Scaling Up - Region’s Fish Hatcheries Stock Statewide By Mark Foynes If you fish in NH, you likely owe a tip of the cap to the Fish and Game (F&G) Department, which manages a number of fish hatcheries across the state. These facilities stock waterways statewide, allowing anglers to cast about from the Lakes Region and beyond. The sites hatch, raise, and transport a large proportion of several varieties of trout and Atlantic salmon, creating a sustainable population of freshwater species. Many of the facilities, including the ones in New Hampton and New Durham, are open to the public where folks can take self-guided tours and see hatchlings and fingerlings that - once mature - will eventually be released into the Granite State’s lakes, ponds, and rivers. Annually, New Hampshire Fish and Game produces over a million catchable-sized trout. The agency has four regions within the state. The Lakes Region is in the center of Region 2, which stretches all the way from Bath in the northwest down to Farmington in the southeast. F&G’s Powder Mill Hatchery in New Durham is on the Merrymeeting River, which connects Winnipesaukee and Merrymeeting Lake. It’s the state’s only Atlantic salmon facility and it stocks much of NH’s trout. (As a historical aside, the facility takes its name from a no-longer-extant factory that produced gunpowder). E.J. Malone is a staff member at the
Walking path at Powder Mill Fish Hatchery. Powder Mill Hatchery, which was built in 1947. He said that about one-third of the state’s trout originate at the site. He said species include brown trout, rainbows, and brookies. Malone, who holds a degree in aquaculture and was at F&G’s Berlin facility for a couple of decades, said that helping run the state’s largest hatchery is “my dream job.” He added that the public education aspect of the hatchery is especially rewarding. Noting that his facility is open daily from 8 am to 4 pm, he said that members of the public are welcomed to visit. Families can visit on a whim with no notice - free of charge. Malone said group tours are also welcome but that a heads-up call

is appreciated so staff can prepare. Once at Powdermill you are greeted by a number of rearing pools, raceways, and ponds. The trout there are actually hatched elsewhere and then transported to New Durham as fingerlings. Powdermill specializes in tending to young fish until they reach maturity. Each pool is beneath a netted mesh to protect the fish from predatory birds. (In recent years, at least one bald eagle has taken up residence in the immediate area). Malone said that the fish stock is further protected by having a resident overseer who lives on site and conducts regular rounds to be on the lookout for poachers.
“There’s always someone here to keep an eye on things,” Malone said. The aquaculturalist said that visitors are able to feed the fish but that they should only use pellets that are available for a quarter per handful at Powdermill. “They’re on a pretty strict diet,” Malone explained. Now, during the warm months, the fish are routinely fed five times per day - in addition to what visitors feed them. Malone said that these poikilothermic fishies’ appetites wane and only require thrice-weekly feedings in the cold season. In addition to the raceways, F&G also maintains what Malone calls a “show tank.” He said occasionally there are some specimens that are extraordinary in some way and are retained for educational displays. The feature includes especially large fish, and even some albino trout. On the other side of the Lakes Region in New Hampton is the district office, whose staff also manage a hatchery that’s open to the public. Fish & Game’s Randy Ayer said that outreach efforts are vital to the agency’s efforts to educate folks about the organization’s broad mission. “Most people know about the law enforcement aspect of Fish & Game which is important,” Ayer noted. “But there’s the whole other aspect where • Hatcheries Continued on page 4

produces about one million eggs. Once hatched, New Hampton staff tend to the fry until they achieve fingerling status. Then off to New Durham they go until they reach maturity and are released into our lakes, ponds and streams. Ayer said that it takes about a year and a half for a hatchling to get to a point when it can be released. The hatcheries, financially, are cost neutral - as is much of F&G’s operation. Instead of being supported by taxpayers, the agency is funded by fishing and hunting licenses, and of course fees levies on folks who don’t follow regulations. The region’s hatcheries are an inexpensive way to learn more about our native aquaculture and see more fish in one place outside of an aquarium. Admission is free.

Watercolor Demonstration on Japanese Masa Paper Nelida DiLorenzo, a native of the Patogonia Region of Argentina, will be the guest speaker at the upcoming Lakes Region Art Association (LRAA) Members Meeting to be held on Monday, August 20 at 7 pm in the Woodside Building at the Taylor Community on Union Avenue in Laconia. Nelida will be demonstrating a watercolor technique not readily seen in the Lakes Region that utilizes Japanese Masa paper. Masa is versatile, yet affordable, Japanese paper. It can be used for a wide range of artistic techniques, including sumi painting and printmaking as well as for watercolor. Masa paper is heavily sized, and its strength and versatility make it well suited for both wetting and crinkling. Like rice paper it is smooth on one side and slightly rough or toothier on the other side. Nelida will be demonstrating the crinkled paper technique using Masa paper and how she utilizes the “crinkles” to develop the final picture. She will also be displaying some of her art pieces using Masa paper and answering questions regarding the

orchard in Villa Regina, Argentina. While living in France, Nelida took courses at the famous art school of Fontainebleau and also taught art classes at their high school. She still enjoys teaching workshops in water media occasionally. Over the years she has participated in many different workshops by both American and foreign artists. Some of her favorites include Tom Jones and Lian Quan Zhen. The presentation should be of particular interest to both artists who like to learn new painting methods and techniques as well as others who appreciate art. The demonstration is free and open to the public. There will be a short meeting of the Association prior to the presentation.

“Manufacturing Victory” set to open on August 20 at Wright Museum On Monday, August 20, the Wright Museum in Wolfeboro will open a new exhibit, “Manufacturing Victory, The Arsenal of Democracy.” At the beginning of World War II, the United States mobilized the entire economy and industrial structure to produce the most powerful “Arsenal of Democracy” the world has ever known. The industrial output alone was staggering, and the enormous efforts on the home-front fostered some of the most important scientific advances in history. This exhibit will detail these enormous efforts on the home-front during World War II. The military arsenal and machines of Allied victory depended on a work-force willing to
at home that helped to ensure victory in World War II. “Everything from tanks and rifles to the clothes on the soldier’s back had to be manufactured to support the war effort,” he said. “Ordinary men and women all over the United States went to work in the factories and mills, which is where the machines and equipment of victory were made.” As the region’s leading resource for educators and learners of all ages on World War II, this exhibit will offer a singular contribution and resource to the general public’s understanding of the domestic efforts that helped win the war. “Manufacturing Victory” was created by the National World War II Museum in New Orleans. It will be on exhibit at the Wright Museum in Wolfeboro from August 20 through October 31. The Wright Museum is open daily through October 31 from 10 am to 4 pm, Monday through Saturday, and noon to 4 pm on Sundays. For more information, visit www.wrightmuseum. org.

A Variety of Upcoming Programs at Taylor Communities Whether you are interested in history, the outdoors and forests, wild edibles or the region’s waterways, there is something for everyone at the upcoming Taylor Community programs. Clearing the Water: The Story of the Lakes Region Clean Waters Association This is a story of citizen action and the importance of protecting the environment. “Clearing the Water” is a documentary film telling the story of the Lakes Region Clean Waters Association, founded in 1959 to clean up Lake Winnisquam. Its members provided leadership to the entire country in the early days of the environmental movement. Their actions led to the construction of a major state-run wastewater treatment facility that serves 10 communities in the Lakes Region today.

According to the New Hampshire Telegraph: “The show, overall, is a riot ... Don’t miss it. After all, a comedy this funny only comes along once or twice a millennium.” “This wonderfully wacky show is a very fun (and funny!) fast paced musical journey through the centuries, time-hopping through the history books in a speedy 90 minutes,” shared Blair Hundertmark, the production’s director. “Not only will you laugh, giggle and roll your eyes, you might actually learn something along the way.” The three-actor cast reunites Barnstormer favorites Cheryl Mullings,

Voices of Squam: Living and Working Around the Lake Join the Squam Lakes Association (SLA) on Wednesday, August 22 for a special presentation with Jane Beck, curator of the new Voices of Squam: Living and Working Around the Lakes exhibit located in the Squam Lakes Association’s Great Room in Holderness. The exhibit is an oral history project that includes interviews with over 50 people (both year-round and summer residents) over a six-year period. It is a collection of memories leading to a composite sketch of the local history, the happenings, and some of the individuals who live and work around the Squam Lakes. No RSVP is required to attend the August 22 presentation. Light
Preparing to enjoy the natural beauty of the Squam Lakes area. (Courtesy photo)
refreshments will be served. Also upcoming at the SLA will be an Aquatic Plant Ecology Exploration on Saturday, August 25 from 10 am to noon. Participants may meet at the SLA headquarters, located at 534 US Rt. 3 in Holderness or at Moon and Bowman Islands. Those meeting at SLA will head out with staff to Moon or Bowman Island using one of SLA’s motorized boats. SLA experts will present a morning of aquatic plant ecology. After reaching Moon or Bowman Island, participants will use SLA provided canoes, kayaks, or snorkel gear during this fun program on aquatic plant identification. The
program will focus on identifying look-alikes to the invasive plant, variable milfoil, and on familiarizing participants with aquatic invasive plants that are not currently found in Squam. After the program, participants will be trained as Weed Watchers, and can survey the lakes on their own, helping to protect Squam from aquatic invasive species. As always, this work is weather dependent. Should any changes to plans arise, SLA staff will provide updates. They encourage help from volunteers who love the outdoors, enjoy hands-on conservation work, and are excited to work with LRCC AmeriCorps members. Participants should bring appropriate clothing, water, sunscreen, and a snack. The Squam Lakes Association is located at 534 US Rt. 3 in Holderness. The SLA is a non-profit organization established in 1904, and for over 100 years has been working to protect and conserve the natural beauty, peaceful character, and resources of the Squam Lakes Watershed. In collaboration with local and state partners, the SLA promotes the protection, careful use and shared enjoyment of the lakes, mountains, forests, open spaces and wildlife of the Squam Lakes region.

While watercolor has been his primary medium, he also does work in oil, acrylic and cut-paper.

Piano Classics and more offered at Wolfeboro Friends of Music Upcoming Concerts Classical pianist Eleanor Perrone will open the fifth cycle of summer piano concerts presented by the Wolfeboro Friends of Music on Tuesday, August 21 at 7:30 pm. She will perform baroque, romantic and modern selections on the magnificent Steinway concert grand from the stage of the Kingswood Arts Center on South Main Street in Wolfeboro. Ms. Perrone has chosen Busoni’s piano transcription of Bach’s Chaconne, selections from Isaac Albeniz’s Iberia Suite, and a Chopin group to include five Preludes plus the great Scherzo in C# minor. Ending her program will be Samuel Barber’s “Excursions,” performed first by Vladimir Horowitz in 1944 and showing off popular rhythms of boogie-woogie, blues, cowboy ballads, and barn dances. The next concert will take place on Tuesday, August 28. American pianist Steven Lubin will perform at the Kingswood Arts Center and will share his world of classical music including Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert and Chopin. The concert is presented by the Wolfeboro Friends of Music. Scholar, international soloist and recording artist, Professor Lubin’s appearance is dedicated to the memory of Lee Morton of Sandwich, NH, a skilled keyboard builder and technician who preserved instruments for decades throughout New England in homes, schools and concert halls. The concert begins at 7:30 pm with Sonata #23 in F minor, Op.57, by Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827).
Published in 1807, the three tempestuous, searching movements caused a later publisher to put into print the term “Appassionata” for this score. After a short break, in place of a later intermission, Steven Lubin returns with two pieces by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791), the Variations in C on the French tune “Twinkle, twinkle little star” and the Sonata in F Major, K. 332, connected with Mozart’s journey to Salzburg. The evening’s program crosses over into early romanticism with the Impromptu in G-flat Major by Franz Schubert (1791-1828). Steven’s finale is the Scherzo #2 in B-flat minor by Frederick Chopin (1810-1849). All works presented demonstrate the versatile nature of the modern Steinway concert grand, remembering that they were originally written for and performed on the fortepiano and early pianos. Historic replicas of early instruments became an abiding interest with Lubin from the 1960s as he frequented the New Hampshire workshop of Philip Belt, a pioneering American builder of replicas. In New York City, Steven Lubin was at the forefront through several decades of the burgeoning movement, including concert performances and superior recordings available now on Decca, Arabesque, and Classical Soundings labels. During a break, the audience can enjoy refreshments and further greet the artist in the spacious lobby of the Kingswood Arts Center. Prof. Lubin has taught at the Juilliard School, Vas-
sar College, Cornell University, and at Purchase College SUNY, reaching retirement there as Professor Emeritus of Music. This final concert in the Wolfeboro Friends of Music’s Fifth Annual Summer Piano Concert series is sponsored by Privacy Compliance Group, LLC; White Pine Investments; and Paul and Sandra Montrone. Tickets are available for $15 each at the door, or at Black’s
Paper and Gift Shop, at Avery Insurance in Wolfeboro, and at Innisfree Bookshop in Meredith. High school students with ID will be admitted free of charge, and any child accompanied by an adult ticket purchaser will be admitted free of charge. Please visit www.Wfriendsofmusic. org for information on the eight-concert winter season starting on September 22.

Don’t Miss the Lakes Region Fine Arts & Crafts Festival! By Sarah Wright A highlight of the summer in the Lakes Region that many locals and visitors to the area look forward to is the Lakes Region Fine Arts and Crafts Festival in Meredith in August. Now in its 39th year, the festival is better than ever, with 85 vendors displaying their crafts and fine art. Shoppers and craft enthusiasts will delight in this event, happening on Saturday, August 25 and Sunday August 26, from 9 am to 5 pm both days. You’ll find many high-quality items for sale, whether it’s something for yourself or a gift for someone else. Meredith’s Main Street will be transformed into an outdoor art gallery, with exhibitors extending their booths into the upper parking lot of the Mills Falls Marketplace. The variety and quality of the items exhibited will include wildlife photography, metal and wood sculptures, stained glass, handmade jewelry, baskets, leather projects, and abstract and traditional oil painting, and watercolors. All items are original creations and the artists and craftsmen will be available throughout the weekend to meet and chat with customers. Over the years, the festival has gained
a solid reputation among New England artists and craftsmen, and is the largest quality arts and crafts event in the area. Live music will entertain you while you shop and creates a festive atmosphere. Performing at this year’s event on both Saturday and Sunday will be Marc Elbaum and Christine Chaisson playing jazz, classic rock, and great American songs from the 50s, 60s, and 70s. Phil Sanguedolce and Jarrod Taylor will also entertain fairgoers with a variety of folk music and classic rock. Enjoy the day at a leisurely pace—if you get hungry, the Masons will be on hand offering delicious homemade pies and ice cream, and the Altrusa Club of Meredith will be serving hot dogs, chips, and sodas. This popular festival is organized by Sue Cerutti, the Executive Director of the Meredith Area Chamber of Commerce, and the Chamber sponsors the event every year. Sue has been involved with the planning of the festival since its beginning, when there were only 30 artists. She handles the publicity, organization, artist interactions, and maintaining the databases. She also • Arts & Crafts Continued on page 27

August 20, 2018 • Arts & Crafts Continued from page 26 recruits unique artists that she comes across at other craft fairs. Sue explains that each artist goes through a jurying process and must submit samples of their work by May 1. However, artists who have been successful exhibitors for two years don’t have to reapply. Sue says, “This year, about half of the show are returning artists, while the other half of exhibitors are new.” Planning for the festival is a yearround process. After each festival, the Chamber board meets to discuss how everything went, like traffic patterns, advertising, etc., and what could be changed or improved for the following year. It takes a large group of people working together to make the festival possible. Sue says the trickiest part of the event is the Saturday morning set up. For this, she’s very grateful to Butch Keniston, who assigns the spaces and handles the flow of crafters and artists coming in to set up their booths. Craft fairs are a big draw in the Lakes Region, and Sue explains that it’s the knowledgeable customers who drive the demand. “In this area, especially, a lot of people appreciate something that’s handmade, high quality, and unique,” Sue says. “And they appreciate the skill that goes into each item.” Sue enjoys organizing a high-quality craft fair that “really creates a nice event for Meredith.” In fact, the fair brings people together, and many relationships between townspeople, customers, and artists have developed
over the years, because of the festival. The Lakes Region Fine Arts and Crafts Festival began back in 1979 as an idea for a “last hurrah” to summer, before everyone returned to work and school. It was organized by three residents of Meredith named Bobbi Jo Free, Marilyn Ambrose, and Mary Guariglia. At the time, it was quite the unique idea to set booths up on Main Street and close the street to traffic. People came from all over to check it out, making the first festival a success! From the start, the jurying process was strict, and spaces filled up fast. At the time, there weren’t many other large craft fairs in the area, so artists were eager to apply. After a few years, the Meredith Area Chamber of Commerce stepped in to coordinate the event, and Sue was hired to oversee it. When Mill Falls Marketplace opened in 1984, the festival was able to expand and bring an even larger audience into town.

Chillin’ While Grillin’ So Many Ways With Pizza on the Grill! By Chef Kelly Ross Well, here we are in the latter half of August and I don’t know about you, but I’m not sure where the summer went. The heat lovers got their wish this summer. I am more of a spring and fall kind of guy as far as weather is concerned. Grilling in the high heat and humidity can be tough at times, although it never stops me. Although I may not have completed as much as I would have liked by this point in the summer, I have definitely filled my grilling quota, although there is a bunch more bbq’ing to do! And now it is time to do pizza on
the grill. Pizza is truly one of the most versatile foods the culinary world has to offer. Regardless of your
Vintage Boat Rides ON L AKE WINNIPESAUKEE
preference, and whether you are a carnivore or vegetarian, pizza is truly a staple in almost everyone’s lives. I understand pizzas are more difficult for the vegan or gluten-free crowd, but there are still ways around those diets. Unfortunately, not many pizza lovers thought of cooking their pizzas on the grill. Most order out, some cook
their own homemade versions in the oven, and many others cook a frozen pie in the oven. I have been there, done that with all the above and if you say you haven’t done all that, you are likely lying. For good or bad, it’s the American way. We all need to splurge and enjoy life at times, regardless of how strict your daily diet may be and that can be where pizza comes in. Grilling a pizza is so darn good. Yes, it can be a little tricky, especially the first time or two, but a grilled pizza has so many incredible advantages. For starters, you are almost guaranteed a nice crispy crust, not to mention the awesome flavor that the grill gives it. Secondly, to do it right, cooking on the grill forces you to keep the pizza lighter and healthier. I find the biggest • Chillin’ While Grillin’ Continued on page 29

August 20, 2018 • Chillin’ While Grillin’ Continued from page 28 problem with so many pizzas are that they are over-cheesed. Sure, I love cheese big time. As I say often, I have never met a cheese I didn’t like, but, over cheesing a pie usually results in a soggy, greasy pizza. I consider over cheesing a pizza unacceptable. There is a big difference between a pizza with extra cheese and being over cheesed. Not much bugs me more than picking up a greasy slice of pizza that won’t stand up, but instead just sort of flops south. Too much cheese and not cooking the pie long enough are the general issues. Over cheesing a pie on the grill, although won’t be as greasy as an oven baked pie, hurts the cooking process. In my humble opinion, utilize great ingredients, but don’t use the overkill mentality. On the grill in particular, use the best ingredients, but do so in moderation. At this time of year in particular, utilize the fresh herbs and vegetables so accessible to you. In the oven, you are pulling out a pie on a pan. On the grill, the pie isn’t on a pan, so you don’t want to turn this into a weight lifting contest when pulling off the grill as I generally do so with two large spatulas. It’s a battle you won’t win. Keep things flavorful but keep it light. For starters, let’s talk pizza dough.
I have made my own dough and have always used store bought dough balls that you have to roll out. Yes, they both definitely work. No doubt the store-bought version is easier and less time consuming, but I always prefer homemade when the timing is right. As I mentioned earlier, one of the big keys to a successful grilled pizza is to keep things light, and that includes the crust. Your crust really shouldn’t be thick. Grilled pizza equals thin crust pizza. I generally keep the dough at about 1/8 of an in. thick. Also, don’t make it too big or wide. You will need to flip the crust once and then you will have to pull off the fully cooked pizza. Keep it manageable. You are better off making 2-4 smaller pies than 1-2 large versions. I’ll give you the low down on what I do to make a crust and you can make your decision from there as to whether you decide to make your own or buy it. The List 4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour 1 Tbsp rapid rise, dry active yeast 1 tsp salt 2 tsp sugar 1 ¼ cups of hot water (120 degrees) ½ cup olive oil, plus some to work the dough Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl of a mixer with a dough hook. In a 2-cup measuring cup, combine the hot water and olive oil and slowly

drizzle it into the side of the mixing bowl on a low speed until combined. Turn the mixer to a medium speed until the dough starts to come to the side of the bowl and it forms itself into a ball. This process generally takes 3-5 minutes. If it appears too much on the dry side, add a smidgin’ more oil until it is at the right consistency. Do not add too much; it’s always easier to add to it then it is to take back out. Now it’s time to work the dough. There are two trains of thought on this. Some like to flour their work surface, some like to use oil. I prefer oil. Flour can still result in the dough sticking to the surface if not enough is used, and if too much is used, the dough often dries up. Also, when cooking on the grill, the oil helps crisp up the crust, which is truly what you are looking for. I generally drizzle a little oil on my work surface. I prefer my kitchen counter over a cutting board or something similar. Toss the dough ball on the greased surface and slightly knead it for a couple minutes. No need to be aggressive but punch the dough down and put some pressure into it and roll it into a ball again. In the bowl, add about 2-3 Tbsp of oil
and rub it over the inside of the entire bowl. Plop in the dough ball and roll it over a few times so the entire ball has been lightly greased. Cover the bowl with a slightly dampened clean kitchen towel, then put the bowl into a warm spot for 30-45 minutes so the ball nearly triples in size. Quite often, while I’m starting the mixing process, I turn my oven to 125 degrees, and once it reaches that temperature, turn the oven off. Wait about 10 minutes and pop the bowl in there if you need a great spot. It works extremely well. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and flip it around in the bowl, gather the sides to try to get all the air pockets out of it. Air pockets result in blown-up dough bubbles during the grilling process. Pop back on the greased counter and knead for a couple of minutes, then divide into separate dough balls. This will give you 2-3 medium sized crusts or closer to five individual sized versions. Brush one side of each crust with olive oil and place greased side down onto a highly preheated grill for 2-3 • Chillin’ While Grillin’ Continued on page 31

• Chillin’ While Grillin’ Continued from page 29 minutes until slightly browned on the bottom and sides and some grill marks have formed. Take off the heat and flip the crusts over on a greased pan and hit it with your desired toppings on the cooked side and slide the pie off the pan onto a now low-medium heat. Generally, cook for another 5 minutes or so, maybe closing the lid for a ½-minute here and a ½-minute there until all the cheese is melted and things are a little bubbly and the bottom of the crust is at the desired doneness. Remember, try to keep it light with the toppings at first. You can use many just don’t be heavy handed with them. Once you get the hang of it, and feel comfortable getting it off the grill, you can get braver with the weight of the toppings on top and hit it heavier if you feel the need. Now that you have the idea of how to prep and cook the crust, it’s time to
share some fun recipes for your grilled pies. Again, you can always make any of your favorite traditional pizzas on the grill and they will be outstanding. I love to experiment with off-thewall, thinking-outside-the-box type of recipe. Utilizing the light aspect of cooking a grilled pizza, this one is a classic example. Those who read my articles regularly know of my love affair with pesto. When it comes to putting a sauce on a pizza, which isn’t always necessary, my top 5 are pesto at #1, alfredo or a pesto alfredo at #2, a fresh salsa at #3, thinly sliced tomatoes at #4, and BBQ sauce at #5. This recipe is a twist on an Italian classic pie, the Margherita Pizza, made simply with a thin layer of pizza sauce or sliced tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and fresh basil leaves. That’s it and it is awesome. My version is a Pesto Margherita Pizza which uses a generous layer of pesto, sliced tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and the fresh basil. This is such a great light pizza with an

outstanding classic Italian flavor. The List Pizza dough of choice ½ cup pesto, more or less depending on taste 2 large tomatoes, sliced as thin as possible ¼ to ½ lb fresh sliced mozzarella, cut into 1/8-in. slices 4-5 fresh basil leaves Once you have grilled one side of the crust, remove and put onto a lightly greased pan, grilled side up. Lather on the pesto, then the thinly sliced tomatoes, arrange the sliced wheels of mozzarella here and there over the top, and then rip the basil leaves and sprinkle over the top. Once it’s back on the grill, adjust the heat to medium and cover the lid for a minute or two, pick it up and check it out. Move it around a little if needed with a set of tongs. Once the bottom crust is done with a nice crispness to it and the cheese is melted, you are all set. Five minutes usually does it, but every grill is different. This is truly an authentic Italian treasure. The next recipe is far from traditional. I have always loved breakfast any time of day. I use this one for a late Sunday breakfast/brunch pizza or at dinner. If you have overnight guests, they will love this one in the morning. This is a pizza version of a Spanish omelet. I use fresh salsa as a base on this one, although you can use a pizza sauce or wow, even pesto as far as I’m concerned. I may have to try pesto on this one of these days. I often use pesto on my scrambled eggs…hmmm. The List Pizza crust of choice 1 ½ cups fresh homemade salsa, not a sauce, more of a chunky non-liquid salsa. If you prefer store bought, have at it. 6 large eggs A few splashes of milk salt and pepper ½ lb of your favorite ground sausage, browned and drained 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar
1 cup of shredded mozzarella If not using a fresh salsa, you will also need ½ cup of diced sweet onion, ¼ cup of diced red bell pepper and ¼ cup diced green bell pepper and cook them with the sausage. Ideally, this is a two-person effort, one on the grill and one in the kitchen, although I have done this single handedly on a few occasions. As before, grill the dough on one side, put onto a greased pan cooked side up. In a bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together. In a sauté pan, start to scramble the eggs like you would any morning. Add the cooked sausage and veggies if needed halfway through. Do not over-cook, but you don’t want them runny. Make sure they are still warm to hot when adding to the pie. On the crust, cooked side up, put on the salsa and spread it out evenly. If using store bought, do not over sauce to avoid the crust being soggy, another reason I prefer the fresh salsa, not to mention fresh just tastes so much better. At this point, I usually use gloves if the eggs are still piping hot to spread/ crumble the cooked egg mixture over the pizza. If spooning it on, it can go on in clumps and doesn’t make a consistent layer. Sprinkle on the cheeses. Slide the pie onto a medium-heated grill and work your magic similar to the last recipe. If you find that the crust is going to be done before the cheese is melted, continue cooking with the grill closed and the burners turned off. As always, feel free to substitute other great ingredients. Jalapenos work well with this pizza. We started with an Italian classic, then to a Southwestern breakfast pie, and now I’m going the Irish route with this sauceless pizza. Another of my favorite pizzas brings the same outstanding flavors that we are familiar with in a baked potato with cheese and bacon, or one of my favorite chowders, also • Chillin’ While Grillin’ Continued on page 30

the spuds into 1/8-in. slices Using the above pizza crust recipe, once you take it off the grill the first time, brush the uncooked side with oil and flip onto a greased pizza pan uncooked side down. Then, brush the cooked side with olive oil and sprinkle on the garlic. Spread half of the cheese over the oil and garlic, then arrange the sliced taters, then the rest of the cheese. Sprinkle the bacon and half the scallions over the top and carefully slide the pie onto the grill. At this point, drop the heat to a medium low. Cook for 5 minutes or so, until the bottom of the crust is sufficiently done and browned and crispy, as well as the cheese thoroughly melted. Depending on your grill, close the grill for some time here and there. Once done, take off the grill with care with spatulas, sprinkle the rest of the scallions over the top, and then squirt the ranch dressing over the top in a drizzling fashion so every bite will get a taste. I swear you will do this recipe more than once. A very fun pie with a great appearance with the drizzled dressing, and more importantly, the flavor rocks!

The program will take place at Old Town Hall on Route 140 in Gilmanton Iron Works. Social hour and refreshments begin at 7 pm and the program begins promptly at 7:30 pm. The Society’s museum, in
the basement of Old Town Hall, will be open at 7 pm.

The Tower and the Cootie By Dan Smiley, publisher With all the hysteria in the day-to day-news, we thought we’d take a look back at a couple of milestones in Carroll County that harken back not so long ago. One hundred years, while a long time, is also not so long ago in many regards. For example, in 2014, there were 72,197 Americans age 100 or older, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That number was up 44 percent from 2000, when there were only 50,281 centenarians. We would put that into the category of good news for our country’s well being. It was only 40 years ago that Abenaki II was erected on the side of Copps Hill in Tuftonboro. The site is located before you get to Melvin Village, on the right if you’re heading north. The entrance is on a sharp corner, so pay attention after driving by 20 Mile Bay. There’s
no easy place to turn around along that stretch of Rt. 109, which can get busy with traffic this time of year. If you’ve never taken the short hike up to Abenaki Tower, you might find it to be one of the easiest ascensions in New Hampshire. It is roughly a quarter-mile walk at a nominal grade and not too steep. Thought by many to be an old fire tower, the structure was actually built “just to enjoy the view.” That wonderful view greatly improved this year as some of the trees surrounding the structure were trimmed back last summer. When standing in the tower, which overlooks Lake Winnipesaukee, one can harken back to a time before cell phones and digital cameras. Another milestone this year is the hundredth anniversary of “The Cootie” at the Libby Museum in Wolfeboro. A small story that ran in

the Boston Post about “The Cootie” became a springboard for fall tourism as trainloads of people came by train to see the little bug. Pediculus Humanus, direct from the trenches of World War I, was on display at The Libby Museum. (It arrived by letter sent from one of NH’s fighting men to a friend living near the museum.) For years, Moses Libby (Dr. Libby’s father), guarded it by day with his prized watchdog. He’d tell visitors, “It’s the only genuine specimen from the American trenches that is in the country”. According to the Boston Post “all the other things in the Museum have become secondary.” “Cooties” is also a fictitious childhood disease, used in the United States and Canada as a rejection term and an infection. Cooties are famously

mentioned in children’s games, poetry, and stories. It was also known as the “arithmetic bug” by WWI soldiers because “it added to our troubles, subtracted from our pleasures, divided our attention, and multiplied like hell.” The “cootie” is still on exhibit at The Libby Museum today. (The museum is located at 755 N. Main St. in Wolfeboro.) Perhaps it’s the simplicities of things such as The Libby and Abenaki Tower that draw us to this part of the world. Where else can you unplug from all the nonsense and better focus on what’s really important? As we start to close in on the end of another summer here on the big lake, we encourage you to visit these unique and affordable venues available to the public on the eastern shores of Winnipesaukee.

Ball in the House in Wolfeboro Aug. 25! The penultimate concert of the Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand summer concert series will bring a new act to the bandstand, one that has made a name for itself around the country. Ball in the House is comprised of five guys with five voices and that’s it. Based in Boston, the band takes a cappella to the next stage, with beatbox and vocal bass under cool harmonies to create a sound that is hard to believe. The band has performed around the country, in about 250 concerts a year and they’ve released a number of CDs and have been featured on Cool Whip television and radio ads. The group has also shared the stage with artists such as The Beach Boys, Gladys Knight, the Jonas Brothers, Jessica Simpson, Fantasia, Blondie, The Temptations, Smokey Robinson, KC and the Sunshine Band and Kool and the Gang, to name just a few. Ball in the House consists of tenors Dave Guisti and Wallace Thomas, baritone Monty Hill, bass James Dones
and beatbox Jon J. Ryan. Guisti was born and raised in Dorchester, MA, with a love of music starting in first grade when he was in the play, Pinocchio and sang his first song. He attended the Boston Boys Choir, performed in many musicals in high school and was a vocal performance major at Berklee College of Music. Hill grew up in Chaptico, Md., a place where he could sing and play his trumpet as loud as he wanted. He was involved in band and chorus during elementary and middle school and in high school was introduced to musical theater. He received a full academic and music scholarship to Morgan State University, studying vocal music with a concentration in musical theater. He toured the world with the Morgan State University Choir. Jones grew up in a military family and was introduced to a cappella music when Boston-based Five O’Clock Shadow performed at his high school. Awed by their performance, he took the first opportunity he could find to

join a group at college and has been performing ever since. Ryan grew up in Boston and met Guisti in fifth grade at the Boston Boys’ Choir School, where he got into music. In high school, he discovered the magic of keyboards and drum machines and took up bass. At Skidmore College, he caught the a cappella bug and after graduating with music honors, he sang in numerous groups while teaching music and piano lessons. He saw Andrew Chaikin perform with another group, which served as his inspiration to become a beatboxer. Thomas was born in Jacksonville, FL to two musical parents. He began taking piano and voice lessons early on and turned his focus to vocals in high school. He majored in music at Florida State University, where he was introduced to a cappella music. After college, he joined the Air Force, among other professions, and continued to
sing wherever he could. The concert may feature songs from artists such as Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Bruno Mars, Earth Wind and Fire, Bee Gees, John Lennon and more. Information on the band can be found at ballinthehouse.com or on Facebook and Twitter. They also have numerous videos on YouTube at bithvideo. Ball in the House will perform at the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand on Saturday, August 25, from 7 to 9 pm. The bandstand is located in Cate Park in downtown Wolfeboro. The concerts are free, though there will be a pass-thebucket offering taken at intermission to help support the Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand. In the event of inclement weather, the concert will be cancelled, and a sign will be posted at the entrance to the park near the town docks and on the Friends of the Bandstand’s Facebook page.

LAKE ESCAPE: Tuftonboro/Melvin Village Here’s an interesting fact: Tuftonboro is the only incorporated place in NH that was owned by just one man, John Tuft Mason. (Now you know where the town got its name!) The town was granted as Tuftonborough in 1750 by Colonial Gov. Benning Wentworth and settled around 1780. It once had a number of thriving businesses, such as a blind and door factory, a carriage factory and gristmills. Melvin Village, a part of Tuftonboro, is a popular summer vacation area on Melvin Bay by Lake Winnipesaukee. Several islands, among them Little Bear Island and Cow Island, are within Tuftonboro’s boundaries. TO DO… Water fun abounds in Tuftonboro, and the town beach area has a covered pavilion, beautiful beach and great views. Hike the Abenaki Tower on Rt. 109 to take in more of that great view. In the summer, there are weekly concerts at the pavilion presented by the Tuftonboro Parks and Recreation Dept. Old Home Days offers a 5K race, cardboard boat race, car show, live music, food and much more, taking place from Aug. 24-26. (www.tuftonboro.org). If you like history, be sure and stop by the Tuftonboro Historical Society at 449 Gov. Wentworth Highway in Melvin Village. ON THE WATER… Lanes End Marina meets the needs of boaters with servicing, storage, dockage and gasoline sales.
