Name:  Scott Lowell Email:   salowell@maine.rr.com Role:   Phone:  428-3271 (H) District:  00-2 Meet Scott Lowell, President of the LSLA. Scott first became aquainted with Little Sebago when his folks bought property on the middle lake near Grape Island in 1977. At that time, Scott lived in Carrabassett Vally, near Sugarloaf where he had lived since college, working as a building contractor. His trips to the lake during the late 70's and 80's were mostly in the summers for visits with his parents and family. Occasionally during that time, he came to enjoy the winter solitude of lake while cross country skiing. This was, however a challenge, because until 1986, the Mountainview/Ramsdell Rd. connection was not plowed in the winter and cross country skis or snow mobile were the only access. In 1989, the downturn in real estate and the poor economy found less people expending money on second homes in Sugarloaf area. This presented an opportunity to do some building in Gray for a former customer. The summer camp became home base during this process. As time passed, more and more business became based in Gray. A health problem with Scott's mom and a new relationship with a little redhead that Scott adored helped make the decision to move to Gray permanently in 1991. In 1992, Scott started the construction of his residence on the property that his folks had owned on the lake for 15 years. Scott and family moved into the house in the spring of 1994 with no heat, no interior doors, no finished rooms, plastic for shower walls and concrete floors. Eight years later, there are still a few items to be completed but it is a truly comfortable living space for Scott, his wife Carolyn and son, Jesse. As a lake resident, former forestry major, contractor and long time municipal volunteer, it is obvious to Scott that the health of the lake is inseparable from the people and uses on and around it. He has long been a believer that we all have stewardship responsibilites to the world we live in and taking care of the lake in front of your home is a way you can make a contribution to the bigger picture. Becoming a board member of the LSLA has allowed him to use some of his knowledge and experience and take an active part in the management of the lake. Additionally, it has given him the opportunity to meet with some incredibly intelligent, progressive and committed people. His experience with the association has also been a learning opportunity that has heightened his awareness of the issues that affect the lake and made him a better lake shore resident. Scott is on the Watershed Survey Steering committee,the Governors Invasives Task Force,the Milfoil Militia,Environmental affairs,and Hippo protocol and maintenance.
