September 3, 2014, marks two im- portant 50th anniversaries: the sign- ing of the Wilderness Act and the establishment of the Land and Wa- ter Conservation Fund. Since Pres- ident Lyndon Johnson signed both pieces of legislation in 1964, Amer- icans in all 50 states, across thou- sands of rural and urban communi- ties, have reaped the benefits of ac- cessible outdoor recreation opportu- nities and protected natural areas. Together, these landmark pieces of legislation helped to usher in a new era for conservation. The Wilderness Act protects wild and scenic undeveloped land across the United States for the benefit of all. Today, the National Wilderness Preservation System includes more than 750 wilderness areas covering almost 110 million acres. The Act works alongside the Land and Water Conservation Fund, which supports federal, state and local gov- ernments in purchasing priority rec- reation and wildlife habitat lands and waters from willing sellers. Nation- wide, the Land and Water Conserva- tion Fund has supported over 40,000 state and local projects, protecting seven million acres of working for- ests and ranches, wilderness, and world-class recreational lands. For example, the Land and Wa- ter Conservation Fund helps to support an on- going Forest Service purchasing program to acquire wetlands in the North Florida Wild- life Corridor, which pro- vides freshwater sup- plies for nearly 20 mil- lion Floridians and Georgians and provides habitat for migratory wa- terfowl, bobcat, black bear and many species of threatened or endangered wildlife. The Fund helps to protect these natural resources while also benefiting local communities that depend on the 800,000 -plus tour- ists who visit these public lands and waters each year. More than 40,000 acres within the 170,000 -acre wild- life corridor have been protected, thanks to the Fund. The Land and Water Conserva- tion Fund achieves results while us- ing no taxpayer dollars. Instead, the Fund uses earnings from offshore oil and gas leasing to help protect sensitive lands. That's good, but since its incep- tion, the program has been consis- tently underfunded. A 2009 analy- sis by the Trust for Pub- lic Land indicates that ev- ery dollar invested in land conservation through the Land and Water Conser- vation Fund creates $4 in economic value—imag- ine what could be done if the Fund was used at its full potential. As we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Land and Water Conservation Fund, we look back to successful conser- vation efforts, but we also look for- ward to the needs of growing num- bers of Americans who want to en- joy America's great outdoors. That is why President Obama has called on Congress to fully and permanent- ly fund this important law so that even more can be done to ensure that future generations have pro- tected and accessible places to play and that rural and urban communi- ties can continue to benefit from the economic opportunity provided by proximity to premiere natural and recreational lands.

We have not yet had a Jewish president. If and when we do, does that mean that any criticism of that individual should be stig- matized and dismissed as anti-Semitism? What of our first Italian American president, our first Asian American president? Human beings of every background are imperfect creatures. When they are in a position high enough for their imperfections to bring disasters to more than 300 million Americans, the last thing we need is to stifle crit- icism of what they do. It is by no means guaran- teed that this country will survive the long-run conse- quences of the disastrous decisions already made by Barack Obama, espe- cially his pretense of stop- ping Iran's becoming a nuclear power. Obama may no longer be in office when those chick- ens come home to roost. If we wake up some morn- ing and find some American city in radioactive ruins, will we connect the dots and see this as a consequence of vot- ing to elect an unknown and untried man, for the sake of racial symbolism? Among those who look around for someone to blame, how many will look in the mirror? Presidents already have too much insulation from criticism—and from reality. When President Calvin Coolidge caught everyone by surprise in 1928, by an- nouncing that he would not run for reelection, despite a prosperous economy and his own personal populari- ty, he simply said, "I do not choose to run." Coolidge was a man of very few words, de- spite his knowledge of mul- tiple languages. Someone once said that Coolidge could be silent in five different languages. But, when he later wrote a small autobiography, Coolidge explained the in- herent dangers in the office of President of the United States, especially when one person remains in the White House too long. "It is difficult for men in high office to avoid the mal- ady of self-delusion. They are always surrounded by worshippers. They are con- stantly, and for the most part sincerely, assured of their greatness. "They live in an artifi- cial atmosphere of adula- tion and exaltation which sooner or later impairs their judgment. They are in grave danger of becoming careless and arrogant." Of presidents who served eight years in office, he said, "in almost every instance" the last years of their terms show little "constructive ac- complishments" and those years are often "clouded with grave disappointments." Another president cho- sen for demographic repre- sentation (whether by race, sex or whatever), and fur- ther insulated from criticism and from reality, is the last thing we need. she would not have been so successful." There are many more Jor- dans out there. Ones who are on the path to success because of school choice options, along with many others who will likely fail because they were denied the ability to get the best education possible. School choice helps ev- eryone. The children who go to a school of their fam- ily's choosing will obvious- ly benefit, but so will the children who remain in these schools, which must then start competing for stu- dents. In short, they've got to get better—or go out of business. Unions who want to keep checking boxes may not like this, but it's good news for everyone else. We shouldn't rest until every family is able to pick the best school for their chil- dren. We owe it to the Jor- dans out there. We owe it to their parents. And we owe it to our nation.

To The Editor: The recently released proposal by the Environ- mental Protection Agency to reduce carbon emissions will have a lasting impact on the lives of every Amer- ican. While the impact of the rule will be felt most harshly in the coal fields, make no mistake: the rip- pling effect will be felt by everyone. The nation has spent un- told sums of taxpayer dol- lars to support unreliable solar and wind energy that cannot survive without sig- nificant taxpayer subsidies. Meanwhile, power plants will be forced to switch to natural gas, the current- ly preferred alternative to coal. The American public will be subjected to the shortag- es and price spikes that will inevitably follow. The risks of brownouts and blackouts are very real. Further, the inevitable release of natu- ral gas into the atmosphere from this increased usage will wipe out any of the ben- efits of this EPA plan: the heat trapping capability of natural gas is 20 times greater than CO2. I simply cannot believe that an agency of the gov- ernment would knowingly subject the whole of its cit- izens to such a misguided and misrepresented plan. This proposed rule needs to be withdrawn or rewrit- ten, and the sooner the bet- ter for everyone's sake. Sincerely, Daniel J. Seitz President Local 4343 The Press-Dispatch Wednesday, September 10, 2014 D-5
