Squam Swim…for the Loons By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper Photo courtesy Loon Center One might say Wendy Van de Poll attracts wildlife, specifically loons. If that seems like an odd thing to attract, it makes a lot of sense once you talk with Wendy. As a person who has spent her adult life working with all sorts of animals, the fact that when Wendy swims Squam Lake, loons often come very close isn’t unusual at all. Wendy knows how to behave around loons, and she isn’t out on the water to do anything but swim and enjoy the beauty of the lake. Perhaps the loons sense calmness about her, or that she is on their side. Whatever the reason, Wendy says that on a recent quiet early morning swim, she had the lake area to herself. As she swam, she suddenly saw a group of loons very close; as anyone who knows about loons will tell you, that is quite unusual. “I tell them, ‘Don’t worry. I’m going to make sure you get new shoes!’” she laughs. She is referring to the Squam Swim, which she started and continues to do every year in support of the Squam Lake Loon Initiative at the Loon Preservation Committee on Lee’s Mills Road in Moultonboro. “I started the swim 12 years ago,” she recalls. “The first two years I did the swim solo and swam seven miles on Squam Lake.” The first year, as friends and interested spectators observed the

Wendy and her team at the Squam Swim. swim, she was asked what she was raising money for. “When I was swimming one day, an eagle followed me,” Wendy says. “I decided to do the swim the first year to raise money for the NH Audubon’s eagle project. The second year, I decided the swim would benefit the Loon Center.” Wendy loves to swim and so the fundraiser event is a natural for her. But by the third year, she realized it would be a much better and more fun event if she had other swimmers join her in a relay swim. At that time it officially became the Squam Swim and now this year is the 10th anniversary of the fun event. This year’s swim will take place on August 11 at the Sandwich town beach and once again, the team will swim the seven-mile length of Squam Lake in a

relay fashion. Wendy stresses this is not a highly competitive event, but rather a great way to raise money in a laid-back, supportive atmosphere. Each year sees a different group of swimmers come forward to volunteer, although some participants return more than one year. “We have about eight swimmers and three to four spotters who are awesome and keep us safe while we are swimming. Spotters are in kayaks and stay beside the swimmers during the relay.” Wendy usually swims three miles during the relay and the other swimmers do two to three miles each. Rockywold Deephaven Camps generously donates the use of a pontoon boat for Wendy and the team. The team has a celebratory early-morning potluck breakfast on the pontoon boat and then the Squam

Swim begins, with each team member entering the water for their portion of the swim while the others cheer them on. “This is not a competitive swim, but rather a fun chance to raise money and relax. The participants have to be able to swim a mile in an hour in order to do the event,” she says. “And we do the swim no matter if it’s raining or sunny.” Wendy trains for the event by swimming every day, and she keeps healthy by sensible eating and exercise. Because this is the 10th anniversary of the swim, Wendy expects a good turn out of spectators to cheer them on. Those who wish to donate can do so by going to the Loon Preservation Committee’s website and visiting the • Squam Swim Continued on page 4

• Squam Swim Continued from page 3 Squam Swim page under the Events header. (www.loon.org/squam-swim. php) Says Harry Vogel, senior biologist and executive director of the Loon Preservation Committee, “This is a great fundraiser event and it also raises awareness of the effort to bring the loons back. Loons have had a tough time. Savings the loons is what we do and we work to bring their population back. “They are known as the recluses of the lakes and we really don’t know totally why they are declining,” he adds. The Squam Swim, he explains, has raised over $150,000 over the 10 years it has been in existence. This is an amazing amount, and Vogel says the money is used to help the loons. For example, to test just one loon egg for contaminants costs $3,000. “There are 15 pairs of loons on Squam Lake and about 25 to 30 pairs on Lake Winnipesaukee,” he says. Obviously, Vogel, Wendy and others would like to help the loons and see those numbers increase. As part of the Squam Swim, the Loon Preservation Committee will be offering a special loon tour with staff biologist Tiffany Grade the day of the swim (August 11). The tour will meet at Walter’s Basin in Holderness and take a boat tour to learn about loons starting at 10:45 am. The tour ends at the town beach so everyone can cheer on Wendy and her team as they complete the swim. There will be a picnic lunch to follow. To pre-register

for the loon tour, call 476-5666. Wendy would like to see donations increase and reach her goal this year of hitting or surpassing the $200,000 mark since it is the 10th anniversary of the Squam Swim. As a former biologist specializing in wolves, Wendy has a deep interest in wildlife. Her criteria for the Squam Swim was that the funds raised be used for loon research. “The ecosystem is very important to me and I love wildlife,” she says. Wendy is a best-selling author and runs the Center for Pet Loss Grief (www. centerforpetlossgrief.com). Her books and information on her work can be found at the website. When she read that loons were having a difficult time, Wendy took notice. As a swimmer, she has had many good, close encounters with loons. “They follow me when I swim,” she laughs. “When I was swimming recently [as mentioned above], the loons were only 20 feet away.” If one were to be whimsical, it seems the loons know a friend when they see one and were there to encourage Wendy to be the best swimmer she can be. Perhaps they know the importance of the efforts to save the loons and what an integral part Wendy and her team are as they take to the water on this 10th anniversary of the Squam Swim. Spectators are welcome to cheer on the swimmers at the Squam Swim; for information visit www.loon.org or call 476-5666.

Lots Going on at Squam Lakes Natural Science Center Black Bear Expert to Speak at the Science Center Black bears are an incredible species that make a rare and exciting encounter when seen in the wild. Though these bears require respect and distance from humans, they have also adapted to share the available living space in New Hampshire forests. In order to help the public better understand these beautiful creatures, Squam Lakes Natural Science Center in Holderness is hosting Wildlife Biologist Ben Kilham, who will speak about his experiences with black bears on Tuesday, Aug. 9 at 7 pm. Kilham has spent decades studying black bears, particularly in a vast tract of northern New Hampshire woodlands. Over the years, Kilham has had the incredible experience of being able to take in orphaned bears, feeding the infants; teaching them to decipher the forest around them; and eventually reintroducing them back into the wild. Once free, the orphaned bears still regard Killham as their mother. One orphaned black bear in particular, now 20-years old has opened a rare window into her daily life. This bear has helped Kilham paint a picture of how she and wild bears communicate, how black bears carry out their daily lives, and the process of raising their young. The program is great opportunity to listen to a specialist speak on his personal experiences while also delving into important information regarding black bear populations in the region. Kilham has been featured in five internationally televised documentaries, has debuted in over 40 nationally broadcast radio shows, including National Public Radio, and has also made guest appearances on The Today Show, Good Morning America, ABC Nightly News, The David Letterman Show, and more. Join Ben Kilham for his exciting lecture. There is no charge to attend, but reservations are required and may be made by calling 968-7194. The Squam Lakes Natural 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 1 through November 1. Sundance Film about Flaws in Modern School Systems

The Science Center invites the public to a special viewing of Most Likely to Succeed, an inspiring and captivating film aimed at helping communities identify the flaws in their school systems. This compelling 90-minute film empowers communities to ratify American school systems. Dr. Tony Wagner of Harvard’s Innovation Lab will introduce the film and take part in a panel discussion with New Hampshire’s Department of Education Deputy Commissioner Dr. Virginia Barry after the film. Dr. Tony Wagner, an expert in residence at Harvard University’s Innovation Lab and a Senior Research Fellow at the Learning Policy Institute, co-authored a book under the same title with Ted Dintersmith, which served as the basis for the film. The book and film are revolutionary and eye opening and have been described by Laszlo Block, SVP of People at Google and author of WORK RULES as “bracing, revelatory, and always backed up with hard facts. Most Likely to Succeed should top the reading list for any teacher, parent, citizen, or high school or college student. Wagner and Dintersmith’s incisive prose slices through the politics to show - without pointing fingers how schools can refocus to prepare our children for the jobs of the future.” The book that served as the basis for the film, Most Likely to Succeed: Preparing Our Kids for the Innovation Era, will be available for purchase during the event ($27.00). Dr. Wagner’s repertoire of work experience includes 12 years as a high school teacher, working as a K-8 principle, a university professor in teacher education, founding executive director of Educators for Social Responsibility, while also having written six books and many articles on this subject, attending numerous national and international conferences, and serving as the Strategic Education Advisor for Most Likely to Succeed, which premiered at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival. Dr. Wagner also serves as a Trustee of Squam Lakes Natural Science Center. The public is invited to attend this event on Saturday, Aug. 13, at 7 pm inside the Hagerman Auditorium at the Holderness School, located on Route 175 in Holderness. The cost to attend is $10 per person with all

Celebrate Tuftonboro at Its First Annual Old Home Days By Abby Scott Old Home Days have always been a staple of small town New Hampshire. Community members come together to celebrate their town’s heritage and catch up on each other’s lives every summer, usually complete with food and fun for the whole family. Just type “Old Home Day” into Google and you’re met with page after page of exciting events in the New England area. Some towns boast picnics and foot races, while others advertise auctions and antiques. Several towns have even been at it for over a century, perfecting the formula for a successful Old Home Day. Tuftonboro, on the other hand, is celebrating its very first Old Home Days the weekend of August 26 through 28. The weekend is packed full with a picnic, foot race, cardboard boat race, antique car show, and more, giving even the most established Old Home Days a run for their money. Curious as to what it takes to pull together such a massive event, I talked with some of the people who have been working tirelessly over the past 10 months to make Tuftonboro’s first Old Home Days a reality. Gina Lessard, Chairman of the Parks and Recreation Commission and a key player in bringing Old Home Days to Tuftonboro, says that they began their work with one thing in mind: “[finding] a way to bring the community together.” The Old Home Days Committee was formed last October, and the eight or

so community members quickly began making plans for the summer. Jackie Rollins, the town’s tax collector for nearly 30 years, was thrilled to learn about the potential of an Old Home Day in Tuftonboro, and joined the committee right away. “This is an awesome idea!” she remembers thinking. “Let’s do it!” Gina says they spent the first few monthly meetings thinking up ideas – the already established Town Picnic and 5K Road Race were two events they wanted to be sure to include. They toyed with the idea of an Old Home WEEK, but decided to save that for the future. (Gina hinted at a big celebration for the town’s 225th birthday in 2020!) While the goal of Old Home Days may have been to bring the community together, it’s clear to see the Tuftonboro community at work in just the planning of the event. As the committee began narrowing their focus and deciding on events, community members began stepping up to lead and organize them. “[Someone] said ‘I want to do a nature walk,’” Jackie says, and another local decided to organize an antique car rally. The Melvin Village Church youth group volunteered to run the cardboard boat race, and the Parks and Rec Department said they’d handle the 5K and movie night. Even the Police and Fire Departments volunteered their services to help with the foot race and the picnic. “It’s been a committee effort,” says Jackie, who herself is in charge of the chicken dinner and scavenger hunt.

Mason jar mug commemorating Tuftonboro’s First Old Home Days. Along with the many volunteers for the events, the Committee reached out to Tuftonboro Central School to hold a logo design contest. As a part of their civics lesson, fifth graders from the school began designing possible logos for the first annual Old Home Days. The winning design, a whimsical depiction of a barn and horse-drawn wagon, is featured on Tuftonboro Old Home Days paraphernalia and commemorative Mason jar mugs featuring the design will be available for purchase at the Town Offices and any of the weekend’s events. Throughout the past year, the Old Home Days Committee have spent hours working, organizing, and planning, but for a community as

special as the one they’ve found in Tuftonboro, they don’t mind. “I am the eighth generation to live in this town,” says Jackie. “Tuftonboro is in my blood.” Gina, while not a native, grew up in Tuftonboro and cites the “nice community” as the thing that kept her in the area as she raised her own family. It’s only fitting that the personal histories of the event’s organizers be deeply entwined in Tuftonboro’s own history as they prepare to celebrate the town’s heritage at the end of the month. When asked what events they were most looking forward to, Gina and Jackie couldn’t pick just one – “I’m looking forward to the whole weekend,” Jackie says – and with all

Later in the day, from 1 – 3 pm, Davis Memorial Field will be filled with antique cars for the free Antique Car Show. This is a fun, non-judged event and all cars 1975 or older are welcome to join.

Footloose at Interlakes Summer Theatre

thelaker.com

Interlakes Summer Theatre in Meredith is finishing off this summer’s season with a show that will be performed for the first time ever in New Hampshire’s Lakes Region. Footloose opens on August 9 and runs through August 14. The classic tale of teenage rebellion and repression features a delightful combination of dance choreography and realistic and touching performances. When teenager Ren McCormack and his family move from big-city Chicago to a small Midwestern town, he’s in for a real case of culture shock. Though he tries hard to fit in, the streetwise Ren can’t quite believe he’s living in a place where rock music and dancing are illegal.

Performances will be at Interlakes Auditorium 1 Laker Lane, through August 14 at 7:30 pm Tuesday through Saturday and 5 pm on Sunday. Matinees are Wednesday and Thursday at 2 pm. Tickets are available at the box office Monday through Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm and Sundays 12 pm to 4 pm. Call 707-6035 to reserve your seats.

Unique Local Treasures Featured at Tuftonboro Library Auction The singular talents of several generations of Tuftonboro folk are reflected in their special donations to the Love Our Library Auction, sponsored by the Friends of the Tuftonboro Library. Unique local handcrafts and artwork, culinary magic, priceless experiences, and even an heirloom will all be up for bid on Friday, Aug. 12 at the Todaro Center in the Tuftonboro area. Winning bidders will take home a lovely view of Mt. Chocorua painted on a wooden keepsake box by Barbara Williams, and one of Theresa Hlushuk’s distinctive hand-woven baskets, filled with jars of Chef Wade’s special sauces and salsas, and a gift certificate for four of Jackie Rollins’ famous fruit pies – mix or match strawberry-rhubarb, blueberry, or apple. As for priceless experiences, how about a ride for one adult and two kids in Tuftonboro’s own 10-engine-1 in the 4th of July Parade? Or an hour-long concert by musician and vocalist, Natalie Hebden, for a private party, family reunion, or non-profit fundraising event. Or an exclusive tour of the NH State House and lunch with Senator Jeb Bradley. The heirloom is a brightly colored afghan throw, which

presents a chance to support two pillars of the community at once. It was hand-crocheted by Phoebe Whitten Willy, who was born in Tuftonboro on June 26, 1915, and just celebrated her 101st birthday. Her afghan will be featured during the live auction, and proceeds from the winning bid will be split 50/50 with the Tuftonboro Grange #142 – Pomona #8, of which she is the eldest member. Other items up for bid include vacation getaways to a private lake and lodge in Vermont for fly-fishing; to a luxurious harborside hotel in Newport, RI for sightseeing; and to a waterfront cottage on Peaks Island, ME for the upcoming Labor Day Weekend. Golfers can bid on rounds of golf at Lake Winnipesaukee Golf Club, Bald Peak Golf Club, and Ridgewood Golf Club. Patriots’ fans will be vying for two frontrow seats on the five-yard line for Tom Brady’s first home game of the season, Sunday, Oct. 16, against the Cincinnati Bengals. Love Our Library Auction tickets are $25, available at the Library and Geez Louise in Tuftonboro, and Black’s and Antonucci Insurance in Wolfeboro. The ticket price includes bid cards for silent and live auctions offering more than 80 exceptional

items, live music by the Lakeside Ramblers, delicious hors d’oeuvres and desserts, complimentary beer, wine, and soft drinks, and a funfilled evening that will benefit the

Tuftonboro Library Building Fund. For more information, or to reserve tickets, please call the Library at 569-4256.

Iconic Screen Lover Rudolph Valentino Stars in Double Feature He was the cinema’s first sex symbol, causing hordes of female moviegoers to flock to his pictures throughout the 1920s. He starred in films designed to show off his Latin looks, his smoldering eyes, and his dancer’s body. And his untimely death in 1926 prompted mob scenes at his funeral in New York. He was Rudolph Valentino, who remains an icon for on-screen passion long after he caused a sensation in the 1920s. Two of Valentino’s most acclaimed films will be screened with live music on Thursday, Aug. 18 at 6:30 pm at the Flying Monkey Moviehouse and Performance Center, 39 South Main St., Plymouth. The Sheik (1921) served as the blockbuster that launched the Valentino craze, while Son of the Sheik (1926), a sequel, is widely regarded as Valentino’s finest work. Son of the Sheik was the actor’s last film, released following his death in August 1926 from complications from peritonitis. He was only 31 and at the

Rudolph Valentino stars with Agnes Ayres in ‘The Sheik’ (1921), part of a double feature of big-screen passion to honor the 90th anniversary of the iconic actor’s untimely death. Also on the bill is ‘Son of the Sheik’ (1926), a sequel to the original. Both movies will be shown with live music on Thursday, Aug. 18 at 6:30 pm at the Flying Monkey Moviehouse and Performance Center in Plymouth, NH. (Courtesy Image) height of his career when he died.

Valentino rose to superstar status in a series of silent pictures that enflamed the passions of female moviegoers from coast to coast and around the world. But he was more than a pretty face—during his career, critics praised Valentino as a versatile actor capable of playing a variety of roles; his achievements included popularizing the Argentinian tango in the 1921 drama Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. But Valentino’s brief stardom was defined by the Sheik roles, which brought a new level of exotic sexuality to the movies, causing a sensation at the time. In theaters, women openly swooned over Valentino’s on-screen image, especially in roles such as the Sheik, which featured elaborate costumes. At its peak, his popularity was so immense that it inspired a backlash among many male moviegoers, who decried Valentino’s elegant image and

mannerisms as effeminate. Valentino’s sudden death only fueled his status as a legendary romantic icon of the cinema. For years, a mysterious woman dressed in black would visit his grave at the Hollywood Park Cemetery in Los Angeles, leaving only a single red rose. Valentino was aware of his effect on audiences, saying “women are not in love with me but with the picture of me on the screen. I am merely the canvas upon which the women paint their dreams.” The Valentino double feature is the latest in a series of monthly silent film screenings at the Flying Monkey Moviehouse and Performance Center. The series aims to recreate the lost magic of early cinema by bringing together the elements needed for silent film to be seen at its best: superior films in best available prints, projection on the big screen, live musical accompaniment, and a live audience. “These films are still exciting experiences if you can show them as they were designed to be screened,” says Jeff Rapsis, accompanist for the screenings. “There’s a reason people first fell in love with the movies, and we hope to recreate that spirit. At their best, silent films were communal experiences in which the presence of a large audience intensifies everyone’s reactions.” For each film, Rapsis improvises a music score using original themes he creates beforehand. None of the music is written down; instead, the score evolves in real time based on audience reaction and the overall mood as the movie is screened. Admission to the program is $10 per person.

Life in Paris at the Wolfeboro Library Dreaming of the beautiful streets of Paris? Take a photographic and musical trip through the City of Light and Love with retired UNH Professor Henry Smith, as Wolfeboro Public Library continues its 2016 Travel the World theme with Smith’s program, Life in Paris, on Thursday, Aug. 11 at 7 pm in the library’s meeting room. This presentation is a collection of

images and stories that Professor Smith has collected over his many years of ongoing travel to France. Informative and entertaining, he shares his keen interest in life in France, social and political, past and present - the art and graffiti, his personal encounters, the open-air markets, cemeteries, and so much more. Smith encourages others who have visited Paris to share their

own experiences during the gathering. Henry Smith is an emeritus professor of the University of New Hampshire where he was a lecturer in French from 1988-2005. He holds a Master’s in French Language, Literature and Civilization. He travels to France every year to keep up with life in France - language, culture, and life on the

streets. The library is able to bring Professor Smith’s program Life in Paris to Wolfeboro courtesy of the UNH Speakers Bureau. Wolfeboro Public Library’s programs are free and open to all. For more information call 569-2428 or visit www.wolfeborolibrary.org.

Servicing All Makes! Open Year Round!

Surf Musician Donavon Frankenreiter Coming to Flying Monkey Many things in life are fickle. Music in one. Two singing surfers from Hawaii. One so famous he’s parodied on “Saturday Night Live.” The other, as equally talented, is known by a more modest but discerning audience. Donavon Frankenreiter, who will perform August 26 at The Flying Monkey Performance Center, doesn’t mind the comparisons to Jack Johnson. “I understand it,” Frankenreiter says. “And being mentioned in the same sentence as him, that’s good company. He’s a good guy and a great songwriter and he gave me my start in music.” Johnson produced Frankenreiter’s debut album and co-wrote several of the songs. “Sonically, my first record sounded similar [to Jack’s sound] but when people see me live and hear all my other stuff, they realize I’m a lot different,” Frankenreiter says. It’s equally noteworthy that 42-yearold Frankenreiter has also been a

professional surfer, with multiple endorsements, since he was a teenager. In 2004, when he was 30, he recorded his first album and has recorded eight solo albums since. Frankenreiter’s dual careers keep the married father of two on the road and away from his home on the north shore of Kauai about eight months of the year. “On the road, it’s nonstop planes, trains and chaos,” he says. “Home is like a dreamscape. I love it.” That does not mean Frankenreiter plans to cut back on either career, as both surfing and music feed his soul. And for that audiences in New Hampshire can feel fortunate, as they will get to hear his laid back, soulful surf-rock in little the Flying Monkey. (Local rising star Jay Psaros will open the night.) For more information on upcoming shows or to purchase tickets call the box office at 536-2551 or visit www. flyingmonkeyNH.com.

BOAT MUSEUM

The Effingham Historical Society invites you to visit the Historic Carroll County Courthouse on Courthouse Square in Ossipee from now through September 20 to view a special exhibit hosted there entitled, “From Fifth Avenue to Town House Road: Fashion and Accessories in Effingham.” Featuring a wide range of clothing and accessory items from the Society’s collections, this exhibit looks at what those items can tell us about the individuals who wore and used them, as well as the communities and times in which they lived. This exhibit is free and open to the public. It may be viewed before and after any regularly scheduled Ossipee Historical Society program or by appointment. To schedule an appointment, please contact Erik Jones at 539-4071. Please be aware that at least 48 hours-notice may be necessary for viewings by appointment. Founded in 1953, the Effingham Historical Society (EHS) seeks to furnish an opportunity for united thought, study and action in collecting and preserving articles of historic

interest to the Town of Effingham; to select, protect, arrange, and record documents and artifacts; and to show handiwork, home furnishings, and habits of the life of our forefathers in order to communicate the historical values of the Town and to provide present and future access to our cultural past.

Yester year The Amazing Laconia Fair By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper “Remember this is to be the Great Fair of 1901. Four days and an evening of Solid Rest, Comfort and Entertainment. Consider the Great Entertainment Given and take your Sweethearts, Wives, Brothers, Sisters and Cousins” Laconia Fair bulletin, 1901 These words of encouragement were meant to entice hoards of people to the Laconia Fair, held September 3 through 6 in 1901. In today’s world, we are accustomed to the Rochester Fair, the Sandwich Fair, and other agricultural fairs around New Hampshire, but the good old Laconia Fair no longer takes place and as a result, many never heard of it. According to the Fair program of 1901, (courtesy the archives of the Lake Winnipesaukee Museum in Weirs Beach), that year saw a very hot summer. Indeed, the program promised a fair with lots of entertainment that would in itself be “the hottest time you ever saw.” Among the amusements, the program said the Merchant’s Midway, while amazing two years before, would be beautiful and “bigger and better” in 1901. The Laconia Fair, held at what is today the Opechee Park area, would have been a huge draw in 1901. Trains ran daily to downtown Laconia, a short walk from the park and visitors likely came from elsewhere to see the fair. A description of the grounds at the turn-of-the-century paints a picture with words of a tranquil, beautiful place. “Located upon the shores of beautiful Lake Opechee, it is very seldom in the afternoon but what there is a cool breeze, which insures [sic]

the comfort of the visitors even on the warmest days.” The program went on to describe “two pleasant groves, one of them situated on the shore of the lake.” One area of the grove had a well with cold water, which was welcomed by those who picnicked in the area. And when it came to alcohol, “no liquors or other intoxicants are allowed to be sold upon the grounds” the public was warned. What was on schedule in 1901? Quite a lot, even by today’s standards. A racing program would have been popular, with $31,000 in purse money. Some of the best racehorses in New England were scheduled to run. The year 1901 was considered part of the Victorian era, with décor that would today be considered cluttered; ornate displays of flowers were part of the trend. The Floral Hall at the Laconia Fair would have been pleasing to the ladies, with over 150 feet of display space. There was concern there might not be “proper room for all our entries” which also included vegetables. A Mechanical and Agricultural Exhibit was held under a 50 by 110 ft. tent where modern farm machinery would be displayed. The program warned, “The farmer who does not keep up with modern machinery cannot compete with his up-to-date brother.” There were games of chance, among them the “Wild Girl from Yucatan and Bosco, the girl who grew fat eating snakes.” A Western cowboy would be there to thrill youngsters with his skill and daring. Apparently, 1901 was a year of change for the Laconia Fair. No longer would the event be just an agricultural fair, with long lines to see animal pulls and competitions. Between these events, spectators could sit in comfort in the stands and partake in vaudeville-

type entertainment. Conway and Leland, the “Merry Monopedes” thrilled the audience with acrobatics and comedy routines.

along with the Brothers Lanoles, “double trapeze artists supreme.” Such acts appear to have been very popular at the time, because the 1901 program is full of those with acrobatic skills, such as The Everett Trio and the Great Bovais. Marion Story, a local girl, was a part of the entertainment as well, and presented a cornet solo performance. Although these acts were thrilling, people waited with excitement to see the hot air balloon and parachute jumps done by Professor Stafford and Miss Stafford. The daring Professor also did cannon balloon ascension, which was dangerous. No fair would be complete without music and the Laconia Fair in 1901 offered seven bands, including the Franklin Military Band, Carroll County Band, Pease’s City Band, Hill Cornet Band, the Center Harbor Band, and Rublee’s Band (which the reader was assured needed no recommendation) and the Tilton Cornet Band. Every child either had or wanted to have a bicycle, and they likely loved the act of Hacker and Lester, the World’s Greatest Trick Bicyclists. (Laconia Fair management apparently saw the bicycle act at the Music Hall in Boston and could not resist booking them for the NH fair in Laconia.) High divers Professor and Madame Norin thrilled Laconia Fair audiences with their daring act. On Thursday

of the Laconia Fair, the Professor saturated his clothing with oil and then ascended an 85-ft. tower. Once at the tower’s top, he set himself aflame and then dove into a tank of water only 43 inches deep and 14 by 17 feet wide and long. The show program tells us the act was not allowed to go on at a previous event, due to the police stopping the Professor’s daring plunge. There was so much to see and do at the Laconia Fair, crowds must have been large. Visitors would have come by railroad as well as other modes of transport. A schedule listing all railroad routes to Laconia was listed in the show’s program, with trains running from as far away as Vermont and the Massachusetts border towns. Eventually, the fair ceased to operate and was replaced over time by other fairs with more of an agricultural emphasis, such as the Belknap County 4-H Fair. The first 4-H Fair was held in around 1943 in the Laconia area. Today’s fairs have musical acts, food, a midway, agricultural exhibits, tractor and animal pulls and more, but there is no denying the old-time Laconia Fair, with its daring divers and acrobats and vaudeville-type performers were the thrill that brought people from all over to the area for a few days every year. It was a wonderful and entertaining way to mark the start of September, and probably a happening that people, hungry for entertainment, looked forward to all year.

Claude Bourbon at Wakefield Opera House Sept. 7

Ready for a unique and talented take on a wide range of musical traditions? Join the Wakefield Opera House on September 7 at 7 pm for a night of Medieval and Spanish blues by famed guitarist Claude Bourbon. Claude is known throughout Europe and America for amazing guitar performances that take blues, Spanish, Middle Eastern, and Russian stylings into uncharted territories. Each year Claude plays more than 100 shows around the world. Claude has played countless venues, including Glastonbury Festival, Isle of Wight Festival, Colne Great British & Blues Festival, Rock O’Z Arene, Avenches, Switzerland, among others. He has shared the stage in Europe and the USA with countless musicians, Calvin Russel, Charlie Morgan (Elton John, Gary Moore), Jan Akkerman (Focus), Steve Grossman

(Miles Davis), Herbie Armstrong (Van Morisson), Jose Barrense Dias and many more. Now based in the UK, some of this guitarists’ influences allow us a fascinating insight into this remarkable musician: Paco De Lucia, Deep Purple’s Richie Blackmore, Joaquin Rodrigo, JJ Cale, Monty Python, JS Bach and Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks, to name a few. One reviewer even noted that although “Claude’s roots were in blues, that is like saying Leonardo da Vinci was a painter.” Intrigued? Experience an evening of exploration in the unique ambiance of the Thumb! Here is just a taste of the praise Claude has received over the years: “Claude Bourbon is a unique figure today… his playing is almost indescribable,” writes The Hook, Charlottesville,

VA. “Never heard anyone get that much beautiful sound out of a J-45,” says Bob from Tucson, AZ. “Do you know what medieval guitar sounds like? I didn’t either ‘til I hooked up with Claude! This is some cool stuff, and he’s French and everything!” remarks Dolores River Brewery in Dolores, CO. Altadena News, CA, wrote of Claude’s performance: “A breathtaking acoustic fusion of blues, jazz, folk, classical and Spanish guitar from a stunning guitar virtuoso…” BBC, UK had this to say about the musician: “…This accomplished artist offers tender, compelling performance through highly developed precision. His sound instantly creates ambience – from haunting Spanish moods to

lyrical, romantic jazz, Claude Bourbon provides both a rich evening of music for lovers, and a real treat for music lovers…” Don’t miss this opportunity to see Claude Bourbon perform live at the Wakefield Opera House. Tickets are $15 at the door or $12 in advance from Ed Morrison, 522-0126; Angie Nichols at the Wakefield Town Hall Tax Office; Lovell Lake Food Center, Sanbornville; Sharper Image Salon and Woodman’s Corner Barber Shop, East Wakefield. The Opera House is located at 2 High Street 2nd Floor, Sanbornville, NH and can be found on Facebook as Wakefield Opera House.

Tower Numbers Don’t Do Justice to Tuftonboro’s Abenaki Tower Story & Photos by Barbara Neville Wilson

I read “WATCH.” I approach closer, already finishing the thought in my head. It must say “WATCH Head”? or “WATCH Low Clearance,” right? No. Now I see the whole phrase: “WATCH TV.” Really? “Watch TV”? Out here? Subconsciously, I question the blogger. If it’s humorous—and spelled correctly—is it really graffiti? I start up the solid steps, counting along the way, 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10. I round a landing and climb the next flight. Then the next. Soon I glance up and see the final flight and a couple peering down. She turns to him. “Do I go forward or turn around?” This final flight is more ladder-like than the rest. They join me seconds later. Although technically from “away,” Craig is quick to note he’s been coming to the Tower since he was a kid. Summers at Merrymount always include a visit, and this year Tracy has joined him. “There’s nothing quite like it” back home in Benicia, California, she says, catching her breath and smiling. Craig’s family has summered across the street for generations. I presume they were privy to plans after two academics took a walk on a fine summer day. Third generation Abenaki Tower Association member Karen BurnettKurie recounts, “In Tuftonboro one August day in 1923, Joshua Q. Litchfield, headmaster of the

Sunset is soon. I pull into the Abenaki Tower parking lot off Rt. 109, a little behind my self-imposed schedule. Another car is parked and another pulls in beside mine. I start up the wide groomed trail. Soon, I meet a man walking briskly down. Just stopping by after an afternoon at the beach, he says. He speaks of his visit almost like a guilty pleasure and quickly moves on. I round a slight curve from the woods and see the Tower rise. Solid, it sits nearly 100-ft. tall on utility poll legs. Warned in blogs about graffiti,

August 8, 2016 • Abenaki Tower Continued from page 36 Agassiz School in Jamaica Plains, MA and Frank Speare, President of Northeastern University in Boston, went for a walk and found themselves standing on Edgerly Hill, gazing out over clear pastures at the waters of Lake Winnipesaukee. Due to extensive foresting and the ravages of forest fire, the land then would not be recognized as today’s mature forest. The outdoors enthusiasts suggested a tower for the spot and quickly organized a group of like-minded people, naming Chester I. Campbell president. In February 1924, plans were drawn up, and the land was purchased for $800 from John Edgerly. Lewis McIntire, of Tuftonboro, put in a bid to construct the tower for $400. It was accepted” and less than a year later, the tower was dedicated in front of a crowd of 125. Despite rumors saying the tower was built for fire watching or World War II plane patrol, the Tower’s stated purpose is simply to provide a view, and I see the purpose was achieved as I top the final flight of rungs. Laid out spectacularly are treetops and rolling hills, Lake Winnipesaukee, the Ossipees and a glimpse of Castle in the Clouds. I’m soon joined by Christine and Richie of Derry, carrying thermal mugs and smiling broadly. “We’re here to celebrate,” says Christine. “We sold our house…and we’re celebrating.” Married 28 years, they’ve had a long haul for 15: first with health problems for her, and last fall, a heart attack with a one percent chance of survival for

Photo (Twilight): No camera captures the true view seen from the top of Abenaki. him. At that moment, says Christine, they realized “life changes in a second” and they don’t have time to wait to do the things they want to do. They put their house on the market in April, deciding to go on the road and see the world. When they received the offer on their house just nights ago, they chose Abenaki Tower as the very best place to celebrate their new life. “Will you take a picture of us? I want it for the scrapbook I’m starting.” We hear footsteps and a smiling face rises from the steps. This is Alley, we learn, and right behind her is JT. He just earned his Marketing MBA. For her first 20 years, Alley has spent every August in the same rented house down below, and Abenaki Tower is on her three-item “must see” list for JT’s first visit. It also includes the Pier 19 Grocery where she has gotten ice cream since she was a girl, and Castle in the Clouds, which they just visited. “They were having a wedding, and we

just sort of ‘snuck in’” to the Carriage House, she confides. She remembers coming to the Tower when she was so small her little legs couldn’t make it up the final flight of stairs. “My dad used to carry me.” We’re all silent a while, watching water bug boats on the lake, scanning

the sky for the small plane we hear buzzing, unsuccessfully coaxing cameras to capture hues painted by the fast-setting sun. Reluctantly, I glance at my watch and head down the ladder. From the landing below, I hear Alley move to a spot on the letter-filled rail. “Look. That’s my name! I wrote my name every summer. Then one year I found out it was illegal. My friend told me it was against the law and I could be arrested.” I hear the angst of her preteen self. “All winter long I thought about how I was going to buy some paint and paint over it.” Can you paint over memory?

A new festival focus on sustainability showcases Global Awareness Local Action from Ossipee, with demonstrations on home composting, gardening in raised beds, and utilizing rain barrels as well as Goatscaping from Naylen Farm in Conway, which pens their goats inside a moveable fence to gobble up your invasive species without chemicals. Many favorite events will be back as well. Take your kids on a Guided Family Forest Walk, a fun discovery adventure led by MMRG Education Coordinator Kari Lygren - a great time was had by all on her first festival walk last year!
