Ennui and self-loathing in This Town
(Today's column was written prior to this past weekend's White House Correspondents gala.)
GOP not quite dead
If you depended on the national media for all your information, you'd get the idea that it's going to be clear sailing for Democrats in years to come; most metro papers and network news operations purport to be unbiased but in reality are shills for the national Democratic Party. And it's true that the GOP hasn't done well in recent presidential elections, and changing demographics in the country are producing more voters who traditionally fall into the Democrats' constituency.

Charles Fyon
1927-2014. It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved father, grandfather and friend after a brief illness at the age of 86. He will be greatly missed by his loving friend Elisabeth Koening, his 6 children and 10 adoring grandchildren. He will be joining his late daughter Joanna and his late wife Winnifred. During his life he was involved in hockey, tennis and most importantly golf. He spent the last 34 years partially in South Carolina and was a great friend to many here in Montreal and at Lake Manitou, his summer residence.
NCHS receives SCAC grant
North Central High School (NCHS) recently received a $750 grant from the S.C. Arts Commission (SCAC) for the 2014 fiscal year.

Lives in Camden being changed through ‘Power of work’
Each year, the first week of May is Goodwill Week. This week is a time to recognize the people in the community that make Goodwill's work possible and celebrate Goodwill's long history of putting people back to work, which began when Methodist minister Edgar Helms founded Goodwill Industries in Boston in 1902.
Hurricane Hugo
Everyone knows the weather is an acceptable source of discussion. Politics, religion and family, however, are fraught with danger when a person talks or writes. As I was listening to the news and awaiting information about a recent impending storm, my mind wandered back to a number of years ago when Hurricane Hugo was a problem.
Raised to shop better
Tink had been in Los Angeles for a week so that morning before his plane left LAX, it occurred to me that a good wifely thing to do would be to welcome him back to the Rondarosa with a home cooked meal.

Steamboat experiments on the Wateree River, 1869-70
Efforts to improve navigation of the Wateree River along the Kershaw County area of the river dates from just after the Revolutionary War. From 1818 to 1828, South Carolina funded extensive internal improvement projects along most state rivers, including the Wateree/Catawba. Locks and canals were built to facilitate passage through shoals and other impediments to navigation.
What are the General Assembly’s priorities on taxes?
South Carolina is known as a "red state" and a "conservative" state, and so one might be led to believe it's a place where non-"progressive," free-market policies reign. Certainly, South Carolina has a reputation for being a "low tax state." But the reputation is unearned. A brief look at the legislature's record on tax policy -- perhaps the most fundamental free market issue -- reveals a profound disconnect between reputation and reality.
