A LETTER FROM LINDA
|
I could tell you how long, cold and
snowy the lake winter was. I could tell you that we have had so much rain
this spring that John’s gazebo was an island, with two mallards living on
the lawn for two weeks, but that would be old news. I’m so looking forward
to seeing you all back on Tripp and do hope the warm season arrives soon.

During the fall and winter, I collect
information to pass on to you. I’ve met with the Poland High School science
teacher, Michelle Garcia, spoken to her students and helped plan her spring
field work which will help us. I set up the essay contest with the Poland
Community School fourth-grade teachers and motivated the students to try for
the scholarship to the Maine Conservation School. I also stayed in touch
with the Town Assessors, Code Enforcement Staff and Road Foreman. It’s
great when someone calls for information about Tripp Lake and becomes a new
property owner.
Judy stays in touch and we made plans
for our Board of Directors meeting in April where we chose a goal for the
year. May and June bring us to the tasks of adding to the Newsletter and
preparing for our annual Meeting. Wait ‘till you see what we have in store
for you!
Remember to call, stop by at 76
Megquier Hill or e-mail me at
ormpoland@prexar.com with any ideas, concerns or questions. We are
hoping to have more of you join us on a special topic or job.
Linda. |

A LETTER FROM JUDY
|
I’m writing this while sitting on a dock on Chesapeake
Bay. Dell and I are staying at a delightful B&B on Solomon’s Isle,
Maryland. It’s April vacation and I’m savoring the beautiful weather down
here. It’s been a long winter with way too much snow and I’ll have to teach
‘till June 29th, due to all those snow days. Ugh! But, twenty
feet off the end of the dock is an osprey nest and I’m enjoying watching
two magnificent birds taking turns sitting on their nest…so very close.

I’m looking forward to going
back to my favorite place, Tripp Lake. I’ve finally completed the TLIA
“throw” which will be for sale this season. I’ll be selling them
along with “T-shirts and Things” from my cabin, 154 Jordan Shore
Drive. The Store opens officially on July 1 unless you catch me some
weekend before that. Barbara
Perreault is the purveyor of the Tripp Lake
photo, an aerial shot of the lake. It come in several sizes, from a
4x6 to poster size and is a perfect gift for all lake lovers. Call, write
or e-mail her for prices: 6 Church St., Byfield, MA 01922, Tel: (978)
462-4279 or (207) 998-2598 or perreaultb@aol.com.
Linda and I have stayed in touch via e-mail during the
long, harsh winter. She’s always so vigilant about protecting the lake: I
learn so much from her about the environment. We’re very lucky to have both
Linda and John Laskey working together protecting the quality of our lake.
This year I plan to put a bulletin board on a tree on the
lakeside of Jordan Shore Drive, across from my cabin. As you walk by, you
can read “What’s Happening” around the lake. Feel free to add any items of
interest.
