MY BOOK IS GAINING TRACTION

This could possibly be viewed as a a tad ironic. Oh well it could also be viewed as ironic that I have off and on for several years been involved with Dr. Dan Holt in speaking at local schools regarding the 1989 Elmira Water Crisis. There likely still are a few uninformed individuals who accepted at face value inaccurate comments made about me by a small group at a now long closed public school decades ago. In fact this latest publicity about my book (Elmira Water Woes: The Triumph of Corruption, Deceit and Citizen Betrayal) that has been published in a retired teachers' newsletter may be very fitting. Certainly I have nothing but praise and appreciation for my friend and colleague who submitted his review of my book to the Winter 22 issue of Experient. ........................................................................................................................ My book is on Amazon/Kindle and I believe it's actually in two different sections namely Environmental Law and Environmental Science. Twice it actually was the number one seller in it's category although that was based on sales over a very narrow time frame. Apparently one can read the first three chapters for free and from feedback that I have received it's been well received and appreciated. Past the first three chapters requires $9.99 being sent to Amazon which then gives you access to the entire book. I view my book through the lens of having been there literally for decades including major pre-advertised public meetings as well as regular monthly meetings between Uniroyal/Crompton/Chemtura, the Ministry of Environment (MOE/MECP) and local involved citizens and stakeholders. These public in person meetings, until Covid, were attended for decades by the media including the Elmira Independent, Woolwich Observer (1995-2005) and sometimes the K-W Record. ...................................................................................................................................... A large part of the book looks at evidence that conflicts with the official, political view. The book explores frankly quite blatantly bad and deceptive behaviour by municipal (mostly) and regional politicians as well as by our provincial ones. It explores how "do nothing" and "delay" are often the action of first choice of our politicians. Yes an appropriately outraged public can produce positive results but unfortunately when they are outraged with multi national, multi billion dollar corporations it is exceedingly difficult.
