Fourth of July Celebrations Around the Lakes Region

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper The Fourth of July is fun. Adults love it and so do kids. Whether you are celebrating the holiday from your Lakes Region boat, deck, cottage or year-round home, this is the place to be for fireworks, parades and concerts for good, old-fashioned fun! Celebrate the birth of our country at these fun events.

Wolfeboro’s Independence Day celebrations begin with a big parade on Sunday, July 4 at 1 pm on Main Street.

It will follow its traditional route with floats forming at Lake View Terrace and then marching down Main Street to Clark Road. Main Street will be closed to traffic and parking starting at noon. For the safety of the parade and spectators, Wolfeboro Police will block off those streets that intersect Main Street.

Wolfeboro Police Chief Dean Rondeau, in his police vehicle, will lead the parade. A police car will also be the trail vehicle. The Wolfeboro Fire-Rescue Department will have emergency medical stations along the parade route as well as a gator available to move anyone requiring medical transportation.

The theme of this year’s Wolfeboro th 4 of July Parade is “Strength through Adversity!” Due to time constraints and the desire to minimize crowding, the parade will be limited in size to the first 50 applicants.

Fireworks light up the sky on July 2 at 9:30 pm over the lake, immediately following a free band concert in Cate

Park. Call 603-569-2200 for details and other holiday events in Wolfeboro or visit www.wolfeborochamber.com/ events.

If you like shiny, bright and older cars, plan to attend the first annual Wolfeboro Lions Club Car Show on Saturday, July 3, from 11 am to 2 pm at The Nick, located at 10 Trotting Track Road, Wolfeboro. Spectators will see vintage and custom vehicles on display that promise a little car envy! The event is free and open to the public, and the Lions Club invites owners of antique cars to showcase their 1975 and older vehicles in a fun, non-judged, no classes show. This is a show-andshine event, and pre-registration is not required. However, those wishing to enter a vehicle should arrive prior to 10:30 am on July 3 for placement.

Concessions will be available for purchase from the Lions Club, as well

as a 50/50 raffle to benefit The Lions Club Charitable fund. As a special treat the Girl Scouts of Maine Troop #2271 will be on hand with Girl Scout Cookies (while supplies last) and SnoCones.

The Nick Recreation Park, home of the Car Show, offers fun for the whole family with plenty of parking, a playground, ADA accessible building with restroom facilities and outdoor covered seating, a dog park, athletic fields and walking track. Please follow all safety protocols and rules while on the Nick property. For more information on the Car Show, contact Gina Lessard at ginalessard.nh@ gmail.com. Donations are gratefully accepted.

Ossipee will hold a fun Fourth of July celebration, starting with a band concert on July 2 in Constitution Park. On July 3 there will be a

corn hole tournament and food in Constitution Park on Long Sands Rd. The 4th of July parade takes place on July 4 at 10 am, followed by festivities in Constitution Park starting at 5 pm. At around 9 pm, fireworks will light up the sky at the park. For details visit www.ossipee. org.

The Center Harbor Town Band will not be performing on the 4th of July prior to the fireworks display, but the band will perform on other evenings during the summer. The concerts kick off on July 16 with a 6 pm rehearsal and a 7 pm concert. Other shows will be at the town bandstand in July and August; visit www. centerharbornh.org and go to the Town Band Concert Schedule page.

Many people say that Ashland has the best fireworks display around. On July 3, eat your fill at the Annual Pancake Breakfast fundraiser starting at 7 am at The Common Man on Main Street in Ashland. The parade starts at 10 am in the downtown area and ends at the town’s ball field. There will be a Touch a Truck event and flag raising in the field after the parade.

Richie Clyne’s Bungalow Bar Ice Cream Truck

By Rosalie Triolo Photos courtesy Richie Clyne Remember back to those summer days in the 1950s and 1960s, when as a child, you eagerly waited for the clanking bells which would herald the approach of the ice cream truck?

Richie Clyne has fond memories of growing up on Long Island, New York, and the Bungalow Bar Ice Cream Truck. The “Ice Cream Man” used to come through the streets of New York City and its boroughs once - and sometimes twice - a day.

Clyne recalls, “I loved Bungalow Bar Ice Cream but most of all the truck with its picket fence door, and the brown shingled roof with a chimney that actually had smoke coming out.”

Clyne recounts a story, “Years ago I had been looking for a Bungalow Bar Truck to restore, and I found one still in use belonging to an ice cream man out on Northport, Long Island, NY. Wanting to buy the truck, I spoke with him several times. Each time he told me he was leaving it to his son.”

Twenty years ago, Clyne received a call from the ice cream man’s son, asking if he was still interested in the truck. Clyne acquired the 1957

Chevrolet three-quarter ton truck with Bungalow Bar Ice Cream body; selfcontained with compressor on board which had been used until 2000.

For many years now, when residents celebrate Tuftonboro Old Home Days, Clyne dresses in his Ice Cream Man attire, then arrives at Davis Field on Rt. 109A next to the Tuftonboro Elementary School in his white

As a young boy, Clyne was (and still is) a passionate antique and classic car enthusiast. He said, “My father always wanted an old car to restore.

When I was 12, I found a ‘For Sale’ ad for a 1930 Model A Ford. Borrowing money from my parents, we drove to Maryland with a trailer to pick up the car. What seemed like a million pieces covered the floor of my parent’s onecar garage. I slowly began putting the pieces together, restoring my first car.

If I needed help with a door hinge, I’d run inside and ask my father what parts I would need. He’d tell me and I’d run back out to the garage and hunt for the pin or other pieces to complete the assembly.”

Clyne has been extremely successful with many noteworthy accomplishments. There is one which deserves particular attention and acknowledgement. With his knowledge and expertise for restoring

antique and classic cars, Clyne, in the early 1990s, was instrumental in initiating a program for inmates at the Nevada State Prison in Indian Springs, Nevada. Inmates, who didn’t necessarily have prior mechanical experience, were trained in the art of antique and classic car restoration. He interviewed them finding the “right fit” for those men who were interested in and willing to learn the many aspects of the restoration process. Clyne paid them the Federal Minimum Wage, a segment of which was repaid to the Federal Government towards their housing and board while in prison. A portion of those wages were deposited into a savings account for each inmate for when they returned to their lives on the outside. He also set up a Victims Crime Fund where a percentage of the wages were distributed. Those inmates fortunate enough, reliable, and trustworthy were given an opportunity to become employable at a trade they could use when released.

Also, the inmates at the Nevada State Prison meticulously and effectively helped with the restoration of a 1934 Diamond T Fire Truck. (The Diamond T Company which produced cars and trucks was founded in 1905 by C. A Tilt in Chicago.) During its years in service, from 1934 until 1963, the Diamond T Fire Truck responded to small fires around the Federal penitentiary on Alcatraz Island, also known as “The Rock.” Today Alcatraz is a museum, and part of the National Park Services Golden Gate National Recreation Area.

On museum tours, visitors are given a look at how the restored 1934 Diamond T Fire Truck pumps water.

Funky Sounds Coming to Cate Park on July 3 The opening concert of the Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand Saturday night concert series is definitely going to bring the energy!

The new concert season, the first since 2019, kicks off on Saturday, July 3, with Lestah Polyestah taking the bandstand on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee.

Lestah Polyestah is a new iteration of the band previously known as Bling Cherry and performs at parties, clubs, weddings, ski resorts and bars

throughout New England. The band brings a funky old-school sound, plenty of dancing and lots of laughing and good times to the show each time they take the stage.

The band consists of a core lineup as well as many supporting players who swing in and out of the band to help make the gigs work.

Mittens is the band’s lead vocalist and in addition to her excellent skiing skills on the mountains of New England, she

100,000 fans and parking areas with the capacity to accommodate approximately 65,000 cars. If fans are staying at one of the hotels on the Strip, there are transfers from the hotel to the complex. And in keeping with one of the notable reasons couples visit Last Vegas, a Wedding Chapel was added to the facility. Two years later, Clyne sold Las Vegas Motor Speedway to Speedway Motorsports.

In the year 1981, The Imperial Palace, Las Vegas, Nevada added a new attraction, “The Auto Collection,” an Antique and Classic Auto Collection.

Eighteen years later, Clyne and his partner, Don Williams, were given the opportunity to direct operations and management of the museum offering vehicles for sale or trade.

For many years Clyne has maintained a repair shop in Melvin Village, NH, a Mecca for antique/classic car aficionados. He returns in early summer after having spent months of traveling from city to city attending car shows and auctions, and in some instances internationally to buy, restore, sell and at times to rebuy and resell antique or classic cars. During the winter months Clyne resides in Las Vegas where he stores and shows his cars, as he likes to call them, his “Stable of Cars.” He affectionately remarked, “Every car has a different story. I love them all.”

Nevada is the Goldfield Firehouse Museum owned by Richie Clyne and Buck Kamphousen. On display are antique fire equipment and memorabilia and a restored 1926 Ford Model T Calliope, and an original Goldfield Fire Truck #3 and several other noteworthy historic fire engines and ambulances.

In the early 1900s, gold was discovered in Goldfield. The era of the “Mining Boom” took hold. Population increased. Goldfield became the largest city in Nevada and the Goldfield Firehouse was built. Between1923 and 1924, two devastating fires rampaged through Goldfield, leaving it in ruins.

Fortunately, the firehouse was built of locally quarried ashlar stone and is still standing over these 100 plus years. The Goldfield Historic Fire Department is now classified as part of the Goldfield Historic District and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Las Vegas, 1996, was the opening of the Las Vegas Motor Speedway 15 miles northeast of the Las Vegas Strip. Imaginative and resourceful, Clyne founded and helped create a race car track designed in the shape of a Colosseum with the façade resembling a casino. Seating configuration is defined by the names of the various Las Vegas hotels with seats for over

East Coast Cowboy is the band’s guitarist and brings an unpredictable mix of crushing it every night, along with a horse whip and dusty boots to augment his improvised solos on the guitar.

Double Nickels brings funky bass lines and a big low end to Lestah Polyestah, filling up the dance floor with people who are determined to relive spring break memories.

Helicoptah is the keyboard player for the band and is equally adept at being subdued when the music calls for something chill and setting the night on fire with crazy solos.

Ampersand is the band’s drummer, laying down funky drum beats and an intensity that keeps the band’s sound pushing forward every show.

choice to the band along with wild, unpredictable horn parts that were once featured in Bling Cherry.

Eight Track is the guy who makes it all work, setting up sound systems, mics and lights before the show starts to help deliver a complete sound experience for audience members.

The Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand summer concerts take place each Saturday night in July and August in the bandstand, which is located in Cate Park in downtown Wolfeboro. The concerts start at 7 pm and run for two hours, with a short intermission. The concerts are free, but a pass-the-bucket collection is taken at intermission to help support the concert series.

In the event of bad weather, check the Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand Facebook page and signs will also be posted at the entrance to the park.

Rail Bike Adventures Opens for the 2021 Season For nearly 35 years, the Hobo & Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad has offered scenic train rides “along New Hampshire’s lakes and through the White Mountains”. Beginning on Friday, June 25, all that changes. The railroad is pleased to announce the opening of Rail Bike Adventures – the Lakes Region’s newest three-season family attraction!

Guests of all ages will have an opportunity to experience the beauty and history of New Hampshire’s Lakes Region as they join friends and family pedaling state-of-the-art, fourperson Rail Bikes along a rail line that dates back to the mid 1800s. As an added bonus, the guided tours will begin and end at the historic Laconia Railroad Station at 15 Veterans Square in Laconia, NH which was built for the Concord and Montreal Railroad in 1892.

The planned route will take riders past the site of the former Laconia Car Company, which built rail cars from 1848 to 1928, over a trestle bridge, then over Durkee Brook before arriving at the shore of Lake Winnisquam - New Hampshire’s fourth largest lake. The terrain rail bike riders will travel along the approximate 5-mile round-trip route which is primarily flat and the guided rides are both enjoyable and scenic.

At the mid-point of each guided tour, riders will have an opportunity to step off their rail bikes, stretch their legs a bit or relax on log benches sharing

Adventures, located at 15 Veterans Square in Laconia, NH, began on Friday, June 25.

For more information, call 603-7452135 or visit www.HoboRR.com/railbike-adventures/.

The Hobo Railroad and the Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad are privately owned with operations in Lincoln, Meredith, and Weirs Beach, NH. As one of the Northeastern United DECKING States largest and most popular tourist railroads, weekend operations begin in late May, with daily operations getting underway in late-June and running through the end of October with additional events taking place in Lincoln, NH weekends from Thanksgiving until Christmas. Rail Bike Adventures is also privately owned with operations based in Laconia, NH. Operating from early May through late October, Rail Bike Adventures is the NH Lakes Region’s newest three-season family attraction.

Rail Bike Adventures offers guided rail bike tours on custom-made, fourpassenger rail bikes from Laconia to

stories while enjoying panoramic views of Lake Winnisquam. The rail bikes will be turned around using a special turntable and prepared for the ride back to Laconia Station. After a short break, riders will be invited to return to their rail bikes to pedal their way back to Laconia Station.

Safety is paramount at Rail Bike Adventures, so all guided tours have trained guides at the front and rear of each group. Although rail bike tours will be departing Laconia Station up to four times a day – at 10 am, noon, 2 pm and 4 pm - riders will have an opportunity to spread out during their excursion with up to 500 ft. between rail bikes. The front and rear guides will be available throughout each tour to assist where needed and to help ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. One of the unique things about the guided tours at Rail Bike Adventures is that the distance between rail bikes allows each group to pedal at their own pace

so they can enjoy the ride and take in the views along the way.

Each of the custom-made, fourpassenger rail bikes at Rail Bike Adventures is equipped with comfortable seating, handlebars, pedals for four riders, a hand brake, retractable seat belts, a water bottle holder for each rider and a basket for personal items, snacks and beverages.

Advance reservations are required and can be made by visiting www.

On the Road with the New Hampshire Heritage Museum Trail

By Mark Okrant Heritage museums are buildings in which historic, cultural, and/or artistic objects are stored and exhibited.

As a state with a mere 1.38 million residents, and only 10 urban places larger than 25,000 inhabitants, it may surprise some to learn that there are 20 excellent heritage museums to satisfy the curiosity of residents and visitors to the Granite State alike.

Beginning on June 1, the New Hampshire Heritage Museum Trail launched its Trail Passport Program.

Sponsored by the Bank of New Hampshire, the Trail Passport provides each buyer with one free admission ticket to each of the 18 institutions that are part of the program. For $25.00 per year, participants receive admissions valued at $150.00.

The 18 museums participating in the Heritage Museum Trail are divided

Fireworks, Parade, Festival Highlight Holiday in Wolfeboro Wolfeboro’s 2021 Fourth of July celebration is shaping up to be one of the grandest this town has ever seen.

A new weekend-long Fourth of July Festival will kick off with expanded fireworks on Friday night, July 2 and conclude with its parade and band concert on Sunday, July 4 with a series of special events planned in between.

Anticipating early this year that traditional events which draw large crowds might have to be curtailed because of the pandemic, the American Legion and the Town of Wolfeboro began organizing a festival of smaller events throughout the town. Community groups and local businesses joined the effort and the new line-up just keeps growing!

Smiles on the faces of Wolfeboro Town officials expanded this spring as State of New Hampshire and CDC Covid-19 restrictions diminished, and in mid-June they gave a green light to the return of both fireworks over Wolfeboro Bay and the American Legion’s Independence Day Parade,

Wolfeboro has always loved a parade, such as this one from July 4 in a past year. bringing back the traditional big events as well.

The result is perhaps the best “hybrid” event the community has experienced since the Covid-19 pandemic began.

‘Cue The Grill 4th of July Grilling recipes, but sometimes utilizing the original flavor of something good isn’t worth messing with. Few ingredients equal quick recipes, so enjoy that fact. This first recipe is a blend of lemon and oregano with some other goodies, combined with grilled shrimp.

Remember, my friends, shrimp and scallop recipes off the grill go great with a nice thick steak as Surf ‘n’ Turf truly are a couple of my all-time favorite words. This recipe will feed 8 of you.

Grilled Lemon and Oregano Shrimp ½ cup salted capers, rinsed, soaked for an hour and drained ½ cup fresh oregano leaves 1 clove of garlic, minced ¾ cup olive oil 1 tsp finely grated lemon zest 3 tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice Fresh grind black pepper Kosher salt 2 ½ lbs of large uncooked shrimp, size 16/20 is perfect, shelled and

Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, along with the lemon zest and lemon juice. Season the sauce with pepper. Light your grill and grease it up well. In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Thread the shrimp onto metal skewers and grill over high heat, turning once, until the

ROCHESTER - FOSTERS DAILY DEMOCRAT

By Chef Kelly Ross The 4th of July is finally here! Since the 4th is often considered the official start to the summer for many, we will devote today to some serious grilling, although I have that focus almost daily.

Although much of my grilling over the years has been based on a combo of quality and being economical, to me, that mentality usually took a back seat during the 4th as far as the economical part of the equation went. Let’s face it though, in the big scheme of things, shrimp is very economical, and scallops usually are on special much of the summer so treat yourselves well while the good stuff is on special.

Why not start the festivities with some fun seafood to grill on the 4th?

The cool thing about grilling this stuff is that it cooks up pretty quickly. That’s never a bad thing.

Many of these recipes are simple, but elegant, and more importantly, really delicious. You will notice how few ingredients there are in many of these

shrimp are lightly charred and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.

Remove the shrimp from the skewers and transfer them to a platter. Spoon the sauce on top and serve.

Pretty simple and easy, right? Well, this next one is as well, even more so to tell you the truth. Just like the last recipe, this will also feed 8. Again, these can go with a steak; they are also outstanding on a salad.

June 28, 2021 | THE LAKER | Page 21 • ‘Cue the Grill Continued from page 20 ¼ cup fresh squeezed lemon juice 2 ½ tsp chili powder 1 ½ tsp ground ginger ¼ tsp salt 2 ½ lbs large uncooked shrimp, size 16/20 is perfect, shelled and deveined In a small bowl, combine the first 5 ingredients; set aside ½ of it. Thread shrimp onto 8 metal or soaked wooden skewers. Grill shrimp on a wellgreased grill over medium heat 3-5 minutes on each side or until shrimp turn pink, basting occasionally with butter mixture. Remove from grill; drizzle with the reserved butter mixture and devour.

The combo of shrimp and scallops are next, and with a nice blend of spice to bring a little heat to your mouth.

I find, like the last recipe, this is outstanding on a great salad but I love popping these in my mouth like candy more than anything. This recipe is for 6 of you.

Spicy Shrimp and Scallop Skewers 2 tbsp. butter ½ tsp chili powder ¼ tsp dried oregano ¼ tsp ground cumin A small pinch of dried thyme A small pinch white pepper A small pinch of cayenne pepper A small pinch of black pepper 1 lb of uncooked large shrimp, ideally 16/20 in size, shelled and deveined About a lb of large scallops, ideally the same amount of them as you have shrimp.

In a small saucepan, melt butter. Stir in seasonings; set aside and keep warm.

Peel and devein shrimp, leaving tails on. On six metal or soaked wooden skewers, alternately thread shrimp and scallops. As usual, light the grill to medium and grease it up well. Grill seafood, covered, for 3-5 minutes on each side or until shrimp turn pink and scallops are firm and opaque, basting occasionally with butter mixture. Pull

from the grill and push the seafood off the skewers onto a platter and drizzle with the rest of the butter.

As I usually point out in every article I write, I have a daily favorite and this next recipe is today’s winner. Whether you are a fan of scallops or not, the corn salad that accompanies them is a huge favorite with my friends and family.

Don’t get me wrong, I love scallops with all my being, but the salad is the bomb as well and they go together like so many of those great combos over the years. This recipe is meant for 5 of you.

Grilled Sea Scallops with Corn Salad 6 ears of corn, soaked in water in the husk for an hour 1 pint grape tomatoes, cut in half 1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced 1/3 cup fresh basil leaves, finely shredded Kosher salt and fresh grind black pepper 1 small shallot, minced 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar 2 tbsp hot water 1 tsp Dijon mustard Just shy of ½ cup olive oil 1 ½ lbs large scallops, 30 total Light the grill on high and put the corn, wet and still in the husk, onto the grill. Close the lid. Cook for about 10 minutes, rolling them occasionally to cook the ears evenly. Pull off the grill and let cool. They will remain hot for a while so be careful once you husk them as a lot of steam collects inside the husks. Once husked, stand up the corn an ear at a time in a bowl and slice the kernels off the ears. Add the halved tomatoes, scallions and basil and season with the salt and pepper. In a blender, puree the shallot with the vinegar, hot water and mustard. With the blender on, slowly add 6 tablespoons of the oil until combined. Season the vinaigrette with salt and pepper, then toss with the corn salad. In a large bowl, toss the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil with the scallops; season with salt and pepper.

grill, make sure it is well oiled, grill over moderately high heat, turning once, until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Mound the corn salad on plates, top with the scallops and serve.

I guess I have “seafooded” you enough, at least for today. Let’s move on to a couple of great steak recipes, one as more of a lunch and the other as an outstanding center of the plate dinner entrée. Many of you know how I adore a killer sandwich, and the following is just that. As much as I could use to lose some weight like most of us, when it comes to a good sandwich, I love a great bread in spite of the fact that carbs are a no-no, but as they say, in moderation. I used to bread and pasta myself daily, but now maybe 1 to 2 times a week as I refuse to stop living the way I want to live in an altogether fashion. I tell everyone to treat their taste buds like royalty, and damned if I’m not going to follow my own advice.

This sandwich utilizes flank steak, generally a less expensive cut of beef, and one that relies on a great marinade to help tenderize it. This is outstanding in almost all situations, and this recipe is hardly an exception. If you can find a rosemary focaccia bread or rolls, I strongly suggest using it. If not, find a good crusty, chewy roll as it goes so well with this sandwich. This

recipe will give you 6-8 sandwiches depending on who is eating them, or building them for that matter.

Grilled Flank Steak Sandwiches About 3 lb of flank steak, as thick as possible 2 tbsp Dijon mustard ½ cup dry red wine ½ cup olive oil 8 large cloves garlic 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves, chopped 1 cup mayo 2 tsp fresh squeezed lemon juice Kosher salt & fresh grind black pepper 8 rosemary focaccia rolls or your choice, split ¾ - 1 lb sliced provolone Sliced red onions and pickles Lettuce, tomatoes, optional With a needler, stab the beef repeatedly on both sides. Brush the flank steak on both sides with the mustard. Put the steak in a sturdy resealable plastic bag and add the wine. Seal the bag, pressing out any air, and refrigerate overnight. Turn occasionally whenever you pop your head in the refrigerator. Drain the steak, pat dry and bring to room temperature before grilling. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the olive oil and • ‘Cue the Grill Continued on page 22

Page 22 | THE LAKER | June 28, 2021 • ‘Cue the Grill Continued from page 21 garlic and cook over low heat until the garlic is golden and soft, about 15 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the garlic to a small bowl; reserve the garlic oil. Add the thyme to the garlic and mash to a paste. Stir in the mayonnaise and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. This becomes a yummy sauce for the sandwich. If you are one who loves extra mayo or sauce on your sandwiches, you may want to double up that part of the recipe as it is pretty good. Get your grill preheated to high. Brush the steak with 75% of the reserved garlic oil, season liberally with salt and pepper, turn the grill back

to medium as the garlic oil will help the flames. Grill over moderate heat for about 10-15 minutes, turning once, for medium-rare meat. Transfer the steak to a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes.

While the steak rests, brush remaining oil on the inside of the rolls and grill them to a golden brown. Spread the garlic mayonnaise on the rolls. Thinly slice the meat across the grain on the diagonal. Put the beef on the bottom of the roll, add cheese, onions and pickles and whatever else sounds good to you.

Cut the sandwiches in half and serve.

I guarantee you will make these more than once.

Today’s last recipe is a great grilled ribeye recipe, which to me is my

favorite cut of beef on the grill. The marbling of the ribeye has just enough fat to help create great grill flavor which results in the ultimate reason we grill because that flavor is what it is all about. This version has a spicy bite to it, and as I said earlier, build yourself a great Surf ’n Turf by adding one of the previous seafood recipes. It’s a win/ win folks! This recipe is for 6 steaks.

• Science Center Continued from page 19 Mondays and Fridays at 3 pm. Squam Lakes Natural Science Center and the Loon Preservation Committee (LPC) are offering cruises that focus on Common Loon conservation, biology, and monitoring.

The Fascinating Libby Museum is Ready for Summer “A museum of Natural History should be a place for study, but if the specimens are not studied, it should, at any rate, be a place to flash before the eyes certain awakening influences: a spot where the mystery and drama of life, up from lost ages, may somehow make its appeal to the imagination and from imagination to curious investigation” -Dr. Henry Forrest Libby The Libby Museum of Natural History, located at 755 North Main Street in Wolfeboro, is open for its 109th season. While The Libby Museum highlights natural history, particularly focused on New England flora and fauna, it also offers much more.

The Libby Museum tells the story of the founder, Dr. Henry F. Libby, and his career as a dentist turned naturalist. In the museum, you can find his dental tools and the publications of his research in the field. In addition to dentistry, Dr. Libby was a very connected man, leading to some ‘unusual’ donations, including two mummy hands, a fingernail extracted from a Chinese person as evidence of good faith of conversion to the Christian religion, hairballs from the four compartments of a cow’s stomach, among many other objects.

Additionally, The Libby will again

host Live Animal Shows. Popular with visitors will be Wildlife Encounters and their friendly critters. Wildlife Encounters promotes environmental education through interactions with a collection of live animals. The animals range from local to exotic, large to small, and are a variety of reptiles, mammals, birds and more.

“The Live Animal Shows are such a fun event for the whole family. The shows bring life to the taxidermy in the museum and they further our mission to inspire ‘curious investigation’ of the natural world,” says Catriona Lennon, director of The Libby Museum.

Live Animal Shows are Wednesdays at 2 pm from July 7 to August 11.

The shows will require reservations.

Tickets can be booked at www. thelibbymuseum.org.

The Libby is pleased to welcome two local artists to display their work this summer. From June to July, enjoy scenes of New England and the White Mountains of New Hampshire in oils and watercolors by Rebecca M. Fullerton. From August to Indigenous Peoples’ Day, view images of wildlife by photographer Joseph Callanan.

The Libby Museum is located at 755 North Main Street in Wolfeboro; call 603-569-1035 or visit www. thelibbymuseum.org.

About the Museum’s Founder, Dr. Henry Libby Born April 7, 1850 on nearby Tuftonborough Neck, Dr. Libby was the second of five children of Moses and Vesta (Wiggin) Libby. Fishing, hunting and collecting local flora and fauna began at an early age and gave Henry Libby a life-long love of nature.

His family roots run deep in the area as the great nephew of Reuben Libby, an original settler (1769) of Wolfeboro and a local farmer who became Town Selectmen (1782-85) and State Representative (1785-93). Reuben was a great influence on the young Dr. Libby who developed similar civic interests and also became a State Representative (1915-19).

Educated at the old Wolfeborough Tuftonborough Academy (now Brewster), Dr. Libby went on to gain a dental degree from Harvard, and for many years practiced his profession in Boston. In 1875 he married Hattie E. Horne of Wolfeboro, a well-educated woman and a teacher of Latin. They had one son, Arthur Allen Libby and during their early adult years in Boston met many like-minded people through

The Art Nouveau Group.

From the age of 40, nature became Dr. Libby’s primary interest and he began collecting. In 1908, he began building the museum for his collection, and opened it to the public four years later. At the age of 62, he retired to his home on the water’s edge opposite the museum where he lived until he passed in 1933.

Dr. Libby’s legacy is the Libby Museum, which must be opened each summer to visitors. In 1956, when his family was unable to manage, The Town of Wolfeboro petitioned the Probate Court and became the stewards of its care. Dr. Libby’s dream of creating a place to “flash before the eye, the mystery and drama of life…and appeal to the imagination” remains to this day, as do the open vistas across Lake Winnipesaukee and Mirror Lake to nearby mountain ranges.

The Boston Transcript wrote, “Dr. Libby was no ordinary person.

Inventor, artist, naturalist, in other parts and times his theories and creations, his broad philanthropic sympathies, and his spirituality might well have brought him wider recognition.”

Loon Preservation Committee Urges the Public to Give Nesting Loons Space Throughout New Hampshire, many loon pairs have begun to incubate eggs, with many more expected to begin nesting in the coming weeks. If history is any guide, close to 40 percent of these nests will fail, many due to human disturbance.

“Loons are vulnerable when they’re on land because their bodies are designed for life in the water, making it difficult for them to move well on land,” says Loon Preservation Committee (LPC) Senior Biologist and Executive Director, Harry Vogel. “If humans closely approach loon nests, the loons feel threatened, and they will get into the water where they’re more mobile and therefore safer. That leaves their eggs exposed and vulnerable to predators or the elements.”

Boaters are urged to stay back at least 150 feet from nesting loons, or more if the loon shows any signs of distress, such as craning its neck low over its nest. Loons may appear to be injured in this head-down position, but it is simply a response to the close approach of people. If boaters do accidentally get too close to a nesting loon and cause it to flush from its nest, they are advised to leave the area immediately. “Most of the time, if the threat leaves, that loon will get right back on its nest and keep

incubating,” says Vogel.

Those wishing to see a close-up view of nesting loons can do so responsibly by viewing the Loon Preservation Committee’s Live Loon Cam. The Loon Cam nest was expected to hatch between June 20 and June 23. The Loon Cam can be viewed at loon.org/ looncam.

Loons are a threatened species in New Hampshire and are protected by state and federal laws from hunting or harassment, including flushing loons from nests. If you observe harassment of loons, you may contact New Hampshire Fish & Game Department (603-271-3361) or Marine Patrol (603293-2037) 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 on the web at www.loon.org or call the Loon Preservation Committee at 603-476LOON (5666).

Rehearsals for Interlakes Summer Theatre’s A Chorus Line.

“A Chorus Line” Kicks Off Interlakes Summer Theatre Season The Interlakes Summer Theatre in Meredith opens the season with “A Chorus Line” from June 30 until July 18. “A Chorus Line” is a classic, groundbreaking collaboration between Marvin Hamlisch and Michael Bennett about Broadway dancers auditioning for a spot on “the line”. Winner of nine Tony Awards and the 1976 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, the show provides a glimpse into the personalities of the performers and the events that have shaped their lives and their decision to go into “the business”.

Following “A Chorus Line”, will be “I Do! I Do!” from July 21 to August 1.

The story begins with Michael and Agnes on their wedding day. Their vows behind them, they look forward to spending the rest of their lives together. Set to a tuneful and charming score with book and lyrics by Tom Jones and music by Harvey Schmidt (creators of “The Fantasticks”), we watch as they maneuver through wedding night jitters, raising a family, and negotiating midlife crises. Written as a star vehicle for theater legends Mary Martin and Robert Preston, the original 1966 Broadway production ran more than a year and received seven Tony Award nominations. The show has been produced around the country and the world in the years since.

NH Outside with Emma Is Organic Fertilizer Better For Lawns?

By Emma Erler A key part of maintaining a lush, healthy lawn is proper fertilization.

Garden center shelves are filled with multiple choices, and it can be hard to know which product is right for your lawn. One clear distinction is whether a fertilizer is organic or conventional.

There are pros and cons to each option, and understanding which to apply to your lawn requires a little background on how fertilizers work and the nutrients that all plants need. Organic fertilizers are especially popular among home gardeners because of the many potential benefits they provide to the soil. Here’s what you need to know if you’re thinking about switching to organic fertilizers this season.

How plants use fertilizer Organic and conventional fertilizers are safe for lawns and the environment as long as they are used properly. The process of how plants absorb nutrients is the same whether they come from an organic or inorganic fertilizer, so, from the grasses’ perspective, it doesn’t really matter which type of fertilizer you use.

Plants are only able to take up nutrients in certain ionic forms. For example, nitrogen is only absorbed by plants as nitrate (NO3-) or ammonium (NH4+) ions, and potassium is only

taken up as the potassium ion (K+).

Soluble inorganic fertilizers provide nutrients in these forms so they are immediately available for plant uptake. They are fast-acting and fairly inexpensive.

However, because all of the nutrients are available at once, perennial grasses can’t use them all, and many are quickly lost from the soil. This means that you may need to fertilize more than once throughout the growing season unless you are using a slow-release formula that contains greater than 50 percent water-insoluble nitrogen.

In contrast, organic fertilizers have to be broken down by microorganisms in the soil for the nutrients to be released in the right form to be absorbed through plant roots. Due to this fact, organic fertilizers release nutrients over a fairly long period of time.

Though they are more expensive and less concentrated pound for pound than inorganic fertilizers, organic fertilizers

From a small cottage on the lake, to your home, to your business.

do provide real benefits to the soil that inorganic fertilizers do not. Over time, they can improve soil structure, increase soil water holding capacity, and promote the activity of important soil microorganisms, contributing to a healthier soil environment for plants.

Environmental concerns The main downside to organic fertilizers is that the proportions of nutrients are usually different from what grass requires for growth. In particular, many of these materials often contain far more phosphorus than lawns need. If gardeners try to apply enough organic fertilizer to meet the nitrogen needs of their lawn, they will usually add way more phosphorus than the grass can absorb.

Over time, this can lead to very high levels of soil phosphorus. New Hampshire soils tend to be very high in phosphorus, and it is a rare lawn that requires phosphorus fertilization.

While having extra phosphorus in the soil doesn’t hurt the lawn, it can contribute to surface water pollution when it runs off the landscape.

Excess phosphorus in water bodies can cause algae blooms that harm water quality and aquatic organisms.

In order to use organic fertilizers in an effective and environmentally sound way, have your soil tested to learn its pH and nutrient status.

Selecting an organic lawn fertilizer All packaged organic fertilizer products will have a fertilizer analysis or grade that refers to the percentages of nitrogen (N), phosphate (P2O5) and potassium (K2O) in the fertilizer. On a fertilizer label, these nutrients will be listed as three numbers in the order N-P-K. For example, a 10-2-2 fertilizer contains 10 percent nitrogen, 2 percent phosphate and 2 percent potassium.

One hundred pounds of this fertilizer would hold 10 pounds of nitrogen, 2 pounds of phosphate and 2 pounds of potash. If a soil test indicates that

the levels of some nutrients are high, try to choose a product that has low concentrations of those nutrients.

There is a turf fertilizer law in New Hampshire that dictates that no retail fertilizer product should exceed 0.9 pounds per 1,000 square feet of total nitrogen can be put down per fertilizer application, when applied according to the product label. That means that with each fertilizer application you should be putting down no more than 0.9 pounds of actual nitrogen per 1,000 square feet. You can figure out how much fertilizer to apply by dong a few simple calculations. Additionally, no more than 3.25 pounds per 1000 square feet of total nitrogen should be applied in a year, as directed by the instructions.

Exceeding this rate of nitrogen fertilization can not only cause environmental harm, but it can make turf grasses more susceptible to pest issues. The most important times to fertilize the lawn are in mid to late spring and early fall. If you only want to fertilize your lawn once, choose to fertilize in early fall when the grass can make the most use of the nutrients.

Organic fertilizers can be a good a good choice for New Hampshire lawns, but they must be used appropriately.

Though they are often viewed as safer for children and pets, and the best choice for the environment, that is only true if the right organic fertilizer is chosen based on soil nutrient availability.

Ultimately, using a fertilizer properly according to the label instructions or based on soil test results is most important. Whether the nutrients come from organic or synthetic sources does not matter to the lawn.

Farmers Markets Are Open in Lakes Region

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper It is the time of year when we look forward to weeks of fresh produce, beautiful flowers, homemade jams and baked goods and handmade items at local farmers markets. The markets have become extremely popular in the Lakes Region and visitors and local salike enjoy the healthy products and gift-worthy items available from area farmers and crafters, among others.

Plans are in place to follow state guidelines for social distancing and other requirements, and markets will again bring great items to the public this summer and fall.

The Wolfeboro Farmers Market is now open for the season and takes

place each Thursday from 12:30 to 4:30 pm through October 28. It is held at Clark Park at 233 South Main Street in Wolfeboro and has been a popular place to get fresh produce and other goods. Come and visit every Thursday, rain or shine, through October in Clark Park, to shop for local produce, meats, eggs, honey, maple syrup, preserves, flowers, baked goods, and more! (New

options this year are fish tacos, Indian cuisine from Café Mustard Seed and PEAKS Provisions fried dough, among other great foods.) While you’re there enjoy the music of local musicians, grab a bite to eat or drink and bring the kids to enjoy story hour with local librarians at 2 pm. Visit www.wolfeborofarmersmarket.com for information.

The popular Tamworth Farmers Market will operate this summer each Saturday from 9 am to noon. Those who rely on the fresh produce and other goods will be happy to see the popular weekly market. The market is located on the grounds of the KA Brett School at 881 Tamworth Road in Tamworth.

Live music will be offered each week, with White Mt. Ceili Band on July 3, Taylor Whiteside on July 10 to

flooding conditions. The American Red Cross offers that every thunderstorm produces lightning, which kills more people each year than tornadoes or hurricanes.

Despite advance warnings, people are killed or seriously injured by severe thunderstorms each year. Respecting the power of a thunderstorm can help keep people safe.

• Follow the 30/30 lightning safety rule. When lightning flashes, immediately go indoors if you cannot count to 30 before hearing a thunder clap. Remain indoors for 30 minutes after hearing the last rumble of thunder.

• Upon hearing thunder, get out of boats, pools and other bodies of water.

• Unplug electronic equipment that may be susceptible to damage from power surges caused by lightning hitting power lines.

• Be sure to have a flashlight and

extra batteries handy in the event of a power outage.

• Listen to the local news or NOAA Weather Radio for emergency updates.

• Get to higher ground if flash flooding is possible.

• Avoid contact with plumbing fixtures, as water conducts electricity.

• Do not try to drive during severe thunderstorms. Afterward, do not drive through standing puddles. They may be too deep to gauge.

• Stay away from windows.

• If you are caught outdoors, seek shelter if possible. If shelter is not available, find a low area away from metal areas or tall objects that can attract lightning. Curl into a ball and make yourself as small as possible.

• After the storm, stay away from downed power lines and report them immediately.

Congressman Chris Pappas gets a hard-hat tour at Makers Mill On a recent tour through New Hampshire’s First District, Congressman Chris Pappas dropped in for a hard-hat tour to see the renovation underway at Makers Mill on Bay Street in Wolfeboro. The building is undergoing major construction that will transform it into Carroll County’s first dedicated community makerspace and vocation hub with a mission to support workforce development, career pathways, and community building.

The Congressman was guided on the tour by Makers Mill Executive Director Josh Arnold along with Denise Roy-Palmer from WEDCO, Board members Matt Trahan and Dave Bolduc, Assistant Director Carol Holyoake, and construction managers Austyn Shea and Rich Frizzell from Milestone Construction.

Of particular interest to Congressman Pappas is the role Makers Mill will play in the state’s workforce development: partnering with community colleges and technical schools to provide the education, tools and mentorship for people to learn new skills or upskill as they transition careers.

Upon learning the scope of programs that Makers Mill will offer, including woodwork, metalwork and welding, digital fabrication and computer technology, Pappas acknowledged the important role the makerspace plays in providing a skilled workforce, and noting that without a skilled workforce, the infrastructure plans he is working on would not be possible.

Gathered here, left to right, is Assistant Director, Carol Holyoake; construction managers from Milestone Engineering and Construction, Rich Frizzell and Austyn Shea; Maker’s Mill Executive Director, Josh Arnold and Board Chair, Matt Trahah; Congressman Chris Pappas; Executive Director of Wentworth Economic Development Council, Denise RoyPalmer. Photo by Maker’s Mill Board Member, David Bolduc.

After over three years of planning, preparing, and fundraising, Phase One of the Makers Mill construction project started just a few weeks ago.

This milestone was made possible by funding from a vast array of public and private contributions, including grants from Northern Borders Regional Commission, USDA, Community Development Finance Authority, NH Charitable Foundation, and many local donor-advised funds and gifts.

With building renovation now underway at Makers Mill, the fundraising focus has shifted from “bricks and mortar” to raising money for tools and equipment for the various workshops so they are stocked ready to run programs once the last nail

has been driven home and the doors open. “We couldn’t be more thrilled to shift gears like this,” said Arnold.

“Fundraising for tools makes it feel so much more real than fundraising for bricks and mortar!”

The organization’s “Tool-Kitty Campaign” will be running through the summer to help ensure they are ready to hit the ground running as soon as the contractors complete renovations this fall.

Makers Mill renovation progress and fundraising drive can be followed at www.makersmill.org/blog and on social media @makersmillnh.

Cow Pie Bingo Fundraiser at Belknap House

Bill Day Joins Roche Realty Group F r a n k R o c h e , president of Roche R e a l t y Group, Inc, with offices in Meredith and Laconia, has announced that Bill Day recently joined the Meredith office. Bill has lived in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire since 2015. He moved here from Annapolis, MD, where he worked as a Certified Professional Yacht Broker for a period of nine years. He is a native of the Philadelphia area, where he served the public for 12 years as an elected district judge, and he adjudicated many civil and criminal cases. He was also a licensed Pennsylvania real estate agent for six years, specializing in land development, new construction, and residential home sales for Weichert Realtors and Long and Foster Real Estate. He was a member of the National Association of Realtors, Pennsylvania Association of Realtors, and the Delaware County Board of Realtors.

Bill is a familiar figure in the Lakes Region, having been the general manager of Lakehouse Grille, Lago, and Camp restaurants in Meredith for the past six years. He knows as many summer residents as he does local

residents. Bill served on the Lakes Region Tourism Association board of directors and participated in various community-based fundraising efforts.

He has a strong interest in marketing properties in the food and beverage and hospitality industry because of his extensive expertise in the industry.

Other professional organizations include the Yacht Broker’s Association of America’s legislative committee and the Pennsylvania Special Court Judges’ Association’s legislative committee. Bill also served as a member of the City of Chester, Pennsylvania Planning Commission, producing the municipality’s comprehensive plan.

Bill lives in Center Harbor with his wife, Cindy, and son, Will. Bill’s daughter, Blace, attends the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY. His education includes Widener University School of Law in Wilmington, DE, and Johnson & Wales University in Providence, RI. According to Roche, Bill has experience in all levels of customer service, including real estate and yacht brokerage, with a lot of exposure relating to contracts and negotiations. His 12 years of service as a judge and the six years as general manager of three of the Lakes Regions premier restaurants have provided a solid background of highly personalized service.

Bill can be reached at 484-576-0804 (cell) or 603-279-7046 (office).

Belknap House, in conjunction with Huckins Farm, announces its fourth annual Cow Pie Bingo fundraiser on July 18.

Tickets that are mapped to one of these unique squares are offered for sale. A maximum of 500 tickets are sold. The number of tickets sold determines the size of the grid in the pasture and the maximum prize awarded.

Two cows are released into the fencedin pasture. The winner is determined by the square that receives the first cow pie or is closest to the first cow pie.

Tickets are available for purchase until 15 minutes prior to the event on

THE GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER

WHEN IRRIGATED!

You can help keep Winnipesaukee blue, clean, and healthy by following these practices suggested by Lake Winnipesaukee Association.

Wash cars and boats away from the lake.

Inspect your boat and trailer for invasive animal and plants.

Never feed the ducks and geese.

Never rake leaves or dump sand into the lake.

Inspect and pump septic systems regularly.

Put a bilge sock in your boat.

Eliminate or reduce the use of household hazardous products.

Stabilize soil with native plants and/or mulch to prevent erosion.

Aid our lake protection efforts – become a member or donate to the LWA. Use phosphate free fertilizers and cleaning products.

Keep the natural vegetation and buffer along the shoreline.

Educate your friends and neighbors.

Enjoy the beauty. It’s why we live here.

Here are some additional tips to enjoy the lake to its fullest:

• Simple actions can have a big impact!

• Be a clean boater! Use a bilge sock and follow clean boating practices.

• Use proper care when fueling your boat – do not top off the tank.

• Do not wash your boat in the lake – only at approved wash stations or away from the lake. Use nontoxic, chlorine and phosphate free cleaners.

• Use Pump Out Stations – it is illegal to discharge untreated sewage into the lake.

• Clean, drain, and dry your boat when trailering to help prevent the spread of invasive species from one waterbody to another.
