Message from the President
What a year! Although 2020 was a year of significant challenges, it was
also a year of significant accomplishments made possible by the incredible
generosity of our community. Thanks to your enthusiastic support for the
“Keep Merrymeeting Clean” campaign, 1,143 additional acres are now in
conservation with the successful expansion of the Birch Ridge Community
Forest and protection of Mount Molly. These lands for enjoyment of hiking
and recreation are now permanently a gift for future generations to enjoy!
The mission of the Merrymeeting Lake
Association (MMLA) is to help preserve
and protect the beauty, quality, Conserving the land in the
integrity, and value of Merrymeeting Lake watershed around our lake is the

Conservation Land Turns into Salvation for Many People
Who would have thought the Birch Ridge Community Forest (BRCF), the
recently donated Collins property and Devils Den would have such a positive
effect on people's lives in the midst of a global pandemic!
The property originally intended to preserve water quality and wildlife has
turned into a sanctuary for many people living in New Durham and the
surrounding communities this past winter. These beautiful properties have
helped people around Merrymeeting Lake manage both their physical and
mental health in this very dif icult pandemic year. The land and trails, managed
by Southeast Land Trust (SELT), has been growing every year and will exceed
3,500 acres around Merrymeeting Lake this year.
Groups have been hiking, snowshoeing, and cross country skiing every day and sometimes twice daily on the land. One hiking
group boasts having hiked up every mountain around the lake, exploring Mount Molly, Mount Eleanor, Mount Jessie, Mount Bet,
Caverly, Rattlesnake, Copple Crown, and the Moose Mountains. SELT has been actively developing new trails and marking existing
trails, with more planned for completion this spring and summer.
New BRCF parking lots on Merrymeeting Road and at the top of Birch Hill Road, as well as a parking area at the beginning of North
Shore Road to Devils Den provide access to many trails and mountain tops. Beautiful views of Merrymeeting Lake from both
Eleanor and Molly, and a spectacular view of Winnipesaukee from the top of Caverly are the hiker’s reward.
We are very fortunate to have this land to hike and bike this summer. Hopefully you’ll mark your calendar to take a hike with your
friends and family to enjoy these amazing resources that many in our community have donated to and worked hard to preserve.

our lake environment for all to enjoy! Please bring your own trash bags and
gloves for the safe collection of trash and recyclables, and encourage your
family, friends, and neighbors to participate. If the road near your home is
not in need of attention, we welcome volunteers to cover portions of
Merrymeeting Road from Brackett Road to the marina. Check out the
Merrymeeting Lake Facebook Page to see other areas that are being covered,
as it’s updated frequently by enthusiastic participants. Please take some fun
(or serious) pictures of your group in action and share them with us at mmla@mmlake.org! Let’s clean up our
roadside and protect the lake environment for all to enjoy!
2021 Marina FIREWORKS!!
Fireworks will be held on July 3rd, August 7th, and September 4th. This year each Fireworks show will also feature
a music event! All shows are sponsored by the Merrymeeting Marina. Monetary donations for the ireworks will be
accepted and matched by the Merrymeeting Marina.

PRESERVE AND PROTECT
COMMITTEE SUMMER EVENTS
The MMLA Preserve and Protect Committee continues to bring programs, information, and events
to the lake community aimed at preserving the beauty of the watershed, maintaining the
exceptional water quality, and encouraging enjoyment of the lake and all it has to offer. Because of
the COVID pandemic we remain uncertain about indoor events, even with the availability of
vaccines. So, once again we are planning events that keep our community safe but still allow us to
get outdoors and enjoy not just the incredible scenery, but the company of our neighbors and
friends.
We will once again be holding a Boat Parade on July 17 (rain date
July 18) at 4:00 PM. The theme for this year will be “Celebrate
Summer”, which is open to your interpretation but it’s a good excuse
to decorate the boat with lags, lights and decorations. You know you
want to! We respectfully request that no political statements or
themes be presented. We will meet at the area near the dam and
Nancy Bryant will lead the parade on a two-hour tour of the lake. If
you cannot participate, please cheer us on from your waterfront.

We also plan to reprise Music on the Lake on July 31 (rain date August 1)
from 5:00 to 8:00 PM. We started this event last year and it turned into an
instant favorite! We will be seeking musical acts to perform around the lake, so
please contact Jen Seusing if you would be willing to perform, or to provide
recorded music on your dock (Jjs0203@comcast.net or private message on the
Merrymeeting Facebook Page). Remember that while sound does carry across
the water, you will need ampli ication to broadcast effectively with boats

We are planning a new event this year for adults and children. Picnic
at the Cabin will take place at 12:00 Noon on August 21 (rain date
August 22) at the Birch Ridge Community Forest (BRCF) Cabin. The
cabin is easily accessed from the new BRCF parking lot at the end of
Birch Hill Road, or via a longer hike from the BRCF parking lot on
Merrymeeting Road. Please bring your own picnic (BYOP) and follow
the “Leave No Trace” principle to “Carry In and Carry Out”. We will
also feature special children’s outdoor activities at this event.
Please join us, your friends, and your neighbors in enjoying time together safely outdoors. We
expect that next year will bring a return to normalcy and the Preserve and Protect Committee will
focus again on events/presentations related to protecting this most valued resource. In the
meantime, let’s have some fun on and around our special lake.

Daniel Leach Shares Lake Memories of Family and Friends
Thanks ma and dad. In 1958 Glenn and Mary Leach saved $2000 which was enough to buy a lot on a lake and build a
summer cottage. A friend of theirs found them a beautiful lot in Alton on the big lake. They passed on it because they would
have had to save for another couple of years to get enough money to build. Howard Northridge on South Shore Rd told them
about Merrymeeting Lake. In 1958 they bought 110 feet of frontage, lot number 78, from Ralph and Mary Richardson
owners of the marina and many lots on the lake. This lot was on a very steep hill and across from the spring (which old
timers will remember) but what a view it had. In 1959 they rented a camp on 30 South Shore Road for a month so they could
start building.
They did not have the money to get rid the large granite boulders so they built over them or around them. They put the camp
closer to the street because, as Glenn often said, you bring a lot of things to the camp but you only bring towels, tubes, and
beer down the 63 steps to the lake. My family became close friends with the Thorntons, Dufors, Fitzpatricks, Northridges,
and Pitmans here on Merrymeeting Lake. In 1960 the group decided to have a 4th of July clam bake on South Shore Rd at
what is now the home of Bobby and Noreen Northridge. For a 9 year old I remember how much fun it was watching the ire
pit being built as we gathered rocks and wood for the ire. The most fun was going to get the seaweed at the beach and
digging the clams, something we did for many years afterwards. At least 100 people attended.
When I became a teenager there were some times I wanted to be in Manchester with my friends but I realized I had many
friends at the lake that I liked more. Even now I think about the many people like Bob, Chap, Bev, Barb, Cheryl, and Brian
who were just some of the many people that would go to the snack bar or Irwin Garden at the Weirs. We also went to the
Mount Major Store to try to buy beer. Some of these people are still around the lake. We no longer water ski but still go
swimming. We still hike up Mount Major or Devil’s Den, but de initely slower! My late wife Susan and I, and our doggie
Kennedy, used to like slowly boating around the lake and noticing the new places. Now my new dog Dewey and old friend
Cheryl, a former resident of Meaders Point Road and teen waitress at Taylor’s Snack Bar, now slowly ride around the lake
looking at bigger houses and I’m always saying to myself, “thanks ma and dad!”.
Lake Host Program Continues to Prove Its Worth
Clean water, happy wildlife, and stable property values depend on a healthy lake, free of invasive species. The NH
LAKES Lake Host Program is the irst line of defense in keeping our lakes free of invasive plants and animals.
Through this nationally-recognized aquatic invasive species education and
prevention program, each summer hundreds of individuals trained as Lake
Hosts inspect boats, trailers, and gear for hitchhiking plants and animals. They
teach thousands of boaters each year about “Clean, Drain & Dry” method for
aquatic invasive species prevention.
Since 2002, New Hampshire Lake Hosts have conducted over one-million
courtesy boat inspections and have made nearly 1,600 ‘saves’ of invasive
species that had just hitchhiked out of a lake or were about to be launched into
a lake. The number of additional ‘saves’ Lake Hosts have contributed to by
inspiring boaters to always Clean, Drain, & Dry their boat trailer and gear, even
when a Lake Host isn’t at the launch to help, is immeasurable!
Starting Mid-May the Merrymeeting boat launch will typically be manned 7 AM
to 5 PM during the week and 7 AM to 7 PM on weekends.
Thank you to our members for your support of this important program.

“Fireworks” an Opinion Piece
BUT SOMETHING JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE HERE...
Our conservation efforts are hugely successful and more land is in the pipeline. We are
well on our way to protecting the water quality of Merrymeeting Lake forever. Thank
you all for your help, support, and donations. It has truly been a team effort. BUT there
is something that we need to address that is outside of the conservation efforts,
something that is polluting our lake, but is within OUR control to stop.
WHAT GOES UP MUST COME DOWN. When ireworks are launched lakeside, paper and
chemicals are being dropped directly into the lake. Fireworks contain ammonium
perchlorate, sulfur dioxide, lead nitrate, lead chloride, and copper—which pollute both
the lake and our ground water. These chemicals can increase algae and cyanobacterial
blooms on the water surface and can cause harm to people, pets, loons, and other
wildlife.
Is there a way to enjoy a ireworks show AND protect the Lake? I think there is...
It is recommended that ireworks be launched at least 250 feet back from the lake and
outside of the designated shoreline protection area. This is not easy to do at most
homes. We are planning to have three ireworks shows this year on July 3, August 7, and
September 4. We can concentrate all our monies on shows launched at the Marina, 500
feet away from the lake.
We need to get the word out to everyone around the lake that we have a plan to
consolidate our money and efforts to CELEBRATE WITHOUT POLLUTING OUR LAKE. If
you rent, please let renters/guests know you don't allow use of ireworks. Reach out to
your neighbors and family members who like to launch ireworks and ask them to
please contact us at the Marina about donating ireworks or money to hold three
ireworks shows that are lake friendly. Best of all, the Marina will match all
contributions dollar for dollar. If we receive the support we anticipate, we plan to have
different live music at each of the three events to enjoy on your boat while social
distancing. Please help us by passing the word to your neighbors who love ireworks,
and ask for their support in helping us celebrate safely while keeping our water the
cleanest in NH!

In Remembrance
Photo by Allan & Janet Thorell
Phyllis I. (McAskill) Nadeau, 91, passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by her family on April 3,
2021. She had a natural ability to listen, respond lovingly, and inspire quietly. She nurtured and supported the
needs of a large and diverse family. Her commitment and dedication have left an indelible mark on each
member of her immediate and extended family. As Phyllis' family grew, she welcomed each new addition,
guided by the same principles she had with her own children, cherishing their unique qualities, while helping
them to understand they are an important part of the family. Her family is eternally grateful for her wisdom and
love. Phyllis will be remembered lovingly by her family and close friends for her genuinely warm and selfless
nature. She was fully present when you were in her company. After 82 days of being apart, Phyllis was reunited
with her late husband, Norman.
Norman and Phyllis are deeply missed by their children and their families; Kathleen Nadeau, John (Jack) Nadeau and his wife,
Stephanie, Kenneth Nadeau and his wife, Diane, Gerard (Gerry) Nadeau and his wife Brenda, Gary Nadeau and his wife Theresa
(Terri) of New Durham, Marcia Nadeau of New Durham, Maryanne (Nadeau) Ham and her husband Dana, and Joseph Nadeau and
his wife Holly. They cherished their 14 grandchildren, 14 great grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.
Her complete obituary is at: https://obituaries.salemnews.com/obituary/phyllis-nadeau-1081949479/
Norman Nadeau, 93, died at his home after a brief illness on January 11, 2021. He was the love of
Phyllis’ life and best friend. They celebrated their 69th Wedding Anniversary last July. During their
marriage, the couple raised their 8 children in Salem, MA. When their children were young, they built a
camp on Merrymeeting Lake together and upon retirement renovated the camp where the family had
summered, splitting their time between homes in New Durham, NH and Islamorada, FL. They enjoyed
traveling throughout North America and Canada in their Airstream.
Norman was an outdoorsman and a self-taught hobbyist, carving and creating artful pieces with the
recurring theme of wildlife. He was an avid fly fisherman, former hunter, bird/waterfowl watcher, and
conservationist. He was a quiet philanthropist who led by example. He will be remembered lovingly by his family and close friends
for his quiet, yet strong moral compass. He leaves a legacy of integrity, where actions spoke louder than words, doing the "right
thing" was a way of life, acceptance of all, unspoken sacrifice and patience were naturally balanced by a quick wit and a great
sense of humor. His complete obituary is at: https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/bostonglobe/obituary.aspx?n=norman-nadeau&pid=197537048&fhid=4151
Elizabeth Mary Allard of 363 South Shore Road passed away on December 11, 2020 after a long illness.
Liz was born in Victory, Vermont – a town so small that the Main Street remains a dirt road today. She grew
up in Littleton, New Hampshire where she graduated from High School in 1973. She was married in 1975 to
her husband Jeff, and after many moves to places from Idaho to Maryland, Pennsylvania and New York,
they realized their dream and settled in New Durham permanently in 2008. She worked as an accountant
and a realtor for many years.
Elizabeth is survived by her husband, Jeff, of 45 years, her daughter Crystal who lives with her husband,
John and two children Clara and Elsie in Baltimore, MD, and her son Paul who lives with his wife Loren and
their daughter Grace in Bethlehem, NH. She also leaves two sisters, Dot of Lunenburg, VT, and Connie of Littleton, NH.
Liz was a quiet and thoughtful person who loved her family, especially her granddaughters. She was a kind and loving woman and
to know her was to love her. She was the glue and provided the support that allowed her family to face each day and succeed.
She left us too young and will be remembered for her gentle love and kindness.
page 10 merrymeeting lake association summer 2021Tips for Boaters and Jet Skiers
We all love getting out on Merrymeeting Lake with our watercraft to enjoy water sports, ishing or a relaxing day or evening
cruise. Motorized boats can, however, have a signi icant impact on the environmental health of lakes. It is estimated that for
every 100 gallons of boat and jet ski fuel expended, about 20 gallons goes directly into the water as raw fuel (Vermont
Agency of Natural Resources, 1999). The two-cycle engines employed on personal watercraft have the largest percent of
unburned fuel passing through the engine and into the water. Two-cycle outboard engines are also very inef icient.
Tips for boater and jet skiers to reduce pollution: Photo by Allan & Janet Thorell
● Consider using newer engines that have direct fuel injection, catalytic converters, and other pollution-control measures.
● Refrain from running at top speed, which expends more fuel.
● Limit boating in shallow areas where boats can disturb bottom sediments and tear up and spread aquatic vegetation.
● Re-fuel carefully to prevent spills.
● Keep engines in good repair.
Let’s do what we can to help “Keep Merrymeeting Lake Clean”.

Report Released by NH Commission to Study Wake Boats
Wake boarding and wake sur ing (riding the wake without a tow rope) both require a high boat wake, often achieved by
pumping lake water into built-in compartments or ballast bags on an inboard boat. While these water sports can be fun, they
can potentially cause ecological harm to lakes.
A “Commission to Study Wake Boats”, authorized by the NH Legislature, met several times in 2019 and 2020 and issued a
inal report dated June 30, 2020. The Commission identi ied some of the good effects (versatile recreational enjoyment and
tourism dollars) and bad effects (high waves and potential transport of aquatic invasive species through ballast water) of
wake boats. High waves can pose risks for swimmers, other boats, and wildlife such as loons. High waves can also cause
erosion to vulnerable shorelines, leading to land loss for property owners and adding silt and nutrients to a lake. Silt can
harm ish and nutrients can increase aquatic vegetation and algal growth.
The Commission recommended safety legislation for wake surfers but could not come to a consensus on recommending new
laws speci ic to wake boats. Instead, the Commission emphasized the need for wake boater education speci ically on the
following two areas:
1) Clean, drain and dry procedures should be followed so that ballast water potentially containing aquatic invasive species
is never transported from lake to lake.
2) When generating high waves, wake boats should keep as far away from the shoreline as possible (at a minimum of 150-
feet safe passage), giving time for their waves to dissipate before coming to shore.
A link to the Commission’s full report can be found on the MMLA website.

fMerrymeeting Marina Update 2021
Adapting to Covid-19 by Allen Weldon
Last summer we were in the middle of the pandemic, but trust that
this season we will be on our way to a return to normalization-- or at
least to the "new normal”. Although it may be fall by the time most
of us are vaccinated, the numbers are promising.
In preparation for a safe summer, we’ve done some remodeling and
improvements at the Marina to enable us to bring back ice cream.
Take-out windows now grace the front of the store where the
entrance was previously located, with a new all accessible entrance
now on the side of the building.
We will be offering hard and soft serve ice cream, sodas, bottled water, slushies, milk shakes, sundaes, chips,
and candy bars. Food will be sold through our new takeout windows only, and additional outdoor seating
areas are being added with social distancing in mind.
Inside the marina, we will be open for watercraft related business, including boat repairs, boat sales, boat
storage, moorings, and other general business. No food will be offered inside the building.
Our restroom has been remodeled and we’ve added a new ramp to make it accessible for everyone. We hope
that these changes will make the "new normal" safer for our customers and our employees.
We look forward to serving you again this summer, and thank you for your loyalty, your business, and your
support!
