Northwood Lake Water Quality Tested
On June 20, Alan Hand, retiring volunteer water
tester for Northwood Lake, welcomed incoming volunteer water tester,
Andrea Tomlinson, with a trip around the lake to review the sampling
sites. The sites are primarily tributaries leading into Northwood
Lake. Phosphorus and storm water runoff are key concerns. Water
testing is done several times a year to monitor the lake. The
samples were sent to the state lab for testing.
The Northwood Lake Watershed Association Annual
Meeting will be held on Saturday, July 19 at the Northwood Town
Beach. Jeffrey Schloss, from the University of New Hampshire
Extension Program, will be the guest speaker. His topic will be
titled "How a Watershed Works" and will discuss the impact of your
half acre on the lake water quality. Business will also be conducted
including elections for Officers and several Director positions. The
Northwood Lake Watershed Association is looking for people willing
to commit to one of these roles. Hope to see you there.
Tiffany Allen Earns Dean's List Honors
Tiffany
Allen, daughter of Ross & Sib Allen of Northwood, earned Dean's List
status this Spring Semester at Emerson College in Boston with a
grade point average of 3.85. Tiffany has completed her junior year
as a candidate for a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Stage Management and
Production.
Many may remember our report of two years ago
when Tiffany returned from Shih Hsin University in Taipei, Taiwan
where she spent the Spring 2006 semester of her freshman year. We
also reported that she would be going to Holland to study for the
Spring 2007 semester. This adventure took her to Well, Netherlands
where Emerson College owns a castle. Tiffany was appointed to one of
two Resident Assistant (RA) positions while there. As an RA, she had
to have a single room in the castle. From her bay window that opened
out over the castle moat, she could watch a large fountain spraying
high over the ducks, geese and swans that swam in and out of the
gently falling water. (It was a tough job, but someone had to do
it.)
Travel was a requirement of this semester in
Holland, and travel she did. Two required five-day excursions took
the students to London and to Prague. Other excursions allowed the
students to pick their own destinations. Tiffany and her roommate
(from Emerson) made a five-day trip to Barcelona, Spain.
This turned into more of an adventure when they
found the express train that they were supposed to take back to the
Netherlands was full. Undaunted, Tiffany sat down and worked out
another schedule using regular trains. This took them considerably
longer, but also took them on a tour through many of the major
cities in several countries. Arriving back in the area of the castle
late on a rainy night, the bus driver didn't charge them, and then
instead of dropping them off at the bus stop, he drove this huge bus
down the road to drop them off at the front gate of the castle.
Additional trips took them to Amsterdam in Holland, the Greek
Islands, Venice, and Rome, where they toured Vatican City, and where
their hostel room looked out on the Parthenon.
Since returning home from Europe, Tiffany has
held several professional stage management positions in theaters
including the Yellow Taxi Company of Nashua, NH, and the
Lyric Stage Company, and Bad Habit Productions, both in
Boston. Her second stage management job with Yellow Taxi took
her to San Francisco for a week. She is currently working as the
stage and production manager at the Playwrights' Platform, a
cooperative development theater for new plays.
Another honor Tiffany received this month is a
scholarship from Stage Source, the Greater Boston Theater
Alliance. She was one of five students to receive a scholarship
for those who have shown exceptional character, scholarship, and
dedication to theater arts. Congratulations, Tiffany, for a job well
done.
