(and new pages under construction) +++ FROM HARD NEWS TO POETRY and SOLILOQUY: Carol Heller Nation emphasized the terra firma side of life working and freelancing as a newspaper - magazine - newsletter reporter and editor, and as a government public affairs writer-editor, and speech writer. Topics include: hunger and homelessness, poverty and welfare, prison reform, church programs, disabilities, mental retardation and illness, special education, school board meetings and budgets and desegregation programs, health and medical issues, traffic - highways - bicycle routes and mass transportation, the urban infrastructure and tree canopy, drinking water, storm-water-drainage systems, sewage disposal and water treatment, street construction and maps, hazardous materials disposal, solid waste collection, environmental recycling programs, municipal snow and ice control, air and water pollution, the tourism industry ... and more. Nation's resume includes reporting/writing/editing and design/production (starting in high school at the Mulvane (KS) Weekly News), at the Topeka (KS) Daily Capital, University of Kansas Public Affairs Office, Kansas City Kansan, University Daily Kansan, Wichita (KS) Eagle-Beacon (where she also wrote editorial page columns and much of her work was carried by the Associated Press), Abilene (TX) Reporter-News, Texas Bar Journal, Texas Highways & Tourism Department, Texas Highways magazine, University of Texas Geological Survey Commission, University of Texas Historical Survey Commission, Texas Education Agency, Texas Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation and Prison Reform, Texas Parade history/tourism magazine, John Henry Faulk's "Austin on the Go" magazine and ad agency, and the public affairs offices of the Arlington County (VA) Public Works Department and the county manager's office. She also freelances, and has researched and written numerous news reports for NAESP (National Association of Elementary School Principals), including school safety tips --- BEFORE the violent Columbine crisis; and Stratton Publishing Co., including a feature which included a memorable tour of CIA headquarters. Online, however, Nation mostly looks at the softer side of life ~~~ writing soliloquy and poetry, incorporating painting and illustration and photography. She writes and designs webpages about nature, wildlife and pets and people, flowers and faith, prairie life and small towns, cities and neighborhoods, and life, love, and loss. You are invited to stroll through her work at Carol's Cameos. And yes, she hails from Kansas, and many friends call her Carnation and/or Carry Nation. (Note: if readers encounter any references to "Carol's Cameros," this is merely a wistful typo.) +++ |
