Clinton blames others for Benghazi’s deaths
If you didn’t tune in to watch the Senate questioning Secretary of Stare Hillary Clinton on the Benghazi attack, I can sum up the whole hearing in one word – diarrhea.
By the amount of time the Democrats spent on reaping praise on Secretary Clinton you’d thought she’d cured cancer, brought peace to the Middle East and won American Idol.

Family impressed with Valvoline employees
On Monday, Jan. 28, our family was saddened to have to bury an aunt, who had died on Jan. 25.
The funeral was held at the chapel of Hartley-Burgess Funeral Home here in Lancaster. As the funeral procession left the funeral home on Charlotte Highway headed south on U.S. 521, we were amazed at the respect that was shown by a local business and its employees.
The employees at Valvoline Express Care located at 1565 Charlotte Highway stopped what they were doing, removed their caps, stood outside in a line and bowed their heads.

S.C. 160 widening cuts through family land
The proposed widening of S.C. 160 is much needed in Lancaster and York counties. We here in northern Indian Land are well aware of the traffic problems facing us every day. In fact, they only seem to be increasing. The new Indian Land school, to be built on Harrisburg Road, will only increase congestion and delays.
During the citizen comments part of the S.C. Department of Transportation public hearing Jan. 29, we heard about the need for more lighting, a traffic light and something about landscaping that I still don’t quite understand.

Let’s keep our children safe
Every school day, my daughter and I stand in the dark near the end of the driveway and watch her bus come to a stop on the opposite side of the road. We use the side of the circular driveway closest to the top of the hill to ensure cars coming up that hill can see the flashing lights on the bus (they can – I’ve stood over there to check). And, always, we look very carefully and wait very patiently for traffic to stop so we can cross the road.

‘Bigger the better’ attitude has taken over
I read Matthew Taylor’s column calling for a calm, healthy debate on gun control in the Jan. 30, 2013 edition of The Lancaster News.
Weapons of war have no place on gun racks mounted on the back window of a pick-up or anywhere else for that matter. Reminds me of the words on a huge Lancaster towing machine (aka wrecker) some years ago. “Don’t call a horse when a pony will do.” In other words, you don’t need a machine gun for rabbit hunting.

Buffet has right idea to fix Congress
I am almost 19 years old and I voted for the first time in the the 2012 General Election.
As a U.S. citizen, I feel we should all take advantage of this privilege.
In the 2010-2011 school year, I had the privilege to be in AP U.S. History taught by Miss Kitty Outen. She preached on how important it is for everyone to vote whether you are 18 or 70 years of age.
In my opinion if you didn’t vote, you should not be able to continue to talk negative about the political system. People should speak up and make a difference.

Banning inanimate objects not viable solution
I read with great interest the Jan. 30, 2013, guest article from former Lancaster resident Matthew Taylor, who now lives in Sydney Australia. I was going to respond to some of the items he is ranting about in his letter, but why do I want to debate with someone who now lives outside of the United States? He obviously has issues with the rural lifestyle of where he was born.

Consider experience when hiring employees
This letter is addressed to all employers in Lancaster County and surrounding counties or anyone who might read this on the Internet.
What ever happened to the word “experience” when hiring someone? Does not a person who had spent more than 30 years working as a mechanic on cars, trucks, electric forklifts and industrial equipment have more knowledge than any high school or most college students fresh after graduation?
