Arnold’s The Kings Mountain Herald WHAT'S HAPPENING July 19, 2007 Real to Reel Film Festival continues through Saturday at Joy Theatre EMILY WEAVER eweaver@kingsmountainherald.com The Cleveland County Arts Council’s Real to Reel Film and Video festival continues to bring cinematic delights to crowds tonight through Saturday at the Joy Performance Arts Center on Railroad Avenue in Kings Mountain. For many filmmakers, each award solidifies their desire and gets them a step closer to their goal of making it big in the film industry. But for Logan Smalley, of Athens, GA, his film was per- sonal, his journey - a mission. He and his crew created the docu- mentary, “Darius Goes West: The Roll of his Life” on an amazing journey across the country with their friend, Darius Weems, who suffers from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. DMD has confined Weems, who had never traveled away from home, to a wheel- chair. Smalley and several friends decided to wear some tread on those wheels, taking him around the nation. From all areas of expertise and backgrounds, the 12 man crew consisted of Weems, Smalley, Ben Smalley, Andrew Carson, Daniel Epting, Josh Hadden, Josh Harmon, Jason Hees, Sam Johnson, Collin Shepley, Kevin Wier, and Dylan Wilson. According to dariusgoeswest.com, Weems, a junior at Clarke Central High uly 21 - Kings. Mountiin Bn Blast. 10:00 am-10:00 pm.

Mario lost his battle to DMD in 2000,” he said. “I have known Darius for four years, having worked with him at Project REACH,” Ben said, adding that they became instant friends. “I had a strong emotion- al connection to this trip and most enjoyed watching Darius gawk at the vast western land- scape.” “This wasn’t a trip about us. There were 11 second fiddles to our star,” Wilson said. “Our mis- sion was to make this the trip of a lifetime for Darius. I think we succeeded, and somewhere along the way; it became the trip of a lifetime for all of us.” “This is my first documen- tary,” Logan said. “I actually did not set out to be a filmmaker and don't really consider myself one.” He graduated from UGA in May 2006 with a degree in Special Education. The documentary also intro- duces two other families affected by DMD and an “in-depth inter- view with a medical expert dis- cussing promising new research that offers hope for treatment and possibly even a cure.” According to the website, “By Greenway Moon Rise Frog Walk. 9:00 pm.

The crew will not be able to stay for the Saturday night awards ceremo- ny because they have to get back home in time for the second anniversary of “Darius Goes West Day,” a special honor to Darius and the film.

BURROWS FAMILY FACES TRIALS WITH THE HELP OF THE COMMUNITY It has been a journey of ups and downs for the family since October 2005. Jason, who works for the Social Security Office in Shelby, was diagnosed in Oct. 2005 with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Shortly thereafter he began receiving treatments. he received chemotherapy every other weed until April 2006. At that time, he was determined to be in remission. In August 2006, during a routine follow-up visit, Jason was re-tested and a spot was found in his chest area. His Hodgkin’s had returned and once again the Burrows family found themselves facing more decisions and treatment. In November of 2006 Jason and his wife Kim, went to MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas for a consultation. They returned with a regimen for his doctor in Char- lotte to follow. Twice Jason was hospitalized to receive three consecutive days of Chemo, once in Dec. 06 and once again in Jan. 07. The treatments put him back into remission. However, due to his prognosis, a stem cell transplant was needed in order to hopefully se- cure a lasting remission. In January the entire family traveled to Houston for a 15 week stay. In February 2007, a dinner was held in honor of the Burrows family, Jason (30) his wife, Kim, and their children, Nicholas (4) and Lindsay (2) at Resurrection Lutheran Church to help with medical costs and every day expenses. All proceeds from the bene- fit dinner, $6,000, were leveraged from Thrivent Financial for Lutherans. In April, Allan Karrell, a registered representative for securities offered through Thrivent Investment Man- agement, Inc. presented a check to the Burrows family for $10,000. It is miraculous the way family, friends, and people the Burrows had never met before, can together to show their love, compassion and Christian friendship for this young fam- ily. While in Texas, the Burrows stayed with Mrs. Harrison, a widow who houses MD An- derson patients as her ministry. Friends and family members took time away from work, donated frequent flyer miles and made numerous contributions in order to assist the Bur- rows as they faced this disease. At this time, Jason is in remission. He will need to return to Texas every three months for follow-up testing. A special thanks to everyone who supported this family: Those who organized and came to the dinner; Jason and Kim's parents, Mrs. Harrison, who provided housing, em- ployers who showed support, and to our Lord and Savior who has given Jason more time to be with his family. This is an incredible community who shows love and support to those in need. If you would like to know more about Jason and his experience with Hodgkin’s or the MD Anderson Cancer Center call Resurrection Lutheran Church, 704- 739.5580.
