proud to share," said Jay Curcio, owner and executive chef of The White Apron.

Castello Banfi wines selected for each course and presented by Italian wine enthusiast,Guy Esposito, M.D., who has shared his enthusiasm for Italian regional wines with groups ranging from classes at Boston University to travelers in Italy.

Proceeds from the Wine Dinner will benefit Strawbery Banke's preservation, exhibits and edu-cational programs, including History Within Reach which brings more than 10,000 schoolchildren to the museum each year. Many of these children have never been on a field trip before and spend hours on a bus to reach the Seacoast area. Their teachers note that often the impressions they form stay with them for life.

"The White Apron is proud to support historic pres-ervation and programs for schoolchildren at Strawbery Banke," said Curcio, who was raised in an environment where he learned the value of historic preservation early on. "My mom worked in economic development in the Midwest and part of her job was to help the National Trust for Historic Preservation identify and ultimately preserve historic structures. That is one of the reasons I support Strawbery Banke and am into

Chef Esposito, a past president, former Museum Trustee and continuing advocate for the Museum, introduces each course prepared by The White Apron, relating how the ingredients are tied to the history of the museum and its historic gardens.

"This evening allows me to blend my love of Italian cooking with my passion for American history in

support of crucial programs for curious young minds at Strawbery Banke," Esposito said.

Michael Mengers, Community Events Manager at the Greater Dover Chamber of Commerce. “Even though the Tours were scheduled to end in August, we continu-ally get phone calls and visitors asking if they could be extended through September. We are doing our best to keep up with the demand.”

To date, over 70 people have taken the historic tour this summer which began being offered on June 16th. Attendees have come from as far as Israel, Canada and Wisconsin. Mengers believes about 50% of tour-takers are Dover residents interested in learning more about the history located right in their backyard.

This summer is the third year that the Chamber of Commerce has offered the tours and the program is staffed entirely by volunteers. Dover residents and history buffs, Doug DeDe, Anthony McManus, Larrie Upton and

Ollie LeChance have acted as guides this season. The cost of the Guided Tour is $5 per person and $15 for families of three or more. Comfortable shoes, water bottles and reservations are strongly recommended. To make a res-ervation for an upcoming tour, please contact the Greater Dover Chamber of Commerce by calling (603) 742-2218.

Make food prep easy by going rawFollow a few quick and easy tips to serve and enjoy the the freshest of fruits and

veggies grown at your local farms. Serve these foods raw, because cooked vegetables can lose many nutrients throughout the cooking process. Choose to go raw for your first bite, and try these ideas.

Simple dipping delights - A plate of crudites, also known as raw vegetables cut into bite-sized strips, served with a favorite dressing or delicious dip, makes for a great afternoon refreshment or pre-dinner appetizer. Add unexpected treats like shoestring-cut sweet potatoes, sugar snap peas or green beans served fresh.

Pretty, delicious and raw - Turn garden delights into pieces of art. Thinly slice a sweet potato into long, narrow strips. Wrap the strips in a circle, pinning on one side with a toothpick, and flaring out on the other to create a flower appearance.

Sassy salsa - Chips and salsa or guacamole - the reason many restaurants serve these prior to the meal is because they are delicious and easy to prepare ahead of time. Make pico de gallo using tomatoes, onions, jalapenos and cilantro. Or, change it up by smashing avocados and substituting them for the tomatoes.

Crispy salads - There is nothing better than a crisp lettuce salad full of fresh vegetables and decorated with nuts and fruits. If growing leaf lettuce, do not cut until you are ready for use. Head lettuce can be chilled in the refrigerator for a day or two. Cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, herbs, radishes and asparagus add delightful flavors to the lettuce. Mix in cheese like feta, blue cheese, parmesan or goat cheese, and add nuts, croutons or even tortilla strips for some added crunch. Do not be afraid to add those fresh summer fruits as well. A handful of blueberries, sliced strawberries, diced apples or delicious grapes on top, and you have got a well-balanced meal mostly grown right in your own garden.

The Herbalist in the Field: Autumn Barks and Berries Workshop

9/29/2012 (10:00AM) CANTERBURY - This in-the-field series will devote an hour to each plant, includ-

ing time spent identifying, harvesting, and processing it into remedies or food. This unique opportunity to get to know common, useful medicinal plants takes advantage of the scenic gardens, fields, woodlands, and garden barn of the historic Canterbury Shaker Village. As the season shifts to autumn, most flowers and leaves have long past their peak, and the medicinal energies now reside in berries and the bark of shrubs and trees. You will venture to the forests of the Village to seek out wild cherry, black birch, and elderberry to make tea, cough syrup, and oxymel. (If elderberry is not available to harvest, we’ll work with rosehips.) Canterbury Shaker Village, 288 Shaker Road, Canterbury, NH. Phone: 603-783-9077

sLowlife, a unique exhibi-tion at the Montshire

We know intellectually that plants are alive, but experiencing it directly is mostly in the realm of gardeners - it takes time.

Many of us think of and treat plants as inanimate objects. However, a plant grows, reacts to changes in its environment, reproduces, responds to disease and injury, and undergoes a slow decline into old age and death – a saga that sounds hauntingly familiar. Con-trary to our conscious perception, plants do move…be it ever so slowly.

Through vivid time-lapse photography and movies, sLowlife accelerates the time-scale of plants into our own frame of reference, speeding up their everyday lives to a pace that resonates with our own. “We take great pride in the living landscape of our 100-acre museum here at the Montshire,” states Bob Raiselis, Exhibits Director at the Montshire, “and this new exhibition will help visitors to understand just how alive that landscape is.” Raiselis continues, “By turning time on its head, the creators of sLowlife have given us a whole new way to look at plants, their

activities, their movement, and their lives.”sLowlife is an exciting exhibition that uses

science, art, and technology to provide alternative dimensions for experiencing plants. It presents unusual and sometimes unnerving perspectives on how a plant reacts, both short-term and long-term, to its inner and outer worlds. Using scientific data from the plant studies on which the exhibition was based,

nationally known composer John Gibson, Indiana University, created a fascinating musical score to accompany the exhibition.

Slowlife exhibition will be at the Montshire Mu-seum of Science in Norwich, Vermont from Saturday, September 15–Sunday, November 25, 2012.
