Canterbury Shaker Village: a very special place

By Mark Okrant Those of us who are passionate about heritage settings couldn’t be much more fortunate. New Hampshire offers many opportunities to view relics of our past, from traditional museum collections to historic buildings, landscapes, and communities. Among the best examples of the latter is Canterbury Shaker Village, located on Shaker Road in Canterbury, New Hampshire.

Founded in 1969 to preserve the 200-year-old legacy of the Canterbury Shakers, the Village is celebrating the 50th anniversary of its incorporation.

How did Canterbury Shaker Village come to be? The group we call the Shakers began in England during the 18th century, when Mother Ann Lee formed a religious society among a group of religious dissidents. Initially called the United Society of Believers, they were labeled Shaking Quakers because of a peculiarity in their manner of worship. During the 1770’s, these Shakers made their way to the United States. Once here, followers established 19 self-contained communities, and a number of additional sites, all situated from Maine to Kentucky. Twelve of these were in New England, with community number seven founded at Canterbury. Today, the only remaining Shaker community is at Sabbathday Lake in Gloucester, Maine.

Shakers just as easily could have been labeled “shockers,” for members of established Christian sects were scandalized by the group’s practice of

engaging in dancing during worship.

One can imagine the reaction from a visiting congregation of staid, sober Puritans upon viewing the Shakers as they whirled about and clapped their hands during prayer meetings.

The differences between the Shakers and others did not end there. Shakers practiced a form of communal, or shared, ownership. Members lived simply, believed in equality of the sexes, and practiced passivism. They also were aggressive entrepreneurs, adopting new technologies and reinvesting their earnings into enterprises that benefitted both themselves and the surrounding community. It did not take long for Shakers to earn a reputation for quality, integrity, reliability—as well as generosity toward the region’s poor.

Shakers practiced celibacy; therefore, propagation of the sect necessitated the ability to attract new members from outside. Amazingly, despite this limitation, the village achieved a population of 300 during the 1850’s.

Moreover, the community remained active for 200 years until 1992, when Ethel Hudson, the last Shaker, died.

Canterbury Shaker Village was established as a National Historic Landmark in 1993. Each year, tens of thousands of visitors follow Routes 393 and 106, before taking a left-hand turn, then traveling 2.7 miles along bucolic Shaker Road to reach the Village. Most arrive for the purpose of learning about • Shaker Village Continued on page 4

However, once immersed in the Village’s atmosphere—during a stay that typically lasts from two to three hours—many guests use visits as a time to reflect upon contemporary society, while renewing the human spirit in the process.

The entire site is 694 acres and includes structures, fields, forests, gardens, a nature trail, and mill ponds.

Thus, there are both indoor and

outdoor components to be experienced at Canterbury Shaker Village. Visitors should be prepared to walk moderate distances on paths of dirt and gravel, and be ready for the vagaries of New England weather. The 25 restored, original buildings, most dating to the 19th century, are fascinating and harken back to a time when buildings did not have air conditioning or heat.

Highlights of a visit include a first-generation meetinghouse and a dwelling house, both of which date to the 18th century. All of the buildings in the Village exemplify well-preserved

architecture, and contain objects, manuscripts, and/or photographs.

Visitors may choose to explore, both indoors and out, on their own or join one of the guided tours provided daily by the Village.

During my visits, my favorite activities have been the demonstrations, which include broom making, letterpress printing, oval box making, woodworking and chair taping, spinning, weaving, rug braiding, and sewing. After a fulfilling day, we have never been able to resist the museum store, which offers artisan quality goods that represent the workmanship and resourcefulness of the Shakers.

Some of the more popular craft items include oval boxes, baskets, brooms, and personal care products.

No Village experience is complete without a visit to the Creamery Café.

Here, the Concord Food Co-op and the Crust and Crumb Bakery provide light lunches, snacks, and drinks. Items in the museum store and café are locally produced, and prepared with Shaker traditions in mind.

This season, Canterbury Shaker Village will be offering a series of outstanding events. These include: • June 29 and 30 Traditional Craft Days

Alton Bay Water Bandstand Celebration Day If you have passed t h r o u g h Alton Bay, you likely spotted something unique: a bandstand in the middle of the water. You may have wondered what the town does with such a pretty structure. Is it simply for decoration? Is it just a conservation piece?

Do bands actually perform in the bandstand, and if so, can you hear the music from the shoreline?

This summer the public will get a chance to see the bandstand put to good use at the Alton Bay Water Bandstand Celebration Day on Saturday, June 22.

A hard working Alton Water Bandstand Committee has been organizing a day of events that will take place at the bandstand and also on land in Alton.

The purpose of the day is to celebrate the renovation of the bandstand.

The iconicstructure was built in around 1928 when a spirited and civic-minded group of men placed a cribbing of logs and rocks on the ice during the winter.

When spring arrived, the crib seated itself on a shallow ledge formation in Alton Bay. The men went to work and built the platform and bandstand above the cribbing. In those days, the bandstand was the place where judging of boat races took place and it also was a great spot to hold band concerts for the enjoyment of all.

The bandstand, from its water location in Alton Bay, is a beloved symbol of the town and summer residents and locals know they are in the town when they see the pretty bandstand. But time took its toll on the structure and the committee, with the support of the town and citizens, has brought the bandstand

back to its original glory.

The June 22 event will be a daylong celebration including events on the bandstand and on land as well. Events kick off at the Alton Bay town docks with the NH Boat Museum’s antique boat show from 10 am to noon. A fun cardboard boat race beginning at the town beach and sponsored by the Alton Business Association goes from 10 to 11 am.

The Fire Department’s Touch a Truck takes place in the Alton Bay parking lot from 10 am to 5 pm. From 11 to 11:30 am the Police Department’s K-9 demonstration will be held in the new gazebo.

From noon to 1 pm, the NH Boat Museum’s Antique Boat Parade starts at the town docks. A community tailgate picnic will be held in the Alton Bay parking lot, followed by a 1 pm fly-over in Alton Bay by the Alton Bay Seaplane Base.

The water bandstand dedication will be held at 1 pm at the land bandstand.

At 1:30 pm, the Donna Marie Puppet Show happens, followed by a great waterski show by the Maine Attraction Water Ski Show Team.

A barbershop concert at the Alton Bay land bandstand starts at 4 pm with Lakes Region Chordsmen. From 5 to 7 pm, 104.9 radio broadcasts at the land bandstand presented by “Guido the Hawk.” The day of fun winds down with a water bandstand concert with Organized Chaos from 7 to 9 pm.

Squam Lake Association’s Volunteering with Nature Groupie Do you want to help protect the natural resources in your community? Do you want to take action and volunteer for nature but are unsure where to start? Are you an organization that needs help recruiting volunteers for your naturebased projects? If you answered yes to any of these questions, join the Squam Lakes Association (SLA) on Wednesday, June 19 from 7 to 8 pm for a special presentation with Malin Clyde of UNH Cooperative Extension’s Nature Groupie. During this presentation, Malin will share how this program has been empowering generations of outdoor enthusiasts to volunteer for nature throughout New England and ways to get involved.

Malin started Nature Groupie (formerly the Stewardship Network:

60 YEARS Complete Well Drilling Service

From Home Water Wells to Business/Commercial Well Systems We do it all for you and DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME!

WE’LL DRILL THE WELL, RUN THE WATER LINE AND INSTALL YOUR PUMP AND PRESSURE TANK AND ADD THE FILTERS, PURIFIERS, SOFTENERS, WHATEVER YOUR NEW WATER SYSTEM NEEDS.

New England) in 2012 to inspire a collaborative effort of outdoor enthusiasts across New England to volunteer for nature. Currently, there are over 200 organizations using Nature Groupie to post outdoor volunteer opportunities. Efforts include projects in land and water stewardship, citizen science, and other programs that create meaningful connections between communities and the natural world. There are also a variety of webinars, leadership training events, and workshops to choose from.

This program is free and open to the public. Donations are welcome and will support the SLA’s mission ‘to conserve for public benefit the natural beauty, peaceful character and resources of the watershed.’ For more information about this presentation, visit www.squamlakes.org/events, or call the SLA at (603) 968-7336.

Upcoming Ecology Programs on Squam Lake Throughout the year, the Squam Lakes Association offers free programs open to the public on a variety of nature and conservation related topics.

The programs are presented by the AmeriCorps members of the Lakes Region Conservation Corps who spend their year on Squam performing

important conservation service in support of the Association’s mission.

“In June we have several exciting programs on Squam,” said SLA’s Director of Education, Leigh Ann Reynolds. “This is a chance to learn more about lake ecology and what we can all do as individuals to protect it.”

The first program will be held on June 21t for a summer solstice sunrise paddle on Squam Lake. Participants will kayak out to Moon Island in the early morning light and learn about watershed health.

Enjoy another opportunity to explore Squam Lake on June 28 for a bug hunt along the shoreline. If you like exploring aquatic species, this program is a chance to identify benthic macro invertebrates and how they serve as indicator species for water quality.

On June 22, the SLA will also host a family friendly Summer Kick-off event to celebrate conservation efforts in the Squam Lakes Watershed. Enjoy free kayak and canoe tours, knot tying demonstrations with sailors, rock climbing in the barn, Leave No Trace activities, invasive species workshops, s’mores by the fire pit, and more!

“The Summer Kick-off is a wonderful opportunity for families signed up or interested in our summer camps to meet the counselors and learn more about our summer youth programs,” said Leigh Ann. More information about SLA’s ecology programs can be found by visiting www.squamlakes.org/events.

Registration is required for most programs, so please sign up online in advance. All programs are free and open to the public. If you would like further information about the Association, please call 603-968-7336.

Back on the Trail at the Science Center Story and photos by Kathi Caldwell-Hopper We’ve all heard the saying that you’re never too old to learn is something new. I never thought much about that philosophy until a recent visit to the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center in Holderness.

For years, the Science Center was the place I took my son and daughter in the summer and fall. Especially in the summer, the Science Center held great appeal because we could be outside and walk a nice trail and see lots of animals we could never hope to observe otherwise.

Now that my kids are grown and living and working elsewhere I have not had as many opportunities to spend an afternoon at the Science Center.

But when my daughter Megan called and said she was coming home for a visit a few weeks ago, she mentioned she really wanted to go to the Science

The majestic Mountain Lion.

Center. I think it holds a lot of great memories for her, as well as offering a place for a nice, long walk on the trail.

She chose well because the weather on the Thursday we made our way to

Holderness was sunny and breezy. The June sky was bright blue and full of fluffy clouds, making it a perfect Lakes Region day for any outdoor activity.

We found ample parking in the large lot and made our way to the gift shop for tickets. The first thing I always noticed and something that impressed me is how clean and beautiful everything is at the Center. The buildings remind me of visiting an Adirondack style home, and they fit well in the wooded setting.

There is no trash as on trails I have taken in other places, and I believe

those who visit are respectful of the fact that this is a place animals reside.

The animals deserve to live in a good, safe environment and the Science Center is truly a place where they come first, which is as it should be.

We started our walk on the Live Animal Exhibit Trail at the Wood Energy building/area where we learned some information about wood burning and energy. Next was the Life Underground building, where we saw displays on microscopic creatures that live under the soil. It seems these creatures grind, tear, and shred dead plants, which is very helpful. Their work decomposes plant and animal material and recycles nutrients, which all helps with air and moisture.

(This was something of which I was completely unaware.)

There was also information on the burrows that chipmunks need to thrive. Although humans are unaware, chipmunks live under ground and create tunnels and passageways that are three or more feet deep. It is here they have shelter, and it is where they raise their young and are protected from predators.

We also got information in this area of • Day Tripping Continued on page 10

Page 10 | THE LAKER | June 17, 2019 • Day Tripping Continued from page 8 the trail on bats and the dreaded White Nose Syndrome that can devastate the bat population. (There is information on what you can do to help the bats, such as building a bat house in your yard and planting a pollinator garden to attract food for bats.)

The Water Matters Pavilion is a beautiful space that fits into the wooded setting. Inside the building there are huge aquariums with all sorts of fish, and displays about the water cycle and ice on the lakes and ponds. Also included is information about loons and the industrious beaver population.

Before we entered the next portion of the trail, with live animals in natural enclosures, there was a large sign with a headline asking, “Why Do We Exhibit Native Wildlife?” It is worth sharing some of that information, so the reader understands the Science Center philosophy. “We view these animals as ambassadors for their species and exhibit them in natural settings so visitors can appreciate their beauty, observe their behavior, and better understand their lives.”

If you have wondered where the animals come from, the sign also explains, “Most of the animals exhibited at the Science Center are here because they are unable to survive in the wild. Some are orphans and cannot take care of themselves. Others were injured and are unable to catch their food or escape from predators.”

The coyote display gives all sorts of fascinating facts about the animal.

We are shown coyote tracks and given a device to listen to the call of the coyote. The natural enclosure offers the coyote a huge space with a large glass observation window. It gives us a chance to see the animals at a distancebut close enough to really observe these animals in a natural setting.

Next was information on moose (and a giant moose carving in the greenery that was pretty realistic!), and fox and fisher cats.

Out of everything we saw on the trail, our favorite hands-down was the bobcat and mountain lion areas. I was interested to see how similar the bobcat is in its mannerisms to a house cat, although I am quite sure it would be a different story to confront one of the majestic creatures!

was glad to see it still is on the trail. It also brought back fond memories with exhibits on two floors and lots to see and do.

Then it was on to the fascinating Black Bear area. We observed from the vantage point of the top floor of a building, two black bears in their huge natural enclosure below. One was dozing and across the huge enclosed outdoor area, the other was walking around and seemed to be more interested in exploring than taking a nap. Again, seeing these animals up close is quite a fascinating experience.

Last on the tour was the raptor area with lots of information about owls and other raptors. Viewing was through large glass enclosures and it was quite something to see the creatures, ranging from Turkey Vultures to owl and others.

We walked over the pretty marsh boardwalk area and by a field and were soon back at the entrance. No visit is complete without a stop in the Howling Coyote Gift Shop, where we shopped for everything from books, stuffed animals, and so much more.

If you are visiting the Lakes Region for a vacation, no matter what your age, or if you are a year round resident like me who “just hasn’t been to the Science Center” in a while, I urge you to visit this summer or fall. Every time I return, I learn something new and see it all as if for the first time.

Megan commented that she has decided to make a trip to the Science Center an annual event. I suspect it is because it brings back so many fond childhood memories, as well a realization that although her little-kid days are past, she is never, ever too old to learn something new.

Another reason to visit this summer is a new exhibit called Dinosaurs Alive! It will feature five spectacular, gigantic, animatronic dinosaurs that look, move, and sound like the real thing – and one even spits! Visitors will be able to see the Dinosaurs Alive! exhibit for a limited time, from July 1 through September 30, in natural settings along the live animal exhibit trail. Dinosaurs Alive! is included in regular trail admission and free for members. Visit the T-Rex for a photo!

The Squam Lakes Natural Science Center is located on 23 Science Center Road in Holderness. It is open daily from May 1 through November 1, 9:30 am to 5 pm (last admission is at 3:30 pm). For information, call 603-968-

AmeriCorps Volunteers to help people ‘Soak up the Rain’!

Storm water contributes over 80 percent of the surface water quality impairments in New Hampshire.

There are many simple do-it-yourself solutions that can be implemented to reduce the amount of pollutants draining off properties from storm water into lakes, streams, and estuaries, such as planting rain gardens, using rain barrels, installing dripline trenches or infiltration steps.

This summer, Lake Winnipesaukee Association’s AmeriCorps members, Alison Baranovic and Gloria Norcross, are available to perform a free, onsite evaluation of storm water runoff problems and advise homeowners on how the problems can be remediated.

AmeriCorps service program that develops skills and experiences for conservation professionals. LRCCLWA AmeriCorps members will be working to enhance the Lake Winnipesaukee Association’s lake protection programs in three main areas: water quality monitoring, education and outreach, and lake management and implementation activities. Alison and Gloria will be serving with the Lake Winnipesaukee Association through October 26, 2019.

Alison is from Bethel, Connecticut and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Lafayette College. She developed an interest in conservation through her

coursework and completed an Honors Thesis on vernal pool conservation.

Gloria is from Lancaster, Pennsylvania and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Environmental Studies and a minor in Biology from Gettysburg College. She has had two experiences abroad, in Copenhagen, Denmark and Namibia, which strengthened her connection with the natural world and helped her realize she wanted to pursue conservation as a career.

The Lake Winnipesaukee Association is dedicated to protecting the water quality and natural resources of the lake and its watershed today and for our children tomorrow.

Treasure Shop in Wakefield to open for the summer on June 22 The Treasure Shop, located at the Old Town Hall on 2695 Wakefield Road in Wakefield, New Hampshire, will open for the summer on June 22. Open hours for the shop will be Wednesdays and Saturdays from 9 am to 12:30 pm. The popular Treasure Shop is located in the historic village of Wakefield Corner, which is also home to the Wakefield Library, the Wakefield Inn, and the First Congregational Church, United Church of Christ.

The Old Town Hall was built in 1837 and was used as the town hall until 1895 when the current town hall was built. The now vacant Old Town Hall was leased to the Ladies Social Circle (now the Parish Helpers) of the First Congregational Church and it has been leased to them ever since. For many years it was used as a meeting place for the women’s group and for dinners, fairs, and events for the church and the

town. When the church burned down as a result of a lightning strike in 1956, it was used for church services while the church was rebuilt.

In 1963, the Parish Helpers began having a Treasure Sale at the Old Town Hall on Wednesday afternoons. Thus, the Treasure Shop came into existence.

It has changed somewhat over the past 50-plus years: clothing and larger items are no longer sold in the shop, but you will find just about everything else from fine china and toys to small appliances and yarn! There’s a large selection of used books, curtains, jewelry, hardware and more.

The Treasure Shop is the primary fundraiser for the Parish Helpers.

From its beginning in 1857, the Parish Helpers has contributed primarily to the operation of the First Congregational Church, which it calls home. Over the course of the last 160 years, the Parish

Helpers has expanded its philanthropies and now donates to many other local and global charities as well.

Stop by this summer and see what treasures await you at the Treasure Shop. For information about the First

Congregational Church or the Parish Helpers, visit www.fccwakefieldnh. org or on Facebook at https://www. facebook.comFirstCongregationalChurchofWakefieldUCC/.

‘Cue The Grill Kid Friendly Grilling

By Chef Kelly Ross When it comes to summertime grilling, there are many options, menus, and themes to work with depending on the occasion. We have had some holidays and Bike Week lately, which always makes for fun grilling. We did BBQ thoughts for Mother’s Day, and again on Father’s Day. Even though my mom always told me “Every Day is Kids Day” I figured I would dedicate this article to some recipes for grilling for kids. I love teaching children how to enjoy cooking, and it doesn’t take long for them to broaden their taste bud horizons when they are personally invested in the process. Most kids love burgers and hot dogs off the grill, but there are many fun options on toppings, as well as pizza for that matter. However, we can’t forget about how kids also dig their desserts, and there are many fun ways of making this happen, and in a healthy way at times.

Whether on the backyard Barbie or out camping on a small grill over an open fire, there are so many ways to keep the next generation happy. Whenever cooking with children, always be responsible and make sure the kids aren’t too close to the fire, especially if it is a big fire.

I’m going to start with a couple of quick options for tweaks on their simple meal favorites, and then get into some very fun grillable desserts.

Here is a great way to cook hot dogs that we call Crosshatch Dogs. It’s a hot dog, which is lightly scored in a spiral formation from one end of the dog to

the other, than slightly marinated, and inserted with a wooden skewer and grilled. With the spiral cut, the final appearance is fun and interesting to many kids, and the marinade gives the dog a great flavor. Either eat off the skewer or pop into a grilled two (flat) sided New England Style Frankfurt roll, because let’s be serious, that type of roll is so much better than a hot dog roll. This recipe is for 4, so plan accordingly.

Crosshatch Dog 1 tsp honey ¼ cup ketchup 1 tbsp soy sauce ½ tsp veg oil 1 clove garlic, minced 4 hot dogs 4 wooden skewers, soaked in water for ½ hour Combine the first five ingredients until well blended. Score the hot dogs, skewer them, and put onto a plate.

Pour the sauce over the hot dogs and spin them in the sauce for a minute or two, which helps get some of the sauce into the dog where it has been scored.

Once ready to grill, put onto a greased grill on a medium heat and cook for a minute or 2 and turn them as needed until they are done. Tasty fun food indeed!

We all know kids love boxed Mac & Cheese. Another fun hot dog option is to grill a basic hot dog, grill the classic two-sided roll we just spoke of, and before adding the doggie to the roll, add mac and cheese to the bottom of the roll with a little ketchup and pop

the dog on top and watch how the simplest things ever can light up a face.

As for a couple of fun burger options for our smaller friends, I’m a huge fan of doing sliders with all the fixings on a plate so they can build their own burger. It’s fun to watch. I love using grilled Hawaiian dinner rolls, and also, you can use small chicken thighs or a cut down breast instead of a burger and barbecue, honey mustard, teriyaki, or use any sauce of choice. Kids love sliders, and they also like to see who can eat the most!

Tacos are also a kid winner on the grill. Season your ground beef with taco seasoning, then form into burgers, grill them and chop them up and serve with all the fixings. This can also be done with chicken by seasoning both sides of the boneless chicken, then cook and chop.

Now let’s talk about what kids really want: dessert! We have some fun and tasty options that will be enjoyed by all. Some are made with grilled fruit, some with chocolate, some with fresh berries, but all of them are delicious.

Most of these are “take offs” on dessert classics, and I don’t know any kid, or adult for that matter, that won’t be experiencing taste bud cartwheels.

Again, I think much of the charm of these are watching the kids’ faces as they help in the cooking process, not to mention these recipes are pretty simple. This first one takes about

50 minutes and serves 4, so pop the prepped apples on the grill before you actually eat dinner if you care to so the wait isn’t long between courses.

Grilled Apple Pie ala Mode 4 large apples, even in size, pick your favorite variety Cooking spray ½ cup brown sugar, plus an extra tbsp 6 tbsp salted butter, divided A few shakes of ground nutmeg ½ tsp ground cinnamon 4 graham crackers 4 scoops vanilla ice cream, or whipped cream if preferred 8 squares of aluminum foil Core the apples. With a paring knife, gently slice the apples into 6 equal sized wedges about ¾ of the way through the apple so the bottom is still intact. Put each apple on 2 squares of foil that are big enough to wrap around the apple (spray the top layer of foil well with cooking spray first). Before wrapping, put 1 tbsp of butter and 2 tbsp of brown sugar on top of each, and sprinkle with nutmeg and cinnamon. Wrap the foil up above the apple and wrap tightly/ fold to seal. On a preheated grill on a medium-high heat, stand the apples up, close the grill, and cook for about ½ hour or until tender. Remove and set aside. Continue to leave them in the foil. Brush both sides of the graham • ‘Cue the Grill Continued on page 21

June 17, 2019 | THE LAKER | Page 21 • ‘Cue the Grill Continued from page 20 crackers with the remaining butter, sprinkle evenly with the remaining brown sugar on both sides of each, and sprinkle with cinnamon. Grill them for about 2 minutes on each side so the crackers are lightly charred. Unwrap the apples, reserving the juices within, and place each into dessert bowls.

Drizzle the juice over the apple, break the crackers into bite size pieces over the top, and hit them immediately with ice cream.

Now let’s move on to a yummy Banana Split. There is no such thing as a bad grilled fruit, and a banana cooks up much quicker than an apple…one thing that will amaze the kids when watching the banana cooked on the grill is that it is done in the skin, and the skin will turn black. After grilling, out comes an incredible tasting banana that will make a great split. This is a recipe for 4 with a process that will take 20-25 minutes.

Banana Split 4 ripe bananas 1 ½ cups vanilla wafers 1 box vanilla pudding and the milk needed Frozen whipped topping Vanilla ice cream Choice of caramel sauce, chocolate sauce, and/or thawed frozen strawberries in juice 8 maraschino cherries Start by making the pudding and refrigerate. Make a cut on each banana from end to end on the inside, concave part of the banana, just enough to split the peeling. Peel it apart very slightly.

The bananas need to be grilled cut side up on a medium-high heat, so either use a grill basket, or as I often do, put 2 bricks on the grill and set the bananas side by side with bricks holding them up. Grill them uncovered until the banana is warmed through and the skin is mostly blackened. Take them off the grill and set aside on a plate or pan. Lay the vanilla wafers on the grill

in an organized single layer. Grill for 1-2 minutes on each side until slightly charred. In your desired Banana Split bowl or plate, peel each banana and put each into the dish. Pop in dollops of pudding evenly among the four, add ice cream, top with desired sauces, hit with whipped cream and top with cherries and dig right in.

This recipe for shortcake utilizes fresh strawberries and blueberries, but feel free to mix things up using whatever berries you prefer. Most shortcake is served cold, but not this one, other than the ice cream on top. I like to call this one Grilled Hobo Cake.

This one is set up for 4 and will only take 15 minutes or so.

Grilled Hobo Shortcake ½ lb fresh strawberries, halved, or quartered if large ½ lb blueberries 1 tsp finely grated lemon zest 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice ¼ cup sugar ¾ tsp cornstarch 2 tbsp unsalted butter, room temp Four 12-inch squares of thick aluminum foil, or 8 if the foil is thin Four ¾-inch thick slices of pound cake Vanilla ice cream or whipped topping/cream In a medium bowl, combine the berries, lemon zest and juice, sugar and cornstarch. Get the foil squares out and drop ¼ tsp of butter into the center of each, than evenly divide the berry mix over each pat of butter. Bring 2 opposite sides of the foil up and fold over each other to form a seam and than fold the other two over as well to seal. On a medium heat, grill the foil hobo packs for about 10 minutes, or until you hear the innards sizzle. With the remaining butter, butter both sides of each slice of pound cake and grill each side until lightly toasted. Put them on plates, unwrap the foil packs and dump over the pound cakes, and finish with ice cream or whipped cream. This is a fun and outstanding dessert dish.

Anyone familiar with grilled or

campfire desserts knows what a S’mores is, and wow, do I have a doozy of an alternative way to step things up.

This has all the usual suspects, but it is done pizza style. I’ve never met anyone who would say “no” to a S’mores, and I guarantee this version is better as far as I’m concerned. Although you could use real pizza dough, which I always use when making a traditional pie on the grill, I am a big fan of either a store-bought flatbread crust, or a large flour tortilla for this dessert classic.

Regardless, this is a Kid Favorite that will not disappoint. Like many grilled pizzas, this will work best if most of it is done over an indirect heat on the grill. This recipe is for 2 pizzas, using a couple of 10-12 inch crusts. Each pie will take about 5-10 minutes to prep and 10 more to cook.

S’mores Pizza Two 10 to 12-inch flatbread pizza crusts ½ tsp vegetable oil 1 cup coarsely crumbled graham crackers ¼ cup light brown sugar 3 tbsp granulated sugar 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened 1 tsp vanilla extract Pinch of salt Three 3 oz chocolate bars, broken into smaller pieces 1 ½ cup mini marshmallows Confectioner’s sugar for dusting

In a food processor, combine the crumbled graham crackers with sugars, butter, vanilla and salt and process to fine crumbs. Turn the grill to a medium heat on one side, and low on the other.

Have all of S’mores toppings close by to the grill. I strongly suggest making one pizza at a time or you could end up burning one. Lightly brush both sides of the flatbread, put it on the hot side of the grill for 1 minute or so, turn over, and do the same so both sides are lightly toasted. Slide it to the cooler side of the grill while turning the hot side down to low as well. Sprinkle half of the graham cracker mix over the top, half the chocolate, half the marshmallows and close the lid for a couple of minutes until the marshmallows and chocolate have mostly melted, but make sure you are checking on the bottom crust to make sure it isn’t burning. Depending on how hot your grill runs, you may need to turn the warm side off once you slide the crust over. Take off the grill, sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar, and cut. If making a second one, turn the left side of the grill back on to medium and repeat the process. Enjoy the yummy fun.

Give these recipes a try, get the kids involved in the process, and watch the happy faces of your youngsters. Next week I will be sharing some great menu ideas for grilling in foil packets.

“We Don’t Want to Go Home!”

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper the long journey to Plymouth, Alton, Laconia or Concord, New Hampshire Wails of “we don’t want to go home, we love camp!” were heard by boys and to be picked up by a handy man or other camp employee. You were committed girls over the decades as their week or month at a Lakes Region camp came and you stayed at camp whether you to a close. Before their stay at camp liked it or not.

However, many city kids quickly began, those who had never been away from home were resistant and tearful at grew to love summer camp and by the time it ended, most wished they could the notion of leaving their parents for a stay at a far-away summer camp. They stay even longer.

camps sprang up in the Lakes Region but it may have started when Ernest Balch and some friends set up a camp on Squam Lake in the summer of 1880.

Balch loved camping out so much that he decided to create a summer camp for boys, which would be called Camp Chocorua. He was also looking for some direction in his life, as he had left college and was uncertain what to do next. He is quoted as saying, “I first thought of the boys’ camp as an institution in 1880. The miserable condition of boys belonging to wellto-do families in summer hotels, considered from the point of view of their right development, set me to looking for a substitute.” In other words, Balch thought a summer camp would be a far superior experience versus keeping wealthy boys cooped up in a grand hotel where their parents spent the summer. Balch knew he would have to fund his summer camp, and the best way to do so was to cater to the wealthy.

The first summer camp, according to information in “Summer Camps - The White Mountains Root to an Iconic Experience” from an exhibit catalog at the Museum of the White Mountains, saw Balch welcoming six boys and two adults to Squam Lake’s

s n w o T e h t d n u o r A

Chocorua Island. It was a new idea the boys, although used to a life with servants - would now do the work, help build shanties, take part in cooking, cleaning up after themselves and live an outdoorsy life for the summer.

The camp was a success and soon others were setting up summer camps on Squam, Winnipesaukee, Newfound and other lakes. Some were Scouting camps, other religious in nature, and some simply provided a unique rural experience for city kids from wealthy families to enjoy the outdoors in the summer.

Camp Asquam for Boys in Holderness sprang up soon after Balch’s camp. It ran until around the time of the first World War and also had a winter camp from October to June and offered a three-week “vacation” at Christmas and another week at Easter. If you went to the winter camp, you would have to be prepared to endure the cold and snow, but you would learn some valuable winter skills and sports as well.

Not to be outdone by the male population, summer camps for girls caught on quickly. In 1900, Camp Redcroft for Girls opened on Newfound • Yesteryear Continued on page 23

Onaway has an interesting history.

According to historical information at www.camponaway.org, Onaway was established by Mrs. Henry (Mabel) Hollister in 1911. The name Onaway came from Longfellow’s epic poem, The Song of Hiawatha, which was about a return to nature. Mrs. Hollister wanted to form a camp where girls could commune with nature and have a spiritual experience. She was a forwardthinking trailblazer and wanted to make sure her camp girls were ready to vote when the time came, and to be able to speak for themselves. The camp ran under her leadership and that of other women over the years; in the 1960’s it became a non-profit educational trust.

City girls were also provided for when Laura Mattoon started one of the first camps for females in the United States: Camp Kehonka, in 1902 in Wolfeboro. For many years Kehonka was a complete summer camping experience for girls age 7 to 17. The first site for Kehonka was at Point Breeze in the Wolfeboro area. Mattoon rented a cottage there and offered a summer camp experience for six to eight girls. The camp later was moved to Beaver Brook where eight girls and Mattoon spent the summer.

Mattoon was known early on for her rather radical ideas about empowering girls and teaching them to think for themselves. It seems laughable today, but she was also known for her view that bloomers were adequate attire for girls in the out-of-doors!

Kehonka ran for many years, and offered swimming, sailing, canoeing, and mountain climbing. Also highly impressive was Kehonka’s dedication to bringing diverse arts and crafts to its girls. A. Cooper Ballentine, a founder of the League of NH Craftsmen, was involved with Kehonka, and because of

him arts and crafts were an important part of the camp.

Kehonka had weaving looms for the girls to use, some dating from the 1700’s as well as modern looms.

At Kehonka, the artistically inclined were as at home as sports-minded youngsters.

Campers stayed for eight weeks; in the 1950’s and 60’s girls could opt for a four-week stay instead. About 100 girls ages 12 to 17 and 50 girls age 7 to 12 were enrolled at the camp. They stayed in small cabins and tents by the water.

The first girls’ camp in the Squam Lake area was St. Catherine’s in the Mountains, and it ran from 1888 to 1897. The camp was run by the Sisters of the Community of Saint John and was associated with a diocesan school in New York.

Elsewhere in the Lakes Region, Camp Passaconaway (for boys) began on Lake Winnipesaukee’s Bear Island in 1911. Passaconaway was founded

by Wallace E. Richmond and Alfred W. Dickinson, and offered many activities, including swimming, canoeing, hiking, baseball and other sports. The camp had a main lodge, dining hall and other buildings. Campers’ quarters were simple wooden floors with roofs.

When it rained, canvas sides could be lowered; this style of lodging was later replaced with cabins.

Eighty boys were attending Passaconaway by 1918, and that presented certain logistical problems because the camp was without electricity at that time. According to “Bear Island Reflections” by the Bear Island Conservation Association, the owners of the camp solved the problem of food to accommodate the group by purchasing a small farm on Meredith Neck where fresh vegetables and milk were plentiful.

Other Lake Winnipesaukee camps enjoyed a sporting rivalry with Passaconaway in those days. Baseball teams from Camp Idlewild on Guernsey Island, Camp Tecumseh on

Moultonboro Neck and The Hill School Camp in Wolfeboro all competed with Passaconaway.

Passaconaway was damaged by the Hurricane of 1938 and forced to close.

In 1948 Colonel William Ellis bought the defunct camp with high hopes and big plans. Unfortunately, his business venture failed. Two years later it was bought by a Mr. Carlson, who made the camp co-ed and renamed it Camp Seneca. In 1952, a Laconia woman bought the camp and renamed it Nokomis. She ran it until 1962, when it was purchased by the Lawrence, Massachusetts YMCA. Camp Wicosuta, located on the shores of Newfound Lake, was started

by Anna Rothman as a girl’s camp in 1920. Anna may have had a similar goal as Laura Mattoon, which was to provide girls with an experience that highlighted the joys of the outdoor world. She was aware that by getting girls out of urban areas and into the natural environment surrounded by good role models, they would learn many of the lessons needed to thrive and prosper in the world.

Anna named the camp Wicosuta, which means “strength of mind and body” according to www. campwicosuta.com. The first year over 30 campers were enrolled and the tuition was not inexpensive. Campers stayed at the Newfound Lake location

from July to September. As was the case with most of the remote Lakes Region camps of the time, once a girl arrived, she stayed put at camp because the trip was arduous. If you lived in New York City, for example, you would travel on the Boston & Maine Railroad from New York’s Grand Central Terminal to Bristol, New Hampshire. Perhaps a maid or nanny would accompany you, but once you were at camp, the servant would return to the family home and you were officially a summer camper.

Girls learned to keep their beds made, and they helped out in all sorts of ways, while also enjoying sports, swimming, canoeing and all the joys of being outdoors in the country during the blissful summer months.

Summer camps endure today, and most carry on the original notion that it is a good thing for children to spend time away from home, to learn a bit of independence and thrive among their peers in an outdoor setting. The Lakes Region continues to be a Mecca for summer camps, and they are too numerous to list in one article.

Like the children of long ago, today’s campers may arrive feeling unsure and experience some homesickness at the outset, but by the end of their camp stay, it isn’t unusual to hear them tell friends and their camp counselors, “I love it here; I don’t want to go home!”

Quint-Essential Winds to perform as part of Wright Museum’s Lecture Series On Tuesday, June 25 from 7 to 8 pm, as part of the Wright Museum’s Lecture Series, woodwind quintet Quint-Essential Winds will perform a concert that honors American composers.

Clarinet player Robert Sinclair expressed enthusiasm for the event.

“I am especially excited about the quality and variety of the music we will be performing and that all of it was originally written by American composers,” he said.

The concert will include works

by American composers, such as Aaron Copland, Eric Ewazen, Alec Wilder, and more. In addition to six original pieces and four arrangements spanning from the 20th and 21st century, the event will

include a quiet Pastorale, a lively representation of a quick moving mountain stream.

“There will be what we consider to be some outstanding arrangements of famous orchestral works,” said Sinclair. “Combine all of this together, and you have something for everyone and every age.”

Musicians in the quintet include Marjorie Hogan, flute; Duane Bateman, oboe; Robert Sinclair, clarinet; Maria Isaak, bassoon; and Stephen Taylor, horn.

“We hope the audience will see the flexibility of a woodwind quintet and gain an appreciation for the variety of genres that can be

artistically presented to provide a high level of entertainment,” added Sinclair.

The Quint-Essential Winds: “Only in America” concert will be held in Wolfeboro Town Hall’s Great Hall on Tuesday, June 25. Doors open at 6:30 pm, and admission is $3 for members and $8 for non-members.

Seating is limited, and reservations can be made by calling 603-5691212.

Sponsored by Ron Goodgame and Donna Canney, the series takes place every Tuesday through the end of Wright Museum’s season, which concludes Oct. 31.

Keeping Our Lakes Healthy Symposium The Green Mountain Conservation Group (GMCG) invites the public to the Conservation Center on Wednesday, June 26 from 6 to 8 pm for the free and informative Keeping Our Lakes Healthy Symposium. The event is open to the public and attendance is strongly encouraged for lake front homeowners and members of local New Hampshire lake associations. Keynote speakers will include Amanda McQuaid, Public Beach Program Coordinator at the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services; Russ Lanoie,

private contractor and Licensed Septic Designer/Installer; GMCG’s Water Quality Coordinator, Jill Emerson, and Outreach Coordinator, Moselle Spiller.

To lighten the evening, GMCG will also offer a free “Septic Social” featuring hilarious septic themed snacks and beverages. (Yes, you read that correctly! Think yellow lemonade, chocolate pudding, brownies, and green “cyanobacteria” jello shots!)

The symposium is dedicated to educating the public on Best Management Practices (BMPs) for

Your Akashic Record

“Everything that has ever happened, is happening and can happen is recorded in the Akashic records. The existence of such energetic records has been known by people worldwide and is called by various other names such as “The Book of Life” in the Bible”. -Akemi G

improving water quality and reducing nutrient loading of phosphorus and nitrogen that contribute to harmful cyanobacteria blooms in the hot summer months. BMP’s include both proper septic management as well as landscaping techniques that control storm water run-off into water bodies.

Water Quality Coordinator, Jill Emerson, will present on GMCG’s expanded water quality monitoring program, which during the summer 2019, will be monitoring 15 sites around Lake Ossipee and its bays for E. coli and cyanobacteria.

Cyanobacteria is monitored by taking integrated samples one to three meters down at either shoreline location and/ or the deep spot of each lake, and then visually screening for known types as well as counting of cyanobacteria cells by microscope. E. coli screening is done by getting shoreline samples, typically done at popular swimming spots, by taking 100mL of water from knee depths and growing the samples on an indicator growth medium.

GMCG Outreach Coordinator Moselle Spiller will introduce “Project BMP” and share how you can participate. GMCG has been awarded a two-year Watershed Assistance grant by the EPA and NH DES to implement structural Best Management Practices

(BMPs) on properties around Ossipee Lake and its bays. BMPs protect shared water resources through the reduction of pollutant loads, and storm water run-off using structural designs such as rain gardens, vegetated buffers, swales, retention walls, and retaining basins. BMPs help to mitigate the amount of phosphorus and nitrogen found in sandy soils that, when combined with hot sunny weather, acts as nutrients exacerbating algae blooms and harmful cyanobacteria. A BMP Steering Committee made up of residents from the towns of Effingham, Freedom, and Ossipee will meet every two months to guide the project and ensure a successful outcome. Meetings will include discussions with a hired engineer who will essentially be drafting the BMP designs, doing a group review of BMP designs, having facilitated discussions about water quality on Ossipee Lake and how to get more folks in the lake community on board with BMPs. If you are interested in being on the BMP Steering Committee or just attending one or two meetings, email info@gmc.org.

The Keeping Our Lakes Healthy Symposium on June 26 from 6 to 8 pm is free and open to the public. Meet at the Blue Heron House at 236 Huntress Bridge Road, Effingham.

Charm and Beauty Abound on Upcoming Hospice House Tour Two unique and different homes, both built with downsizing in mind, will be featured on this year’s Central New Hampshire VNA & Hospice Annual Home and Garden Tour on Wednesday, July 10 from 10 am to 4 pm. Located on a quiet tree-lined street and just a year young, the design and end product of the first home was a family affair.

The combination of a daughter’s interior design expertise, a mother’s unique sense for combining old and new, and a father’s interest in the building process, resulted in the creation of a showcase home. Charm abounds throughout the home from the moment you step inside until you leave. Ten-foot-high ceilings, shiplap walls and unique pieces are found throughout the open-concept living room, dining area and kitchen.

The second home is located on Wolfeboro Bay behind one of the town’s most beloved bakeries. Built in the 1930’s, the three-season cottage fell into disrepair, but in 2016 the new owners, realizing its potential, decided to rebuild and turned it into their fulltime home. Not only did they rebuild,

they turned it into a showcase home.

New windows, new appliances, granite counter tops, hardwood flooring and lighting fixtures were added. A large outdoor patio with blue stone and a rock wall was constructed to maximize the outdoor living possibilities and the spectacular view of the bay.

These are just two of the homes that are featured on this year’s tour.

In addition, there is a classic Colonial circa 1795 and a hilltop retreat with panoramic views of the Belknap Mountains. Tickets for the tour are $40 and may be purchased at Black’s Paper and Gift Store at 8 South Main Street in Wolfeboro, online at www.centralvna. org/donate or by calling 1-800-2448549. There is also an optional $15 luncheon ticket. This year’s luncheon will be held at The Barn at the Inn on Main from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm.

Luncheon tickets must be purchased in advance.

All proceeds from the tour benefit the hospice program. Hospice provides care and support to individuals who have a life-threatening illness. Care

is provided to individuals and their families with an emphasis on quality of life, comfort, dignity and respect. It is a team approach to care, emphasizing physical, emotional and spiritual support. For more information about

the hospice program of Central New Hampshire VNA & Hospice, contact 603-524-8444 or at www.centralvna. org.

Advice To The Players Studio Series Features New Playwrights Advice To The Players, Sandwich’s Shakespeare Company, is opening up their 2019 Studio Series with John Minigan’s Breaking the Shakespeare Code, on July 6 at 7:30 pm at The Arts Center at 12 Main Street in Sandwich, New Hampshire.

A tale of growth and odd pairings, Breaking the Shakespeare Code is the story of two people who meet three times over their lives to discuss what it takes to act Shakespeare, to compete in the theatrical world, as well as the oddities of being human and learning from each other. Playwright John Minigan will be in attendance at the reading and will participate in a Q&A afterward.

Minigan is a 2019-2020 Massachusetts Cultural Council Artist Fellow in Dramatic Writing. His plays have been developed with the Orlando Shakespeare Theater, Portland Stage Company, New Repertory Theater, the New American Playwrights Project, and the Great Plains Theatre Conference. Queen of Sad Mischance is a 2019 winner of the Clauder Competition and a 2018 O’Neill Finalist. His work has been included in the Best American Short Plays, Best Ten-Minute Short Plays, and New England New Plays anthologies. He is a past winner of the Nantucket Short Play Contest, the Rover Dramawerks Competition, the Longwood 0-60

Contest, Seoul Players Contest, and the KNOCK International Short Play Competition. John is a Dramatists Guild Ambassador for Eastern New England.

Join ATTP for the Studio Series, Saturdays at 7:30 pm this summer: July 6 - Breaking The Shakespeare Code, by John Minigan July 27 - Bearings, by John Gardiner August 17 - Thy Will, by Timothy Mooney August 24 - A Midsummer Night’s Nightmare, by Luke Haskell August 31 - Noir Hamlet The 2019 Studio Series consists of five readings offered throughout the summer that are directed and read

by ATTP’s exceptional company and then offered to the community by donation. Most of the readings in the 2019 series are Shakespeare by nature to celebrate the 20th anniversary of producing the Bard’s work in New Hampshire. Happening on Saturdays at 7:30 pm, these readings are an opportunity to workshop in-progress work, which means the audience is invited to stay after the reading for a Q&A session to share their responses directly with the playwright in most circumstances.

Keep an Eye Out for Loons Nesting Throughout New Hampshire Loon Preservation Committee’s Loon Cam Pair Still on Nest The Loon Preservation Committee (LPC) recorded its first pair of nesting loons this year on May 18. Since then, over 35 pairs have begun incubating their eggs, with more expected in the next week.

The peak time for loons to begin nesting is usually in early June.

Loons incubate their eggs for 26 to 28 days, and many loon chicks hatch just before the Fourth of July holiday.

Nesting loons and loon chicks are vulnerable to disturbance as human activities increase on lakes, so the Loon Preservation Committee asks boaters to take the following precautions to help protect loons and ensure a good breeding year in New Hampshire: • Remain at least 150 feet (no wake distance) from a nesting loon or more if the loon shows any signs of distress such as craning its neck low over a nest. When threatened by the close approach of humans, loons assume this head-down position and may flush from the nest into the water, leaving their eggs vulnerable to overheating, cooling, or predation.

• If boaters inadvertently cause a loon to flush from the nest, leave the area immediately to let the loon return to incubate its eggs.

• Remain at least 150 feet from loons in the water, especially if the adults have chicks with them.

If separated from their parents by boaters, loon chicks become vulnerable to predators.

In 2018, Loon Preservation Committee biologists recorded 226 pairs of nesting loons in New Hampshire,

A common loon incubates its eggs. Loons will be nesting on New Hampshire lakes and ponds throughout June and into July in New Hampshire.

an increase of 24 nesting pairs from the previous year. This increase was the result of several new loon territories being established, including both new territories on large lakes that already had at least one other pair of nesting loons and expansion onto previously unoccupied lakes.

Of the 226 nesting pairs, 47 nested on rafts—artificial islands that LPC floats to help loons cope with water level fluctuations, predation, and lack of suitable natural breeding sites. A total of 114 nesting pairs were protected with signs and rope lines, which help to ensure that boaters give nesting loons enough space.

Anyone wanting to observe nesting loons without putting the nest at risk by getting too close can do so at the Loon Preservation Committee’s LIVE loon cam at www.loon. org. The loon cam pair started nesting on May 24 and is expected to hatch between June 22 and June 24.

Highlights from the webcam can

be viewed on the Loon Preservation Committee’s YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/ LoonCenter).

Loons are a threatened species in New Hampshire and are protected

from hunting or harassment by state and federal laws. If you see a sick or injured loon, please call the Loon Preservation Committee (603-4765666). If you observe harassment of loons, please contact the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department (603-271-3361) or Marine Patrol (603-293-2037) for assistance.

The Loon Preservation Committee monitors loons throughout the state as part of its mission to restore and maintain a healthy population of loons in New Hampshire; to monitor the health and productivity of loon populations as sentinels of environmental quality; and to promote a greater understanding of loons and the natural world. To learn more about loons in New Hampshire, please visit the Loon Preservation Committee at www. loon.org or call 603-476-5666.

Blockbuster Summer Season Set at the Winnipesaukee Playhouse Buffalo. Chicago. San Francisco and Beverly Hills. Coast to coast, from shimmering pond to quirky cityscapes, the six summer productions at the Winnipesaukee Playhouse take you on a grand tour from your seat in their Meredith theatre. Popular musicals, prize-winning dramas, hilarious comedies, and a full company of professionals all take center stage to offer audiences superb entertainment and thought-provoking experiences from June into September.

Academy Award winner, noted director, and actor Ernest Thompson takes the lead with a new production of his popular On Golden Pond. As director, Thompson will be revisiting the celebrated play he wrote decades earlier, with the intent of deconstructing it; stripping it down to its original intent this time from the inside out.

And in portraying Norman, Thompson says, “I consider it an honor to follow in the footsteps of thousands of actors who have preceded me.” Joining him in the cast are Lisa Bostnar as Ethel, Anna Rock as Chelsea, Adam Kee as Bill Ray, Landon Shaw as Charlie, and Cody Hodgins as Billy Ray. The show runs through June 22.

Ken Ludwig’s Moon Over Buffalo is a fast-paced frolic and farce that delivers the uproarious fun truth that much of the drama of theatre is behind the scenes. Especially when you combine fading thespians with ingenues, agents, roués, and a bit of misbegotten swordplay designed to wow a Hollywood director who may – or may not – arrive. Performances will be from June 26 through July 6 (no performance on July 4).

The multiple Tony-winning musical Avenue Q will transport you to a decidedly quirky quarter where musical characters explore the dynamics of what it means to be a neighbor...and puppets hold sway. Do not expect the sweet and goofy rhymes of childhood: these puppets swear, have noisy sex, and still endear themselves to audiences despite foul language and adult situations. Funny and frank and full of good humor: decidedly not your children’s Sesame Street. The play runs from July 11 through July 20.

Chicago, the blockbuster musical, comes to the Lakes Region – which is the only place in all New England you can see this award-winner north

The Winnipesaukee Playhouse continues their ‘Made in America’themed year with productions scheduled through December. Visit www.winnipesaukeeplayhouse.org for complete information and tickets, or phone 603-279-0333.

The award-winning, non-profit Winnipesaukee Playhouse offers year round professional, educational and community theatre.

“The Grand Hotels of the White Mountains” Exhibit is Open Comprehensive exhibit features photography, artwork, artifacts, speakers and special events The Museum of the White Mountains at Plymouth State University (PSU) marked the opening of its new exhibit recently. The Grand Hotels of the White Mountains explores the origins, development, and history of New Hampshire’s grand resort hotels through paintings, photographs, artifacts, and stories of the people who visited and worked at these gracious establishments.

Special focus for the exhibition is the four surviving hotels: the Omni Mount Washington Resort, Mountain View Grand Resort & Spa, Eagle Mountain House & Golf Club, and The Wentworth Hotel.

“Last summer we celebrated the White Mountain National Forest, and this year we are thrilled to bring to life the rich history of the grand hotels that sprang up throughout the region in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, drawing the nation’s wealthiest families to New Hampshire,” said Cynthia Robinson, Director of the Museum of the White Mountains. “Entering the exhibit, one is transported to another time, and can experience the ‘grand hotel’ through the eyes of a guest, or perhaps a hotel worker, while learning the history of the grand hotel period and its significance to our state.”

Co-curated by Robinson and Bryant Tolles, The Grand Hotels of the White

Mountains exhibit also features a speaker series, special events and a mobile promotional display throughout the summer of 2019.

During the golden age of the Grand Resort Hotels in the White Mountain region, between 1880 and 1910, there were approximately 30 hotels that could be considered “Grand,” meaning those that provided room for 200 guests, with elegantly styled dining rooms, parlors, and lobby spaces, incorporating recreational activities and events targeting an elite class of tourists. These gracious establishments cultivated exclusive worlds apart where the honored guests could truly recreate themselves. The exhibit also illuminates New Hampshire’s White Mountains as a case study for the American Plan hospitality model, where patrons paid one price for room, meals, activities and amenities – the precursor to today’s ‘all inclusive’ model.

The exhibit also includes video reflections of people who are intimately familiar with the Grand Hotels through a special partnership with New Hampshire Public Television.

The Museum of the White Mountains will host a speaker series and other events throughout the summer.

Information about The Grand Hotels of the White Mountains, including a schedule of events, is available at www. plymouth.edu/mwm/exhibitions.

Vintage and Rock bands coming to Flying Monkey in June Jefferson Starship’s summer tour will stop at The Flying Monkey in Plymouth on Saturday, June 22 at 7:30 pm. Known as psychedelic rock pioneers, their music helped define a generation and spanned the decades.

Jefferson Starship rose from the ashes of legendary psychedelic rock group Jefferson Airplane. They were among the most successful arena rock bands of the 1970’s and early 1980’s, and an even greater commercial entity than its predecessor. The band went through several major changes in personnel and genres through the years while retaining their name. The current lineup is a nod to the Airplane days and their 70’s sound.

The band has toured for years with its hits Volunteers, White Rabbit, Wooden Ships, Somebody to Love, Crown of Creation, Miracles, Count on Me, Jane, Find Your Way Back and many more.

The band now features original and historic members like Freiberg (also a founder of San Francisco luminaries Quicksilver Messenger Service) and drummer Donny Baldwin, along with longtime members Chris Smith on keyboards and synth bass, Jude Gold on lead guitar and GRAMMY Nominee Cathy Richardson anchoring the female lead vocal spot. Between 1974 and 1984, Jefferson Starship released eight gold and platinum albums, had 20 hit singles and sold-out concerts worldwide and lived out legendary rock and roll escapades.

Since boarding Jefferson Airplane in 1972, David Freiberg has remained a band fixture and continues to carry the torch with Jefferson Starship. To him the music is just as real as it has always been and he has no desire to stop anytime soon. “When I joined Jefferson Airplane I said, ‘oh boy, I

get to sing some of these songs!’ It’s wonderful because I was a friend with them anyway and so it was just great to sing the three-part harmony songs with Paul and Grace and the rest of it was just magnificent. Everybody would come up with these great songs.”

Postmodern Jukebox brings new music with an old style to The Flying Monkey on Sunday, June 23 at 7:30 pm. Originally a YouTube sensation, Scott Bradlees’s band is now an international sensation.

The seeds of Postmodern Jukebox (PJM), a retro musical group that uploads throwback versions of current pop hits on YouTube and then releases them as albums on iTunes, were sown in the mid-1990’s when Scott Bradlee, still a student at North Hunterdon High School, decided to transform modern songs his friends were listening to into ragtime jams.

“My friends were all listening to hip-hop or pop or rock, so I would take songs by somebody like Sublime, and put it in the styles that I loved and just play it on the piano for them. It was like a fun party trick. Years later, as a musician living in New York City, I formed Postmodern Jukebox as a way to bring the classic sounds I loved back into the mainstream, and to build a platform to celebrate real, unadulterated, deserving talent,” says Bradlee.

Postmodern Jukebox has amassed over one billion YouTube views with 3.5 million subscribers, and chalked up more than 1.7 million

fans on Facebook. For the past halfdecade, PMJ has toured the world, playing hundreds of shows to soldout houses on six continents. They’ve also performed on shows like “Good Morning America,” topped iTunes and Billboard charts, and caught the attention of NPR Music, NBC News and a wide array of celebrity fans.

To usher in the upcoming decade, the famed time-twisting musical collective will circumnavigate the globe in 2019 on their Welcome to the Twenties 2.0 Tour. The tour is meant to prepare the world for a new decade - one that Bradlee hopes will see a return to the style and craftsmanship that typified the music of past generations.

“Since Postmodern Jukebox performed its first show, our family has grown to include nearly 50 singers and another 50 instrumentalists, all of whom now have the opportunity to perform the classic genres they love for the audiences that appreciate them. The vocalists sing every note live, without any tuning help. The musicians make every sound you hear on stage, with the instruments you see them playing.

That doesn’t matter to everyone, but it matters to us and I believe it matters to our fans. We do it the old-fashioned way and we love every second of it,” says Bradlee.

For more information on upcoming shows or to purchase tickets for the concerts, call the Flying Monkey box office at 603-536-2551 or to www. flyingmonkeyNH.com.

Pickering House in Wolfeboro named to National Register of Historic Places The New Hampshire Division of Historical Resources has announced that the Pickering House in Wolfeboro has been honored by the United States Secretary of the Interior with placement on the National Register of Historic Places.

A connected building comprised of a main dwelling (ca. 1813), two ells (ca.

1843 and 1870) and a large barn (ca.

1813), Pickering House has evolved from a Federal-era tavern to its current appearance with Greek Revival and Italianate detailing. The building takes its name from Daniel Pickering, whose family owned the property from the time his brother John built it until 1910 when Pickering’s grandchildren sold it.

Settled in the late 18th century, Wolfeboro began as an agricultural community whose businesses included blacksmiths, shoemakers, tanners and shipbuilders. For 200 years, its mills manufactured products mainly based on the timber industry, including lumber, excelsior and tool handles.

Wolfeboro’s other major industry

The property today with its recently-completed renovation. It serves as an inn and event venue. has been tourism. The town lays claim to be “the Oldest Summer Resort in America” based on the farm Gov. John Wentworth built in 1766 on what is now known as Lake Wentworth.

Both a merchant and a manufacturer, Pickering owned a woolen and satinet mill as well as a gristmill and tannery that supplied leather for his shoe business. He owned much of the land on either side of South Main Street, developing some for business purposes and donating others for civic use.

Pickering was the town’s first

Can invasive species be beneficial for wildlife?

By Emma Erler, Education Center Program Coordinator New Hampshire has a relatively long list of invasive plant species. The majority of backyards and roadsides have a least a couple of different invasive plants represented. It is well known that invasive species reduce biodiversity by outcompeting native plants and animals for resources. They are better competitors because they emerge earlier in the spring, grow rapidly, and are impacted by few, if any, natural predators. When invasive plants are allowed to grow unchecked, many native plants and the wildlife species that rely upon them suffer.

However, invasive plants can provide some benefits to some species. Invasive species such as autumn olive, oriental bittersweet, and honeysuckle produce fruit that is relished by a handful of fruiteating bird species. In fact, planting autumn olive was once encouraged as a means of creating wildlife habitat before it was realized that the shrub has the ability to spread quickly on its own.

The birds that eat the fruit of invasive plants benefit from having an abundant food source in the fall and winter, which increases their survival. Invasive plants

can also serve as a source of pollen and nectar for a variety of insect species.

Many bees will readily forage on invasive plants like Japanese knotweed or spotted knapweed.

So, should we be leaving invasive plants in our landscapes or eliminating them? While invasive plants do benefit a few species, they are a detriment to many more. Even though frugivorous bird populations may grow in response to an increased number of food resources, many other species suffer from habitat loss. If you are concerned that removing the invasive plants from your property will eliminate food for the wildlife in your backyard, consider replacing them with native plants. There are a tremendous number of native trees, shrubs, and perennials that bloom and produce fruit late in the season, are enjoyed by wildlife, and do not take over natural areas.

postmaster and helped found the town’s first secondary school and first Congregational Church. He also was appointed secretary to the school that eventually became Brewster Academy.

Pickering served on several boards, including the Winnipesaukee Steamboat Company, which built the “Lady of the Lake” steamboat that was designed for commercial lake travel in 1849.

Administered by the National Park Service, which is part of the U.S. Department of the Interior, the National Register of Historic Places is the nation’s official list of historical resources worthy of preservation and is part of a national program to coordinate and support public and private efforts to identify, evaluate and protect our

historic and archaeological resources.

Listing to the National Register does not impose any new or additional restrictions or limitations on the use of private or non-federal properties.

Listings identify historically significant properties and can serve as educational tools and increase heritage tourism opportunities. In New Hampshire, listing to the National Register makes applicable property owners eligible for grants such as the Land and Community Heritage Investment Program or LCHIP (lchip.org) and the Conservation License Plate Program (nh.gov/nhdhr/grants/moose).

For more information on the National Register program in New Hampshire, please visit nh.gov/nhdhr or contact the

New Hampshire’s Division of Historical Resources, the State Historic Preservation Office, was established in 1974 and is part of the N.H. Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.

Boating on the Lakes Sweet Music on (or near) the Water

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper Photos Tuftonboro Summer Concerts at the Pavilion, Courtesy Gina Lessard What could be better than an outdoor summer concert on a balmy evening? When the concert is on or near the water, you can arrive by boat, making the experience pure magic. If the concert is a short walk from boat docking, you can avoid parking and traffic by arriving via boat and strolling to a concert.

In the pretty town of Tuftonboro, the popular Summer Concert Series at the Pavilion takes place at 6:30 pm, weather permitting during July and August. The concerts are presented

in the pavilion by the town beach and many concert goers dock their boats offshore.

The free concerts also offer a concession with burgers, hotdogs, ice cream and drinks. For a minimal charge you can have dinner while listening to the music, provided by the Tuftonboro Parks and Recreation Department. Spread out a blanket on the beach or bring a lawn chair and sit back and enjoy the music. Because the concert series takes place near the waterfront, you can also choose to stay on your boat and take in the music from the lake.

This year’s lineup includes: July 11
