The Ghost Train steams into Tamworth at The Barnstormers Anyone familiar with The Barnstormers Theatre knows the legend of The Ghost Train. When Francis and Alice Cleveland and Ed Goodnow founded The Barnstormers, they chose Arnold Ridley’s The Ghost Train as their first show, knowing it would captivate 1931 audiences. Now, 87 years and several(!) performances later, audience members still clamor to know when The Ghost Train will ride in to the theatre - which, The Barnstormers is happy to announce, will be this summer, from July 13 to 22. “Our production invites you to step back in time with us - to when the good guys were clever and cunning, the bad guys were more recognizable and predictable, and the train station was
the one great communal nexus for all,” shares Blair Hundertmark, the show’s director. “While the world has indeed become much more complicated since 1923, when Arthur Ridley wrote The Ghost Train, our imaginations remain as eager as ever to be thrilled and titillated by the prospects of ghosts and the tension of suspense.” The show’s plot centers on an eclectic group of travelers, with little in common, who miss their connection and must spend the night in a closed train station in backwoods Maine, not far from the Canadian border. When the travelers are told by the less-thanfriendly Station Master the story of the ghost train that runs through there every year on the anniversary of a terrible accident, most are skeptical - until they

Sandwich and Freedom Gear Up for Old Home Week! By Sarah Wright Many local towns are gearing up for their traditional Old Home Days, or Old Home Week. It’s a time when residents can celebrate their town, and it originally began as a way to tempt former residents to return home. Back in the late 1800s, people were leaving small farms in New England for betterpaying factory jobs in the cities or heading to the South and Midwest where farming was easier. New Hampshire Governor Frank Rollins hoped that by starting Old Home Days, former residents would return to their hometowns and maybe be lured into staying. Much as it still is today, nothing beats the appeal of a smalltown community. Here are two Old Home Weeks taking place in towns near Route 16. Freedom celebrates its 119th Old Home Week from Friday, July 28 to August 6 with plenty of events! Festivities kick off at 2:30 pm on Friday with great activities for kids. The first is a performance of “Moses and the Freedom Fanatics” by the First Christian Church Music Camp, which will take place at the Freedom Elementary School. At 3:30 pm, the Freedom Library hosts Tie Dye & Spin Art for kids followed by pizza and the movie “Boss Baby” at 5 pm. Or choose to attend the Lawn Party at 8 Elm Street with refreshments and music by Becky Riley on the keyboard. Saturday is Parade Day in Freedom!
Band concert from last year’s Old Home Week. Photo courtesy Nancy Griffin At 9 am, the Ladies Guild will hold a Quilts & Crafts Show at the First Christian Church of Freedom.

Pick up coffee and donuts outside the town hall, hot dogs by the Freedom Village Store, and ice cream next to the post office.

Great Waters Music Festival Offers Free Performance On Friday, July 21 Great Waters Music Festival will present “Adrienne Danrich – This Little Light of Mine” at Anderson Hall in Wolfeboro. The performance tells the stories of Marian Anderson and Leontyne Price; Adrienne Danrich captures the essence of the personalities and artistry of the two great artist/pioneers. Her storytelling ability and the beauty of her voice combine to bring the accomplishments of these great women to audiences that will never hear them ‘live’. Written by Adrienne Danrich under a commission from the Cincinnati
Opera, “This Little Light of Mine” is an inventive one-woman musical tribute honoring the groundbreaking careers of two African-American opera legends that overcame many racial barriers from the Jim Crow era through the Civil Rights Movement to become international opera stars. Ms. Anderson became the first African-American singer to perform at The Metropolitan Opera House in New York and Ms. Price would take that torch and carry it to The Metropolitan Opera and the most prestigious opera houses around the world.

Spelling (and laughter) take center stage in Village Players musical This summer, The Village Players is presenting The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee on July 14, 15, 21 and 22 at 7:30 pm and July 23 at 2 pm at the theater on 51 Glendon Street in Wolfeboro. Tickets are available at Black’s Paper and Gifts on Main Street in Wolfeboro, online at www.villageplayers.com, or at the door. Spelling Bee is a musical, which is a rare treat for summer fare at The Village Players’ Theater. The show is based on the book by Rachel Sheinkin, with a score by William Finn. Kathleen Hill is directing the play with Assistant Director Christian Boudman. Kaylin Dean is directing choreography and Bobby Burns is Musical Director. Spelling Bee features some challenging dialog in the form of some very out-of-the-mainstream words such as palaver, indicant, rooibos and omphaloskepsis. The six contestants, Chip Tolentino (played by Connor Nelson), Logainne Schwarzandgrubenierre (played by Rebecca Connelly), Leaf Coneybear (played by Garrison Barron), Marcy Park (played by Sammi Smith), Olive Ostrosky (played by Gwen Collins), and William Barfee (played by Joshua Spaulding) are all “tweens” (11-13 year-olds) who have to deal with the challenge of these bizarre words. They also have to navigate life with their dysfunctional families, the high
pressure of competition, the psychoses (and slightly off-color behavior) of the adults on the stage with them, and the expectations of their parents. As the spelling bee progresses, time gets distorted as the contestants are alternately triumphant and defeated. The action plays out in real time with the characters experiencing some stream of consciousness and flashbacks, which paint a picture of the contestants’ lives outside the competition. There is also audience involvement that, along with song and dance numbers, keeps things lively. Through it all, Douglas Panch (played by Bob Tuttle) delivers all the rules, words and, upon request, definitions. Tuttle says the role is very different from what he has done before. “Staying in character is a bit of a challenge. There are long periods when the action is on the contestants and I’m just sitting in the background on stage. The spelling words are very off-mainstream. Also, the montage (a musical number) is fast and I’m not about fast.” Of Panch, Tuttle says, “He is burnt out and sick of the job. He’s at a dead end. I’m trying to channel Ben Stein as the teacher in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, ‘Bueller… Bueller…’” The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is sponsored in part by Richard J. Neal, DMD.

Live Music at the Lake - Summer Concert Series at the Pavilion If you love being outdoors, and you also love good music, you’re in luck this summer. Presented by Meredith Village Savings Bank and coordinated by Tuftonboro Parks and Recreation, a series of outdoor concerts is underway at 19 Mile Bay Beach Pavilion, on Bay Road in Tuftonboro, right next to the shores of the lake. Bring a blanket or chair for seating on the beach or lawn. There is no need to pack snacks or drinks, because concessions will be for sale. All are welcome to enjoy an evening of fine music. The series offers a variety of musical styles, with a July 23 concert featuring Music in the Mountains/NH Music Festival, followed by Big Medicine on July 27. The concerts begin at 6:30 pm. While the concerts are free to the public, a free-will offering will be accepted, with proceeds benefitting the Tuftonboro Scholarship Fund. The New Hampshire Music Festival has been bringing the finest in classical music to listeners for many years. Their Tuftonboro concert is part of the Festival’s popular Music in the
Big Medicine will perform on July 27 in Tuftonboro. Mountains series. Big Medicine Band is made up of musicians whose years of experience have come together seamlessly and with the ease of a timeless ballad. Charlie Zatzkin was most recently a member of the local “Traveling Wolfeburys”. He played for years in and around
Philadelphia. He was lead singer and guitarist for “Probable Cause” and was seen on local TV dance shows and in clubs at the Jersey Shore. Bruce Berger, drummer, was lead singer and a founding member of “44 Magnum” from Manchester, whose
success was well known as they were followed throughout New England. Lynn (Hughes) Berger plays keys and has performed her songs in Italy, Austria, Sedona Arizona and in many New Hampshire venues. Bud Clark on bass is a main staple of many local bands, most recently with The Carolyn Ramsey Band. His 30 years of experience make him uniquely qualified to bring rhythm to rock and R&B with ease. Big Medicine is well-known locally, having played New Year’s gigs and Hobbs Tavern, and special events at Wolfetrap Grill and Rawbar. They were the opening act for James Montgomery and Barry Goudreau at Pitman’s Freight Room in Laconia. Their set lists consist of classic rock from Eagles, Beatles, 60’s hits, Motown and lots of surprises, all designed to take you back comfortably to a simpler time.

The Wakefield Opera House Summer Festival (on Fridays from 7/14-8/11) continues on Friday, July 21 with Linda Pouliot, Jazz Blues Vocalist at 7 pm following food at 6 pm. The concert will be held rain or shine in Turntable Park on Meadow Street, Sanbornville. Admission is free (donations are greatly appreciated), plus there will be a 50/50 Raffle. Sit back and relax to an evening of soulful entertainment. Writer Rick Franz says of Pouliot’s performance, “It really took me back. All of a sudden I’m back home in Chicago and it’s more than 20 years ago. She is a true jazz artist in the most traditional sense; a classic voice that reminds me as much of scratchy
recordings from the 1930s as it does of the dark, tiny bar so long ago in my own past.” Pouliot’s sets often include current singers Norah Jones, Amy Winehouse, Madeleine Peyroux and the songs of Billie Holiday and Bessie Smith, Etta James, Edith Piaf, Rina Ketty, Josephine Baker....the jazz standards, soulful blues, Gershwin and original tunes that inspire audiences and make them want more of her heartfelt vocal style. The next concert will be Seacoast Men of Harmony on July 28. For information visit Wakefield Opera House on Facebook.

Lee Settlement Quest Now Available for a Day of Fun The Lakes Region Conservation Trust (LRCT) has announced the availability of the Lee Settlement Quest at LRCT’s Castle in the Clouds Conservation Area in Moultonboro. The Quest is a new and highly enjoyable free summer activity for outdoor enthusiasts of all ages. The Lee Settlement Quest is a “treasure hunting” activity in which participants explore a forest trail in the Ossipee Mountains using a set of rhyming clues in order to find a treasure box. In the process, participants see and learn about many natural and historical items they might well miss in a casual walk The location of the Quest is at the north end of the Castle in the Clouds grounds within the 5,381 conserved acres of LRCT’s Castle in the Clouds Conservation Area. It is accessed by traveling up Ossipee Park Road from Route 171. A copy of the Quest can be picked up at the Castle in the Clouds Gift Shop or downloaded directly from the LRCT at lrct.org. Over the past year, the Lee Settlement Quest has been tested by numerous members of LRCT, as well as the general public, and found to be easy to understand and navigate, educational, and of course, fun for both adults and children. Summer visitors, young people, retirees, grandparents, and parents with children have all tried and enjoyed the Quest. The following is a comment recently received by LRCT: “My husband and I walked the Quest one afternoon. We’ve walked, skied, and snowshoed the Lee Settlement and Whitten trails innumerable times.
We found almost everything that was mentioned in the text. We were both amazed at what we had missed previously: the original cobblestones, the culvert, and the biggest/most fun surprise of all: the pile of New Hampshire ‘potatoes’.” After taking a group of three adults and three girls (ages 9, 10, and 11) on the Quest recently, the same LRCT member reported numerous examples of curiosity and team analysis of the clues by the children, concluding: “The 3 adults just kept looking at each other in astonishment as we watched a blur of six skinny legs bound forward and backward like puppy dogs. They found everything on the Quest, and read every plaque…. re: favorite parts: two kids said actually finding the box was the best part. The 3rd kid said she liked the cemetery best. All three adults said the best part was watching how the three worked together and how much fun they had.” The Quest follows 19th-century roads that connected a series of family farms known as the Lee Settlement, originally settled by the Lee Family in 1792. The Quest identifies cemeteries and their occupants, cellar holes, and natural curiosities along the way. A number of areas of particular interest have explanatory plaques mounted on trees with old photographs showing the buildings and people in the late 19th century. LRCT developed the Lee Settlement Quest to promote greater enjoyment and appreciation of the Castle in the Clouds Conservation Area by young families with children, and the Quest is proving very successful in that regard.
The author of the Quest is Dr. David Leuser, a professor of Management at Plymouth State University and LRCT volunteer. Dr. Leuser is preparing a book on the history of Ossipee Mountain Park, which was a 19th-century tourist attraction located near the Lee Settlement between 1880 and 1911. Goals of the Quest include greater community involvement and support, greater understanding of the unique history of the beautiful and popular vacation area of New Hampshire, and motivating young people in particular to take time away from their electronic screens to get outdoors and appreciate the natural beauty and heritage of the Lakes Region. The Quest route is approximately 1.5 miles long and of moderate difficulty. In addition to this route, the Castle in the Clouds Conservation Area includes over 30 miles of well-marked hiking trails and carriage roads with great vistas of Lake Winnipesaukee. Another relatively easy hike on the property is The Brook Walk, which offers multiple picturesque cascades and waterfalls in a forested valley. LRCT’s Castle in the Clouds Hiking Trails Map is available for purchase either online directly from LRCT at lrct.org or at the Castle in the
Our 49th Year!
Custom & Estate Jewelry
Clouds Gift Shop. Beyond these natural attractions, visitors can take advantage of a number of facilities that are part of the Castle in the Clouds historic mansion run by the Castle Preservation Society. These include the Castle in the Clouds mansion itself, the Carriage House Restaurant offering luncheon meals (with a patio overlooking the lake), a separate outdoor snack bar offering lighter meals and snacks, picnic tables overlooking a pond stocked with large trout, which can be fed with special food available on the dock, and the gift shop. The combination of activities allows a couple, a group of friends, or a family to enjoy a full day of fun together after participating in the Quest. Since its founding in 1979, the Lakes Region Conservation Trust has conserved over 25,000 acres of land throughout the Lakes Region in 145 properties. LRCT’s land conservation work preserves community character, conserves critical wildlife habitat and diverse ecosystems, protects natural landmarks and scenic landscapes, and provides recreational opportunities for people of all ages.

Comedy…and Journey Tribute at Rochester Opera House Jackie Flynn has emerged as one of the funniest and most talked-about comedians to come out of Boston. He will perform at the Rochester Opera House on Friday, July 28; doors open at 7 pm and the show begins at 8 pm. Joining the ranks of Steven Wright, Denis Leary, Lenny Clarke and Jay Leno, Flynn has quickly parlayed his success as a stand-up to firmly establish himself in film and television, featured in several episodes of the hit series “The King of Queens,” and a guest appearance on “Veep” on HBO. A Comic’s Comic, his refreshingly unique brand of sarcastic observational humor puts him in a class all his own. Audiences young and old appreciate his wit and rapid-fire “take no prisoners” delivery. Jackie Flynn is an actor and comedian with prominent stand-up appearances, as well as extensive film credits to his name, gracing the stages of the Improv, Comedy Store, Flappers, The Laugh Factory and other noteworthy venues. Early in his career, Jackie was discovered on stage in Boston by the Farrelly brothers, who have since cast
him in backto-back roles in “King Pin”, “There’s Something About Mary”, “Me, Myself And Irene” “Shallow Hal” and “ S t u c k On You.” R e c e n t l y, Jackie had prominent roles in “The Three Stooges,” p l a y i n g opposite Kevin James in “Here Comes The Boom,” and an upcoming film “Special Unit.” Purchase tickets online or call the Opera House box office at 603-3351992, Wednesday through Friday from noon to 5 pm, and one hour before the show.
Frontiers has been hailed by fans and critics alike as the best Journey tribute band in the world. Frontiers performs J o u r n e y ’s music with chilling a c c u r a c y. Lead vocalist Elaine Tuttle is an absolute dead ringer for Steve P e r r y , vocally. Fans agree that Frontiers deliver the closest experience to the original Steve Perry fronted lineup. The band will perform at the Rochester Opera House in Rochester on Saturday, July 29 and features worldclass New York musicians Damon

Surroundings Art Gallery’s Cam Sinclair resides in New Hampshire and retired in 2006 after a 35-year career in public education as a guidance counselor, wrestling and soccer coach. He is still active as a coach and referee. Cam’s first love is painting and retirement has allowed him to devote more time to continue his journey as an artist. He took up painting after graduating from Springfield College in Springfield, Massachusetts with a Master’s Degree in Psychology in 1971. Cam’s love of the rural New England landscape is evident in his artwork as he strives to capture the different moods and lighting of the ever-changing mountains, fields, streams, and lakes. His paintings have won “Best in Show” awards at numerous art shows over the years. His artwork caught the eye of an art critic from the Boston
Globe who described his smaller paintings as “Impressionistic Jewels.” Born in Shanghai, China, Cam spent most of his youth growing up in Mumbai, India. He is married and has three grown children. He continues to enjoy his retirement years and exploring new subject matter. Surroundings Art Gallery is located at 12 Main Street in Center Sandwich, NH. Hours of operation are 11 am to 4 pm from Tuesday through Saturday and noon to 4 pm on Sunday. Other viewing arrangements can be made by calling the gallery at 603-284-6888 or emailing at info@surroundingsart. com. The artwork of Cam Sinclair, plus the work of other Surroundings’ artists can be found at SurroundingsArt.com.

Artisans on the Green art and craft fair Over 30 New Hampshire artists and craftspeople will gather on the Sandwich Town Green on Thursday, August 10, from 10 am to 4:30 pm to demonstrate, describe, and sell quality arts and crafts. The annual event, held during Sandwich Old Home Week, is hosted by Sandwich Home Industries, a League of New Hampshire crafts gallery. The Artisans on the Green event celebrates existing artisans while also encouraging visitors to appreciate, purchase, and learn how to create beautiful objects. The public is welcome to talk with the artists, watch them work, and purchase objects with which they have fallen in love. Organized by Sandwich Home Industries each summer for many years, this event is a great way to celebrate the Home Industries mission and the commitment to community crafts education. Artisans show their expertise in every media, including fiber, glass, clay, metal, wood, paint, jewelry, and photography. Ben Adriance is one of the many local Sandwich craftspeople who will be demonstrating their craft on August 10. His woodworking skills and wood products include custom cabinetry, Shaker furniture, furniture repair, as well as the fabrication of English-style field gates. The historic white gallery building, which is adjacent to the Green, also showcases artisans during the fair day and through October 15 this year. For example, Sara Goodman, a fiber artist and educator who recently taught a five-day weaving course at Sandwich Home Industries, has her work displayed and sold at the Gallery building at 32 Main Street,
