Lewistown is not unique in having contamination problems, but what is unique is the way the community faced up to the issue. They got together and faced it head on.

On a list of a hundred environmental problems in my community, this would probably be somewhere around 98.

What is equally striking to me is this ... there isn't a sense of a community solving problems together, rather there's punishment for aberrant individuals.

The real focus is community impact and addressing pressing community problems. We like to see ourselves as a community solutions provider. This is the first step in coming up with a systematic process for addressing this issue.

Bringing the Hispanic community into the school and unifying it, we would be able to solve a lot of problems.

Economically, unless we rejoin the international community and make amends with the countries we isolated ourselves from, our problems will remain with us.
