 20s, and live out of state. Their schedules are such that they have not been to

Molly the Trolley with driver/co-owner Kathy Eaton. (Courtesy photo)

Wolfeboro in a while, and that is probably why my daughter, Megan, was hankering for a day in downtown Wolfeboro when she was home on vacation.

It was a very hot July day when we casually browsed downtown Wolfeboro. By mid-afternoon, we decided to get an ice cream at Bailey’s Bubble on the corner of Main Street and Railroad Avenue. Our plans got a bit

off schedule when Megan saw Molly the Trolley drive by and heard the call of the trolley’s bell. As she would have as a child, she started walking towards the bright red trolley, which was parked by the former Railroad Station, one of the trolley stops where passengers can get on board.

We heard a cheerful voice say, “Is that Megan? Are you here to take a trolley ride?” There was trolley driver

d etts n a s o NH chu r P g sa 1 in s rv Ma 201 e S rn e e tr h inc S No

for the tour, Kathy Eaton.

We stopped to say hello and to reminisce a bit about my kids loving all those Molly the Trolley rides when they were kids. After chatting and getting caught up on how Megan is doing, Kathy asked, “So, do you want to take a trolley ride?” That was all the invitation Megan needed to nod yes, and we were soon seated on a shiny wooden bench with a great window view.

There were some visitors who also were seated and taking the trolley tour around Wolfeboro. They were from Florida, and I wondered how different the Lakes Region would be to them.

Certainly, the hot and humid weather was Florida-like, but New England’s long history as the place where our nation was born would be quite different.

After making sure we were seated and settled, Kathy took the driver’s seat and we were off! There is no doubt that downtown Wolfeboro on a summer’s day is bustling but Kathy maneuvered the trolley skillfully and I noticed many people smiling and pointing to the Victorian-style trolley. It is indeed difficult to spot Molly and not smile; there is just something so fun about the trolley!

During the tour, Kathy used the onboard speaker system to tell us the narrated story of all we saw along the way, starting with information about • Molly Continued on page 43

July 30, 2018 • Molly Continued from page 41 the 1872 Railroad Station, which is now used as a Chamber of Commerce information center, and also houses Wolfeboro Jet Ski Rentals.

As we moved through downtown Wolfeboro, Kathy pointed out businesses and mentioned that famous people often visit the town, such as summer residents Mitt Romney and his wife Ann, and television personality/ comedian Jimmy Fallon and his wife.

Kathy pointed out downtown businesses and restaurants and mentioned several art galleries, including the Art Place, and as we turned onto the Back Bay area, she told us about the Abenaki Water Ski Club. Club members practice during the summer on the waters of the bay area. Also mentioned were the Back Bay Skippers, who meet at the Back Bay area to race their radio controlled boats.

We next headed up North Main Street, where Kathy pointed out the Wolfeboro Inn, which was built in 1812 as a private home for Nathaniel Rogers. In the 1930s, it became the Wolfeboro Inn. Kathy also mentioned the Inn on Main Street and the barn, where functions are held, and the Libby Museum, just up the road on North Main Street.

I personally found the side trip we took on Sewall Road to be just my kind of thing. Kathy told of the origins of many of the old homes on the road as being in the Roaring 20s, when wealthy people wanted to bring their vacations and parties to the Lakes Region. We drove by many large waterfront homes, all immaculately tended. As we neared the end of Sewall Road, which put us back on North Main Street, Kathy pointed out Goodhue and Hawkins Marina. It was here that Castle in the Clouds owner Thomas Plant came to get a Laker boat built. His specifications were that he wanted his boat to be one foot longer than the standard Laker.

The boat was 33 feet long. It is now called the Keen Cutter.

The trolley next stopped at the town docks area, where Kathy parked for a few minutes so that new passengers could get onboard if they wished.

While stopped, Kathy pointed out the commercial dock where four boats offer lake cruises, including the Mt Washington, Winnipesaukee Belle, Millie B and US Mailboat.

Kathy has lived in Wolfeboro for a

number of years and really knows the history of the town. She told us about the railroad and its last station on the line right near the waterfront.

Also, she pointed to Cate Park in the dock area, where free Saturday night concerts take place each summer, as well as Wednesday night Cate Park band concerts.

Next, we headed to South Main Street, where we passed Brewster Academy, another place with a long history. Kathy told us the circa 1820 academy was, at one time, Wolfeboro’s high school. She also told us of the Pavilion Hotel, built in this area long ago by Daniel Pickering.

Not far away, our next drive by was through the Clark House museum complex with its historical buildings open to the public. Among the structures is a Fire House Museum, where a volunteer on duty came out to tell us a bit more about the buildings and what we would see should we visit. He also told us that the recently completed barn on the property is now open and full of fun and interesting artifacts.

Up the road a bit, we turned around in the Kingswood High School parking lot. Kathy at this point told us about the Kings Woods history; in the 1700s, England has just about exhausted its supply of tall trees which were perfect for making ship masts. Thus, upon settlement of the Wolfeboro area, the King of England decided the area would be known as the King’s Woods and all the tall trees (over 24 inches in diameter) therein would be the property of the King to be used as ships masts.

After turning around, we headed

back towards the downtown Wolfeboro area and made a right-hand turn onto Center Street. Kathy pointed out the Wright Museum of WWII and further down the street, the NH Boat Museum.

Also mentioned were the 1810 House antique shop and winery, the Cotton Valley Trail, and Albee Beach, which was just one part of Allen Albee’s

grand summer vacation complex called the Allen A Resort.

All too soon we were back and parked once again as the area by the Railroad Station. We chatted with Kathy for a few minutes, learning that the trolley leaves on the hour from the Wolfeboro Town Docks and on the half-hour from the Railroad Station. Narrated tours are 45-minutes long. The trolley runs daily in July and August, from 10 am to 4 pm and on weekends in spring and fall from 11 am to 2 pm.

The Wolfeboro Trolley Company also offers private charters; call 603-5691080 or visit www.wolfeborotrolley. com for more information. (It is a good idea to call or check Facebook to confirm Molly’s tour schedule as private charters interrupt her regular schedule occasionally, especially on Saturdays.)

After our trolley tour, we were more than ready for ice cream from Bailey’s Bubble, a short walk back down Railroad Avenue. Megan got to relive a sweet part of her childhood with a trolley tour and we ended the afternoon the best way possible, with ice cream… and some great memories.

Gafney Library August art exhibit and reception During the month of August, the Gafney Library in Sanbornville will host an exhibit of The Plein Air group, artists who gather weekly to paint in places within an hour’s drive of Wakefield.

The Plein Air artists first began to gather and paint 18 years ago and now meet weekly in interesting places.

Many of the individual members have pieces for purchase at reasonable cost in Wakefield and Wolfeboro. Most of the artists are members of the Governor Wentworth Arts Council and are active in events such as Paint Wolfeboro, exhibits at Huggins Hospital, libraries and banks.

Member Mary Lewis Sheehan will include poetry with her art for this exhibit. Mary retired three years ago to New Hampshire, Florida and Nova Scotia, and was delighted to find herself renewed by claiming lost and forgotten parts. Mary explains, “I remember reading the novel Seventeenth Summer and thought of it as a glorious description of what my youth could be like, and now experience my seventieth summer as a recreation of this energy.

My work of 45 years as a psychiatric nurse clinical specialist had been rewarding, so I was shocked when I happily finished up and moved on to art and poetry.”

Mary is a wife and mother of two grown sons who require her love and very little attention, leaving her with time and energy to write, paint, and be present for herself and her husband Frank. Mary and Frank reside at their home on Belleau Lake, visit with family in Nova Scotia, and live in Florida during the snowy season.

Mary has studied art with Paul George,

Rte.125 RV & Marine, Inc.

Plein Air artists who work will be included in an art exhibit at Gafney Library during August.

Marjorie Glick, Robert Pavon, Priscilla Burlingham, and KT Morse, and poetry with Barbara Bald and Beth Fox. “I treasure the gift of a community of poets and painters with whom I now get to play, especially The Wakefield and Wolfeboro Plein Air Painters, Poets in the Attic, The Hoot, and the Snowbird Poets and ongoing group oil lessons with KT Morse.

Norman Royle was a commercial artist for 30 years, and is the guiding force that has kept the Plein Air group on track for 18 years. He is an

inspiration to all members in the quality of his work, the care he demonstrates in teaching and the exciting places he arranges for them to paint. His paintings are expressions of local NH life, including old cars and scenic vistas.

Madelyn Albee is a senior teacher to the group and no review of the members’ work feels complete without her gentle coaching. She is a wellknown watercolor artist in Wolfeboro, and helps run Paint Wolfeboro every summer—and escaping for a while to Lunenburg, Nova Scotia.

The Blomster family, Marion and George, and cousins Roy and Dick are group members. Marion draws and paints local Wolfeboro scenes, and she and her husband George host the Plein Air group in their condo association space when rain and snow prevent “plein air” mode—which is a great deal of the time in this challenging New England climate.

Roy Blomster has a fine art degree from Florida State University and a Master of Art Education degree from Columbia University. He taught art in Greenwich, CT for 30 years. His artwork is fanciful, colorful, and entertaining. He has had over 40 oneman shows and is represented in many private collections.

Member Dick Lundgren is a

contributing member of the Rockport Art Association and has participated in many workshops there. He studied with Bernie Gerstner, Paul George, Karyl Hayes and Louise Anderson.

Dick and his wife have enjoyed several Road Scholar painting weeks at Star Island. An outside influence has been Robert Wade, an Australian artist.

As a Marine Corps veteran, he was a photographer during the Korean conflict, and after discharge, worked as a photographer for a studio in Woburn and as staff photographer for the Woburn Times for two years. Realizing that he was not using his education (BS in Biology from Tufts) he and his wife left their jobs, took out their life savings, fit the VW van into a camping unit and embarked on a 9 ½ month tour of National Parks. They traveled 22,000 miles and came back to New England when the campgrounds were closing for the season.

Ruth Willet is the second generation of an artistic family. Her mother was a self-taught artist of the natural world who taught Ruth “don’t paint within the lines.” Ruth raised her daughter Ann Willett in this family tradition.

Totally self-educated, Ruth developed skills in fabric art, spinning wool from her own sheep and making natural dies from her own plants. Ruth paints in every media, and although modest and self-effacing, she is, at 92 years old, a master artist who is still trying new approaches and creating vibrant art with apparent ease.

Ann Willett is an artist/illustrator/ fabricator and the third generation of the Willetts. She was a gold key and blue-ribbon winner in the Boston Globe competition in her youth, which with her mother’s artistic input spurred her on to a lifetime of art. Ann studied with Marshall Joice, a noted marine painter in Kingston, MA, and David M. Carroll, a nationally known painter of flora and fauna. Her academic courses of study included Mass. College of Art, UC, Santa Cruz, and a master’s in ceramics from UNC, Colombia.

She creates highly detailed images of fish and birds, and is sought after for private commissions.

The artists will host a reception open to the public on Thursday August 2 from 4 to 6 pm. The exhibit may be viewed during library open hours of Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday from 1 to 7 pm, and Friday and Saturday from 9 a to 12:30 pm. Call the Gafney Library at 603-522-3401 for more information.

LAKE ESCAPE: Gilford, NH

Gilford is one of the villages in NH that define a traditional, tranquil community. Settled in 1778, Gilford was originally part of Gilmanton and was known as Gunstock Parish. Yet, Lake Winnipesaukee, live music concerts, great restaurants, farms, and beaches on Lake Winnipesaukee, and marinas also call Gilford home.

TO DO… Head to Gunstock on Cherry Valley Road in Gilford for a variety of fun outdoor sports and adventures year-round, as well as camping and events such as the Soul Fest concert taking place in early August each year. Hike scenic Belknap Mountain for great views.

Take in a concert at the Bank of NH Pavilion at Meadowbrook, where nationally-famous musicians and other entertainers bring all sorts of shows to the Lakes Region. The last Saturday in August is always Gilford Old Home Day and visitors flock to the village area for a parade, family events, games, food, a huge fair at the Gilford Community Church, live music and an evening dance.

ON THE WATER… Ellacoya State Park is one of NHs most beautiful areas, with a sandy beach, barbecue pits, picnic tables and a nearby camping area for RVs. During the summer, the iconic M/S Mount Washington can be seen from the beach as it makes its way to various ports around the lake.
