Summer camp season is in full swing - and one camp has some special guests.
More than 60 campers took over Tall Oaks Conference Center near Linwood June 8th thru 14th. All are living with some form of muscular dystrophy. For them, the week is their one chance of the year to be just like everyone else.
The smile on 6-year old Rudy's face was all a person had to see to know the experience was having its intended effect. He and his new friend Clayton danced around in the mist from a fire hose, at times riding on their counselors' backs. Rudy said seeing the fire hose in action and witnesses a parade of fire trucks had been his favorite event of the week - so far!
17-year old Adam Maciejewski had a different view of camp this year. The long-time camper decided to graduate to counselor. He was matched up with 11-year old Will, who has Charcot Marie Tooth disease, just like Adam does. Adam says he was enjoying the responsibility and hoped to teach Will all camp had to offer. Among the lessons? "Anything you set your mind to, you can do," Adam said.
It's a message that hits home with another group of counselors. Longtime camper Adam Sahlfeld lost his battle against muscular dystrophy last November. His sister, Ashley, and cousins Dustin and Laci returned to camp as counselors to continue in Adam's spirit.
Dustin says he knows how much it meant to Adam to come to camp and how important it is to the kids to be with people who are like them.
Ashley says camp is a place where they aren't singled out as the only ones with a disease. She says, at camp, all the kids can play and they feel they're part of a team.
"It's like a family," she says.
The kids and their families don't pay anything for the week. The camp is funded with donations to the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
Support MDA's efforts with a donation to the Jerry Lewis Telethon, Labor Day on WIBW-TV.

The recently discovered tape on which Barack Obama said back in 1998 that he believes in redistribution is not really news. He said the same thing to Joe the Plumber four years ago. But the surfacing of this tape may serve a useful purpose if it gets people to thinking about what the consequences of redistribution are.
Those who talk glibly about redistribution often act as if people are just inert objects that can be placed here and there, like pieces on a chess board, to carry out some grand design. But if human beings have their own responses to government policies, then we cannot blithely assume that government policies will have the effect intended.
The history of the 20th century is full of examples of countries that set out to redistribute wealth and ended up redistributing poverty. The communist nations were a classic example, but by no means the only example.
In theory, confiscating the wealth of the more successful people ought to make the rest of the society more prosperous. But when the Soviet Union confiscated the wealth of successful farmers, food became scarce. As many people died of starvation under Stalin in the 1930s as died in Hitler's Holocaust in the 1940s.
How can that be? It is not complicated. You can only confiscate the wealth that exists at a given moment. You cannot confiscate future wealth -- and that future wealth is less likely to be produced when people see that it is going to be confiscated. Farmers in the Soviet Union cut back on how much time and effort they invested in growing their crops, when they realized that the government was going to take a big part of the harvest. They slaughtered and ate young farm animals that they would normally keep tending and feeding while raising them to maturity.
People in industry are not inert objects either. Moreover, unlike farmers, industrialists are not tied to the land in a particular country.
Russian aviation pioneer Igor Sikorsky could take his expertise to America and produce his planes and helicopters thousands of miles away from his native land. Financiers are even less tied down, especially today, when vast sums of money can be dispatched electronically to any part of the world.
If confiscatory policies can produce counterproductive repercussions in a dictatorship, they are even harder to carry out in a democracy. A dictatorship can suddenly swoop down and grab whatever it wants. But a democracy must first have public discussions and debates. Those who are targeted for confiscation can see the handwriting on the wall, and act accordingly.
Among the most valuable assets in any nation are the knowledge, skills and productive experience that economists call "human capital." When successful people with much human capital leave the country, either voluntarily or because of hostile governments or hostile mobs whipped up by demagogues exploiting envy, lasting damage can be done to the economy they leave behind.
Fidel Castro's confiscatory policies drove successful Cubans to flee to Florida, often leaving much of their physical wealth behind. But poverty-stricken refugees rose to prosperity again in Florida, while the wealth they left behind in Cuba did not prevent the people there from being poverty stricken under Castro. The lasting wealth the refugees took with them was their human capital.
We have all heard the old saying that giving a man a fish feeds him only for a day, while teaching him to fish feeds him for a lifetime. Redistributionists give him a fish and leave him dependent on the government for more fish in the future.
If the redistributionists were serious, what they would want to distribute is the ability to fish, or to be productive in other ways. Knowledge is one of the few things that can be distributed to people without reducing the amount held by others.
That would better serve the interests of the poor, but it would not serve the interests of politicians who want to exercise power, and to get the votes of people who are dependent on them.
Barack Obama can endlessly proclaim his slogan of "Forward," but what he is proposing is going backwards to policies that have failed repeatedly in countries around the world.
Yet, to many people who cannot be bothered to stop and think, redistribution sounds good.

- Vocability Words can be both familiar and extremely confusing when taken from their usual context. Ask any wine enthusiast about legs, fat or bricks and they may assume you are speaking "Vinonese." Ok — I made that word up; but the language of wine does indeed include legs, fat and brix which have entirely different meanings from what you might assume. Working with definitions from http://www.wineschool.com/vocabulary.html, try your basic knowledge of "Vinonese."
- Vocability Words can set a tone for a situation, alter someone's perception of an individual or group — in short, there is power in them. The Bible cautions, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue..." — Proverbs in 18:21, ASB. With that in mind, I will be focusing on words, some recently used and some obscure, to test the readers and build on what you already know. There will be theme weeks, for instance next week will focus on words involving wine — for no particular reason! So try your vocabulary skills with the following and see how you score. I'm always open to suggestions for material.
A hard rain is gonna fall...
By Kathryn Jean Lopez/Syndicated columnist
After disappearing during his term in office and bringing scandal to his family and state, former South Carolina governor Mark Sanford is going to Washington, having won election to Congress. And that's far from the worst story reflecting the current character of our nation.
Not your mother's Ladies' Home Journal
By Rheta Grimsely Johnson/Syndicated columnist
I haven't seen the Ladies' Home Journal in about a million years, except maybe in the dentist's office when I was trying to avoid a television permanently set on Fox News.
Somebody's grandchild was selling magazines for a school project, and Ladies' Home Journal was the only one on the list I recognized. Now it comes to the house.
Let's just say: It's not my mother's Ladies' Home Journal. This month, right behind a feature called "A Country of People Who Never Stop Eating" is one called "Nice Girls Do Get Tattoos." -
Health care market needs oversight
By Gene Lyons/Syndicated columnist
Sometimes the best journalism explains what's right under our noses. In Steven Brill's exhaustive Time magazine cover article, "Bitter Pill: Why Medical Bills Are Killing Us," it's the staggeringly expensive, grotesquely inefficient and inhumane way Americans pay for medical care.
VA's appalling failures not recent
By Sid Salter/Syndicated columnist
While recent national press attention to ongoing problems at Mississippi's G.V. (Sonny) Montgomery Veterans Administration Medical Center in Jackson is welcome and needed, the failures of the overall VA service apparatus in Mississippi are not recent problems.
In short, former U.S. Rep. Sonny Montgomery — Mississippi's "Mr. Veteran" and author of the modern G.I. Bill that bears his name — must be spinning in his grave. There have been significant failures and poor service to veterans documented by state and local media since 2008. -
Dolley Madison politically savvy
By Cokie and Steven V. Roberts/Syndicated columnists
When Dolley Payne Madison became first lady in 1809, she instituted Wednesday evening gatherings at the White House where political rivals could meet and talk. They were called "squeezes" because so many people showed up and crowded the room. As Cokie wrote in her book "Ladies of Liberty": "All were welcome as long as they were appropriately dressed. And all went — skipping a Wednesday night might mean missing a vital piece of political information or being left out of a crucial deal."
Mississippi isn't immune from national college tuition trends
By Sid Salter/Syndicated columnist
Higher education in Mississippi has not been immune from national trends cited in a recent Center on Budget and Policy Priorities report which concludes that over the last five years, the global economic downturn and a "no new taxes" political climate have increasingly shifted the burden of higher education finance to students and parents at a time when enrollment is increasing and the percentage of state support is decreasing. -
Right to vote not 'racial entitlement
By Donna Brazile/Syndicated columnist
The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the case of Shelby County v. Holder — a challenge to the Voting Rights Act of 1965, specifically Section 5, which requires states and localities with a history of voting discrimination against racial and language minorities to get "pre-approved" by the federal government before changing how elections are conducted or voters are registered. -
1st day of spring brings memories
By Wyatt Emmerich/Southside Sun
The first day of spring! My favorite month, April, is just around the corner. Now we just need one big gullywasher to get rid of the pine pollen.
Normally, spring gives me a strong sense of rebirth and renewal, but this spring I seem surrounded by moments crystallizing the passage of time.
It was a year ago, I walked up the porch to my mother's home to box up her possessions following her funeral. - More Columns Headlines

Motherhood Comes Naturally (and Other Vicious Lies)

I used to think it was pretty strange that in Japan, you are expected to take your shoes off when you enter someone's house. I grew up in a cold climate in the days when wall to wall carpet was a novelty. Although, come to think of it, Gramma had a 'sitting' room that had an elaborate pattern. That room was almost never used. When we bought this house, it had brand new cushy, light beige,wall to wall carpet. I got into the habit of walking around stocking-footed because it was comfortable. I soon noticed a puzzling trend. When people came over, they took their shoes off at the door. I tried to stop them. I was embarrassed that they thought I cared more about the carpet than them. It took a long time for me to realize that the era of wall to wall carpet got everyone in the habit of taking their shoes off at the door. It took me longer to realize that regardless of people's expectations, I was not going to take my shoes off in their homes. I've noticed that the few people who do not take off their shoes, don't bother to wipe them on the doormat either. This resulted in dirty spots, distracting from the stains of spilt food. But most of the large expanse of carpet looks pretty much unused. Except where is doesn't. There is a trail of flattened carpet from the stairs to the kitchen where I've carried in groceries for twenty five years. Also, around the dining room, food has been spilled. In the middle of the living room a splatter of paler carpet commemorates the time Ryanne shook her milk bottle before she realized that the lid was loose. Who knew that milk stains are impossible to remove? It is time to replace it, but if we put in a practical, modern carpet, would I still spend my days in stockings? I'm kind of spoiled. Too bad there isn't a way to dye a carpet. |

A man was arrested after a starving dog found at his home ended up dying, police said.
Leonel Castillo Sandoval, 43, of North Wilkesboro, was arrested after police and animal control responded to his home at 507 Fifth Street North on June 11.

The dog was on the way to a veterinarian when it died, police said.
A water bowl was put near the animal but not a food bowl, police said.
Sandoval faces a felony charge of killing an animal by starvation. He was held under a $7,500 secured bond.
