Whittlesey’s gun control column ‘inane filler’
If anyone were to judge our area based solely on the submissions of Franklin Whittlesey Sr. that have been printed in The Lancaster News and the Carolina Gateway, they might be inclined to think Lancaster County doesn’t have two brain cells to rub together.

California student seeks info on South Carolina
My name is Gianna Graffigna. I am a fifth-grader at Napa Valley Language Academy in Napa, Calif.
My class is doing state reports and I have chosen your awesome state of South Carolina. I would really appreciate if anyone would send me pamphlets, post cards, souvenirs or anything else about South Carolina.
I will be writing about South Carolina’s agriculture, history, economy, famous people, events, historical figures and national parks. Also, I will be doing an oral report poster and a PowerPoint presentation.

It’s time to make B3 zoning changes
The need for B3 zoning revision in Indian Land is well established. The concern of established landowners that the owner of an adjacent property zoned B3 will suddenly decide to switch to a different, less desirable, but still allowed under current law use is real and immediate.
The column previously published here detailed changes to the B3 zoning classification in Indian Land that would remove most of this threat.

Show respect by pulling over in funeral procession
I have noticed recently while watching a few funerals that a lot of people don’t pull over while the procession passes. Also, there is only a police car leading the funeral. There are none at intersections to block traffic.
This is the South and we have always shown respect for the deceased. I think everyone should, at least, take a few minutes from their busy day to pull over and show respect for the deceased.
There should be an officer at each intersection, so the funeral procession doesn’t have to stop and be held up in traffic.

Don’t forget to visit senior citizens
I recently witnessed something that made me aware of how important it is to visit our senior citizens when they are sick at home or in a hospital.
I encourage everyone to go by and check on them, especially church members. As church members, we should go to church and worship and then go out and serve our fellow man.
Please, let’s not lose sight of what Jesus wants us to do – be Christ-like.

Whittlesey should do some research
Many thanks to Franklin Whittlesey for his latest informational column, this one on the subject of how guns are made. I had no idea!
But I do have one idea: Mr. Whittlesey should reduce his viewing time of Fox News and perhaps switch to reading some newspapers and news magazines at the Del Webb Library so as to escape his fantasy world and get some of his facts straight.
Lawmakers are not trying to override the Second Amendment and take everyone’s guns away, only restrict

Red Ventures located in Indian Land, not Fort Mill
Red Ventures gets my heart rate up, and not for a good reason. Every time you see them in a newspaper article, television or on the radio, advertising for one of their big job fairs, they always say they are in Fort Mill.
There are very few residents of Indian Land or even Lancaster County working in Red Ventures. They have not found qualified applicants in our county, even after special efforts have been implemented for training classes at York Tech.
Now they want the road to their buildings named Red Ventures.

Help keep county free of litter
Lancaster County residents should be proud of our sheriff. Sheriff Barry Faile has been very aggressive with the litter program, and has created the Lancaster County Litter Program.
The program is supervised by an inmate supervisor. People of Lancaster could not believe all of the trash, including old tires and old television sets, that people put on our roadsides.
The trash, dirty diapers, dead animals and furniture are forever placed in our county creeks.
