Saving the Beautiful Lake a quest for hope
The Great Lakes are truly inland seas. A fifth of our planet's surface fresh water resides within them. They have
shaped the destinies of two nations and built vast wealth.
Yet they are in trouble. And of all the Great Lakes, Ontario is the worst off. Its story is the story of freshwater everywhere, beset by
conflicting demands, industrial legacies of pollution and energy production, and ever increasing human needs. This lake can still be at least partly restored. But we are running out of time to do so.
This is an environmental case study of Lake Ontario, the most polluted great lake- how it got that way, what is being done and what more must be done to restore it.

Twinkle Toes and The Riddle of the Lake
A
cat's place is at home in her garden not out on a great lake getting
wet or so thinks Twinkle Toes when she's shanghaied aboard the yacht
Ariel for a cruise to Canada along with her mother Dusty and
her cousin Miss Piggy. But then Twink learns of a mystery and the
quickest way to get home is to solve it. In her quest for knowledge,
Twink and the rest of the crew have to elude the Wind Witch of the
Lake and find their way to Main Duck Island the most remote island on
the lake. Unfortunately, Skipper Sue is a lousy navigator...
Riddle
includes Skipper Sue's notebook, a collection of short environmental
and historical articles for “grownups” and advanced readers. Part
One is written at a 5 to 6 grade reading level, Part Two (like all my
books) is at about grade 7 level. 223 pages illustrated paperback, glossary, and references
“It
begins as a delightful tale of sailing as seen from the perspective
of pet cats, but becomes a serious wake-up call alerting about the
dangers facing one of our most precious natural resources..."
Jeffrey
C. Freedman, Ph.D., SUNY Upstate Medical University and Past
Commodore, Onondaga Yacht Club;
“Great
effort. I loved it.” Jean Siracusa ecologist
“A
quirky fun book that made me think about the lake. “
