  • A Naturalist Crosses Lake Pontchartrain
    4-29-17 version 7.5 Source: Greater New Orleans Expressway Commission A NATURALIST CROSSES LAKE PONTCHARTRAIN By Robert A. (Bob) Thomas, Center for Environmental Communication, School of Mass Communication, Loyola University New Orleans (Certified Master Naturalist, Louisiana Master Naturalists of Greater New Orleans Chapter) – [email protected], 504-865-2107 1 4-29-17 version 7.5 A NATURALIST CROSSES LAKE PONTCHARTRAIN By Robert A. Thomas, Center for Environmental Communication, School of Mass Communication, Loyola University New Orleans (Certified Master Naturalist, Louisiana Master Naturalists of Greater New Orleans Chapter) - [email protected], 504-865-2107 OPENING COMMENTS This adventure began from natural history observations as I drove across the Causeway between Metairie and Mandeville, Louisiana. I was amazed at what a naturalist can see while safely driving at 60 mph, and equally amazed by the number of seemingly simple natural history elements for which I had no explanation. I began making notes and, as a naturalist tends to do, expand my knowledge one step at a time. A host of local naturalists were my main resource, and many of them are mentioned herein. For the most part, the following commentary is based on the near surroundings of the Causeway, but additional Lake Pontchartrain stories are added where relevant. Sorry if your interest is peaked and your drive becomes less relaxing and more observant. In the end, it will be good for you and our beloved lake. All photos by me, unless otherwise credited. THE LAKE’S POINT ORANIZATION The steward of the lake is the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation.

From alumni to foundations and friends, the support has been generous. Despite the economic difficulties of the past year, the Faculty—which aims to raise more than $85 million by 2012—was able to count on the goodwill of its supporters. Among the notable gifts was a seven-figure donation by Richard Hart , PhD’70, for Science fellowships . Hart, a longtime supporter of the Faculty and a member of the Faculty’s advisory board since 2000, was awarded the Distinguished Service Award by the Alumni Association in 2004. David Pelletier , BSc ’72, also established a Fellowship in Mathematics in December 2008, which was matched by McConnell Matching Funds. Like Hart, Pelletier is a longtime advisory board member, and his family includes a long list of McGill alumni.

  • The Lake in Your Community
    G3216 The lake in your community Lowell L. Klessig Nicolaas W. Bouwes Douglas A. Yanggen Lakes are blue jewels that add diversity to the landscape. Lakes provide opportunities for outdoor recreation. For these reasons, shoreline lots are prized as homesites. But lakes are also fragile. Increasing use of a lake and its shorelines can strain the delicate ecosystem and cause problems. The major prob- lems include algae blooms, nuisance weeds, silta- tion, winterkill of fish, loss of attractive wooded shorelines, and conflicts among lake users. To avoid or reduce these problems, lakes and their watersheds must be managed. This booklet is de- signed for property owners, lake district commis- sioners, civic leaders and local officials with active interest in lakes in their communities. It describes the basic ecology of lakes, lake problems and solu- tions, the role citizens play in protecting lakes, benefits and costs of lake management, and how communities can receive assistance in managing lakes. A lake ecosystem is a community of interacting animals, plants and microorganisms and the Properties of Water physical and chemical environment in which they live.

One day, he meets Michel (Christophe Paou), an attractive yet darkly mysterious man and falls blindly in love. When a death occurs, Frank and Michel become the primary suspects but they choose to ignore the dangers and instead continue to engage in their passionate and potentially lethal relationship. STRANGER BY THE LAKE is an erotic thriller that tests the lengths and limits of sexual desire. INTERVIEW WITH DIRECTOR ALAIN GUIRAUDIE The film made me think of Georges Bataille: eroticism, sexuality, pornography, the fascination of evil… What a way to begin! I think it would be an exaggeration to say that Bataille was at the origin of the script.
