A popular mnemonic device for teaching school-age children the names of the great lakes is HOMES for Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie and Superior. But if the notion of home is the very exemplar of the familiar and the valued, how ironic that we are so unfamiliar with the lake’s life-processes and, by implication, put so little value on them. What’s in the lake? How often have those of us living next to Lake Ontario or to any of North America’s other “great inland seas” considered the question?
