"'Hie strength or weakness of a
society depends more on the
level ot its spiritual lite than on
iIk* level of its industrial i/a
tion."

Rebuilding Russia 1991
Along witli millions ol other
Americans, I was mcsmcri/.ed hy
die Thomas hearings over national
television. At lirst revolted hy the
sickening sight of pompous, arro
gant and incompetent Senators,
there was to he, happily, a much
brighter side to this charade. What
an inspiration it was to sec the pro
cession of intelligent, articulate and
attractive black Americans speaking
with conviction about character.
There may be a sleaze in Wall
Street and Washington, but I am still
a believer that this is a great country
and a great people once you get
away front "inside die Beltway."
Here is what Arthur Gray, Jr.,
President of Dreyfus Personal Man
agement, Inc. had to say a couple
years ago:
"So let us get on with the job that
wc have to do. History has taught
us again and again that those who do
enjoy freedom will lose that free
dom unless they accept the responsi
bility that goes with it. 'Hie bald
truth is that our Congress, both
Republicans and Democrats alike,
virtually all 535 of them, along with
their 30,(XX) support staffers have
been acting irresponsibly far tot)
long. There just may be a clean one
or two in the tub. but the water is so
dirty the tub must be drained."
-January 15. 1990
In my opinion, the above quote is
applicable to Brunswick County.
Let's hope that in America peo
plc-power will once again prevail in

Be Aware Of The
Natural Reflections
HY Itll. I. KAVKU
( >no of the ways we can help to develop an awareness of the natural
world around us is to look for reflections in nature. It
is sometimes surprising what you may find and much
of it will be related to the water we have in abundance
Sm our county.
i Waves washing the beach sand make a reflective
- surface lor many species ot birds we find feeding
along the shore. Shells rolling in on the waves also re
^ fleet in the wet sand. Sometimes the gold and reds and
/lavendars ol sunrise or sunset bathe the reflections
with some special color. Sometimes pools of clear wa
.. v?, |. tcr along the beach rcllecl blue sky and white clouds
with a richness hard to overlook.
Calm waters ol canals and the waterway make excellent mirrors for
herons and egrets and pelicans pcrched on a piling or standing by the
shore. Even slight ripples caused by a light breeze can give a special ef
fect to a reflected image.
Once I was attending a nature photography workshop in Florida's
Everglades when 1 began noticing the varieties ol calm rcllcctions around
us. When the lime came to choose an assignment to photograph. 1 chose
rcllcctions, thinking it would be easy to do. During the night a storm
came through and the next day was cool and windy. Gone were the de
tailed rcllcctions on calm water I had planned to photograph. I completed
the assignment, with difficulty, by finding some water-filled stump holes
reflecting palm tans and a secluded lagoon with reflected grasses along
the banks.
Reflections can give us another perspective on a common subject.
Notice the natural reflections around you and become more aware of what
you sec mirrored in the canals and streams and along the wet beach sand.
