Few things are more fun than entertaining family and friends in the summer. Here’s a sampling of the Tripp Lake social season.
NEW SAFETY SIGNS IN SPRING
Peg Harris suggested, at our last Board meeting, that we erect " SLOW—CHILDREN PLAYING" signs at strategic spots on Jordan Shore Drive and Garland Swamp Road. It was voted upon and passed that we order six 18"x24" signs at $33 each. Donations from individuals to pay for them will be gratefully accepted. Two of our members, Dick Harris and Ed Hinkley, have already offered. Want to help? Send your check to TLIA, P.O. Box 33, Poland, ME 04274. Thanks!
TELEPHONE SCAMSWe all know there are scam artists looking for ways to get access to our credentials: beware and don’t get caught off-guard without thoroughly investigating. A recent (and older) scam has recently resurfaced via the telephone. If someone calls and identifies himself as an AT&T (or other phone company) technician who is conducting a test on your phone line and asks you to press 90# and hang up, DON’T! This would give them full access to your telephone line thereby allowing them to place long-distance calls billed to your home phone number. This particular scam has been originating from many local jails/prisons. The person reporting this verified the information with several telephone companies. SO, beware. Do not press nine, zero, pound sign (90#) for anyone! BARLEY STRAW REVISITEDA post-script for our Spring column on barley straw and its effectiveness in controlling algae: Scott Williams, at our annual meeting, recommended against using this impractical method in our lake. His determination is that it may be practical in small ponds, but questionable for larger ones. It also requires a great deal of time and attention and a permit. So, instead, let’s work on prevention--- controlling runoff and pollutants with buffers before they enter the lake. RICKER MEMORIAL LIBRARY DONATIONTLIA voted, at the annual meeting in July, to donate $100 to the Ricker Library as a thank-you for allowing us space for our annual meeting. The staff was most grateful and the donation will go towards a remodeling of the Howard Kany Memorial kitchen.
