From Your President, Rob Lively

W

inston Churchill once said: “We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.” We all give to causes that are important to us and a question I always ask is, “Is the organization a good steward of my donation/membership? Does it do what it says it is going to do?” In that vein I hope you will read the article below that talks about how FOWL was named the 2018 Lake Association of the Year by the Maine Lakes Society. It is an award we all can take pride in, for we all played a part in it through our donations and membership. We are especially appreciative of your support of FOWL and I trust you will renew your membership with the enclosed membership/donation envelope.

I expect many of us have known people who seem to “do it all” in an organization: they have a clear sense of the mission; they have unbounded energy when it comes to achieving goals; they are a storehouse of institutional history; and they offer sage advice when it comes to addressing questions and issues. For FOWL, that person is Sandy Muller. As you will see in the enclosed article, she is the bedrock of our organization, embodying all of the above traits, plus more. And I am glad the article places her FOWL story in the larger context of a very meaningful life. I mean, really, how many of us can claim to have worked with Dr. Michael DeBakey of heart transplant fame, provided private nursing care for the Duke of Windsor, and perhaps most unusually, was physically carried by the actor John Wayne! You need to read her story. Thank you, Sandy!

FOWL has a long history of collaboration with the University of Maine at Farmington. Professor Dan Buckley (Biology; now retired) served as our scientific advisor for a number of years. Now we are pleased to work with Professors Julia Daly (Geology), Rachel Hovel (Biology), and Jesse Minor (Geography) as they continue research on Wilson Lake and its watershed.

As an example of that collaboration, in this issue are the results of a Wilson Stream assessment conducted by Professor Minor’s Physical Geography class, Fall Semester 2018. We were impressed with the students’ enthusiasm, knowledge, and skills.

I would like to highlight some important, upcoming events.

T

he winter newsletter kicks off our annual membership drive. This was done many years ago so that members could be certain for which year’s membership they were contributing. I have tried to be creative in this newsletter with these articles. Last year we likened FOWL to the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life” with Jimmie Stewart and showed how Wilton would have faired over the years without the emergence of FOWL. We concluded that without FOWL, Wilton would have been a different place.

This year let’s look at FOWL membership from a different perspective. Let’s consider how our organization is benefited from our members. In the year 2008 our membership first reached 300. Since that time our membership has remained quite constantly near the 300 level with a high of 315 and low of 267.

More significantly, let’s look at the donations from this membership group. In 2008 our member donations (amounts above the $12 family dues level) were $1770. The last two years have shown significant donation impact in 2017 to $4400 and in 2018 to over $5000. These are serious increases, which allow us to continue to contribute to the impact on our water quality.

Even more significant and not included in the above numbers, we had two families each contribute $1500 for the purchase of data loggers after last year’s annual meeting when we mentioned that we were only able to fund one such logger of the 5 we had planned. Also, we had another family contribute $10,000 without restrictions, in memory of their family members who lived on the lake and had passed on. As we are a rapidly aging community, it is reasonable to expect that we will have future legacy gifts from the wills and trusts of our membership. I know that many of us have expressed that FOWL was mentioned in their family will or trust. What better way to continue to express your support for this wonderful lake and assure its quality for future family members, than a donation upon your passing.

Another benefit from our membership is the extended family support. Many of you have invited your families and friends who also support our lake to join in our membership. I am aware of over a dozen instances of extended family membership in FOWL and there are likely others of which I am unaware.

I have no way to assess the memberships of your friends, but you do. If you have non-lake friends among the membership list, let us know who they are. We appreciate your and their support. I have

What does this all mean? It means that we have more people (members) to help us take care of our lake. It means that more people (members) are aware that a lake needs tender loving care from its users so that they do not become abusers. It means we have more people (members) with business contacts to help us involve the business community in our efforts. It means that we have more people (members) with contacts to local schools and organizations to provide students, scouts, and other helpers to assist us in these water quality efforts. This is why we constantly need new members. I cannot stress this enough.

Our membership costs only $12 for a family for the entire year. The only obligation is to pay one’s dues, but we hope you would consider reading our newsletters and even come to our annual meeting in July at Kineowatha Park. This year it will be on Sunday July 21st at 1:00 at the Reunion Building. Put it on your calendar right now so you will not forget. If you are looking at the attached list of members and notice that your neighbor or friend who use Wilson Lake, or even just enjoy viewing the lake and mountains from the foot of the lake at Bass Park, are not currently a member, then ask them to join. They will be happy they did!! A copy of your dues bill for 2019 is enclosed with this edition. If you receive only electronic copies, you can mail your dues and donation to us at: FOWL, PO Box 560, Wilton, Me. 04294.

Sandy Muller – Chairman of FOWL

S

peaking of membership, you should be introduced to my wife, Sandy. Most of you know her, but do not necessarily know her background or her significant involvement with FOWL. Yes, she is and has been the membership chairman since we retired in 1999. She has also chaired the Blueberry Festival Boat rides since that time – but she has not driven a boat – too much work controlling the boat loading process. Also, since its inception in 2003, Sandy has coordinated the Courtesy Boat Inspection Adult Support operation, lining up 15 volunteers to work one weekend each in supervising our monitors.

This is an easy job for the support staff, but requires some degree of rearrangement – people do not always follow their plans of 2 months ago. She is also the coordinator of our Annual Meetings, lining up locations at private homes until our attendance got to be too many cars for most homes to accommodate and we hence moved to Kineowatha.

It still involves lining up workers and food and a program, you name it. At that event she chairs the

nominating committee – recruiting new members for our board. Fortunately, many return, but they still need to be asked.

How did this happen? They say that behind every successful man there is a woman. You have read of Martha Washington, Abigail Adams, Mary Todd Lincoln, Nancy Reagan, and Michele Obama. Sandy is similar, but different. When I became the newsletter editor for Ted Keiler in 1999, Sandy continued the task of finding annual meeting locations and also that of keeping Ted on track during the meetings, as presidents tend to ramble. When I became president in 2003, her job increased drastically. She is not just a wife, but also a secretary, administrative assistant, a motivation coach, and much more. More significantly she knows where everyone in Wilton lives, how to contact them at any time, and also knows where I have left my keys and glasses and hearing aids. What more could one ask. When I stepped down and Rob took the gavel, Sandy continued to keep him on course as she had done with me.

Let’s learn a little about Sandy. She is quite outgoing, but less so about her significant background.

She comes as the middle child of five living in suburban Cincinnati, Ohio.

Yes, she is a Reds and Pete Rose fan!

She attended University of Cincinnati School of Nursing and Deaconess Hospital with an RN in late 1960. On her way home from school she encountered a serious accident on the highway and stopped to give first aid. Turns out Sandy Muller. Photo by Wynn Muller the accident involved the State Attorney General and her actions were instrumental in saving his life. She received considerable press for this humanitarian effort.

After graduation she went to Houston, Texas, to train in Cardiovascular Nursing with Dr. DeBakey of heart transplant fame. Upon the completion of the program, she was asked to stay at Methodist Hospital in Houston to work with Dr. DeBakey and that nursing program. As such she assisted in many transplants and met some interesting people along the way. She did private duty nursing for Mrs. Walter continued next page

Page 4 – Vol 12 Iss 1 – February 2019

Fondren, widow of the founder of the Exxon Oil Company who had a private suite on reserve at Methodist Hospital, much of which was funded through the Fondren Foundation, which she founded in 1948. Sandy also did private duty nursing for the Duke of Windsor, who gave up the British throne in 1936 to marry an American divorcee. She also treated the former Secretary of the Interior under Truman, Oscar Chapman, and had the distinction of travelling back to Washington with him on Air Force One. And if that is not enough for one young lady, she decided to become the nurse for the movie, Hell Fighters, with John Wayne. While she hoped to get to treat Wayne, in fact she was the only casualty and Wayne had to carry her back to the field hospital. Of course, I would have been more interested in seeing Katharine Ross than Wayne.

Sandy and I married in Houston in 1970, in the Methodist Hospital Chapel of course, with the hospital president driving Mrs. Fondren to attend the wedding. The next year I was transferred to St. Louis and Sandy took on her new position of Assistant Director of Nursing for Missouri Baptist Hospital, near our home in Creve Coeur. After two years in St. Louis, that had the definite advantage of being within six hours driving distance of my family home in Illinois and Sandy’s in Cincinnati, I was again transferred to Hartford in May of 1973, which was close to Maine.

Sandy moved her nursing administration career to Hartford Hospital and then to Manchester Hospital as Vice President of Nursing Services. Finally she moved on to administration of Long Term Care facilities, not an especially great move at the time.

After her Houston exploits, what could she get into in central Connecticut? Well, let’s see. She became the Chairman of the Republican Town Committee, twice. Also, she was the Chair of the Board of Education and member of the Sewer Commission, both for over 10 years. She was twice president of the Cromwell Junior Women and received their town wide recognition as Woman of the Year in 1998. She served as Governor Roland’s appointee as Chair of the Commission on Aging for six years. All this while she was raising Marc and Mike to their present successes. Marc works with Bloomberg Financial in New York and lives in Tolland, Ct. with wife Kimberly. Their daughter, Lainey, our first grandchild, is a freshman at Syracuse University. Mike is a partner with the firm of Morgan, Lewis, & Bockius in Boston and lives with wife, Laura and our first grandsons, Bradley, 7, and Gavin, 5, in Hingham, Mass. Finally, she continues with her love of children. First, she spent 20 years teaching a course in babysitting to 7th and 8th graders. Now, in retirement she keeps her

hand in nursing as the nurse for a day care facility.

Life is always interesting in the Muller household.

How Does Wilson Stream Impact the Water Quality of Wilson Lake?

— Wilson Stream Survey, Conducted by UMF Students, Fall Semester 2018.

Overview by Editor

T

he study was conducted by students in Dr. Jesse Minor’s Fall 2018 University of Maine at Farmington class on Physical Geography, with a report presented to the public at UMF in December 2018. The entire report is available on our website under “Articles,” (http://www.friendsofwilsonlake. org) and what follows is a condensed version of the report. Reference materials and the various graphic displays are not reproduced here, but can be seen on the website. The report gives a wonderful display of the tools used in conducting a stream survey and it provides a good discussion by the students (in their own words) of the findings within Wilson Stream. It is also a testament to the students’ engagement and thoroughness. I believe you will find it most interesting.

that have a significant detrimental impact on the water quality of the stream. Many were noted in the Wilson Lake Watershed Survey of September 2016 (on our website). Also, as shown in figure 3 of their material, the “vegetative delta” at the mouth of Wilson Stream has grown considerably over the past 20 years. The “delta” represents over 50 acres of surface area, or more than 10% of the entire surface area of the lake. This suggests the drastic increase of sediment flowing from Wilson Stream into Wilson Lake since 1998.

ABSTRACT or Executive Summary The purpose of this study was to determine if Wilson Stream was the main cause of a decline in water quality of Wilson Lake in Wilton, Maine. We examined factors such as stream width, vegetation buffers and erosion along the banks within the reaches we were assigned. A variety of forms were used to survey separate reaches of Wilson Stream and its tributaries including two biological assessments, a rapid geomorphic assessment, and two stream corridor assessments. Biological assessments looked at the variet-

I have included the student’s Abstract, their procedure for the Biological Assessment and their information on the Importance of the Research, Major Insights and recommendation for Future Research.

The Biological Assessment is included to provide a sound description of the detailed work they did in collecting various species of macroinvertebrates. In the interest of space for this newsletter, I have not included their presentation of the other assessment methodologies or their discussion and results other than what appears in the Abstract. For this information, please see our website at the above link. While you are there, you might want to peruse some other interesting topics as well.

Wilson Stream commences at Hills Pond just north of Bald Mountain in Perkins Township and generally follows Route 156 in a southeasterly direction for about 8 miles until it flows into the north end of Wilson Lake just after the Pond Road Bridge in the Foothills Land Trust area. Notable tributaries to Wilson Stream are Anderson, Townsend, and Temple Brooks. Throughout its flow from Hills Pond, Wilson Stream encounters many road-crossing structures

ies of macroinvertebrates in the stream using three collection methods and categorizing species based on their known tolerance to pollution. Macroinvertebrates species reflect the degree of water pollution, thus identifying stream health of a determined reach.

Stream corridor assessments took measurements related to stream health and observed any degradation. Rapid geomorphic assessments were used for recording evidence of erosion, sediment sources and deposits, and other geologic degradation to the

stream corridor. Results of our biological assessments found no abundance of macroinvertebrates 77% of the time. The remaining 23% of the time there was an abundance of macroinvertebrates collected within the stream reaches finding species common within healthy streams. No macroinvertebrates collected were more than somewhat tolerant of pollution, most being very intolerant. Each stream reach was given a water quality rating ranging between one and four, based on macroinvertebrates found within said reach.

Going by the ratings given at the completion of the biological assessments, water quality is relatively low, but this can be attributed to the factors considered on the assessments. We find that Wilson Stream is not degraded, and is worthy of further and more targeted research. In conclusion we found that while Wilson Stream is contributing to sediment transport into Wilson Lake, this would be recommended for problem area remediation rather than source identification as contributing to the lake’s overall decline.

Biological Assessments The biological assessments selected for our study used some of the species of macroinvertebrates present in the stream as a proxy for stream pollution. Organisms were separated into categories based upon their tolerances of pollution. Three collection styles were used by each team to attain

a representative sample of macroinvertebrates from the stream. Teams collected macroinvertebrates through stick picking, rock-rubbing, and leaf pack sorting. Most materials used in the collection process are white, to aid in the location and collection of macroinvertebrates.

Sticks exceeding 1 centimeter in diameter, which had obviously been submerged for extended periods, were removed from the stream. The team, using fingers and paintbrush handles, carefully removed bark and examined it for macroinvertebrates. Any specimens found were collected in ice cube trays, and categorized using the macroinvertebrate key.

For rock-rubbing at each site, cobbles were selected from each side of the stream bank, from the center of the stream, and from midpoint between bank and center. To decrease the chance of potential samples being washed off the cobble as it was retrieved, flat pieces of wood or bark were held perpendicular to the current directly in front of the rock as it was picked up. After each cobble was collected it was turned over to the team who removed any macroinvertebrates present, and placed each sample within a cubicle of the ice tray.

Before each leaf pack was collected, a bucket was filled approximately halfway with water. Leaves, which had been submerged for an extended period, were located; one fistful was retrieved and placed in the bucket. The container was returned to the team on land and mixed well before carefully removing the leaves by hand. The water and any macroinverte-

brates, which remained, were poured out in batches into a tray in a shallow layer. Macroinvertebrates were transferred to an ice cube tray by paintbrush.

Once the ice cube tray was full, organisms were identified using a macroinvertebrate key. The types continued next page

of macroinvertebrates and the number of each were tallied. Those factors, when applied to the chosen macroinvertebrate surveys, gave a biological water quality rating. Leaf pack sorting resulted in the most varied and plentiful collections of macroinvertebrates.

What was Important About the Research?

Research on the declining water quality in Wilson Lake is increasingly important, as this is an area with 131 shoreline properties, a park/ beach and has a priority watershed designation from the State of Maine. A decline in water quality can deter people from using the lake, cause ecological problems, and it can spread to other watersheds. Our research on Wilson Stream and its tributaries was a key part in the research on declining water quality, because Wilson Stream flows directly into Wilson Lake. The Friends of Wilson Lake (FOWL) watershed association wanted research conducted on Wilson Stream because they thought it was one of the main sources of this decline.

Major Insights or Messages This study was an eye-opening experience for students, which allowed for us to all develop as geographers and learn new skills. Results for this study may not prove to be as conclusive as originally hoped for but do go to show that Wilson Stream is not a major influence upon Wilson Lake and its declining water clarity problems. Much of the streams total reach could still be surveyed for places contributing to sediment transport into Wilson Lake, yet this would be for problem area remediation rather than source identification of what’s contributing to lake greening. Overall, Wilson Stream can be considered fairly healthy and other factors should be looked at as to why Wilson Lake has declining water clarity within the watershed.

FOWL Named 2018 Lake Association of the Year

by Rob Lively as published in local newspapers.

F

riends of Wilson Lake (FOWL) is very pleased to be named the 2018 Lake Association of the Year by the Maine Lakes Society. Said Jen Jespersen, President of Maine Lakes Society, with why FOWL was chosen: “FOWL stood out among the many highly successful lake associations across the state for the recent work they’ve completed to protect Wilson Lake. This includes conducting a watershed survey for three watersheds in Wilton, developing a Watershed Protection Plan, running a successful LakeSmart program, engaging the community in lake education activities, and obtaining a $70,000 federal grant to work with the town and landowners to reduce the amount of runoff getting into Wilson Lake.

FOWL is a leader in lake protection, living up to their mission, and inspiring other lake associations across the state to be proactive in protecting our valuable freshwater resources.”

The award included a painting by the Farmington artist, Lucia Swallow. In recognition of the close relationship between FOWL and the Town of Wilton, the painting is displayed at the Wilton Town Office and the accompanying picture shows Rhonda Irish, Wilton Town Manager, accepting the painting from Rob Lively, President of FOWL. Also in the picture is Jen Jespersen, President of the Maine Lakes Society. Everyone is invited to view the painting at the Town Office.

Future Research Due to the vast visually-based research methods of this study it would be useful for future research to be conducted on a more detailed/ data level. One for which the water quality is tested and examined more closely, as well as soil samples to allow for the understanding of what minerals and chemicals are being deposited in the stream and therefore the lake. Other important research opportunities would be to return to the stream at different times of the year to record the differences in water quality and aquatic life at these times. This would avoid our biased conclusion from conducting these tests in late fall alone. With current results showing the quality health of the stream attention should be turned toward Wilson Lake itself.
