GF fire captain accused of arson
GREAT FALLS - Great Falls Fire Capt. David Dutton is facing an arson charge in a fire at the town fire department and is considered "a person of interest" in three other fires, authorities say.
Dutton, of 10 Farrow St., was charged last week with third-degree arson, an arrest warrant from the S.C. Law Enforcement Division said.
An arrest warrant says Dutton used the liquid antibacterial hand sanitizer Germ-X to burn a desk at the Great Falls Fire Department. Germ-X contains ethyl alcohol, a flammable compound.

Roles reversed as reporter participates in exercise
While covering a story at Covenant Baptist Church on Feb. 8., the roles were reversed, and I wound up as a source in several other articles.
Forty middle-schoolers throughout the county were taking notes in their reporter pads and asking questions - all in an effort to write that perfect news story. I happened to be one of the people who was on the receiving end of those inquiries.
Ten students from four middle schools in the Lancaster County School District participated in a read-in event that day. They had previously volunteered to read a book and met to discuss it.

Ball players, reporter help students with assignment
Students across the school district met at Covenant Baptist Church on Feb. 8 for the 12th annual READ-In.
Forty middle school students from area schools were divided into different groups to discuss the book, "Last Shot: A Final Four Mystery" by John Feinstein.
A.R. Rucker sixth-grader JeNae Jones enjoyed the book.
"I like the book because it's about sports... Basketball is a great sport and it's competitive," Jones said.
Just like the characters in the book, students received pointers about being a reporter.

Jacqueline Montgomery and Robert Barber decided to express their love in a major way on Valentine's Day - they got married.
After Barber proposed to the Lancaster native last year, he told her that she could pick the wedding date. After initially planning to wed in the fall, she thought that Valentine's Day would be the most appropriate day.
"Today is a special day for us," she said while glazing into Barber's eyes. "It's the perfect day for us to unite."
