The Niagara Falls Book Circle is heading into the belly of the beast.
At 6 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 27. There is no evidence Niagara University has been negatively impacted by the adjacent massive toxic landfill that dwarfs the size of Love Canal and drains into the Niagara River Gorge through Bloody Run, an intermittent stream adjacent to the Devil’s Hole Stairs.
The book to be discussed is Thundering Waters, by Christen Civiletto, an attorney and expert on the toxic legacy in our midst.
Civiletto put over two decades of research into this book. Since it was just released on June 30th and many were not able to get a copy of the book (or read it in it's entirety if they did) before our July event, we decided to cover it in August and Christen has been gracious enough to make time to attend and present once again. She'll provide additional information, provide updates on recent events, answer questions and sign books.
The attached flyer has the event details. It's not too late to pick up a copy of the book using the discount code Princeton Press has provided just for our event.
The Book Corner is also working on getting in more copies (Jeff quickly sold out after last month’s event).
Sunny, with a high of 84 and low of 60 degrees. Sunny during the morning, clear overnight.
This seems so ridiculously obvious, I wonder if the idea has ever been seriously broached before! If that revenue could be judiciously applied to also enhance the tourist experience, it would result in more visitor retention and even more $$$ spent on this side.
A great idea, but who would make sure such largesse, if actually obtained, is not wasted like so much has been over the decades? Waste like Urban Renewal of the 60's, a/k/a destruction of downtown, Wintergarden, then its demolition, Convention Center, now owned by the Senecas to settle the lawsuit, and on and on.
I loved this show! Wish I'd had time to go back on Sunday. Picked up some beadwork and French Pressley stickers and of course, a slice of DiCamillo pizza. Such a chill vibe, plenty of room to roam, and parking was easy.
If you join the Council on the Arts you get fun invitations to things like the member reception before the Philharmonic concert
