  • Lynch letter: Trash pile source discovered?

    Well guys, I finally figured it out!
    After almost two years of begging, complaining and pleading with the county, DHEC and anyone who will listen, I think I now know.
    The other morning at 6:15 a.m., I was headed to the farm to help get ready for the big bull-riding event. And what comes out of Pressley’s Recycling gate? A huge truck with a roll-off dumpster. The name on the back? Rockin’ Ron’s Roll-Offs. Who is Rockin’ Ron? Olsen?

  • Lage letter: Disagree with other’s view, but don’t insult them

    I’d like to respond to Crystal Stango’s March 13 letter, “Whittlesey’s gun control column ‘inane filler.’”
     Why is it that liberals can’t have a discussion without name calling or insulting the person who sees issues differently? The entire letter belittled him. Why can’t you submit a letter that has a different viewpoint – without the insults?
    It’s liberals like you who live in a fantasy land when you think making another gun law will prevent shootings.

  • Mackey letter: IL Middle School students need help, too

    TLC4ILS is a program I started here in Indian Land to help the less fortunate children in Indian Land Middle School. My reason for this is I feel that Indian Land Elementary School has wonderful programs in place that take great care of grades kindergarten through five, but what happens after that?

  • Scott letter: Motorists, cyclists need to put safety first

    I almost hate to bring this up. It hasn’t been a problem lately, but it is  spring, finally, and I am not anxious to see the cyclists out again in the Marvin area.
    I recently read “Info for Motorists” on the Florida Bicycle Association website, http://floridabicycle.org/for-motorists/, which I received from a Facebook friend. There must have been a reason. I hope I don’t encounter an accident.
    From that page, I feel an undue sense of entitlement and confidence expected by the cyclist that may put them in danger.

  • Wilt letter: County vehicle repair shop in deplorable condition

    Lancaster County operates a vehicle repair shop that does maintenance on the county’s police cars, ambulances, firetrucks, etc. I was privileged to tour this facility a little while ago and found it well-run and efficient, saving the county money in all sorts of ways. Unfortunately, the working conditions that the county has chosen to provide for these employees can only be described as disastrous.

  • Lloret letter: Don’t sacrifice civil rights to ‘do something’

    I would like to respond to Crystal Stango’s March 13 letter, “Whittlesey’s gun control column ‘inane filler.’”
    Stango was taking Whittlesey to task for his column, “Gun-ban effort infringes on Americans’ right to bear arms.” I would like to offer the following observations:
    1. The statement that “nobody is asking for a gun ban” is incorrect. Many, having including some in state and federal government are asking for that.

  • Parsons letter: County smoking ordinance has positive impact

    Members of the Lancaster County Health and Wellness Commission feel the response to the implementation of the county smoking ordinance has been overwhelmingly positive.
    Several restaurants changed to smoke-free at the beginning of this year or prior to the March 1 compliance date.
    The process of developing and implementing the county smoking ordinance has taken more than four years.
    The U.S. Surgeon General’s 2010 report verified that there is no safe level of exposure to tobacco smoke.
