The Rock-n-Blues Concert Series Comes to Wolfeboro By Lori Tremblay Music fans are in for a treat as Boston-based musicians come to The Barn at The Inn on Main Bistro in Wolfeboro for the Rock-n-Blues Concert Series, starting at the end of May. Chuck Farrell and Jonathan Sarty are both producers of the series and working musicians, aiming to bring a special experience to patrons. Each concert should be a memorable evening, with a seated dinner and performance in the spacious and beautiful venue, which seats 250. I had a chance to look inside The Barn, used for weddings and other events, which was newly renovated, along with the Inn and restaurant, in 2017. Farrell and Sarty transform the space by bringing in a stage, lighting, and sound for the musicians. All shows are 7:00-9:00 p.m. Tickets are available for a dinner show with a handful of show only tickets. Prices vary and you can order tickets online at www.aspectproductionsne.com or call The Inn on Main directly at 603-5691335. The first show is Monday, May 30 – The Blues Project Featuring Jon Butcher and Deric Dyer (of Tina Turner/Joe Cocker Band). Dave Gerard opens. Saturday, June 11 – Blues Diva Toni Lynn Washington, featuring guitar virtuoso Roberto Morvioli. Jonathan Sarty opens. Saturday, July 2 – James Montgomery with Diane Blue, performing the blues. Saturday, July 16 – Rock band Once an Outlaw (includes current and for-

Jonathan Sarty and Chuck Farrell mer members of The Outlaws, Allman Brothers Band, Dickey Betts Band, Great Southern, Southern Rock AllStars, Peacheaters) Jonathan Sarty opens. Sarty’s Aspect Productions New England LLC (aspectproductionsnewengland.com) is a mobile event production company, which handles live and virtual event productions, light, sound, booking bands, social media management, graphic design and web design. He also co-founded and hosts the Cold River Radio Show, at the Majestic Theater in Conway (coldriverradio.com). “The demographics are a little different,” said Sarty. “I’ve been doing jazz and blues and American Songbook, and authors and storytellers.

mographic is in the Mount Washington Valley.” Sarty also regularly sings and plays guitar at The Wildcat Inn and Tavern in Jackson, NH. Farrell’s company, Can You Hear Me Now Productions, focuses on bringing music to the Lakes Region. He will be playing guitar in the first show on Monday, May 30 and with Once an Outlaw on Saturday, July 16. A year ago, Sarty and Farrell, both musicians and producers, started talking about putting their expertise together. Although different in their backgrounds and approach, the partnership is working. “We had a shared vision on the types of shows we wanted to do, where it’s an experience,” said Farrell, “a seated event, with white tablecloths, dinner

and an intimate show experience with world class performers.” The series is also being performed at The Old Saco Inn in Fryeburg, Maine, a beautiful space, according to Sarty, with a comfortable seating capacity of 200. Dinner is included with the performances there, also. Farrell said that dedicated fans sometimes catch the shows in both locations. Choosing the performers is important. Sarty personally checks out performers before booking, to see what they’re like in person, instead of relying on a cd or video performance. He feels that it is important that the performer has a positive attitude, so that they relate well with the audience. Also, Sarty feels that the series is a wonderful opportunity for the artists. “There’s sort of a magic to it because of the location,” said Sarty. “I think that’s attractive to the artists and to the patrons because they just love to be in this beautiful place by the lake or the mountains.” Farrell is playing guitar on May 30 with the Blues Project, with Jon Butcher and Deric Dyer of Tina Turner and Joe Cocker Band. “There’s a lot of star power there,” said Farrell. “Jon Butcher...genuinely loves performing and the audience” said Sarty. “You walk away feeling really good anytime he does a show, a really positive performer.” Other band members are Tim Archibald, A.J. Vallee, Jessica Ramsay and Chuck Farrell, with (guitarist) • Rock continued on page 4

Page 4 | THE LAKER May 30, 2022 • Rock continued from page 3 Dave Gerard as the opener. These New England musicians “cover a variety of material, from Etta James to Jimi Hendrix,” (aspectproductionsne.com). Blues Diva Toni Lynn Washington performs June 11 with Italian guitar virtuoso Roberto Morbioli and her band. Sarty mentioned that at age 85, Washington is a powerhouse on stage and has a great rapport with the audience. According to the website, allmusic. com, “Boston-based blues singer Toni Lynn Washington recorded and released Blues at Midnight for the ToneCool subsidiary of Rounder Records in 1995. Washington is considered Boston’s “queen of the blues,’’ where she has a long and storied history on the club scene. Raised in a procession of gospel choirs in Southern Pines, North Carolina, Washington performed with classic R&B artists like Sam and Dave and Jackie Wilson throughout the South in her youth. Washington also made USO tours of the U.S. and Asia in the 1960s and recorded the Top 50 single “Dear Diary” for the New Orleans-based Conti label, then a sub-

sidiary of Atlantic Records. After two decades off the road and out of the recording studio, Washington returned to performing in 1992 with a ten-piece band. On her debut for Tone-Cool, Blues at Midnight, Washington comes across best as an interpreter of the music: she tackles B.B. King’s “Ask Me No Questions,” Jimmy Reed’s “Ain’t That Loving You Baby,’’ and a tune popularized by Jimmy Rushing and the Basie Orchestra and T-Bone Walker, Evening.’’ It’s My Turn Now followed in 1997, and in early 2000, Washington returned with Good Things.“ (www. allmusic.com/artist/toni-lynn-washington-mn0000618373/biographyly) Washington recently performed on The Cold River Radio Show. “In the green room, I got her some flowers and a card,” said Sarty. “She really appreciated that.” He added, “Toni is one of the last R & B generation. She knows doo wop because she was there when it started. She has six albums out.” Italian guitar virtuoso, Roberto Morbioli found his passion in the blues. Successful tours in Europe and the United States led to collaborations with many great musicians. Morbioli also formed his own band, Morblus, according to his website, robertomor-

bioi.com. “Roberto writes and arranges the music of all the original songs recorded with his own projects. His personality and unique playing style are evident in all his interpretations while at the same time recalling the styles of blues greats such as Freddy King, Albert King, B.B. King, Albert Collins, T. Bone Walker, Steve Ray Vaughan and Eric Clapton. When he plays the guitar, he is passionate and commanding, laying down great groove in every song he plays. Each note comes straight from his heart. As a singer, Roberto’s powerful voice recalls the styles and tones of Sam Cook, O.V. Wright, Little Milton, Otis Redding, Robert Cray, and Donny Hathaway.” (robertomorbioli.com) July 2, James Montgomery and Diane Blue perform onstage. “They are two headliners,” Farrell said, “so it’s like two shows for the price of one. Diane will do a full set.” “James Montgomery is an American blues musician, best known as the lead singer, blues harp player, front man, and bandleader of The James Montgomery Blues Band. James has performed on stage with a long list of musicians including B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, John Lee Hooker, Junior Wells, James Cotton, Bonnie Raitt, Steven Tyler (Aerosmith Frontman and American Idol TV Show Judge), Brad Whitford (Aerosmith guitarist), Charlie Daniels, Gregg Allman, LaVern Baker, and Patti LaBelle just to name a few.” (aspectproductionsne. com) Boston’s Diane Blue is an award-winning artist who wows audiences whenever she appears. On tours in Europe and the United States, she sings the blues and plays harmonica, according to her website, dianebluemusic. com. “I’ve never seen anything like her,” said Farrell. “When she sings, I’d Rather Go Blind, jaws hit the ground.” Diane has her own all-star band and also is a member of Ronnie Earl and the Broadcasters, prominently featured

on their albums. On July 16, Once an Outlaw takes the stage. “That show is sold out every time it’s been here,” said Farrell. “Don’t confuse Once an Outlaw with another tribute show; this is an alumni show celebrating the southern rock genre. Members include Chris Anderson (Outlaws/Grinderswitch), David Goldflies, (Allman Brothers Band), Mike Kach (Dickey Betts Band/Great Southern), Chuck Farrell (Jon Butcher Blues Project/James Montgomery) and A.J. Vallee (Southern Rock All Stars/Peacheaters, The group also includes Chris Hicks (Marshall Tucker/ Outlaws) who performs with the band when not on tour with Marshall Tucker.” (aspectproductionsne.com) Once an Outlaw opener Jonathan Sarty is a native of New England and founder of the White Mountain Boys, the Jonathan Sarty Band, and the Cold River Radio Show (hosted by Jonathan and his Cold River Radio Band). He is an accomplished producer, promoter, songwriter, recording artist, and performer with an extensive musical repertoire covering a variety of genres. He has performed in hundreds of shows a year regionally and throughout New England, according to the website, aspectproductionsne.com. Both producers praise the efforts of approximately six volunteers who help with the shows. “One of the invaluable volunteers is Sandy Martin,” said Farrell. Most of the photos taken of the series are from Martin, an artist, photographer, and owner of the Sandy Martin Gallery in Wolfeboro. She goes on the road with Once an Outlaw and documents the performances. “A true artist, she takes pictures of the musicians and makes them look really good,” said Farrell.

Castle in the Clouds Set to Begin 2022 Operating Season Castle in the Clouds is looking ahead to again welcoming visitors from near and far for the 2022 season, which begins Saturday, May 28, 2022. Due to current staffing levels, the Castle will operate on a Thursday through Monday schedule to start the season, offering tours of Lucknow Mansion, lunch service at Café in the Clouds, and a full schedule of programs and events with offerings for visitors of all ages. Castle Preservation Society Executive Director Charles Clark says, “We certainly hope that staffing levels improve and we can return to our customary sevenday-a-week operating schedule. Until that happens, we want to ensure the best possible experience for our guests. Consolidating our available staff to fewer days each week means that we can continue to provide the best possible service to our visitors without compromising quality.”

Visitors to the Castle can expect to see continued progress on the restoration of the historic buildings, with the newly restored “blue room”, the first-floor

Later this summer restoration of the historic Maple Lodge, the gatehouse that sits at the entrance to the Castle property at the top of Ossipee Park Road, will commence as well. In addition to tours of the historic buildings, a full slate of public programming is also planned. The public schedule includes a variety of opportunities to learn more about the fascinating history of the estate both before and after the builder of the Castle, Thomas Plant, lived on the property, as well as educational and cultural activities sure to appeal to locals and tourists alike. The full calendar of programs and events, including

Tuesday and Wednesday programs that will continue as planned, can be found on the Castle’s website. The Castle will also debut a new Gallery exhibit this year that is focused on Olive Plant and the ideals of womanhood at the turn of the 20th Century, commonly known as the Progressive Era. An opening reception and curator’s talk is scheduled for Sunday, June 5th at 5:30 PM, with tickets available now on the Castle’s website. While the historic buildings will be closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to start the season, the grounds will remain open daily from dawn until dusk, allowing public access to the more than 30 miles of hiking trails owned and maintained by the Lakes Region Conservation Trust. The two partner organizations are looking forward to celebrating the 20th anniversary of the LRCT’s purchase of the Castle property later this year. Castle in the Clouds is owned and operated by the Castle Preservation Society, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization whose mission is to preserve, interpret, and share the buildings and landscape of Castle in the Clouds as a cultural resource for the benefit of the public.

Yester year Old Mills of the Lakes Region By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper If you lived in the Lakes Region in the 1700s or 1800s, you likely lived in a rural area. Many places were unsettled and provisions difficult to acquire. Flour was a staple in daily life, and other products as well. Where to get such things? The answer was mills that started and thrived in villages all over the Lakes Region. Today, if you look hard enough, you will see traces of the old mills remaining in old cellar holes and stonewalls. The Sandwich area had many mills – about 50 of them at one time. Rivers were necessary to power the mills, and the town had many waterways. The area of Main Street had a large group of mills by the mid 1850s, with a gristmill, sawmill, flaxseed mill and a tanning bark mill, as well as a dye house. The first mill in Sandwich was a gristmill, and it was much needed by

villagers in the area. Daniel Beede was the owner of the mill in the 1760s. After being destroyed by fire it was rebuilt and run for some time, unlike other mills razed in the fire. A later owner closed the mill and the site fell

into disuse. What were the components of a successful gristmill? An owner began with acquiring a millstone. It wasn’t easy to get the millstone and they had to be ordered from elsewhere. But that

was a necessity since there were few to be found in the Lakes Region. This was quite a task, and an expense for transporting the heavy stones into the remote New Hampshire area. Each stone weighed around 900 pounds and pairs of stones were needed for each mill. Once on site, the stones needed large supporting timbers. They had to be fitted for the stones to grind flour and other milled goods. Other products were made at the mills as well. Clothing was precious and few people had the variety of fabrics as we do today. If a person had one or two changes of clothes, that would be just about all they could make/acquire because it was difficult to get fabric to fashion a dress, shirts, or pants. • Yesteryear continued on page 9

May 30, 2022 | THE LAKER | Page 9 • Yesteryear continued from page 8 In Sandwich, a man named Mr. Blanchard had a woolen mill in the early 1800s, where wool filling was done, according to information at “Sandwich, New Hampshire 17631990.” The wool needed to be cleaned, brushed, and pressed to make it as firm as possible, thus making it last longer. Wooden arms at the mill pounded the wool as part of this process. Linseed was made by Blanchard’s father at a nearby mill. The oil was used for farm animal feed and for medicinal purposes. When discovered it could be used with paint, linseed oil also was desirable for painting large surfaces such as the exterior of a house. Leather for use on farms and for saddles and other items necessary for horses might also have been difficult to come by in the Lakes Region. It made sense to start a tannery (or leather) mill and there were several of them around the Lakes Region. Another need for leather was in shoemaking and Sandwich had a large shoe factory in the 1800s. Once again, a mill – this time started by Elisha Marston in 1828, was a thriving place. To make leather, tree bark made tannin, which was used in leather making. Shoes were a necessity and their production offered locals a way to earn money. Some shoe making was done at home, and a few businesses set up shop in Sandwich village. At one time, it was a thriving industry for the town, with around eight shoe shops in Sandwich by the mid 1800s. Gilford village had the Gilford Iron Foundry, owned and operated by Stephen Leyford in the 1820s. At the start, the foundry employed just a few men. They made, according to “The Gunstock Parish” by Adair D. Mulligan, machinery, and hollowware. Another foundry was started by Benjamin Cole, and it had a blast furnace and iron works. It was a success and became the Cole Manufacturing Company, making such items as water

wheels, cast-iron doors for ovens, and machinery for farms, among other useful products. Gilford’s Lake Village had a sawmill and a cardboard mill, and a shoemaker’s shop, while Gilford had shops for shoemaking, coopering and a hosiery mill. As the town of New Durham, near Alton, was settled, a sawmill was among the first places of business. The town’s charter of 1749 stated that no one person would own the sawmill, but rather town residents would run the mill and share in the expense. It was a nice idea, but a sawmill was not built for a few years. Perhaps this was because villagers were busy building and setting up their homes and working their land and had little time to pitch in and run a mill. In 1764, a grist mill was built by Thomas Tash. By the 1780s, things began to change and there was a grist mill, and at least four sawmills in operation. In the 1850s, most people owned a gun for hunting and probably for protection. Thus, a gunpowder mill would certainly be profitable. This was likely the reason for George Mathewson to start a gunpowder mill in New Durham. An old sawmill was revamped to become a powder mill. As the mill grew, eight buildings comprised the business. It must have been quite a thriving place because there also was a boarding house on the site. When it began, the powder mill was called the Eureka Powder works and later was renamed the Union Powder Works Co., as related in “The History of New Durham, New Hampshire” by Ellen Cloutman Jennings. Later, the business was operated by Lewis Childs. Care was required for the tricky and dangerous manufacture of gun powder; a few fatal accidents, however, took place over the years. An even greater accident took place in 1860 and it was widely publicized. It would become known far and wide when a spark ig-

nited powder and a big explosion took place, with the blast heard and felt for 50 miles. Many tons of gun powder exploded, and the result was disaster. The gun powder factory was rebuilt because the Civil War badly needed New Durham’s gunfire powder. The Alton Shoe Factory in nearby Alton was built in the 1880s and owned by D. Melvin Mooney and George A. Colburn. The business produced a huge number of shoes and offered employment to many. During this time, the building also housed a general store and post office. Just how vital a role the shoe factory played in the town’s employment was illustrated when the whole community came out to fight a fire that raged through the building in the winter of 1930. High school students were dismissed from classes to help fight the fire; townspeople from far and wide worked furiously to save the business. Flames raged quickly through the old building, fanned by shoe chemicals and leather. Despite the townspeople’s best efforts, the factory was destroyed by the fire. The largest mill in the Alton area was the Rockwell Clough Company. Originally located in Newark, New Jersey, and then New York City, the business moved permanently to the Clough Farm in South Alton in the 1800s. The Rockwell Clough Company made corkscrews, which previously were

produced by hand at a great expense. It is interesting to note that the Alton company was the only corkscrew manufacturer in the world at that time. The machinery needed to produce corkscrews by invented by Rockwell Clough, who also invented the common paper clip. When the company needed more space, it was moved to Factory Street in Alton. At one time, the company produced over 30 million corkscrews. After Rockwell Clough died in 1920, the business was run by his family for some time. His widow lived in Alton until her death. In the early years of Laconia, a mill owner built a dam in the town. The water powered a tannery, a sawmill, a cotton mill, and a linseed oil factory. As the town grew in population, the C. Ranlet Car Manufacturing Company moved to Laconia where it made trolley and railroad cars. Also produced in Laconia were clothing and needles as well as machine parts and shipping boxes, according to information at www.belknapmill.org. The largest manufacturer of knitting machines in Laconia was Scott & Williams, which came to the community in 1910. It employed many and helped boost the economy. Most of the old mills, from large to modest, are gone now, but their place in the Lakes Region lives on.

‘Watch the Seasons Change,’ Take Flight, and More on NH Heritage Museum Trail This season, education and adventure are just two kinds of experiences possible on New Hampshire Heritage Trail, which stretches from Portsmouth to Manchester and up through the Lakes Region. On Saturday, June 4 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., education takes center stage at the Museum of the White Mountains (MWM), as it hosts an Opening Reception for a new exhibit, titled Watching the Seasons Change. The exhibit, noted MWM Director Meghan Doherty, will explore the seasons through different lenses, including artists’ perspectives and scientific research. “As the seasons change in the Northeast, we all expect certain signs – the bright red of the sugar maple, the crackle of frozen puddles under foot, the sweet smell of fresh growth as the snow melts, the burble of the brook under a thick canopy of leaves.” she said. “This exhibit will take a look at how our changing climate is affecting those things.” Watching the Seasons Change Opening Reception is free to attend. To learn more about the exhibit, or MWM, visit plymouth.edu/mwm. For those looking for adventure, the Aviation Museum of New Hampshire will hold the annual Nashua Fly-In

BBQ on Saturday, June 18 in Nashua, NH. According to Executive Director Jeff Rapsis, this event is “a great kick off to summer” with fun for all ages. “This is a terrific event that we look forward to hosting every year, especially as a way to celebrate dads,” he said. At this Father’s Day weekend event, some of the highlights include vintage and home-built aircrafts, vintage cars, and a virtual reality exhibit that features a world aerobatics champion. The event will also feature a restored Consolidated PBY-5A Catalina, a twin-engined amphibious World War II-era aircraft. The airplane, one of very few of its type still flying, will be on display to visitors through noon, and will offer rides in the afternoon. To purchase tickets, or learn more about the Aviation Museum in Londonderry, visit nhahs.org. Aside from preserving the history and heritage of New Hampshire, individual museums on The Trail feature events, programs, exhibits, and experiential learning opportunities for all ages. To learn more about The Trail, including its Passport program, which provides buyers with one free admission ticket to each member museum, visit nhmuseumtrail.org.

Advice To The Players Presents The Gin Game Advice To The Players, Sandwich’s own Shakespeare company, is opening their 2022 season with a special limited production of The Gin Game by Donald L. Coburn featuring Hank Offinger and Lisa Lovett. This play in two acts will take place June 17th & 18th at 7:30pm at the Sandwich Town Hall Theater. In this play, two residents of a nursing home become acquaintances over a shared dislike for the home and an appreciation for the game gin rummy. As the two play, they each reveal intimate details about their lives and their conversations become as competitive and tumultuous as their ongoing games. ATTP and the Foothills will be offering a dinner theatre for the performanc-

es of The Gin Game. There will be a fixed menu of three options served on sectioned dinner trays. Tickets for the dinner theatre will be $35, paid at the Foothills and regular tickets will be $20. Tickets will be available at advicetotheplayers.org or at the door as available. Reservations for dinner theatre are required due to limited availability- email info@thefoothillsofsandwich.com by Wednesday, June 15th to reserve. Advice To The Players is a unique company of theater professionals, enthusiastic community members and energetic teens that have been performing Shakespeare and offering workshops in the Lakes and White Mountains Regions of New Hampshire since 1999.

Got Bats? Help Count Them

Wi l d l i f e biologists need help from volunteers who have bats in their barn or other outbuilding to conduct bat counts this summer as part of the New Hampshire Bat Counts project to help monitor summer bat colonies in the Granite State. It’s easy to take part, and volunteers are asked to conduct at least one count in June and one count in July. Structures such as barns and church steeples often serve as summer homes for female bats and their young. In the face of white-nose syndrome, which is causing significant declines in bat populations throughout the Northeast, monitoring these “maternity colonies” is more important than ever. New Hampshire Fish and Game and UNH Cooperative Extension are looking for landowners and homeowners who have bats on their property to help keep track of New Hampshire’s bats by conducting “emergence counts” at roost sites. Volunteers interested in learning more can visit the New Hampshire Bat Counts website at wildlife.state.nh.us/ surveys/bats.html for more information on conducting a count and submitting data. There are two upcoming opportunities to learn more about the bat species found in New Hampshire, the threats

leading to population declines, and how you can help conserve bats. Both events will include an overview of bats in New Hampshire and information on how to participate in the New Hampshire Bat Counts project, which involves citizen science volunteers in helping to monitor summer bat colonies in New Hampshire. Bats of New Hampshire – June 8, 2022, 5:00-6:00 p.m. – Online/Zoom. Hosted by Green Mountain Conservation Group. For more information and to register visit https://www.gmcg.org/ bats-of-new-hampshire/. New Hampshire Bat Counts Training – June 14, 2022, 7:00-9:00 p.m. – Auburn, NH. Hosted by New Hampshire Audubon. For more information and to register visit https:// naturegroupie.org/experiences/nh-batcounts-training. If you have questions about these events or the New Hampshire Bat Counts Project, contact Haley Andreozzi at haley. andreozzi@unh. edu or (603) 862- 5327. The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department’s Nongame and Endangered Wildlife Program coordinates research on bats in New Hampshire.

‘Cue The Grill Steak, Steak, Steak... By Chef Kelly Ross Welcome Back My Foodie Friends!! I trust you all had a great Memorial Day weekend and hope this finds you all well and digging on the beautiful weather we have been enjoying. To those here from out of town, Thank You for visiting as I know gas prices are a bad joke, so we as the local economy appreciate you coming up to our beautiful neck of the woods. I know

me and my dogs have been out daily, trying to enjoy and soak up as much of this sunshine as we can after months of being sort of “shut- in”, so to speak. After close to a month in the hospital back in November, I have been chomping at the bit to get outside and attempt to get parts of my life back. Way back in the day, one of my favorite commercials was the little elderly lady screaming “Where’s the Beef.”

So in memory of her, today’s recipes are dedicated to best friend to most carnivores, that being beef, and in particular, steak off the grill. I know many people that have anxiety about cooking steaks, especially expensive cuts, on the grill for fear of overcooking them and wasting their hard-earned money. It’s like anything, the more you do it the more comfortable you will get with it. There really isn’t much worry though, especially once I guide you thru a few simple tricks and methods. One of the most common worries for the inexperienced person grilling, especially for a small crowd, is cooking all steaks to everyone’s desired temp. For the rookies out there, not to mention the veterans, I always suggest owning an instant read thermometer. Once you know what the steak feels like to the touch with your fingertip with each temp, the thermometer isn’t nearly as vital. For those not overly familiar with meat temperatures, here is your guide. Rare: 120-130

603-528-2798

belknaplandscape.com

Medium Rare: 130-135 Medium: 135-145 Medium Well: 145-155 Well Done: 155+ One of the next big questions is “What cut of steak should I grill?”, and that is one that is completely up to you. If budget is low, it’s very easy to create a delicious steak using a London broil, flank, or almost any lesser cut using a great marinade and most definitely using a needling tenderizer. If you don’t own one, buy one! It’s one of the best investments any cook or griller could purchase, and they only run $25-$35 and you won’t believe the difference in flavor and tenderness when using a cheaper cut. Don’t get me wrong, you can use them on any cut, but I don’t bother with an expensive cut as they are already tender. A common question I am asked is whether to close the lid of your grill when grilling steaks, and again, it often depends on the steak, not so much the cut, but the thickness of the steaks. • ‘Cue the Grill continued on page 19

The Belknap Landscape Family of Companies

May 30, 2022 | THE LAKER | Page 19 • ‘Cue the Grill continued from page 18 I don’t think it’s much of a mystery that the thicker the cut, the more incredible a steak is, especially if you love a traditional medium rare or similar temp. If cooking a steak an inch or more in thickness, I lightly rub olive oil on the steaks, season accordingly, place on the well-oiled grill on medium high to high heat, close it up for a few minutes to create a good crust on the outside, do the same on the other side, close it for a few and then open it up and start figuring out what temps everyone wants. For those who love a good, rare steak, you won’t need to keep it closed as long, but again, much of the decision making will be determined by the thickness. If you like your steak medium well to well, the lid should be closed longer. Before we get into recipes, another thing to keep in mind. If you go out to eat often and have a tendency of ordering a great cut of beef, such as a ribeye, NY strip, or filet mignon, you have likely noticed that most are topped with a compound butter. Compound butters can truly be a huge addition. Expensive cuts don’t need to be marinated, so generally once oiled and seasoned, grill as described and then often topped with a generous pat of your favorite butter. Garlic is often a key ingredient but any of your favorite spices and butter can create an incredible instant butter sauce. The restaurant way to make a compound butter is to leave your butter at room temp and once soft, put in a bowl with all spices you want to use,

and mix well. Lay out a sheet of plastic wrap, place the butter onto the plastic in the shape of a long tube, about 1-1 ½ inches in diameter, then roll the plastic around it forming a tube. Twist the ends of the plastic and place in the freezer or refrigerator. Once ready to use, pull about an hour before serving and once the steaks are coming off the grill, slice the butter into ½ - ¾ inch slices, peel off the plastic and place a pat on top of each steak and watch the delicious flavor melt and slide over the steak. Put leftover butter back in the freezer until needed next time because you will want to use it again, and again. I don’t use these butters on all steaks, but at times, it’s just what the flavor doctor ordered. OK, let’s get down and dirty with some kick butt steaks. We will try a few different cuts today, but let’s start the show with the Cadillac of all cuts of beef, the tenderloin, alias the filet mignon. It’s no mystery how incredibly tender this cut is as I have eaten my share where you don’t even need a knife to cut into it. Yes, this is the most expensive cut, and I don’t expect anybody to be cooking this on a regular basis, but when the timing is right as well as the occasion, you are going to be psyched to lean on this recipe. The filets are seasoned with a few dry spices, although if you want to use fresh herbs, just double the amount of the dry in the recipe. This recipe is for 4 filets, prep is 15 minutes, cook time is 10-15, but there is a 2–4-hour rest time with the spices and olive oil under refrigeration before prepping and before grilling.

Herb Crusted Filet Mignon ¼ cup olive oil 2 cloves garlic, minced 4 filet mignons, about 1 ½ inches thick, 8 oz each 1 tsp dried rosemary 1 tsp dried thyme 1 tsp dried marjoram 1 tsp salt 1 tsp black pepper In a covered microwave-safe bowl, heat the olive oil and garlic in the microwave for 50 to 60 seconds. Remove and allow to cool. Add the rosemary, thyme, and marjoram, and stir. Let sit for 5 minutes. Place the filet mignon into a shallow glass dish. Pour the herb mixture over the steaks, turning them over to coat evenly. Cover and let marinate for 2 to 4 hours in the refrigerator. Remove the beef from the fridge 30-45 minutes prior to placing on the grill. Preheat your oiled grill for high heat once the beef has been resting at room temp long enough, and season both sides with salt and pepper. Place the steaks on the grill and cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or to the desired doneness with the hood down for most of the cooking time. Remove steaks from the heat and let rest for at least 5 minutes. If you want a compound butter on these, have at it, you won’t be sorry.

I’m going to bounce all over the board with different cuts of steak today, so let’s grill something more economical this time, but most definitely chock full of mega-flavor, and it will be tender as well, I promise. This one takes on the flavors of Cuba, which is some pretty darn good flavor. Using a flank steak means definitely break out your needling tenderizer as this is the perfect cut of meat for it. The needler is a cartridge with many little knives that is used to stab the meat with, giving it a bunch of tiny holes in it. Do so on both sides, and then when marinating, those yummy flavors will work its way right into the beef, which gives it extra flavor, plus the marinade breaks down the muscles and tendons to tenderize it. It’s a huge win/win, believe me. You will wonder why you didn’t invest in one of these things earlier. This recipe will also serve 4, prep and cook times combined is only a half hour, but you will want to marinade this one much longer than the last one.

In a glass or ceramic baking dish, pour all but ¼ cup of the marinade over the steak and turn to coat, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for no less than 6 hours and up to 24 hours, which is recommended. Light your oiled grill and set to medium high. Remove the steak from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Season with salt and pepper and grill, turning once, until lightly charred and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 125 degrees, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the steak to a carving board and let rest for 5 minutes. The meat will continue to cook some but cook to a higher temp if you feel the need. Thinly slice the meat against the grain and on a diagonal and transfer to a platter with the mango slices and lime wedges. Drizzle with the reserved marinade and serve. So Good!! While we are on the subject of flank steak, let’s go with this theme one more time. As opposed to the last recipe, this one is accompanied by a scrumptious avocado corn salsa, which makes for a great marriage with this steak recipe. Again, please trust me in that the needler tenderizer will make all the difference you could imagine. Flank steak is easy money and with the extra help we are going to give it, it may become one of your favorite “Go To” slabs of beef when grilling. As usual with any marinated flank steak, this is

at its best when marinating for close to a day. This recipe is for a 2 ½ lb. flank, which usually feeds 4, unless it’s me and my buds, then it feeds 2 if you are lucky. This is a great recipe to double up on, or more for that matter. Prep is quick, as is the grilling. Grilled Garlic Herb Flank Steak with Avocado Corn Salsa 2 ½ lbs. flank steak ½ cup extra virgin olive oil 3 garlic cloves, minced 1 tbsp chopped rosemary 1 tbsp chopped thyme 1 tbsp chopped oregano 1 tsp salt ½ tsp pepper For the Avocado Corn Salsa: 2 avocados, diced 3 Roma tomatoes, diced 12 oz frozen corn kernels ½ red onion, diced ¼ cup chopped cilantro Juice of one lime In a large bowl, add olive oil, garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Combine well. Using your needler, stab both sides of the beef all over. Pop the marinade into a large ziplock, add the steak and squeeze out the air, massage well so it is well coated and toss into the refrigerator. Let marinade for at least 2 hours and up to 24. While marinating, build your salsa by adding the avocado, tomatoes, corn, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice to a medium sized bowl and mix until combined and refrigerate as well. Once ready to grill, grease it up and set to a medium high heat on one side and low

on the other. Add the flank steak to the hot side of the grill. Let the steak sear on high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side and then move to the low heat and let cook until desired doneness, closing the lid as needed. Remove steak from heat and cover with aluminum foil and let rest for 10 minutes. Once ready, slice the steak across the grain on the diagonal, plate or platter the slices, and top with avocado corn salsa. So, are you friends going to be OK with me sharing something besides just steak recipes? Steak will still be a huge part of these, so let’s go the Surf ‘n’ Turf route. I have two for you, one with shrimp and one with lobster, so let’s focus. My suggestion on the steak is either a NY sirloin or a porterhouse/T-bone, but anything works. This first one isn’t rocket science, but I’m guessing many of you will say “Why didn’t I think of this?” This recipe if for 4 of you and goes together very quickly, as in maybe a half hour from prep to final product. You will truly be saying you feel like you are eating at a five-star restaurant. Garlic Butter Grilled Steak & Shrimp 1 ½ sticks unsalted butter, room temp 1 ½ tbsp minced garlic, about 6 cloves 1 ½ tbsp fresh parsley, chopped Juice of 1 small lemon ¼ cup parmesan cheese 1 tbsp olive oil 4 NY strip steaks, or T-Bones, or whatever cut you want, about 12+ oz each, the thicker the better

Salt and pepper 1 lb. shrimp, shelled and deveined, 20/24 in size. If frozen, make sure thawed and pat them dry w/ paper towels before grilling Combine the first 5 ingredients and set aside. Heat an oiled grill over high heat. Pat steaks dry with paper towel. Brush lightly with oil and generously season with salt and pepper. Grill steaks for 4-5 minutes each side until browned and cooked to desired doneness. Once you flip the steaks over, turn the heat down to medium-medium high, season the shrimp with salt and pepper and grill for 4-5 minutes, turning over after 2-3 minutes, pulling when pink in color and white on the inside. Spread half the butter over the steaks, microwave the rest of the butter until just melted, 20-30 seconds and toss in a bowl with the hot shrimp. Split the shrimp up over the 4 steaks and pour the rest of the melted butter over the shrimp/steaks. Awesome!!! Let’s move onto the King & Queen of the Surf & Turf, a grilled rib eye and a grilled lobster tail. Unless you are a vegetarian or are allergic to shellfish, I would think you would be all over this, although it is an expensive dish to make, buy hey, if doing a special occasion or just want to do an upscale dinner for 2 or more, this is where it’s at my friends. This truly is the ultimate elegant meal for a great bunch of lucky invites. The recipe for both halves of this S&T are done as easily as they are delicious. The lobster part of the recipe is good as is, but if you want to add anything to the rib eye, such as a sauce or compound butter, or even better, caramelized onions, that’s your call my friends. The ideal scenario is to cook the steaks on one side of the grill and the lobster tails on the other. Depending on the size of both, they may take the same amount of time to cook, but it’s not a big deal if the beef comes off the barbie first since it’s never a bad thing for steaks to rest for a few min• ‘Cue the Grill continued on page 21

A truly rewarding dinner awaits you. Grilled Lobster Tail and Rib Eye Surf &Turf For The Steaks 4 rib eye steaks, 12-16 oz each, ideally at least 1 inch thick Salt, or seasoned salt, and fresh grind black pepper Granulated garlic Montreal steak seasoning 2 tbsp vegetable oil 1 tbsp unsalted butter For The Lobster Tails 4 lobster tails, ideally 8 oz each, but hopefully at least 4-6 oz each, fresh or frozen 1 tbsp olive oil ¼ tsp sea salt ¼ tsp black pepper ½ cup unsalted butter, room temp 2 cloves of garlic, crushed 3 tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice ½ tsp smoked paprika, or regular paprika 1 pinch cayenne pepper For the beef, make sure they sit out at room temp for 20-30 minutes. Lightly oil both sides of the steaks, season both sides of them with salt, fresh grind black pepper, granulated garlic and the Montreal seasoning. Heat the grill to medium high to high on one side, and the other side to medium to medium high for the lobster. Grill the steaks for 3-5 minutes on each side depending on the thickness of them, as well as how well your grill cranks out the heat. As

for the lobster tails, combine all ingredients except for the lobster and set aside. Whether grilling fresh or a thawed frozen lobster tails, using kitchen shears, cut down the center of the shell lengthwise, starting from the end opposite the tail fins, continuing down until you reach the tail but without cutting the tail. You want to cut through the top of the shell, but don’t cut through the bottom shell. Use a knife to cut lengthwise along the ridge in the center, cutting through the lobster meat but not through the bottom shell, then use your thumbs and fingers to spread open the shell. Run a skewer through the center of the flesh lengthwise to prevent curling. Brush the lobster tails with olive oil. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Place lobster tails on the grill flesh side down and cook without moving for 5-6 minutes, until the flesh is starting to brown, and the shells start to turn red. Flip the lobster tails to shell side down and brush the softened seasoned garlic butter over the lobster meat but try to contain the butter to the meat/flesh within the shell only to avoid butter dripping onto the grill creating a flare up of flames. Flames are great under the steak, but not so much for the lobster. Close the grill and cook until opaque, usually no more than 1-2 minutes once you turn them. You will love this Surf & Turf, and as a suggestion, double up the lobster butter recipe and drop some of it on the ribeye. This is a marriage made in heaven. Because I feel like tossing one more recipe your way, let’s try some steak tips since we haven’t done any tips yet. This recipe is for 3 pounds of tips which will feed 4-6 of you depending on the

people and what you have for side dishes. Again, the prep is quick as well as the grilling time, but I again suggest marinating up to 24 hours. Louisiana Steak Tips 3 lbs. steak tips. I usually cut my own from a top round, or you can buy precut tips ½ cup olive oil 1 tbsp granulated garlic ½ tbsp ground cumin ½ tbsp chili powder ½ tsp black pepper ½ tsp salt 1-2 tbsp of hot sauce of choice depending on your taste buds 3 medium Vidalia onions and 3 red bell peppers Whether you cut your own tips or buy as is, always take a needling tenderizer to them very generously and pop them in a ziplock. Combine the rest of the ingredients in a bowl, mix well and pour over the tips in the bag. Seal and massage the tips and refrigerate at least 4 hours and no more 24. Once ready to grill, slice the onions and peppers and

sauté them up about halfway. You still want the peppers somewhat firm. Set aside. On a hot greased grill, grill the tips for about 4 minutes, flip them and cook for another 3-4 minutes for a nice medium rare, depending on their size. While cooking, put the onions and peppers in a sauté pan and put on the other side of a hot grill to finish them up. Split the tips up over the individual plates, top with the peppers and onions and start inhaling these bite size pieces of delectable pleasure. Well, that’s another chapter in the books my friends. Enjoy these recipes, keep on grillin’, and always remember to keep those taste buds smiling. I’ll be back next week with fun recipes with the theme of a Bike Week mentality since it’s that time of year again, so don’t think you are going to be seeing any lite fare or salads. I’ll save those for later. If anyone wants to reach out with any questions or feedback, please contact me at fenwaysox10@gmail.com

Watch Out for Moose Remember to brake for moose when traveling on New Hampshire’s roadways. There were 74 collisions between moose and vehicles in New Hampshire in 2021; in the last five years the state has averaged 93 collisions per year. While moose are active year-round, May through October are high-risk months for collisions because moose venture onto roadways to eat the remaining salt residue from winter surface treatments. The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department works diligently to increase awareness of the danger of moose and vehicle collisions. “Moose are an iconic species and a tremendous resource of our state, but it can be dangerous to encounter them on the road,” said New Hampshire Fish and Game Moose Project Leader Henry Jones. “By following a few simple rules, motorists can greatly reduce their chance of a moose–vehicle collision or the severity of personal injury if they do hit a moose.” When driving on New Hampshire roads, keep these points in mind: Moose and vehicle collisions happen statewide on all types of roads. Moose collisions occur most often

f r o m M a y through October. While collisions can happen at any time of day, they occur most frequent-

ly at dusk and at night. Moose are dark brown, making them hard to see against pavement, especially at night. Don’t depend on “eye shine” (reflected light from headlights) to alert you to a moose’s presence; moose don’t always look at an approaching vehicle. To reduce the chance of a collision— or the severity of occupant injury if you do hit a moose: • Do not drive at high speeds • Wear your seatbelt • Scan the sides of the road • Be able to stop within the zone of your headlights • Use high beams whenever possible • If you see a moose, slow down or stop if necessary, until you have passed it or it has left the road Make sure your moose encounters are safe for you and the moose: Brake for Moose—It Could Save Your Life!

OHRV Safety Education Classes Offered Summer is on its way, and free, in-person OHRV Safety Education classes are now being scheduled in the Granite State. To operate an off-highway recreational vehicle (OHRV) in New Hampshire, any person age 12 or older must have either a valid motor vehicle driver’s license or have successfully completed an approved OHRV/Snowmobile Safety Education class, which are taught by instructors and staff trained by the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department. Those interested in attending a class should register soon by visiting www.wildlife. state.nh.us/ohrv/education.html.

OHRV/Snowmobile Safety Education classes can also be conveniently taken online. With recent changes to the state laws, all online classes will include a combination of practical OHRV and snowmobile safety information and the rules that apply to all trail riders. The cost for the virtual class is $34.95. Learn more or register by visiting www.wildnh.com/ohrv/education-online.html. “The online safety courses provide a convenient option for students to obtain their New Hampshire Rider Certificate, at their own pace, while learning key safety information important for riding both OHRVs and snowmobiles,” said Captain Michael Eastman, OHRV/ Snowmobile Education and Law Enforcement Coordinator for the New

Hampshire Fish and Game Department. “The entire course can be taken on a smartphone, tablet, or computer and offers a fun approach to learning by using live-action video and interactive learning modules.” All children under the age of 14 must be accompanied by a licensed adult over the age of 18 when operating an OHRV or snowmobile, including on property belonging to their parents, grandparents, or guardians. Many of the trained volunteer instructors who lead in-person classes are affiliated with one of the more than 26 OHRV and 100 snowmobile clubs in New Hampshire. “Joining a club is a great way to learn about safe riding, support local landowners, and help maintain trails for your own and others’ enjoyment,” Eastman said. For more information on how to become involved with an OHRV club, visit www.nhohva.org. For snowmobile club information, visit www.nhsa.com. In addition to safety education, NH Fish and Game Conservation Officers will be out on the trails this spring and summer conducting patrols to detect and apprehend impaired OHRV operators, enforce speed limits, and deter unlawful off-trail riding. These ongoing initiatives will help to keep the state’s trails open and safe for all outdoor enthusiasts during the upcoming seasons.

On any weekday morning a visitor will likely see Fledglings Nature Based Preschoolers learning and playing. They might hear garden volunteers discussing which veggies are ready to plant, which beds to weed, and which sections of the vast perennial gardens need invasive abatement. And they will certainly see and hear visitors of all ages taking the time to enjoy the views, the time in nature, and a connection to one another. With plenty of daylight, moderate temperatures, and the school year coming to a close, the possibilities of learning and teaching in nature seem infinite in the summertime. During the darker and colder months, however, obstacles arise. That’s why the nonprofit, established in 1997, has spent the last three years developing a master site plan and considering ways to overcome seasonal limitations such as a lack of indoor heated space, limited restroom and kitchen facilities, and a challenging driveway and parking lot configuration. This spring, construction of Phase I of the master site plan is underway at Prescott Farm to accomplish these goals. The building project, approved by the City of Laconia Planning board this winter, has three major components: A 3,610 sf Innovation Center that will include a five-station teaching kitchen,

maker space, screened porch, restroom facilities, storage, and a maintenance area; A 1,150 sf finished space in the ell connected to the barn that will include public restroom facilities, a small classroom/meeting room, and a small office; and An expansion of the parking areas with improvements to the current driveway that will improve traffic flow and safety during drop-off and pick-up times. Prescott Farm Executive Director Jude Hamel said that the interest in nature- and outdoor-based learning experiences is greater than ever. “After two years of being ‘cooped up’ due to the pandemic, we’re seeing more and more people participating in our programs. COVID 19 has brought the need for people of all ages to connect with nature and with each other into sharp relief.” The new learning spaces will vastly increase the number and scope of onsite programs that Prescott Farm educators and guest instructors can host. “We are thrilled that our organization is in a position to become an even bigger resource for the Lakes Region,” said Robert Ewell, a resident of Laconia and a member of the Prescott Farm board of directors. “We already see about 3,000 program participants and visitors annually and when this project is complete, we estimate we will see that number increase substantially.” Prescott Farm’s Master Plan was

developed with input from the Board, staff, community volunteers, and with consultation from Lavallee Brensinger Architects. The property project is managed by Conneston Construction, Inc. (CCI). Funding for the project is provided by a grant from The Samuel P. Pardoe Foundation and by individual donors who support Prescott Farm. Over the past 25 years, The Samuel P. Pardoe Foundation has donated $11 million in grants for education, human services, and land and resource management to Lakes Region organizations. In July 2021, the foundation announced its plan to wind down its grant-making program in the Lakes Region when it awarded fifteen valedictory multi-year grants totaling $600,000 to area nonprofits that meet the needs of Lakes Region residents and protect the region’s environment. Support for the capital

Prescott Farm Environmental Education Center’s Jude Hamel (Executive Director), Bob Ewell and Ian Blackman (Board Members) were on hand for the groundbreaking. expansion at Prescott Farm is considered to be another wind-down activity of the foundation, however partial support for Prescott Farm’s operations is expected to continue. Early stages of the site work at Prescott Farm began in April with project completion forecast by the end of November.

Meredith Fine Craft Gallery Welcomes New Artists The Meredith Fine Craft Gallery would like to welcome two League-juried artists, Laurel MacDuffie and Donlin Foreman, to their gallery. At the age of eight Laurel MacDuffie and her family moved to Maine and lived without neighbors or electricity for nine years. Later MacDuffie earned an M.A. in Art Therapy from Lesley University, where she learned “clay heals at the deepest level of body memory.” To MacDuffie the natural world offers a beautiful source of healing and inspiration for her work. Her pottery is works of “comfort,” comes in a variety of down-to-earth colors, and is designed to fit perfectly in your hand. Foreman realized he had an affinity for working with leather when he was in high school but took a break to immerse himself in the arts of dancing, choreography, and directing. Eventually he made his way back to working with the leather medium and established a small studio in NH. His studio, Horse Hill Studio, makes and sells objects made from leather, roofing slate, and repurposed wood.

Craft Fairs Extraordinaire By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper Joyce Endee knows how to put on a fabulous arts and crafts fair. She has been organizing and producing fairs all over New Hampshire for many years, via her business, Joyce’s Craft Shows. “I began sort of my mistake,” she says with a laugh. It is fair set-up day for her Spring Fun Craft Fair show (on May 21 and 22) at Tanger Outlets in Tilton, and she answers questions between welcoming back old-friend vendors after a long winter. Everyone is setting up their booths for the fair and they are eager to show and sell their wares - often made over the winter - to the public. Many are returning vendors and have been participating in Joyce’s fairs for years. New vendors are also welcomed and soon become part of the fold of creative people who meet the public all weekend from their tented booth space at the Tanger outlet parking lot. But first they stop by to check in with Joyce and get their vendor assigned space and have a chance to say hello and chat for a few minutes. As for how the fairs began, Joyce remembers, “It was 1992 and I was on the board of directors of the Nashua Humane Society. We were set to do a fundraiser arts and crafts show, which I was involved in organizing. We were set to go when the shelter closed and wanted me to cancel the fair. I had worked very hard and had commitments from the participating vendors and I wanted to hold the fair. It was unintentional, but I knew I could do it, and so I held the fair.” It was a success and presented at a hall in Nashua. “It just happened!” Joyce adds. “It went well and although I intended to only do the one fair, the vendors asked me if I would consider doing another one.” It was indeed a lot of work to plan, advertise and execute a fair, but she thought about it and decided to do yet

another fair. It also went well and after moving with her family to the Lakes Region in the 1990s, she decided to continue presenting fairs. “My kids were young, and this allowed me to be at home with them. I had taught school before this, but doing the fairs gave me more time to raise my children,” Joyce explains. “I enjoyed doing the fairs, so I just kept doing them in the Lakes Region.” Back when Joyce began to present the fairs, she says the events were significantly smaller in vendor numbers. The idea of arts and crafts fairs was taking hold, but it was a process. “We had about 50 to 60 vendors then, and now we typically have at least 90 vendors per show,” she says. “The Tanger fair has 92 vendors for the May show and the North Conway arts and crafts show (held on May 28 to 29 at Schouler Park) has 122 vendors.” These might seem like a staggering number of vendors selling their wares in one location, but Joyce, a one-woman show, can handle it. Years of experience, a knowledge of what to do and how to plan the space to give each vendor the best chance to put their products in front of an eager shopping audience, gives her the confidence to produce great events. Added to this, she really knows the vendors, and many are like old friends. “When I started doing the fairs around 30 years ago, we had more floral and

fabric creations, and now it has changed somewhat. We have a greater diversity of products,” Joyce explains. Many items are very popular, and customers come back year after year to find the vendors and their products at Joyce’s craft shows. Some of those items are chainsaw woodcarving, which has become popular now, as well as outdoor metal art and furniture. “For example, one of the vendors, who is an ex-Marine, makes macrame chairs. Where else would you find such a unique product?” she asks. By November of each year, Joyce is organized for the upcoming fairs and has filled the vendor booth spaces. “I have to be organized,” she adds. Instead of seeking out vendors and selling a space to them, these days the vendors find Joyce and eagerly reserve their space for upcoming shows. “I’ve been doing this a long time, and people know me.” A lot of the vendors at Joyce’s fairs do extremely well and for some vendors, this is their full-time job. Others use their fair sales as a supplemental income. No matter how each vendor approaches their sales, all find shoppers at their booths. Joyce is on-hand at each sale and if the fair is far enough way, such as in North Conway or Nashua, she stays overnight during the fair weekend. Food has become part of Joyce’s fairs

and some new vendors from the variety of products are pickles, jams, gourmet candies, a food truck and returning favorites including kettle corn and freshly squeezed lemonade. (Products vary from show to show.) Joyce says her fairs throughout the summer and into the fall take place rain or shine, because vendors bring their own tents, which offer protection for their products. At a few of Joyce’s fairs, she has huge tents to house some of the vendors, but many bring their own tented set-ups. “My vendors are from all over New England, but most are from New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, with some from Massachusetts, and Connecticut,” she explains. As she talks, a returning vendor stops by to say hello…and to give Joyce a dozen farm-fresh eggs from his chickens. It is this dedication and fondness for Joyce as they return every year to take part on the fairs that underscore just how beloved the events are to so many people. With 16 fairs scheduled for this year, Joyce says she has no plans to branch out further. Challenges such as Covid did not force her to stop doing the fairs, and she says, “I was fortunate to get permission to continue, although I did not hold any fairs at inside halls in 2020, but last year and this year, I will have some inside events,” she adds. New this year, Joyce mentioned she will have “Joyce’s Marketplace” on her website. It will allow website visitors to find a link of 12 to 14 categories of arts and crafts with vendors. Clicking on a vendor’s name will take you directly to their website. You will be able to shop through Joyce’s online site and find a beloved vendor. The addition to her website is being worked on, and it should be up and running by July 1. For a complete list of upcoming arts and crafts show this year, visit www.joycescraftshow.com or call 603-387-1510.

Jolly The New Trolley in Town By Rosalie Triolo Photos courtesy Wolfeboro Trolley Company For the past 35 years, the red and green trolley, known as Molly the Trolley, has been the summer ambassador for Wolfeboro. Veteran drivers with years of experience and a wealth of knowledge of Wolfeboro’s long and captivating history are eager to share colonial stories with the Trolley’s passengers. This year the Wolfeboro Trolley Company is adding a second trolley, Jolly, which will run a Park ‘n Ride Shuttle Service between the Kingswood Arts Center, 21 McManus Road, Wolfeboro and the Railroad Station in Downtown Wolfeboro every half hour in July and August. Jolly, also a red and green trolley, was built in the fall of 2021 in Wells, Maine. Owner of the Wolfeboro Trolley Company, and one of its veteran drivers, Kathy Fairman shared a little history of how Jolly got its name. Her great-grand parents in 1894 purchased land on Jolly Island on Lake Winnipesaukee in Gilford, and built a cabin, which for seven generations has remained in the Fairman family. Whether you are a resident of Wolfeboro, an employee of a downtown business, live on the outskirts in surrounding towns, or vacationing from out-of-state, finding a parking space in downtown Wolfeboro in summer is

quite a challenge. The parking spaces which are available have a two-hour limit. If you are fortunate enough to find a space, you will have to allow enough time to browse through a few shops. You may want to stop at a one of Wolfeboro’s restaurants for breakfast or lunch, or prefer to sit and relax on a bench in Cate Park overlooking Wolfeboro Bay, and watch boats tied to a piling at the new docks lazily rock in time with the wake of a passing boat. “The goal is to keep as many cars as possible out of downtown Wolfeboro,” said Kathy Fairman. She explained, “The shuttle will do this in two ways: First, by providing a place for folks who work downtown to park, and an affordable ride to work. The Shuttle will

run every day from 8:00AM-6:00PM, beginning July 1 through August 31, every half-hour (example: 8:00 8:30 etc.) from Kingswood Arts Center, 21 McManus Rd., Wolfeboro with return service to the Railroad Station in downtown Wolfeboro on the quarter-hour (example: 8:15AM 8:45AM etc.). This schedule will make it easy for these same folks to get back to their cars. Secondly, by providing a safe, convenient place for visitors and residents to leave their cars and stay downtown as long as they want without having to move their cars after two hours or get a ticket.” There is no charge for parking at the Kingswood Arts Center and All-Day Park & Ride Passes are affordable: $6/Adult, $3/Child 4-12 and

Jolly the Trolley stops at the Railroad Station in downtown Wolfeboro, where all passengers disembark and those passengers participating in the Hop On/Hop Off 45-minute narrated tour of historic colonial Wolfeboro will transfer to Molly the Trolley. The tour begins at the Town Docks or the old Railroad Station. All-Day Hop On & Off Tour Passes: $8/Adult, $4/Child 4-12 and under four are free. All Day Combo Passes, which include both: $10/Adult, $5/Child and Under 4 ride free. A team of nine drivers including Don Stantial, Sandy MacMartin, Kirby Cray, Kirk Sharrow, Rich Vigliotti, Ron White, John Smith, Rich LaMontagne and owner, Kathy Fairman work together driving Molly and Jolly on the Park ‘n Ride Shuttle and/or the Hop On & Off Tours. Since 1987 Molly’s tour drivers have enjoyed recounting facts, details, and stories of Wolfeboro’s long and brilliant history. It is “The Oldest Summer Resort in America.” Retired Driver Ken Berglund said, “Giving tours helps me appreciate why I’m here. The passengers think I am so lucky to live in this beautiful area, and to have such a fun job. And they’re right.” Sandy MacMartin feels “It’s the best summer job ever.” Don Stan• Jolly continued on page 29

There you are transported back in time to witness Wolfeboro’s Colonial way of life. You will also learn about the Wright Museum with its distinctive WWII tank breaking through the front brick wall of the building, and inside fascinating memorabilia from the “Greatest Generation,” the New Hampshire Boat Museum and its many programs and exhibit Hall on Center Street, and The Libby Museum of Natural History built in 1911 with a collection of mounted native animals, birds and reptiles, and a few that are not so native. The narrator will talk about the area’s hiking trails, boat cruises, other outdoor activities, shopping and dining. Sewall Road is itself steeped in Wolfeboro’s history, as you pass homes of notable figures in history and celebrities. Special Events – Molly and Jolly the Trolley will transport groups to Special Events. Wolfeboro for years has been the venue for the entertaining and popular Great Waters Music Festival. Jolly

Kathy explained, “If enough tickets are sold this year, Jolly the Trolley, this fall, will transport fans of History and Mystery on narrated 90-minute Haunted/History Trolley Tours of Wolfeboro.” “The summer parking problem didn’t go away with the Pandemic,” said Fairman. “It’s been as bad as ever, maybe worse.” She described the shuttle as another example of a Wolfeboro public/private partnership, one involving dozens of businesses as well as the Town and School District. She hopes townspeople will get on board as well Kathy added, “The shuttle will be financially supported by business owners, who buy signs on the interior and exterior of the new trolley, by employers and locals who buy Season Park n’ Ride passes, and visitors who buy All Day Passes” Molly the Trolley narrated weekend tours begins Memorial Day Weekend, and daily tours begin July 1. Details regarding costs for Seasonal and Daily passes, dates, times and sites of tours, and costs for Special Events tours, and group tours, may be found on the Wolfeboro Trolley Company’s website wolfeborotrolley.com, or by emailing Kathy at info@wolfeborotrolley.com, or phone 603-569-1080.

LRSO Student Concerto Competition Winner The Lakes Region Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of conductor and music director Benjamin Greene, is pleased to announce the winner of the LRSO 2022 Student Concerto Competition. Violinist Sean Jang, a junior at St. Paul’s School, was selected as the winner at the live auditions held on May 7 at the Wesley Methodist Church in Gilford. Sean gave an emotionally charged performance of the first movement of Jean Sibelius’ Violin Concerto in D minor, Op. 47. He will perform this piece with the LRSO live in concert on November 5, 2022 at Plymouth State University. We also congratulate second place finishers, flute duet-ists Akira McDowell (Merrimack HS) and Elsie Munsterteiger (Bedford HS) on their performance of Vivaldi’s Concerto for

Two Flutes, and third place finisher violinist Jennifer Jang (St. Paul’s School) on her performance of Edouard Lalo’s Symphonie Espagnole. The LRSO thanks our patrons, sponsors, and Wesley Methodist Church for their continued support, keeping orchestral music alive and well here in the beautiful Lakes Region of New Hampshire. If you’ve never experienced a live orchestra performance, we invite you to join our musical journey. Join our mailing list at www.LRSO.org and follow us at facebook.com/LRSO1 to stay updated on all our performances. Please be sure to tell a friend!

Turn Your Yard Into A Vacation-Worthy Oasis Warm weather means more time to relax outdoors. For those homeowners lucky enough to have entertaining spaces outside, spring and summer provides plenty of opportunities to enjoy fresh air under the sun or stars. Over the last few years, families have become especially familiar with what works about their yards and where there is room for improvement. Pandemic-related travel restrictions and early stay-at-home mandates resulted in plenty of time spent in backyards on staycations. Even though many such restrictions have been lifted, homeowners may have seen the benefits of having functional respites right outside their doors. A backyard renovation can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $50,000. The American Society of Landscape Architects suggests homeowners budget the cost of a major landscaping project at between 5 and 10 percent of their home’s value. Large or small, here are ways to make an outdoor oasis at home.

Create living privacy Living in close proximity to neighbors may make privacy harder to come by. Wood or vinyl fences, however effective, may not provide the all-natural look many people desire. Vertical gardening, which trains easy-care vines like English ivy, Clematis or various climbing roses to grow on trellis or fencing adds greenery and privacy. Hedges and fast-growing shrubs also can be used for natural barriers. Install a pool Pools are the ultimate spots to cool off on hot days. An elaborately shaped inground pool can blend in with the landscape and offer the ultimate hangout zone. However, above-ground pools also serve the purpose and are more budget-friendly. Stock tank pools are popular among those who want minimal pool expenditure or have small spaces to work with. Stock tanks are metal vessels traditionally used as watering holes for livestock. They also can be “adult kiddie pools” when

combined with some plumbing. Galvanized steel frames make them sturdy. With floats and other accessories, they can become the perfect oasis. Provide outdoor atmosphere Create a bespoke bistro vibe by using freestanding planters and posts along with hanging lights to make an intimate outdoor hangout spot at night. For those with permanent structures, like a deck or a gazebo, lights can be strung across the area or on railings or edging. Extend the living space Decks and patios can help make outdoor entertaining areas more comfortable by eliminating the need to sit on the grass or gravel. Plus, they add

another “room” to the home. When paired with weatherproof patio furniture, such as sofas, loungers and tables, a private seating area can be crafted and utilized for any number of entertaining desires. Hang a hammock Few things evoke feelings of relaxation better than a hammock. Fitted between two trees (or two posts if trees are sparse), a hammock is an ideal place to grab a nap or read a book. Additional oasis-inspired ideas include outdoor kitchens, letting up lanterns, cascading water features, and bird feeders to attract the sounds of nature. ~ Metro
