When hauling trash, keep it covered
I want to share a recent experience I had on Dixie School Road in the Buford community. About 2 p.m. on March 28, I met a flatbed truck with a gray tarp. Debris was flying from this vehicle. Some hit my car and damaged it. I have since had it repaired. I feel sure the driver will recognize himself or herself if they read this letter. But that is in the past.
The point I’m trying to make is that if you are hauling trash, be sure it is secure. This was only a car. The next time it could be a person, even a child.

Don’t abuse handicapped parking
Do you know someone who is truly handicapped or disabled? My husband is and, believe me, it has made me so aware of the stress he has in using the motorized carts that some stores have, using the facilities and parking issues.
I believe we have misused the word “handicap.”
Even though patients with heart conditions are requested to walk, they ask their doctors for a handicapped tag, so they can park close to stores’ entrances with little to no walking.

Change our gun laws
The suicide of Adams Lanza, the man who went on a killing rampage in Sandy Hook Elementary School, reminds me of Judas Iscariot, the disciple who killed himself after betraying Jesus. Both are examples or greed and mental illness.
My question is why are so many people buying guns since the Sandy Hook massacre? Yes, I know guns don’t kill. People do. And a bullet doesn’t have anyone’s name on it, so innocent people get killed.

Community, businesses support cancer survivors
On Saturday, April 13, Lancaster County Relay for Life held its annual Survivors Luncheon for cancer survivors and guests, an event that drew nearly 400 people.
Because this event is self-supporting and does not request funds from American Cancer Society, it relies on the graciousness of individuals and businesses who donate the resources to make it happen.
One would be hard-pressed to find a more giving place than Lancaster.

Writer’s purse went missing at yard sale
I participated in the city of Lancaster community yard sale on April 13. It was a good day and I was having a lovely time until my purse went missing. I was going to use the money I made at the yard sale to have a Mother’s Day cookout for my mother, who is in a nursing home. The purse also contained my brother’s EBT card.
The subject of my pastor’s sermon that Sunday was “God will provide.” I sure hope God provides that my purse is returned. My telephone number is (803) 283-4382.

Make sure your water heater works
I just want to warn people to occasionally check on their hot water heaters.
After receiving such high water and electric bills, I was told to check on mine. When I opened the locked access door underneath my house, I was met with a flood of water. My 30-year-old heater had broken and it looked like a spouting waterfall.
Get someone to check on yours. It is worth your time, money and nerves.
Thank God for my plumbers.

Good plan needed to accommodate progress
I have been following the issue of Indian Land residents wanting to change zoning in their community. I live in a community called Edgewater. I moved here from Rhode Island more than two years ago. I can’t begin to tell you how happy I am here because of the quietness of the area.

Don’t turn postal service into private enterprise
Gosh, more articles on the money problems related to our postal service. Some seek to disband the best operational system in the world and thrust us into cyberspace, where the hackers operate.
Sure, it’s handy to use our home computers to drop a get-well note to dear Aunt Maude. Trouble is auntie never owned a computer, so she will never know of our good intentions.
