The Heath Family of Center Harbor

Brian Stearns, LNA — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 00:00:54 +0000

E.M. Heath Inc. took root in 1945 when Everett and Madeline Heath moved to Center Harbor, New Hampshire on the north shore of Lake Winnipesaukee. Starting out as a wide variety general store, Everett sold everything from shovels to seafood. This format lead to Heath’s gaining a well earned reputation as the local “Dealer in Most Everything”.

In 1963 Everett’s oldest son, Bob joined the family business on a full time basis and the growing company incorporated. In 1969 the Heaths changed their business model by constructing a new building as home to their first supermarket while expanding their hardware and clothing lines in the original store.

The next several decades saw many company changes as the Heath’s family of businesses grew to include another supermarket, two additional hardware stores and a specialty gourmet store.

The 90`s saw some corporate consolidation as locations were either sold or closed. At this time, E.M. Heath, Inc. operates a TrueValue Hardware store and a full-line supermarket in the village of Center Harbor. Additionally, the company is involved with limited property management.

Also during the 90`s some key employees were made stockholders giving them a minority ownership in the business. Today those key employees run the day to day operations. Members of the Heath Family sit on the Board of Directors of the Corporation effectively overseeing the business.

Everett’s spirit lives on in the business he founded as the company looks to serve the local area residents and frequent seasonal vacationers in a friendly, spirited way while still striving to maintain its small town roots as the “Dealer in Most Everything”.

Weirs Times History

Brian Stearns, LNA — Fri, 27 May 2011 00:00:52 +0000

The Weirs Times and Tourist’s Gazette was first published in 1883 by Matthew H. Calvert when it was Calvert’s Weirs Times and Tourist Gazette. He published the paper until his death in 1902.
In 1992 The Weirs Times was resurrected by Publisher Bob Lawton who is the founder of “Funspot” family entertainment center in the Weirs. He envisioned a weekly publication that would focus on the grand history of not only the Lakes Region but the entire state of New Hampshire.
Using the original masthead from Matthew Calvert’s publication, as well as the map of Lake Winnipesaukee which occupied the center spread of the original paper, the first editon of the new Weirs Times hit the stands with 5,000 copies in June of 1992. Distribution was focused on the towns around Lake Winnipesaukee.
Today The Weirs Times is a free, weekly publication with a circulation of 30,000 copies year round and has a readership of 66,000 who pick up the paper from Plymouth to Concord and from Ossipee to Portsmouth.
