It’s Berry Picking Season!

By Sarah Wright New Hampshire is full of wonderful farms with an abundance of pick-yourown items, like apples and pumpkins in the fall and peaches and cherries in the summertime.

Oh, did I forget something? Yes, berries! A favorite in my family, berry picking can be time-consuming, but the reward is so sweet. I love strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries, and freshly-picked berries are definitely the most delicious.

Luckily, the Lakes Region has some great places to pick berries, and even if you don’t pick-your-own, there are plenty of berries at farmer’s markets all around the area.

Berry season begins with strawberries, which have a brief availability of June through mid-July. Blueberries start next in early July with picking times ending sometime in September.

Blackberries and raspberries ripen in late July/early August, with their growing season extending through September. (I haven’t found a farm that offers blackberry picking, but blackberries are available at some farmer’s markets.)

A word of advice: get to the farm early! Berry picking is serious business, and many farms set up limited hours for picking each day, in order to give the crop a chance to ripen more. Berry seasons can be short and fickle, so definitely call the farm for an update before you head out. (When we went raspberry picking, I showed my kids what to look for, and told them that it

wasn’t ripe enough if it didn’t pull off easily from the steam. It’s important to pick responsibly to conserve the crop.)

Berries are yummy just as they are, but there are so many other ways to enjoy them. I love strawberries in a shortcake or cheesecake, blueberries in pancakes, and raspberries with vanilla ice cream or just by the handful. Enjoy them with a sprinkle of powdered sugar, in a smoothie, or in a jam—berries are not only sweet, they’re good for you.

Berries are full of antioxidants, vitamin C, vitamin K, manganese, and fiber, and provide many health benefits.

My family likes raspberries the most, and every year we fill a few pints of fresh raspberries at Butternut Farm in Farmington. Currently at Butternut

SUMMERTIME SALE!

Farm, strawberry season is nearly over, and blueberries are now available.

There are also many varieties of raspberries on the way, with different kinds available at different points in the picking season. The blueberries are thriving and more and more bushes have been planted to keep up with demand. Later, in July, the farm also offers peach and cherry picking. The Burnap family started planting fruit about 14 years ago, and looks forward to many more years of providing fresh fruit to their customers. Butternut Farm also uses sustainable farming practices to better care for the local environment and is looking to add more green technology in the future.

The farm is located at 195 Meaderboro

Road in Farmington. I made a right onto Meetinghouse Road from Route 11, and there were signs along the route to direct me. The farm is open from Tuesday through Sunday at 8 am until 4 pm. Please note that Butternut Farm may change picking conditions by the hour, so all customers are encouraged to call the farm at 603-335-4705 before arriving for the latest picking updates.

For pricing information, or further details on specific varieties, visit www. butternutfarm.net.

When I’m driving around the lake, I often see signs for pick-your-own berries, and there are local favorites, I’m sure. In a rural area, word-ofmouth goes a long way. Berry picking will never go out of style, and I found a few locations that have been thriving for years.

Surowiec Farm in Sanbornton is a great picking spot for excellent fruit.

Surowiec Farm is on Perley Hill Road, and is open seven days a week from 9 am until 5:30 pm. The farm offers pick-your-own blueberries from midJuly through the end of August, when the apple season starts. The blueberry bushes are irrigated, high-bush cultivars, which produce large, tasty berries and are convenient for picking.

Bring your camera to take photos of the beautiful views while you’re there. For the latest updates on picking conditions, call 603-286-4069 or check their Facebook page. Containers are • Berry Picking Continued on page 4

Norland Berries in Barnstead opens in early July with tons of beautiful blueberries for picking. This familyowned and operated farm has 7,500 high bush blueberries in six different varieties just waiting to be picked! The farm also offers pre-packaged fresh or frozen blueberries for sale. Located at 164 North Barnstead Road off Route 28, the farm is open from 7 am to 6 pm Monday through Saturday, and on Sunday from 8 am to 5 pm. For more information, call 603-776-2021 or visit www.norlandberries.com.

In the Newfound area, Kemah Farm is a pick-your-own blueberry farm. For over 30 years, customers have come to the farm off Cardigan Mt. Road in Alexandria to pick berries. Each year hundreds of people take a pilgrimage along the back roads of New Hampshire to visit the farm, enjoy the scenery and to pick luscious berries to take home.

According to www.kemahfarm.com, the farm was named “Kemah” by the farm’s founders, Harry and Mildred Brown, who purchased the property in 1948. Kemah is a native American word meaning “wind in my face”. The berry farm itself was founded in 1984.

Harry and Mildred were ole’ Yankees who had a strong kinship with the land, their neighbors and nature. The farm is now managed by their grown children and spouses who continue with the traditions of the past, such as operating on the honor system and promoting conservation.

The farm is about 85 acres with the blueberry plantation itself being about one acre. The blueberries are carefully nurtured and no pesticides are used.

Native pollinators are encouraged, and bird houses border the fields. Call 603744-3082 or visit www.kemahfarm. com.

Don’t miss your chance to enjoy some delicious fresh berries. Most farms charge by the pound, and some places will let you bring your own containers. Call ahead for the latest picking conditions. (Please note that berry farms typically do not allow dogs, so leave Fido at home.) Take advantage of these beautiful summer days and support your local farm. Your taste buds will thank you!

Check with your local fire department if permissible fireworks are allowed in your area.

The aviation and aerospace nonprofit STEM group, WinnAero, is gearing up for its eighth summer of offering challenging, educational and fun activities through its annual ACE Academies.

“This year we have added sections to meet student demand,” said WinnAero Education Director Dan Caron, “and the response has been great”.

Caron went on the say that while the two sessions for elementary-aged students and the middle-school aged Space Camp session are completely sold out, there are still some spaces in the other middle-school academies as well as the high school academies.

“We think the high school students will really enjoy what we have planned for hands-on activities with drones and our aerospace engineering subject,” added Caron, himself a high school Technology and Engineering teacher.

A Tour You Won’t Want to Miss!

If you enjoy touring exceptionally beautiful homes in the Lakes Region, you won’t want to miss the 31st Annual Central NH VNA & Hospice Home and Garden Tour on Wednesday, July 11 from 10 am to 4 pm.

Four uniquely different homes in the Wolfeboro area are being offered for viewing. The first, a 1790s Cape, is situated on 11 private acres. The home has been meticulously restored and modernized to today’s standards while keeping the charm of yesteryear. All of the renovations which have taken place over the past five years were done by the owners and a close friend.

The Cape was disassembled from the outside, exposing the original backside of the plaster walls. New state of the art insulation and windows were installed and then the home was re-sided. In addition to the house, there is a beautiful post-and-beam barn, which is now a great area for entertaining. The gardens which surround the entire house and barn give a special feel to the property.

Travel in time from the 1790s to a charming in-town, turn-of-the20th century home. Before entering,

Chordsmen will present outdoor concerts at Weirs Beach What could be better than listening to barbershoppers belting out a variety of favorite tunes on a summer’s evening?

If you love this type of music, plan to attend a series of free concerts by the Lakes Region Chordsmen Barbershoppers on an outdoor stage at the Winnipesaukee Marketplace located at 21 Weeks Street in Weirs Beach, weather permitting. Seating is on bleachers, at tables and on the lawn.

This is a pleasant setting with a view

The “Little Fair” That Put Hebron On The Map

By Kathy Begor Photos courtesy Hebron Fair (Editor’s note: this year the Hebron Fair will take place on Saturday, July 28 on the Hebron Town Common. Hebron is a picturesque town near Newfound Lake, and the fair has been a wellattended event for many years. Kathy Begor wrote this historical article for the Hebron Historical Society’s Gazette in the 1980s; it is reprinted here with author’s permission and offers a fond look back at the little fair that has became a big summertime event.)

Once a year, on the last Saturday in July, a quiet little town at the northern end of Newfound Lake erupts into a sea of activity. The Hebron Church Fair

The Hebron Church Fair has grown by leaps and bounds over the years. Fairgoers browsing for bargains at a recent fair. (Courtesy photo) for the local community and church, an becomes an incredible rallying point attraction for area family members of all ages, and a destination for crafters and craft enthusiasts from throughout the state. As attendees take in the myriad of sights, sounds, smells, and tastes during this intense day of activity, some may wonder how this all began.

The Hebron Church had been in existence since 1779 and by the mid 1900’s, the Ladies’ Aid had been holding many seasonal suppers and an annual summer Bazaar in the church basement as fundraisers. But in 1952, a group of young adults in the “Friendly Circle” finally convinced other church members to move the mid-summer Bazaar outdoors onto the picturesque town common. Several tables were set up for sales of homemade baked goods, handiwork, and crafts.

And so was born the Hebron Church Fair.

In the early years of the fair, there were tables of books, rummage, plants, homemade candy and baked goods, preserves, handsewn items, crafts, and a barbeque supper. Of special note were delicious donuts made by Flora Braley, sold all morning long, every year, for 25 cents apiece (a tradition she started and continued for 45 years!). Funds raised in those first years went toward a new gas range in the parsonage as well as drapes and carpeting for the church itself.

The 1966 Fair, held on July 16, was promoted as an “all day bazaar on the common” and combined the efforts of the Ladies’ Aid, the Friendly Circle, and the Youth Group. Of special note that year was the arrival of Congressman James Cleveland at 5 p.m. to dedicate the Veteran’s Memorial Plaque which was mounted in a granite boulder on the Hebron Common. That evening, the Youth Group held a “street dance” in front of the school house and the “Modes” from Manchester provided the music.

The following year, the Annual Bazaar was held a bit later, on August 19, and featured a “Silver Tea” at 2 p.m. and a bean supper at 6 p.m. The Fair Auction in those early years was held on the porch in front of the “grange hall” (now the Hebron Library). It was reported that the auction “realized a goodly sum” for the Fair and was always a popular activity, thanks to the talents of auctioneer Howard Oedel.

July 9, 2018 • Hebron Fair Continued from page 10 the late 60’s and early 70’s, the Fair continued promoting local citizens and their homemade products.

In 1976, however, the Bicentennial spirit was sweeping the country and additions were made to the growing list of Fair activities. A poster was created

by Robert White, resident and marketing promoter. Dozens of copies were made and hung in several neighboring towns to spread the word. The poster featured over 25 Fair activities, demonstrations, and booths. A breakfast was held in the church basement that year. It was a popular addition to the Fair, but only lasted two years because the hall was needed for the ever-increasing rummage. There were demonstrations of quilting, soap making, and pottery and the Fire Department held a “muster” for the kids.

By the next year, there were enough crafters and demonstrations to require closing the road in front of the school for the day. The Fair now had over 20 crafters and featured a new snack table.

The year 1979 was the 200th anniversary of the Hebron Church. A record crowd of over 4,000 attended the Fair that year. They were entertained by the New Chester Fife and Drum Corps and “Honest John” (Rev. John Fischer) was now in charge of the auction. A special item at the auction that year was the town’s 1941 Chevy fire truck, bought by storekeeper Tom Jacques.

While changes in Fair activities had been taking place during its first 30 years, the Fair itself had been steadily growing and evolving into an important

event drawing crafters from all over NH. The early craft tables had been filled with handmade projects, usually made by women as hobbies. Over time, crafters were becoming full-time artisans who were making a living with their handcrafted items. In the early 1980s, it became necessary to establish rules for the crafters. Those guidelines still exist today - all craft projects must be made by hand.

Overseeing the organization of the entire Fair has been a function of the Church Cabinet. For a while, however, Beverly and Parker Smith helped to coordinate Fair activities, especially organizing the crafters and doing the advertising. The expression “It never rains on the Hebron Fair” has been credited to this dedicated pair. Although it seems like a daring challenge to mother nature, the Fair usually has fair skies, with an occasional episode of “heavy humidity”! The Smiths had promised to remain as co-chair until the Fair earnings reached $5,000. This lofty goal was reached in 1984, with over 50 crafters and over 3,000 people in attendance that year.

The 1983 Hebron Fair had proven to be an exciting and exhausting experience for Rev. Fischer and his wife. Their youngest child, Jenny, chose that date to be born. After being up all night with Linda, John arrived at the Fair the next morning with the good news - and no sleep, ready to take on his duties for the day! Later in the afternoon, an ambulance was seen driving through town (reason is unknown). Some of the locals supposed it was Linda coming back to town to resume her regular post - to oversee the barbeque!

Doris and Doug Riddle were new residents in town, but pitched right in with church affairs and soon found themselves replacing the Smiths as cochair in the mid 1980s. They worked to organize and increase the number of quality crafters, improve the barbeque lunch offerings (without competing with the store), offer new kids’ games (with prizes), and continued to add new venues and activities - including the new silent auction. Their daughter, Derry, designed a Fair logo which has been used on T-shirts and note cards. The Riddles no longer manage the craft tables, but help their daughter Diane West, and husband Ron, with the daunting task of collecting and pricing White Elephant items, making the Fair a “family affair”!

Of special note in the 1980s were exhibits by the doctors of Plymouth Hospital, While-U-Wait portraits, a Christmas in July booth by the Hebron Village Kindergarten, an Indian teepee and native crafts, basket making, scrimshaw, and art exhibits by several local artists.

The face of the Hebron Church Fair has changed a great deal since that first year of moving the annual bazaar outdoors.

It is such a huge undertaking that today it is run by committee, but runs like a well-oiled machine! The auction has had its own tent for several years and handles many items each year!

Lines are now drawn with limestone to help crafters find their exact location!

Activities and booths once ended at 1 pm when the auction began - now everything lasts all day People now come from many other

states to visit the Fair, with the attendance approaching 5,000 in recent years. But, most importantly, what once started as an activity for the church has become a celebration of friendship, fellowship, and community building for the entire town. Everyone interviewed for this article could not thank the volunteers enough for their help and enthusiasm.

The Hebron Church Fair enjoys being a special day for a special community.

Of course, with an activity as huge as the Fair, there are many amusing anecdotes that go along with each year’s events: . . . After an overcast day, fairgoers were finishing their barbeque dinners when the sky opened up. As they collected under the dinner tent, the torrential rain continued. Those who were sharing the final soggy minutes of the Fair that year witnessed one lonely sneaker go bobbing past the tent! . . . On her final day of donut making for the Fair (1997), Flora Braley made 400 donuts! . . . One special auction moment found auctioneer “Honest John” holding up a bed pan and selling it as a flower pot. . . . Other memorable auction moments include unusual pairings of donated items, like a theater ticket and tattoo package.

“I’ve always wanted to stop there…” months.

On a heat-wave Saturday in early July, I happened to be driving on Winona Road and was very happy to see the Farm Museum open sign was out. Also, there were many paintings on exhibit stands placed around the lawn area of the museum.

I pulled over and was greeted by a woman who was overseeing the Museum on that particular Saturday.

Bonnie Edwards stepped forward and introduced herself and was most enthusiastic to tell me all about the exhibit. Even though the temperature had to have been edging towards 90 degrees and the sun beat down on our heads, Bonnie remained chipper and very eager to talk about all the Meredith Historical Society is doing.

Outside of building.

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper When I see an old buildingwith an open sign I just have to stop.

When I see an outdoor art exhibit there is no question I have to explore and see what paintings and new artists I can discover.

If those two things are at the Meredith Historical Society’s Farm Museum at 61 Winona Road in Meredith, it’s even better.

I must have driven by that alluring building a hundred times over the years, but I was always coming or going elsewhere, or it was the wrong time of

year and it was not a day the building was open.

I get it when it comes to New England smaller town historical societies. They are usually volunteer run, and subject to the schedules of their members who unlock the buildings, give tours and answer questions. And old structures are mighty hard to heat in the winter, not to mention plowing snow and all the other issues associated with colder weather. All these reasons explain why I never happened to get to the museum when it was open and why its hours of operation are limited to the summer

• Day Tripping Continued from page 13 “This exhibit is called Postcards From the Past’,” she explained as we studied each painting. “The exhibit was coordinated by Vynnie Hale of VynArt Gallery in Meredith. The paintings were done by various artists each showing a scene from an old Meredith post card.”

She also explained that the exhibit will have another opening at VynArt Gallery on Main Street in Meredith on August 3, with even more paintings to be displayed.

Indeed, it was fascinating to see the paintings and helpful that the post cards were displayed beside the paintings.

Bonnie went on to explain, “We are doing a Capitol Campaign so we can put a new roof on the Farm Museum building. We have raised $13,000 and

we have $7,000 more to go. I think we will meet our goal.”

She pointed to the large building, and indeed, the roof needs to be replaced.

As with any old building, it’s always something, but the members of the Historical Society are willing to raise money to keep the building – and the Main Street Museum in downtown Meredith that houses more of their collections – in good shape.

I gazed longingly at the Museum building, knowing that most old structures are much cooler on a hot day.

As Bonnie opened the door into the building, I told her I was eager to see inside. “I’ve always wanted to visit, but I never seemed to be driving by when you are open.” Bonnie nodded, saying the Farm Museum is open on Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 4 pm until Labor Day.

According to historical information at www.mhsweb.org, the building was constructed about 1802 for the use of the Freewill Baptist Church. It was built on the Old Province Road leading from Dover to Haverhill. The building was called the Oak Hill Meeting House or the Pottle Meeting House after one of

its first preachers, Elder Simon Pottle.

It is interesting to note that this section of Meredith was called Oak Hill because of the large oak trees lining the road at that time. A large oak grove in • Day Tripping Continued on page 15

July 9, 2018 • Day Tripping Continued from page 14 back of the church was the setting for services during the summer. Baptisms were held in Lake Waukewan, even in winter when, according to records, the ice had to be cut for the ceremony. The building was given to the Baptist Convention in 1929. The church disbanded in 1946. Pews were removed in 1947 and given to a church in Keene which was being restored after a fire.

The Meredith Historical Society acquired the building from the Baptist Convention in 1950. The original organ and Bible used for services are still among items in the collection. The Society’s Farm Museum opened in the summer of 1998. The museum houses farm equipment gifted from the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests and the Society’s own extensive collection of early tools and farming artifacts.

Bonnie described what the building was like and how it was used in the early days. “It was the meeting place for the Baptist congregation on Sundays.

They would be here all day and came from many surrounding areas,” Bonnie added.

I could easily see the old building, which is a large, airy room, full of people. The pulpit area is raised quite high and may have been needed so the minister could be heard and keep his flock attentive.

Near the pulpit, the beautiful old organ, which was made in Meredith, sits silent. However, once upon a time it likely provided musical accompaniment for the church choir.

The Meredith Historical Society now utilize the space to exhibit and interpret farm and rural life in the community.

The exhibits fill the walls, as well as in the middle of the large room, where an authentic horse-drawn buggy from long ago holds pride of place. Life and work long ago is depicted through the four seasons, with each time of year sectioned in displays of farm tools, old

photos and much more.

Bonnie pointed out a long, wooden piece that was a traverse or bobsled, and once upon a time area children must have loved riding on this sled in the snow.

Logging was wintertime work and there is a nice exhibit area dedicated to this necessity of rural life long ago.

Every home, at one time, would have depended upon wood for heating during the cold weather and also for cooking year around. Old photos show how wood was hauled from the forests and cut into smaller pieces for use in rural homes.

Wintertime also meant ice cutting on the area lakes. The huge blocks of ice were stored to provide cooling for meats and other foods.

All sorts of winter gear for outdoor fun also is included, and displayed on a wall. There are old wooden skis and ski poles, snowshoes and even a Flexible Flyer sled!

In the fall, harvesting was the norm in the area. Apple picking was a big part part of life and there are still traces of old apple orchards in fields here and there. Many people had ladders that were wider at the bottom and narrower at the top, making them easier to climb when picking apples.

I saw a cardboard cutout figure of a young boy with a contraption around his neck and realized it was a canvas apple bucket. As the apple picker harvested the crop, he could pick more apples by having both hands free to grab the apples and put them in the bucket.

An old cider press is on display with information on the practice of making cider. In a frugal society, nothing was thrown out. If some apples were not suitable for eating, they were used to make cider and many a farm housewife brought out a refreshing glass of cider when company came to call.

In the summer portion of the exhibit, there is a focus on haying, grain and corn harvests.

Spinning of wool was another necessary job for farm women, and an

old spinning wheel is on display with flax and linen in small plastic bags to show the results of all that work.

In springtime, maple syruping was a big deal in the area, and many a sap house was fired up and in use 24 hours a day.

As I browsed the exhibit, I saw a truck stop and a man walk over the lawn to see the paintings. Before long, he came inside, smiling and excited to see the museum. I overheard him say to Bonnie, “This is great! I’ve always wanted to stop here, and I was always curious what was in this building.”

It seems to be something many visitors say. It is well worth it to put a visit to the Meredith Historical Society’s Farm Museum on your summer to-do list.

This year is Meredith’s 250th

anniversary and the Historical Society’s Monthly Speaker Series are geared around the celebration. (Visit the Society’s website at www.mhsweb. org for a list of speakers and events happening right through the fall.)

The next time I am in downtown Meredith I plan to stop at the Main Street Museum, which is on the corner of Main and Highland Streets. It houses more fascinating pieces of the area’s past. (Bonnie says there are old photo albums with interesting images and it would certainly be fun to see what the town looked like long ago.)

If, like me, you have “always wanted to stop at the Farm Museum on Winona Road”, make this the summer to do so.

And like me, you won’t be disappointed!

Bringing a Show to Life at Inter-Lakes Summer Theatre Story & Photos by Rosalie Triolo For years Inter-Lakes Summer Theatre in Meredith has been the venue for many well-known and popular musicals. Inter-Lakes High School’s Auditorium provides the stage and the actors provide the talent. This season’s opening musical Evita, runs through July 15. It is the story of Eva Peron, former actress, wife of Juan Peron, (President of Argentina), who as First Lady fought for women’s rights and the rights of the poor.

During a rehearsal before the July 5 opening, the room was filled with an incredible pulse of talent and energy as an ensemble of gifted artists practiced of songs and precision dance. One can only come away thinking, “Here, in this room, is a group of young people who individually have an abundance of talent and when brought together, can simply be described as having ‘The WOW Factor.’”

Ashley Whalley’s role as the main character (Eva Peron), is a graduate of the College Conservatory of Music, Performing Arts College of the University of Cincinnati, Ohio. Ms. Whalley previously worked on cruise ships, acting in various productions and played the role of Cassie in A Chorus Line on Broadway. Several years ago, having moved back to New Hampshire, Ms. Walley, with encouragement from Nancy Barry, Production Artist Director of Inter-Lake Summer Theatre, opened The Studio 333 of dance and performing

arts in Meredith.

Mikey Lo Balsamo, (Juan Peron), graduated from Pace University, New York City with a BFA in Musical Theatre in the School of Performing Arts. Along with 10 other students in the program that year, Mr. Lo Balsamo’s was the first class to graduate from the Musical Theatre in the School of Performing Arts.

Other main roles are (Che) played by Mario Castro; (The Mistress) played by Stephanie Ann Christian, who is also understudy for Ashley Whalley; and (Magaldi) played by Giovanni Beatty.

Choreographer, Gustavo Wons, brings an abundance of insight to the production of Evita. Mr. Wons arrived in New York City from Buenos Aires, Argentina in 2000 and spent 10n years performing on Broadway. Mr. Wons began his career as a dancer in Fiddler on the Roof and Chicago on Broadway.

On the road he appeared in Cats and Man of LaMancha.

Deanna Hennelly has completed

MLS# 4686951

her first year at Pace University, New York City in the Fine Arts and Theatre Program. Ms. Hennelly is an intern performing in Evita as part of the ensemble and is one of three females to stay with the summer program for all four shows. Vivacious and animated, she carries one along with her enthusiasm for the production.

Nancy Barry, Production Artist Director, earned her undergraduate and graduate degrees from Emerson College in Boston, Massachusetts.

Ms. Barry credits the late Norman Leger, the former Owner/Producer of the New London Barn Playhouse in New London, New Hampshire for giving her the opportunity to spend a summer as Assistant Casting Director.

The following year Ms. Barry took over casting as the Casting Director, the beginning of a 35-year career in theater.

When asked, “How do you decide on the shows to produce?” Ms. Barry answered, “First, I explore what shows are available and will fit together for

the season’s program. Secondly, I ask how the shows appeal to the different classes? We poll a variety of people and determine what will appeal to the audiences. I’ve already applied for and have been granted eight licenses for the 2019 season. Now, my job is to choose four. I base my choices on market studies and data bases. Changes in economy and world affairs and, of course, on the tastes of the various generations.

What appealed to one generation may not appeal to another 10 years later.

For example, after the Stock Market Crash, theatre audiences did not want to see plays they had already seen. They wanted new shows. The 1950’s and 60’s shows appeal to those generations, yet the ‘Baby Boomers’ of the 1970’s have different tastes. When the world is in turmoil, audiences are looking for shows which provide comfort - old and dependable shows, classics, and nostalgia from the past.”

In choosing the right actor for a role, Ms. Barry says she has the “knack and the tool.” Sitting straight and tall on a highbacked chair, she moves a little forward, arms outstretched, hands positioned as though she were holding something. “The Chart,” she states. “I write on ‘The Chart’ each role in the cast of characters. As the actors come on stage to audition, I track who would be just the perfect fit for a certain role and jot the actor’s name next to the role

July 9, 2018 • Summer Theatre Continued from page 22 he or she would be best suited to play. I look for just the right type. Can the actor sing, dance, act? The actor may have a great smile, be handsome or beautiful, but in the end, I go with the talent.”

Ms. Barry knows she has the “knack,” and has proven so for the many other plays she has cast in her 11 years at Inter-Lakes Summer Theatre. She chooses non-Actor’s Equity actors first.

However, Actor’s Equity standards

are followed. She explains, “Most importantly is the fit of actors to roles.”

Ms. Barry also attends all-day Casting Conferences where an actor is brought on stage every 90 seconds and has 60 seconds of song and 30 seconds of monologue.

When asked if auditions are open to local residents, Ms. Barry answered, “Auditions open in March for the Children’s Theatre Company, and also for the other shows. John Findley, Production Stage Manager, a local resident, started acting when he was 11

in the role of one of the Snow Children in Carousel, here at Inter-Lakes Theatre.”

Ms. Barry directed Evan Lazdowski in a musical at Moultonboro Academy from where he recently graduated.

Lazdowski is currently studying opera at Manhattan School of Music. Diana Reidy, a college student studying Musical Theatre lives in Sandwich.

Kitty Stewart, who plays the child in Evita, resides in Holderness and is a sophomore at Plymouth Regional High School.

Understandably, as a student of the

performing arts spending a summer at the Inter-Lakes Theatre as an intern is a valuable experience in deciding where your interests lie.

Whether it be acting, directing, casting or production stage management, InterLakes Theatre encompasses all aspects involved in the production of a show.

Festival called Gross, “Hip sophisticated and very, very funny. A first-class performer,” and the Actor’s Theatre of Nantucket commented, “You were spectacular. Our audiences raved. Our staff raved. And I was raving mad that I missed it. “ His extensive cruise ship contracts for companies including Royal Caribbean, Princess, Carnival, and Celebrity Cruise lines have taken him to far-flung ports including Tierra Del Fuego, Tahiti and Vladivostok, on the far east coast of the former Soviet Union.

Gross’s magic and comedy shows Peter Gross will bring his comedy act to the Village Players Theater on July 14 as part of the theater group’s 40th anniversary celebration. (Courtesy photo) feature plenty of audience participation, spontaneity and memorable moments, so every show is unique. Whether Gross

is working at a comedy club, in a board room or a hotel ballroom, his show is in ‘perfect pitch’ with his audience.

Mentalism allows Gross to combine his interest in magic with his evergrowing fascination with how the mind works, creates meaning and asking the question what is ‘real.’

His show explores the areas beyond scientific explanation with stunts and ‘experiments’ in mind-reading and other forms of extraordinary human potential.

Tickets to the night of comedy and fun can be purchased at Black’s Paper and Gifts in downtown Wolfeboro or online at village-players.com. The show is slated for a 7:30 pm start at the Village Players Theater, which is located on Glendon Street in downtown Wolfeboro. Parking is available a short walk away in the public parking areas behind town hall and at the end of Lehner Street.

Summer Concerts at the Pavilion How do you know summer has arrived? Just drive by 19 Mile Bay Beach Pavilion in Tuftonboro where, on Thursday evenings, you will see and hear some great music.

The Tuftonboro Parks and Recreation has announced the schedule for the Summer Concerts at the Pavilion.

This is the second year of free outdoor concerts, which take place on Thursdays at 6:30 pm through August 9, weather permitting.

July 12 Concord based band Blue Light Rain, musical selections draw from the Greatful Dead’s huge Music Catalog. BLR has been providing great jams and solid Grateful Dead music in New Hampshire and surrounding area Since 2007 .

On July 19, The Sweetbloods return to Tuftonboro and they will perform on the third week of the concert series. Janet and Phil Sanguedolce are a local acoustic duo from Meredith. Their music is well-known in the Lakes Region/White Mountain area, and they specialize in blending tight vocal arrangements with tasteful guitar accompaniment.

The duo’s repertoire is varied and incorporates songs from several genres and time periods. Their music centers around acoustic versions of classic rock tunes, folk rock and country rock tunes intermingled with folk, bluegrass, reggae, calypso, blues, and jazz tunes.

The duo’s primary influences include the Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, the Beatles, the Band, Neil Young, Van

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

mostly upbeat, danceable rock and pop, ranging from the 60s to today. Country and blues also make the band’s playlist.

Granite Planet features something for everyone, both young and old, from Tom Petty to Aerosmith to Luke Bryan to the B52s. From Play That Funky Music to Uptown Funk, their playlist also includes unique versions of familiar songs. Favorites are Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash, performed in a style of Social Distortion, or Stevie Wonder’s Higher Ground in the style of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

On August 2, Acoustic Radio brings new meaning to country/rock. The band is a seacoast-based group consisting of Rick Twombly (Heavens to Murgatroid, It Figures, Monday Men); Don Berrios (3RD Degree, Gang of Weasels); Chris Boyle (The Fabulous Watermans, It Figures) and Mike Waterman (The Fabulous Watermans) and Pete Leavenworth (Lunch at the Dump).

With over a century of live performance experience with musical influences ranging from alternative to classic rock

and country, the band has strong vocals and harmonies and a diverse set list.

Acoustic Radio provides a party-like atmosphere, and the group of seasoned musicians is sure to play something for everyone.

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 ends on August 9 with the Wolfeboro based, Carolyn Ramsay Band (CRB), a collaboration of musical talent brought to life by Carolyn Ramsay on lead vocals and rhythm guitar; Jessica Ramsay on lead vocals, harmony and rhythm guitar; Chuck Farrell on lead guitar; Bud Clark on bass guitar, and Mike Chatigny on percussion and backup vocals.

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.

Concessions including hamburgers and hotdogs will be available for purchase during the concerts. Seating is on the lawn/beach; please bring your favorite chair. For more information visit tuftonboro.org or email parksandrec@ tuftonboro.org.

The Rich Sounds of GENTRY at Great Waters Music Festival If you love the rich sound of the tenor voice, be sure to put GENTRI, “The Gentlemen Trio”, on your calendar for July 13 at Kingswood Arts Center, Wolfeboro. The fresh young singers will give you a peek at the future “greats” and Great Waters Music Festival is proud to present them this summer.

Hailing from Utah, The Gentlemen Trio was established in June, 2014 and is comprised of three highly trained, dynamic tenors: Brad Robins, Casey Elliott and Bradley Quinn Lever.

Pioneering a signature sound they call “Cinematic Pop,” the music of GENTRI is transfused with lush, epic orchestrations and rich, dynamic threepart harmonies all composed by the group’s producer Stephen Nelson.

To date, GENTRI has released an Extended Play musical recording and three full length albums, the most recent being “Hymns” a collection of Christ centered hymns. All of GENTRI’s albums have reached #1 on

various Billboard charts. On the heels of their first album release, the Gents debuted their first music video to their

original hit single, “Dare,” which made international headlines on news outlets around the world, including ABC World

News, NBC Nightly News and Inside Edition.

GENTRI has performed across the United States and shared the stage with world-renowned talent, including Tony Award-winning vocalist Idina Menzel, Tony Award-winning powerhouse Kristin Chenoweth, international tenor sensation Alfie Boe, the legendary rock band Journey, the Salt Lake Symphony and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

Chillin’ While Grillin’ Summer’s Here…Turn Up the Grill!

By Chef Kelly Ross Happy summer to my local friends and vacationers. We are now into the “official” start of summer. The biggest vacation week of the summer has just left us, but we still have many great weeks of summer grilling ahead of us.

Many of the people on vacation right now are camping out for the week or are at their camp on the lake. I understand all too well that when on vacation, you hit local restaurants for some of your meals, and we have many in the area that are outstanding, but camping also means that there is a lot of grilling involved. Locals, too, love to be outside this time of year and that translates to a lot of grilling.

As a long-time chef, I know I speak for many that this is a great time to rip it up on the grill! I spend most of my time going out to eat and spoil myself enjoying our local establishments during the off seasons. But now and then, I say spoil yourselves at home with fun new grilling ideas this time of year. So many just grill the usual items, which is fine, but today I’m going to share some fun and different grilling ideas and recipes that you should give a try. Whether it be this week, next week, or sometime down the road, put some of these recipes in the vault and give them a try. We’ll share a couple burger recipes, a steak tip recipe, and a fun chicken recipe.

One of these days I’ll share some great side dish recipes, but this about getting down-and-dirty on the grill. Let’s start with burgers. The first one my friends have penned as the “Best Burger”, so I’ll call it that for now. I’m not sure it’s

my favorite ever, but it’s pretty darn good. You can name it whatever you want when you are wowing your friends and family, but I’m sure you and your crew will dig this one big time.

This recipe is for 4 six-oz. burgers.

Make them smaller if you feel the need, especially if you want to feed these burgers to the kids. You just have to bulk up on the burger rolls. One requirement when I make burgers for myself and a crowd is to butter the rolls and grill them. It makes such a big difference.

Here is the “need” list.

Best Burgers 1 ½ lbs of ground beef, preferably lean 1/2 sweet onion, finely diced 1/2 cup shredded cheddar 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce 1 egg A one oz. pack of onion soup mix 1-2 cloves of garlic, depending on your

taste, finely diced 1 Tbsp granulated garlic 1 tsp parsley 1 tsp oregano 1/2 tsp crushed rosemary Salt/Pepper to your taste 4 of your favorite burger rolls - I suggest onion rolls Condiment of choice, but I suggest you just enjoy the flavors within Slices of lettuce, tomato, and onion if desired The directions are as basic as it gets.

Other than the burger rolls, condiments and vegetables, combine all ingredients very well in a bowl and form into four patties, or more if preferred. Cook to your desired doneness. Wicked good burger!

The next burger is one I like to call the Pizza Burger. It has some similarities to the last burger, but it also stands alone

at the same time. I have seen this burger in some restaurants, but all chefs put their own twist on it. There are so many optional toppings, just like a pizza.

Design this one to your liking. This baby is a meal unto itself. I don’t need a side dish for this bad boy. Here is the list of goodies needed for four 4-oz. burgers.

Pizza Burgers 1 lb of ground beef, or ½ lb of ground beef and ½ lb of ground sausage 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce 1-2 cloves of minced garlic 1/4 tsp garlic salt 1 tsp oregano 1/2 tsp basil Warm marinara or pizza sauce, ½ - ¾ cup should work 4 thick slices provolone cheese 12-16 thin slices pepperoni, optional Sautéed onions/peppers, optional 4 burger rolls; again, I suggest onion rolls for this one as well In a medium-large bowl, combine the mozzarella and all of the spices, then add the meat and continue to mix well. Form them into four patties. On a hot grill, start the process. Once the burgers are flipped, have your toppings ready. Once you get within a minute or two of your desired burger temperature, spoon on some marinara, top with the provolone and pepperoni and close the grill lid for about a minute for the cheese to melt.

Place the burger on a grilled roll and top with sautéed onions and peppers and dig in and enjoy.

July 9, 2018 • Chillin’ While Grillin’ Continued from page 28 Let’s stay with the beef theme, but how about an upgrade? Burgers are awesome, but let’s talk some steak tips.

I cater many backyard barbecues, from family reunions to graduation parties to weddings, and I do a dozen of so different marinades when doing steak tips. This one is easily my #1 seller.

Here is my Maple Teriyaki Garlic Tips. It’s a simple marinade, but wow, it makes an impact. One thing I strongly suggest you purchase if you like doing steak tips is a meat needler. It might cost you $20.00 or so, but it’s vital to do any marinated meat. The flavor difference between having the meat needled and not is astounding. The needler is a cartridge containing mini knives.

By injecting the meat many times with these little knives, the marinade is able to get right inside the meat, and if you have never done this before, you will notice the difference in your first bite. As for the cut of meat you use when cutting your steak tips, that is totally your call. However, I wouldn’t suggest a really high end cut, as in a tenderloin, rib eye, or NY sirloin. I usually go with a London broil or skirt steak, but do whatever is to your liking. This recipe will feed four. I strongly suggest you marinade these tips in a Ziploc bag for 24 hours before grilling. These tips are like candy. You will need the following.

Maple Teriyaki Garlic Tips 2 ½ lbs. of steak, cut into 1 ½- 2 inch cubes. (If too small, they will easily overcook.)

1 cup of maple syrup. (Artificial is fine for a marinade, not for pancakes.)

1 ½ cups of teriyaki glaze 1/2 cup minced garlic 1/2 cup sesame oil, or vegetable oil if sesame oil is not your thing 1 Tbsp ground ginger 1 Tbsp sesame seeds 1 Tbsp fresh ground black pepper Pan release spray 2 bunches of scallions, finely sliced Start by combining the maple syrup,

teriyaki, garlic, oil, ginger, pepper and sesame seeds in a bowl, mixing well.

Needle the steaks on both sides, each for 30 seconds. Cut your steak to the size mentioned and put the tips and marinade into a large Ziploc and shake well to get the marinade well involved with the meat. Refrigerate for a day or so. Once ready to cook, spray a hot grill with the pan release and with a set of tongs, pull the tips out of the bag and place on the grill. I suggest you baby sit the tips. I have grilled many meats and taken a walk away for whatever reason, but this is one you’re best to stay with.

Depending on your grill, the sugar in the maple syrup can burn the tips if you aren’t paying attention. Flip after 3-4 minutes and then finish to your liking.

Top with chopped scallions and let your taste buds have a blast.

Last on today’s list of grilling fun is a chicken and bacon skewer with a fun hint of heat. This one is called Sriracha Chicken Bacon Ranch Skewers. This can be used as an appetizer or a main course. The great combination of flavors is killer and very fun. They only take 5-10 minutes to prep and they cook up quickly as well. This recipe is for 8 skewers and here is what you will need to buy.

Sriracha Chicken Bacon Ranch Skewers 1/2 cup of ranch, or even better, bacon ranch dressing 1/3 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce 1 tsp chili powder 1 tsp ground cumin 1 ½ Tbsp sriracha sauce 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 8 equal sized strips 8 strips uncooked bacon Pan release spray 8 metal skewers, or 8 wooden skewers, soaked in water In a mixing bowl, combine the ranch dressing, barbecue sauce, chili powder, cumin, and sriracha sauce. Stir well. In a large Ziploc, add the chicken strips and marinade and turn and squeeze to coat well. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but up to 8 hours is best. Take the chicken fingers out of the marinade and place on a pan and place a strip of bacon over each piece of chicken. With your skewer, go in and out with the chicken and bacon to secure both very well on the skewer. Spray your grill and cook on a medium heat with the lid closed, turning occasionally until done, generally 10-12 minutes. These will create many smiles.

I hope you find these recipes as fun and awesome as my circle of friends and family and I do. Have an awesome week and keep on Chillin’ While Grillin’.

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

Comedy returns to Pitman’s Freight Room in Laconia on Saturday, July 14 at 9 pm with a double headliner event featuring international star Orlando Baxter, who will be making his first appearance at Pitman’s, along with Larry Myles, who is back home in the New England area after touring the south.

Baxter’s television appearances include Comedy Central, Conan O’Brien, Gotham TV Live, Comedy Up Late, NBC’s Stand Up, WBET, and more. He is a regular in Las Vegas and Atlantic City, and has been a finalist in the Boston Comedy Festival.

Baxter’s international tours include the Montreaux Comedy Festival in Switzerland, where he was a finalist, the Melbourne Australia Comedy Festival, the Edinburgh Festival in Scotland, the Johannesburg International Comedy Festival in South Africa, The Stand Up Turku Festival in Finland, and the Baltic State Comedy Tour in Finland and Norway.

at Pitman’s since 2014.

“We have been doing comedy at Pitman’s for nearly six years and this is the first chance we have had to bring in Orlando,” said Michael Smith, of Laugh Riot Productions, which schedules the monthly comedy shows at Pitman’s and comedy fundraisers throughout New England. “Orlando is on the road so much we jumped when we finally had the chance to book him.”

And it’s been nearly four years since Larry Myles has been at Pitman’s.

“This is an outstanding one-two punch,” added Smith. “For our regular comedy attendees, Baxter has never been here and for our regulars, it’s been four years since Larry Myles has appeared at Pitman’s.”

Pitman’s owner Dick Mitchell is also anticipating a great show and a solid turnout.

“We are really looking forward to this show,” said Mitchell. “The summer crowds have really been turning out the past two or three years. We’re hoping that this will be a great draw.”

Pitman’s Freight Room is located at 94 New Salem Street in Laconia. Tickets are $20.00 and Pitman’s is a bringyour-own-food-and-drinks venue. For tickets call 603-527-0043 or 603-4943334. For additional information on the show, email msmith7892002@yahoo. com.

Join the NH Furniture Masters at Castle in the Clouds The New Hampshire Furniture Masters Association (NHFM) was formed in 1993 by a core group of furniture makers and several Concordarea business men and women. The founders had one goal in mind: to build public awareness of New Hampshire’s fine furniture makers and to cultivate an audience for their goods closer to home.

The Furniture Masters continue striving to spread awareness of their craft into the present, working collaboratively and leveraging their potent body of collective knowledge and experience to stimulate one another’s creative output.

With this in mind, the New Hampshire Furniture Masters Association will make a pop-up appearance on July 15 at Castle in the Clouds, 455 Mountain Road in Moultonborough. The event features a Daytime Exhibit from 10 am to 5:30 pm and a ticketed Evening Reception from 6 to 7:30 pm.

It’s Fika Time at the Scandinavian Baking in Chocorua

By Ryan Pacheco The first and third Saturdays of the month are a busy time for Betty Schneider, owner of Scandinavian Baking located in Chocorua, New Hampshire. Twice a month, her downstairs parlor-turned bakery shop holds “Fika,” a Swedish tradition in which time is spared to enjoy fresh coffee, tea and baked goods with friends, family and the community.

On this day, a slice of Scandinavian Almond Cake is complementary, along with coffee and tea. During Fika, there’s always room for one more guest, as homes and families open up to enjoy a fleeting moment of peace and camaraderie with all who are willing to participate. “Human interaction has been sacrificed at an alarming rate in recent years. Families sit down to eat together, only to individually isolate themselves with their cell phones. It’s heartbreaking to watch, and Fika is a time to do more than be alone together,” Betty reflects, as she pours fresh coffee.

“Growing up, my mother would always host Fika, as is a tradition in our family’s native Sweden. It was open to anyone, and often the postman

or handyman working on our property would be seated at our table with us, eating and enjoying a moment to just sit and talk about life or other things,” Betty remembers. “In hindsight, I wonder if the postman would time his route, as to show up in time for Fika.”

Betty’s childhood inspired her to continue sharing moments like those with the community, in the same way her passion for baking was instilled at a young age. “When I was a child, I would watch my mother baking, and believed it to be magic when the yeast would cause the dough to rise.”

While baking was always a passion, Betty would hardly have guessed her authentic creations would become a business venture, let alone earn her media attention, such as coverage on a 2016 episode of New Hampshire Chronicle. She has also been awarded New Hampshire Magazine’s “Best of 2017”, and even received commemoration from the Governor of New Hampshire, for her efforts to bring the tradition of Fika to the state.

Having relocated from New Orleans with her husband 12 years ago, Betty opened for business just a year later,

originally operating a baked goods cart before moving the operation into her home.

“We had hired contractors to renovate our home when we moved to New Hampshire,” she says. “Day and night, they worked to turn our dream into a reality, and we wished to show gratitude for their hard work. To thank the contractors, I baked enough treats to give to everyone. It was their reaction, and their encouragement to sell my baking which lead me to turn my passion into something I could share with the community.”

Since opening for business 11 years ago, Scandinavian Baking has received overwhelming praise from the community, as well as from tourists who’ve visited the area before.

While inspiringly humble, Betty is very thankful for her patrons. “People come in as strangers, but leave as friends.

We still receive Christmas cards from the customers we’ve come to know over the years. It’s just a wonderful thing to behold, and Fika seems to be bringing people together. I’ve sold out of all but

one cake, and witnessed customers who have never met. I offer to sell in halves so that each person could walk away with something delicious.”

The sense of wholesomeness and welcoming only increases over the summer, when customers can sit outside on the porch, enjoying casual conversation and a warm summer’s breeze.

For more information on Fika, call 603-323-2021If you’d like to taste more of Betty’s baking, the shop is open Tuesday through Saturday from 7 am to 4 pm. You will be greeted with a warm smile, and some of Betty Schneider’s signature friendliness. Coffee and tea are always complementary, and every detail is considered to give customers an experience worth repeating.

To Betty Schneider, baking is more than a career. It is more an exercise in her unwavering commitment to sharing what she loves with the community.

Get Artistic at the Meredith Fine Craft Gallery!

The League of New Hampshire Craftsmen - The Meredith Fine Craft Gallery invites you to learn to make your own Dichroic Glass Pendants during a two-day class with Leaguejuried artist, Lynn Haust, on Saturday, July 21 from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm and Sunday, July 29 from 1 to 4 pm. Come and find out why melting glass is so fun and addictive in this fast paced class that will give you a chance to explore kiln fired glass and many of the techniques that make melting glass so exciting. In this class, you will be using Bullseye glass to create several glass pendants.

On day-one, students will be using clear and black dichroic glass as a base and then layering colored dichroic glass over to create sparkle and depth. They also will cut and assemble two pieces of glass that will be fully fused into large squares.

In the second class, students will cut and shape full fused glass into pendants, using a variety of cold working techniques. You will gain cold working experience by using different equipment to achieve the desired pendant shapes.

The cold working equipment inclues grinder, flat lap grinder, glass band saw and drill press. Before firing a second time to fire polish your work, you will add fine silver to create a way to hang your pendant.

Your pendants will be fired and annealed off-site and you will be notified when they are available for pick-up within a few days after the class.

Tuition is $115.00 per student and includes all glass materials and several silver chains. Beginners and advanced

students, age 12 and up, are welcome to participate. Space is limited and preregistration is required.

Firewood Insects – the Unwelcome Visitors

By Mark Foynes The Granite State is in clear and present danger of being invaded, mostly by unwelcome pests crossing the state’s southern border.

They are unwanted non-natives, insects that wreak havoc on cherished tree species like red maple, hemlock, birch, and white ash.

The potential plague includes the likes of the wooly adelgid, the Asian longhorn beetle, and the emerald ash borer - the last of which has become the poster child for mass deforestation in other parts of the country.

Most of these invasive, tree-hungry insects probably arrived stateside in wooden shipping materials that were transported from the Far East. While several native insects can also cause damage to the health of our woodlands, invasive species are especially insidious. Many of the most impactful insects don’t have local predators that can keep their populations in check.

To stem this migration of invasive bugs into Granite State forests, the Department of Agriculture has taken the lead by securing measures that restrict the transport of out-of-state firewood.

Long story short is that it’s illegal in the state of New Hampshire to transport firewood over state lines. (Maine and other states have similar bans).

Local folks who endure the long winters via wood heat usually cut from their own lots or enlist a nearby vendor who sells by the cord. Most non-New Hampshire firewood is brought here by

Asian Longhorned Beetle tourists and campers to stoke their fire pits. The state asks visitors traveling to New Hampshire to enjoy the state’s natural beauty to be partners in an effort to protect our forests.

“One of the top causes of the introduction of non-native invasives is the bringing of firewood from infected areas into non-infected areas,” explained state entomologist Piera Siegert. As such, she’s the state’s leading expert on insects.

“It’s like giving destructive species a free ride and a welcome mat,” Siegert added.

In New Hampshire, it is illegal to transport firewood across state lines for this very reason.

She said that the Department of Agriculture, which oversees firewood sales, prefers to educate people rather than to take punitive measures.

“Nobody willingly wants to put our

cherished forests at risk, so we want to give people the tools that they can use,” she added.

Nonetheless, she said that authorized officials have the ability to confiscate wood that’s believed to originate from out of state.

“That’s something no one wants,” Siegert said.

Her advice: “Buy local; burn local.”

Siegert referred to outbreaks in other states as cautionary tales.

For example, in Michigan alone, the emerald ash borer (EAB) has killed an estimated 30 million trees.

Where groves of these hardwoods once prospered, there are now acres of defoliated, lifeless snags. They serve as a reminder of the grandeur of this proud species that’s all been wiped out within a decade in the Wolverine State. An ash tree infested by EAB is often lifeless within three to five years. Adult beetles lay their eggs beneath the bark into the rich sapwood of the ash. Once hatched, the pupae gird the tree, preventing it to transmit nutrients along the grain.

The forest composition of the upper Midwest is similar to New Hampshire’s, so it’s conceivable that a lack of management and public cooperation could render the same results here. EAB has been migrating eastward in the past decade. The metallic-green colored beetle has been identified in upstate New York, Vermont, and even a few isolated New Hampshire communities, including Canterbury and Concord.

Monitoring efforts continue, according to Siegert.

As an example, she mentioned the distinctively purple triangular boxes that dangle from strategically identified ash trees across the state. Siegert

explained they’re traps that contain two key elements - a scent that attracts the beetles and a fly tape-like adhesive that stops them in their tracks.

The purpose of the purple boxes isn’t eradication, however. Instead it’s detection and education. Siegert explained that state monitors check them periodically to track the spread of EAB. “[They] are also one of our best publicity tools, too,” she continued, noting that her office has taken several calls about what the purple boxes are.

While insects will migrate where they will, Siegert said the biggest cause of the spread of invasive insects is human activity that, while unintentional, is entirely preventable.

And as the summer travel and camping season surges into full swing, procuring locally sourced fire pit wood is perhaps the easiest way to obviate an onslaught of invasives.

“We just ask people to remember that local firewood is good firewood - using it protects our forests, protects the rural experience that visitors come here to enjoy, and even does a little to support the local economy,” Siegert said.

The state entomologist recommended that there are several local vendors who sell camp wood by the bundle, and that prices vary in what she called a “free marketplace where you can pick and choose.”

Siegert also recommended www. firewoodscout.org. She said that with some 500 vendors listed, New Hampshire has more approved suppliers than any other participating state.

(Although geographically small, New Hampshire is the second most forested state in the U.S., so learning this came as little surprise).

EAB isn’t the only invasive that causes heartburn for entomologists and foresters looking to advance best management practices in woodlot maintenance.

Just next door, in Massachusetts, there’s been an ongoing battle with the Asian longhorned beetle, which has an insatiable appetite for white birch and red maple - two of our iconic hardwoods up here in the Granite State.

The Worcester area was hit particularly hard by this plague of invasives, with the city and several suburbs being placed under quarantine.

Local, state, federal, and non-profit efforts have successfully eradicated the beetle from Boston and officials believe they have the infestation under control in Worcester. Nonetheless, nhbugs.org (a joint endeavor of the New Hampshire Department of Agriculture, the Division of Forests and Lands, and UNH Cooperative), suggests that the risk of a spread is still present. A page on the website devoted to the Asian longhorned beetle offers a link for people who have transported Worcester-sourced firewood since the 2008 outbreak.

Another threat is the invasive hemlock wooly adelgid. It’s a flightless aphidlike insect that inhabits the underside of hemlock needles and can kill a mature tree in a decade. By infecting the needles, the adelgid deprives the tree of nutrients, making it weaker and susceptible to other insects.

Hemlocks are shallow-rooted softwoods that often thrive in forest bottomlands where moisture is abundant. As hearty native softwood, they can inhabit a multitude of landscapes; however, they cluster in thick groves down ridge from higher elevations.

Hemlocks are a vital part of the local forest ecology, and are especially important to deer. Since they thrive in valleys and retain their needles throughout the winter, they provide vital shelter to whitetails during the cold months. (Snowshoers will certainly know this from noting their prints in the snow and from observing places where the underbrush has been matted down from the previous evening).

Being a softwood, hemlock is not too highly valued as stove wood for deep winter burning but it does go great in the fire pit, burning brightly, easily and quickly. Many locals, campers, and tourists relegate the species to “campwood status.” (I’ve known some wood vendors who say that hemlock and white pine are the most popular species among clients, since both light quickly and burn fast, obviating the need to extinguish long-lasting hardwood embers once the last s’more is eaten).

Siegert, the state entomologist is happy to talk bugs. But for her, the takeaway is that locals and visitors alike can help protect the forests that are key to defining the Granite State landscape.

“A good rule of thumb is to play it safe and just buy local,” she summarized.

After having Siegert stress the value of firewoodscout.org several times, I decided to visit the site. It does indeed provide searchers with dozens of vendors within a 10-mile radius of a given municipality. There’s a search box, so it gives you nearby results for any location in New Hampshire.

Using the geographical search tool, I simply typed in Moultonborough and immediately got 16 results. One of them is Long Island Bridge Campground.

When I called, I was greeted by Kathy Lawrence, who was happy to talk camp wood with me on a recent afternoon.

“It’s part of the experience and we want to help our visitors have the best time possible,” she explained. Lawrence said they sell camp wood on-site for $4 a bundle, which is about the going rate.

She said that her provider is a logger from the Ossipee Mountains.

We also recently visited Lakes Region Yurts in Alton, which rents a small round dwelling nestled on a 30acre wooded parcel. Co-owner Wendy Pinkham said her facility sells unlimited firewood for the firepit and woodstove for an additional $15.

“It’s about the best deal in the area,” she said, noting that the splits are harvested right on site.

Entomologist Siegert summarized the importance of folks’ cooperation by saying, “We welcome visitors who come here to enjoy the serenity in summer and the spectacular fall foliage, and a little help is preserving what makes this state special is greatly appreciated.”

A few tips and resources: A great place to shop ahead or do some camp wood vendor research is firewoodscout.org/s/NH/. Siegert recommends the site and says that many sellers list their prices, allowing folks to comparison shop. She said some, but not all, will set aside a limited amount of bundles if they know you are coming. The site lists phone numbers and, when applicable, e-mails and websites.

Once you buy New Hampshire-grown and processed firewood, ask for a receipt - preferably with an address. In the event that you are stopped at a checkpoint and an official asks about the origin of your wood, you will have the necessary documentation to verify your wood’s origin.

There are scores of locals who cut, split, and sell their own wood. If you don’t have a chance to plan ahead, there

is no shortage of roadside, honor system places to buy camp wood. I’ve seen wood bundled traditionally in pallet wrap, offered by the wheelbarrow load, and stuffed tight into empty bags of pig feed (sometimes goat). Usually there’s a sign that states the price and a coffee can with a slit cut into the top where you can deposit your money. This is a great New Hampshire tradition worth supporting.

Check the classifieds of the local newspaper for firewood dealers. Some advertise rates by the bundle. Nonetheless, some sellers who sell by the cord might be willing to sell you a small amount to fuel a few campfires.

Of course, many supermarkets and convenience marts sell wood by the bundle, too, We found several on

woodscout.org, but the pile of bundles are pretty darned near ubiquitous this time of year. (Again, keep your receipt in case a law enforcement officer asks about your camp wood.)

If you are staying at a campground, they might have camp wood already onsite, split, seasoned, and ready to burn.

Call your reservations clerk to verify.

To learn more about invasive tree-killing insects, visit nhbugs.org. There you will find species-specific information relating to the critters mentioned here as well as other pests like spruce budworm, white pine blister rust, winter moth, and others. The site also lists contact information for people to use if they identify an insect they think might be an invasive.

Summer Happenings Around Sandwich Around Sandwich

By Diane Cook Johnson With summer well underway, there are many things to do and places to go in the Sandwich area. Whether you are looking for an evening performance or a gallery exhibit, a hiking spot or a class, Sandwich offers many things; you are sure to find something to please.

Sandwich on Stage This summer, the Sandwich Historical Society(SHS) is featuring a special exhibit called Sandwich on Stage: A revue of theater through the years.

The exhibit traces the history of The Sandwich Players, Girl Scouts, Chautauqua, Advice To The Players, and more. Come see your friends, neighbors, loved ones, teachers all decked out in wonderful costumes or hard at work behind the scenes. Enjoy the costumes, posters, and ephemera … there is a little something for everyone.

A very special addition to this year’s exhibit is the SHS collection of videos of The Sandwich Players’ and Advice To The Players’ past productions, as well as recent video donations received from the community. Come each week for special viewings and share your own memories of past productions… whether as an audience member or a cast member. Beginning each week, SHS will post the coming week’s attraction

at www.sandwichhistorical.org.

Along with the special summer exhibit, the Elisha Marston House and Barn are ready to take visitors back in time through beautiful, perioddecorated rooms to imagine how life used to be. The two-story barn is filled with all manner of early tools, furniture, signs, and collections of household objects, most from early Sandwich families.

Another gem is the gift shop, located just to the left of the visitor’s entrance.

Decorated like an old country store, it is filled with an eclectic mix of treasures. Although a small space, there are beautiful displays and some new products.

A short walk from the Elisha Marston house (past Town Hall) is the Quimby Transportation Museum, where one will find an amazing collection of conveyances and a Concord Coach, which is owned by the Town of Sandwich.

After the Transportation Museum, take another short walk to the Grange Hall, which used to be Mt. Israel Grange No. 158. Now home to some of the SHS’s collection and a beautifully painted stage curtain on the second floor, the Grange Hall is another treasure not to be missed.

Critters at Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery “Critters” a fresh, new, creative and humorous exhibit of wire drawings by Madeleine Lord. It is on display at Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery.. Inspired by the work of Alexander Calder at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston where she teaches, Lord has created drawings made from one piece of bended wire.

Unlike paint brush strokes that can be all lengths, the wire has a beginning and an end. As Lord twists, bends and knots the wire, unique critters take shape. A donkey’s curly mane adds sass to its body, while a Camel ambles through the desert to visit a pyramid. The Critters make you smile while their ingenious fabrication gives pause for thought.

The Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery is located at 69 Maple Street in Center Sandwich. Hours are from 10 am to 5 pm, Mondays to Saturdays and noon to 5 pm on Sunday. For more information, visit www.patricialaddcarega.com or call 603-284-7728.

SHI and SCC Teaming Up Sandwich Home Industries and the Sandwich Children’s Center (SCC) are teaming up to offer very affordable children’s classes at the Children’ Center. The goal is to help keep the kiddos in creative mode this summer!

Kathryn Field will teach Animals in Clay on July 13 and August 17. Kids can create their favorite animal in clay

using the pinch-and-coil method of building. Pictures of animals will be the starting point, but imagination and fantasy creatures are welcome to be built. All ages are welcome; no prior experience is necessary. All materials are provided.

Also, Kathryn Field will teach Collage with Color on July 13 and August 17. Using simple tools such as scissors, glue sticks and lots of colored paper, each child will create a unique collage based on images of animals that will be provided. All ages are welcome no - prior experience necessary. All materials are provided.

Wet Felted Pillow is the subject taught by Diane Johnson on July 11.

Get your hands wet and soapy to create an underwater themed wool felt picture square which will be sewn (by the instructor after the class) into a cuddly pillow to take home.

Diane Johnson will also teach Needle and Wet Felting on July 25. Students will spend the first hour designing, creating and needle-felting a picture or geometric design on a 12- by 12in. wool square. The last 15 minutes, students will get their hands wet and soapy as they do some wet felting to smooth the surface. The squares can then be sewn into a bag or pillow by the instructor after class or taken home that day as a wall hanging. For information, call the Sandwich Home Industries at 603-284-6831.

Classes at Field Fine Art Want to learn all about watercolor?

Plan to take a workshop in this fun painting medium on July 19 from 8:30 am to 3 pm at Field Fine Art. The workshop will focus on drawing the landscape and painting with watercolors.

Riveting Tale of Horror at Wolfeboro Public Library’s Mystery Book Group

GMCG Seeks Water Quality Monitoring Volunteers

Before there was Gone Girl, there were Sharp Objects and Dark Places, two dark, twisting thrillers with main female characters you won’t soon forget. On Friday, July 27 at 10 am, the It’s a Mystery book group of Wolfeboro Public Library will meet to discuss Dark Places, author Gillian Flynn’s second novel.

When Libby Day’s mother and two older sisters were slaughtered in the family’s Kansas farmhouse, it was seven-year-old Libby’s testimony that sent her 15-year-old brother, Ben, to prison for life. Desperate for cash 24 years later, Libby reluctantly agrees to meet members of the Kill Club, true-crime enthusiasts who bicker over famous cases. She’s shocked to learn that most of them believe Ben is innocent and the real killer is still on the loose.

Though initially interested only in making some quick money hocking family memorabilia, Libby is soon drawn into the club’s pseudoinvestigation, and begins to question what exactly she saw—or didn’t see— the night of the tragedy. In alternating chapters, Flynn fluidly moves between cynical present-day Libby and the hours of January 1985 leading up to the murders through the eyes of her mother and brother. When the truth emerges, it’s so twisted that even the most astute readers won’t have predicted it.

Flynn’s slickly plotted story deftly

The Green Mountain Conservation Group (GMCG) is seeking water quality monitoring volunteers for the summer/fall sampling season. Volunteers will “adopt” a water sampling site for biweekly testing to be done in the mornings.

Sampling sites are located throughout the Ossipee Watershed including the towns of Eaton, Effingham, Freedom, Madison, Ossipee, Sandwich, and Tamworth. If you like to get outdoors and give back to your local community, please contact GMCG by phone at 603-539-1859, by email at water@ gmcg.org, or stop by in person at 196 Huntress Bridge Road, Effingham, NH for more information.

The Green Mountain Conservation Group (GMCG) is a community-based,

shows the fallibility of memory and the lies a child tells herself to get through a trauma. Libby is a sardonic, disagreeable and unreliable narrator; New York Magazine said, “It’s Flynn’s gift that she can make a caustic, selfloathing, unpleasant protagonist someone you come to root for, even if you never entirely like her.” Dark Places was named to the lists of Best Books of 2009 by both The New Yorker and Publishers Weekly.

One week before the book discussion, on Friday, July 20 at 1:30 pm, the library will show the 2015 film that was based on Flynn’s book, starring Charlize Theron and Christina Hendricks. Viewers do not necessarily have to anteed the book discussion to view this movie. The screening is free and open to everyone.

New members are always welcomed to join the book group and nearly every meeting sees a new face or two. In order to participate, you simply need to read the chosen book and then show up with your thoughts for a great chat. Pick up a copy of the book at the library today – the library is open Monday through Thursday from 9:30 am to 8 pm, and Friday and Saturday from 9:30 am to 5 pm.

The library will serve refreshments at the discussion get-together. For more information, call 603-569-2428 or visit www.wolfeborolibrary.org.

Antiques Galore at Wolfeboro Antiques & Artisan Barn The Antiques Group Shop at the Wolfeboro Antiques & Artisan Barn is under new management. The shop is located in the grand 1765 two-story dairy barn that was once part of the old Allen A Resort on Rt. 28 in Wolfeboro.

The almost 300-year-old venue creates an authentic backdrop to display quality antiques and artisan goods.

Kyle Copeland, the new shop manager, worked in a finance and higher education administration background for 12 years before taking on this new project. He has an MBA and M.Ed. and taught adjunct courses while a Financial Aid Administrator at SNHU and other colleges throughout the Northeast.

After his father’s death a few years ago, Kyle needed a change, which lead to the new venture. The shop has been in business for almost 20 years and was formerly known as the “1810 House” but Kyle has put his special touches on things, updating the shop and bringing in several new dealers into the fold.

The Barn’s 30 dealers and artisans have worked hard to get ready for another wonderful summer season.

In addition to traditional antiques and Americana, you’ll also find local furniture, art, hooked rugs, textiles, repurposed decor and garden accouterments. Browsing through the shop you’ll see the walls are decorated

Year 1985 1990 1992 1995 1998 2000 2001 2001 2011

with Kyle’s assemblage art which he creates from old license plates. These art pieces are great for NH homes, lake houses and camps and make excellent gifts. Another talented local artisan creates sculpture from old railroad spikes and other iron implements.

Kyle is currently looking for more local artisans to enhance the creative diversity of the shop.

One unique feature the Wolfeboro Antiques & Artisan Barn offers is a Wish List for its regular customers. If folks come into the Barn looking for a

specific item, there is a log where they can record what they seek and Kyle and his dealers can then be on the lookout as they gather new items for the shop.

This service has worked out well many times in the past and it is offered free of charge.

Kyle Copeland lives on Ossipee Lake

with his wife, Rachel, and their Black Lab Emma. For more information on the Wolfeboro Antiques & Artisan Barn please visit “@Wolfeboro Barn” on Facebook, or call the owner Kyle Copeland at 603-409-0736.

Another highlight of a visit to the barn is the Winnipesaukee Winery, which is owned by winemaker Heidi vonGotz Cogean. Heidi and her partner, Christopher, moved to Wolfeboro almost two years ago from Bristol, NH, so they could expand their harvest and wine business by growing their own grapes.

A visit with Heidi is entertaining and enlightening. She is well versed in the history of the 1810 House Barn and Everett Albee, who was a Wolfeboro town icon for many years.

For more information, visit https:// winniwinery.com or call 603-4550182. Heidi also runs the 1810 House Bed & Breakfast, which has luxurious rooms, private baths with Jacuzzis and is open year round. For reservations, visit www.1810house.net or call 603515-1765.

Art at the Gafney Closing Reception Sixty pieces of artwork will be given away on Saturday, July 21 from 2 to 4 pm in the Wakefield Opera House at the closing reception for the Gafney Library’s “Art at the Gafney 2018” annual fundraiser. The Opera House is located in Sanbornville, NH. During June and July, 60 artists have displayed their artwork at the Gafney, located in Sanbornville and attached to the Wakefield Town Hall. Each artist has two pieces on display – one for show or sale, and the other is donated to the Gafney as a raffle item.

During the reception on July 21, the winning tickets will be drawn. Friends of Wakefield Library members will provide refreshments.

Marcus and Eileen Green, faculty members at the New Hampshire Institute of Art, recently spent a few hours in Sanbornville looking over the more than 116 creations in the Gafney Library “Art at the Gafney 2018” fundraiser, with an eye toward choosing the Gafney Judges Awards. Though all the pieces were deemed of excellent quality, several stood out for them.

In the category of oil/acrylic/enamel, the Judges Awards went to Teresa Williams for “Orange Begonias and Yellow Apple” in oil; Shawn Pelech for “Clouds” in oil; Mabel Doyle for “Comfort” in oil, and Norman Royle for “Fifty Chevy” in acrylic.

In the category of mixed media/collage/ glass/jewelry/sculpture/encaustic the Judges Awards went to Liese Gauthier for “No Less Contagious” mixed media; Ron Fountain for his piece in wood;

Poppies, photography, by Mikel O’Brien.

Suze Shaw for “Dragon Fly on Water” stained glass, and Kathleen Codyrachel for “Unstoppable Love” mixed media.

In the category of water color/ gouache/pastel, the Judges Awards went to Karen Nastuk for “Clifton Dock” in watercolor; Maureen McCarthy for “King of the Hill” a Giclee print; Ron Harrison for “Grand Central Gaggle” in watercolor, and Grace Ferguson for “Approaching Storm” in watercolor.

In the category of photography, the Judges Awards went to Martha Pike for “Red Barn at Dusk, Brookfield, NH”; to Valerie Schurer Christle for “Chocorua”; to Susan Trayes for “Dog Tag Memoria”; and to Maryanne O’Mara for “The Causeway, Bridgeton, Maine.”

In the last category, prints/digital prints/fiber/crafts/ink/pencil/music/

other, the awards for Judges Choice went to Gregory LaPierre for “The Boathouse” a screen print; Emily March for “Drawing Dragons” a digital painting; Robin Cornwell for “Collecting Pinecones” a fabric piece and to Ken Eason for “Dreamtime Series” encaustic mono type on Kozo paper.

A special honorable mention was awarded to cellist Cynthia Kalkhoff for “Seasons and Celebrations 2017” a music CD. Marcus Greene grew up in the Carolinas, completed a diploma in painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, and a Master of Fine Arts degree at Indiana University. He has taught drawing, painting, sculpture, and mixed media for 30 years, full-time in three separate

college and university contexts, and has chaired the Foundation and Fine Arts Departments at the New Hampshire Institute of Art, where he has been for the last 16 years and remains a faculty member. Marcus has had work in a number of academic, public, and private galleries and collections. He creates art in a variety of forms; lately, it is primarily abstract painting with some figural, and especially landscape or spatial reference.

Eileen Greene grew up in Reading, Pennsylvania, studied at Kutztown University, and completed her diploma in Painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, where she met Marcus.

Eileen completed her Master of Fine Arts degree at the Savannah College of Art and Design, where she began her career teaching foundations drawing and design, and introductory oil and water-media painting classes in college settings for the past 27 years. She is currently an adjunct faculty member at the New Hampshire Institute of Art and at NHTI’s Concord Community College. Her work has been shown in numerous academic and public settings.

Her oil and water color paintings are primarily poetically interpreted still life and landscape.

There is still time to purchase a raffle ticket and place it on a donated item of choice. The exhibit and tickets are on sale during open Gafney hours of Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday 1 to 7 pm, and Friday and Saturday 9 am to 12:30 pm. For more information, call the library at 603-522-3401.

Loon Chicks Are Hatching!

The Loon Preservation Committee (LPC) reports that loon chicks are hatching on lakes around the state, making them vulnerable to disturbance as human activity increases on the lakes. If you see an adult loon or loon with chicks, please make sure to stay at least 150 feet from them so the loon parents can concentrate on taking care of themselves and their chicks. If the adult shows any signs of distress, such as craning its neck low over the water, thrashing about in the water, or vocalizing, please give them more space. Newly hatched chicks are small, dark and cannot easily dive, so please use caution if you are traveling by boat.

“Many loon pairs will either have very young chicks or still be on the nest in July,” said Harry Vogel, Senior Biologist/Executive Director of the Loon Preservation Committee. “In either case, it’s imperative that we give them some space to minimize disturbances at these very vulnerable times in their life cycles.”

In 2017, Loon Preservation Committee biologists recorded 168 loon chicks hatched, but 25% of those chicks did not survive. Last year loon breeding success was lower than necessary to maintain a stable loon population despite management efforts by staff and volunteers of the Loon Preservation Committee. LPC biologists are hoping for a better season this year for New Hampshire’s threatened loon population, with more chicks hatched

and more chicks surviving. This, of course, depends on the public giving loons plenty of space and watching them through binoculars.

The annual Loon Census will take place on Saturday, July 21 from 8 to 9 am. This mid-season count gives LPC a “snapshot” on loon productivity throughout the state and is rolled into season-long monitoring. If you would like to participate, please contact LPC at 603-476-5666 or email volunteers@ loon.org. LPC’s annual Loon Festival, a free family event, takes place at The Loon Center from 10 am to 2 pm the same day.

Tackle Buyback Program Launched The Loon Preservation Committee and New Hampshire Fish and Game want to remind anglers about the ban on the use of lead sinkers and jigs weighing one ounce or less that went into effect June 1, 2016 for all freshwater in the state. The Loon Preservation Committee has recorded five cases of lead poisoned loons from ingested lead fishing tackle this year. Four of the poisoned loons

died despite concerted efforts to save them, while the fifth, released after removal of the lead and rehabilitation, faces an uncertain future.

It is early in the season to have this many lead poisoned loons. July and August are historically the months when lead poisoned loons are most often found. At least three of the loons had associated tackle (hooks, line, etc.) indicating that ingested tackle was likely from current fishing activity and not from old tackle on the bottom.

In 2017, a total of eight loons were confirmed dead after ingesting lead sinkers and jigs up to 1.3 ounces. These loons were discovered on lakes or ponds across the state in Alton, Auburn, Danbury, Franklin, Moultonborough, Pittsburg and Sunapee. A loon will die from lead poisoning approximately two to four weeks after ingesting lead fishing tackle.

To address this issue and help anglers dispose of lead sinkers and jigs they can no longer use, the Loon Preservation Committee and NH Fish & Game Department have teamed up with two local tackle shops to offer a lead tackle buy-back program. From now through Labor Day (September 3), or until the initial 200 certificates are claimed, anglers can exchange one ounce or more of banned tackle (jigs and sinkers) for a $10 gift certificate redeemable at participating shops: AJ’s Tackle (Meredith, NH), and The Tackle

Shack (Newbury, NH). Only banned tackle is eligible for exchange as part of the buy-back program. One exchange is permitted per customer.

The Loon Preservation Committee and New Hampshire Fish & Game Department are working cooperatively with many other organizations to educate anglers about the effects of lead poisoning on loons. Fish Lead Free (www.fishleadfree.org), is a multi-partner, region-wide initiative dedicated to providing resources for anglers across New England to help them make the switch to lead-free tackle. Safe alternatives to lead tackle, made of steel, tungsten, tin, bismuth and many other materials, are effective and readily available. Learn more tips and tactics for fishing lead free at www. wildnh.com/fishing/get-the-lead-out. html. Collection receptacles for old lead tackle can be found at all New Hampshire Fish and Game offices, at The Loon Center in Moultonborough, at the NH Lakes Association office in Concord, and at several transfer stations.

The Loon Preservation Committee (www.loon.org) works to protect loons throughout the state as part of its mission to restore and maintain a healthy population of loons in New Hampshire; to monitor the health and productivity of loon populations as sentinels of environmental quality; and to promote a greater understanding of loons and the natural world. Loons are a threatened species in New Hampshire and are protected by state and federal laws from hunting or harassment, including following adults with chicks.

If you see a sick or injured loon, please call the Loon Preservation Committee (603-476-5666) or if you observe harassment of loons, please contact the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department (603-271-3361) or Marine Patrol (603-293-2037) for assistance.
