Greg Heppe: Time Traveler Story by Barbara Neville Wilson Photos courtesy Greg and Teri Heppe
Greg Heppe stands behind the counter of his 1822 general store and laughs a little as he tells on himself. “So I was at the re-enactment last weekend, and I fired my musket a few times, and that was good, and I was standing in that hot, heavy wool uniform, looking around, and I just made a decision.” He leads with his shoulder and motions with his hand. “I just fell down dead.” He chuckles. “It was a lot less work.” I’m a little startled. “Kind of like one of those fainting goats on Facebook?” I ask. “Yeah. Just like that,” he says, glancing up a little sheepishly. “And then,” he goes on, “the commander comes by and says he needs some volunteers to guard the
cannon. So I think to myself. ‘You just stand there. No marching. No firing

of those heavy guns.’ I volunteer, and good, I get there, and I look around, and guess who’s there guarding with me?” I have no clue. “Three other guys all over the age of 70. We all know it’ll be a lot less work.” He grins. Retired teacher Greg Heppe is a military re-enactor. This day, he’s talking about an encampment with the 5th Militia, who portray life in an actual regiment from the Civil War. When Greg moved to New Hampshire in the 1980s, he was one of the five
original incorporators of the 5th. Soon the regiment grew to 150, one-tenth the size of the actual Civil War 5th. It’s pretty famous among infantry units, says Greg. “It had the highest mortality rate of any regiment in the Union.” It’s not the gruesomeness of war that draws Greg or probably any reenactors, though. He’s drawn because it’s a way of remembering “and the way of honoring, so to speak, the soldiers who were in those wars,” says Greg. “It’s all the camaraderie of war, but nobody gets hurt.” A lifelong history buff, Greg also says it’s “one of the most intense ways to study history. If you’ve marched 10 miles in the rain and eaten hardtack, you can relate in a different way” to history book facts. “How authentic do re-enactors get?” I ask. Everyone has a personal approach. Some people get obsessed making sure everything is correct, right down to the last detail. Others are like Terri, Greg’s wife, who is a camp follower during reenactments since very few women had an official military role. “My philosophy,” she says, “is the heck with the stays and corsets.” If you can’t see it, it doesn’t matter. When Greg first started re-enacting as a teen in the Midwest, there were very few true reproductions of any

Rochester Farmer’s Market Returns With Local Food and Entertainment The Rochester Farmer’s Market will take over the Rochester Common from 3 to 6 pm every Tuesday, (beginning June 13) and continuing through September 26. The market will feature fresh fruit, produce, meats, cheeses, fresh bread and flowers from a variety of vendors, as well as free entertainment and demonstrations. “The Farmer’s Market is truly a community hub that gives friends, neighbors, adults and kids a chance to come together to enjoy time with one another while supporting local farmers and businesses,” said City Manager Daniel Fitzpatrick. “Last year was a great success, and I expect this year’s market to be even better.” The Rochester Farmer’s Market serves as an opportunity for residents to shop for locally sourced foods and learn new and innovative ways to prepare them while developing a stronger sense of community. “We wanted to make sure we not only succeeded in providing local, nutritious
foods from local farmers, but also create a community gathering space where everyone could come together to enjoy some local entertainment and catch up,” Economic Development Specialist and market co-founder Jenn Marsh said. “We did just that in our first season, so we are eager to see the market return this summer.” To help make the market accessible to everyone, the Farmer’s Market has partnered with Seacoast Eat Local and earned a grant from HEAL NH that will allow vendors to accept the SNAP/ EBT card and offer a dollar for dollar match for the first $10 card users spend. “We are extremely grateful to Rochester Main Street, the city and our sponsors for their enthusiastic support of the market since the beginning of this effort,” Marsh said. “This would not have been possible without them.” For more information on the Farmer’s Market, visit www. rochesternhfarmersmarket.com.

• Time Traveler Continued from page 7 military gear, so he drilled with an authentic Civil War musket. Now, however, there’s quite a cottage industry that produce true-to-theperiod reproduction weaponry, clothing and gear. “Lots of guys make their own stuff,” too. “Reproduction” doesn’t necessarily mean less expensive, though. A good reproduction rifle goes for $1500 or more, the same price regularly logged at auctions for guns actually used in the Civil War. The hobby is expensive. “Not like golf or snowmobiles,” expensive, but not cheap by any measure. Reproduction period shoes, for instance, are needed for each period Greg re-enacts, and he needs all the proper equipment. Some people - “reenactment junkies” Greg calls them - have five or six different kits. Greg doesn’t begrudge the money for his hobby, though. “For me, it’s worth the expense.” Greg has been re-enacting since he was a teenager more than 50 years ago. But because he’s a stickler for authenticity, he finds that age has forced him to change the way he portrays things. He started as a Civil War Army re-enactor, but creeping age has modified his role. He grins, “It’s pretty hard to portray a 20 yearold soldier when you’re 70.” So a few years ago, he became a Civil War Navy re-enactor. For one thing, “Not many people are doing it (reenacting naval, rather than army, activity), and sailors should be remembered, too.” And echoing his search for authenticity, there were a “a large - at least respectable - number of old guys in the Navy,” he says. “There’s a pretty famous photo of guys on the deck of a Naval Ship” and the “youngest guy in the photo was 67 years old. I figured I can do historical interpretation without looking out of place.” He smiles wryly, “I fit the body type, if you will.” He has also expanded his repertoire, joining Harmon’s Snowshoemen a
few years ago. They are a group of New Englanders who portray frontier soldiers, 1675-1783. They re-enact the life of soldiers sent five or 10 miles out from settled areas to the frontiers to act as an early warning system should the French or Native Americans plan an attack. The soldiers were men who “didn’t have any particular use,” says Greg. Boys in their late teens, not yet married and without responsibility and older men who had raised their families and were beyond their peak working years. Once again, the outfit appealed to Greg’s yen for authenticity. In 1759, when the original Harmon fought in the Siege of Louisburg, he was 68 years old, and Greg’s age was just about that when he joined. The Snowshoemen re-enact three distinct periods taking on roles in three different troops: Benjamin Church’s Company (1675-1707), Harmon’s Snowshoeman (1745-1763) and Eames’s Rangers (1775-1783). Greg belongs to all three and has amassed complete kits for each. The difference in dress and weaponry is considerable in a period spanning just over 100 years, and it takes a special kind of person to be willing to try to
be authentic while re-enacting. “Not everyone likes sleeping on the ground wrapped in a bearskin or something like that,” says Greg. “People say the heavy coats are not particularly comfortable in summer. My answer to that is they weren’t particularly comfortable for THEM in summer either.” This summer, Terri and Greg will be at re-enactments practically every
where the divided highway ends and the mountains meet the lakes
weekend. And if their General Store (Center Tuftonboro General Store) sells soon, he hopes there will be even more in his future. “For a lot of people, re-enacting is an escape of the world you’re in,” Greg says, but for him, it’s more the allure of stepping back to yesterday. His definition of a successful event is when he loses himself in the activity. “For an instant, even longer, I want to feel like I’m really there.” It’s “that little glimpse of what it was really like—absent the horror, of course…that’s why they call it ‘living history.’ For an instant, you’re not reenacting. You’re really living it, you’re really there.” Re-enactments take place all over the country all summer long. In New Hampshire, you might meet Greg and Terri in Rollinsford, NH at the Paul Wentworth House June 17 and 18, or at Living History Days in Hillsboro August 19 and 20. Interested in learning more about joining a regiment? Check out the 5th NH Volunteers at www.fifthnhvol.org and Harmon’s Snowshoemen at www. snowshoemen.com, or do an online search for the time period that interests you and “reenactment.”

Explore the Gafney Library in Sanbornville By Sarah Wright Libraries are a wonderful and important resource for the towns they serve, and I love exploring new libraries with my children. The Gafney Library in Sanbornville may be on the smaller side, but it’s just as inviting as any library, and it has an interesting history. Public libraries didn’t really come about until the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Wealthy philanthropists would give generous donations to build libraries, and most often these libraries would be in the donor’s home town. Charles Benjamin Gafney was born in Ossipee in 1843. His parents passed away just a few years later, so Charles was placed with a guardian. He was a good student and eventually began studying law. At age 18, he enlisted in the army to fight in the Civil War. Charles was severely wounded in the battle of Petersburg, Virginia, but survived. After the war, he served as a clerk for the Senate Committee for Naval Affairs. He graduated from Columbia College Law School in 1868 and was appointed Judge of Probate for Stafford County in 1896. He died two years later, and in his will he left a trust of $5,000.00 to be used to establish a public library. Today, in addition to the regular circulation, there are six desktop computers, 24/7 wireless access from your laptop or phone, printers, copiers, a fax machine, and a notary service (call ahead). The library also has discount passes for The New Hampshire Farm Museum, The Wright Museum, and The Remick Museum. Each month, the Gafney features an art exhibit of pieces created by local artists for patrons to enjoy. Libraries are a great place for kids, too. On a rainy day, it’s the perfect place
All are welcome at the Gafney Library. (Courtesy photo) to spend some time with your kids, choosing new books and finding a place to sit and read together. When school lets out at the end of June, the summer reading program gets underway. Every year, there’s an interesting theme, with fun activities and crafts to go along with it. This year’s program is entitled “Build a Better World” and it will focus on a wide range of ways to make things a little brighter at home, in our communities, and even for the world at large. Gardening, fitness, nature study, biographies of people who have made positive impacts, “Do It Yourself” projects, and of course construction, are just some of the topics to be explored. For those who love to knit, or are T H E
Easy to miss... Hard to forget!
just learning how, the Gafney Knit Wits is a group that meets on Mondays from 10 am to noon to knit, crochet, and socialize. While much of the time members work on their own projects, the group has also extended itself to the community by working on many charity projects. These include making items for local charitable organizations, like baby blankets for young mothers, sweaters, chemo caps for cancer patients, helmet liners, shawls, hats, and even afghans to send to Afghanistan. The Knit Wits also take occasional field trips to yarn shops, or have picnics by the lake at members’ homes. It’s a very informal group, with no required commitment to attend all
of the meetings. The Gafney Library values education as well as community outreach. The library rents space at the Greater Wakefield Resource Center (GWRC) in Union on Route 125 at the railroad tracks to hold a literacy drop-in program every Wednesday from 3 to 7 pm. This Adult Learning Center also provides tutors who can help improve your math skills (like balancing your checkbook), improve your reading and writing skills, learn technology skills for your computer or even your smart phone, take a free college placement Accuplacer test, or update your resume and improve your interviewing skills with a career counselor. These tutors will also help anyone who needs to study for the High School Equivalency Certificate (HiSET) exam which tests math, reading, writing, science, and social studies knowledge. An assessment will determine your level of study, materials will be provided free of charge, and the tutors will help you progress to the point where a pretest will determine your readiness for the actual HiSET. The formal test takes place on the third Thursday of each month, and preregistration is required by 5 pm at the learning center the day before the test. The Gafney Library is located at 14 High Street in Sanbornville. The library is open from 1 pm to 7 pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, and from 9 am to 12:30 pm on Fridays and Saturdays. For library information, call 603-522-3401; for programs and career counseling questions, call 603986-1116; and for information about the HiSET exam, call 603-986-1117. Library details are also available at www.gafneylibrary.org. Your local library appreciates your patronage!

Women Soldiers of the American Civil War The Wright Museum will host the 9th lecture in its “Ron Goodgame and Donna Canney 2017 Educational Program Series” on Tuesday, June 20, from 7 to 8 pm at the Wright Museum, located at 77 Center Street, Wolfeboro, NH. The doors open at 6 pm. The program is titled “Women Soldiers of the American Civil War” and will be presented by Professor Sarah Batterson. Throughout history, women have participated in war efforts, not only at home but also on the battlefield as well. Women have always played important roles in army camps: from nursing, to laundry, food service, and, of course, prostitution. For a small but significant number of women, war not only brought them into battle, it motivated them to disguise themselves as men and take up the musket and sword. During the Civil War, it is estimated that more than 400 women concealed
their sex in order to fight. The Wright Museum lecture will focus on the adventures of some of the known women who risked their lives, asking what motivated these women and if they truly were ahead of their time. Professor Sarah Batterson holds a Ph.D. in History from the University of New Hampshire and a joint-M.A. in Anthropology and Women’s Studies. She currently teaches courses in African-American history and Gender history at UNH. An avid history enthusiast since the age of eight, in her spare time she can be found reading about the past or exploring historical sites around New England. Admission for the program is $8.00 per person. Wright Museum members are admitted for free. Space is limited, and reservations are strongly suggested to ensure sufficient seating for all. Call 603-569-1212 to reserve your seat today.

New Laws in Effect to Protect New Hampshire Water Bodies from Aquatic Invasive Species Infestations As the boating season is beginning in earnest, the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) reminds boaters of a new law that went into effect on January 1, 2017 to prevent additional aquatic invasive species infestations. Specifically, the law prohibits any transport of any aquatic plants on recreational gear and related trailers, and goes further to require that boats and other watercontaining devices be in the open drain position during transportation. Violators could face fines ranging from $50-$200. New Hampshire Marine Patrol, conservation officers and other peace officers are enforcing this law. Freshwater aquatic invasive plants and animals are those that are not naturally found in New Hampshire’s lakes, ponds, and rivers. Because they are not native, they have no predators or diseases, allowing them to grow quickly and dominate the freshwater systems and impact the native plants, fish, and aquatic insects already present. Aquatic invasive species can lead to reduced shorefront property values, water quality impairments, and problems with the aesthetic and recreational values of water bodies. According to Amy Smagula, the
NHDES Exotic Species Program Coordinator, “New Hampshire now has a total of 74 infested lakes and 11 infested rivers, most containing variable milfoil as the primary invasive plant, while others have fanwort, Eurasian water milfoil and water chestnut, among other common species. Dozens of water bodies also support the Chinese mystery snail, which is an aquatic invasive animal, and four water bodies support the Asian clam, also an aquatic invasive animal.” Lake hosts are present at many public access sites, and spend time educating boaters and performing critical courtesy boat inspections to check for invasive species tagalongs, but boaters are encouraged to do their own routine checks as well. Specifically, NHDES strongly encourages boaters to practice the “Clean, Drain, Dry” protocol, to ensure that their gear is free and clear of any potential invasive species or other contaminants: CLEAN off any plants, animals and algae found during your inspection and dispose of it away from a water body. DRAIN your boat; bait buckets, bilges and other equipment away from the water body, leaving your boat’s drain in the open position during
transport. DRY anything that comes into contact with the water. NHDES urges lake and river residents and visitors to routinely monitor for aquatic invasive species and report new infestations of anything suspicious early. Look for plants or animals that appear to be growing or
increasing in number quickly, and that do not appear to be part of the native aquatic community. For more information or to report a potential new infestation, please contact the Exotic Species Program Coordinator at Amy.Smagula@des.nh.gov or 603271-2248.
