Capturing the Light: The Art of Jeremy Noyes

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper

When his daughter was born 13 years ago, Jeremy Noyes wanted to document her life. To do so, he picked up his Canon Rebel camera and took photos of his baby daughter.

When his second child came along a few years later, Noyes continued photographing his children.

The photography bug had hit Noyes. He had the eye of a professional as he continued to take photos. He was living with his wife and children in California at the time but he was originally from New England (Bellows Falls, Vermont, to be exact).

Eventually, Noyes and his wife decided to move back to New England and settled in New Hampshire. Before they got settled, the Noyes family lived with relatives for a while. As with many young couples, they decided, after some time, to relocate. They wanted to give California another try and moved back.

Noyes had a videographer friend who invited him to take a cross-country trip to California. His friend’s goal was to document the journey via video; Noyes would take photos along their travel to use in the film’s footage.

“He showed me how to use my camera and its various functions,” Noyes recalls. “He said I had a good eye for a guy just doing photography as a hobby.”

At that point, Noyes was digging deep into photography and was hungry to learn more. “I spent thousands

of hours on YouTube learning how to use my camera, how to edit images, and what light could do when taking photos,” he explains.

Photography became an obsession for Noyes, and it changed the direction of his life. Formerly a skilled electrician, he eventually decided to make his hobby a profession. It was a bold move. Noyes and his wife stayed in California for about eight years before eventually returning to New Hampshire.

A friend told him of a rental space available in Meredith where Noyes could open a photography shop. Knowing Meredith was a bustling town with plenty of vacationers, especially in the summer, Noyes made the move. He

Make A Splash!

says, “I opened Jeremy Noyes Gallery, in January of this year (2023). I was busy right away.”

Noyes serves his customers and is open and friendly with those who browse his gallery, located at 23 Main Street, Unit 3, in downtown Meredith. The gallery is bright, airy, and a perfect spot to showcase Noyes’ photos. Each image is colorful, and nearly all are landscapes taken throughout New England and far beyond.

Before opening his gallery, Noyes spent his first three years back in New Hampshire building a portfolio of Lakes Region photographs. Knowing he needed to gain exposure for his work, he did many art fairs to great

success. He also joined the Lakes Region Art Association and displayed his work at the Association’s gallery.

The Noyes’ photographs are breathtaking in their beauty, from a peaceful wooded path lined with tall birch trees to a dramatic ocean crashing over jagged rocks on a shoreline with the sun rising over the cliffs to scenes of Lakes Region areas.

Noyes says he is willing to go out to photograph at about 3:30 a.m., to get a shot of the sunrise. “I try to plan my trips a year ahead, always keeping in mind the sun and how it affects my shots. Sometimes I bring my family, and sometimes, depending on everyone’s schedules, I go alone. I often camp out along the way. My preference is sunrise shots. Often, no one is there, so no one is in the way of my shots.”

He adds that it is always a challenge to find a spot that is accessible but not on private land. “I am a water guy, and 95 percent of my shots are of the water.”

A true professional photographer/artist, Noyes constantly watches the light wherever he might go. “I do a lot of research, such as where the sun lines up on the landscape and the time of year. I take notes on my phone,” he explains. Noyes calls himself a light chaser, always looking for the next image he might capture if he gets the light just right.

In his shop, photographs are displayed and printed on either metal or canvas. Each method produces images of stunning beauty, with muted or vivid colors as the subject dictates.

Customers drop in to browse the vast array of work by Noyes or call to place an order. His work reflects scenes of the Lakes Region in all its glory, from the still softness of winter in a blanket of snow to a sunrise or sunset over Winnipesaukee or another area lake.

Noyes has a book of national parks, and he was drawn to Acadia National Park on the Maine seacoast, where he captured his all-time favorite photo of a lighthouse with a sunrise. He arrived at the spot three hours before the sun came up to be there for the once-in-a-

lifetime photograph. It now hangs in his gallery, radiating dramatic beauty.

“My customers love scenes of the lakes, and birch trees and lupines,” Noyes says. He tries to give them what they most want, but always within the

constraints of what he sees in an artistic manner. During his off-season, he occasionally does wedding photography as time allows.

Along with his Meredith gallery shop, Noyes has an extensive website and an online gallery. It has many visitors and buyers who respond positively to the scenes Noyes captures with his Sony camera.

Noyes also has some of his photo-

graphs in other locations, such as the Winnipesaukee Trading Company in Alton; the Gilford Country Store in Gilford; the Makers space in Wolfeboro and at the Mall of New Hampshire; the White Birch Gift Shop and the Sandwich and Meredith League of New Hampshire shops.

In the future, Noyes says he would like to put down permanent roots for his family and buy a house in the area, and of course, run his gallery in Meredith. “I want to stay here and continue to do photography,” he concludes.

What began as a simple, endearing project documenting the early years of his daughter’s life has become a passion and a career for Jeremy Noyes. Take a look at his work, visit his gallery or website, and you will immediately be drawn into his world of colors, light and places we might never think to look.

Rail Trail Club Hosting Open House

Come experience “riding the rails” first-hand as the members of the Cotton Valley Rail Trail Club will be providing rides to the public during an open house on Saturday, August 19th between 10 am to 2 pm. There will be antique gas and diesel-powered motorcars ready to take you out on the rails. You will see several different kinds of rail motorcars, including some cars from the 1930s & 1940s, and one with a vintage gang trailer. These rail motorcars, once used by the railroad for work, are now used for recreation on the Cotton Valley Rail Trail.

The Cotton Valley Rail Trail Club of Wolfeboro, NH invites the public to our open house at Fernald Station, 64 Gover-

nor Wentworth Highway in Wolfeboro. The event is designed to give the public an opportunity to meet with members to discover more about CVRTC, railroad preservation and the railroad motorcar hobby. Visitors will be able to tour the restored former Wolfeboro Railroad engine house, train station, and working railroad maintenance of way equipment. Free rides will be provided in member owned railroad motorcars on a section of the former Wolfeboro Railroad. CVRTC, a non-profit organization founded in 1992, currently maintains the 11-mile line, which is currently designated as a “rail with trail corridor” where railcar hobbyists, runners, bikers, and snowmobilers can equally enjoy

Geneva Point to Offer HurdyGurdy Workshop and Retreat

Have you ever heard of a hurdygurdy? Perhaps from the song by Donovan?

You may know it by one of its many other names — vielle a roue, zanfona, or organistrum — as there is a version of this medieval instrument in just about every European country.

The instrument has been making a popular comeback with its unique sound now heard in popular film scores, rock bands, folk music, and within its traditional medieval dance music heritage.

Geneva Point Center in Moultonborough is part of a local effort to bring more interest and education about the instrument in the United States through a first-ever workshop and retreat on Aug. 20 - 24. It is geared to everyone from the beginner to the most advanced player.

Those who are interested in learning

but do not have their own instruments will be able to rent one of the three that will be available.

Leading the majority of the workshops will be Sergio González, a hurdy-gurdy player and teacher from Barcelona, Spain, and Alison Gowan, a Quebec-based hurdy-gurdy player and vocalist. Noelle Beaudin, a hurdy-gurdy player and composer from Sandwich, also will be teaching at the workshop. Together, she and Max Enloe, a player and instrument technical expert from Dallas, Texas, have created the workshop program and have started what they hope will be the first of many educational outreach efforts for this instrument in the Northeast.

For more information about the workshop and retreat, visit www.GurdyWorld.com, email: info@gurdyworld. com, or call 603-677-6537.

access to the stunning scenery of the Lakes Region.

The Cotton Valley Rail Trail Club, Inc. began in the summer of 1992 when a group of New England rail car owners joined with a group of local railroad enthusiasts in Wolfeboro, NH. Together they obtained permission from the State of New Hampshire to operate rail cars and to maintain the former Wolfeboro Railroad including structures. The refurbished former Fernald Station is now used as the Club’s meeting place.

This collection of railway motor car enthusiasts and volunteers have joined together to preserve railroad property and equipment relating to the use of railway motorcars and have kept alive

the skills and experiences of the railroad workers who once used these vehicles in maintaining railroad lines around the world.

CVRTC currently maintains 17 miles of rail owned by the State of New Hampshire. The two rail-lines are the Wolfeboro-Sanbornville, NH branch line, no longer used by the railroad and known as the Cotton Valley Trail, and a portion of the Ossipee Branch between Rt. 28 and Rt.16.

Light refreshments including drinks, water and hot dogs will be available. We usually have CVRTC apparel for sale throughout the event. CVRTC is a not-for-profit organization. Donations are graciously accepted.

August Needlefelting Classes at Center Sandwich Gallery

‘Cue The Grill

Cooking in Foil Packets

By Kelly Ross

Today’s theme for the day is one of my favorites when it comes to convenience plus still very delicious. This works great for camping, and for backyard parties where all the prep can be done in advance so you can socialize, plus clean-up is almost non-existent. Cooking in foil packets is a great way to cook. So, to not be overly repetitious today, a couple of things should be kept in mind for all these recipes. Ideally,

use heavy duty foil, and I usually double wrap all of them. When making 4 packages, I use 8 sheets of foil, about 18 x 12 in size. Spray the inside of the 4 foil sheets so the product will go on top of the pan release to keep things from sticking. Make sure they are completely sealed when folding them to keep all steam within to assure an even cooking process, then double wrap with the other 4 sheets. If there are any holes or tears, wrap again with another sheet.

Foil packets, if preferred, can be prepped a day in advance if you want to make life easier for any reason but will obviously be great if you prep and cook right then and there. There is no need to dirty any plates as I serve the packets on paper plates for everyone to dig into. Lastly, make sure when opening the foil once cooked, to be careful as escaping steam can leave a bad burn if not aware. If rain dashes your grilling hopes, these can be done in the oven, but they will take a little longer to cook. All that being said, let’s do this.

I’m starting with a great side dish to accompany many main dish recipes if you feel the desire. I will admit, one of my favorite foil packs out there are potatoes with peppers/ onions and spices, but since I think most all of us have mastered that recipe, I’m going to share one a little more off the board, but so awesome. If you want a potato foil recipe, email the address at the end of this article and I’ll get it to you. This one is for fresh green beans and bell peppers in a concoction of balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, maple syrup and pine nuts. These are wicked good my friends. This will be good for 4 packets. Prep time is 20 minutes, as is cook time. This will go with any entrée, whether the main dish is cooked in foil or not, or on the grill. Roasted Balsamic Green Beans & Peppers

2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

2 tsp Dijon mustard

2 tsp pure maple syrup

2 cloves garlic, minced

½ tsp salt

12 oz fresh green beans

2 red and/or yellow bell peppers, thinly sliced lengthwise

⅓ cup toasted pine nuts

2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Mix oil, mustard, syrup, garlic and salt in a large bowl. Add beans and peppers and toss. Place ¼ of the vegetable mixture on each of 4 sheets of foil. Sprinkle with pine nuts. Fold the packets to cover the ingredients, then double-wrap. Starting at the top, seal the packet by folding the edges over one another to seal. Grill over a preheated medium to medium-high heated grill for 10-12 minutes, rotating the packets to another spot on the grill about halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Let’s get into some main dishes. First off is an all-inclusive meal so you may not use the bean foil packs for this one as this one has chicken, rice, carrots and broccoli in an outstanding sauce of honey, soy, ginger and garlic among a couple other great flavors. This one again can be prepped in 20 minutes and cooked in 20 and feeds 4.

Foil Pack Honey Garlic Chicken

1 cup minute rice

1 ½ cups water

1 ½ lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, usually 3 large breasts, 6 oz per packet

Salt and pepper

2 tbsp flour

¾ cups baby carrots

1 ½ large red bell pepper, cut into small strips

1 stalk broccoli, cut into small florets For The Sauce

• ‘Cue the Grill continued from page 10

¼ cup soy sauce

¼ cup honey

1 tsp minced garlic

3 tbsp fresh squeezed lime juice

1 tsp sriracha

¼ tsp ground ginger

1 tbsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water

Finely chopped cilantro for garnish

Set out 4 large sheets of foil. Fold up sides to create sides to hold the juices. In a bowl mix the minute rice and water. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes. Pound the breast to an even thinness for all and divide into 4 equal portions of 6 oz each, ideally cutting into 4 equal pieces, but depending on the size of the chicken breasts, there’s a chance 1-2 portions may have to be 2 pieces. Thinly slice the red bell pepper, halve or quarter the baby carrots into small and thin pieces, cut the broccoli into small florets. Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides and then dredge in flour which helps keep it from drying out. Add a pinch more of salt and pepper on top. Divide the rice and any liquid evenly between the packets. Place the chicken breasts on top of the rice. Add the veggies equally to both sides of the chicken and rice. In a small bowl, whisk together all the sauce ingredients except for the cornstarch/water. In another bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth. Add to the sauce and whisk until smooth. Drizzle evenly over the chicken pieces in the foil packets. Fold

up and seal completely. Double wrap the packets. Preheat the grill to high and grill for 15-25 minutes depending on the thickness of the chicken and how efficient your grill runs. 2o minutes is usually just about right. Do not flip the packets while cooking and make sure the rice side of the packet is down. Remove the foil packets from grill or oven and open carefully allowing for the steam to escape. Season with more salt and pepper if desired and enjoy immediately. If desired garnish with cilantro.

Let’s move to a Hawaiian chicken theme. Chicken, pineapple, and a doctored BBQ sauce is the mentality for this one. This bad boy is amazingly tangy, as well as sweet and is accompanied by bell peppers and sliced zucchini for an outstanding din din. Prep and cooking times are similar to the last and again feeds 4.

Grilled Hawaiian BBQ Chicken

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, ideally 6 oz each

1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce

1 can sliced pineapple, 15 oz

2 tsp soy sauce

1 tsp minced garlic

2 red bell peppers, cut into 1-inch squares

2 medium zucchinis, cut into ½ inch coins

Chopped scallions for garnish

Heat grill to medium heat. Place chicken on the center of aluminum foil and divide the veggies around the chicken and add 2-3 pineapple slices into each packet. In a bowl, whisk to-

gether BBQ sauce, juice from the can of pineapple slices, soy sauce, and garlic. Spread about 2 tbsp of the sauce on the chicken and make sure to reserve about ¼ cup. Wrap tightly and double wrap. Place chicken packets onto your preheated medium-high grill and cook for 13-15 minutes flipping at about 7 minutes. To serve, baste with reserved sauce, and garnish with green onions.

Aloha!

For one more chicken foil package, let’s move to the southwest for a chicken fajita recipe. There is no mystery as to what is in a fajita as I’m guessing everyone out there has eaten at least one in their lifetime. Chicken, peppers, and onions with all the usual spices make this as good as you have ever had. Bust out some flour tortillas with all the usual accoutrements and you’ll be digging life for sure. You can have these prepped and cooked in 30-

40 minutes and this feeds 4.

Chicken Fajita Packets

1 ½ lbs skinless boneless chicken breasts, cut into ½ - ¾ inch thick strips

2 large bell peppers, ideally red or orange, cut into thin strips

1 green bell pepper, cut into thin strips

½ large red onion, thinly sliced

2 tbsp oil

2 tsp chili powder

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp ground cumin

¾ tsp salt

¼ tsp black pepper

½ tsp onion powder

¼ tsp paprika

Tortillas, salsa, sour cream, shredded cheese, and guacamole as wanted/ needed

Preheat the grill to medium-high. Combine all spices in a bowl so they are completely mixed. Put the chicken strips and veggies in a large bowl. Put the oil into the chicken/veg mix and toss to coat. Sprinkle the spice mixture into the chicken/veg and again combine well so they are all well coated. Spoon ¼ of the fajita mixture in the center of 4 sheets of foil. Fold and seal the tin foil and place over direct heat on the grill. Cook for 12-15 minutes for even cooking, rotate once halfway through until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Serve with lightly grilled tortillas and toppings as desired. For a last dinner theme, here’s a shrimp and sausage combo for you

with a Cajun flavor to it and chock full of veggies. Like most of these today, this goes together very quickly. This will take care of 4 of you.

Cajun Shrimp and Sausage Packs

1 lb shrimp, 16/20’s or 21/25’s peeled and deveined, tail on

1 pound andouille sausages, thickly sliced

2 medium zucchinis, halved lengthwise and sliced

2 red peppers, cut into 1-inch chunks

2 corn cobs, cut into 1-inch rounds

2 large red potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes

¼ cup melted butter

2 tbsp Cajun seasoning

Fresh chopped parsley

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add corn and cut potatoes.

Cook for 5 minutes and then remove from heat and drain. Set it aside. Divide the mixture between the four pieces of foil, piling it in the center of each piece. Combine the shrimp, sausage, peppers, zucchini, melted butter and spices in a bowl and toss well, then add to the corn/potatoes. Fold the long sides of the foil together over the top of the mixture, turning it over twice to seal the contents. Fold up the ends and seal the packet closed. Repeat for all the packets. Place the foil packets on the grill and cook undisturbed for 10-14 minutes, or until the shrimp are cooked through. Open the foil packets carefully and serve hot with chopped parsley.

Let’s end with some dessert. Although most don’t consider apple crisp to be a summer dessert, who’s ever going to say no, especially from the campfire or grill. This can be done from start to finish in less than 45 minutes and feeds 4-6.

Campfire Apple Crisp

Apple Filling

6 cups thinly sliced apples, 5-6, any variety you want, peeled and cored

3 tbsp light brown sugar

1 tbsp granulated sugar

2 tsp apple pie spice

Topping

1 ¼ cup flour

¾ cup light brown sugar

¾ cup quick oats

1 stick of butter, melted

½ tsp apple pie spice

Vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce for topping

Preheat your grill to 350 degrees. Using a large mixing bowl, toss together the thinly sliced apple, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and apple pie spice. Set it aside. Using a medium size mixing bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar, quick oats, apple pie spice, and melted butter. Set it aside. Tear 4-6 sections of foil. Scoop 1 cup or more of the apple filling onto the middle of the foil. Scoop out ½ cup of the topping on top of the apple filling. Place the packets around the edges of the grill. If you are using a campfire, place the packets on the grate over the fire pit. Allow them to cook for 20 minutes. Remove the packets and allow them to rest for 5 – 10 minutes. Top the apple crisp with vanilla ice cream and drizzle with the caramel sundae topping. If you care to prep these in advance to throw them together at the last minute, toss the apple slices in 1-2 tbsp lemon juice and keep in an airtight container, covered in plastic film, then refrigerate. Yummy.

“Hands on History” Presentation in Center Sandwich on August 12

The North Sandwich Friends (Quaker) Meeting in partnership with Old Friends Genealogy invites the community of Sandwich and any other interested individuals to gather at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 12, 2023 at the Benz Center located at 18 Heard Road in Center Sandwich. A PowerPoint presentation will be used to describe highlights of the recently completed “Hands on History” community project spearheaded and organized by the North Sandwich Friends Meeting. This project featured substantial work related to the Religious Society of Friends (1776) burial ground at the base of Wentworth Hill in Center

Sandwich including work inside the “stonewalls” by Sandwich Central Elementary students and volunteers as well as education and research outside the walls of the burial ground.

Old Friends Genealogy (Mike and Kate Lancor of Moultonborough) collected information from the inscriptions on gravestones in the burial ground and reviewed previously recorded maps and cemetery logs before proceeding with extensive genealogy research for those known to be buried in the burial ground. Ancestry.com was used as a platform to develop family trees for those buried there. Profile pages were created for each individual buried

The Barn at Moody Mountain Farm Presents — An Evening with Kyle Care

Kyle Carey’s unique trans-Atlantic fusion of music includes influences of the American Folk Anthology, the Appalachian poetry of Louise McNeill, and the traditional music of Ireland, Cape Breton and Scotland. She will be performing at The Barn at Moody Mountain Farm, 100 Pork Hill Rd.

Wolfeboro on Saturday, August 12th at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $25.

The results are well described by Jeremy Searle of R2 Magazine—‘Kyle Carey is, quite simply, a delight. Drawing from both the American and British folk traditions, her songs, including some very fine originals, are

beautifully crafted and performed. She’s assured, confident, charming and irresistible.’ Kyle’s debut album ‘Monongah’, produced by former Lùnasa guitarist Donogh Hennessy, rose to number eight on the Folk DJ charts, landing on a number of ‘Best of 2011’ lists by year’s end.

Her original songs draw heavily from the American folk tradition, while her fluency in Scottish Gaelic makes for her own brand of ‘Gaelic Americana’ music. Kyle’s sophomore release ‘North Star’ recorded in Scotland and produced by Solas founding member Seamus Egan was released in the fall of 2014 to wide-

spread critical acclaim, charting at #45 in the top 200 CDs of 2014— compiled by Folk DJs nationwide.

Her fan-funded third album ‘The Art of Forgetting’, produced by Dirk Powell, features a cast of backing musicians which includes luminaries such as Rhiannon Giddens and John McCusker, and was released in early 2018 on the World Music Network’s Riverboat Records label to wide-spread acclaim –landing on PopMatters ’20 Best Folk Albums of 2018’ list by year’s end. Having toured for five years on both sides of the Atlantic, Kyle Carey is a unique and innovative artist not to be missed.

Newfound Nature Station: Super Soils!

Join the Newfound Lake Region Association (NLRA) as we explore the ground beneath our feet at Grey Rocks during Newfound Nature Station, a free program that connects youth and families to the natural world. This event will be held at Grey Rocks Conservation Area at 178 N Shore Road, Hebron, NH on August 9 & 12 from 10 am to 12 pm. Soil is an amazing mixture of minerals, organic matter (dead and alive), air, and water that provides habitat for wildlife, water filtration, nutrients for plants, and a host of other ecosystem services. This valuable resource is created through slow chemical, physical, and biological processes leading to different types of soil in different places. At Nature Station you can explore the GLOBE Soil Tent to learn about soils in different ecosystems, analyze the soil of Grey Rocks, and make some nature art to take home. This program is

free and open to all.

Newfound Nature Station, along with other family programs and events, is part of NLRA’s year-round work to encourage residents and visitors to enjoy the natural beauty around them, learn more about the environment and

how to protect it, and fall in love with

the Newfound Watershed. By connecting the people of Newfound to the wonders around them, NLRA works to inspire the next generation of stewards and fulfill the mission of protecting Newfound Lake and its watershed. Along with programs like Newfound Nature Station, NLRA maintains Grey Rocks Conservation Area in all seasons as a place for people and wildlife alike. It offers walking trails, a picnic area, fishing alcoves, and a non-motorized boat launch and is frequented by wildlife like loons, turtles, and bald eagles as well as people.

Hunter Education Classes

Online and In Person

Sign up now to take your Hunter Education class and be ready for all of this fall’s coming seasons. Register today at https://wildlife. state.nh.us/hunting/hunter-ed.html. Select “Find a class,” to locate traditional in-person courses or pick “Start online course” to take the virtual Hunter Education course. To complete the class, participants will be required to attend a field day, a schedule of which will be provided upon completion of either type of course. Walk-ins are accepted at in-person trainings on a space-available basis, but seats are never guaranteed. Pre-registration is highly recommended.

If you are planning to take the online Hunter Education course, get started now. There are currently numerous spots available for the field days that are required after completion of either course. These spots will become more difficult to find later in the year as hunting seasons get closer.

Hunter Education is required in New Hampshire before a new hunter can purchase his or her first hunting license. If you are age 16 or older, you need a license to hunt. To meet this requirement, the New Hampshire Fish

and Game Department offers classes around the state. Participants must be at least 12 years old by the last day of the course to achieve certification in basic Hunter Education. Students must be at least 15 years old to take the online course with a field day. New Hampshire’s Hunter Education course provides firearms and archery certification.

Hunters who purchased an Apprentice Hunting License last year must take Hunter Education before they can purchase a hunting license. The Apprentice Hunting License allows people to hunt under the guidance of an experienced hunter, without first taking Hunter Education, but it can be purchased only once in a lifetime. Learn more at www.huntnh.com/hunting/apprentice.html.

For more information on Hunter Education in New Hampshire, visit www.huntnh.com/hunting/hunter-ed. html or call (603) 271-3214.

Hunter Education in New Hampshire is funded with Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration by an excise tax on firearms, ammunition, and archery equipment. To learn more visit www.huntnh. com/funding/wsfr.html.

Tuftonboro Resident Receives Stewardship Award

NH LAKES recently awarded the 2023 John F. Morten Memorial Award for Exemplary Lake Stewardship to Steve Wingate, Lakes Region resident and steward of Mirror Lake in Tuftonboro, New Hampshire.

“Steve Wingate has had an enormous impact on educating lake residents about the importance of caring for the environment around us,” explained Joanne Huyler, one of 16 individuals who nominated Steve for the award. “He has not only set the example but has actively assisted a generation of people in following in his footsteps.”

Steve has served and continues to

serve on numerous local, regional, and statewide organizations and projects that conserve New Hampshire’s lakes, wetlands, and forests. They include the Tuftonboro Conservation Commission and Milfoil Committee, UNH Lakes Lay Monitoring Program, Lakes Region Planning Commission, Lake Winnipesaukee Association, Wolfeboro Waters, Lakes Management Advisory Committee, Carroll County Conservation District, and the Great Meadow Wetlands Project.

Steve was awarded the 2023 John F. Morten Memorial Award for Exemplary Lake Stewardship on July 15 at the

Winter Harbor Way Association Meeting. NH LAKES Board Chair Bruce Freeman and President Andrea LaMoreaux presented Steve with the prestigious award.

“While a record number of amazing individuals were nominated for the Morten Award this year, the selection committee was unanimous in bestowing this award upon Steve,” explained LaMoreaux.

Freeman continued, “Steve’s contributions are numerous, and he has been unselfish giving of his time, talent, and treasure. We’re confident that his contributions to the Mirror Lake community—and beyond—will continue to

grow and live on for years to come.”

This special award was created in 2002 in honor of the late John F. Morten (1914-1989). It was Mr. Morten’s lifelong work to give generously his time, talents, and financial resources to help protect New Hampshire’s lakes and ponds that he loved so much. He was a person who made things happen—an out-of-the-box thinker, leader, and activist who was organized, determined, and persistent in the achievement of any task. In tribute to his vision, dedication, and commitment, NH LAKES established the John F. Morten Memorial Award for Exemplary Lakes Stewardship.
