Welcome Home to Alton’s Old Home Week

By Mark Foynes Old Home Week in Alton - a long cherished local tradition - will soon be here. This year’s Old Home Week is August 10 to 19, so mark your calendars. Many locals and visitors alike, at this point, are just counting the days for what will be a week-and-ahalf of activities representing a year’s worth of planning. Longtime residents and passers through are equally welcome to participate, and many of the offerings are free-of-charge.

The 10-day community celebration will feature a wide variety of activities involving food, parades, music, classic cars and boats, plus much more.

Family-friendly activities are planned to take place at traditional sites for community gatherings, as well as locales that are nearby, but tucked just a little out of the way and will include the Alton Bay’s signature Bandstand, a restored railroad station, a pair of historic churches, and numerous other venues.

Now a vibrant ongoing tradition, Old Home events across the state simultaneously evolve while keeping community traditions current.

The concept of Old Home Week hearkens back to a time in NH history when the Granite State’s leading export was its young people, who were eager for greener pastures to the west. Eventually, disused farms fell into disrepair. Crumbling barns were surrounded by fallow, granite-laden pastures. Northern New England lurched toward abandonment.

Alarmed by the decline of rural NH, Governor Frank W. Rollins in the late 1800’s spearheaded a pair of new initiatives to stem the outflow of youth and reverse the rate of farmstead abjuration.

He pushed hard to attract new folks to buy abandoned farms and fix them up as second homes. He also encouraged emigrants to return to their ancestral homes - even just for a week - to reconnect with family and, perchance, to purchase a second (previouslyabandoned) home.

Rollins’ strategy might sound vaguely, though benignly, Machiavellian. But he was governor during a time of considerable economic and social uncertainty. He established a political career in the 1890’s during the worst Depression up to that point. The idea of coming home proved appealing. The notion was to revitalize economically and reinforce a vital sense of community.

Governor Rollins himself wistfully wrote, “I wish that in the ear of every son and daughter of New Hampshire, in the summer days, might be heard whispered the persuasive words: ‘Come back, come back. Do you not hear the call? What has become of the old home where you were born? Do you not remember it — the old farm back among the hills, with its rambling buildings, its well sweep casting its long shadows, the row of stiff poplar trees, the lilacs and the willows?’”

Initially, several communities saw the wisdom of these words - and the number

SUMMERTIME SALE!

of towns grew over the following years as more and more realized the value of community-building events. Over a century later, the tradition continues, but it has evolved in the intervening years.

Bringing things up to the present day: Alton is just one of several Old Home events. Some are single-day affairs.

Others are multi-day endeavors.

To summarize Alton’s celebration in a phrase: So much to do.

One thing to note is that, as a general rule, most of the activities are staggered in a way that allows folks to attend one event before the next begins.

Alton’s Old Home Week will kick off on Friday, August 10 at the B&M Railroad Park with a Family Block Party from 5-8 pm. Sponsored by the Alton Old Home Week Committee, the inaugural celebration will feature burgers, dogs, a DJ, a caricature artist, bocce, and other games.

Things really get into high gear the following day. On August 11, events begin with a wide variety of activities that start at 9 am: a 5K Road Race, a two-day craft fair, a book sale at the Gilman Library, and an antique boat show at the Alton Bay Public Docks.

At 2 pm there will be the Old Home Day Parade in the village, sponsored by the Alton Business Association (ABA).

For information about participating, call the ABA’s Chris Racine at 603875-4100.

The historic East Alton Meetinghouse at Gilman’s Corner will also be open that day for a pair of events. The Greek

Revival-era church is tucked away just a short distance off Rte. 28 in one of the Lakes Region’s quaintest villages.

Once the home of the Freewill Baptist Church, it was built in what was the original town center. While regular services are no longer held there, it’s meticulously maintained, and the structure is the site of occasional prayer services. The meetinghouse will be a busy place during Old Home Week.

On Saturday, August 11, there will be a potluck business meeting of locals and folks curious about - or committed to - the historic structure’s ongoing preservation beginning at 6 pm. At 7:30 pm, historian and author Kevin Gardener will be giving a talk at the church on the history of New England stone walls. (Gardener is the author of The Granite Kiss, a comprehensive history on the topic, and a wall builder himself; folks with copies of the book can likely have the author inscribe their volume). The East Alton Meetinghouse will also host its annual Vespers Service the following evening.

On a different note, things will get rocking on that first Saturday evening at the Alton Bay Bandstand at 7 pm with a concert by Blacklite Band. The group’s website notes, “If you grew up listening to the Beatles, the Kinks, the Doors, and more, then you’ll love BLACKLITE! We’ll transport [you] right into the heart of the greatest era of rock music ever made!” The evening’s activities culminate with the traditional • Alton Old Home Days Continued on page 5

On Sunday, August 12, the previous day’s craft fair continues from 10 am to 3 pm. At the Bandstand there will also be a cribbage tournament.

Additionally, in a Battle of the Badgeslike matchup, members of the Alton Police Department will take on their Fire Department counterparts in a softball match; the game will take place at the Alton Central School and begins at noon.

As one might expect, the largest number of activities take place on the weekends. But there are also evening activities daily through the week.

JP China will be hosting a chili cookoff at their Bayside restaurant between 5 to 7 pm on Monday. There will also be a group motorcycle ride on August 13 from 6:30 to 8 pm. The route will include some of the town’s scenic byways, such as Old Wolfeboro Road, Alton Mountain Road, and Gilman’s Corner. A full route has been published in the Old Home Day program booklet.

Tuesday, August 14 will feature a “Children’s Songfest” with Judy Pancoast. It will take place at the Alton Bay Bandstand and run from 6:30 to 8 pm.

Wednesday, August 15 will feature a pair of conjoined events. Folks can enjoy a spaghetti supper at the Community Church of Alton in the village for a suggested donation of $7.

The dinner will run from 5 to 7 pm and be followed by a hymn sing led by Bob

Gedney. That same evening, over at the Bandstand, there be an 8:30 pm family movie; it will be preceded by a 7:30 pm meet-and-greet with Alton’s own Lara Renner, who recently excelled in her very first Jr. Iditarod last winter.

On Thursday, things get real ruff at the Bandstand for a dog show. To help attendees wag more and bark less, there will be a puppy parade, a canine photobooth, and a raffle. This activity is sponsored by Community Youth Activities. Following the parade of paws, there will be an ice cream buffet sponsored by Alton’s ice cream restaurants including Pop’s Clam Shell, Shibley’s Ice Cream, Stillwell’s, and Jay’s Mini Golf & Ice Cream.

Friday the 17th of August is marked by music and family fun. There will be a scavenger hunt, weather permitting, sponsored by River Run Deli from 10 am to 8 pm. That evening, barbershop quartets will regale attendees before the waters of the Bay with their fourpart harmonies from the Bandstand beginning at 7 pm. Interested warblers can register between 3 and 5 pm at the Alton Bay Community Center. The Barbershop Jamboree is co-sponsored

by Alton Parks and Rec and the Laconia chapter of the Lakes Region Chordsmen.

The barbershoppers will make an encore performance the following day; singing on the Bandstand will commence at 2:30 pm and include a quartet competition component.

Old Home Week will also be the culmination of the Rotary’s bass painting contest. For a $25 donation,

Anonymous judges at the B&M Park evaluate each entry prior to the exhibit’s noon start time on August 18, and they will announce the winners of adult and youth categories during the event. Blank fish cutouts are available beforehand at Profile Bank’s Alton branch, so creative entries will be ready for display. Donations will advance the Rotary’s efforts to promote clean water globally and locally.

The final day of Old Home Week Sunday, August 19, kicks off with the Masonic Breakfast at the Lodge, just south of the Circle on Rte. 28. Sponsored

by Lodge #75, breakfast is $10 per person. River Run Deli scavenger hunts will again run continuously from 10 am

to 8 pm.

The center of town will be the site of a car show, sponsored by Maxfield Real Estate, which will bring the festivities to a close. This is a great chance for classic auto enthusiasts to show off their vehicles and network with other classic car enthusiasts. The event includes all classes and will offer a People’s Choice Award. More information is available by calling Roger Sample at 630-3675.

Alton’s Old Home event is among the more ambitious events of its type in the region (though, by no means the only one). There is pretty much something for everyone. It’s a celebration of home, history, and heritage.

Old home week is a nod to the past, a wink to the future, and an embrace of all things New Hampshire.

This exploration will take place through the documentary, “The Battle of the Bulge: World War II’s Deadliest Battle,” which was made for the PBS series, “The American Experience.”

Narrated by David McCullough, the documentary delves into the German offensive from December 1944 to January 1945, designed to split the Allied forces line.

At the Battle of the Bulge, American forces bore the brunt of the attack and incurred their highest casualties of any operation during the war.

The Clark House Museum Barn Is Open Story & Photos by Sarah Wright Take a trip back in time at the Clark House Museum on South Main Street in Wolfeboro and find out more about our local history. When you see what life was like in the late 1700’s through the 1800’s, you’ll surely appreciate the history of the area. The collection of donated artifacts on display are in excellent condition, and thanks to the “new” barn, there’s even more to explore—3,000 square feet to be exact!

The antique barn was truly a labor of love that began in 2006, when a barn built in Hampton in 1820, was taken apart and transported to the Clark House grounds. First, the pieces had

to be placed back together, and then a new shell and insulation was built around the pieces. The second floor was raised, and new wood was put in for the roof, but some of the darker original wood was preserved, including the ceiling beams and floor. What was once a cattle barn is now beautifully refurbished and full of interesting antiques from our past. The barn also serves as the visitor’s center, gift shop, archive, and genealogy center.

I visited the Clark House Complex recently to explore the barn, and Clark House Museum Director and Archivist Gene Denu was on hand to show me some of the items on display, many

Old tools and articles in the barn at the Clark House Museum.

of them from his own collection. The eclectic artifacts range from kitchen items to farm tools and from clay pipes to items from the coal industry. Many pieces tell a story, like the clay shovel on display that was used to build Wentworth State Park as part of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s WPA program.

Among the farming equipment on display is a wooden flail stick for beating the wheat from the chaff, and a newer wooden thresher from the late 1800’s that made that separating job

a little easier. The thresher is in working condition and Gene demonstrated how the screens sift as the crank is turned. I could feel the air blowing out, which would blow away the chaff from the wheat. There is also a handmade wooden seeder on display and a later metal model from 1890. In fact, the Scott’s company sells a metal seeder today that still uses the same method to spread seeds. It’s impressive to see • Clark House Continued on page 10

• Clark House Continued from page 8 what innovations existed before the advent of electricity, which Gene says didn’t reach some rural areas until the 1940s.

You’ll also find items from local industries like clay pipes from the old Taber pipe factory, and hand tools from the Berry Machine Company and Excelsior Mill. The Berry Excelsior Mill produced wood chips to be used as packing material or for chicken bedding. The mill was located off the Cotton Valley Trail near the Wright Museum, and parts of the factory are still there.

After visiting the barn, tour the Clark House, built in 1778, that served as a farmhouse on the original site’s 100-acre farm that extended from

South Main Street to the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee. Joseph Clark purchased the house in 1817 from the widow Evans who used the house as a tavern and inn. Joseph was a cabinetmaker from Greenland, NH, a town near Portsmouth.

Three generations of the Clark family lived in the house for 100 years, from 1817 to 1917. The families were Joseph and Comfort Clark and their children; Enoch and Sarah Clark and their 10 children, and finally, Greenleaf Clark, who was one of Enoch’s sons. In 1917, the house and remaining land were donated to the Town of Wolfeboro by Greenleaf Clark to be used as a living history museum. A complete tour of the authentically furnished house includes the keeping room, morning room, dining room, parlor, two bedrooms, and an unfurnished area full of curiosities.

The 1860’s firehouse is a replica of a period firehouse that was built by the Wolfeboro Historical Society and Kingswood High School students in 1981. It houses a variety of historic, horse-drawn, and hand drawn fire pumps and engines. Volunteers from the Historical Society restored a number of antique fire-fighting pieces used in Wolfeboro, dating from the mid-1800s. Two of these are “hand tubs” built by the Hunneman Company in Boston. Hand tubs were simple pumps on wheels consisting of a center pivoted lever connected to two pistons located in the water reservoir. The firehouse also displays two restored hose carriers dating from the 1800’s— one of which was hand drawn and carried up to 300 feet of hose. The other was horse drawn, carried up to 1,000 feet of hose, and was fitted with either wheels or skis. On loan from local historian Q. David Bowers is a restored Amoskeag horse drawn fire engine. This engine uses a wood/coal fired burner to convert water to steam thereby providing a source of pressure to pump water through an output hose directed at the fire. The engine is truly a magnificent piece of machinery.

While it was never used to fight fires in Wolfeboro, it is only one of 75 still in existence and this alone is worth the visit.

Out of all the buildings on the property, my kids like the Pleasant Valley School House the best. They find it amazing to see what school was like in the 1800’s. The one-room school was erected about 1805 in Pleasant Valley in South Wolfeboro. At

one time, schools were given the name of the district where they were located.

The Pleasant Valley School was located in District Three and was, for a time, known as the District #3 School.

It was also known as the Townsend School because of its proximity to the home of Reverend Isaac Townsend, the first minister ordained in Wolfeboro.

The bell in the school was used as a fire alarm and to call worshippers to Sunday services. It was not actually used to summon children to school. The building was used for religious services more than any other local school until well into the late 1890’s. The teacher’s desk, made by a preacher/teacher was on a raised platform in the center of the room. The original benches were replaced in 1895 at a time of refurbishing. All grades were taught in one room, with the number of students ranging from 20 to 50, depending on the time of year. The school house was transported to the Clark Museum Complex in the 1950’s.

The Museum Complex sits in beautiful Clark Park on South Main Street in Wolfeboro and is open from 10 am to 4 pm, Wednesday through Friday, and on Saturday from 10 am to 2 pm. You can also join the Downtown Wolfeboro History Walk at the train station on August 11, 18, or 25 at 10 am for a tour of building locations that were notable in past eras.

The Clark House Museum Complex is co-managed by the Wolfeboro Historical Society and the Wolfeboro Parks and Recreation Department.

Mapping the Movies By placing movies in a geographical context, the Mapping Movies project explores the relations between media access, landscape, social demographics, economic development, cultural networks, community, and memory.

Advice To The Players Presents Love’s Labour’s Lost Advice To The Players (ATTP), Sandwich’s own Shakespeare company, is presenting one of The Bard’s beloved comedies, Love’s Labour’s Lost. Performances will be at the Sandwich Fairgrounds Stage at Quimby Park in Sandwich on August 7, 8 and 9 at 5:30 pm, and at The Sandwich Town Hall Theater from August 10 to 12; Friday & Saturday shows will be at 7:30 pm and Sunday at 2 pm. Tickets are available at advicetotheplayers. org or by calling 603-284-7115.

Love’s Labour’s Lost is the tale of The King of Navarre, and his three friends, Berowne, Longaville and Dumaine, who all swear themselves to three years of study, abstaining from all distractions (particularly of the female kind) with only the Spanish lord Armado, and the jester Costard to entertain them. They are confounded, only moments after signing the vow, to learn that the Princess of France and her three ladies, Rosaline, Maria, and Katharine, are on an embassy trip to Navarre’s court.

As each gentleman falls for a lady, hilarious chaos ensues as they try to woo the women behind each other’s backs.

All the while, Armado and Costard get into their own stand-off as they

both woo the village girl Jaquenetta, while the constables attempt in their uneducated ways to keep everything under control. It’s a comedy, love story and wild romp, all rolled into one!

Love’s Labour’s Lost is directed by ATTP newcomer Nafeesa Monroe (Artistic Director of Classics In Color Theatre Company NYC), and stars ATTP familiar faces Bill Viau, Conor Moroney, Elizabeth ‘Lily’ Cardaropoli, Will Johnston, Andrew Burke, Amelia Nudd-Homeyer, Aislinn Hird, Dennis Sullivan, Corey Trask, Anna Brown, Frederick Bickford, Ariel C. Moore, and introduces to the ATTP stage Johnny Segalla, Vicky Dworkin, Sam Clifton, Zack Blair, Carolyn Hart, Hannah Nye, and Ellie Bartz.

Advice To The Players is a unique company of theater professionals, enthusiastic community members and energetic teens that have been performing Shakespeare and offering workshops in New Hampshire’s lakes and mountains area since 1999.

The award-winning productions bring William Shakespeare’s richly passionate plays to life and introduce new generations to live theater and to Shakespeare’s brilliantly rendered portraits of humanity.

Workshops and Artisan Show in August at Sandwich Home Industries The League of NH Craftsmen will be bustling in August with workshops and also the annual Artisans on the Green that many visitors look forward to each summer.

Artisans on the Green For one special day during August, over 30 New Hampshire craftspeople will gather together at the beautiful Sandwich, NH town green for the annual craft demonstration and sale day, called Artisans on the Green. This year the event will be held on Thursday, August 9, when the Main Street of Center Sandwich will once again become a center of craft celebration and fun for the entire family.

Always popular demonstrations on the green include watercolor techniques

by Kathryn Field, chair caning by John Worthington, and woodworking

by Ben Adriance. In addition, many artisans will show examples of pottery making, jewelry making in glass, oil painting, chair seat weaving, and sculpture in their individual tent locations throughout the day. Every craftsperson on the green is eager and ready to answer questions while encouraging visitors to learn about the skills, materials, and production steps necessary to “do it yourself.” Everyone is encouraged to wander on the green, learn, have fun, and find unique crafts to own or gift.

This year’s Artisans on the Green, held during the annual town-wide Sandwich Old Home Week, promises to have something for everyone: craft demonstrations, access to artists, beautiful crafts for sale, animals to pet, and delicious food. Sandwich Home Industries organizes the event that is sponsored by Meredith Village Savings Bank. Admission for the entire event is free, and there is plentiful parking at marked locations in the historic and beautiful town of Center Sandwich.

Potter demonstrating at Artisans on the Green ers, noodles, and confetti. Your creations will be fired in a kiln, melting the glass into beautiful sun catchers.

Simple wire working will be covered to hang your pieces. Due to firing and annealing times, your finished pieces can be picked up or sent to you. You will be able to make one large 6x6-in. piece or several smaller pieces. Finished examples and creative ideas will be available. Glass technology, safety, glass cutting, and equipment will be covered.

On August 23 and 24, join in a fastpaced two-day workshop that will give you a chance to explore kiln-fired glass and many of the techniques that make melting glass so exciting. Using clear and black Bullseye glass as a base, design and create a collection of glass pendants using dichroic, transparent and opaque glass. In the first class, you will be cutting the dichroic glass to create color and design. The clear and black dichroic glass pieces will be fully fused into two large squares. In the second class, you will cold work the glass by cutting and shaping the glass into pendants. The pieces will be fired a second time to fire polish the glass into the finished pendants. Get ready to work hard and have fun.

Lynn is a glass artist and for the past 20 years has mastered the art of melting glass into original wall pieces, functional art, and jewelry.

Her inspiration comes from the New England landscapes and the art and spirit of the ancient artist.

Meredith 250th Main Street Parade

Join in the Historic Celebration and Cheer on the Parade!

The much-anticipated Meredith 250th Main Street Parade will take place on Saturday, August 11 beginning at 10 am. “I’m thrilled to be a part of bringing excitement and fun to downtown Meredith,” stated Chris Kelly, Co-Chair of the Parade Committee.

“The enthusiasm in this town is amazing,” stated Kathy LaPoint, Parade Committee Co-Chair. “It’s been a joy to see everyone eager and motivated to participate.”

LaPoint went on to say that more than 60 entries totaling over 300 individuals from local businesses, civic clubs, nonprofit groups, theaters, community organizations and individuals are participating. This spectacular showing will encompass floats, antique cars and other vehicles, fire trucks, horseback riders, marching groups, marching bands, and more.

The Committee is pleased to announce the Co-Grand Marshalls of the Main Street Parade. Well-known and well-respected former Inter-Lakes educators Marjorie Lee and Wendell Whitcher will greet the crowds in a 1968 Mustang driven by Glen LaPoint near the parade’s front.

Some of the entries everyone will enjoy seeing are the Archie Car with the family of Bob Montana, the Meredith Historical Society and Wicwas Grange floats, and the Annalee antique car.

There will be something for everyone.

Marching Bands include the NH Pipe and Drum Band, The Shriners Band and clowns, Firehouse Dixieland Band and the Inter-Lakes High School Marching Band and Flag Brigade. Horseback riders will showcase flags and Greater Meredith Program volunteers will act as clean up behind them.

Businesses creating floats include Middleton Building Supply, Salmon Press, Bryant Paving, Lovering Volvo and Remax Bayside, to name just a few.

The Meredith Police Department will provide an escort for the Parade.

The Meredith Fire Department and the

Parade militia.

Marine Color Guard will participate and many others too numerous to mention!

The parade in downtown Meredith will begin on the southern side of Main Street at the intersection of Waukewan and Cross Streets, and continue down Main Street to the traffic lights, bearing south on Route 3 and then right onto Mill Street to Middleton Building Supply. The parade will be held rain or shine.

A grandstand will be located on Main Street next to the Meredith Historical Society Museum, similar to the location during the 1968 Bicentennial Parade.

Well-known local radio announcer and personality, Pat Kelly, will be announcing the groups as they pass by.

Lakes Region Public Access will have three video cameras stationed along the route to record the historic parade.

The public is encouraged to seek out available free parking early at the town’s public parking areas on Route 3 (at the intersection of Routes 3 and 25 in the former Aubuchon lot, further north on the opposite side, and at Prescott Park). There is limited public parking in the downtown area that day, which is encouraged to be reserved for the elderly or disabled. There will be no

parking directly on Main Street from 7 am to 1 pm.

Be sure to listen to the Good Morning New Hampshire Show on WEMJ 107.3FM on Wednesday, August 8 at 9:15 am when Parade Committee members will be live on-air sharing more details about the historic parade.

Chillin’ While Grillin’ Grilling Fresh Fish Out Of Lake Winnipesaukee

By Chef Kelly Ross Can you believe it’s already August?

To all of my local friends who read my article from time to time, thanks for checking it out. For all the vacationers checking out our beautiful Lakes Region, I hope a recipe or two here sparks something within you to do some grilling, especially where today’s theme is cooking fresh fish out of beautiful Lake Winnipesaukee.

However, to all vacationers who aren’t here to fish but do fish regularly, I hope something strikes a chord. Our local catches can be outstanding eating, but our lake is not unique to great fish entrees, so these upcoming recipes are somewhat universal in that they can be used for the same types of fish depending on where you fish or live.

Although I have been a working chef for many years and cooked hundreds of fresh fish dishes, to write this article, I thought it best to do a little research on how many species of fish there are in our big lake. Alphabetically, when it comes to fish that swim in Lake Winnipesaukee, you can find everything from the American Eel to the Yellow Perch with more than two dozen other varieties in between.

Although I am quite familiar with many, such as a couple of local salmon and a few types of bass and trout, there are some I never heard of before, such as the Slimy Sculpin and the Black Crappie. Where do some of these names come from, and more importantly, do we really want to know? With so many species of fish in the world, I can only imagine how many other classic names I would find if I did enough research. I promise not to share any recipes for the Black Crappie or the Slimy Sculpin!

Today I’m going to focus on lake trout, salmon, and bass.

I prefer to cook on the grill, and I’m also a big fan of cooking within foil on the grill, especially when it comes to cooking white fish. I admit I’m not a fisherman, but I have cooked and eaten many fish in my day. Trout and bass are both a white flaky fish, although bass is firmer than trout. Trout can often

be flaky to the point of being fragile.

Some of my recipes are done within foil and some directly on the grill.

Flaky fish can sometimes fall through the grill once cooked, so the foil keeps everything moist within the foil and with the liquid/spices tossed in, generally wine, butter, citrus juice and seasonings, the fish will melt in your mouth.

Another option to the foil is using a fish grilling pan. The fish is put between the two sides of the open, crisscrossed pan so the fish is held together by the two sides but is still wide open to be cooked directly on the grill. I still prefer the foil method, though. Like many chefs, I am always looking for new great recipe. When it comes to trout and bass, simpler seems to be the most popular.

Salmon, on the other hand, is one of those fish you can have fun with regarding certain twists and turns to recipes. Salmon is more flexible when it comes to cooking methods; it’s kind

of like the chicken of the fresh fish world. Everyone has their own theory, but I know I speak for many when I defend this mentality. Simple trout recipes in particular are the best. Both trout and bass can be great as grilled fillets or grilled whole. (Yes, when grilled whole they still must be gutted and cleaned first.)

Since the trout recipes are simple, here are three of my favorites.

Grilled Lake Trout with Minced Garlic This will cook up less than 10 minutes in most cases, unless the fillets are extremely large. As I said earlier, these fillets will be cooked in foil. Always make sure the foil is sprayed with pan release. I also rub the skin side of the trout with olive oil, so it will be easier to flip the fish over and help crisp it up a little.

Here is the small list of ingredients.

Four 6 to 8-oz. fillets of skin-on trout 8 tbsp butter 4 cloves garlic, minced 2 tsp Old Bay Seasoning Salt and pepper A splash of white wine A splash of lemon juice Sheets of foil

Test your skills!

Known throughout the country for family fun!

Heat your grill to high. Spray the foil and oil the skin of the trout. Place the trout on the foil, skin side down.

Place the pats of butter on the flesh side of the trout as well as the garlic and seasonings. The trout should cook in only 3-4 minutes on each side. Be careful flipping them at the halfway point, as the fish may be fragile. Once done, carefully pull the sheets of foil off, and place the fish gently onto a cooking sheet and serve. Once the trout fillets are on plates, skin side down, drizzle the melted butter, wine and seasoning from the foil over the trout and dig in. Wicked simple, wicked good, and wicked moist!

Another of my favorites is a Trout Almondine. Granted, the traditional version of this recipe is breaded, and pan fried, but there is no reason why this can’t rock it on the grill, and if it matters to you, this is a much healthier version. Again, I strongly recommend using foil, whether it be a huge piece for as many fish as you are cooking or individual sheets for each piece. I usually suggest individual foil packs for each piece as it’s easier to remove from the grill, not to mention it’s much easier to serve. The ingredient list is basically the same as the last recipe, except add toasted almonds out of the oven and sliced lemon to the top and maybe some fresh chopped parsley.

The next trout recipe includes cooking the whole fish, gutted and cleaned. In some respects, there is no reason why the previous recipes can’t be cooked using the whole trout as well. The cool thing about doing it this way is that you don’t need the foil and the skin that most everyone loves is nice and crispy.

I think most of the diehard fishermen out there may prefer cooking the whole trout as it is a bigger meal after a day out on the lake. The foil method does make the trout a moister and flakier fish as opposed to crisper, but both methods are awesome. If cooked properly, the whole fish will be plenty flaky as well.

It isn’t as idiot-proof as in foil, but if you are a seasoned veteran, or even an experienced attentive grill cook, it’s not too tough. The key again is to rub both sides of the skin of the fish with olive oil. Once it hits the fire, the fish

August 6, 2018 • Chillin’ While Grillin’ Continued from page 26 will crisp up beautifully. Here is the small list of ingredients.

2 trout, cleaned 2 Tbsp olive oil 6 pats of butter Coarse sea salt and black pepper ½ Vidalia or sweet onion, thinly sliced ½ of a lemon, thinly sliced as well 1 clove of garlic, minced 2 sprigs fresh rosemary and also fresh thyme Anytime you grill the whole trout it is vital to have the grill on a high heat, or most any fish with the skin on. Again, give the trout a rub down on both sides with the olive oil as well as salt and pepper. Then, go into the cavity of the fish and salt and pepper that as well. Split the lemon and onion slices between the two, as well as the butter and garlic, and a sprig of thyme and rosemary into each. Toss the fish on the grill and turn to low and cook about 6 to 7 minutes on each side. Depending on the time frame, close the grill for a few minutes on each side.

Let’s move on to a similar fish and style of cooking for lake bass. Like the trout, there are a few different species of bass in the big lake, but all in all, it doesn’t have to change the cooking process, other than the cooking time, depending on size. You can serve the bass over a light bed of clam chowder on the plate, which gives it a nice touch. These bass fillets are actually marinated for about ½ hour before grilling. You could also try this recipe with trout; but do so in foil since it’s generally smaller and flakier.

4 bass fillets, skin on, about 8 oz. each ¼ cup olive oil 3 Tbsp fresh lemon juice A few sprigs of fresh oregano 2 garlic cloves, minced Coarse salt and black pepper Mix all ingredients, except for the bass and salt, very thoroughly in a large bowl. Add the bass fillets and turn them to get the marinade working its magic.

Cover the bowl or pan and refrigerate for ½ hour or so. While marinating, get the grill turned on and cranked right up to a high heat. Once ready to grill, let most of the marinade drip off the fillets and put on the grill, skin side down and then salt them. Once the skin is starting to crisp, carefully turn the bass fillets over and continue to cook for 5-7 minutes. You can garnish with chopped scallions and a lemon wedge for each piece.

Having done some white fish grilling, let’s move on to a couple of great salmon recipes. Salmon is a truly healthy and meaty fish that is full of flavor and is incredibly versatile. It is very good with simple recipes like we did for the trout and bass, but salmon can be so awesome using a little

imagination. I have enjoyed many a hunk of salmon simply drizzled with olive oil and a few seasonings, but I do prefer to show more imagination.

Some fun recipes can take the flavor of salmon to a whole new level.

Although many people prefer the salmon skinless, for grilling purposes, I strongly suggest grilling it skin-on.

My main thought process here is that it truly helps keep the salmon intact while grilling, not to mention it is very easy to set the salmon and leave the skin behind.

Let’s start with a Grilled Caramelized Salmon. (Once I heard the name caramelized, I was sold on it immediately.)

Ingredients: 4 skin-on salmon fillets, about 8 oz. per piece and about 1-inch thick 2 tsp coarse sea salt 2 tsp dried dill weed 3-4 Tbsp brown sugar I always suggest, when grilling salmon skin on, that you score the skin by making 3-4 diagonal cuts one way, and 3-4 more cuts in the other direction, making diamond patterns.

Make sure you are only cutting into the skin and not the flesh. The purpose of this it keeps the salmon from curling during the grilling process.

In a large pan, lay the fillets in, skin side down. Sprinkle the salt over the meat side of the salmon, then the dill weed over the salt, and lastly, cover the dill with brown sugar. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours or so. This allows the salmon to cure and the brown sugar to dissolve within the salmon.

Heat the grill, which has been sprayed with pan release or greased, to high heat. Place the salmon on one side of the grill, skin side down, and immediately turn that side of the grill off but leave the other side on and close the lid to the grill. This is called cooking with indirect heat. Check the salmon after 10-12 minutes for doneness. As a general rule, if you have a thermometer, 145 degrees is perfect.

If not, give them a light squeeze on each side, it should give somewhat within and barely flake in the middle.

You could also pierce a piece gently with a fork and see if it flakes. If you are a seasoned veteran when cooking salmon, you will know when it is ready. Do not flip the salmon. Let the seasonings and sugar take care of the cooking, curing and caramelization. It will cook throughout without flipping it over during the cooking process.

Lastly, Grilled Citrus Salmon with an Orange Hollandaise Sauce is as easy as it gets. Many people are apprehensive about making hollandaise sauce, but trust me, it goes together quickly. I strongly suggest using a thick cut of salmon, at least 1-inch thick.

Grilled Citrus Salmon with an Orange Hollandaise Sauce

For the Salmon: 4 six-eight oz. fillets of salmon ½ cup olive oil salt and pepper Juice of 2 oranges 2 more oranges, sliced into ¼ - ½ inches, 8 or 12 slices total 3 cloves of garlic, minced 5 sprigs fresh rosemary 1 sprig fresh thyme For the Hollandaise: 4 large or jumbo egg yolks 1-pound butter, melted, but not hot Juice of 1 orange A hint of cayenne pepper (optional) To prep the salmon, place the olive oil, salt, pepper, juice of 2 oranges, minced garlic, and one of the rosemary sprigs and the thyme sprig in a bowl.

Place the salmon flat in a large Ziploc bag and pour the marinade over the fish and seal the bag. Gently, turn the bag over a few times to get the salmon and marinade well mixed, but be careful not to bruise or break the salmon.

Refrigerate for an hour or so.

Similar to the Caramelized Salmon, this one is also cooked with an indirect heat. Get both sides of the grill cranked up to high with the lid closed. Lay down the orange slices in four rows of 2 or 3, depending on how many slices you have. Lay the salmon filets over the orange slices, top each one with a rosemary sprig, close the lid and cook for 15-20 minutes, depending on how thick the fillets are.

While the salmon is cooking, put the hollandaise sauce together. You will need a double boiler, or it is very easy to improvise. If improvising, I

suggest a very small pan with a small stainless bowl that fits over the pan.

In the bottom pan on a stove burner, get water to warm, slightly steaming.

Turn off. If the water is too hot, you will cook the egg yolks. Beat them in the bowl and then put on top of the warm pan. Once the yolks are mixed, slowly drizzle in the melted butter in small amounts at a time whisking the whole time. If you feel it is getting too hot, remove pan from the water pan. If not hot enough, turn the water on to a slow simmer for a bit. Once the butter has been incorporated, add the juice and cayenne and mix again. The sauce should be room temperature to slightly warm. Lightly ladle over the salmon and watch your crowd smile from ear to ear. I generally add some orange zest over the top with a light sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley.

I hope at least one of these recipes sounds like something you would love to try for your family, or any small get together. We live in such a gorgeous and outstanding area when it comes to Mother Nature’s beauty, and our lakes and brooks give some outstanding fish for grilling. It seems crazy not to take advantage of all of it, does it not?

Next week I will be bringing you an incredible array of ideas for another of our local favorites, fresh corn on the cob cooked on the grill. They will range from the basic to some fun and wild ideas. As the classic line goes, tis the season! Until next week, continue to Get Your Grill On. If you have any questions or feedback, please touch base at fenwaysox10@ gmail.com.

Meet Joyce Endee - Craft Show Maven

By Sarah Wright I love a good craft show. I feel like I should have a bumper sticker on my car that says, “I brake for craft shows” because just seeing signs for an upcoming craft fair makes me smile.

There are always unique items among the tables, whether you’re Christmas shopping at a fair during the holiday season, or shopping lakeside on a beautiful summer day. Although more and more crafts are becoming available online, there’s nothing like being able to see and touch an item up close. A craft fair is an experience in itself and a fun outing with family or friends.

Many popular craft fairs in our area happen because of one very organized woman with a love of crafting—Joyce Endee. Her hard work and dedication to promoting local crafters and artisans makes these craft shows possible.

Naturally, I was excited to be able to find out more from the woman herself!

Joyce Endee can often be seen in her golf cart at her craft fairs.

Joyce’s journey began years ago when she was on the Board of Directors is my 27th year of craft fairs with a total golf cart. Items for sale can include for the New Hampshire Humane of 17 fairs this year.

In the Although summertime is her busy lotions, home décor, jewelry, scarves, years since, she realized that she found season, Joyce’s work is demanding, furniture, plants, holiday decorations, her calling. even in the downtime of winter, and spice rubs for cooking.

“I used to teach school at the which involves applications, permits, “It is fun to see creativity in its Community College in Nashua and was insurance, contracts, advertising, and various forms,” says Joyce, “Some instrumental in organizing teacher’s more.

Lakes for the There is a jurying process for exhibitors, and they must submit photos of their arts and crafts. However, selling crafts can be a tough business.

Through the years, Joyce has seen the popularity of different arts and crafts change, and this has been due to retail trends. While some unique creations sell well, others may not. As Joyce says, “The customers are the judges.”

Your Where-To-Go, What-To-Do Guide for the Lakes Region Joyce tries hard to make her exhibitors successful through extensive advertising campaigns. It must be working, because crafter referrals are www.thelaker.com the primary reason that Joyce’s craft shows have grown over the years. “My * 12 Month Financing Available Your Where-To-Go, favorite part about organizing a craft What-To-Do Guide show is having my exhibitors tell me, for the Lakes Region ‘Great fair, Joyce!’” she says.

I wondered if Joyce was a crafter herself, and the answer is yes. She does lots of sewing projects, including quilting, but she’ll never have a booth at one of her fairs for two reasons. The first is that she’s obviously too busy coordinating and solving issues during the fair, and the second is that she

doesn’t want to compete with her other fabric exhibitors.

Joyce organizes fairs mainly in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire as well as two fairs in Nashua during the holiday season, and five fairs in North Conway at the Community Center, scheduled throughout the year. She also oversees a fair at the historic Wayside Inn in Sudbury, Massachusetts.

“In the Lakes Region, the Wolfeboro craft festivals are the most successful ones,” Joyce says, “The recent fair at Brewster Academy had close to 110 exhibitors with a variety of arts and crafts media.”

If you haven’t yet been to a craft show this year, here is a list of the upcoming fairs happening in the Lakes Region, so mark your calendars! (All shows are held rain or shine.) There will be one at the Tanger Outlets in Tilton on August 4th (10 am to 5 pm) and 5th (10 am to 4pm); at Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro on August 10th and 11th (10 am to 5 pm), and 12th (10 am to 4 pm); at Gunstock Mountain Resort in Gilford on September 1st and 2nd (10 am to 5 pm), and 3rd (10 am to 3 pm); again at the Tanger Outlets in Tilton on September 22nd (10 am to 5 pm) and 23rd (10 am to 4 pm); returning to Gunstock Mountain Resort in Gilford on October 6th and 7th (10 am to 5 pm), and 8th (10 am to 3 pm); and lastly, at the Belknap Mall in Belmont on November 17th (10 am to 4 pm) and 18th (10 am to 3 pm).

I’ve personally found many great items at Joyce’s Craft Fairs in Wolfeboro at Brewster Academy.

Over the years, I’ve purchased cloth placemats, decorative holiday pins, dishtowels, homemade soaps, jewelry cleaner, wooden animal puzzle boxes, and a shirt for my son with a dinosaur design on it that he could color in. At a recent craft fair, we also enjoyed some fresh squeezed lemonade. You just never know what you’ll find!

Joyce is always looking for new and creative exhibitors. Creativity is what customers enjoy, and she believes that this is what will keep craft fairs going for years to come. Joyce can be reached at 603-528-4014 or through her website at www.joycescraftshows.com. A full show schedule is on the website, along with a vendor application. You can also follow her on the Joyce’s Craft Shows Facebook page. Whether you’re looking for a unique item for yourself or as a gift, there’s something for everyone at one of Joyce’s craft shows!

A Wonderful August Filled With Concerts at Great Waters August brings some wonderful talent to Great Waters Music Festival, starting with the Doo Wop Project. Back by overwhelming demand The Doo Wop Project will grace the stage again this year at the Kingswood Arts Center in Wolfeboro on August 10.

Doo Wop is a form of rhythm and blues music that was developed in African-American communities in the United States in the late 1930s and early 1940s and achieved huge popularity in the 1950s and 60s.

The Doo Wop Project begins at the beginning, tracing the evolution of Doo Wop from the classic sound of five guys singing tight harmonies on a street corner to the biggest hits on the radio today. Throughout the show, the Project takes audiences on a journey from foundational tunes of groups like the Crests, Belmonts and Flamingos through their influences on the sounds of Smokey Robinson, the Temptations, the Four Seasons all the way to Michael Jackson, Jason Mraz and Amy Winehouse.

Featuring current and former stars of two of Broadway’s smash hits Jersey Boys and Motown: The Musical, the Doo Wop Project brings unparalleled authenticity of sound and vocal excellence to recreate, and in some cases entirely re-imagine, some of the greatest music in American pop and rock history.

Strains of “Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens” will fill the air the evening of August 17 at Anderson Hall when Adrienne Danrich makes a return to Wolfeboro with her eclectic recital called My Favorite Things. All the songs contained in her program mean a great deal to Danrich. She

The popular Doo Wop Project will tie personal stories and anecdotes about how the songs came to be a part of her repertoire as she performs some familiar and perhaps some not so familiar songs with her beautiful soprano voice. Included will be songs from the American Songbook, Broadway, Opera and traditional spirituals.

Ms. Danrich is an alumna of the Eastman School of Music and the University of Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music and while still a student there she was commissioned by the Cincinnati Opera to write This Little Light of Mine: The Stories of Marian Anderson ad Leontyne Price which won a 2011 National Academy of Television Art and Sciences Chicago/Midwest Emmy. She has also written and performed An Evening in the Harlem Renaissance inspired by the life of Langston Hughes and Echoes of the Harlem Renaissance. Her latest

endeavor is her newly written onewoman show, Love & Trouble: Five Personas – One Voice. She will be accompanied by pianist Djordje Nesic.

Once again, the Great Waters Music Festival is offering this performance as a gift to the greater community in appreciation for supporting the arts.

Even though there is no charge for this performance, tickets are required and may be picked up at the Great Waters office, 54 North Main Street, Wolfeboro. There were very few empty seats at last year’s performance so pick up your tickets early.

The Capitol Steps will return to Wolfeboro on Saturday, August 24 to wrap up the Great Waters Music Festival 2018 season at the Kingswood Arts Center. The show time is 7:30 pm.

Come as you are and laugh as you get a new perspective on politics.

Although the Capitol Steps are based in Washington, DC, most of

their shows are out-of-town or for outof-town audiences, whether it’s the National Welding Supply Association, a university audience, high schoolers, or state legislators. In fact, the Capitol Steps have performed for the last five Presidents. The only complaints the Steps seem to get are from politicians and personalities who are not included in the program!

No matter who or what is in the headlines, you can bet the Capitol Steps will tackle both sides of the political spectrum and all things equally foolish.

What more would you expect from the group that puts the “MOCK” in Democracy?

Most cast members have worked on Capitol Hill; some for Democrats, some for Republicans, and others for politicians who firmly straddle the fence. No matter who holds office, there’s never a shortage of material.

Elaina Newport, producer of Capitol Steps, says, “Typically the Republicans goof up, and the Democrats party.

Then the Democrats goof up and the Republicans party. That’s what we call the two-party system.”

Great Waters Music Festival is a non-profit organization dedicated to culturally enriching New Hampshire’s Lakes Region. The festival encompasses a diversified program designed to appeal to a variety of musical tastes.

Its purpose is to promote live musical performances including folk, pops, jazz, Broadway, dance, and renowned vocal and instrumental artists.

Blueberries and Backroad Adventures Story & Photos by Kathi Caldwell-Hopper Summer is sweet, and it always seems too short. In my busy life, before I know it July has slid into August…and then suddenly I see signs for “back to school” everywhere.

The months of May through September are my favorites and we have been blessed with some wonderful, hot and sunny days thus far this season (and a lot of rain too!). It does not take much of a reason for me to vie from my plans for a day when the sun is shining and the weather warm.

Thus, it was that I found myself on a Friday adventure of the kind I like best: no set idea in mind except to wander and take in the beauty of the Lakes

Region. I had an appointment for a story interview at the Loon Center on Lee’s Mills Road in Moultonborough and I was looking forward to the trip.

The Loon Center is one of my favorite places. With a great gift shop, a visitor’s center with exhibits and a great network of walking trails (some near the shore of Winnipesaukee) there is a lot to do and to see at the Center. Additionally, executive director Harry Vogel often brings his beloved Labrador dog to work with him, and she is a friendly greeter to those who stop to chat with Harry.

I watched the video about the life of a common loon, and the work the Loon Center does to protect the loons; it is a big job and staff and volunteers create

I have walked the Frederick and Paula Markus Wildlife Sanctuary trails at the Loon Center many times and I decided to take a stroll over the trails since it was such a nice day. Trails begin at the trailhead to the left of the Loon Center. I decided to take the Forest Trail, and I turned left at the bridge area over Halfway Brook. This

is an interior trail and brings the hiker into the woods, but not too far from the Center. It was a hot, sunny late July day when I walked the trail, but it was cool…and gloriously quiet…in the woods. I took the right-turn to go back to the Center. Although I knew I could spend the entire day in the woods, I did have somewhat of a plan for the day, including some late afternoon work to accomplish.

It should be noted that the trails at • Day Tripping Continued on page 31

If I had stuck to my plan, I would have headed back to my office, but there is no denying summertime in New Hampshire is short. I decided to give in to my backroad adventurous spirit and took Lee’s Mills Road back to Route 25 north. Would I end up in the North Conway area? It was a possibility. Or perhaps explore the secondary roads of Tamworth and Sandwich? Maybe that would make for a grand adventure for this summer’s day.

My choice was made when I realized it was getting near to noontime and I would need lunch soon. “Surely there will be a nice little place to eat in Tamworth or Sandwich,” I told myself.

Thus, I took a left-hand turn onto Rt. 113A (off Route 25) and drove leisurely for a few miles. The road is of the twisting, winding variety, and I enjoyed seeing marsh areas on either side of the road. Suddenly, I saw a white sign with a bright orange ribbon to attract the eye. The sign read, “Pick Your Own” Blueberries - Loaded.”

This was all the invitation I needed to decide to go blueberry picking. I spied a few more signs that led eventually to a right-hand turn off Rt. 113A down a road lined with old, tall trees. Soon I saw another blueberry sign and made a right turn onto Cold River Road.

Down the country road, I soon came to a wonderful place, with a pop-up tent where a friendly woman was on duty to explain where the best picking was on that particular day. She told me her husband, Earl Pearson, started the blueberry farm some years ago. “His name is Earl and I call him the Earl of Sandwich! We’ve been married for 65 years,” she also told me with a smile.

The tent overlooks the blueberry field area, with a stream beyond the blueberry bushes. Looking down onto the fields, I do not think I have ever seen a place where the bushes literally looked light blue, due to the number of delicious blueberries! I spent a delightful hour berry picking and took some time to chat with Earl, who had come down from the couple’s nearby home to oversee the operation while his wife ran an errand.

Back on the road, I traveled on Rt. 113A, one of my favorite roads in the summer. I don’t have a particular reason why this is a favorite road; it is just a pretty country drive. Eventually

I came to an intersection area and took a left to follow Rt. 113, eventually coming onto Maple Street.

No visit to Sandwich is complete, in my opinion, without stopping at the Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery at 69 Maple Street. The big barn was open, and this is the gallery where you will find a variety of incredible artwork.

A number of talented artists are exhibiting in the gallery, and among my favorites (if I had to choose) were some wonderful landscape paintings

by Kate Emlen.

Upcoming will be an opening on August 11 featuring the work of Cameron Roberts, among other happenings taking place throughout the summer and into September. The gallery representative urged me to browse the upstairs gallery in the big barn as well as viewing the first-floor exhibits and I was glad I did. Upstairs, among the paintings, was an exhibit of books that have been banned at various times. It was fascinating to see the books I perceive as being great works or simply benign reads and the reasons they were banned!

Back on the road, I was near downtown Center Sandwich and of course made a stop at the Sandwich Home Industries League of NH Craftsmen near the town green. This is one of my favorite places, with the shop housed in a charming building with wood-paneled walls, creating a warm atmosphere. Here I always find some high-quality creations, from pottery to prints, jewelry and much, much more. Soon - on August 9 to be exact - the shop will oversee the popular Artisans on the Green event. The art fair is sponsored by the Sandwich Home Industries each summer and is intended to showcase the many artistic talents around the Sandwich area. Artisans will gladly discuss and/ or demonstrate their artistic process as well as providing their work for sale.

The fair is located on the town green in Center Sandwich, right in front of the Sandwich Home Industries.

During the fair, the Women’s Club of Sandwich has a wonderful lunch available with the proceeds supporting their scholarship program. (Visit http:// centersandwich.nhcrafts.org. for more information.)

As I drove on, I spotted the Surroundings Art Gallery at 12 Main in Center Sandwich. In a beautiful gallery, Surroundings shares a lovely space with Advice To The Players, a local theatrical troupe. Surroundings specializes in original fine art produced by extremely talented locally connected artists. Art work is done in a variety of mediums (oil, watercolor,

Family Camping in a Farm Setting on the Swift River

pastels, acrylics). Most of the subject matter is landscape oriented in a representational style. In addition, the gallery offers original children’s book illustrations from renowned author/ illustrators David McPhail and Karel Hayes.

The gallery is open during the summer and autumn months. A second gallery is located in the Melcher & Prescott building at 954 Whittier Highway in Moultonborough (just down the road.)

I love the paintings at Surroundings and browsed for some time to look at the variety of work. (Among my favorite paintings was “Charlie’s Place” by Ted Nichols and “Mountains and Marsh” by Celia Judge.) To learn more, visit www.surroundingsart.com.

While I was at Surroundings, I couldn’t resist browsing in the adjacent shop (in the same building) for Willow Pond Antiques & Goods. This is a unique shop featuring antique and vintage furniture, curiosities, handmade soaps and botanicals, one-of-a-kind jewelry and more. For information, email willowpond@metrocast.net.

By this time, it was mid-afternoon, but I found I could easily skip lunch because, of course, I had been snacking on all those delicious blueberries I picked an hour or so ago. But it was time to head home, so I chose the scenic route of Bean Road which eventually leads back to Center Harbor.

The road winds around the water and I got to see many pretty views along the way, and a number of older cottages.

It was easy to imagine the early days

Page 31

of vacationing, when summer city folk would travel to Squam and stay for the entire season at their rustic summer camps.

Although I had no plans to attend a yard or estate sale on this day, when I saw a sign for an estate sale on a side road, I thought, “What the heck?” Why not go to see what was for sale?

At one time, collecting antiques was a bit of a hobby of mine, but in my efforts to down size I seldom go to yard sales these days. But the thrill of what one might find now and then leads me to stop at sales, and on this day, I found myself at a wonderful little home near the lake. The sale was being conducted by a group of women, and they urged me to look around.

This is just the kind of sale I love; being allowed to browse and open cupboards and closets is rather like a treasure hunt. I try to limit myself when attending such sales, due to that downsizing effort, and I walked away with just one treasure: a large print advertising the League of NH Craftsmen’s annual fair at Sunapee State Park in 1982. It was framed and ready to hang and a bargain at the low price of $5.00!

Later in the day, back at home, I relaxed with a cooling glass of lemonade and examined my estate sale find, happy with the purchase.

“Just the kind of day trip I love,” I said to myself. And the kind of day with temps in the 80s, and lots of sunshine, which I would savor in my memory come the cold and snowy days next winter.

The Unique Alton Bay Water Bandstand

By Mark Foynes Photo courtesy Water Bandstand Committee According to one local historian, Alton Bay’s Water Bandstand is probably the only structure of its kind in the U.S. Bandstands are common.

But ones built upon a stone ridge in the middle of a bay in a state’s largest lake - now that’s a true one-of-a-kind.

The Water Bandstand helps give Alton its identity; and it helps define our region. Built in 1928, it’s nearly a century old, and restoration efforts are in progress to preserve this local landmark. Currently, the structure has a new roof, and other endeavors are apace.

Having a sense of place is essential to the quality of life for area residents and for helping guests identify with our special region. If you live here, something like the Water Bandstand tells you that you are home.

If you are a visitor, this landmark tells you that you have arrived at your destination. The Water Bandstand says, “Welcome to Lake Winnipesaukee.”

Indeed, local landmarks define us.

Most Granite State communities have that one special place that is distinctive and helps define its local character.

In the case of Alton, it’s a bandstand erected upon a rock in the middle of a

lake.

To be sure, in Alton, there are so many special places. But the Bay’s iconic Water Bandstand has served as a welcome mat to Winnipesaukee for visitors for nearly a century - basically since the dawn of the motor age.

That building is a constant reminder to year-rounders that they live in a uniquely special place. Even if you are just cruising by on Rte. 11, driving up to Gunstock or over to Laconia or Meredith, it’s a definite milestone.

Landmarks do have a way of telling us who we are, what we are, and where we are. But there are a lot of locals

#2: Reason ent: ironm The Env r Ships e Contain Are uters l l o P a Meg Imported furniture sold at most furniture stores comes from China and Vietnam on giant container ships. These ships burn bunker oil, a low-grade, tar like fuel with a high sulphur content made from leftover crude oil after gas production, causing over 60,000 premature deaths per year. Just one container ship emits as much pollution as 50 million automobiles. And there are over 6,000 container ships at sea right now.

who feel a stewardship responsibility for such places. And, after sitting atop a watery ledge for 90 years, the Water Bandstand can use a little TLC. So, there’s a move afoot to preserve this local landmark that has defined the Bay for nearly a century.

Just to orient readers - this is the hippedroof structure that’s a couple hundred feet offshore in the Bay. So, if you pull into the Bay parking lot next to the old Pavilion, it’s directly across the water about mid-Bay. Driving northwest on Route 11, a quick rubberneck to the right is a visual whisper that tells visitors, “You have arrived at Lake Winnipesaukee.”

The structure is inextricably intertwined with the Bay’s history. It’s also directly connected to the boating heritage of Lake Winnipesaukee.

Back in the 1920s, motorboating was on the rise. It obviously continues to be a recreational activity that pushes that century-old heritage forward.

But back in the 1920s, the pastime quickly assumed a competitive quality.

Like with anything that you motorize, there’s always the need to see who can go faster. Open it up to full-open throttle and let’s see who wins.

In the latter part of the Roaring Twenties, a group of boating enthusiasts started giving thought to organized boat racing. It had been done informally for years and led to the creation of the Alton Bay boat racing club.

At one point, there was a critical mass of boaters who wanted to speed so races were organized. To determine who was the fastest boater on the lake, a group of enthusiasts headed up by Lester Downing, Edward Downing, Harry Jones, Martin Lynch, Ralph Stevens, and Stephen Lynch launched a boating association which conducted regular boat races. Racers wanted to have a rallying point to gather at after the contests where judges could announce results.

This was the origin of the Water Bandstand. In 1927, the group began thinking of ways to formalize how to race finishes. As Chris Crafts and Garwoods took to the water, ears and eyeballs took to the lake: who’s getting a trophy and some bragging rights.

The result, according to one historian, was the construction of the Alton Bay Water Bandstand. It had a dual purpose: to provide a venue from which race officials could announce race winners and to host musical concerts that boaters and shoreside attendees could enjoy.

The Downing family was key in constructing the bandstand, (think Downing’s Landing). Although the family no longer own the site, they still feel a connection to the area.

Recently, Downing descendant Nancy Merrill recalled, “In the mid 1920s, a group of men from Alton Bay formed a racing association with the idea of racing speedboats.”

During a recent conversation she noted her family’s deep connection • Bandstand Continued on page 33

August 6, 2018 • Bandstand Continued from page 32 to the Bay. Born a Downing, she takes pride in her relationship with the Bay. Merrill also noted that the Downings were once connected to the store at Busy Corner and the old Winnipesaukee House where JP China is at now. Merrill, a preservation volunteer heading up a new committee, explained that the Water Bandstand was erected upon a water-submerged ridge beneath the Bay’s waters.

“Rowers could see it, so they knew it was there,” Merrill said of the aquatic ridge. “It seemed like a perfect place,” she said of the siting of the structure’s placement.

A document Merrill provided noted that a below-water foundation was engineered by building a crib of boulders that was sledded over the lake’s ice during the winter freeze in the late 1920s. Based on the timeline of the Bandstand’s completion, this would likely have been either very late in 1927 or before the 1928 ice-out.

The stones then rested upon the below-

water ledge, providing a platform upon which the bandstand could later be erected.

Once there was a foundation in place, Alton’s Olie Barnes was recruited to build the actual Bandstand.

The project was completed in time for the 1928 boating season.

The Alton town report for that year provided the financials depicting some of the details of the project.

Revenue-wise, the document says that $915.75 was collected through donations. (Adjusted for inflation, that’s over $13,300 in today’s money).

Fundraising efforts were supplemented by a $500 contribution from the town of Alton (about $7,300 in today’s money) as well as $134.51 - amounting to about $2,000 today - generated by “whist tournament” fundraisers.

Merrill explained that the committee used to hold card games to help generate revenue. (For those not familiar, “whist” is a trump-based, four-player game whose origins date back to Georgian-era England; it migrated to Colonial America prior to the Revolution).

The 1928 report listed expenses for the bandstand’s construction at $893.30 - about $13k in 2018 dollars.

The next largest expense was $660 allocated to a certain Frank I. Hayes for band concerts - about $9,600 in today’s purchasing power.

“The concerts were really popular, but it eventually became too difficult and expensive to do so many,” Merrill summarized. (She did note that a waterproof cord continues to provide electricity to the structure, which houses a lighted Christmas tree each winter.)

Back in 1928, additional expenses included $30 for advertising to promote a race regatta and $45 for prizes for speedboat races. Alton’s 1928 town financial report listed both cash contributions and in-kind contributions of time, labor, and materials. The document concluded, “Labor and materials and the use of teams and trucks were donated by the citizens to the extent of $679.80, making the total cost of the bandstand $1,573.10, which is the property of the Town of Alton.”

Although Merrill’s family played an

integral role in erecting the bandstand, she maintains the icon’s preservation is an ongoing community effort. Noting that several committee members are involved, Merrill stressed, “This is an effort for the community. It’s our heritage, and it helps tell the story of how the bay became the Bay. “It would really be wonderful if this same kind of local show of support emerged again among the citizens and businesses, making the restoration a real community project like it was at the beginning.”

She concluded, “It’s unique to Alton and we are dedicated to seeing this through.” She added that she was appreciative of voter support for efforts to preserve the structure.

Folks wanting to pitch in can contact the town by calling 603-875-2061.

Since Nancy Merrill is a volunteer, she doesn’t keep hours at the town hall, but anyone interested in helping preserve this local treasure through a donation of time or materials will receive a timely response.

Recent Work by Cameron Byron Roberts at Patricia Carega Gallery On Saturday, August 11 Cameron Byron Roberts will open an exhibit of recent work at Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery in Center Sandwich.

Says Patricia Carega, “Please join us for a reception to meet the artist from 5 to 7 pm. Roberts’ landscapes are immediately engaging; inviting the viewer to take a closer look at his subject: the Great Marsh of Boston’s North Shore.

ANOTHER REASON TO LIST WITH US.

Rothko and Frankenthaler, and abstract expressionists, Richter and Keifer, as well as English contemporary abstract artists, Roberts paintings are minimalistic landscapes where “less is more” and imperfections are a probable occurrence.

Perhaps Roberts best expresses his approach, “In times of visual sensory overload, the viewer is invited across surfaces, cracks and disruption where their own interpretation becomes part of the creative act.”

Roberts is an architect turned painter.

He began his career apprenticed to Frank Gehry, then taught architectural design and theory at Harvard,

Simply Charming: Found Object/Mixed Media Jewelry Lynda S. Vogel, an artist from Wolfeboro, NH, will display her latest work in a special showing at Hansel & Gretel Antiques in Melvin Village from August 10 to 12. Titled “Simply Charming”, this is Vogel’s second annual summer showing of found object/ mixed media jewelry in the Wolfefboro and Tuftonboro area of Lake Winnipesaukee.

Although her jewelry is available on a regular basis at Hansel & Gretel Antiques, the three-day show provides viewers with a unique opportunity to explore a larger exhibit and once a year special offerings from Vogel’s Designs East collection. It will also be a chance for the public to meet Vogel and to learn about her work.

Located at 436 Gov. Wentworth Highway, Rte 109 in Melvin Village, Hansel & Gretel will open the show starting at noon on Friday, August 10.

Lynda S. Vogel moved to Wolfeboro, NH from Estes Park, Colorado with her husband Michael in December of 2015. Both enjoy their new life in New England - Lynda exploring different art mediums and Michael as a professional photographer.

While in Colorado, Lynda served as the executive director of the Cultural Arts Council of Estes Park. She held this position for 24 years, until her retirement in June 2014.

Vogel’s 40-year arts career in Colorado involved many different aspects, including non-profit organization directorship, freelance graphic design, gallery owner, Estes Park Museum exhibits/education curator, Art Center of Estes Park, CO co-founder and exhibits/education curator, musician and fine artist.

Now as a full-time resident of NH, she continues to pursue her ongoing passion for the arts and love of the great outdoors.

Currently Vogel creates unique mixed media assemblage jewelry incorporating found objects, metals, gemstones, original art, vintage

Around the Towns

“The Traveler” - artist Lynda Vogel built this necklace on a section of a Middle Eastern dance belt. treasures and flea market finds. Each piece of jewelry is hand crafted and the Designs East collection features a variety of work, including her Charmed Series. Themes represent Lakes Region life, holidays, travel, abstract shapes and/or ethnic cultures. Necklaces range from simple designs on chain to more complex mixed media assemblage.

Since childhood, Vogel has collected and cherished charms, beads and small objects from around the world.

“Charms can tell stories, bring back or make new memories,” states Vogel.

“I remember my first charm bracelet and finding new additions on travels.

Trinkets and charms where also given to me by others who traveled. I was also fond of the small charms you would find in boxes of Cracker Jacks or cereals. I would trade with friends in the 1950’s and early 60’s and keep them in a special little pouch – what treasures they were back then and now.”

an art gallery in Boulder (CO), Vogel had the opportunity to buy an entire box of strung antique African trade beads from an Ethiopian diplomat.

“It was a stretch for me to come up with the $300 cash, but I managed to borrow enough from friends to make it work.” Even after years of making jewelry, some of those original beads can be found in her jewelry at this show.

Today Vogel still delights in the hunt – with an eye searching for that vintage charm, bead or well-worn piece of jewelry. For her it is a joy to repurpose and recycle them into wearable works of art, mixing old and new. Each piece has its own story with more intricate designs having an individual theme and title. Some of the earrings and necklaces are one of a kind, and others created in limited production. It is made to be enjoyed and worn by everyone in a wide price range.

The public is invited to attend an Artist Reception on August 10 from 4 to 6 pm. Refreshments will be served.

On Saturday August 11 from 10 am to 2 pm, Vogel will be on hand to answer questions about her work. Visitors can also enter for door prize giveaways over the three days of the show. Some restrictions will apply. Winners will be selected at random on Sunday, August 12 at 3 pm.

“Simply Charming” will be on display through August 12. The show is free and open to the public. Visitors are also invited to enjoy the shop’s array of antiques and collectables for sale by over 50 vendors.

Popular Freese Brothers Big Band Returns to Cate Park The Freese Brothers Big Band has been a popular draw in the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand in past summers and the band will return on Saturday, August 11, for a free concert as part of the Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand summer concert series.

The concert series, which runs each Saturday night from 7 to 9 pm in the bandstand in Cate Park, is free to the public.

The Freese Brothers Big Band, based in Concord, was formed in 1982 by the four Freese brothers, Jack, Bill, George and Courtland, who had begun playing music together in a family performing group in the 1930s. The purpose of the band is to support and encourage the development of the musical talents of the public, particularly young musicians and its members and to foster an appreciation of music of all eras.

The band members live and work throughout the southern and central New Hampshire area and come from diverse professional and musical backgrounds, including some talented high school students. They bring together years of experience to produce a distinctive sound. The band is proud to note that many of its high school members have gone on to college to study music as future careers.

The Freese Brothers Big Band

The Freese Brothers will perform in Cate Park on Saturday night, August 11. members are all volunteers and the band’s performance fees maintain the band’s equipment, pay travel expenses and support the Freese Brothers Big Band Memorial Scholarship Fund, which was formed in memory of departed musical friends. The band has awarded nearly $60,000 in scholarships to help high school musicians in the area improve their musical abilities.

As for what you’ll hear when you come to Cate Park on Saturday, August 11, the band provides quality entertainment for all sorts of occasions

and because of that, you will hear numerous different pieces of music throughout the concert. The band will play Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, Frank Sinatra and

Tommy Dorsey, but will also include updated arrangements of classic hits from newer artists, such as Michael Bublé.

The Freese Brothers Big Band will mark the start of the second month of the free concerts in Cate Park on Saturday night, as the Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand continue to strive to bring quality music to the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee each and every summer.

The show will start at 7 pm and runs through 9 pm, with a short intermission. Although there is no admission charged for the show, a passthe-bucket offering will be collected at intermission to help the Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand continue to bring the free concerts to the public every week.

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 an update will also appear at wolfeborobandstand.org and on the group’s Facebook page.

16th Annual Woods, Water & Wildlife Festival Gather the entire family and plan to spend the day outdoors, with all-things nature! Moose Mountains Regional Greenways’ 16th Annual Woods, Water & Wildlife Festival is taking place on Saturday, August 11 from 10 am to 3 pm at Branch Hill Farm, 307 Applebee Road, Milton Mills, NH. This day-long celebration of the great outdoors attracts more than 600 participants who make the most of this chance for families to have fun, explore and learn about the natural world together.

Says Moose Mountains Regional Greenways’ (MMRG) Education Coordinator Kari Lygren about some new festival offerings this year, “I’m looking forward to hearing storyteller Anne Jennison, with her Native American tales of the natural world.

And I can’t wait to sample some fresh, local produce and pick up some recipes from Seacoast Eat Local! They

also stock a lot of information about local agriculture, the economy and the environment, which will be part of our new Steps to Sustainability. Follow the carbon footprints to discover ways to reduce your impact on our local and global environments.”

The Festival offers a lot of fun learning experiences for children. In Nature’s Playground, kids swing on a rope, jump between log stumps, climb on a treehouse, walk along a fallen log and find something new to play on each year. Children use a crosscut saw to cut a thin slice of a pine log, then decorate it in Tree Cookies/Kids’ Craft Corner.

Families test their observational skills to discover hidden treasures in the woods in the Kids Discover the Forest event. Build a Bee House provides materials and instruction for kids to make a house for native bees, using hollow plant stems, clay, and plant pots.

Animal and wildlife lovers have several opportunities to get up close and personal with a variety of creatures.

Families observe and learn about rescued wildlife brought by Squam Lakes Natural Science Center; children use dip nets to look at creatures of the Salmon Falls River or borrow a pole and bait from NH Fish & Game to catch a fish from the farm pond. There are barnyard animals brought by 4H, Mitchell Logging draft horses to watch scooting logs, and animal pelts to touch in the Mountain Man’s Mansion.

Two different Hayrides run all day, giving everyone a choice and chance to ride. A Guided Family Forest Walk takes families on trails through the woods. The Permaculture Garden has meandering paths among raised beds of organic vegetables and is part of the Steps to Sustainability, as is Here Comes the Sun, a demonstration of solar panels by ReVision energy.

Volunteers from the NH Farm Museum and local craftsmen and orchardists demonstrate traditional rural skills.

The Moose Mountaineers will be back with their toe-tapping tunes on guitar and fiddle.

The festival takes place rain or shine.

Homemade salads, desserts, hot grilled food, and cold smoothies will be on sale along with T-shirts and raffle baskets of local fresh produce and other items. Rest rooms and most events are wheelchair accessible. No pets,

please. All events are included in the admission price. For more information and a program of events, visit www. mmrg.info/festival.

And Then There Were None The Barnstormers Theatre in Tamworth is proud to present the fourth show of their 88th summer season, on stage August 9 to 18. And Then There Were None is one of Agatha Christie’s most beloved and chilling plays.

“And Then There Were None is one of Agatha Christie’s greatest plays,” said Bob Shea, Artistic Director of The Barnstormers, and the director of this production. “It’s a true masterpiece of dramatic construction, with a growing sense of dread and tension that keeps the audience guessing until the very end.”

Ten strangers are summoned to a remote island, and all of them have in common both a wicked past they’re unwilling to reveal and a secret that will seal their fate. As the weather turns and the group is cut off from the mainland, the suspense becomes thick and a sinister plot to seek revenge is revealed. And Then There Were None will keep audiences on the edge of their seats until the very end!

“In writing the stage version of her most successful and darkest novel during the Second World War,” continued Bob Shea, “Agatha Christie

responded to the mood of the times by introducing a more positive ending, different from the novel. The play was a smash hit in the West End and on Broadway, and we are thrilled to be bringing the show to The Barnstormers stage.”

The all-star Barnstormers cast includes Dale Place, Bob Bates, Jean Mar Brown, Doug Shapiro, Madeleine Maby, Robert St. Laurence, Buddy Haardt, George F. Piehl, Jordan Reeves, Anne-Marie Cusson, and introduces first-time Barnstormer William R. Johnston.

For tickets, visit The Barnstormers at www.BarnstormersTheatre. org or call the box office, which is open Monday to Saturday from 10 am to 6 pm at 603-323-8500.

The Barnstormers Theatre, located in Tamworth Village, performs for two weeks per show, Thursday through Saturday evenings at 7:30 pm, with weekend matinees on Saturdays at 2 pm and some Sundays at 5 pm. The theatre features air-conditioning, comfortable seating, a state-of-the-art assisted hearing system, and wheelchair access.

Greater Ossipee Area Chamber of Commerce Tees Up for Annual Event If you like competitive golfing and want to get out on the course for a great cause, plan to compete in the Greater Ossipee Area Chamber of Commerce (GOACC) Annual Golf Tournament, which will take place on Wednesday, August 22 at Indian Mound Golf Club in Ossipee, NH. The day begins with a hot breakfast at 7 am, and then it is on to the competition, with an 8:30 am shot gun start!

The day will be filled with golfing fun and competition, including a $10K Cash Hole-in-One Prize; Golf Ball Cannon Shot Tee, 5 “Par 3” Closest to Pin, 50/50 Putting Green, Closets to Line, Ladies’ and Men’s Longest Drive, and Low Gross/first, second and third place net prizes.

As any golfer will tell you, it gets hot when playing the game, and so beverage stations and a gourmet hot dog stand will keep golfers cool…and

well fed. (There will be a luncheon as well.)

There will be many prizes and raffles and a really fun day for all who attend.

The golfing event benefits the GOACC Scholarship Fund, and is definitely a worthy cause. The proceeds of the GOACC’s annual golf tournament have enabled the Chamber to award well over $1000,000 in scholarships to local students pursuing further education. (Each year scholarship monies are presented by the GOACC to deserving students. The object is to offer financial assistance in the form of scholarships to area people who will be entering college in the fall of each year.

Eligible people must physically reside in the towns of Effingham, Freedom, Madison, Ossipee, Sandwich, or Tamworth and attend Kennett, Kingswood, Community School of Tamworth, Interlakes or enroll in an Adult Tutorial Program.)

Meet the Author of SCATHED A Book That Has Residents Locking Their Doors Annie’s Book Stop, located at 1330 Union Avenue in Laconia, is a bookstore dedicated to serving the Lakes Region since 1983. The shop will be the sight of a book-signing event on Saturday, August 18 from 10 am to noon with bestselling crime writer Sue Coletta, author of the muchbeloved Grafton County Series and award-winning Mayhem Series.

Just as Stephen King reimagined Bangor, Maine, Sue Coletta toys with Alexandria, Hebron, Bridgewater, Bristol, Groton, and local treasures such as Wellington State Park and Sculptured Rocks in SCATHED, the latest psychological thriller/mystery in the Grafton County Series, which was released on July 25, 2018 by Tirgearr Publishing. (Even WMUR’s ULocal plays a pivotal role in the story!)

Come meet Sue Coletta at Annie’s Book Stop and pick up a signed copy of SCATHED. All books in the Grafton County Series and Mayhem Series will be available.

“Sue Coletta doesn’t just write thrillers. She lives them. And she has the talent to draw readers inside the cruel, depraved world with her. She crawls inside the reader’s head and allows the reader to crawl inside her

Wanted: Super Sales Person

head and witness the mystery, feel the fear and suspense right along with her,” says Caleb Pirtle III, criticallyacclaimed screenwriter of Kenny Rogers’ Gambler V: Playing for Keeps.

“Coletta does a stupendous job of drawing the reader into the chilling mind of a serial killer. This book will stay with you long after it’s finished. A highly recommended read,” says New York Times bestselling author Jacquie Biggar.

Sue Coletta has always been fascinated by why people kill. What pushes someone to the edge of a dark abyss? Researching crime, forensics, psychology, and psychopathy is a passion she shares with fans on her award-winning crime blog, where she delves into the minds of serial killers, explains groundbreaking forensic techniques, and writes true crime stories. Sue prides herself on striking that magical balance between realism and fiction…so much so she even locked herself inside an oil drum in order to experience her character’s terror.

Recently, Robyn Masteller and Jami Bourdeau of Meredith Village Savings Bank (MVSB) visited the Wright Museum on Center Street in Wolfeboro to take a look at the recently planted Remembrance Garden.

In June, MVSB invested $750 in the garden, which faces outward to Center Street, to enable the museum to install a variety of plants and flowers to beautify the space.

“We are thrilled with the garden and very happy that this is a space in which the community is welcome to visit, sit and reflect,” said Masteller.

Commemorating those who served in the military, memorial bricks serve as backdrop for the garden.

“The garden is at once beautiful and poignant, as it enables people passing by to simply sit and relax while also providing a place for people to reflect

on those who have served,” said Wright Museum Executive Director Mike Culver. “This space is very important to our vision at the museum, and I am very thankful for the support of Meredith Village Savings Bank, which enabled us to complete the garden.”

Granite benches help enhance the scene, while Culver noted they will soon add a state, national and MIA flag in front of the garden.

For Bourdeau, the opportunity to participate in a community-focused project was one not to be missed by the bank. “We love projects like this that involve and invite the community in,” she said. “I am very happy at how this has turned out.”
