This
peaceful scene is Ballard Park in Melbourne, Florida, one of my
favorite places. It is part of the Indian River Lagoon, our very
endangered waterway that is suffering from years of pollution. It is a
hot-button issue around here. In the 70s you could see clammers galore
in the river; now you see none. I've been told by people who were here
many years ago that the water was once clear. Now it is brown murk. Our
new governor promises better water quality in Florida; we'll see.
