Telling the Story of Our Waters: A Data-Driven Look at Liberty's Lakes

On Friday, July 11th, the Citizens' Association of Liberty Lakes (CALL) was honored to welcome Jeremy Deeds from Maine DEP as the guest speaker at our Annual Meeting. Jeremy’s presentation offered an insightful and data-driven look at the current state of our area’s lakes and waterways, highlighting both the progress we've made and the challenges we continue to face. His talk received overwhelmingly positive feedback from attendees, who appreciated not only the depth of information provided but also the clear comparisons to other water bodies across the state. As we all know, data tells a story, and Jeremy helped us better understand the narrative of our local waters, revealing where we stand and where we can go from here. Perhaps most importantly, his presentation sparked renewed energy and commitment to CALL’s mission. Several attendees were inspired to step forward and get involved, making this meeting a true success on all fronts. We’re grateful to Jeremy for sharing his expertise and helping move our efforts forward with clarity, purpose, and momentum. To view the slideshow presentation, see below:

In Memory of CALL Board President Linda Breslin

It is with great sadness that CALL announces the passing of its long-serving leader, Linda Breslin, on November 3, 2022.  Linda served as board president for over 20 years.  She was the proud owner/caretaker of an historic property on Millstone Island in Lake Saint George (see video below), and the moving force behind numerous lake/town projects, notably a watershed survey in 2003 that identified major threats to water quality, the recent repair of dams for both Lake Saint George and Stevens Pond and the establishment of a no-cost summer experience -- Lake Keepers Camp -- teaching area youth about the preserving water quality in our lakes and ponds.  Needless to say, Linda will be greatly missed.
