In secret, behind locked gates, our Nation's Oldest City dumped a landfill in a lake (Old City Reservoir), while emitting sewage in our rivers and salt marsh. Organized citizens exposed and defeated pollution, racism and cronyism. We elected a new Mayor. We're transforming our City -- advanced citizenship. Ask questions. Make disclosures. Demand answers. Be involved. Expect democracy. Report and expose corruption. Smile! Help enact a St. Augustine National Park and Seashore. We shall overcome!

President Jimmy Carter
Jimmy Carter was one of our greatest Presidents. He said, "Our energy problems have the same cause as our environmental problems -- wasteful use of resources. Conservation helps us solve both problems at once." He was a man of peace and brotherhood, who helped America recover from the White House horrors of the Nixon-Ford years. I was proud to help Senator Jim Sasser support President Carter's energy proposals, with constructive amendments, in 1977, and prouder still years later to write a biography of President Carter for younger readers, for Chelsea House Publishers World Leaders Series (forward by Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.). We pray for his recovery.
