Vintage Race Boat Regatta brings excitement to Wolfeboro Spectators, drivers and their crews agree: The Wolfeboro Vintage Race Boat Regatta is one of the premiere vintage race boat regattas in the country. This is the 19th anniversary of the prestigious event that draws drivers and their crews from throughout the East Coast and beyond.

The fun-filled, two-day event takes place on beautiful, historic Wolfeboro Bay in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire. The event is presented by the New Hampshire Boat Museum and sanctioned by the Vintage and Historic Division of the American Power Boat Association (APBA), and it is a favorite for visitors to watch and for drivers to show off their spectacular vintage race boats dating from the 1920s to the 1980s.

The amazing vintage boats will be competing in the Regatta, the way they were meant to be seen, and will be available to the public on Friday and Saturday, September 13 and 14. The event will be held at the Public Town Docks in Wolfeboro.

The festivities kick off on Friday, September 13 at 8:30 am with opening ceremonies featuring Triple Cockpit Runabouts, followed by Vintage Race Boat Heats from 9 am to 5 pm. Closing ceremonies are at 5 pm, with a cocktail party at the NH Boat Museum at 399 Center Street in Wolfeboro.

Opening ceremonies are at 8:30 am on Saturday, September 14, and Vintage Race Boat Heats run from

9 am to 5 pm on the racecourse with heats every 20 minutes. The closing ceremony for the weekend will be at 5 pm, followed by the Race Boat Regatta Awards Banquet at the Barn at the Inn on Main in Wolfeboro at 6 pm.

In total, nearly 50 vintage boats will participate in the Regatta, including small outboards, Grand Prix hydroplanes, Jersey Skiffs and Gold Cup racing boats, in group heats on a one-mile oval-shaped course.

“This is an incredible event that only takes place once every two years, so we expect big crowds to see the best vintage race boat exhibition

anywhere,” said NHBM Executive Director Martha Cummings. Regatta participants, she added, come from as far away as South Florida, the upper Midwest and Canada.

“Visitors also have a chance to ride on some of the boats in between heats,” said Cummings. “We will offer pit passes, too, and spectators can also attend several evening events and meet the drivers. It’s a fun event that involves all of Wolfeboro.”

Just how did this action-packed event begin on Lake Winnipesaukee?

According to information by Donnie McLean at www.nhbm.org, it started

in 1999 when a group of antique and vintage boat enthusiasts/friends was discussing race boat regattas. As they talked, they came to the conclusion that such an event would be of benefit to the area and that the New Hampshire Boat Museum and its volunteers could host and organize the race weekend.

Further, the Regatta would be under the auspices of the American Power Boat Association’s Vintage and Historic Division.

A committee was formed and they went to work. The first Wolfeboro Vintage Race Boat Regatta was held in mid-September of 2000. It was decided to hold the event every other year and it has become known as a premier event because of its great location and careful organization.

While there are donations benefiting the museum for rides with the drivers and pit passes, there is no charge to view these great vintage race boats run at speed on the course.

“This is a great chance to see some beautiful boats and learn more about the museum,” too,” said Cummings.

“This is an accessible event that can be enjoyed by all ages.”

The NHBM was founded in 1992 by vintage boating enthusiasts committed to inspiring people of all ages with an understanding of, and appreciation for, the boating heritage of New Hampshire’s fresh waterways.

The Rebirth of Ambrose Cove Marina Story by Rosalie Triolo Photo by Kevin Dubia On the north side of Lake Winnipesaukee, the largest lake in New Hampshire, a quiet cove is tucked away in Moultonborough Bay. It is here that Ambrose Cove is located, and it has been the site of a few marine businesses.

In the late 1950s and 60s, Howard Arey opened Arey’s Marine Shopping Center on the shores of Ambrose Cove.

Boaters coming in to purchase gas, or customers buying groceries at the store had an opportunity to browse and buy a postcard from the Marine store which read, “Located in the Castle Shores section of beautiful Moultonboro Bay, L. Winnipesaukee. A small modern rustic trading center dispensing of marine products and gasoline, groceries and sundries. About halfway between Moultonboro and Melvin Village just off Rt. 109. Howard Arey, Prop.”

After the shop’s heyday, Howard Arey sold Arey’s Marine to Andy and Pat Anderson. The Anderson’s changed the name from Arey’s Marine to Arey’s Marina. Since the Anderson’s loved sailboats, this was a natural blending of owner and boat. In addition to selling gas, operating the convenience store and making necessary repairs to the docks, the Anderson’s expanded Arey’s Marina into a retail dealership, at first selling sailboats and afterward branching out into Hobie Cat catamarans. Broadening the diversity of their dealership, the Anderson’s looked to marketing an inventory of singlehull boats. When in the late 1980s they decided it was time to retire, the Anderson’s sold Arey’s Marina to the St. Martins, who continued to operate the marina as a sailboat dealership.

Owning Arey’s Marina for a few years, the St. Martins were made an offer to sell. While on vacation in the

Lakes Region, Oscar Cherkarian was attracted to the area and especially, the marina. Consulting his business partner, they made the St. Martins an offer and became the new owners of Arey’s Marina, changing the name to Ambrose Cove Marina.

In 1996, due to unforeseen circumstances, Ambrose Cove Marina was once again sold. The new owners, Robert and Melanie Schofield, operated the thriving marina business for the next 21 years. As with many business owners, the time eventually came for the Scofield’s to retire. Loyal to their customers, the Scofield’s wanted to ensure their customers would be offered the same services provided in the past and to which they had become accustomed. And so, the Schofield’s began to search for a new owner.

In the Fall of 2017, Matt Young, Owner/President of Melvin Village Marina in Tuftonboro, learned Ambrose Cove Marina was for sale.

Matt thought of the opportunities this

✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭ Therlae’sceno p like it!

purchase could afford but also took into consideration the staffing and management of another facility. Having known Robert and Melanie Schofield for many years, Matt decided to take the leap and a non-traditional direct route.

He approached the Schofield’s with an offer. Matt’s years of experience in the marina business and his reputation for providing first-rate customer service played an important part in the Schofield’s decision. They were confident Matt would continue to take care of their customers in the manner to which they were accustomed. In their estimation, Matt could be trusted with Ambrose Cove Marina, and they knew he would take the marina forward and to the next level.

As Matt said, “This was an easy transaction. A deal was struck. Property inspections completed, lawyers and bankers consulted, and in December of 2017, Ambrose Cove Marina property changed ownership.” A quick and easy process for both the Schofield’s and for

Matthew and his wife Virginia (Ginny) Young.

Hence “The Rebirth of Ambrose Cove Marina.” A classy sign with gold lettering against a black background stands surrounded by a rock garden. It marks the entrance to Black’s Landing Road. The road stretches down to Moultonborough Bay and Ambrose Cove Marina. Matt decided to keep the marina as a boat storage facility with a valet service program. He reasoned that selling boats in this new location would present a challenge and wanted to keep it separate from Melvin Village Marina, of which Matt is owner/ president.

Refurbish, renew, rebirth were the orders of business with water and electricity brought to newly repaired docks, and gas pumps were repainted.

When you pull up to the gas dock, a refurbished large old red vintage CocaCola cooler with white lettering used for storage is a reminder of yesteryear.

And probably the best part of stopping for gas at the Marina is the little building to the right of the storage building selling Sandwich Creamery Ice Cream.

Old pilings replaced and flower boxes painted. The boat storage building constructed in the 1980’s enlarged to accommodate an increasing demand for Valet Service and Winter Storage.

The older building was renovated, painted, decorated with new furniture and office equipment to give a fresh new look. This is where the main office is now located.

Office manager, Ginny Young, manages the daily routines of the office, paperwork and schedules.

Inside the office is a sign advertising jet skis, which have a designated floating dock, and SUP (stand up paddleboard) • Ambrose Cove Continued on page 5

Pat Edsall’s “Floating Garden” Featured at the LRAA Gallery What is a “Floating Garden” and why was it created? The answer to these question can be best seen and understood at the display for the month of September at the Lakes Region Art Association Gallery (LRAA). It’s the creation of award-winning artist, art instructor and LRAA member, who also is the Featured Artist for the month of September at the gallery.

The “Floating Garden” is a series of

hand-painted watercolor 3D images of flowers, strung out in a horizontal plane creating a visual exciting collage.

The purpose of the painting is to inspire donations to the Alzheimer’s Association and, for those who contribute, Pat will “cut-down” one of her flowers and give it to the patron in appreciation of their support.

For those unable to attend Pat’s exhibit, she is encouraging everyone

to make a donation to help find a cure for Alzheimer’s disease at http://act. alz.org/goto/dancersmakeadifference.

Concurrent with Edsall’s “Floating Garden” are a number of her watercolors and photos. The title of the exhibit is “Out of the Blue”. It will show Edsall’s incredible and creative use of the color blue.

The free exhibit continues until September 27. Gallery hours are

Thursday to Sunday from 10 am to 5 pm. On Friday, September 27 from 5 to 8 pm, Edsall will host a wine and cheese reception where all attending who have made a donation to the Alzheimer’s Association will receive their flower from the “Floating Garden”.

The Lakes Region Association Gallery is located at the Tanger Mall Outlet, Suite 132, 120 Laconia Rd., Tilton, New Hampshire.

pleasers today.

See for yourself with a screening of ‘College’ (1927), one of Keaton’s landmark feature films, on Wednesday, September 11 at 6:30 pm at the Flying Monkey Moviehouse and Performance Center at 39 South Main St., Plymouth, NH. The program will feature live music for the movie by silent film accompanist Jeff Rapsis.

‘College’ follows the story of a hopeless university bookworm (Keaton) forced to become a star athlete to win the attentions of his dream girl. Can Buster complete the transformation in time to woo her from his rival? And along the way, can he also rescue the campus from sportsrelated shame?

In addition to being a great Keaton comedy, ‘College’ offers vintage glimpses into what higher education was like nearly a century ago.

Keaton, along with Charlie Chaplin and Harold Lloyd, stands today as one of the silent screen’s three great clowns. Some critics regard Keaton as the best of them all; Roger Ebert wrote in 2002 that “in an extraordinary period from 1920 to 1929, (Keaton) worked without interruption on a series of films that make him, arguably, the greatest actor-director in the history of the movies.”

As a performer, Keaton was uniquely suited to the demands of silent comedy. Born in 1895, he made his stage debut as a toddler, joining his family’s knockabout vaudeville act .A remarkable pantomime artist, Keaton naturally used his whole body to communicate emotions from sadness to surprise. And in an era with no post-production special effects, Keaton’s acrobatic talents enabled him to perform all his own stunts, including some spectacular examples in ‘College.’

In reviving Keaton’s ‘College,’ the Flying Monkey aims to show silent film as it was meant to be seen—in restored prints, on a large screen, with

live music, and an audience.

“All those elements are important parts of the silent film experience,” said Rapsis, who will provide musical accompaniment to the film. “Recreate those conditions, and classics of early Hollywood such as ‘College’ leap back to life in ways that audiences still find entertaining.”

Rapsis performs on a digital synthesizer that reproduces the texture of the full orchestra, creating a traditional “movie score” sound. He improvises the complete score in real time during the screening.

“Creating a movie score on the fly is kind of a high-wire act, but it can often make for more excitement than if everything is planned out in advance,” Rapsis said.

Rapsis encourages people unfamiliar with silent film to give ‘College’ a try.

“If you haven’t seen a silent film the way it was intended to be shown, then you’re missing a unique experience,” Rapsis said. “At their best, silent films still do connect with cinema-goers.

They retain a tremendous power to cast a spell, engage an audience, tap into elemental emotions, and provoke strong reactions.”

Upcoming silent film programs at the Flying Monkey include, on Wednesday, October 16 at 6:30 pm, “The Hunchback of Notre Dame’ (1923). Lon Chaney stars in the original screen adaptation of Victor Hugo’s classic novel about a deformed bell ringer in medieval Paris. Thursday, November 14 at 6:30 pm offers ‘The Wind’ (1928) starring Lillian Gish. A frail young woman from the east moves in with her cousin in the west, where she causes tension within the family and is slowly driven mad. Towering, intense performance

by Lillian Gish in one of MGM’s last major silent dramas.

Tickets are available at www. flyingmonkeynh.com or at the door.

The memorial event will include local first responders, police and fire department personnel and EMS. “We look for people who have stories of any involvement in fallout of the attack,” Viscio said.

Museum Executive Director Mike Culver expressed the importance that the museum hosts this ceremony.

“This is a really important event for the museum,” he said. “This was a very dark time in history, and it’s important to honor those who lost their lives 18 years ago. I expect it to be a sad, but healing ceremony.”

Viscio said he expects between 60 to 70 attendees for the ceremony, but hopes for more.

“For the 10th anniversary, we had over 100 people,” he said. “About 10 UAL flight attendants arrived to

horseback riding, a rainbow trout pond, and 28 miles of hiking trails and waterfalls. Guests can also enjoy the current exhibit, Lucknow Revealed: Research, Restoration and Mystery at Castle in the Clouds located in the Carriage House.

Castle in the Clouds was listed to the National Register of Historic Places in 2018.

‘Cue The Grill Outstanding Tacos off the Grill

By Chef Kelly Ross This is my favorite time of the year: the weather is great, and although the kids are in school, it doesn’t mean the grilling season is over. Not by a long shot.

Although not necessarily associated with something cooked on the grill, today’s theme is tacos, and these aren’t the tacos most of us all grew up with.

Don’t get me wrong, I am still a diehard sucker for the old school Tex Mex Taco with the seasoned ground beef, salsa, shredded cheddar, diced onions and tomatoes, with some jalapenos and sour cream. I will never say “No” when they are offered to me, whether in a crunchy corn tortilla or a soft flour version, even if I am full.

However, there are dozens of fun ways to make a taco that back in the day would have had my Mom go “Huh?” I miss my Mom dearly, and although she may have liked a few of these recipes, she would have given me with a “You are out of your mind” look.

Many restaurants have gotten into the new wave of tacos; most seem to have a seafood theme, with either fish or shrimp, but in today’s column, I will share some great reasons to “Think outside the Box” when for some fun and exciting tacos. Usually, the routine is to use soft flour tortillas that are thrown on the grill for a minute or two.

Let’s start with a couple of fish options, and then move on to a few great steak tacos, a lamb taco, and then a vegetarian version or two.

The typical fish taco found in most restaurants are fried, and although I still enjoy them, I would rather eliminate the breading and batter and just have the fish with some great seasonings and grill flavor. As in most tacos, or sushi for that matter, it’s all about the sauce.

This one has a creamy Chipotle sauce, which is outstanding. I generally make this with a flaky white fish, which can be touchy on a grill if not careful, as you can lose the fish through the grates.

I like to use either a grill cage, or if

1 tsp chili powder 1 ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes 1 tsp dried oregano 1 ¼ lb boneless skinless salmon fillet 1 cedar plank big enough for the salmon to sit on top of

preferred, put some foil over the grill and poke a few holes. I suggest using tilapia, haddock or cod. This will make 8 tacos, so depending on how many are eating, adjust accordingly.

Grilled Fish Tacos with a Creamy Chipotle Sauce Chipotle Sauce ½ cup mayo ½ cup plain yogurt ½ tsp dried oregano ½ tsp ground cumin ¼ tsp dried dill 1 small can chipotle peppers in adobo, plus all the sauce Sea salt Tacos 1 tsp granulated garlic 1 tsp paprika ½ tsp cayenne pepper ½ tsp ground cumin ½ tsp dried oregano 2 ½ lbs boneless skinless tilapia fillets, or other white fish of choice Sea salt & fresh grind black pepper Olive oil 8 flour tortillas, 6-8 inches ¼ head green cabbage, thinly shredded 1 medium sweet onion, minced 1 medium tomato, cored and finely chopped 2 limes, cut into wedges Put all the Chipotle Sauce ingredients into a food processor and blend until

smooth. Refrigerate until needed.

Grease a medium heated grill, and depending on your confidence level, you can cook directly on the grill, or in a basket or on foil. Combine the first 5 ingredients on the taco recipe list in a bowl. Pat the fish dry, season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with the spice mix. Pop into the freezer for 1520 minutes to help firm it up. Grill the fish, flipping only once and cook for 5 minutes or so per side until cooked through. Heat the tortillas on the grill, chop the fish, and make a platter with all the tortillas, fish, cabbage, onion, tomato, sauce and lime wedges and let everyone build their own taco of deliciousness.

Now let’s talk salmon. I am a big fan of great smoky flavor, so I actually grill the salmon on a cedar wood plank on the grill, which gives the fish an outstanding flavor you will not soon forget. This is paired with a scrumptious Avocado Mango Salsa, which is out of this world. This is a great marriage of flavors, and your guests will be begging you for the recipe. This is for 8 tacos.

Salmon Tacos with an Avocado Mango Salsa For the Salmon 1 tbsp packed brown sugar 2 tsp Old Bay Seasoning ½ tsp sea salt & ½ tsp fresh grind pepper ¾ tsp ground cumin

Avocado Mango Salsa 2 mangos 2 large avocados 1 red onion 2 limes 1 lemon Sea salt & fresh grind pepper Taco Toppings 2-3 radishes, cut into matchsticks ½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped 1 cup Cojita cheese (Feta is a good substitute) 8 flour tortillas, about 6-8 inches in diameter Soak the cedar plank in water for at least an hour, but I suggest doing so overnight.

Mix the salmon seasonings in a small bowl. Rub ½ the mix over one side of the cedar plank, then place the salmon on the plank, and put the rest of the seasoning over the top of the salmon and press in firmly. On a high heated grill, place the plank on the grill and close the lid for 15-18 minutes. While the fish is grilling, put the salsa together by dicing the avocado and mango, mince the onion, squeeze the lemon and lime juice over the top, season with salt and pepper and lightly toss to thoroughly combine. Once the salmon is done - and it should flake easily grill the tortillas for a minute or two, then stuff with salmon, some salsa, and radish for crunch, plus cilantro for a great southwestern flavor, and finish with the delicious salty cheese and dig in.

Let’s shoot for a steak taco recipe next. I generally use a flank or skirt ‘Cue the Grill Continued on page 13

‘Cue the Grill Continued from page 12 steak as these are a good quality middle of the road cut that is at its best when cut on a bias once cooked, which is ideal for a taco. Those who read my column somewhat regularly also know how much I love fresh grilled pineapple. Believe it or not, these two ingredients, with the help of a few more, make for an incredibly off-thechart original type of taco. I let the steak marinate for 24+ hours to give the ultimate perfection in the beef. This recipe will be the first of many times you make this tasty treat!

Take the seven ingredients in the steak marinade and mix very well. Put into a large Ziploc, add the beef, squeeze out most of the air, seal, and massage the steak into the marinade for a minute or two and pop into the refrigerator.

Marinate for at least four hours, but I strongly suggest 24 hours or so. Prep all the extras about an hour before grilling, but wait to prep the avocado until just before grilling to avoid browning.

Once ready to grill, pull the steak about ½ hour prior to grilling. Grease the grill and turn to a high heat. Grill the steak for about 5 minutes per side to achieve a perfect medium rare. In this recipe, it is important not to overcook.

Just before taking the beef off the grill, pop on the pineapple slices and grill for 2-3 minutes per side to get some char on them. The beef should rest for 6-8 minutes, and once it has, cut on the bias in Âź inch slices. Depending on

Grilled Pineapple and Flank Steak Taco 2 lb flank or skirt steak ½ cup fresh lime juice ½ cup olive Ÿ cup chili powder 10 cloves garlic, finely minced 2 tsp sea salt 2 tsp fresh grind black pepper ½ cup fresh chopped cilantro Extras 1-2 fresh pineapples, skinned, cored, and sliced into Ÿ inch slices

the length of the strips, cut them in half so they will fit in the taco shells. Grill the tortillas for 30-60 seconds per side, dice the pineapple once cooked, and sprinkle the pineapple, onion, jalapeno, avocado and whatever sounds good to you over the steak. These are truly in a league of their own, especially for the meat lover, and with the pineapple and other extras, you have yourself something truly special.

As I said from the start, tacos of today are very different from those of yesterday, and this one definitely fits that mold, maybe more than any. This bad boy’s main ingredient is lamb, which will make some of you stop reading right now since lamb is one of those things that some people just can’t deal with, from the smell all the way to the taste. However, lovers of lamb are into this recipe in a big way. When I have sold these as a special in the restaurant world, it was funny tracking how they sold. Some nights we would only sell one or two, and the next night they would be 86’ed halfway through the evening. No rhyme or reason, just obvious that the lamb lovers weren’t in on the nights it didn’t sell. Like all the other recipes, there are a few great ingredients paired up with the lamb that make this very special. In particular, this one includes apricot preserves as well as a tomato cucumber salsa. The twists and turns in this recipe are a tremendous blend of sweet, savory, crunchy, and the delectable flavor of lamb.

Apricot Smoked Chili Glazed Lamb with a Tomato Cucumber Salsa

Salsa 2 beefsteak tomatoes, diced 2 chili peppers of choice, depending on your heat preference, finely diced 1 English cucumber, diced 1 small red onion, diced Âź cup olive oil Âź cup red wine vinegar Sea salt & fresh grind black pepper 1/3 cup fresh chopped dill 1/3 cup fresh chopped mint Tacos 1 cup apricot preserves Âź cup red wine vinegar 2 tbsp canned chipotle pepper in adobo, pureed Sea salt & fresh grind black pepper 2 lb boneless lamb loin Olive oil 12 + flour or corn tortillas, 8-inch diameter Combine all salsa ingredients, wrap, and refrigerate. Mix the preserves, the second batch of vinegar, the chipotle puree, and salt and pepper in a bowl.

Brush the lamb with the olive oil and pop onto a well-greased, high-heated grill and cover. After 4-5 minutes, roll or flip it and brush glaze over the grilled part of the lamb. Continue this process for about 15-20 minutes depending on how thick the loin is. The shape will dictate the timing. Ultimately, the internal temp. should be 125 for a good medium rare.

Once cooked, take off the grill and continue to baste the meat, but leave some of the marinade for the final tacos. Let the lamb rest for 10 minutes ‘Cue the Grill Continued on page 20

Page 20 | THE LAKER September 9, 2019 ‘Cue the Grill Continued from page 14 before slicing. Grill the tortillas, brush the tortillas with marinade, add some lamb, hit it generously with the salsa and start eating. For anyone that loves lamb, this will create many smiles.

The last two recipes of the day are geared toward the vegetarian crowd.

I will admit, most vegetarian dishes don’t do an awful lot for me, but I enjoy both of these. I think part of the reason I enjoy these is because they are done on the grill and have enough extra ingredients to make them delicious, like all of these tacos. Quite often, unless you are a true vegetarian, throwing together a vegetarian menu option can be just emptying out your refrigerator to utilize what is banging around. In and of itself, utilizing what’s banging around is a great way to clean out the fridge and still eat well, but true vegetarian cooking means planning ahead, regardless of your food preference. So, let’s go shopping to do these last two vegetarian taco recipes right.

Grilled Summer Squash Tacos 1 lb summer squash, zucchini, or a combo of the two 2 tsp olive oil A couple good pinches of chili powder A couple good pinches of Cajun seasoning A couple good pinches of cayenne pepper Salt 2 avocados Juice of 1 lime

2 plum tomatoes, diced 8 corn tortillas 1 medium red onion, sliced 1 ¼ cup Cojita cheese ½ cup fresh chopped cilantro Cut the squash in half lengthwise, and then into ½ inch wedges. Combine all the spices in a small bowl. Put the squash in a larger bowl and toss with the olive oil, then throw in the spice mix and continue to toss until the squash is well coated. On a greased, high-heated grill, pop on the seasoned squash and grill on all sides so they are charred all over. In a small bowl, mash the avocado with the lime juice and a pinch of salt and then fold in the tomatoes. Heat the tortillas on the grill for 30-45 seconds on each side, spread the quickie guacamole over one side of the tortillas, top with squash, and onions, cheese, and cilantro and enjoy.

Very simple and yet wicked good!

Last, but certainly not least, is a very simple and tasty vegetarian option.

You can easily throw this together in less than ½ an hour. This has incredible flavor, and combines the three usual suspects in Southwestern recipes: corn, black beans and a cilantro crème.

Grilled Corn and Black Bean Tacos with a Cilantro Crema 2 tbsp olive oil, divided ½ large sweet onion 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 cans black beans, 15 oz each, drained and rinsed 4 oz can fire roasted green chilies 1 tbsp chili powder

Family Camping in a Farm Setting on the Swift River

1 tbsp ground cumin 1 tsp smoked paprika Sea salt & fresh grind black pepper Juice from 2 limes, divided 2 ears corn 1 ¼ cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half ½ cup Greek yogurt 1 ¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves 8 corn tortillas On an oiled, high-heated grill, lay down the corn which has been brushed with olive oil and sprinkled with salt and pepper. Grill until somewhat charred all over but not burnt. Set aside. While the corn is cooking, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a pot on a medium heat. Pop the onions into the pot and cook until they are softened. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add the beans, the juice of 1 lime, the green chilies and some salt and pepper. Stir very well and simmer for 15 minutes until the beans are softened. While that is cooking, cut the corn off the ears. Go back to the bean mixture, and with a fork, mash the mixture up somewhat. This doesn’t need to be completely mashed, just

somewhat chunky. If you prefer it to be smooth, that is fine as well. There is no wrong way as the flavor is going to be pretty much the same. Let the bean mixture continue to simmer on a low heat. In a food processor, add the yogurt, juice of 1 lime, and 1 cup of the cilantro. Chop the remaining cilantro with a knife. Grill the tortillas, add 2 tbsp of the bean mixture to each, top with grilled corn, then tomatoes, the cilantro crema, and a few more slices of chopped cilantro. These are so good.

The black bean mixture is off the charts delicious!

Taco Tuesday doesn’t have to be on Tuesdays my friends, so rip into these yummy tacos anytime you wish. You won’t be disappointed. I’ll see you all next week to share some great grilled side dishes and veggies. Until then, ciao everyone and above all, remember to enjoy good food, regardless who makes it.

Ashland’s Railroad Station to Celebrate 150 Years As part of the Boston to Montreal line, the Boston, Concord and Montreal Railroad worked on a route from Concord, NH to Wells River, Vt. from 1845 to 1853. In 1849 it reached Ashland, at the time called Holderness Village. A station was built to accommodate both passengers and freight, but by 1869 they decided to split up these activities and build a passenger station.

In 1891 the station was moved and renovated and today is still known as the Ashland Railroad Station Museum.

The rail line was eventually leased to the Boston & Maine Railroad in 1895 and the last passenger train north of Laconia ended in October of 1959.

The train was important to Ashland.

If you listen to stories from longtime residents, they will tell you how they used to go to Plymouth or Laconia to shop or be entertained. The freight station was busy with deliveries to and from the numerous mills in town,

bringing in raw materials and taking finished products to a larger market.

In February of 1960, the station was sold to Joseph Curley. After his death, his wife donated it to the Ashland Historical Society in 1980. Though preserved unchanged, the building was in need of repair. From 1997 to 1998 the station was brought back to its former grandeur through a federal

grant. It opened to the public in 1999 as a museum and meeting place. And the trains still come. The Hobo Railroad in Lincoln, as well as the Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad in Meredith, lease the line. It is used for special events and fall foliage tours.

The next special event will be on September 14 when the public is invited to celebrate the railroad station’s 150th

anniversary at the station beginning at 11 am. Visit the museum and learn the history, enjoy food, music, souvenirs, displays, and events. At 4 pm, “The Ashland Special” will arrive and clank up the tracks to the Plymouth Railroad Station, where you will witness demonstrations of Civil War era dance and music. This is a rare opportunity to board the train in Ashland and return as well.

To reserve your seats with a credit card, call the Hobo Railroad in Lincoln, NH at 603-745-2135 any day between 9 am and 4 pm. Tickets may also be purchased by check payable to “Ashland Historical Society” with notation “RR150” and mailed to PO Box 175, Ashland, NH 03217. Your commemorative ticket will be available at the ticket office at the station on the day of the ride.

Come dressed in 1860s era attire or come as you are; everyone is welcome on this special day.

DIFFERENT TAKES: The Whimsical World of Pam Urda After a summer of talks and workshops on the changing climate, the Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery invites you to step into the world of the whimsical, the fun, and the sometimes absurd.

Artist Pam Urda’s creatures, mostly chickens, are all about pure delight.

Pam is an untrained artist whose work has crept into the hearts of all who follow her. Don’t miss her exhibit, which opens on Saturday, September 14 from 5 to 7 pm.

Pam is a passionate painter and gardener. Her life is about color. Her artist’s statement best describes what you will see on the gallery walls in September: “I love being outside and believe Mother Nature is a genius. The textures, colors and shapes of animals,

plants and water are tiny miracles every day. With acrylic paint, texture medium and a heavy dose of both curiosity and humor, I attempt to convey how I feel in my gardens where bees clumsily bumble, or enjoying a rollicking walk along a rushing stream with my loyal dogs. I love Pam Urda, We Are Family, acrylic on all colors in nature canvas, 16 x 20 inches. from the brightest of yellows in the

My delight is to come as close as I am able to what Mother Nature has to offer, knowing that what I create will always be a humble second, at best. Though I am not institutionally trained, creativity has always been a partner. Pattern, texture and color have always been a fascination, but

my most influential teacher has been curiosity. Following the ‘I wonder what would happen if I...’ line of thought has been the greatest adventure of my life so far. Be it iridescent medium mixed with gloss, experimenting with palette knives to create foliage in landscape painting, or simply walking down an untried path with my pups, following my curiosity has proven to be a true blessing in my life.”

Yester year

Belknap College: Education in Center Harbor

By Mark Okrant During the last century, numerous for-profit (aka private) colleges were operating within New Hampshire.

It was owing to the generosity of benefactors, as well as the more pliant purse strings of the federal government during those years, that those small schools remained operational. Sadly, as funding sources shrank, the vast majority was forced out of business.

Beginning during the 1960s, more than 1,200 for-profit colleges closed their doors nationwide. In New Hampshire, 14 institutions were shuttered, nearly one-half during the 1970s alone (note: closing dates appear below in parentheses). Older readers may well be part of the alumni rolls of Belknap College (1973), Canaan College (1973), Concord College (1973), Franconia College (1978), Mount St. Mary College (1978), and Pierce College for Women (1972).

Moreover, during the last decade, we have witnessed the termination of White Pines College (2012), Daniel Webster College (2017), Lebanon College (2014), McIntosh College (2009), and Hesser/Mount Washington College (2016).

The presence of college campuses within communities can be a blessing and a curse to the local citizenry, depending upon a complex set of circumstances. Close to home, Belknap College was near and dear to residents of Center Harbor. If you are in your late 60s or older, it is likely that you have clear memories of the campus and its students. However, for those who are not yet eligible for Medicare, you may be unfamiliar with that erstwhile educational institution.

Belknap College was established in Center Harbor, in 1963. Its cofounders were Dr. Royal M. Frye and Virginia M. Brigham. According to one source, Frye started the school with considerable help from benefactor Dr. Edward Dane, as an alternative to

the financially floundering College of Advanced Science in Canaan, where Frye was employed previously. Much of the property that the college soon occupied was part of the Dane family estate.

At the school’s zenith, there were approximately 450 students on campus.

Classified as a liberal arts college that emphasized science education, students took courses in the natural and social sciences as well as the humanities.

Additionally, Belknap offered a program in medical technology to its women students.

This was not a school one would attend in search of professional or other advanced programs. A faculty of 35 taught science and mathematics (13 professors), business administration and medical technology (8), English (4), history (3), foreign languages (3), other social sciences (2), and arts and humanities (2). The administration and faculty took special pride in the college’s meteorology program.

Physically, the campus was very attractive. It occupied a two and onehalf mile, hilly, winding stretch along Dane Road (Route 25B) in Center Harbor. There were numerous campus structures of varying shapes and sizes. On the west end of campus was Founders Hall, an attractive, two-plus story red brick structure that served as Belknap College’s central building.

At the east end of Dane Road, the Coe House served as the principal women’s dormitory. This ornate wood-framed structure has an elaborate front porch and a cupola on its roof. Both Founders Hall and the Coe House can still be seen by motorists traveling along Route 25B. To link the various segments of campus, the college operated a bus that ran up and down the hill on an hourly basis.

Why did Belknap College fail?

Certainly the principal factor was the lack of a steady, reliable source of funding. Much like other schools

www.thelaker.com Your Where-To-Go, What-To-Do Guide for the Lakes Region

of this ilk situated throughout the country, Belknap was able to rely less and less upon the federal government with the passage of time. This placed the fiscal burden squarely upon private benefactors, whose interest and financial solvency ebbed and flowed. By the Fall term in 1972, the administration recognized that the school was in dire financial straits.

Making matters worse, on November 9, 1972, the Harper House dormitory burned to the ground, leaving two students injured and 26 homeless.

The school was kept open during the following summer by a last minute infusion of money. However, the proverbial handwriting was on the wall.

A second reason for Belknap’s dire situation was the absence of educational accreditation throughout much of its history. This made it difficult, if not impossible, for students to obtain school loans from the federal government. As a result, education majors felt it necessary to transfer to neighboring institutions. Furthermore, without accreditation, alumni found it difficult to gain entry into graduate schools or to obtain employment. The college finally closed its doors at the end of the 1973 Fall term.

Students who had attended Belknap College were similar to undergraduates on campuses throughout the country during the 1960s and 70s. They embodied a broad range along the socio-economic spectrum. Like college students elsewhere, a number held work-study positions, served as dorm monitors, and performed other services to defray expenses. For many first-year students, campus orientation was their first exposure to New England.

One example was Tom Whalen (class of 1968). Leaving his home in Pennsylvania behind, Whalen felt he’d found heaven in the form of the White Mountains, clear blue lakes, and fall foliage. Like many others, Whalen’s first opportunity to try winter sports came while matriculating at Belknap. So enamored was Whalen with the college and its surroundings,

he ultimately returned to the area, operating Wild Meadow Paddlesports for more than 20 years.

Whalen had this to say about a popular misconception that Belknap College was a den of draft-dodgers. He calmly set the record straight. “Belknap students represented a cross-section of points of view, much like college students everywhere.

Returning Vietnam War veterans shared the campus with those who opposed the hostilities, as well as others who were completely detached from the debate.”

Belknap College was typical of campuses in other ways. Students participated in, and were supporters of, the men’s intercollegiate athletic teams, the Huskies. Belknap competed in basketball, crew, ice hockey, and soccer during those times. Students took great pride in the quality of education they were receiving. Whalen referred to the teaching at the school as “impressive,” with numerous courses having been taught by graduates of Ivy League institutions.

The school has been closed for nearly a half a century. However, what has been left behind is more than a scattering of buildings. To this day, Belknap College alums exhibit considerable pride in their alma mater.

Not long ago, alums purchased a bench for the lawn in front of the local library, as well as a memorial plaque that has been placed on Main Street in Center Harbor.

More impressive, not to mention unusual, is the way students who attended the school keep close tabs on one another. For example, Whalen was able to provide me with an impressive list of alums. Some had become state legislators, selectmen, town moderators, teachers, coaches, as well as one Boston television meteorologist. Even more unusual is the frequency with which Belknap alums communicate with one another, have periodic get-togethers, and even attend reunions. Clearly, the former college on Dane Road did something right back in the day.

Brown Bears of Katmai; David Govatski photo.

Learn about Alaskan Brown Bears at the Loon Center David Govatski will present a program on The Bears of Katmai on Thursday, September 19 at 7 pm. The fascinating look at Brown Bears is a program of the Lakes Region Chapter of the NH Audubon Society and will take place at the Loon Center on Lees Mills Road in Moultonborough.

Katmai National Park, located on the Alaska Peninsula in southwest Alaska, encompasses four million spectacular acres famous for its geology, salmon, and the world’s largest protected population of Brown Bears, estimated at 2,200. Large numbers of the bears congregate at Brook’s Falls to feed on the abundant spawning salmon.

The park has 15 active volcanoes, and became a national monument in 1918 following the world’s largest eruption in the 20th century of the Novarupta Volcano in 1912.

During the summer, the Brown Bears feed on a diet of salmon, and large bears are known to eat up to 90 pounds in one day. You can see up to two dozen Brown Bears at one time in the river from the safety of observation

platforms.

The program will discuss how the bears get along with each other, how they fish, and other aspects of their lives. Brown Bears and Grizzly Bears are actually the same species, with the difference being mainly in diet and where they live.

This program will also cover the other wildlife, plants, and the spectacular geology of the Valley of the 10,000 Smokies, including ash deposits, and Jurassic era fossils along the Lethe River.

David Govatski retired from the U.S. Forest Service after a 33-year career, and currently works as a naturalist, writer, and expedition ship naturalist in Alaska.

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

Refreshments will be served. For information, call 603-476-5666.

Ted Vigil’s John Denver Tribute Opens Wolfeboro Friends of Music’s 84th Year The Wolfeboro Friends of Music will open its 84th season with Ted Vigil’s wonderfully popular tribute to John Denver’s music. The concert opens at Brewster’s Anderson Hall at 7:30 pm on Saturday, September 21. Vigil is back by popular demand, having performed before a sold-out audience two years ago.

NH Thrill Writer at Moultonborough Book Author Lunch Bestselling New Hampshire writer, Diane Les Becquets, will be this year’s featured speaker at the Book and Author Luncheon hosted by the Friends of the Moultonborough Library. This special annual event will be held at the Bald Peak Colony Club at noon on Monday, September 23. The event will begin with drinks on the terrace, followed by lunch and the author’s talk.

Diane Les Becquets was originally from Nashville. She lived in Colorado for many years and moved to New Hampshire in 2006 to become an English professor and a director in the MFA program at Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU). Prior to SNHU, Ms. Les Becquet’s job experiences included working as a sand and gravel dispatcher, lifeguard, archaeology assistant, copywriter, marketing consultant, medical journalist, teacher and mother. Her passion for the outdoors shines through every book and anchors every story. She is a competitive archer and loves to hike, backpack off grid, snowshoe, swim, snowmobile and bicycle. The mountains, plains and high deserts in the books aren’t just settings, they are an essential part of the plot.

Diane Les Becquet’s most recent books, “Breaking Wild” and the just released “The Last Woman in the Forest” are thrillers, full of suspense and intrigue, featuring Colorado, Montana and Washington. These recent novels are directed at adults, while her prior

She has been obsessed with writing and storytelling since she was a child and her books have grown with her. She has collected numerous awards including PEN American fellowship, Maine Lupine Award, Colorado Book Award, NH Outstanding Work of Fiction, Finalist for the Reading the West Award and the Indie Next Pick. Kirkus Reviews put “Breaking Wild” on their list of 10 most addictive books of 2016.

Lakes Region Curling Registration is Underway Registration is now open for Lakes Region Curling Association’s (LRCA) fall 2019 season. The league will mark the start of the association’s fifth year of bringing the Olympic sport to the region.

Running from mid-October to midDecember, the fall season offers eight weekly curling matches at Pop Whalen Ice Arena in Wolfeboro. Matches take place from 5:15 to 7:15 pm on Sunday evenings.

A pre-season learn-to-curl session will be scheduled for early October for new curlers.

For men and women of all ages and fitness levels, curling is a sport that combines skill, teamwork, and strategy.

With that in mind, LRCA matches put a premium on friendly competition, sportsmanship and fun.

Players can register singly, with a partner, or as full teams of four to six players. LRCA organizers will find teams for players who are not already affiliated. No previous experience is needed, and the association provides all necessary equipment.

The $195 registration fee defrays the cost of ice time, equipment, and insurance.

For information about the sport of curling in general and the LRCA in particular, visit www.lakescurlingnh. org.

To register, download and complete both a registration form and a waiver form at lakescurlingnh.org/ membership. For more information about the upcoming curling league, send a message to info@lakescurlingnh.org.

“96 Mantras” is the title of artist Anita Muise’s September exhibit at the Gafney Library in Sanbornville.

Muise talks about the exhibit this way, “‘96 Mantras’ is a show of spontaneous drawings collaged to canvas. Most were drawn at odd moments, without planning, using whatever materials were conveniently at hand: copier paper, yellow tablet paper, graph paper, so the work is not archival. For that reason, it is not offered for sale but rather for ephemeral enjoyment of a creative experiment.”

Muise further explains her creations, “My work is all about color and pattern and how they can be combined to elevate mood and energy. I have adopted the square format almost exclusively and designs develop intuitively from the center. The act of making art is a form of meditation and it is my intention that the viewer be energetically shifted into a higher dimension while viewing the

Storing Summer’s Bounty ~ Freezing Fruit Fruit can be safely frozen using different methods based upon the desired use of the final product.

Although the use of sugar or syrup is not necessary to achieve a safe product, most fruit used for eating will have a better texture if frozen using a sugar or syrup pack. Fruit used for baking is best frozen using a sugar or dry-pack.

Download the fact sheet.

Containers for Freezing Using proper packaging material for freezing food is important to help protect flavor, color, moisture content, and nutritive value of the food while in the freezer.

In general, rigid containers, such as glass and plastic, are suitable for all packs, especially for liquid packs.

Regular glass breaks easily at freezer temperatures. If using glass jars, choose wide mouth jars that are made for freezing and canning. Plastic freezer-grade bags are good for dry pack with little to no liquid. If using plastic bags, press them to remove as much air as possible before closing.

General characteristics of packaging materials should be: • Moisture vapor resistant • Durable and leak proof • Made of freezer grade material

• Resistant to oil, grease or water • Protect foods from absorption of flavor or odors • Easy to seal - use freezer tape if needed to reinforce the seal • Easy to label and date • Containers that hold less than onehalf gallon Did You Know?

Head space allows for the expansion of fruit during the freezing process.

Apples Select crisp apples. Wash, peel and core. Slice medium apples into twelfths and large into sixteenths.

Preparation - Select a pack method Syrup Pack - Use 40% cold syrup. To prevent browning, add 1/2 tsp. (1500 mg) ascorbic acid to each quart of syrup. Start with 1/2 cup cold syrup in a pint container, add fruit, press fruit down and add syrup to cover. Crumple a small piece of water-resistant paper on top to hold fruit down.

Sugar Pack - To prevent darkening, dissolve 1/2 tsp. (1500 mg) ascorbic acid in 3 Tbsp. water. Sprinkle over fruit. You can also steam apple slices for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Cool and drain.

Mix 1/2 cup sugar with 1 quart fruit.

Dry Pack - Follow directions for sugar pack, omitting the sugar. Treated apple slices can also be frozen on a tray

Type of Syrup | Sugar | Water: 10% (very light) 1/2 cup | 4 cups 20% (light) 1 cup | 4 cups 30% (medium) 1 3/4 cups | 4 cups 40% (heavy) 2 3/4 cups | 4 cups 50% (very heavy) | 4 cups | 4 cups Directions: Dissolve sugar in lukewarm water according to the chart; mix until dissolved. Chill syrup before

using.

To Prevent Darkening Light-colored fruits are kept from darkening during handling by the addition of ascorbic acid. Use either powdered ascorbic acid (available where food preservation supplies are sold) or crushed vitamin C tablets.

Finely crush vitamin C tablets before use. Fillers in the tablets may make the syrup cloudy but it is not harmful.

Follow the directions below when adding ascorbic acid in various types of packs.

• In syrup or liquid packs - Add powdered or crushed ascorbic acid to cold syrup shortly before using. Stir it in gently so you do not stir in air. Keep syrup refrigerated until use.

• In sugar or dry packs - Dissolve the ascorbic acid in two to three tablespoons of cold water and sprinkle the mixture over fruit just before adding sugar.
