VVaalllleeyy FFeeaattuurreeLorraine and Red Gallagher

harmonize in life and in their musicUpcoming performance at Salyards Center for the Arts

By Rachael BrownLorraine Gallagher was the

last entry in Red Gallagher’sLittle Black Book, but shebecame is his first wife.Gallagher likes to joke thatthe little black book was athree ring binder. Red evenwrote a song: “Little BlackBook.” Joke or no joke, theduo are serious about theirmusic, each other and the Mt.Washington Valley communi-ty. The Gallaghers will be per-forming at the SalyardsCenter for the Arts on Oct. 20at 7 p.m. to benefit theVaughan Community ServiceFood Pantry of NorthConway.

Gallagher talks about hermusical journey, and life withRed- the city musician- andherself- the country musician.

“We met at a book discus-sion group, The Wonderlandin Gorham. Red likes to jokethat at least he knew I couldread,” says Gallagher, whogrew up on a dairy farm inMilan and holds the title forthe last New HampshireDairy Princess. Red hails fromMinneapolis.

“Red is more gregarious, Iam more subdued,” she adds.

They share another differ-ence.

“This was Red’s first mar-riage (Gallagher has beenmarried before. We were mar-ried in our 50’s. I have threegrown children. We now havefive grandchildren. Red sayshe skipped the hard part,” shesays, grinning.

They share a home inConway and their love of theValley.

“Conway is perfect for us, aperfect combination, ruralbeauty and the great thingsthe valley has to offer,” shesays.

Red and Lorraine have beenperforming together for eightyears now, but at first he didn’tknow she played and sang,says Gallagher.

“After a few dates, I wantedto hear Eva Cassidy’s ‘Fields ofGold.’ He was amazed. Hesaid he wanted to play thatsong for me. I took out my

guitar — it was the first timehe knew I had a guitar — andasked, ‘Why do you have aguitar, do you play?’” she says.

“Not too long after this dis-covery, Red was to perform onSt. Patty’s Day at the Balsams,he had laryngitis and asked formy help,” she adds.

Gallagher filled in, and thetwo have been singing togeth-er ever since.

The two work in differentways, but together. Redspends most of his time enter-taining. He is a humorist, callshis original songs

‘Humortunes,’ plays multipleinstruments, sings and tellsjokes. Gallagher is employedfull time at New HampshireEmployment Security inConway covering the NorthCountry, but still manages tosing with Red, perform solo,be a member of the local DaCapo group, A Capella Gold-a spin off of that group, aCongregational ChurchBellringer and a Rotary Clubmember.

“I love music so much, Ican’t help but sing,” she says.

Gallagher is self-taught. She

grew up in a house filled withmusic.

“My father was FrenchCanadian, and played theaccordion. My grandfathersang, and was known for hisbeautiful voice,” she says.

PBS television made its wayto North Country viaUniversity of NewHampshire, and that’s how shelearned to play the guitar.

“When I was 12, I got myfirst guitar and learned to playby watching a six month serieson PBS,” she says.

Gallagher sang in choirs,

took music classes and voicelessons in college. She ran afamily insurance agency inGorham for years beforeworking at New HampshireEmployment Security, butmusic has always been in herlife.

“I perform what I like —jazz, folk, pop, Celtic, country,whatever moves me,” she says.

She performs for privatecocktail, dinner parties, inrestaurants, homes, for thesenior set, for young childrenand has even written her ownsong, “ Furry Friend,”inspired by their Shih-tzu. Shesays her music of all types isbeautiful interesting andupbeat.

“When Red and I work as aduo, I think we are especiallysuited to house concerts, wed-dings, birthday, anniversary,lots of celebrations, in part thejoy is seeing us together,” shesays. “We do a lot of workwith fundraisers.”

The upcoming fundraiserwill be on Oct. 20, 7 p.m. atthe Salyards Center to benefitthe Vaughan Food Pantry.Concert goers can expect alively performance ofAmerican pop, jazz and Red’shumorous songs. TheGallaghers rate the programPG-13. Gallagher says to lookfor a special appearance of heralter ego, Miss Lulu Lemieux-The Last New Hampshiredairy Princess.

This is the Gallaghers’ sec-ond year performing at theVaughn Center. The openingset will present artists Laurieand Ken Turley. Laurie is amusic teacher and Ken is theformer pastor of the FryeburgNew Church.

“We hope to be able to dothis every year. We ask for aten or five dollar donation, orbring some food. If you can’tafford that, please come any-way. No one will be turnedaway. Come have a goodtime,” she says.

Upper Saco Valley Land Trust announceslargest conservation project to date

DENMARK — Miles oftrails and woods roads, unpar-alleled scenery next to theSaco River, and 1,846 acres offloodplain forest and wildlifehabitat in Western Maine arenow protected for recreation,wildlife habitat, and sustain-able forestry, the Upper SacoValley Land Trust announcedlast week.

After more than four yearsof collaboration with Maine’sDepartment of InlandFisheries & Wildlife and TheNature Conservancy inMaine, the trust finalized itslargest land protection projectto date. Conservation ease-ments on several properties inFryeburg, Denmark andHiram comprise the project,which is located at the centerof nearly 10,000 acres of intacthabitat near the Maine-NewHampshire border.

One 415-acre property willbe owned by The NatureConservancy in Maine, andadded to the Conservancy’s347-acre Bull Ring Preserve insouthern Denmark, with aconservation easement held bythe Upper Saco Valley LandTrust. This preserve will con-tinue to be managed forwildlife habitat, public recre-ation, and benefits such asflood protection. The proper-ty includes mature silvermaple floodplain forest, wet-lands, and 11,000 feet offrontage along the pristineMoose Pond Brook.

“When you’re out at MoosePond Brook, the highway ismiles away, and all you canhear are the sounds of thecreek and the wildlife aroundyou,” said William Abbott,executive director for The

Upper Saco Valley LandTrust. “We are excited to beconserving some of thelargest, intact blocks of forestand wetland along the SacoRiver.”

The other two propertieswill remain in private owner-ship, subject to conservationeasements that prevent futuresubdivision and other types ofdevelopment. A conservationeasement is a contractbetween a private landownerand a land trust that restrictscertain uses on the land (suchas high-density development)while permitting compatibleuses, such as hunting, fishing,and forestry. Each conserva-tion easement is unique, tai-lored to the landowners’ wish-es, and designed to protect the

specific attributes of the prop-erty. The conservation ease-ments on these propertiesallows for continued sustain-able forestry in upland areas,while retaining a wild corridoralong the lower portions ofthe Saco River.

“These easements strike agood balance between work-ing lands and habitat protec-tion, allowing for sustainableforestry into the future,”Abbott said. “The NatureConservancy is to be com-mended for their far-sightedgoals, and initiating these con-servation projects in the firstplace.”

The Upper Saco ValleyLand Trust is now chargedwith ensuring that the termsof the easement are met, and

that all the properties stay pre-served – forever. Conservationeasements are an excellent wayto keep working land in pri-vate ownership and perma-nently prevent conversion toother uses, such as residentialdevelopment, said Will Brune,senior project director forThe Nature Conservancy inMaine, who worked closelywith the Upper Saco ValleyLand Trust on this project.

“Conserving land is a pow-erful way of leaving a perma-nent legacy that will long out-live us. It’s a benefit that willbe realized, enjoyed, and cele-brated by future generations,”Brune said. “Conservation isone of the most effective waysto leave a permanent positiveimpact on the face of theEarth for people and forwildlife.”

The newly conserved landsinclude:

• 2,833 feet of scenic,undeveloped frontage on theSaco River.

• 12,090 feet of streamfrontage along DragonMeadow Brook and MoosePond Brook in Denmark.

• 65 acres of wetlandsthat provide significant water-fowl nesting habitat, as well ashabitat for wading birds andnumerous rare plant and ani-mal species.

The Upper Saco ValleyLand Trust both owns landand holds conservation ease-ments on land owned by oth-ers. With the addition of thesethree new easements, theTrust now protects a total of7,242 acres across its 11-townservice area, which includeslands in both Maine and NewHampshire.

Fryeburg Area Rotary participates in “Crutches for Africa”FRYEBURG, Maine —

David Talbot, President of“Crutches for Africa,” spokelast week at Fryeburg AreaRotary Club’s regular break-fast meeting.

He spoke of the urgent needfor mobility devices likecrutches, canes, walkers,

wheelchairs and baby joggingstrollers. The Fryeburg AreaRotary Club is making this aproject for the club.

“We will receive the devicesfrom individuals, collectionsat schools, churches, firehouses, nursing homes, trans-fer stations, manufacturers

and any individual or businesswho cares to donate,” report-ed Rotary Club President JudyRaymond.

The devices will be loadedin a large container andshipped to a needed area inAfrica. If you have any mobil-ity devices you would like to

donate to this most worthyproject, please call CommitteeChairman, Bob Mallon at207-935-3031. The FryeburgArea Rotary Club meets week-ly on Tuesday mornings at7:30 a.m. at St. Elizabeth AnnSeton Church in Fryeburg.

EATON — The LittleWhite Church Third SundayHour will resume on Sunday,Oct. 21, at 5 p.m. Pianist andcomposer Dana Cunningham,the leader of the gathering inthis distinctive little church atthe edge of Crystal Lake,would like to welcome arearesidents and visitors alike,and to let people know a littlemore about the experiencethat awaits them.

Cunningham’s inspirationfor leading the hour of music,poetry, spoken word, andsilence arose from a growingawareness of a common inter-est – a desire to share this typeof space without attachmentto a particular creed or reli-gious tradition. Those whocome to the Little WhiteChurch Third Sundays arefrom varied faiths or have noparticular affiliation. Somefind this to be a greatenhancement to the churchservices they already attend.Many grew up going tochurch, but attendance is nolonger part of their lives.What is shared in common isan appreciation for the gift ofshared quiet in the midst ofhectic, stress-filled lives.

Cunningham says, “It is mystrong sense that as a cultureand as individuals, we long forspaciousness, both within andwithout, but we have oftenforgotten how to find it. If wehave any space at all, we try tofill it.”

Cunningham describes howher own search for inner still-

ness, stability, and sanctuaryhas led her to find great com-panionship and beauty in thecreative places of the arts,music, and nature. Her prac-tice of memorizing and recit-ing the work of both ancientand contemporary poetsinvites the listener to a kind ofexquisite attention.

She says, “The sages exposeour thirst for the simple andthe spare. As a professor fromNew York said to me once,‘these poems and this musicfeed something within me thatI didn’t even know I was miss-ing.’ The 14th Century Sufi,Hafiz, described a poet as ‘onewho can pour light into a cup,and then raise it to nourishyour beautiful, parched, holymouth.’ These evocativewords call us to our lost depthand summon us to experi-ence.”

The Little White ChurchThird Sunday Hour is not a

lightweight, new age, spiritu-al-as-opposed-to-secular, or areligious meeting. It is a com-ing together of people who areinterested in the powerfulwork that human beings arecapable of, who want to con-sider the difference betweengaining knowledge and what itmeans to become truly wise,and to explore the ways we canaffect meaningful change.Those who come appreciatethe subtle nature of compan-ionable quiet, music, singing,and poetry, and its impact forgood in all dimensions of life.

Cunningham says, “Theshared creation of spacebrings our attention to what isneeded most, to be fully pres-ent to ourselves and to eachother. I invite all to come andjoin us.”

The dates for the ThirdSunday Hour are Oct. 21,Nov. 18, and Dec. 16, all at 5p.m.

Details on DanaCunningham’s annual not-to-be-missed Christmas concertswill be released shortly. In themeantime, early informationis available at her website,www.danacunningham.com.

In the relatively short time that Friends of Mountain View has been organized,much has been accomplished. Slings have been purchased and installed in some patient rooms to aidthose with mobility problems. Tables have been purchased to replace those that have become worn overyears of use. The organization recently donated funds to the County so that in the future, a walking pathcould be created adjacent to the facility so that residents of the home and Carroll County could enjoy theoutdoors and beauty of the surroundings near the county farm. Joseph's Spaghetti Shed hosts a differ-ent Non-Profit group each Monday evening from 4:30 to 9 p.m. Pictured here are Henry and MaureenSpencer representing Friends of Mountain View at the Oct. 8 Dine-To-Donate.

REGION — Businessesthroughout Mt WashingtonValley reported a strong 2012fall foliage season in an infor-mal survey from the MtWashington Valley Chamber ofCommerce.

While the weather didn’tentirely cooperate overColumbus Day weekend,Mother Nature came through,with brilliant foliage welcom-ing leaf peepers from through-out the world. Generally, busi-nesses reported strong salesthroughout the week prior toColumbus Day weekend, withan increase in visitors fromCanada, the United Kingdomand Japan. When MtWashington Valley businessowners look back on last year asthe Valley was still cleaning upfrom the effects of TropicalStorm Irene, Columbus Day2012 is the model holidayweekend in comparison,according to many businessowners responding to the sur-vey.

The week prior to ColumbusDay is among the busiest of theyear for Mt Washington Valleyas the Fryeburg Fair drawscrowds and peak foliage attractsleaf peepers from around theworld. Mixed weather impact-ed fair goers this year, but Fairvendors commented thatrecord sales marked the sunnydays which made up for lowersales on rainy days.

Attractions weighed in on theMt Washington ValleyChamber of Commerce’s sur-vey with mixed reviews. Someattractions open only forColumbus Day weekend feltthat rain impacted traffic. YetCranmore Mountain Resortreported a modest increase insales, and Karen Tolin, ofMuddy Paw Sled Dog Kennel,told the chamber, “ThisColumbus Day weekendknocked the socks off of lastyear! Even with passing show-ers, our numbers of RollingDogsled Rides were up 35-per-cent from last season.”

Additionally, Jonathan Riversof Indian Mound Golf Clubshared they had a greatColumbus Day weekend, say-ing, “Other than some rain, wewere as busy as last year, andfood and beverage sales wereup over last year.”

Lodging properties weighedin commenting that near or at-full occupancy was the normfor the Fryeburg Fair week andColumbus Day weekend.

Ken Lydecker, co-owner ofthe Riverside Inn in Intervale,shared, “Overall for the season,

we're up about 10-percent inrooms rented over last year,(noting not as many hurricanesthis year). We were full fromSept. 28 to Oct. 14.”

Mary Ann Meyer of theMount Washington B&B inShelburne shared that lastminute reservations came instrong for Columbus Dayweekend and bookings were upabout 15-percent for the sec-ond half of September.

Tom Spaulding, GM at theHampton Inn and Suites,reported a slight increase inoccupancy for the ColumbusDay weekend which put occu-pancy at near-full, noting thatthey welcomed moreCanadians this year.

Steve Lambert, GM at RedJacket Mountain View and FoxRidge Resorts, concurred,reporting a 20-percent increasein business over last year for theColumbus Day Weekend. Heobserved an increase inJapanese and U.K. visitors thisyear.

When they weren’t outsideleaf-peeping, visitors wereshopping according to whatwas reported to the MtWashington Valley Chamber ofCommerce. Many of theretailers in North ConwayVillage attributed an increase insales to an increase in motor-coach and foot traffic this year.Timothy Psaledakis of Jewelryby Tim and Friends was surestrong sales from the weekendcould be attributed to morefoot traffic from motorcoachtours.

Deborah Jasien, owner andcrafter at the Fields ofAmbrosia in North ConwayVillage shared, “Our sales forFriday, Saturday & Sundaydoubled from last year. We wel-comed many returning cus-tomers from prior years whospent heavily and a lot of newcustomers from motorcoachtraffic.”

Jasien also shared that she feltpeople are finally spendingmore on themselves this yearinstead of small tokens forfriends and family; a sign of astrengthening economy.

Linda Schuepp of ThePenguin Gallery felt the NorthConway Village’s Pink Week,in conjunction with the MakingStrides for Breast Cancer pro-gram, helped to draw visitors tothe village.

“From Friday throughMonday, our sales were up awhopping 59-percent,” com-mented Schuepp.

“Our Friday sales were up135-percent from the previous

year,” she finished. Matt Fusco, owner of the

Rugged Mill, reported a 17-percent increase in sales over2011, attributing the increaseto more traffic from motor-coach tours and internationalvisitors. Fusco summed up thesentiment expressed by manywhen he commented, “I believethe aftermath of HurricaneIrene last year changed thetravel plans of many would-bevisitors and lasted all the waythrough October which had agreater negative impact on ourbusiness than I even realized.This year we are seeing theresults of what could have andshould have been last year if wehad a typical fall foliage sea-son.”

Outside North ConwayVillage, Lynne MacDonald ofLone Star Jewelers in Conway,concurred reporting an

increase in sales over last year.While new to the retail scene,Ivy Jordan of Water’s Edge inFryeburg, Maine reported thatsales far exceeded her expecta-tions noting many customersfrom Southern New Englandand Canada visited her artistgallery and store.

The chamber heard fromCorrine Rober at MargaritaGrill that Columbus DayWeekend was a record breakerfor the restaurant.

“We were up 18-percentover last year,” said Rober.

“The foliage season has beentremendous for us. Food saleswere up 35-percent over lastyear for the month ofSeptember,” said Rober.

She attributes the increasesthat the restaurant has main-tained all summer to the restau-rant’s new initiatives in Farm-to-Table cuisine.

While fall colors are at peakin the Northern reaches of theValley, spectacular color is stillyet to come throughoutOctober in the Southern partsof Mt Washington Valley.There’s still plenty of time forleaf peeping getaways in MtWashington Valley. The MtWashington Valley Chamber ofCommerce is keeping an up-to-date eye on lodging avail-ability, and recommends book-ing a reservation prior to com-ing to the Valley.

Fall Chores: Put away the kids’ bikes, get out their skisBy Sally McMurdo

The bike lies forgotten inthe yard, under a covering ofleaves. Soon, it will be coveredin snow and ice. Winter willcome and go, and on the firstwarm spring day, its ownerwill come looking for it to gofor a ride. But the tires will beflat, the chain rusted stiff, andthe brakes won’t work. Thebike is broken – there will beno ride. Only an expensiveoverhaul might restore it. Orit’ll be declared a hopeless caseof bicycle neglect and getdumped at the dump.

How can you and youryoung rider avoid this fate?Teach your children how totake care of their bikes so theylast. First, have them bringtheir bikes in before the coldand wet of winter. The bikesneed to “hibernate” in a dryplace. Find a covered place tostore bikes – a shed, a base-ment, or garage. If space is aproblem, you can hang upbikes from plastic coatedhooks (available from hard-ware stores) screwed into theceiling studs in your base-ment, garage, or attic.

Next, clean up the bike

before you store it. One win-ter, my daughter stored hersalt covered bike in a horsebarn. It almost melted downfrom corrosion. It took a lot ofwork to save it. Soon, a warmfall day, go outside with yourkids and their bikes. Showthem how to wipe the bikesdown with a wet rag and getall the dirt and grit off theframes, gears, and parts withSimple Green and old tooth-brushes. Sometimes, this is

easier to do if you turn thebikes upside down. Let themair-dry thoroughly beforeyour kids put them away.Bikes need to be put to bedclean and dry, just like kids.

The next step is to lubricatethe parts. Well-oiled chainsand cables are protected frommajor enemies of kids’ bikes,moisture and rust. With yourkids watching, spray cableends with Teflon basedaerosols like Tri-Flow or with

WD-40, which displaceswater and prevents corrosion.Clean the chain by holding itin a rag and turning the crankto make the chain movethrough the rag, wiping offdirt and grease as you go.Then lubricate the chain witha drop of nonoil product likeTri-flow on each link as youturn the crank. Wipe the chainagain with a clean rag toremove excess. Because prod-ucts like WD-40 and Tri-floware chemicals, it’s best for theadult to demonstrate their usewhile the kids observe.Cleaning and lubricating bikeswith your kids is a goodopportunity to teach thembike part names and how theywork. The more they knowabout their bikes, the moreinterested they will be in tak-ing care of them.

During the cleaning andlubrication, inspect the bikesto see if anything needs fixingbefore putting them away. It’smuch easier to do the repairsat the end of the season than atthe beginning of the next sea-son when everyone’s hot toride. Check the frame first fordamage – cracks, dings, andrust. Then, make sure the seat,handlebars, cranks and pedalsare on tight. Next, check thebrakes. Do they both work? Ifnot, your brakes need adjust-ment and possibly new pads.Inspect the wheels for brokenspokes. Have your child spinthe wheels and make sure theyare spinning straight. Next,

check the tires for cracks,holes, and wear marks. Afterall these basic inspections, fixwhat you can and take whatyou can’t to a local bike shop.There’s an advantage of doingthis at the end of the season -the shops are less busy and cangive your bike quick and fullattention.

The last step is to have yourkids fully inflate their tires.Why bother when riding sea-son is months away? If thebikes are stored standing onflat tires, the weight of thebike will press down causingthe tire to flatten out and thesidewall to dry and crack. Ifthe tires are fully inflated, thislessens the chance of tire dam-age during storage. If you areable to hang their bikes, that’seven better for the tires andgives you more space.

The last item to deal with isthe “other stuff” associatedwith your kids’ biking – thehelmets, water bottles, packs,etc. For ease of location, keepall the kids’ bike stuff withtheir bikes. Check the helmetsfor cracks and toss worn outor damaged helmets. You canget new ones in the spring.Hang usable helmets fromtheir handlebars or have aplastic tub nearby labeled,“Bike Stuff,” with their otherbike equipment in it. Bike bot-tles and CamelBaks can bestored there, too, after clean-ing with mild solution of vine-gar and water, followed byseveral rinsings, and thoroughdrying. Remember, the moreyou do in the fall, the less youhave to do in the spring.

Five steps to successful win-ter bike storage: 1) Cleanbikes, 2) Check wheels, tires,brakes, gears, and frame fordamage, 3) lubricate cablesand chains, 4) fix problems, 5)store bikes and equipment inas dry a space as possible.When spring comes, you andyour children will be ready toride!

After you put away thebikes, get out the kids’ skiequipment and check boots,skis, and poles for fit and con-dition. Then you’ll know whatto sell at the November skiswaps and what you need tobuy. Snow is coming soon –get ready.

It was a story almost toogood to be true. A helicopter,or something, was droppingwhat appeared to be millions,if not billions, of ladybugs onagricultural land inLemington, Vt., just acrossthe river from Columbia.

There it was, that nefariousold two-state rivalry thing —the nuances of NewHampshire’s North Countrypitted against the legendaryquirks of Vermont’sNortheast Kingdom.

The saga began with a mes-sage on my answeringmachine from longtime read-er Mona Shahan ofColebrook.

“Help me find my mind, Ithink I’ve lost it,” it said.

This is not your typicalanswering machine message,so I called her back.

“Someone apparently isdropping huge clouds of lady-bugs from a helicopter,” shesaid.

More accurately, or inaccu-rately, someone was appar-ently dropping ladybugsdown the Connecticut River abit, around a house inhabitedby a close friend of hers,Millie Colby.

“She just called me, andshe’s loaded with ladybugs,”said Mona. “She says thishappens every year.”

So my first step, of course,was to call Millie, one of along string of a family knownfor being fairly level-headed,especially about all thingsflora and fauna.

“What’s this business aboutladybugs?” I queried.

“Oh, I don’t know, it hap-pened again,” she said. “Ahelicopter, at least I think itwas a helicopter, came over,and now I’ve got all theseladybugs.”

These were not our nor-mal, native ladybugs, she has-tened to note. “They’rethose Asian ones,” she said,“all sticky and stinky.”

She was knocking them offwalls and counters and cur-tains, and sweeping them upby the dustpan full.

At this point, I was dealingwith Vermont, so my firstinstinct was to call old friend(and I do mean old) BrendanWhittaker, who lives inBrunswick and is, amongother things (he wears a col-lar) a former head of one ofVermont’s big environmentaland outdoor divisions(they’ve got lots, so I cannever remember which one).I was going to ask somethinglike “Hey Brendan, seen anyswarms of ladybugs aroundlately?” and then, “Who’s thebig insect guru in Vermont?”

I failed in this because Brenwas out pushing dirt aroundor something, and instead gothis wife Dorothy, who was(you guessed it) busily swat-ting never-ending ladybugs.She too was undergoing aninvasion, hastening to note,however, that they were for-eigners.

“Not like our decentVermont ladybugs, that seemto find places to winter out-side,” she said between swats.“These are those Asian ones,

the ones that just have tocome in.”

I thought I heard, as anafterthought there, the word“Yuck.” Followed, of course,with “Splat.”

Having failed to track downVermont’s insect guru, I wentto the next best source, AlanEaton, New Hampshire’sinsect guru (UNH), who hadalready been pretty busy withthe media that day fieldingcalls from the media aboutnot ladybugs but stink-bugs.This topic too involvedobnoxious foreign insects (theAsian ones actually stink),augmenting the native stink-bug population (they don’t).

“Hey Alan,” I said, onaccount of being on longtimeterms with him, “take offyour stink-bug hat and put onyour ladybug one.”

I’d last called him, I think,about Bruce spanworms, ormaybe it was the emerald ashborer, a topic perhaps boringto you and me but certainlynot boring to people whohave to move their heads highup into their ashes.

This reminded me that thefirst time I talked with Alan,he was beginning his UNHexalted position as Extensionagent in charge of insects, andI was beginning my owner-ship of the Coös CountyDemocrat. This was morethan 30 years ago, for both ofus. I’d discovered Bruce span-worm moths flutteringaround while hunting thehigh country between Hall’sStream and Indian Stream. Ialso remembered the head-line I wrote for the story wayback then, a two-column two-decker, lower right on pageone, “Guess who’s coming todinner? It’s an unwelcomeguest, Bruce span-worm.”

Alan and I, obviously, were

prone to wandering off intoesoteric asides, so I got backto business, and ran the heli-copter dropping billions ofladybugs thing by him, andhis first question was “Arethere any cornfields around?”Yup, I said, plenty, and in factmore than ever, becauseimported grain is so high andgetting higher, and we’veseen pieces planted to cornthis summer where beforethere was only marginal haymeadow, of the kind adornedeach spring with driftwood.

Alan’s second post-oralsomite, which in insect-speakis the second section from hishead, where his heart beats,was a heartbeat ahead on theladybug mystery, and wasalready thinking “aphids.”Lots of aphids live on corn-stalks and other broad-leafplants, such as lambs’ quar-ters (there are many others,but plant experts and ento-mologists always like to men-tion lambs’ quarters becauseit’s fun to say), and ladybugsregard aphids as the ultimateand unlimited insect preda-tor-prey buffet, and you don’tneed to heap your plate to thetipping-point, because youcan go back as many times asyou want. Sort of like LasVegas, in between playing thepoker tables and slots.

Ladybugs are ready to seekshelter from the winter atabout this time of year, andAlan’s theory is that any sortof low-flying aircraft canspook them into the air, bythe bazillions, a scenario inwhich any dwelling down-wind — say, an ancient familyfarmhouse under the name ofColby, is going to getabsolutely smacked, gobbed(hence the new and popularterm “gob-smacked”), shel-lacked (appropriate, if you

know about where shellaccomes from), inundated,swarmed, festooned, and oth-erwise utterly covered withladybugs.

“It doesn’t necessarily haveto be a helicopter,” he added.

I mentioned that varioussources were observing thatunlike native varieties, theseAsian bugs ooze a sickly yel-low when squashed, and infact, stink.

“Right,” Alan said, addingthat while he didn’t want tocome across as paranoidabout foreigners and in facthad undergone sensitivitytraining, ”They also bite.”

I also mentioned that I washaving a lot of fun with thisstory, and read him, in partic-ular, the paragraph about theash-leaf borers, adding that Iwasn’t done quite yet, andhoped to work more outra-geous and slightly off-colorpuns in, the name of the gamebeing to have fun while pos-ing as a serious writer. “Iguess it all depends on howmuch your editors will put upwith,” he said.

We have a lot of helicoptersflying around trying to figureout how to get Quebec’s sur-plus of hydro power down tothe teeming masses in Bostonand Hartford, I observed.Isn’t there a way we canblame this whole ladybugthing on Northern Pass?

“Go ahead, wing it,” Alanresponded, a true trouper.“Anything that flies.”

Just what is cholesterol?Cholesterol is a fat like sub-stance that circulates in theblood stream. The bodyneeds cholesterol, and is pro-duced for building cell mem-branes, sex hormones, and italso aids in digestion. Eightypercent of cholesterol is man-ufactured by the body, whileonly 20 percent comes fromthe diet.

One of the medical buzzwords for the past decade is“high cholesterol.” Your doc-tor tells you that your choles-terol is high, and you need tolower your numbers. He orshe will possibly suggest a pillsuch as Lipitor, or one of themany other statin drugs thereare to choose from. Statindrugs are used to lower cho-

lesterol, but statins can havesevere adverse effects to thebody. There are alternatives.

Did you know that there arenatural ways to lower yourcholesterol, without the sideeffects? Diet, is one of the firstways. Eating a healthy, andbalanced diet can help. Anutritionist can help you plana menu that will fit into yourlifestyle. Exercise also plays akey roll. You don't have to goout and buy a gym member-ship. Just be active. Be sure toask your doctor which exercisewould be helpful for you.

Adding herbs and herbalsupplements can also assist inlowering your cholesterol.Herbs are easy to add to yourdiet. They can be drank as atea, or just use them in every-day cooking. Anyway you takeherbs, you will benefit from

their medicinal properties. Idrank a tea to lower my cho-lesterol, and it was lowered byover 25 percent. I also fol-lowed a healthy diet andwalked up to three miles a day.

Turmeric (Curcuma longa)is great tasting spice fromIndia that improves the actionof the liver. It has powerfulantioxidant properties, and isused in many forms of herbalhealing. It can be added tosoups, or added as a spice tochicken or fish. You can alsotake turmeric in capsule form.

While Garlic (Alliumsativum) is originally fromAsia, it is now grown world-wide. Garlic lowers bloodpressure and is loaded withvitamins and minerals. It canbe used in everyday cooking.Fresh garlic is best, but it canbe used in powdered form. Be

sure not to use garlic salt.Garlic, like tumeric comes incapsule form. Garlic is plantedin the fall, so you can plantyours in the garden for nextyear.

Olive Leaf (Olea eruopaea)of course comes from thesame tree we get olives fordelicious olive oil. It growswild in the Mediterraneanregions. Olive leaf can be usedas a tea. Olive oil can also helpin lowering cholesterol whenused in cooking.

Rooibos (Aspalathus lin-earis) also known as Red BushTea is one of my personalfavorite teas. It is a shrubnative to South Africa, and isloaded with vitamins and min-erals. It makes a delicious teathat has been traditionallyused to sooth digestion, stom-ach cramps and colic. Besides

helping to lower cholesterol,Rooibos helps to control yourappetite.

Other herbs and supple-ments that can be beneficial inhelping to lower your choles-terol are Fenugreek, GreenTea, Red Yeast Rice, as well asVitamin C, Carnitine, andgrape seed extract.

This article is just a shortoverview, and is not meant totreat or to cure any illness.Even though herbs are natu-ral, they are still medicine.Please consult with yourhealth care provider.

Eagles falter in Windham,prep for Laconia

BY JOSHUA SPAULDINGSports Editor

WINDHAM — Right offthe bus on Saturday, it wasobvious to Kennett footballcoach Mike Holderman that itwould be a long day.

The Eagles proved theircoach right, as they struggledagainst a strong Windhamsquad and dropped a 51-0decision to the Jaguars.

“It was a long day,”Holderman said. “We just did-n’t play a good football game.

“When we got off the buswe were flat,” he continued.“And all the little things thatwe usually do well, we didn’tdo well.”

Holderman shouldered theblame for not getting the kidsup for the Jaguars quiteenough.

“We didn’t come ready togo off the bus and that’s onme,” he said. “But we’ll takecare of that and make sure itdoesn’t happen again.”

Though they had neverfaced the Jaguars before, theEagles had seen plenty of tapeand knew what to expect fromlast year’s Division V runners-up. Holderman said thecoaches put together a solidgame plan, but the executionjust wasn’t in place on thefield.

“We just weren’t making theplays we normally make, nevermind the plays you have tomake to beat an extraordinaryfootball team.”

With the Jaguars in therearview mirror, the Eaglesnow turn their attentiontoward Laconia with eyes on apossible winning season or apotential playoff berth.

“It’s definitely a game wewant to get, one we need toget if we want the chance toget to the playoffs,”Holderman said. “If we want awinning season, this week ishuge for us.”

The Sachems struggledearly in the year, but have hadmany players return to goodhealth and have been strongerthe last few weeks. Holdermanis well aware that any time yougo into Laconia, it’s going tobe a battle.

“It’s definitely a great placeto play some football,” he said.“It’s their senior night so youknow they’ll be ready to go.

“They’re going to come outand try to punch you in theface,” the Eagle coach added.“And their fans are a rowdybunch. It’s a unique place toplay.”

The Eagles and Sachemswill face off at 7 p.m. onFriday, Oct. 19, at LaconiaHigh School.

JOSHUA SPAULDINGNICK GRAZIANO and the Kennett Eagles will be at Laconia on Fridaynight.

Last-minute goals sink Eagles in Dover

JOSHUA SPAULDINGEMILY WATSON and her Kennett teammates earned a postseason berth and played after deadlineWednesday.

BY JOSHUA SPAULDINGSports Editor

DOVER — Everyone involved wasresolved to the fact that overtime was ahead.

However, the St. Thomas field hockeyteam decided that wasn’t what it wanted.

The Saints scored two goals in the finaltwo minutes of play to earn a 2-0 win overKennett in the final regular season game forboth teams on Friday, Oct. 12, in Dover.

“We played fabulous,” coach CJ Langsaid of her Eagles. “The girls really picked itup and off the bus they were pumped up andready to go.”

The Eagle coach was quick to point outthat everything the team had worked on inits practices the previous week was showingup on the field, as the Eagles workedtogether to get things moving.

“They were taking shots, following themto the net, they executed corners well, wejust couldn’t get it in,” she said.

The two teams battled back and forth theentire way, with neither team able to putanything on the scoreboard until the finaltwo minutes, when the Saints put the ball inthe net for the 1-0 lead.

That goal kind of hit the Eagles hard andthe Saints took advantage, scoring anotherless than a minute later to seal the win.

“I think the girls got a little down afterthe first goal and because of that little hesi-tation, they got their second goal,” Lang

said. “You could see, it was like a balloondeflating.”

The Eagle coach was quick to praise herteam for hanging right there with the num-ber two team in Division II for 58 minutes.

“They gave such a good fight,” Lang said.“And they look good heading to the play-offs.”

The Eagles finished the regular season at7-6-1 and managed to secure a home play-off game for the first round of the tourna-ment. The Eagles were facing off with theirrivals from Kingswood after deadline onWednesday.

“Our focus is on Wednesday,” Lang said.“It’s going to be a great game, it always iswith Kingswood.”

The Knights defeated the Eagles in over-time the last time the two teams played andthe two teams played to a 1-1 tie early in theseason.

“But if they play like they did against St.Thomas, we have a good fighting chance,”Lang said.

The Division II tournament continueswith the second round on Saturday, Oct. 20,at Lebanon at 2 p.m. The semifinals areWednesday, Oct. 24, at Bill Ball Stadium inExeter at 7 p.m.

TAMWORTH — As thedays grow shorter and thatdark, constricted feeling ofimpending winter clutches atyour heart, do you feel theurge to break out, to engagein some mad act of wild cre-ativity, to throw yourself tothe gods of art with literaryabandon, to do something,anything, to take your mindoff all the wood you shouldalready have stacked? Do youfeel like…writing a novel?

You’re in luck. NationalNovel Writing Month(NaNoWriMo), the world’slargest

literary event and nonprof-it literary crusade, is comingnot just to New Hampshire,as it does every November,but to the Cook MemorialLibrary in Tamworth. OnSaturday, Oct. 27, at 2 p.m.,the library will host aNaNoWriMo informationalsession.

What is NaNoWriMo?Each November, writers allover the world, writing inmyriad languages, pledge towrite 50,000 words duringthe month of November.They write the opening sen-tence of their novel on orafter Nov. 1, and they—lotsof them, anyway—cross thefinish line and verify theirword count by Nov. 30.There are no judges—justthe satisfaction of an extraor-dinary accomplishment.

“NaNoWriMo is the writ-ing world’s version of amarathon,” says GrantFaulkner, executive directorof National Novel WritingMonth. “Writers exit themonth with more than anovel; they’ve experienced atransformative creative jour-ney.”

Since its tiny beginnings in1999, when founder/heroChris Baty and a group of

TGIF Book Group to discuss Ann Patchett’s

“State of Wonder”NORTH CONWAY —

This is an open group.Everyone is welcome, whetheror not you are a library mem-ber.

In “State of Wonder,” phar-maceutical researcher Dr.Marina Singh sets off into theAmazon jungle to find theremains and effects of a col-league who recently diedunder mysterious circum-stances.

But first, she must locate herformer mentor, Dr. AnneckSwenson, a renowned gyne-cologist who has spent yearslooking at the reproductivehabits of a local tribe wherewomen can conceive well intotheir middle ages and beyond.Eccentric and notoriouslytough, Dr. Swenson is paid tofind the key to this longstand-ing childbearing ability.

What Marina finds in thesweltering, insect-infestedjungles of the Amazon shakesher to her core. Marina’sodyssey into the unforgivingheart of darkness includesexotic encounters with canni-bals and snakes, a knotty ethi-cal dilemma about the basictenets of scientific research,and details the struggle andsacrifice of dedicated scien-tists, making State of Wondera multi-layered atmosphericnovel that is hard to put down.

Page 26 | The Mountain Ear | Thursday, October 18, 2012

By Peter Minnich The original plan was to park

in Tamworth Village, ride overCleveland Hill Road to DurginBridge, then south pastBearcamp Pond to theSandwich Fair. The weather lastMonday proved perfect for a fallride – cool, partly sunny, withjust a hint of wind to stir theleaves. But we got a late startand arrived in Tamworth about11 o’clock, so we modified ourplan a bit and drove to the fairfirst, so we could enjoy middayon the midway, then ride later inthe afternoon.

We ate some fair food, lis-tened to the live doo-wop music,indulged in a little people watch-ing, then headed back to theparking lot off Route 113 toswitch from country fair casualinto our cycling clothes. Westarted riding from Sandwich attwo o’clock. We could easilyhave kept going north on 113Ato ride the classic WonalancetLoop, but we knew the fair traf-fic would compromise the peaceof the narrow paved road. Ourplan was to ride the dirt roads, ofwhich there is a veritable mazebetween Tamworth andSandwich.

Over the years, we’ve tried outa few of these roads, usually asshortcuts back to the car, butknew there were many moremiles of tempting routes. Thistime, we intended to piecetogether a loop on the dirt roads,avoiding the pavement as muchas possible. It took some pre-ride planning and finding a mapwe could conveniently carry.The map required a bit of cre-ativity: the AMC Map 3:Crawford Notch-SandwichRange shows the roads but notthe road names. So, I made a

copy of the relevant section ofthe AMC map, and penned inthe road names usingDeLorme’s NH Gazetteer asthe source, aware that we wouldencounter some misinforma-tion.

I’ve learned and accepted overthe years that you can never relyon any given map for completeaccuracy; it’s the nature of thebeast. That doesn’t mean to sayyou should go without a map. Itdoes mean you have to expectdiscrepancies and be ready topunt. My advice is not to try aride in this area without somesort of map in hand. There aretoo many look-a-like roads andmysterious junctions and turnsto try to navigate blind. Byrough measure, there are 40 – 50miles of dirt roads in the

Tamworth- Sandwich area. With map in hand, we turned

off Route 113 at the sharp cor-ner by Top of the World Road.We rode straight ahead onMiddle Road, a gently rollinglane which crosses the BearcampRiver, then skirts along thenorth edge of the swamp thatsurrounds Bearcamp Pond. Theafternoon sun illuminated thefoliage across the swamp andonto the northern flanks of theOssipee Mountains to the south.At the junction with BearcampPond Road, we turned right androde a short distance past the oldstone mill dam that creates thepond to the beach access on theright, where there’s a fine viewwest across the pond toward themountains surroundingSandwich Notch.

We then turned north onBearcamp Pond Road and rodeto Route 113 (a.k.a. Beebe FlatsRoad). We rode 113 east a mileto Pine Hill Road on the left.Pine Hill Road climbs up to joinCleveland Hill Road near WhiteGate Farm, whose open fieldsoffer fines views to the south andwest. The foliage on Red Hillwas in full peak color. We fol-lowed the ridge north past thefork with Meader Road anddescended on Bridgeview Roadto the Durgin Covered Bridge.Crossing the bridge brought usto the T-junction with Foss Flatsand Fellows Road.

We considered riding FellowsRoad west to 113A, then on tothe dirt roads of NorthSandwich – Wing Road, Mt.Israel Road, Diamond Ledge

Road - but the daylight hadbegun to wane, so we headedsouth on Foss Flats Road,crossed to Bearcamp Pond Roadand back to Middle Road. Atthe west end of Middle Road, weturned sharp left and rode southover Top of the World Roadwhich brought us to Little PondRoad in a couple of miles. Aright turn took us past the GreatWall of Sandwich with therecently restored statue ofNiobe standing stark whiteagainst the evening sky.

As we descended fromWentworth Hill back to CenterSandwich, the fair was justbreaking up. The last hints offair food drifted on the breeze,and the last straggling patronstrudged along the roadside. Wereturned to our van parked inthe field, alone now in thepeaceful quiet of autumn dusk.At 5:30, the sun was downbehind the hills, and the eveningchill was settling in. Wechanged to dry clothes andpulled on fleece to warm ourlimbs.

Driving back toward Conwayon Route 16, we passed a steadyline of tourists headed south atthe end their Columbus Dayfrolics. We headed north to themountains, where the snow hadalready begun to coat the highpeaks. Cycling season is wind-ing down, but it’s not over.Some of the best riding comeson the short, cool days after theleaves have fallen, and you cansee what lies beyond the trees.Get out your hats, gloves, andlong sleeves. The dirt roads ofTamworth-Sandwich awaitmore exploration. Get out thereand try those back roads beforeit’s too late.

THE DIRTROADS TO THE FAIR

THE DIRTROADS TO THE FAIR

By Pru SmithIt’s here again, that time of

year when daylight is waning,leaves are dropping, tempera-tures are falling, leagues andweekly competitions are at anend, and final rounds are beingplayed…with some of them in“challenging” weather, to put itmildly. That was the case at theNCCC last Wednesday, whichhad been designated as the dayfor the employee tournamentand pizza party. If you recall,showers turned to downpoursjust about in time for the hardyand loyal employees to tee itup! Tee it up they did, andplayed their allotted nine holes,regardless of conditions.Soaked but triumphant, theyreturned to the clubhouse,warming themselves with vari-ous libations, pizza and cake.The highlight of the eveningwas the celebration of long-time pro shop employee SkipPerley, whose 80th birthdaywas recognized with a cakecomplete with the requisite 80candles ( it was a large cake!).The presentation of said cakewas made with an “honorguard” of two of his fellowemployees armed with a smallfire extinguisher should a con-flagration occur when blowingout the many candles! HappyBirthday to Skip, and safe trav-el as he heads to his winterhideaway in Florida.

The NCCC membersenjoyed far better conditionswhen they played their end ofseason tournament on Saturdayfollowed by dinner and awardspresentation for all tourna-ments played over the season.Unfortunately, results fromSaturday’s tournament havedisappeared, so will remain amystery to the general public!

GB Carrier Team Wins overthe Nappy Gilmores

It took a playoff to finish theDon Ho season at the Eagle,

but when the final putt wassunk, it was the GB Carrierteam of Buddy and GreysonCarrier, Bob Dutton, PaulHarlow, Cory LeBeouf andRyan Burke taking the title bydefeating the Nappy Gilmores-Dave Emmett, Dick Nelson,Joe Webb, Sean Ward, KarlBissonette and Steve Norton.

Another final season tourna-ment was played at the Eagleon Saturday, as the last memberscramble 2012 was won byteam Dennis Lavoie, TonyDeLuca, Mary McLaughlinand Deanna Giroux. Placingsecond was team PaulaDoucette, Delores Lavoie,Susan Oleson and Judy

LaBonte.Make a note...Oct. 28 will be

the final day of the season at theEagle, and they will be offering$10 green fees which will bedonated to the MWV Kiwanassponsored Angels and Elves. Agreat way to finish the seasonand make a contribution thatwill brighten some child’sChristmas.

Chip ShotsWishing good weather and

good times to the folks who willbe playing the season-endCross Country challenge atWentworth next Sunday. It’salways interesting when theunsuspecting passing motorist

sees a line-up of golfers, clubsin hand, preparing to hit theirball across the highway!

From my current vantagepoint (Tuesday a.m.), it lookslike fine weather for the

George Waddell Tournament,which will have taken place onWednesday, with teams playingnine holes at Hale’s, nine at theNCCC and nine atWentworth. Wonder if any ofyou handicappers chose thewinning line-up!?

And so, as always, it seemstoo soon, but summer is over,the leaf rule is in effect, andpeople are either making travelplans or thinking about theslopes. Most courses will becalling it a season by the end ofOctober, but you can almostcount on Indian Mound to beopen for later play and check,also, with the NCCC for a pos-sibly slightly extended season.If your winter plans includetrips down a mountain, stayupright! If you plan on a south-ern winter, safe travel...keepLee Trevino’s quote in mind...“Columbus went around theworld in 1492. That isn’t a lotof strokes when you considerthe course.” My best wishesearly for a happy, healthy andsafe winter and holiday season.Remember to check here inearly December for the “OnSnow Golf” column which willgive you ideas where to getyour favorite golfer aChristmas gift and find outwhere those pro shop folks yousee almost daily in the summerwill be spending their winter. Ifyou have special off seasongolfing plans, let me know hereat beachbumpru@yahoo.com.

A simple click is all it takes to give a child molester

internet access to your children – access that can

actually lead to abduction. Reports of such

incidents are everywhere as predators keep

getting better at seeking out new victims. The

good news is that we keep getting better at

fighting back. At the National Center for Missing

& Exploited Children, we have created the

CyberTipline in partnership with the FBI, U.S.

Customs Service, Postal Inspection Service and

Secret Service. To report child sexual exploitation,

call the police. Then call us at 1-800-843-5678

or contact us at www.cybertipline.com. We work

with law enforcement professionals who are

ready to track down these criminals and bring

them to justice. So do your part to help. Look out

for your children online. If you don’t, there are

plenty of predators who will.

Peak Wind gust was on October 11th from the W at 88 mphLow of 7 degrees on October 13th

is new daily record low

By Steve LancianiSummit Intern

The week beganwith stormy con-ditions due to anupper level lowpressure system

stationed to our northwest. Abroad trough dug far into thecentral and eastern U.S., drag-ging cold air down fromCanada, and westerly flowprovided ample cold air advec-tion. Decent levels of mois-ture paired with these coldconditions provided the sum-mit with our first significantsnowfall of the season. A totalof about four inches was meas-ured through Monday. Asmall ridge of high pressuremoved in from the southwestMonday evening, brieflyclearing out skies, before aweak warm front movedthrough and put us back in thefog. A wind shift to the south-east drew in warmer air and aconsiderable amount of mois-ture, which fell mostly as rainon Wednesday, until anothertrough of low pressure duginto our area. This changedrain to snow as the coldest airmass of the season so farmoved in behind a pro-nounced cold front. Total liq-uid equivalent was just abovesix tenths of an inch. Windsincreased due to the pressuregradient and brought strongwesterly flow, dropping tem-peratures sharply and givingus our peak wind gust for theweek of 88 mph.Temperatures were in a freefall on Friday, starting in themid-20’s and falling into thesingle digits. A small distur-bance moved in from the Weston Friday and provided aboutthree inches of snowfall.Saturday marked the begin-ning of the end in terms of thecold spell, as a ridge of highpressure approached from thesouthwest, but not before weset a record low temperaturefor Oct. 13 of seven degrees,breaking our previous dailyrecord low of eight degrees

(1936, 1993). ThoughSaturday remained primarilydry, light snow began to fallSaturday night ahead of ournext weather maker thatwarmed temperatures andchanged snow to rain with apassing warm front.

“Change” is the word of theweek, as we have seen justabout all possible conditions.The average temperature forthis time of year is about 31degrees Fahrenheit. We were20 degrees below this mark,and set a daily record low tem-perature for Oct. 13 of sevendegrees, then warmed up toabout 15 degrees above nor-mal the very next day. Snowon the summit early in theweek melted as we saw overhalf an inch of rain, then itblanketed the "Rock-pile" inwhite again as temperaturesfell. Now as this is written,there remains only a small,Frisbee-sized patch of snowunder a rock and temperaturesare back in the mid-40’s. Youknow what they say though,“Variety is the spice of life.”
