Autumn Walks and Hikes trees, wildflowers and an assortment of wild mushrooms. For longer daywalks or day-hikes, keeping up your energy is also important. For an easy snack, you can either make or buy trail mixes. Essential to having a safe and enjoyable walk or hike in the woods is footwear. Although the weather may be turning cooler, ticks can still present a problem. You will need sturdy rubbersoled shoes or hiking boots, calf-length socks, long pants you can tuck into your socks, a hat and if you plan on being out most of the day, a nylon hooded windbreaker, just in case it should rain.

Moultonborough’s Castle in the Clouds Brook Walk is a moderate to slightly strenuous walk/hike. It is comprised of seven waterfalls, Roaring Falls, Twin Falls, Whittier Falls, The Cascades, Emerald Pool Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, each stunning in its own right, culminating with the dramatic cascade of the Falls of Song. As you descend to the Falls of Song, a long wooden boardwalk makes it possible for you to get closer and experience the roar of the water rushing toward you and to feel the cool spray. Parking is available at the Ossipee Park Road across from the Castle Springs Bottling Plant off Route 171 in Moultonborough. Take the Shannon Pond trail to the kiosk, following directions to the Brook Walk (denoted by a White Blaze Trail Marker). At each of the seven falls you will find plaques describing the waterfalls and illustrations of how the falls looked many years ago. If you are

Photos and Story by Rosalie Triolo Fall is here! Temperatures are dropping and the characteristic changes of the fall season are imminent.

Chipmunks and squirrels are scurrying about finding and hoarding acorns for nourishment and preparing for the long winter ahead. Leaves transform from the lush green of summer to gold’s, bright yellows, oranges, brilliant reds and brownish reds of fall.

Rudyard Kipling, the British author, who lived in southern Vermont for a time, in 1900 wrote, “No pen can describe the turning of the leaves.”

Our beautiful state is rich with parks, woodland walking paths and hiking trails to fit everyone’s comfort level.

Go for a walk along a wooded trail or a hike through the woods, giving pause to your surroundings. Take time to breathe in the fresh, clean cool air of fall.

Some of us are fortunate enough to have walking trails right outside our backdoors. But before you venture outof-doors, here are a few suggestions to keep in mind. Whether you are out for a country walk along a short path or a lengthier walk in the woods or a more extensive hike, travel light, let someone know your route and enjoy nature’s ambience. Remember to take water. Even in cooler weather you will get thirsty and it is important to keep hydrated. Walking in the woods can be more fun if you know what you’re looking at. A pocketsize nature guide will help you to identify a variety of

Castle in the Clouds Lee Settlement Quest for kids and adults is available May through October. It is a fun 1.5 mile moderate hike with gentle uphill and downhill areas. It is a quest to find the Treasure Box. You can find a map and clues to the Treasure Box by Googling Castle in the Clouds Lee Settlement Quest. Parking is off Route 171 on Ossipee Park Road at the top before the gate and across from the Bottling Plant.

One of the first clues is to walk back to the old stone cottage. Follow the clues to find the Treasure Box. Sign in to record your achievement. The Quest will take between 60 to 90 minutes and there are also some interesting historical facts within the clues. Castle in the Clouds Conservation Area is conserved and stewarded by the Lakes Region Conservation Trust.

The Russell C. Chase Bridge Falls Path is an easy short walk of about .75 mile beginning behind the old Wolfeboro Scenic Railway Depot on Railroad Avenue in downtown Wolfeboro. Parking is also available at the Depot. If you refer to the Kiosk at the trailhead, you will see that Bridge Falls Path, an abandoned railroad bed, connects to the Cotton Valley RailTrail, which extends approximately

Bridge Falls Path 12 miles into Wakefield and the Old B&M (Boston & Maine Railroad) Turn Table. The Bridge Falls Path is a gentle walk along the banks of Back Bay. A peaceful atmosphere with benches inviting you to sit, enjoy the scenery, and on occasion you may come across a group of enthusiastic radio-controlled sailboat operators preparing their boats for competition, or just racing them for fun on Back Bay. Crossing over the bridge into Wolfeboro Falls, near the end of the path, are the remains of a foundation belonging to the Berry

Abenaki Tower Excelsior Mill built in 1840 and up until the late 1970s, it was a viable source for excelsior production. Leashed dogs are allowed on the path, and their owners are provided with green bag receptacles at the beginning and midway point into the trail, as well as trash disposal containers. The Path is the joint project of the National Park Service of the U.S. Department of the Interior and the New Hampshire Department of Resources and Economic Development.

Abenaki Tower Walk in Melvin Village is a short walk with a gradual climb to the Tower. Coming from Wolfeboro going north on Route 109, the parking area and trailhead, defined by an Abenaki Tower sign, are at the top of the hill off Route 109 just after 20 Mile Bay and across from Wawbeek Road. The Abenaki Native Americans or First Nation, also known as “Whitening Sky at Daybreak,” or “People of the Dawn,” chose Lake Winnipesaukee, known by either “Smile of the Great Spirit,” or “beautiful water in high place,” and other lakes in this

region for their summer encampments.

The observation tower is a three-story, 100-foot high structure with 48 steps to the top. If you are leery of heights, you may want to think twice before climbing, but the view from the top is resplendent or as some might say, “On a clear day you can see forever.”

Views extend across Moultonborough Bay north to the Ossipee and Sandwich Mountain Ranges. From the observation tower, the ever-sofaint white foam wakes appear to be trailing tiny toy motorboats. On your return trip down from the tower you may want to traverse the first half of the steps backwards until you come to the landing. Then you can negotiate the remaining steps forward. If you are taking little children along, be sure to hold their hands on the way up and down the tower’s steps. Abenaki Tower is maintained by a group of local volunteers, The Abenaki Tower Association in Melvin Village.

“Fall” in love with the Playhouse The summer theatre season has ended around NH, but at the Winnipesaukee Playhouse there’s a feast of performances for every appetite right up to the new year.

Murder is on the menu this autumn with the Playhouse’s professional team dishing up David Foley’s Deadly Murder, from October 10 to 13. An intricate plot offers twists and turns that defy even the best armchair detective to unwind – and offers nail-biting, edge-of-the-seat suspense following Camille, an upscale New Yorker of a certain age; Billy, the handsome young waiter she totes home from a society event; and Ted, the in-house security guard she calls in as one glittering night goes bad. Very bad.

Deadly, in fact.

As the October calendar gallops toward Halloween, turn to The Legend of Sleepy Hollow as the headless horseman takes audiences on a ride with this familiar tale.

The Winnipesaukee Education Department breathes life into the legend of Ichabod Crane, the lovely Katrina, competing suitor Brom, and the Horseman himself. Expect a creeping sense of seasonal horrors for all ages as the sleepy village

awakens. Performances run from October 25 to 27 at the Playhouse.

November offers a change from the previous schedule: the Winni Players, the Playhouse’s community theatre wing, has had to change their originally-planned production of Long Day’s Journey into Night and replace it with Edward Albee’s drama At Home At the Zoo. From a master of American drama, Albee’s play combines two one-act related “zoo” stories written 46 years apart that offer a fuller portrait of the

characters in these two taut stories; performing November 7 to 10.

Later in the month, the memorable and joyful perennial season favorite story of George Bailey, his family and town – and his angel – perform in live radio play fashion. Joe Landry’s It’s a Wonderful Life is a wonderful seasonal outing, November 22 and 23.

Urinetown is saturated with satire, treachery and adventure; all set to music and lyrics that overflow with references to capitalism,

corporations, politics, and shenanigans of every social order.

Mark Hollmann and Greg Kotis gave the world this Tony winner (Best Book and Best Score) in 2001, and critical acclaim continues as the Winnipesaukee Playhouse Education Department brings the play to life onstage in Meredith, from December 6 to 8.

Music and mirth are the mainstays of celebrating, and the annual holiday tradition at Winnipesaukee Playhouse will continue with a traditional British Panto on this side of the pond. Holiday pantomimes offer music hall, broad comedy treatments of treasured tales: this December, experience Beauty and the Beast, the original French fiction told in a surprising and delightful romp written as a new original by Playhouse founder and Producing Artistic Director Neil Pankhurst.

Make merry from December 19 to 31.

For information and tickets to all six productions from now through December at the Winnipesaukee Playhouse in Meredith. visit winnipesaukeeplayhouse.org or phone 603-279-0333.

Uncover the Magic of Natural Dyes at Sandwich Home Industries Sara Goodman, nationally and internationally recognized textile artist and juried member of the League of NH Craftsmen, will teach Natural Dyes Part 1: Indigo, Shibori, Clay & Rice Paste Resist on October 11, 12, and 13 and Natural Dyes Part 2: The Mordant Dyes on Cloth and Yarn on October 18, 19, and 20. Both classes will be taught at her studio in Center Harbor on Squam Lake from 9 am to 4 pm. Parts 1 and 2 may be taken individually or in sequence and are appropriate for teens and adults of all skill levels. Students do not need to have taken Part 1 to take Part 2.

In Part 1 students will learn to set up and maintain two different kinds of natural indigo vats: a fermentation vat with henna and an iron vat.

Several surface design techniques for making patterns on cloth will be covered. Japanese shibori is an exquisitely sophisticated form of tie dye. This ancient technique uses

An example of mordant dye on material.

various ways to reserve portions of cloth where the dye cannot penetrate. In this class, students will learn three essential methods: mokume (stitching), arashi (pole wrapping), and itajime (fold and

clamp). For experienced students, more variations can be taught.

Two resists will also be available for making patterns on cloth.

Students will use a clay resist that can be applied to cloth with a print block, silkscreen, or paintbrush.

Katasome, or Japanese rice paste resist, is another method for making patterns on cloth using a stencil.

In Part 2, the keys to successful dying will be covered: fiber preparation and proper mordanting.

Alum and iron will be used for mordants in various concentrations

and combinations. This will allow for a range of colors with each dye that is used, which will be applied to either cloth or yarn - cold as a thickened paste or hot in a full immersion dye bath. Concentrated natural dye extracts will be the main source of dyes, but both fresh and dried local dye stuffs will also be used.

Using thickened cold preparations of the mordants and dyes will allow students to print, paint and silk screen on cloth and yarn. Basic shibori techniques will be taught on cloth.

Both classes are appropriate for teens and adults of all skill levels and will be of interest to quilters and stitchers who want to dye their own cloth, as well as spinners, knitters and weavers who want to dye their yarn.

Online registration is available at http://centersandwich.nhcrafts. org/fiber-arts-classes/. You can also register by calling 603-284-6831, emailing sandwichcrafteducation@ gmail.com, or visiting Sandwich Home Industries at 32 Main Street, Center Sandwich. Tuition payment is expected with registration. The registration deadline is October 7.

Georgia Blues … and Comedy Coming to Plymouth There are no gimmicks, no big action shots, and no show-boating when it comes to Robert Cray. Instead, what you hear is a captivating tone mimicked by many but mastered by only one. Soulful Grammy winner and Blues Hall of Fame inductee Cray will perform at The Flying Monkey in Plymouth on Saturday, October 12 at 7:30 pm A quick glance at blues singer and guitarist Robert Cray by the numbers makes it very clear just how established the musician and his band are. Cray has been releasing music for more than 40 years, including 20 studio albums, 15 of which placed on the Billboard charts, and singles, like Smoking Gun, Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark and The Forecast (Calls for Pain). Cray’s trophy case holds five Grammys from 15 nominations and a “suitcase full” of the Blues Foundation’s Blues Music Awards.

The Georgia-born Cray, who eventually settled in Tacoma and attended Lakes High School in Lakewood, Washington, was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 2011 and received the Americana Music Lifetime Achievement Award for Performance in 2017.

“In the early days of the band we were getting back into O.V. Wright and paying attention to my favorite blues players; Buddy Guy, Otis Rush, Albert King and especially Albert Collins,” Cray says.

The Texas-born blues guitarist known as Master of the Telecaster, Albert Collins, sealed the deal on the Cray Band’s early direction. The musical highlight of Cray’s senior year was his class voting to bring Collins in to play a graduation party. The glow of a career in music began when Cray was a teen, and in 1974 it burst into flames as the Robert Cray Band came together in Eugene, Oregon.

With the group’s 1980 debut release, Who’s Been Talkin’, word about the Cray Band began to spread across the Northwest and down to California.

Playing packed bars and roadhouses, the Cray Band was thrilling. Blues and soul fans showed up religiously, but those steamy raucous sets also drew crowds whose tastes in music ranged from rock to funk and jazz.

The Cray Band’s next two releases – Bad Influence and False Accusations – charted, taking the four-piece’s sound across the airways and abroad. The group was on a roll, but the players slept

on couches. “We were just road rats,” Cray says with a chuckle. “We’d take a break for two weeks to record, then go back out. We didn’t have a house, a home, any of those responsibilities.”

On one of those breaks Cray went into the studio to record Showdown!, an album that has become essential to any 80s electric blues collection.

Since then Cray has created a sound that rises from American roots and arrives today both fresh and familiar.

In just over 40 years Cray and his band have bridged the lines between blues, soul, and R&B. It is extraordinary for musicians to thrive over four decades, and the Robert Cray Band is just that, extraordinary. Texas blues and R&B artist Jimmie Vaughan sums up Robert Cray’s singularity and success simply when he says, “He’s got one foot in the future and one foot in the old stuff.”

Opening for Cray is Bonnie Bishop, who is not just a musician, but also a storyteller who has been compared to the likes of Bonnie Raitt.

Improv and hypnotist masters will work their magic with the audience at The Flying Monkey on Sunday, October 13 at 7:30 pm. Fans of the series Whose Line Is It Anyway? know Colin Mochrie as one of the best improv comedians in the business. Mochrie got his start in improv at Second City, an improv and sketch comedy club in Toronto.

“My first exposure to improv was a show I saw called theater sports. Then I took an improv workshop and found it was really easy for me. I did Second City and really enjoyed it,” said Mochrie. “I keep coming back to improv because I enjoy it. It’s the thing I feel most comfortable doing. I’m with people I trust, so I know it’s going to work out. And there’s a lazy factor. I don’t have to memorize things. I get to show up, make up stuff and leave,” Mochrie said.

Mochrie’s career and fame in the improv world wasn’t anything he expected. “I never thought that I could make a career out of doing improv. No one did that. But then Whose Line Is It Anyway? came along. It gave us that opportunity.”

The television show Whose Line Is It Anyway? started in the UK and was originally hosted by Clive Anderson.

Mochrie was in the original UK cast.

In 1998 it was developed for American television with host Drew Carey and players including Mochrie, Ryan Stiles, Wayne Brady and a guest. The show was a huge overnight success.

Joining Mochrie on his new show is Mike McShane, a fellow Whose Line Is It Anyway co-star, and Asad Meccii, a self-described master hypnotist who approached Mochrie’s manager a few years ago with the idea to mix hypnotism and improv. His jaw dropping comedy hypnosis performances have captivated audiences worldwide and he has performed in front of over 1.5 million people live and millions more through mass media.

Twenty random volunteers from the audience will be hypnotized, (the process of which is a show in its own right), their inhibitions evaporated and their minds no longer their own, with the four or five best left on stage. Then the world-premiere improv comedian enters the scene!

Mochrie will initiate and manipulate those under hypnosis and turn the show into an improv extravaganza full of music, horse races and lots of laughter.

In the hands of two masters, and crafted from the volunteers’ uninhibited subconscious, it’s an entirely original and completely unforgettable show.

‘Cue The Grill Columbus Day Grilling

By Chef Kelly Ross It’s time for some fun and delicious recipes as we gear up for Columbus Day weekend, which is right around the corner. For some of my friends, this is the grand finale for the grill until next spring. I always lightheartedly tell them that grilling is never out of season if you truly care about the great flavors.

I jokingly call them “quitters” and they usually just smile and shake their heads at me as they have witnessed me grilling in a down jacket in the middle of winter. As much as they laugh at me, the laughter turns to joy as they start eating my winter cooking when it comes off the grill.

Enough on the topic of fair weather grillers! Let’s talk some great recipes to consider for Columbus Day weekend.

I have a fun array of recipes to share today, from an incredible, simple and outstanding burger, to some upscale dinner options for all tastes. We will be talking beef, pork, swordfish, scallops, and shrimp, all off the grill, and then we will finish up with an awesome dessert done in the oven that “screams” this time of year. It’s all Scrumptious

with a capitol S! Let’s start with a fun lunch recipe which I have penned a California Burger. This mouthwatering doozy has some great toppings, as well as some tasty ingredients within the burger patty itself and on the roll. Being a restaurant chef, I always make a big burger, which is typical in most restaurants as many serve a ½ lb burger. Also, one thing many people forget is to use a great quality roll to serve the burger on. It can make all the difference in the world.

This recipe is for 2 lbs of ground beef, where in my world makes 4 burgers.

Adjust accordingly if feeding kids, although this recipe is geared more to adults than those under age 16.

The California Burger 2 lbs lean ground sirloin 8 thick strips Applewood smoked bacon ¾ cup mayo, plus some at service 3 cloves garlic, minced Sea salt & fresh grind black pepper 4 Kaiser onion rolls, or some other good quality roll 3 tbsp olive oil

4 oz Danish blue cheese, sliced Crumble blue can also be used but doesn’t melt as well 2 ripe avocados, sliced Bib lettuce Thick slices of red onion Cook the bacon in a skillet until crispy, drain on a paper towel. In a large bowl, put the burger in as well as a generous portion of salt and pepper and half the minced garlic. Without overworking the burgers too much, as that will make the patties tough, combine and turn them into 4 burgers. Set aside at room temp. In a small bowl, pop in the mayo, the other half of the garlic and season well with salt and pepper and stir well.

Light the well-greased grill to medium high and preheat well. Using 2 tbsp of the olive oil, brush the cut sides of the rolls. With the last tbsp, brush the burgers. Cook the burgers for 4 minutes or so and flip them over. As always, I suggest a good medium rare to medium burger, so when you are within 2-3 minutes of the burgers being done, top with the cheese. Put the rolls on the grill and grill until golden brown.

Once the rolls are off the grill, spread the seasoned mayo over the 8 halves of the rolls. Put lettuce on the bottom of the roll, add the burger, top with bacon, avocado, more lettuce and some onion.

Dig in and have plenty of paper towels ready to wipe your mouth!

Let’s continue with the beef theme, although we are going to add some shrimp to this dish so let’s talk some Surf & Turf. This is easy and delectable all at the same time. This isn’t rocket science, but your crowd will be wowed. The common theme is

both halves of this dinner are drizzled with garlic butter, which goes so well on both. As for the steak part of the equation, I strongly suggest using a rib eye, NY sirloin, T-bone or Porterhouse, or any high-end cut of beef. As for the shrimp, I suggest using 16/20’s in size or bigger. This S&T is for 4 people and literally shouldn’t take you more than 15-20 minutes. This is such a win/win love affair.

Grilled Garlic Butter Surf & Turf ¾ cup butter, softened, room temp 8 cloves garlic, minced, about 2 tbsp 2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley Juice from ½ lemon 2 tbsp olive oil 4 steaks of choice Sea salt & fresh grind black pepper 1 lb shrimp, 16/20 in size, peeled and deveined. I prefer the tails off Pull the steaks to room temp ½ hour prior to grilling. In a small bowl, combine the butter, garlic, parsley, lemon juice, as well as some salt and pepper. Brush the steaks with the olive oil and season the steaks generously with salt and pepper. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side on a welloiled grill on a preheated medium high heat, or until done to your liking. Put the steaks on a platter and spread half of the garlic butter all over both sides of the steaks and let rest for 5 minutes.

In the meantime, turn the grill down to medium. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper and grill for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink in color and • ‘Cue the Grill Continued on page 21

October 7, 2019 | THE LAKER | Page 21 • ‘Cue the Grill Continued from page 20 white and opaque in the middle. Do not overcook them. While cooking, melt the remaining garlic butter and put in a small-medium bowl. Once the shrimp is cooked, add them to the bowl, toss them in the butter and let sit for a minute. Pop a steak on each plate, and with tongs place the shrimp on as well, pour excess butter into a small bowl and add a spoon and put that on the table for those who want more. Add your side dishes of choice and dig in.

Let’s now try a great grilled scallop recipe. They are paired up with a special sauce, relish or chutney. This one is done with a sweet yellow pepper relish that has a wonderful flavor that combines extremely well with the scrumptious and succulent flavor of scallops. This is a meal quite often served over rice, couscous or a nice lo mien. Regardless what you serve these with, you will be digging on them big time. This will also serve 4, and it could easily work as an appetizer if you so wish.

Grilled Scallops with Blistered Yellow Pepper Relish 3 yellow bell peppers ½ cup blanched whole almonds, toasted and finely chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced ½ tsp smoked paprika 1 ½ tbsp white wine vinegar 1/3 cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling later Sea salt & fresh grind black pepper 1 ½ lbs dry sea scallops, 10-20 in size, about 24 in total count 4 scallions, chopped thin 1/3 cup packed fresh cilantro On a medium heated grill, char the yellow peppers until the peppers are blackened and blistered, turning with a set of tongs. Once done, put them into a stainless bowl and cover with a plate to completely cool. When cooled, peel off the blackened skin of the peppers with either a paring knife, a paper towel, or by hand under running water.

Remove the stems, ribs and seeds, then finely dice the peppers and transfer to another bowl. While the peppers are roasting, lightly oil the almonds and bake at 350 degrees for 7-10 minutes until they turn golden brown. Let them cool, then chop. Add the almonds, garlic, paprika, vinegar and oil. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate in an

airtight container. It will stay fresh for 4-5 days. As for the scallops, put them on a large plate, drizzle with olive oil and turn them to coat well. Season them all with salt and pepper. Again on a medium heated grill, well-oiled as you don’t want the scallops to stick, plop them down one at a time, flat side down. Cook them for 2-3 minutes on each side, maybe more depending on your grill and the size of the scallops, until they are charred somewhat on each side. If you are serving over something, do so, but regardless, drizzle them with the yellow pepper relish, which should be at room temp, and top with the scallions and cilantro.

This is a great marriage of scallops and relish.

Pork tenderloin is next on the Columbus Day hit list. Pork tenderloin is such a delicious cut of meat, and although the diameter of them isn’t much bigger than a golf ball, I love to stuff them and this is my favorite.

The prep time will likely take you a half hour or so, and the grilling time is about the same. This will easily feed 4-6, again, also depending on the side dishes accompanying it, but there isn’t much better than a stuffed piece of pork, whether a large loin, a tenderloin, or even an oversized pork chop. I’m actually surprised I don’t do these more often, and once you hear what the stuffing is, you will be all over them.

Stuffed Pork Tenderloin with Caramelized Onions and Bacon 2 pork tenderloins, about 1 ½ lbs per piece, 2 ½ - 3 lbs total 5 thick slices bacon, cooked and diced 8 oz cream cheese, room temp 6 oz fresh shaved Parmesan cheese 1 cup fresh baby spinach Sea salt & fresh grind black pepper Balsamic Caramelized Onions 2 large red onions, cut into rings ¼ cup butter ¼ cup balsamic vinegar 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning In a skillet, cook the bacon, and put on a paper towel to drain and cool.

Leave the bacon grease in the pan.

Add the butter and onions to the pan.

Cook for 20-30 minutes over a medium heat, stirring occasionally. Ideally, the onions should be considerably darker in color. Reduce the heat to low, stir • ‘Cue the Grill Continued on page 22

Put the tenderloins on a cutting board and slice off any silver skin remaining on the pork. Next, you need to butterfly them. Ultimately, you want a thin square sheet of pork. At the bottom of the loin, keeping the knife parallel with the pork, start slicing gently and roll the pork to continue the process. The first time around it may seem weird, but it’ll be old hat in no time. Spread the cream cheese over the pork. Sprinkle with the freshly shaved Parmesan, caramelized onions, the spinach and the bacon. Start rolling the tenderloins fairly tightly. It’s to be expected that some of the stuffing will fall out. With butcher’s twine, tie the tenderloins together about 1 to 1 ½ inches apart. Season the rolled tenderloins with the Cajun seasoning.

Crank the heat on one side of the grill and put the pork on the other side,

which should be on a low heat. Cover the grill, roll them every 5-7 minutes, and cook until the internal temp reaches 145 degrees or so. Let the tenderloin sit for 5 minutes, cut off the twine and slice the tenderloin every inch or so and dig in.

A great grilled swordfish dish is next on our Columbus Day agenda, and this has a distinct flavor of Italy involved, which generally isn’t the norm when eating swordfish. Trust me, though, you will not be disappointed. I love the meaty texture of a good swordfish steak, and teaming that up with a few Italian classic herbs makes an outstanding sauce. This recipe is for four swordfish steaks and is another wonderfully simple recipe.

and chopped 1 tbsp dried oregano, preferably Sicilian in its blend 1 large pepperoncino, chopped coarsely 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, chopped ½ cup olive oil 1 tbsp fresh chopped mint Sea salt & fresh grind black pepper 4 swordfish steaks, 8 oz per piece, about an inch thick Combine the first six ingredients in a small to medium bowl. Let sit for 1 to 2 hours. Just before serving time, add the chopped thyme and mint and stir again to combine. Slowly, add the olive oil while stirring. Season with salt and pepper. Turn the grill onto a mediummedium high heat and oil well. Place the steaks on the grill for about 3 minutes, turn them in a 45-degree fashion for another 3 minutes to give you nice diamond-shaped grill marks.

Turn them over and cook for a couple more minutes for a nice medium rare to medium swordfish steak. Plate the steaks, drizzle the Sicilian sauce and serve with lemon wedges and dig in.

It’s now time for dessert, and this baby screams autumn and is so delicious and quick. I have done these at brunch buffets as well and they are always a hit. We are talking Apple Enchiladas and they can be done with fresh or canned apples. Regardless, you can’t lose with these. I originally found this recipe years ago using canned apple filling, which is what I will share today, but I have also made it with fresh apples (if you go that route, cut them small as this recipe cooks quick and if too big, the apples won’t be cooked). I do love crispy apples, but in this recipe,

it might not be the best approach. I generally create this in a long hotel pan, making a dozen of these. You can always do this dessert in 2 smaller pans as well. Good luck keeping everyone to just having one enchilada. You can easily substitute another canned fruit or berry filling if preferred. There is no bad fruit enchilada.

Apple Enchiladas 2 cans apple fruit filling, 21 oz per can 12 flour tortillas, 8 inch in diameter 2 tsp ground cinnamon 2/3 cup butter 1 cup sugar 1 cup brown sugar 1 cup water Lay out the tortillas and evenly spread the apple filling amongst the 12 tortillas. Sprinkle all with cinnamon.

Roll them up and place seam side down on a well-greased pan. Bring the butter, sugars and water to a boil.

Reduce the heat to a simmer, stirring constantly for about 5 minutes. Pour over the enchiladas and let sit at room temp for ½ hour. Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 20-30 minutes. I suggest, once they have been plated, that you serve ala mode style with some French vanilla ice cream.

I’ll see you next week to share some recipes regarding one of my favorite themes, especially considering the time of year, and that is recipes focusing on soup season. Until then, Ciao, and always remember to spoil your taste buds!

Rug Hooking and Watercolor Exhibit at the Belknap Mill In an exhibit now on view at the Belknap Mill’s Riverside Gallery in Laconia, Kathi Caldwell-Hopper is showing hooked rugs she has designed and completed over the past two years. Mixed in among the rugs are watercolors and pastels she has created as well.

When it comes to choosing a creative outlet to explore, Kathi says she draws or paints…or works on a hooked rug as the mood strikes. “For me, it’s less about what I probably ‘should’ be doing, and more about doing something that makes me happy. As long as I have some watercolors or pencils and paper, or wool for rug hooking, I am happy!

“I learned rug hooking from a local fiber artist, Carol Dale,” Kathi says.

“She saw that I would probably never go the route of being a traditional rug hooker, working from a pattern designed by someone else. I love color and wool, and I love to draw. I don’t think I have ever hooked a rug from someone else’s pattern because I just want to do my own thing. Rug hooking

is freeing and fun and I can get lost in it.”

Kathi explains that hooked rugs were a new direction for her over 15 years ago. Working and raising a family, she discovered that rug hooking required little set up or space, and she could “pull a few loops” here and there throughout a busy day.

In recent years, the desire to draw and paint have resurfaced as well, and Kathi takes her watercolors and supplies with her as she travels to freelance writing assignment in her work at The Laker newspaper. She stops when she sees

Audubon Wildlife Tracking Program On Thursday, October 17 at 7 pm, the Lakes Region Chapter of the New Hampshire Audubon Society will present a program on The Motus Wildlife Tracking System at the Loon Center in Moultonborough.

The system is an array of radio telemetry stations that track the movements of birds and other small flying animals fitted with small radio transmitters (nanotags). This program will provide an overview of the system, what we are learning from it, efforts underway to expand the network in the Northeast, and how interested citizens can get involved. The presenter will be Dr. Carol Foss, Senior Advisor for Science and Policy at NH Audubon.

The system’s stations track the movements of the nanotags that all transmit on the same frequency, but with different pulse patterns. Data is recorded from tags that pass within an approximately nine-mile radius of each antenna. While satellite transmitters can document the travels of larger

birds such as raptors and seabirds, those transmitters are too heavy for small songbirds. The lightweight nanotags can be attached to very small birds and large insects, revolutionizing the tracking potential. A local team, organized by NH Audubon, is now working to expand the Motus network throughout the New England region.

Carol Foss has served New Hampshire Audubon in a variety of capacities for more than 40 years, and currently splits her time between environmental policy and conservation science. Her current projects include long-term research on Rusty Blackbirds in northern New Hampshire, and expanding the Motus Network.

The Loon Center is located on Lee’s Mill Road; follow signs on Blake Road from Route 25 near the Moultonborough Central School, or from Rte. 109 turn on to Lee Road and left on Lee’s Mill Road. Refreshments will be served.

a landscape she would like to draw or paint, just for fun. “I seem to have amassed a lot of watercolors, and other paintings and thought it would be fun to show some of them in this exhibit.”

Along with Kathi’s rugs and paintings, the Lake Winnipesaukee Museum has kindly lent from their permanent collection a hooked rug created in the 1940s by a local woman.

It is a huge rug of the M/S Mount Washington, done in a primitive style. “I fell in love with the rug the minute I saw it while I was visiting the museum. Although I did not create the

rug, I thought the Mill exhibit would be a chance to show it to the public, because it is an amazing example of true old-style rug hooking. And it is of an iconic symbol of the Lakes Region: The Mount. I hope everyone will stop by to see it.”

Hooked on Art will be on view at the Belknap Mill through October 30. The Belknap Mill is located at 25 Beacon St. East in Laconia, NH and is open from 9 am to 5 pm Monday through Friday, and Saturdays from 9 am to 4 pm. Call 603-524-8813 or visit www. belknapmill.org.

In Search of Covered Bridges

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper I love a good covered bridge. Luckily, there are many of these wooden structures in New Hampshire. Over the years, while driving to various day tripping locations, I have had the pleasure to see some great old – and now and then new – covered bridges.

These historical gems often get overlooked. Although they are fun to drive through, they are here and then gone, as I head on to my destination.

Thus, I decided it was time to give a little attention to the covered bridges in the area.

One bridge of note is in Plymouth,

NH and it is the Smith Bridge. This wonderful covered bridge is very easy to find; just take Route 3/Tenney Mountain Highway in Plymouth and then turn onto Smith Bridge Road off the highway. A short drive will take you to the Smith Bridge and you can’t miss it due to its length and the fact that you must drive through the bridge in order to get to the parking spots on both the left and right just past the bridge.

The day I stopped to see the bridge was one of September sunshine.

Plymouth State College was back in session and school kids were at their desks, so I had the parking area to

myself. I walked to the Baker River, which flows under the bridge. This is a tranquil area and at the site, you can look up, up, up at the towering bridge which makes for great photos. For those who like architecture, the location near the river area gives a good view of the huge bridge from angles you might not otherwise see.

But walking up close is a must if you

have taken the time to stop. There is a pathway beside the bridge, and this is a handy and safe way to really see the construction, without the danger of walking where traffic flows inside the bridge.

I walked the narrow pathway and • Day Tripping Continued on page 25

October 7, 2019 | THE LAKER | Page 25 • Day Tripping Continued from page 24 got a good look at the bridge. It is in remarkably fine shape, and I wondered if this was the original bridge. I definitely wanted to learn more about the history of the Smith Bridge!

Luckily, a state historical marker nearby answered my questions. The Smith Bridge was named for local farmer, Jacob Smith. Likely for reasons of allowing farmers and others to pass over the river, it was decided a bridge was the answer to the transportation issue. The first bridge constructed at the site was begun before 1786. (My mind spun for a minute as I thought about the fact that this was not long after the Revolutionary War years. How many local men might have fought and perished in the war and how would it have impacted this area and the task of building a covered bridge?) A lottery system authorized at the time allowed the bridge to be completed.

Later, in 1850, Harmon Marcy, a contractor from Littleton, NH built a new bridge at the site for about $2,700, which was quite a large sum at the time.

Marcy used a pre-stressed wooden truss patented by Colonel Stephen Harriman Long of Hopkinton, NH. Sadly, fire took the 143-year-old bridge in 1993.

The State of NH decided at that time to construct a two-lane bridge. (Many early covered bridges were one-lane structures with traffic taking turns traveling over the bridge, not a bad practice in the age of horse and buggy or early slow-moving cars.)

According to information at wwwngh.gov, “The Smith Bridge was repaired in 1940, 1949, and 1958. It was rehabilitated in 1971 at a cost of $7,876. A telltale (height barrier) was erected to protect the bridge. Signs on the bridge included, One Lane Bridge, One Car at a Time on Bridge, and Speed Limit 15 MPH.” The new Smith Bridge was built with glued-laminated timber and arches.

The price tag for the bridge was $3.3

million, a vast difference from the cost of the 1800’s bridge. Dedicated in 2001, the new bridge was – and is – beautiful to look at and solid in construction. It was designed to bear the same loads as interstate highway bridges.

Although I was tempted to drive up I-93 a short distance to the Blair Bridge in Campton, I had another appointment that day and could not spare the time. (I plan to do a part-two of this day tripping story/adventure in an upcoming issue of The Laker and the Blair Bridge is definitely on my list to visit.)

Another covered bridge that is unique and wonderful is the Tannery Hill Bridge in Gilford, NH. This bridge is vastly different in size and purpose from the Smith Bridge, but its story and beauty are well worth sharing. (Visitors should be aware that they cannot drive over the Tannery bridge because it was built for foot traffic only.)

Because I live in the area, I drive near this little bridge quite often, but oddly, I just never took the time to stop and really check it out. I wanted to include it in this story, so I made the time to visit on another sunny September afternoon.

To reach the Tannery Bridge, drive on Rt. 11-A to the Gilford Town Hall area. You will see the bridge off to the right of the building. There is ample parking and then it is a quick walk to the bridge area.

This is a great place to visit on a lunch break, because there are a few handy picnic tables near the entrance of the bridge. It is a really pretty spot and gorgeous in foliage season as well as summertime.

I had the area pretty much to myself and took my time exploring the bridge and the surrounding waterway. I had heard a tannery mill once operated on the brook; hence, the name Tannery Hill Bridge. Gazing down at Gunstock Brook, I saw a lot of boulders and smaller rocks in and around the water, but no sign of an old mill. However, there might have been some sort of foundation or trace of a former mill, but

without the knowledge of its possible location, I knew I was unlikely to spot anything.

No matter, because the covered bridge is a gem and that is why I was at the site. As mentioned above, the Tannery structure is actually a footbridge because no vehicles are allowed. Built in 1995, the bridge replaced the original covered bridge, which once spanned the river linking one side of the town to the village area.

This is an extremely beautiful footbridge, made of mellowed wood with diamond-shaped window-type openings to allow views of the brook far below as one walks through the bridge.

Because of its beauty, the bridge is photographed often, in all four seasons.

Indeed, one need only search Tannery Hill Bridge online and a plethora of beautiful photos of the bridge taken from all angles and in a variety of weather, can be found. The bridge is an often-chosen site for wedding photos

and senior class pictures, to name but a few.

Historically, the footbridge was constructed by the Gilford Rotary Club and presented to the community of Gilford. The bridge builder was Tim Andrews. In August of 1995, Kathy and Ron Salanitro brought their oxen, Pet and Rusty, to the site. The oxen, with the aid of a capstan, slowly pulled the Tannery Hill Bridge into place.

The bridge successfully replaced the original covered bridge that was removed over 50 years ago.

There are many covered bridges, each with a historical story to tell, all over NH. I plan to visit more of these old – and sometimes newer– structures.

One that certainly fascinates me is the Sulphite Upside Down Covered Bridge in Franklin, NH, as well as the aforementioned Blair Bridge in Campton. Watch for a day tripping story on these structures and others in an upcoming issue.

Squam Lakes Association Seeks Volunteers for Fall Clean Up On Saturday, October 19, the Squam Lakes Association (SLA) will host their annual Fall Work Day at the SLA headquarters from 9:30 am to 3 pm.

The SLA had another successful summer season managing trails, battling invasive plants, hosting various community educational programs, and, of course, protecting the Squam Lakes and surrounding watershed through many important conservation efforts.

Behind these efforts was the help of many community volunteers who put in a lot of time and energy protecting the watershed. These volunteers were often led by members of the Lakes Region Conservation Corps (LRCC) program who trained and educated the community in watershed stewardship.

Now that the busy season is coming to a close, the SLA is looking for help to finish up some last minute to-do’s during the fall work day. “This will be a fun-filled day working together alongside SLA staff and other folks in the community who all really care about the protection of Squam,”

year, the SLA is also looking for an enthusiastic team of bittersweet removers to help clean up SLA’s campus.

There will also be light indoor work to do such as helping with the annual appeal mailing while enjoying refreshments and conversation. Bring a friend, or bring the whole family and don’t forget your work gloves! All volunteers must register online to attend this event by Thursday, October 17. Please visit www.squamlakes.org for more

information.

said SLA Community Engagement Coordinator, Melissa Leszek.

The day will commence at 9:30 am with coffee, hot apple cider and donuts, and lunch will be served mid-day for

all volunteers.

There are a variety of activities to sign up for such as dock removal, trail maintenance, yard work, campsite cleanup, or swim-line removal. This

The Squam Lakes Association is a non-profit organization established in 1904 and for over 100 years has been working to protect and conserve the natural beauty, peaceful character, and resources of the Squam Watershed.

In collaboration with local and state partners, the SLA promotes the protection, careful use and shared enjoyment of the lakes, mountains, forests, open spaces and wildlife of the Squam Lakes Region.

Harvest Fun on the NH Heritage Museum Trail In October, the NH Heritage Museum Trail will feature several harvest themed events for all ages. Among the featured museums on the trail are two in the Lakes Region area.

Canterbury Shaker Village in Canterbury will offer Spirit Encounters Tours in time for the Halloween season on Oct. 18, 19, 25 and 27 at 6:30 and 7 pm. The evening tours will take visitors into some of the buildings and rooms at the 200-year old Shaker Village that help tell the stories of the Shakers’ involvement with the spirit world and the growth of spiritualism as part of the Shaker religion.

“The tour leaders will share the Shakers’ own accounts of otherworldly encounters, and they make the tours a lot of fun,” said Interim Executive Director Maggie Stier. To purchase tickets, visit shakers.org.

At the Remick Country Doctor Museum and Farm in Tamworth, an Herbal Root Fest on October 19 from

10 am to 3 pm offers something fun and different. At the event, Museum Educator and Herbalist Carol Felice will teach visitors how to recognize and harvest medicinal and wild edible plant roots.

“You will also create a delicious lunch and a medicinal remedy from what you collect,” said Museum Executive Director Cara Sutherland.

“Participants will walk away wellnourished and with a supply of fresh assorted roots and a do-it-yourself handbook.” To purchase tickets, visit remickmuseum.org.

Comprised of 17 museums, the NH Heritage Museum Trail is divided into the Seacoast, Merrimack Valley and Lakes Regions with stops in Canterbury, Concord, Dover, Exeter, Laconia, Manchester, Moultonborough, Plymouth, Portsmouth, Tamworth, and Wolfeboro.

the album in its entirety. The tour showcases more than two hours of classic KANSAS music including hit songs, deep cuts, and fan favorites. The more than two-hour musical event has songs for every type of KANSAS fan.

In 1977, KANSAS followed up the success of Leftoverture by releasing the album Point of Know Return.

Containing the smash hit and millionselling single “Dust in the Wind,” along with fan favorites such as “Portrait (He Knew),” “Closet Chronicles,” and “Paradox,” Point of Know Return became the band’s greatest selling studio album. The album peaked at #4 on Billboard’s Album charts, reached sextuple-platinum status with more than six million copies sold, and had three Billboard Hot 100 singles.

“The sentiments for this anniversary tour for Point of Know Return are kind of similar to the release of the album itself,” comments KANSAS drummer and original member, Phil Ehart. “Just like when we first released the album, as a band we knew we had to deliver a tour just as good, or better, then what we did for Leftoverture. So, that’s what we’ve tried to do. Fan response has been overwhelmingly positive and we are excited to continue it and take this show to more people.”

KANSAS is currently comprised of original drummer Phil Ehart, bassist/vocalist Billy Greer, vocalist/ keyboardist Ronnie Platt, violinist/ guitarist David Ragsdale, keyboardist Tom Brisling, guitarist Zak Rizvi, and original guitarist Richard Williams.

Concert tickets are currently on sale and may be ordered by calling the Capitol Center for the Arts at 603-2251111 or visit www.ccanh.com. Tickets may also be obtained at the box office, which is open Monday to Friday from noon to 6 pm.

The Capital Center is conveniently located off Rt. 93 in downtown Concord, NH and is close to several quality restaurants, shopping boutiques, and other area attractions.

San Fermin will appear at the Capitol Center’s sister performance space, the Bank of New Hampshire Stage in Concord, NH on Wednesday, October 16 at 8 pm, in support of the new single “The Hunger” (Sony Music Masterworks/Better Company) and to launch San Fermin’s North American tour.

The band has earned worldwide praise for its ingenious pairing of popminded melodies with lushly avantgarde arrangements. Opening for San Fermin will be Lisel. “‘The Hunger’ is the result of a latenight discussion with a female friend about the difficulties of dating in the city,” says San Fermin composer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, Ellis Ludwig-Leone. “There’s a line, why’d I wear these… shoes, that’s basically lifted right from that conversation. I think there’s something heroic in the process of getting your hopes up time and again, even in the face of constant disappointment.

“The singer is Samia, who came into the studio and nailed it right away, with this mixture of energy and vulnerability that’s perfect for the song. In the verse, she describes an endless string of bad dates—even the melody is a relentless monotone that leaves her out of breath.

But then when the chorus hits, there’s a modulation in the harmony that reflects the mental gymnastics required to do it all over again. It’s both a release and an attempt to psych herself up for another round. Trying to project confidence while dealing with disappointment and insecurity is an experience I think a lot of people can relate to.”

Tickets may be ordered by calling 603-225-1111 or online at banknhstage. com. Tickets may also be obtained at the box office, which is open Monday to Friday from noon to 6 pm.

The Bank of New Hampshire Stage (banknhstage.com) is located at 16 South Main Street in downtown Concord, NH and is owned and operated by the Capitol Center for the Arts (CCA), a 501(c)(3) organization.

It expands the CCA’s music offerings in a club setting, while also creating a home for theatre, comedy, and Met Opera, National Theatre, and Bolshoi Ballet HD broadcasts.
