The Barnstormers Theatre presents Agatha Christie’s Toward Zero Summer isn’t summer at The Barnstormers Theatre without audience favorite mystery writer, Agatha Christie. This year’s production promises to be one of the best ever - Toward Zero lands on the stage Thursday, August 10 to Sunday, August 14, and Tuesday, August 16 through Saturday, August 19. “Agatha Christie marks the height of our summer season,” said Bob Shea, Artistic Director of The Barnstormers, and director of the project. “Our audiences love Christie’s mysteries - and for good reason. They are edgeof-the-seat suspenseful, funny, and a great showcase for exceptional talent. Toward Zero is no exception.” A house party at the seaside home of an elderly widow brings past events to a dramatic head. What is the connection between a failed suicide attempt, a wrongful accusation of theft against

4-H, Fairs and Family Fun By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper Fresh vegetables, tractors, sheep, cows, competition and food and music…it’s all at the Belknap County 4-H Fair. For years, the fair has offered a way for young people to show their farm animals in an encouraging setting and for farm families to network and for the public to have fun, listen to great music, get up close to all kinds of animals and displays of crafts and other projects. If that sounds like a good way to spend a summer’s day, make plans to attend the Belknap County 4-H Fair on Mile Hill Road in Belmont. The fair takes place on August 12 and 13 this year and for many people, it is
a tradition. The fair, like other such events in the state, showcases the animals and farm products of hard working farm families. Children, in particular, like to display their farm crops and show the work they have been doing with animals. This year a car show has been added to the event schedule (it takes place on Saturday). A tractor show takes place on Sunday. Three years ago, Earl Leighton, president of the Belknap County Fair Association, started bringing antique engines to the fair to demonstrate and display. He has an antique braiding machine made in 1934 that he operates as well. The Belknap County 4-H Fair began

Scenes from the Belknap County 4-H Fair. (Photos courtesy Earl as a way to encourage children to test their agricultural skills. The old-time fair started in 1943, at a time when making do was the norm. Many rural families were still feeling the pinch of the Great Depression years and were dealing with deprivation due to World War II. Before and during the Great Depression, farming was a necessity in order to put food on the table. And the effects of World War II had definitely taken a toll on people. All in all, people were weary from the years of making due and going without. Parents cautioned children to “waste not, want not”. These were the values of families on farms large and small. Country children, whether growing up on a farm or with a backyard garden, often had a cow, pig or other farm animal to care for as well. The 4-H Fair fit into country life, with its philosophy of families working together and showing courage in the face of financial hardships and war. It also gave those around the state a much-needed distraction from the war in Europe and elsewhere. In those days, most people had a garden and the produce was canned
and jams and jellies filled winter storage shelves. Milk might come from the family cow, along with bacon and other meats from a pig. Children were expected to do their part to benefit the good of the family by doing farm chores, helping in the garden and canning vegetables. While it was hard work, it was a positive part of life reinforced by 4-H programs; many kids loved and attended 4-H year round. If you lived in a village where going to the movies or hanging out at the corner soda fountain wasn’t an option, the 4-H was a club you could embrace. According to an article titled “Remembering 4-H Club” by Robert Hanaford Smith, Sr. in the Weirs Times, one local 4-H club was called the 4-H Hustler’s Boy’s Club (in New Hampton), and the boys met in member’s homes. It can be assumed that one of the activities of the club was competing in the 4-H Fair. Fair beginnings were modest; the Belknap County 4-H Fair started as a field day in 1943, where children could show dairy animals. This helped them • Fairs Continued on page 8

According to www.bc4hfair.org, Belknap County 4-H Fair History, the first 4-H Fair was held on Walker’s Lombardy Farm on Parade Road in Laconia. The late Lillian Walker led the event, and the event fulfilled her dream of a 4-H Fair. Lillian wanted the event to offer a fitting and showmanship program, which would help prepare youngsters to compete in larger fairs. She had the support of merchants, friends, and others who believed in the fair; the next step was the “4-H Food for Victory Fair” at Opechee Park in Laconia. The title of
August 7, 2017 the event reflected where the country was: Victory Gardens had become the norm and many people were tilling their land and planting big gardens in order to have food. For 4-H kids, nothing was more rewarding than exhibiting their work and competing for prizes. The event took place over the span of a few days and included a track and field meet, a three-legged race, a potato race, obstacle courses and novelty races. This was possible, because there was more room to spread out at Opechee Park. The days of fast food concession stands had yet to be a part of the fair, and a big picnic took place at the 1943 fair, followed by a dairy show. A 4-H leaders’ meeting also was held, along with a picnic supper, games and an old-
fashioned square dance. War Bonds and stamps for the World War II war effort were sold in many places, from Hollywood where movie stars urged average citizens to buy bonds, to small fairs and festivals; the 4-H Fair also sold bonds. In 1944, money was raised for the purchase of training aircraft for the Army Air Corps (two from Belknap County). Col. Harrison Thyng, the first NH war hero to return home, flew his Thunderbird to Laconia. He made a landing at the airport, representing the Armed Forces. Col. Thyng spent the day at the fair, and it can be assumed he was a hero to all the youngsters at that year’s 4-H event. A few years later, in 1946, the 4-H Fair was held at the Belknap Recreational Area (today’s Gunstock in Gilford). The program of 1946 outlined two full days of events: exhibit judging, a track meet, dairy and livestock showings, swimming and chair tow rides, a picnic, folk and square dancing, games, speakers and movies. With more space for parking and for exhibits and competitions, the yearly fair continued to grow in attendance. Leaders and members of 4-H set up club exhibits and prize money was a staggering $5 for first place! Other competition categories included clothing, canning, poultry and eggs,
turkeys and rabbits; those who entered had to be at least nine years of age in 1946. The 1947 fair had many of the same exhibits and events, but a special Quiz Show Program was added. In 1948, one could attend the Governor’s Luncheon, which was quite an important event for children at that time. The categories became more diversified in 1948, and included such divisions as making electrical equipment, forestry and maple products, health and safety, home management, beekeeping and crafts. The prize money in 1946 seems very small by today’s standards, but it was something substantial for young people to work towards in those days. Home Management first prize money was 50 cents and a prize ribbon; second place was 25 cents and third place received a ribbon. The fair moved to Opechee Park in 1950, where it was held until moving to the former Royal Smith Farm on Mile Hill Road, Belmont in 1977, where it is held today. Over the years the fair has kept pace with changing times, while still retaining the agricultural/farm focus that was its hallmark. In 1950 the fair was sponsored by the Laconia Council • Fairs Continued on page 9

For Gold Remembering the Women’s Land Cash Army The Wright Museum will host the 14th lecture in its Ron Goodgame and Donna Canney 2017 Educational Program Series on Tuesday, August 8 from 7 to 8 pm at the Wright Museum, 77 Center Street, Wolfeboro, NH. Doors open at 6 pm. The program will be The Women’s Land Army of America, a lecture by Linda Shenton Matchett. The World War II years presented the United States with the unique problem of balancing rival claims for labor across all industries: agricultural, manufacturing, and military. Utilizing women helped solve that issue, and Rosie the Riveter was only one of the many ways women “did their bit”. Modeled after the British Women’s Land Army, the Women’s Land Army of America (WLAA) operated during World War I with approximately 20,000
women. However, the organization came into its own during World War II. Recruiting over one million women, the WLAA ensured that food would be available for both the home front and the troops overseas, and the U.S. would not suffer the privation and scarcity experienced by other Allied countries. Hear first-person accounts of those who planted the fields, harvested the crops, and milked the cows to keep America fed. Linda Shenton Matchett, journalist and blogger of all things historical, is the author of Love’s Harvest, a fictionalization of the biblical book of Ruth set during World War II, and Love Found in Sherwood Forest. Her third book, On the Rails: A Harvey Girl Story is scheduled for release. A freelance writer for over 10 years, her articles and devotionals have

Competition components included a written test, tractor inspection, starting the engine, warm-up, driving and backing the vehicle up! Other 1950 fun events included a bicycle race for balance, pedaling and braking, signaling, mounting, turning around and emergency turn and stop. By 1978, the fair, held in Belmont, had exhibits and competitions for 4-H members in greater numbers. Children could compete in such categories as photography, electricity, entomology, safety and health, science and gardening, along with the standard dairy and animal exhibits.

Newcomers bringing unique sound to Cate Park While the band is new to performing at the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand, at least a couple of the faces in the band may be familiar ones to local music fans. Clyde Bisbee and the Wheelhouse Revelers will be making their bandstand debut on August 12 as part of the Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand’s Saturday night summer concert series in Cate Park. Clyde Bisbee and the Wheelhouse Revelers will bring the pop music from between the two great wars and then some to the bandstand. The show will feature swing jazz, western swing and jump blues from the 1920s through the 1950s, including songs from legends such as Louis Armstrong, Bob Wills, Fats Waller, Milton Brown and his Musical Brownies and much more. Clyde Bisbee (it’s a stage name!) will bring with him a band of five, including a couple of familiar faces around Wolfeboro. Bisbee grew up listening to every disc he could get his hands on and when given a guitar by a family friend, his whole life changed. While he worked on electronic machinery he was able to keep music close by, singing and playing in his shop when business was slow. Word has it he was discovered by a jazz player visiting town and with some encouragement, made a run for the bright lights and put together a band that brings plenty of energy to the stage. John Doherty is the band’s bass player and a true-blue jazz lover, fueling that love by lending his talents
to a number of big bands over the years. He provides backbones to the rhythms the band pumps out. Sonja Florman plays keyboards for the band and is also happy to kick in a Kentucky bluegrass wail whenever a bass thumps. Mickey Chatigny is the drummer for the band and a familiar face to many in Wolfeboro as the drummer for numerous local bands, including the Moose Mountain Jazz Band, which played on the bandstand just a few short weeks ago. In addition to having a great feel for what it means to be a real jazz drummer, he’s a proficient singer of harmonic melody. When it comes time to put the metal to the pedal, Jason Lumbruno won’t string you along. When slide meets strings, the haunting melody lines that result are lovely enough to drown out the Sirens of Sirenum Scopuli. Other members of the band include Ray Himmer and John Petruzzelli, who is also a familiar face in Wolfeboro, having graduated from Kingswood. The Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand are always excited to bring new acts to the stage and Clyde Bisbee and the Wheelhouse Revelers are the third new act to grace the bandstand this summer. The concerts start at 7 pm each Saturday night in July and August and run until 9 pm, with a short intermission. While the concerts are free of charge, a pass the bucket offering is taken at intermission to help support the Friends of the Wolfeboro
Community Bandstand and the free summer concert series. In the event of bad weather, the concert will be cancelled, a sign will be posted at the entrance to the

Lakes Region and Pemigewasset Valley Stories featuring Daniel Heyduk The Lake Winnipesaukee Museum in Weirs Beach is hosting a presentation, “Lakes Region and Pemigewasset Valley Stories” featuring Daniel Heyduk on Wednesday, August 9 at 7 pm. Daniel Heyduk’s presentation, “Lakes Region and Pemigewasset Valley Stories,” is drawn from his recent book, Stories in the History of New Hampshire’s Lakes Region and Pemigewasset Valley. Using illustrations from the book, he will tell stories about Indian battles; the hard work, successes and tragedies of the early settlers; country doctors; one-room schools; some
notable residents; lakes and steamboats; the horse-drawn era; summer camps; a gold mine; and the 1938 Hurricane. Dan wrote the “Passing Time” history column in The Meredith News and the book Meredith Chronicles. He discovered these stories during many years of researching the area’s history. This event is free for all Lake Winnipesaukee Historical Society members; for non-members there is a $5 fee. The museum is located on Route 3 in Weirs Beach, next to Funspot. Please RSVP to 366-5950, or email info@lwhs.us.

Lakes Region Conservation Trust Kicks Off 2017 Guided Excursion Program The Lakes Region Conservation Trust (LRCT) will be offering many guided excursions this season, including a variety of hikes and paddles as well as volunteer workdays and land conservation celebrations. Please visit www.lrct.org to view the upcoming events calendar for more information about these events.
The Trust kicked off its guided excursions with a guided paddle on Newfound Lake in partnership with NH Audubon and the Newfound Lake Region Association. This paddling excursion provided participants with the opportunity to view conserved lands by water and to explore dramatic aquatic landscapes first-hand. They learned about the natural history of the beautiful area and the recent conservation efforts of all three organizations. A scenic guided paddle on Lake Wicwas in Meredith will take place on August 12 and is offered in partnership with the Lake Wicwas Association. Participants will
tour the eastern shore and center of the lake, viewing a number of properties conserved by LRCT and other organizations. Guides and participants will meet at 8:30 am to unload and prepare for the paddle; the paddle will begin at 9 am and is expected to return by 11 am. Participation is limited and registration is required. Please contact trip leader, Scott Powell, at lakewicwas@aol.com or call 603-279-7449 to register and for information if you have any questions about the trip.
The Lakes Region Conservation Trust was founded in 1979 to conserve the natural heritage of New Hampshire’s Lakes Region. To date, LRCT has conserved more than 145 properties totaling over 25,000 acres. LRCT’s conservation and stewardship work preserves community character, conserves critical wildlife habitat and diverse ecosystems, protects natural landmarks and scenic landscapes, and provides outdoor recreation opportunities for people of all ages.

Wolfeboro Agriculture Commission Sponsors “Forgotten Farms” Documentary On Friday, August 11 at 7 pm, the Wolfeboro Agriculture Commission invites the public to a free screening of the documentary Forgotten Farms at the Village Players Theatre on Glendon Street in Wolfeboro. Following the movie there will be a question-andanswer session with the filmmakers. Forgotten Farms examines class divides in farm and food communities. Most people buy their food in supermarkets and don’t have a chance to meet their farmer, as the bumper sticker recommends. But in more affluent communities, farm-to-table restaurants, farmer›s markets and
CSAs are booming and new farmers are celebrated. There is another farmer who is left out of the local food celebration. New England has lost over 10,000 dairy farms in the past 50 years; fewer than 2,000 farms remain. Collectively, they tend 1.2 million acres of farmland and produce almost all of the milk consumed in New England. In the enthusiasm for the new food movement, often overlooked are the farmers at the foundation of the regional agricultural economy. Only 100 years ago, New England produced most of its own food on 16 million acres of farmland.
Climate change will demand that more food is grown closer to where we live. As we strive to revive local production, there is much to learn from dairy farmers who have been managing most of the farmland and sustaining the farm economy all along. Through conversations with farmers and policy experts, the film reconsiders the role of these vital but forgotten farmers. Forgotten Farms gives a glimpse into the past and a vision for a future regional food system. The documentary shows the cultural divide between the new food movement and traditional farming, highlighting the need to
examine differences, develop mutual understanding, and find common ground. A truly sustainable local food system that benefits everyone will rely on all of our local farmers. This screening is generously cosponsored with local support from Carroll County NH Farm Bureau, DeVylder Farm, No-View Farm, Top of the Hill Farm, Bree Schuette, Bearfoot Gardens, Bly Farm, Alicia’s Bed & Breakfast of Wolfeboro, Kingswood Press and Yellow Dog & Company Communications & Design.

Molly’s on the Loose By Christie Diamond “I’m bored” or “There’s nothing to do!” just won’t cut it when vacationing in the oldest summer resort on a rainy day in the summertime. Rain or shine there’s always Molly. Molly the Trolley can be picked up at the town docks or the railroad station in downtown Wolfeboro. While on board, one of the knowledgeable drivers will weave a narrative web of “places to see and things to do” mixed with historical facts unique to the quaint New England town. For example, did you know that the name “Kingswood” actually means the king’s wood? Any tall white pine trees marked with an “X” were declared to belong to the king for use in building his ships in Portsmouth, NH. Further, Mast Landing is the boat launch situated between Crescent Lake and Lake Wentworth. Mast Landing is named for the masts that were built from

ALL DAY!
the white pine trees lining Crescent Lake. When you ride on the trolley, you’ll discover that Carry Beach is aptly named for the fact that the Abenaki Indians used to stop there to save time and “carry” their canoes over Wolfeboro Neck before continuing to paddle on the big lake. Did you further know that the Avery Insurance Agency on Main Street is located in the oldest building in Wolfeboro, and it used to serve as the town’s post office? You’ll discover that the current Town Hall was originally purchased by the town of Wolfeboro from Brewster Academy for a single dollar. Many years and a few million dollars later, we have the beautifully renovated and historically accurate Town Hall of Wolfeboro. As Molly continues down Main Street, one can’t help but notice the extensive work being done at the Pickering House. Current owners

are working hard to transform the previously dilapidated building into an historical masterpiece, which will be enjoyed by residents and visitors alike. If you’re interested in more historical facts and interesting trivia about Wolfeboro, I highly recommend a trip on Molly. You’ll learn which business is the oldest one in town, which legend has it has been here “forever”, and you’ll discover the significance behind the name “Lake Wentworth.” Molly, the turn-of-the-century old style red trolley, completes a circle through Wolfeboro in about 45 minutes. Stepping onto Molly is like taking a step back in time. Her wooden seats offer a welcome place to sit. Molly’s windows were up on this particular day as it was rainy
and wet outside. But inside, the dreary day didn’t damper Molly’s enthusiasm. Her musical triangle hangs on the roof of the cab jiggling merrily, serving to brighten the dreariest of summer days as she drives over bumps and maneuvers around turns in the road. Her enthusiasm is contagious as young and old alike ride along peering through windows to view what looms around the next bend. I recommend riding at the beginning of one’s vacation or the start of one’s day as potential activities and area “must sees” are highlighted throughout the trip. For example, 1 o’clock on Tuesdays is a great time to dine on seafood while en• Molly Continued on page 22

Saturday summer evenings where the audience is treated to free concerts in the park. Wednesday evenings feature the local community band. Saturday evenings feature a different band each week, representing a variety of musical genres. Come early and grab a seat on the deck at the Downtown Grill which has been known to stay open late so patrons can soothe their senses in the Norman Rockwell inspired setting as boats come and go from the docks and kids lick their favorite Bubble ice cream flavors while playing in the grass among the audience. The scene is all somehow perfectly choreographed to the live music. Don’t miss out on the Farmers’ Market from 12:30 to 4 pm on Thursdays in Clark Park. This is your chance to get local produce and indulge in some yummy and fresh lunch offerings. Molly will also point out the best places to find finely crafted treasures created by local artists. Interested in other tours? Molly rides by the town docks where lake tours are offered daily. The most popular and well-known tour is on board the Mount Washington. Other options are available on the Winnipesaukee Bell and the Millie B. The latter provides an opportunity to view lake estates and boathouses on a 1928-style wooden
boat. The former is a replica of a 19th-century paddleboat complete with two decks and offers 90 minute scenic cruises as well as “Thirsty Thursdays” and “Local Brew Cruises.” Another fun fact I learned while riding Molly is that Winnipesaukee boasts 173 islands! Want to know more about some of our more famous residents and vacationers? Sewell Road has and continues to serve as a picturesque vacation spot for numerous celebrities. One of Molly’s drivers can boast of a kiss on the cheek from Drew Barrymore, good friend to Nancy Juvonen. Jimmy Fallon proposed to Nancy Juvonen while on the dock at her parents’ camp on Lake Winnipesaukee. The couple was married and named their first child Winni. Molly the Trolley knows of many more past and present celebrity citings and happenings in town and will share her secrets with you on the tour. Who knew Wolfeboro has so much to offer? Molly did! And she packs a lot more into her 45-minute tour than I can fit into a single article. So, whether vacationing here for a weekend or living here year round, don’t miss your chance to catch up with Molly.

Peter Ferber Gallery Show at The Art Place The Art Place in downtown Wolfeboro will hold its semi-annual Peter Ferber Gallery Show featuring new original paintings by local, wellknown artist Peter Ferber on Saturday, August 12. The unveiling and artist’s reception will commence at 9:30 am. All are welcome to attend and meet the artist. The Art Place has been carrying Peter Ferber’s artwork in the gallery over two decades. The summer gallery show, featuring new paintings by Peter, became so popular that a winter show was created in 2006. It amazes Barbara Gibbs, owner of The Art Place, how people line up outside the door of a gallery show for Peter awaiting the reveal of the artwork. She states, “It’s about the art, but it’s also about Peter and how he is able to capture a sense of time and place with his paintings. People relate to his creations and feel that they have been ‘there’ or want to be ‘there.’ She continues, “One of my favorite earlier paintings that is now a print is called ‘Any Given Day.’ Most of Peter’s paintings are about this type of subject matter. On any given day you may see various elements in a ‘Peter Ferber’ painting that pulls at you to stop and take notice—an egret along the shore, a set of footprints leading into the water, or three rockers on a porch. These components of the painting, along with their subject matter and through his mastery of technique, touch upon my memory and give way
Bygone Rockers, original painting by Peter Ferber. (Courtesy photo)
to allowing me to be pulled into the picture. Peter captures this moment in time that tells a story and makes the viewer feel a warm, nostalgic, familiarity to the subject matter.” When asked about his point of view, Peter states, ”One of reasons this area endears itself to so many is it’s timelessness. Undeniably, there are always plenty of changes, but we still find things here that have remained the same for decades, often for a lifetime. With so much change going on around us, it is understandable why we are drawn to what has not changed. It provides a stability–a sense of peace–that is so welcome. I think I can say that this is what underlies most, if not all, of
Moultonborough Neck
my paintings. The profile of familiar mountains, the play of light on the water and into the sandy shallows of a beach has been here for eons. The porches and rockers and canoes introduced into these scenes have a history going back hundreds of years, perhaps—certainly a part of our lives from the beginning. “This is where I reach back for images that inspire me. This show is particularly full of beach scenes, with one on Little Whortleberry, that I have depicted before, showing up in three pieces–although you wouldn’t realize it was the same place because of the different viewpoints they have,” he says. “Loons are also finding their way back into a couple of paintings,
after many years of avoiding them– fearing they were becoming a cliché. Boathouses, a barn and some wooden boats are also featured–elements of the New Hampshire landscape that make us feel at home here. And I think this also points to the significance of the presence of these timeless things, and the importance of going to the trouble and extra effort to preserve them and make sure they don’t gradually or suddenly disappear. I hope the show will evoke feelings of warmth in the familiar, expressed in fresh ways that will bring a smile to the soul.” Since 1994, Peter Ferber has painted the official posters for the New England Chapter of the Antique and Classic Boat Society’s annual show, which also comes as highly collectable artist proofs. Peter has exhibited in over 50 shows in New England and the Midwest. More than 100 reproductions of his work have been made, including over 70 limited edition prints. A recent rebroadcast on WMUR’s New Hampshire Chronicle, featuring Peter Ferber, has given even more awareness to Peter’s artwork. Peter Ferber’s Gallery Show at The Art Place will be on display through August 26 or as long as paintings are available. The Art Place is the exclusive gallery for Peter Ferber’s original artwork, and produces most of his limited edition prints. The Art Place is located at 9 North Main Street, downtown Wolfeboro, NH and is open year round. For more information, please call 603-569-6159, or toll free

Wonderful Lakes Region Water Ski Clubs! By Barbara Neville Wilson Photo courtesy Lake Winnipesaukee Museum The Facebook post is intriguing: “Abenaki Water Ski Club is hosting a Junior Development clinic…in Back Bay, Wolfeboro, NH from 9 am until dusk. AWSC has some awesome coaches, Chip Jones for jump, Marianna and Richard Abelson for slalom and tricks.” I wonder if many people realize the depth of the Winnipesaukee water ski tradition that lives on in Back Bay in Wolfeboro. Juniors training at that July workshop can measure their progress against Winnipesaukee water skiers who have broken world records over six decades. I first started learning about the region’s water ski traditions when I stumbled upon the Winnipesaukee Water Ski-athon last summer. (“You Can Ski for Miles & Miles,” in The Laker, 7/20/16) Once a summer-long race series on Winnipesaukee and Winnisquam put on jointly by the Weirs Ski Club and Winnisquam Boat & Ski Club, it has been revived in recent years as a one-off in July launched from the Winnipesaukee Yacht Club. In the early morning, when the water is calm, intrepid water skiers race from the Yacht Club in Gilford, cross Winnipesaukee, run around Parker Island, turn at Tuftonboro Neck Bay, and return to the Yacht Club for a total run of about 15 miles. It’s a race that pays homage to a
The Weirs Ski Club was pivotal to the development of water skiing as the fastest growing recreational sport in the United States in the 1950s, hosting the Nationals on Lake Opechee in 1954 and 1959. long-distance race series put on in the 1960s and ‘70s. Over the course of five weekends, skiers would race across Winnipesaukee on Saturday and Winnisquam on Sunday. The first three races were 32 miles, the fourth was 50, and the final was a 65-mile marathon. Winning skiers are said to have hit sustained speeds of 65 mph, a speed that required incredible skill from skier, boat driver and crew. I’m a little embarrassed to admit, though, that before I attended the Skiathon last year, my image of any water ski competition was, well, Disney-esque. “What could be more carefree than a bunch of people getting together, deciding to do a really long water ski race - or slalom course, or ski-jumping or tricks event, checking the weather - it’s always sunny, of course - and heading out? They have a great time and end with a big breakfast and a song about the rousing time they had” I imagined.

How wrong I was. Since then I have learned that any water ski competition takes diligent preparation from organizers, racers and boat crews alike because safety is always the top priority. Even with all that, stray wakes or equipment glitches can cause unexpected challenges mid-race. The same people who prepared so well are forced to respond and act at a moment’s notice. It’s something Lakes Region water ski clubs did well decades ago and still do today. According to the U.S. Waterski Association, the first American water skis were produced in Michigan in 1922, and the sport was first showcased to a national audience at the Chicago World’s Fair in 1932. Lisa Berge, a lifelong summer resident of the Lakes Region, tells us her father, Robert J. Hughes, was the first water skier on Winnipesaukee in 1939. After seeing waterskiing from the New York World’s Fair on an early television, she says, he and his father handcrafted a set, painted them red and started skiing from the shores of Moultonboro. (See “Who Skied First?” in the Summer 2017 issue of The Laker’s Boating magazine.) Not long after that, veteran skiers made their way up from Florida and started touring around the lake, sell-
ing skis door-to-door. Bruce Parker, the nation’s first National Water Ski champion in 1939, set up a school in Wolfeboro sometime after 1945, and Larry Brown and Bill Trudgeon started another at the Weirs. In 1953, Julie Morris wrote a story for New Hampshire Profiles magazine about the Weirs Ski Club that grew out of the school. By then, it was in full swing, offering lessons, putting on shows at Weirs Bay, Alton Bay, and Meredith, and developing teams of national caliber. It attracted champion skiers from Lake George in New York, as well as the Florida crew, many of whom performed at Cypress Gardens during the northern off-season. Some of their protegees went on to national and international fame, while others who lived in New Hampshire yearround simply switched water skis for snow skis in the winter. Morris told the story of club member Colleen Gallant who advanced from Miss New Hampshire to the Miss America contest in 1951. Choosing water skiing as her talent, she wowed the judges by showing her skill via color video filmed on Lake Winnipesaukee. Apparently, she made a favorable impression, for she and three other New Hampshire skiers, Terry Miller, Pat Whitney and Linda Fritz, later made their mark on the film industry with water ski exhibitions filmed at Cypress Gardens. People who spend time water skiing in the Lakes Region are often lifelong lovers of the sport. Names seen in Morris’ New Hampshire Profiles article in 1953 can be seen in the record books for the 1954 Water Ski National Championship held at Lake Opechee in Laconia (and again in 1959). Dick Binette is heralded for his world record 100+ foot jump in 1954, and lauded •Water Ski Continued on page 29

August 7, 2017 •Water Ski Continued from page 28 as a champion of the sport in the USA Water Ski Foundation Hall of Fame decades later. If you visit the Lake Winnipesaukee Museum or read local history books and blogs, you’ll see the Weirs Ski Club had a strong presence until the 1970s Oil Crisis and the advent of an increasingly litigious society. The Winnipesaukee Ski-athon withered when the price of fuel rose so much that many skiers found travel to the Lakes Region prohibitively expensive; and many who still came abandoned their ski boats for less fuel-hungry vessels. As insurance companies raised rates—and even cancelled policies—in response to increased and costly lawsuits, activities like water skiing simply became too expensive for many people and groups to pursue. After the Oil Crisis passed, some of the Wolfeboro-area water skiers from the mid-century glory days decided it was time to set courses on Winnipesaukee again. By then, though, the amount and speed of boat traffic on the lake did not make an open watercourse feasible. Spying Back Bay, they started thinking creatively. The Bay, once home to factories and sawmills that used its waters to power their works and warehouse their inventory, was now a backwater, unused and polluted. Seeing possibility amidst the pollution, the skiers measured and played with figures. Their efforts to reclaim Back Bay faced an immediate and obvious challenge, however. In the aftermath of the Hurricane of 1938, the Bay was used as a watery holding pond for excess logs. Sixty years later, the water was still filled with logs, some haphazardly submerged, others sticking straight out. To make a water ski course on the Bay would require tremendous effort and patience. Led by the efforts of Bill Swaffield (nephew to Jim Wales who opened that first water ski school at
Northeast Marina) and long-time resident Chip Maxfield, the ski club sought permissions, obtained insurance and proceeded to clean the debris-laden Back Bay. Using divers, boats, and cranes, they eventually pulled 150 or more logs from the waters, and by 1981, they could set courses for three events: slalom, jumps, and tricks. For 36 years now, the Abenaki Water Ski Club has put on tournaments and ski shows, hosting three or more tournaments each year. The course is the only one in the state capable of running slalom, jumps and tricks, and so it hosts the New Hampshire state and often the North East regional tournaments each year. It is also one of just a handful of courses in the nation where spectators can easily see the whole course. The walking path running on the trail of the old Boston & Maine railway affords full views and plenty of room to spread a blanket or set a lawn chair. Perhaps what makes the Club even more proud than its prime course, however, is its training programs. The one that piqued my interest on Facebook some weeks ago is only one opportunity offered. “We have lots of little kids coming up,” says Bill Swaffield. Abenaki is the largest water ski club in the state, with 45 to 75 members involved each year. The club’s education and development programs have produced rewarding results. In a recent interview, Chip Maxfield pointed to the success of Jamie Beachesne of Canterbury, who became “the number-one water skier in the world,” he said. Truly, Winnipesaukee’s water ski tradition runs deep. The New Hampshire State Water Ski Championship was held just a few days ago on Wolfeboro’s Back Bay on August 5, and the New England Slalom Championship is scheduled for September 9. For more information about Abenaki Ski Club, contact Bill Swaffield at william.swaffield@gmail.

Summertime Fun in Belmont on August 12 Belmont Old Home Day is coming, and there will be some exciting entertainment scheduled. With the theme of “Summertime Fun”, it is a fantastic time to organize family reunions and show your creativity by entering a float in the parade. Saturday, August 12, will feature the live music of the Tyler Road Band on the bandstand mid-day and the B Street Bombers at Bryant Field before the fireworks. The First Baptist Church will host a delicious Pancake Breakfast starting at 7:30 am under the Tioga Pavilion on Mill St. This will be the 49th running of the Belmont 10-Mile Road Race. If getting in a quick walk, jog or run around town is more appealing, then have the family lace up their sneakers for the Tioga Fun Run, which is referred to as a “country mile” in length. Registrations for both races will be available at 7:30 am in the parking lot of the Belmont Middle School on School Street, with the larger race starting at 8:30 am and the Fun Run shortly thereafter. It’s a great way to start your day! As with any of the day’s activities, more information and registration forms can be found at www.belmontnh.

Local Wildlife Up Close at Squam Lakes Natural Science Center By Sarah Wright One of my favorite places to take my kids is the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center in Holderness, NH. It’s a walking trail and animal sanctuary rolled into one! Have you ever wondered what animals lurk in the woods of New Hampshire? To find out, walk the Gephart Exhibit trail at the Science Center in Holderness, where you can see native animals of the state up close. The three-quarter-mile trail is an easy trek through the woods, with intriguing exhibits along the way. All of the animals on display were either injured or orphaned,
and have been rehabilitated. You’ll learn about habitats, adaptation, interrelationships, and population as you walk along the trail. The trail starts just beyond the welcome center. The first exhibit is the Trailhead Gallery, and it includes a feature about wood energy and explains how two wood boilers are able to provide heat for all five buildings on the 230-acre campus. The same building also houses white-footed mice and two barred owls. Next is one of the most popular areas for kids, the Life Underground exhibit, where visitors can learn about worms and ants,

and watch the wild chipmunks feed. Kids can pretend to be chipmunks underground and go down the burrow slide. The Water Exhibit is a recent addition to the center. Here, kids can learn about water through 18 water-related features, including live mink, turtles, fish, and frogs.
My younger son loved the next exhibit with the coyote. The male coyote featured in the exhibit had been used in educational programs for years. When the center acquired an orphaned female pup a few years • Squam Lakes Continued on page 35

ago, it was decided that she would be trained for the program and that the male coyote could enjoy “retirement” in his own habitat. The Ecotone Mammal area is next with red foxes, a striped skunk (who takes turns with a gray fox in the enclosure), bob cats, mountain lions, and a boardwalk that crosses over the white-tailed deer exhibit. This is my favorite part, because you have a great view looking down at all the deer as they cross under you. If you’d like to see more of the mountain lions, there’s a training session in their enclosure every Thursday at noon (included in the admission price). The naturalists at the center prefer not to tranquilize animals for veterinary care, so they train the mountain lions to roll on their backs and present their shoulders for inoculations. Then they’re given a treat. (If you ask me, any veterinarian who will give a shot to a fully-awake mountain lion deserves an award for bravery!) At this point on the trail, visitors can choose to take a slight detour for Kirkwood Gardens. A beautiful garden which showcases natural landscaping, it’s a great place to relax for a while. There’s always something blooming and it’s a haven for bumblebees and butterflies alike. Feel free to enjoy a picnic lunch here or purchase a snack at the Kirkwood Café. When you’re done with your rest, continue back onto the main trail to the otter exhibit. The river otters are very playful, and this playfulness really comes out during feeding times, featured at 11:30 am on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays for the
throughout each day. Visitors can learn fascinating facts about animals not on the trail, like beavers, minks, porcupines, or peregrine falcons. On Wednesdays at 1 pm, there is a coyote demonstration, and there are Turtle Talks on Tuesdays at 10:30 am. If you’d like to venture out onto beautiful Squam Lake, the center separately runs 90-minute ecology cruises. Explore the history of Squam Lake on a covered, pontoon boat and learn about the animals that make Squam Lake home. In June, go on a Bald Eagle Adventure Cruise and view an active nest; or take a Loon Cruise from June
public. Families with young children will appreciate the Gordon Children’s Center, with its big rope spider web and groundhog tunnels under the floor. There are lots of learning opportunities for kids (as well as adults) here, too. The recent addition of an outdoor playground was a great idea! Children can learn about the predator/prey relationship, while traversing various obstacles. My kids spent a lot of time climbing and exploring in this area. When playtime is over, visit the black bears. I really enjoy this exhibit. Climb up the stairs in the educational cabin to see the bears from a higher vantage point. Even if they are taking a nap, you can always get a good view of the animals in the exhibits. Bird lovers will enjoy the next exhibits which feature delicate songbirds and then amazing raptors, like hawks and eagles. After the pleasant Wetlands Walk, you’ll reach the end of the trail and the final exhibit. Visitors can learn about the land under our feet in this New Hampshire geology exhibit. Children will enjoy climbing on the large boulders. At this point, you can either visit the gift shop or choose to explore one of three hiking trails: The Forest Trail, The Ecotone Trail (which skirts the woods and a large field), and the Mount Fayal Trail, a one-mile loop to the top of Mt. Fayal. The center and animal exhibit trail are open from May 1 through November 1 from 9:30 am to 5 pm (although there are snowshoe tours in the wintertime). For the summer season, in July and August, naturalists on staff give animal demonstrations at various times

through August. Both cruises will have a biologist on board to talk about the birds and answer questions. Romantics might enjoy the Dinner and Sunset Cruise, a joint venture with Walter’s Basin Restaurant. My kids loved the Lake Explorers Family Cruise, with a scavenger hunt and a naturalist on board who shows kids how to collect microscopic life.

Bacon Brothers and Boston Comedy Coming to Flying Monkey The Flying Monkey Performance Center presents a night of comedy featuring Lenny Clarke, Jimmy Dunn and Kelly MacFarland on Friday, August 11 at 7:30 pm. While New Hampshire hasn’t always been a destination for the yuk-yuk biz, the Boston area stand-up scene has always thrived. Why not bring Beantown’s funny ambassadors North? A New York City reviewer once described veteran Boston standup comedian Lenny Clarke as “an oddly calibrated act.” His material and perspective is very much in an old-school Don Rickles vein, but his attitude is very much that of a quickwitted young comic. This contrast comes wrapped in a conversational, deceptively genial delivery, with just brief moments of clowning. Clarke is also unpredictable in a very good way on stage — you don’t know where he’s going to go next. It’s never the same show twice. He’s a unique and funny performer … truly worth catching. The Hampton area’s favorite resident comedian, Jimmy Dunn, is also on the bill. Jimmy is an actor and standup comedian from Boston, who costarred on the CBS hit comedy “The McCarthys” as Sean McCarthy. Jimmy got his start in the comedy world telling jokes at a bar in Gloucester, Massachusetts, where he was paid in beer and fried clams. (Not a bad gig!) Since then, Jimmy has gone on to perform at some of the comedy industry’s most prestigious events, including Denis Leary’s Comics Come Home, Montreal’s International Just For Laughs Comedy Festival, and the Late Show with David Letterman. Rising star Kelly MacFarland will round out the bill. Kelly headlined the 2009 Boston Women in Comedy Festival, was first runner up in the 2009 Boston Comedy Festival and voted Best of the Fest 2010 Aspen
The Bacon Brothers will rock the Flying Monkey on August 25. (Courtesy photo) Rooftop Comedy Festival. Kelly has also appeared on Stand Up in Stilettos on the TV Guide Channel and Comedy Central’s Premium Blend. Plan to be back at The Flying Monkey Performance Center for The Bacon Brothers on Friday, August 25 at 7:30 pm. Farwell Angelina opens the night. Long before Kevin Bacon launched his prolific stage and screen career, and
before Michael Bacon became known as a go-to composer for film and television, they were just two brothers, born nine years apart, coming of age in Center City, Philadelphia. By the late 1960s, Michael, already a professional musician, would gig with his band at the city’s famed Electric Factory with a young Kevin tagging along when he could. It’s a time preserved in the cover art
for The Bacon Brothers’ 2008 release, New Year’s Day, with a preteen Kevin singing alongside a mandolinstrumming Michael. The record, laden with the brothers’ trademark gritty rock and a touch of Philly soul, hearkens back to those roots in the City of Brotherly Love, when life was less complicated and music filled the air. “My earliest memory of music was what my brother was playing or the music he brought home,” Kevin Bacon recalls. “I would sit on the steps of our basement while he was downstairs practicing with our sister, Hilda, and their band. So my heroes growing up were all rock ’n rollers. I wasn’t really into sports, or even movies. If I could save money, I’d buy an album.” After 20 years, their band is clearly not just something the younger does for a vacation from acting. According to Kevin, he’s simply twice blessed for doing two things he loves. “People think that at this point I must be so sick of acting, but nothing could be further from the truth,” the “Footloose” star says. “I still get a tremendous charge from it and hopefully I am getting better and better at it, and keep exploring new worlds.” Surprisingly, it is Michael, who is based in New York City, who admits touring makes for a nice change of scene. “It’s a very different kind of life,” he says. “In New York, I’m always so busy all the time with movie and TV scoring, and teaching, and composing.” Some might think this is their chance to get six degrees from Kevin Bacon. But don’t let Kevin’s roots in Hollywood fool you. Expect finely crafted and sharply executed rock ’n roll with a blue-collar, rootsy edge.

The Art of Photography Retold to Feature Nan Scull The League of NH Craftsmen - Meredith Fine Craft Gallery is hosting the third in a four-part special lecture series titled The Art of Photography Retold. The series is intended as an educational opportunity to enhance your knowledge of traditional photography, and to meet a diverse group of photographers who use the wet darkroom in their unique ways. Make plans to take a journey into the art behind photography - from the camera used to getting into “the zone”. The third lecture takes place on Monday, August 21, from 6:30 to 7:30 pm and will feature photographer, Nan Scull, who will take you through a day in the life of a film photographer, starting with the mindset of the photographer, which can be channeled like that of
a Yogic Experience. Nan will walk you through the process of creating an image, step by step, and will discuss the zone system and how it influences the journey to achieve the final results of the photographic image. All lectures in the series are free and open to the public, and will be held at the Meredith Community Center, 1 Circle Drive in Meredith, NH. The final lecture features Bonnie Edwards on September 11. To inquire about the lectures, call 603-279-7920 or stop by the gallery at 279 Daniel Webster Highway, Meredith, NH.

World Traveler, Author, Artist…and Lakes Region Summer Resident Helen Nicolay By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper Photos courtesy Ann Marie Maguire A number of years ago, I was browsing a local art gallery and saw a display featuring the work of Helen Nicolay. I was drawn to the delicate watercolors depicting area scenes and I admired the skill the artist had with watercolor paint, a fluid medium some artists find difficult to conquer. The gallery owner saw me intently studying the watercolor scenes and came over to answer any questions I might have. My biggest question was, “Who was Helen Nicolay?” Turns out, it was a loaded question,
with answers I could only begin to comprehend. I recall the gallery owner mentioning that Helen was a summer resident of the Squam Lake area; she was a painter; she was an author and there was something mentioned about a connection to President Abraham Lincoln. At the time, I was interested, but honestly, the gallery was large and there was a lot to see. I thought Helen sounded like an interesting lady, but with many more paintings to view, I moved on. These days, people smile when they say Helen’s name and nod in wonder at her beautiful artwork. Her connec-

tion to the Squam Lake area, where her father built a summer home, runs deep and locals know her name and her watercolor landscapes. This summer, I decided I could not put off getting to know Helen any longer. I keep reading about a celebration in Holderness with events related to Helen Nicolay. “Okay, Helen,” I said to myself in early summer, “I think it’s time we got better acquainted.” I also could imagine Helen nodding, rolling up the sleeves of her cotton shirtwaist blouse and getting down to business in her ladylike, yet determined way.
Historically speaking, Helen left quite a mark on the world, but few are aware of it. She was born in Paris, when her father, John G. Nicolay, was American Consul. The year was 1866, but by 1869, according to www.acpl. lib.in.us/LincolnCollection/shared/ docs/Nicolay Collection, the family had returned to the United States. As Helen grew, she was educated at home by her learned father, among others. (This was common educational practice for young ladies at that time.) Born shortly after Lincoln was assas• Nicolay Continued on page 41

August 7, 2017 • Nicolay Continued from page 40 sinated, Helen grew up hearing stories of the president. Helen’s father was secretary to Lincoln and served him for many years. After Lincoln’s death, Mr. Nicolay, with the permission of Robert Todd Lincoln, began an exhaustive biography of the president’s life titled Abraham Lincoln, a History. The work was very detailed and well respected. Helen grew up surrounded by writers and academic experts, politicians, and artists. Mr. Nicolay was a quiet person, and worked diligently and effectively behind the scenes. As Marshal of the Supreme Court from 1872 to 1887, he had the time and access to the nearby Library of Congress. This access proved very helpful when working on his biography of Lincoln. To understand Helen and all she contributed to the world and also to her summer home community, one need only read a recently completed biography by Ann Marie Maguire and John Maguire, titled Lincoln’s Secretary’s Secretary: Helen Nicolay, Artist and Author. (The project was extensive, and Ann Marie credits a lot of the research to John, as well as part of the writing. He also edited the entire volume.) When she was a young girl, Ann Marie knew Helen Nicolay and well recalls the famous woman. “My grandmother was friends with Helen,” Ann Marie relates. Helen Nicolay is someone Ann Marie remembers as an interesting person who spent summers in Holderness. Ann Marie explains how the Nicolay family came to the Squam Lake area. “One summer, when as her father said, ‘Washington was too hot for any but cats and Congressmen,’ and ‘They couldn’t get in at the Shoals’ (where she had met artist Childe Hassam), they travelled north. They stayed at the Asquam House overlooking Squam Lake, and built a house nearby in 1895. This is the place she returned to every summer for over sixty years.”
It turned out to be a stroke of luck that the Isles of Shoals on the seacoast was booked up, forcing Helen and her father to look elsewhere for a summer retreat. The Squam area appealed to them, which is why they chose to build a permanent summer home in this corner of the Lakes Region. (Helen’s mother had passed away in 1885, before the Nicolays went to Holderness.) When her mother died, Helen (as the only child) stepped in and served as her father’s hostess and also as his secretary. Immersed as she was in the academic, as well as the political world, Helen was witness to many of the historical events of her time. (One can only imagine what it was like to sit and hear John Nicolay speak first-hand of President Lincoln and such events as the Civil War.) Not only was Helen a writer, but she was also an accomplished artist. She captured some of the places she traveled in her drawings, and her oil and watercolor paintings. John Nicolay saw her work and knew his daughter was talented. (He also was a giftedwatercolorist.) When they retreated to their Holderness summer home, which they named Tannenruh, Helen continued to paint in her studio and at outdoor locations on or near Squam Lake. According to Maguire, “Helen’s father was an avid watercolorist, specializing in wildflowers. Helen began drawing at an early age, inspired by her father. It was obvious she had talent, and as a teenager, was sent to study under J. Wells Champney. She painted in both oils and watercolors, but watercolors were her true love. I suspect part of the reason for that was the tools required were more portable on her extensive travels.” Helen was known to paint at Squam Lake and other New Hampshire locations, as well as in Europe, Egypt and the Western National Parks. The artwork captures the arid deserts of Egypt and the lush green of summer in New England equally well, and her skill with
the elusive medium of watercolor is obvious. (The Nicolay family traveled within the United States: to Florida, Illinois, DC, Crystal Park, Colorado, and finally, to New Hampshire.) John Nicolay’s job at the Supreme Court, and his work on the Lincoln biography proved time consuming, but in October of 1900, the Nicolays sailed to Europe and went on to Egypt, where they took a trip up the Nile. It was quite a long journey and perhaps a taxing one for Mr. Nicolay. It was John Nicolay’s last trip, and he died the following year after returning home. When asked if she watched Helen at work on a painting, Ann Marie says, “I doubt that I was around when she painted. Much of her work was finished in her studio, or outside with her friends. I think children would have been considered a distraction, and she would have preferred to be able to concentrate. “She taught me to draw,” Ann Marie
continues. “I was the only child in my first-grade class of 40 war babies who could draw a house with a properly aligned roof. The other children all drew square boxes.” Certainly, Helen’s influence paid off; Ann Marie is a photographer and writer and a former college and middle school teacher. In her travels, she has photographed Europe, the Arctic, Maritime Provinces, and New England. Why did Ann Marie decide to tackle writing a book on Helen’s life? “In 1994, Geoffrey Stokes wrote an article about her in the Boston Globe after seeing her work for sale in the Old Print Barn in Meredith,” she says. “After the article appeared, my friends, the owners of the collection, let me photograph the entire remaining collection to preserve a record of it. I became involved with them in publicizing the work, • Nicolay Continued on page 42

• Nicolay Continued from page 41 talking with art museums, and holding a month-long exhibit at the Whistler Museum in Massachusetts, complete with a Victorian tea. I wrote a synopsis of her life that was published by the Print Barn, and produced a guide for the exhibit at the Whistler. It became obvious that Helen’s biography needed to be written.” Due to life circumstances, it was some time before Ann Marie, who now resides on an island off the coast of Maine, had the time to tackle the project. She recalls, “A couple of years ago my family started asking when I was going to write the book, and it seemed like time. I asked my son, John, to help with this as he is a journalist and former editor.”

Ann Marie relates that writing the book was a big project. “The book required hundreds of hours of research. We were fortunate to have access to letters Helen wrote to her best friend, Elisabeth Tibbott of D.C. My son, John, spent a week there copying them, and doing research in the National Archives and at the Library of Congress. Writing the book was an adventure - a treasure hunt, and it was a lot of fun! It was also a voyage of discovery, getting to know Aunt Helen through adult eyes, and I am grateful to have had the opportunity. “She once said to me, ‘When you are twelve, dear, you can come overnight on the Pullman and visit me in Washington.’ Sadly, she died the month after I turned twelve, so it didn’t happen. (Helen died in 1954.) I only knew her as a child, but she had a great
influence on my life, and I am sure she is responsible for my love of art and literature. She never had any children of her own, but she loved children and was wonderful to us. We knew, however, that we were expected to be polite and well behaved. It was never a chore, because we loved and respected her. (She had been raised as a small adult, and expected the same from us!)” One can well imagine the well-bred and quiet Helen summering in the Squam Lake area, pursuing her writing assignments (Helen authored such books as Our Capital on the Potomac, Samuel F. B. Morse Wizard of the Wires, Personal Traits of Abraham Lincoln, Lincoln’s Secretary, a Biography of John G. Nicolay, The Boys’ Life of Abraham Lincoln, The Boys’ Life of Washington, Born to Command The Story of General Eisenhower, The Boys’ Life of Benjamin Franklin, The Bridge of Water, Decatur of the Old Navy, MacArthur of Bataan, China’s First Lady, Our Perennial Bible, and Our Nation in the Building, among others. Venturing into her garden or another scenic location, Helen would set up her easel and painting supplies. Under her skilled hand, scenes of old farmhouses, islands, lakefront areas and misty mountains would come alive, captured in oil paints and watercolors. Reflects Ann Marie, “Helen had a sense of civic duty and fairness. She was an early advocate of women’s right to vote, and was involved with Hull House, the Red Cross and war efforts. She also was an interpreter for • Nicolay Continued on page 43

August 7, 2017 • Nicolay Continued from page 42 the State Department; she spoke five languages besides English. There is so much more to her story.” Indeed, Helen Nicolay, who chose to spend her summers in the peace and quiet and beauty of the Squam Lake area, contributed so much to the world. Her body of artwork and writings is staggering and her kindness to others has not been forgotten. Those of us who missed knowing this outstanding and remarkable woman, can see her work and learn more at a number of events taking place in the Lakes Region this summer and fall, as well as reading Ann Marie’s new book. The Holderness Historical Society is holding an exhibit of Helen’s paintings through August 26. The Society building is located on Rt. 3 at Curry Place in Holderness and is open on Saturdays from 10 am to 2 pm. This is a rare opportunity to view Helen’s paintings of the area done skillfully in oils and watercolors. Visit www.holdernesshistoricalsociety.org for details. The Squam Lakes Natural Science Center in Holderness is honoring the plein air painting of Helen Nicolay this summer with workshops for adults and children. On August 8, a free workshop titled “Inspired by Nature: Techniques of the 19th Century White Mountain Painters” will be presented by wellknown painter Lauren Sansaricq at 7 pm. As part of a Holderness-wide celebration of the life and paintings of Helen Nicolay, Sansaricq will discuss the approach taken by the Hudson River School artists of working from
drawings and plein-air sketches and how they saw and studied nature. She will demonstrate the layered process used for larger paintings. Lauren will also share her process as a landscape painter and how it relates to the Hudson River School. Reservations are required; call 603-968-7194. On August 10, a Plein Air Watercolor Painting Workshop will be held in Kirkwood Gardens at the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center from 10 am to 3 pm. The workshop is for adults and youth age 16 and up. The class introduces the watercolor techniques and tools still in use since artist Helen Nicolay painted here in the 19th century. Beginners, as well as more experienced painters, will use Kirkwood Gardens as inspiration. Instructor Maryellen Sakura will demonstrate painting fundamentals subject selection to watercolor techniques and tools. Call 603-968-7194 for registration and fees. In the Lake Sunapee area, the Fells Historic Estate & Gardens in Newbury is having an exhibit of some of Helen’s paintings through October 9. The Fells was the estate of John Hay, who worked with Nicolay in serving President Lincoln at the White House and co-authored the exhaustive 10-volume set on Lincoln’s life. Helen remained in contact with Hay and his family for many years and sometimes painted at the Fells. Call 603-763-4789 for hours and details.

Newly Expanded Service Department
Focus on Local Beauty: Sandwich Home Industries and Artisans on the Green Sandwich Home Industries, the first gallery of the New Hampshire League of Craftsmen, has confirmed the participation of more than 30 artisans from throughout the state to join in an all-day celebration of arts and crafts on the Town Green in Sandwich on Thursday, August 10. The work of this year’s group of talented artisans reflects the natural beauty of New Hampshire surroundings in every media possible. From fiber to fine arts, and from wood turning to silver casting, their work combines an observation of nature and their interpretation of it into objects for home and office. For example, Sharon Dunigan’s beautiful stoneware pottery is created for everyday use. Sharon’s artistry combines function with a stunning appreciation for New Hampshire’s abundance. Her popular blueberry embellished plates, vases, and mugs will be on sale again this year at Artisans on the Green. When asked why she chooses to show her work in Sandwich, Sharon explained, “I decided years ago that I would show my work in lovely places. The village of Sandwich is one of the most delightful.” Matt Brown is a well-known printmaker and NH League of Craftsmen artisan represented at
Sandwich Home Industries. Working first in larger scale wood projects as a carpenter, cabinetmaker, and builder, Matt’s skills and interests evolved to making carved wooden blocks as the basis for his subtly colored prints. His beautifully developed works of New Hampshire birds, mountains, and lakes are shown in the Center Sandwich gallery throughout the season. There are many more examples of objects inspired by New Hampshire’s natural world and produced in multiple kinds of mixed media available at Artisans on the Green. Held during Sandwich Old Home Week celebrations, select New Hampshire artists and craftspeople will gather on the Sandwich Town Green on Thursday, August 10, from 10 am to 4:30 pm to demonstrate, describe, and sell their quality arts and crafts. The public is welcome to talk with the artists, watch them work, and purchase objects you love. Organized by Sandwich Home Industries each summer for many years, this event is a good way to celebrate the Home Industries mission and their commitment to community crafts education.

Invasive Species Work Days Plant Removal with Master Gardener Liz Stevens Non-native invasive plants are spreading across the United States and also taking over in New Hampshire. Invasive species pose a serious threat to the environment, impact endangered wildlife species, and can cause health problems. Squam Lakes Natural Science Center invites adults to gear up and head outside for a series of Invasive Species Removal Work Days on August 22, September 15, and October 5, from 9:30 to 11 am. Participants will work with Master Gardener Liz Stevens. She will guide the group and teach about ways to eradicate invasive plants. Liz will identify plants and demonstrate certain ways and techniques to pull invaders out of the ground on the Science Center property. Refreshments will be provided to wrap up the morning. Participants should remember to bring work gloves, insect repellent, sunscreen, and to wear sturdy shoes. The events are free and open to the public; however registration is required to attend. Interested adults may register by calling the Science Center at 603-968-7194. The main focus of the series will be removing Oriental Bittersweet, also called Asian Bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus), which is native to parts of Japan and China. The work will be done in an effort to keep the vine from spreading further into animal enclosures and smothering trees,
shrubs, and other plants on the Science Center grounds. The vines on this plant can reach up to 60 feet and are often visible climbing up and over trees and branches. This plant can be identified by its bluntly toothed leaves, fivepetaled yellowish-white flowers, and mature orange-yellow fruit. The species was introduced from overseas as an ornamental garden plant, but it escaped from landscaped gardens and now is found throughout the state where it can strangle trees and spread through open forests. It becomes difficult to manage if left alone. Invasive species like the Oriental Bittersweet can cost the country billions of dollars per year due to losses in agricultural crops. There are generally four methods of removing and controlling this harmful
species from taking over the forest. They are mechanical, cultural, chemical, and biological. Mechanical refers to hand pulling, mowing, and cutting. Cultural methods involve natural succession or human intervention to manipulate the environment in which the invasive plant is growing by manipulating soil pH, soil moisture, sun light and so on. Chemical control involves the use of herbicides, while biological control uses other organisms to naturally reduce the number of invasive species. Each person has an opportunity to act now. By being aware of the problem, learning how to recognize and report unwanted plants, and removing them from an area by their roots, you can stop invasive plants from destroying native species as well as protect the
wetlands, grasslands, and wildlife that live there. In an effort to protect New Hampshire’s habitats, the Invasive Plant Atlas of New Hampshire has come up with an action plan. More information about this group’s strategy may be found at the following link: http:// invasivespecies.gov/council/actionc. shtml or by contacting the New Hampshire department of Agriculture at www.agriculture.nh.gov. To learn more about these events, please visit www.nhnature.org or call 603-968-7194 option 7 to register. The mission of Squam Lakes Natural Science Center is to advance understanding of ecology by exploring New Hampshire’s natural world. Through spectacular live animal exhibits, natural science education programs, an informal public garden, and lake cruises, the Science Center has educated and enlightened visitors since 1966 about the importance of our natural world. Squam Lakes Natural Science Center is located on Route 113 in Holderness, an easy drive from exit 24 off I-93, and is open daily from May 1 through November 1. The Science Center is accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) and is the only AZA-accredited institution in all of northern New England.
