New
Hampshire Lakes Association Thanks NLWA
The New Hampshire Lakes
Association thanked the Northwood Lake Watershed Association Lake
Host Program in the following communication.
“Volunteers from
your lake participated in the Lake Host Program this year. The Lake
Host Program is funded through the DES and Federal grants. The
program was developed in 2002 by NH LAKES and NHDES to educate and
prevent boaters from spreading exotic aquatic plants to lakes and
ponds in New Hampshire. Since then, the number of participating
lakes and ponds and volunteers has doubled, the number o boats
inspected has tripled, and the number of “saves” (exotic plants
discovered) has increased from four in 2002 to a total of 224 in
2008.
The program is invaluable in educating boaters and
protecting NH’s waterbodies from aquatic plant infestations, thereby
preventing recreational hazards, property value decline, aquatic
ecosystem decline, aesthetic issues, and saving costly remediation
efforts. Lake Host staff made three “saves” at your lake and
discovered the following aquatic vegetation entering or leaving your
lake in 2008.
Variable milfoil (exotic) Bladderwort (native)
Great work! We encourage volunteers to continue participating in the
Lake Host Program to protect the future of your lake.”

Books
For Books
Submitted By Melissa Moore Library Media
Specialist The Got Books? Donation book bin has been moved to the
parking lot of Northwood Diner. All proceeds earned from this
fundraising program are used to purchase new books for the Northwood
School Library.
People are encouraged to place their used books
into the bin. When the bin is full, we call the Got Books? Company
and they come to empty it out. The books are sorted and recycled
through a variety of outlets. Some are donated to military families,
other books are placed with charitable organizations, and some are
sold at two used books stores managed by the Got Books? Program. The
Northwood School Library is paid by the pound for all the books
recycled in the program. We have been receiving a check a month and
it has helped us keep new books on the shelves.
When Mrs.
Oxnard’s grade 8 students visited the library recently, I was
thrilled to be able to show them many new titles that are current
bestsellers. This program helped us buy the 2009 Newbery Medal
winner, The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman, as well many others.
Materials acceptable for the book bin include adult hardcovers and
paperbacks, children’s books, audio books, videos, and DVD’s.
Encyclopedias, magazines, and catalogs are not accepted.
So in
the next few months, when you’re finished with a book, please think
about donating it for further use. Your help is appreciated. I would
like to express my appreciation to the owner of Northwood Diner, Mr.
Bob Clark for being willing to host the book bin at the Northwood
Diner.

Trans NH Bike Tour
Seven Coe-Brown Students from area towns and their teacher will be
riding again this year for the Muscular Dystrophy Association Bike
Ride. This is a 250 mile bike ride, June 26-28th, starting at the
Canadian border in Pittsburgh, NH, and ending three days later in
Concord, NH.
This year’s ride is dedicated to a young boy named
Teagan House, of Rochester, NH, who was diagnosed with Duchenne MD
at 3 years old and is now 9, trying to live as “normal” a life as
possible. There is currently no cure or even treatment to help slow
the disease progression. This event is about the people of all ages
and their families who fight each and every day to live with
Muscular Dystrophy.
If you able to contribute any amount, please
make a tax-deductible donation to the MDA. All contributions go to
the Muscular Dystrophy Association of New Hampshire to fund research
and help those affected with MD.

Harvey
Lake Women’s Club Promotes Awareness Of Domestic Violence
If you were traveling along Rts. 4, 202 or 43 last week and saw
purple t-shirts hanging from a clothesline at the municipal parking
lot and wondered why, the answer is awareness. A group of ladies
from the Harvey Lake Womens Club hung the three shirts, each with
one word, to bring awareness to the problem of domestic violence.
Domestic violence awareness was selected as the signature project of
the General Federation of Women’s Club International at their
conference in Chicago in 2008. The t-shirts with their single
words are the visual reminder that harm to women within their homes
or families must end. In a concerted effort with GFWC, the Harvey
Lake Club is promoting awareness and participating in fundraising
for needed expansion of shelters and counseling programs. To date,
over 16 million dollars has been raised through this project.
Members of the Harvey Lake Women’s Club who participated at the site
to hang the shirts were: Ann Kelley, Charlotte Klaubert, Elaine
Covey, Lucy Silva, Marie Bapple, Ginny Rogers and Joann Bailey.

Obituaries
MaryAnn (McLean) Hanrahan
Northwood - MaryAnn (McLean) Hanrahan, 53, passed
away on June 5, 2009.
She
was born in Medford, Mass., on March 4, 1956, to the late Frank
McLean and Dorothea Leonard McLean. She was a graduate of Malden
Catholic Girls High School and a graduate of Bunker Hill Community
College.
In
1982, she met Ed Hanrahan and in 1985, they married. Together, they
built a dome home in Newmarket where they welcomed their daughters
into the world. She excelled in her role as a wife and mother. She
was fiercely devoted to her family and friends and worked diligently
at instilling honesty, faith, compassion, independence, and the
pursuit of higher education in her children. She was known for
saying "NEVER, EVER, hurt a child, an animal, or an old person." - a
motto she lived by her entire life.
She
was fond of saying, "If you're not part of the solution, then you
are part of the problem. If you are part of the problem, then just
go away." She was a problem solver, and never afraid to jump in to
make things right.
In
1997, the family moved to Northwood where they became parishioners
of St. Joseph's Church. A devout Catholic, she became an active
member in the church and school.
MaryAnn had a sense of humor that sustained her through some
difficult times and by which people recognized her. Her laughter and
wit will live on in the hearts and minds of those she has left
behind.
She
is survived by her husband, Ed; daughters, Kate and Sara Hanrahan,
and Lianon Close; siblings, Julia O'Brien, Denise Egan and Frankie,
Malcolm and Lenny McLean; along with many nieces, nephews, extended
family and countless close friends, especially Mimi and Rich
Desharnais. Everyone shares in the loss of this unique and wonderful
woman.
MaryAnn has requested that in lieu of flowers, donations be sent to
the care of Kate and Sara Hanrahan, 154 Mountain Ave., Northwood
03261, to be used for their college education.
A
Mass of Christian burial will be celebrated at 10 a.m. Wednesday,
June 10, 2009, at St. Joseph Catholic Church, N.H. Turnpike,
Route 4, Northwood.
