Emergency Action Watershed Meeting


Let’s work together to save our lake from invasive milfoil! Please come to an emergency action meeting of the Northwood Lake Watershed Association at the Northwood Town Hall, Saturday, June 12, 9-10:30 a.m.


Find out the hard facts about the milfoil problem in Northwood Lake.


Learn how milfoil adversely affects property values and your quality of life.


Discuss what other lakeshore communities have done to successfully combat milfoil.
Find out what you can do to help.


Since 1992 we have treated the lake for milfoil. Until recently, we thought we had things under control. We were wrong. Milfoil has been making steady gains over the last few years. It has become denser in the areas where originally found and has spread to new areas around the lake.


We must act. We have asked the state for a permit to treat the worst 41 acres of our 650 acre lake this June. The State has no money this year to help us so we are on our own.


There is hope! Our plan is to hit the milfoil hard with treatments for two consecutive seasons. We then plan to follow that up with an ongoing diving maintenance program 4 to 5 times a year. We are organizing our own dive team to help keep costs low and maintain control of milfoil treatment ourselves.


This problem can only be solved by all of us working together. Your attendance at the June 12 meeting is important.

Letter


Fellow CBNA Alumni and Friends,
My name is Julie Smith Clarke, and I am running for President of the CBNA Alumni Association. I believe this organization has much potential, and I ask for your support. Together we can bring about marked change by increasing membership, initiating new fundraising events, becoming a strong asset to CBNA in its endeavors, and having more visibility in the community as a welcoming support system for alumni and current students.


The Annual Association Meeting is Saturday, June 12 at Coe-Brown Northwood Academy. While the deadline has passed to rsvp for the banquet, I urge all members to attend the meeting which follows the 6 P.M. dinner. Please cast your vote for me as President. Please vote against the proposed by-law changes, which restrict active participation in the association.


If you are not currently a member, please join now! New members can pay their $5 dues for the 2009-2010 year up to and at this meeting. Existing by-laws and proposed changes can be viewed online at coebrown.org.

 

I look forward to seeing fellow alumni and friends on June 12!


Sincerely,
Julie Smith Clarke
CBNA Alumni Association Member-at-Large Alternate

Christian Leaders
(Part 4)
Biblical Leadership’s Foundation Comes From Servanthood
By Pastor Ted White


What is your concept of Biblical leadership? Is it with an iron fist? Does it leave room for input from others? Is it transparent? Is it approachable? There are some leaders who think they are always right and it is their way or the highway. What was Jesus’ concept of Biblical leadership? Let’s take a look.


In Mark 10:42-45 “Jesus called them together and said, You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”


Unsaved rulers have the tendency to exercise their authority over people. They use their positions to flex their power and have the people serve them instead of serving the people. Jesus said this was not to be the case of His followers. Those who are His leaders need to have a servant’s heart. Biblical leaders need to be willing to serve all people and not just the ones they are comfortable with. This does not mean they agree with everyone.


There are leaders that appear to be great in man’s sight, but it is what God thinks about them that ultimately counts. People have the tendency to look at the outward appearance, but God goes straight to the core of the person. He sees what a person really is no matter how wonderful they can appear on the outside. How many times do people look at appearance, the eloquent speech, the nice things people do etc. But only God truly knows the motivation of the heart. He knows what the thoughts of any person are.


Jesus is not only our Lord and Savior, but He surely is our example as well. He who is over all men came to serve even the least among men. He who created everything that is good, allowed that creation to kill Him. That was the greatest service ever to take place in all creation. Then He rose from the grave. May those of us who are Biblical leaders follow His example. Yea, may all of us who claim to follow Him look to His example of servanthood. May we actively be serving others in Jesus Name, in His authority! This is greatness to God!


What does it mean to be a servant? Need to be saved first! Go to www.newhopenorthwood.com or call 942-7729 or to find peace with God www.billygraham.org/SH_StepsToPeace.asp or www.simplysharejesus.com/

Leighton (Skip) O. Allen


Leighton O. (Skip) Allen of Northwood went Home to be with the Lord Wednesday evening, May 5, 2010.  He was under the care of the Hyder Hospice Family Home in Dover, NH. He was 75.


Skip was born on December 9, 1934, in Rochester, NH, the son of Leighton O. Allen and Muriel B. (Shea) Allen.


He moved to Northwood in 1947 when his father built a house on Route 202A that became the Allen Farm. Upon graduating from Dover High School in 1953, he enlisted in the U.S. Air Force, and served primarily in Great Britain.  After his military service, he spent most of his working years as a computer specialist, becoming one the top field engineers on IBM mainframes in the country.  At one time or another, Skip worked for most of the major computer manufacturers including IBM, Honeywell, and Wang. 

 
Skip loved York Beach, and retiring from the computer world, he opened a hot dog and hamburger stand at Short Sands. After the summer season, he returned to Northwood to become a real estate agent and notary public. In August of 1990, he opened the Allen Farm Lock Shop in the home he had built on the original farm land (Allen Farm Road).


Skip continued to utilize his electronics expertise in the repair of old radios, amplifiers and other electronic equipment. He also pursued other areas of interest such as bee keeping, photography, and making maple syrup in the sugar shack that he and his neighbor, Phil, and brother, Ross had built on the original farmstead. In 2003, he built a new home on Old Mountain Road.


Skip is survived by his wife of 20 years, Normalee Allen; brother, Don (and wife, Merry) Allen, of Maine; brother Ross (and wife, Sib) Allen, of Northwood; four children, Paul Allen and Debbie Grzeck, both of Virginia, and Mark Allen and Tracey Berry, both of Connecticut; and six grandchildren, Megan and Mandy Allen, Kelly and Kyle Grzeck, and Ken and Michelle Berry.


A memorial service will be held on Saturday, July 17 at the First Baptist Church of Northwood where Skip and Normalee have been members for twenty years.
