Word on the Street What makes you proud to be an American? Editor’s Corner

The United States will turn 238 years old on Independence Day and citizens throughout the region, the state and the nation will come together to mark the occasion. Why are you proud to live in the United States?

by John Hendler Friday is Independence Day, our nation's 238th birthday. Rarely do we hear it referred to as Independence Day anymore, which would at least give us the insight of how the United States became a nation rather than just celebrating its birthday. There's a big difference between celebrating a birthday and celebrating independence, of which there seems to be less and less of these days. With each passing year, it seems the spirit of independence that started this nation and made it great is shrinking as more and more people look to the government to solve their ills and the government, in return, acts as their citizens' enablers. Don't worry about a thing. We're from the Government and we're here to help. In the Declaration of Independence, our Founding Fathers wanted to establish a government that derived their just powers from the consent of the governed and, if a government became destructive, it was the right of the people to alter or abolish it. Today, it seems that those voted to serve in Congress think they know better than the citizens that put them there and rather than act in their constituents' best interests, act in their own best interests, the constituent being just too naive to understand. You wouldn't understand. Just go back and distract yourselves with your gadgets and reality TV shows. We'll take care of everything. With each passing year, the federal government seemingly gets more involved in more and more aspects of our lives, making us anything but independent. Topping the list is the government's imminent involvement in our nation's healthcare system, where it's becoming more apparent that you may not be able to keep the coverage that you currently have down the road, as was promised. As we've seen in recent years in Europe, government's failure to follow through on keeping its unrealistic promises is beginning to suffocate the continent and its citizens with mountains upon mountains of debt. And it looks like that model is coming here, all because they know better, all the while sapping our independence until there will be a day where we wouldn't recognize independence if it slapped us across the face, yelling at us to wake up and look at what's happening. The more powerful government becomes, the more it will resemble King George's regime our Founding Fathers fought so hard to get away from. As written in the Declaration of Independence: A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be ruler of a free people. By all means, enjoy our nation's Independence Day, because the United States, thankfully, is still the greatest nation on earth, but the day is coming where we will have to decide once and for all if we want to remain truly free. Until next week, may the good news be yours.

"I’m grateful for the freedoms that we have - such as women’s rights and equality in the workforce.”

"The freedom to be anything you want to be and do anything you want to do within the law. We don’t have a government telling us what to do all the time.”

Leave pets at home where they are safe, not in hot cars To the Editor: I would like to bring to your attention a particular subject: People leaving animals in vehicles during hot weather. I’ve had the experience of witnessing dogs, in particular, left in cars with windows either closed completely or left between three to 10 inches down more than once. I’m sure the owners are thinking that their beloved Fido will get out the window, but did they even once think the animal would die of being overheated? Some people are kind and thoughtful enough if they had to leave their pets in their vehicle, they at least left the air conditioning on for them or someone was in the vehicle attending them. If people think that having windows down at any of the above stated lengths is okay, I would say, maybe you should stay in there and give it a try without the animal. Do you think you’d notice anything different? These animals feel the same way and it disgusts me that people continue to do this to their so-called beloved pets. I have had to call police or

talk with store managers regarding dogs in cars in distress that would die if someone didn’t do something quickly. I have left my vehicle going into a store to shop, hearing a dog barking constantly, only to return to my vehicle still hearing that cry and then drive around a parking lot trying to find the dog, then locating it and waiting. Those vehicles did not have anyone in there with them. Not knowing how long the person was gone from the vehicle, I waited to see if the owner would return quickly. I could definitely see that the dog was stressed. I knew they were overheated and exhausted from it. That is when I made the decision to help and you should too. I personally would think that common sense would indicate that on those days of heat, even in the upper 40s, it can get quite hot, very quickly within minutes to be critical, particularly in a paved parking lot. But, common sense and kindness these days doesn’t seem to reign in the minds and hearts of many humans as I see on a daily basis in our world, but

that is no excuse. This is cruelty, period. There are laws that protect children and animals from this sort of neglect, and I would hope that you would be kind enough to report an incident like this if you come across it or certainly reconsider the problems of leaving your own pet unattended in this type of situation if you decide to take them with you. I have witnessed people saying how cruel it is as they walked past the truck or car that had these animals in it, noting the stress, but yet would not step up to the plate and do anything to help. At least, please contact a store manager and make sure you’re there as they make the call to be sure they call the police to come, because sometimes, people just don’t want to get involved or they will say they’re too busy. Let the police officer at that time make the decision and complaint to handle it. There are penalties for those who commit this type of offense. It seems like today everyone is so worried about offending someone even when we know how wrong it is and the end conse-

quence. Wrong is wrong...period! Think of the animals that are left outdoors in your neighbor’s yard, in the sun and heat with no food, water, shade or shelter. How about the dog that is chained outdoors in the cold with no shelter, food or water and then froze to the ground one night. There are laws to protect them, but they won’t be if you’re one of those who complain and just walk on by or watch daily out your window at your neighbor’s neglect of their so-called pets. My suggestion and hope is, please leave your pets at home where you know they’ll be comfortable and safe. I know many dogs love to ride, but think about the quality of that ride and if in the end it will bring stress and possibly death. There are laws in our city, county and state and throughout the country that covers these sort of issues of endangerment for all. Thoughtfulness and kindness goes a long way if we choose to do so. Some of us really need to give this some serious thought.

Lisa Picketts-Whitney, Marshall

Thanks to volunteers, participants in used book sale To the Editor: Last weekend the Marshall District Library hosted a used book sale in partnership with AAUW of Marshall. I would like to thank the many people in the community who supported Marshall District Library programs and the AAUW Patrice Elms Scholarship by visiting this sale.

I would particularly like to thank Dan Coddens from Marshall Public Schools for organizing a volunteer team of varsity football players to help with setting up. These courteous and responsible students: Owen Osborn, Tyler Horn, Jonah Zebolsky, and Travis Mumaw, donated their time to set up thousands of books in the Library meeting

room. Many thanks also to the members of AAUW of Marshall and other members of the Marshall District Library staff for taking their time to make this event successful. The next Used Book Sale will be Home Tour Weekend, Sept. 5-6.
