Prologue

January, 1969 – Santa Barbara California

The oil spill disaster occurred at Santa Barbara. There was an explosion and the oil drilling platform began to leak. 200,000 gallons of crude oil seeped into the clear waters of the Pacific Ocean creating an oil slick covering 800 square miles. It continued for eleven days, The incoming tides carried tar from the oil slick onto 35 miles of once-pristine California beaches. Monica was in tears when the wildlife such as birds and seals were covered with oil. Tess said to Monica, "We have an assignment for this. Your assignment is for you to help the wildlife refuge center to clean up the oil from animals."

Monica replied, "What assignment do you have?"

Tess replied, "I have a tough assignment. I have them with oil companies. I know they won't like it because my assignment is to shut down that off-shore drilling."

Two weeks later, Monica went into a little boat with the group known as GOO which means "Get Oil Out." Tess suddenly appeared on her boat. Tess said, "Stop wasting time on that protest. We need to get to oil companies to stop oil dwelling. I'm going to be a judge at the court hearing and make sure we shut down that operation."

Tess came into a courtroom and was a judge for the hearing. Bill, Dick, Dave, and Stan are presidents of different oil companies. Tess said, "I have the order to shut down those off-
shore oil wells."

Bill replied angrily, "Shutting down those wells means loss of business and profits. If this happens, the stock market will crash. There will be at least 25 percent of unemployment."

Tess replied, "It's not going to happen that way. There'll be plenty of jobs on cleaning up the environment. Beside, fossil fuel is unhealthy. It's time we find a new source of energy and it can be done."

Stan replied, "I have never seen Tess as judge before. She probably belongs to Sierra Club. I'm sure that's the reason for shutting down."

Tess replied, "The decision is final! The off-shore dwellings are shut down! Court adjourned!"

After the hearing finished, Monica was discussing this kind of issue to Tess. Tess said, "I'm glad I'm done with them. Those people have only one interest, Money and profit. They have no respect for anyone. They don't even care about air pollution."

Monica replied, "We got some of the birds and seals cleaned up. Many of them didn't survive. Maybe we could move to another assignment."
