There’s plenty of pride for Pettit
A gold medal and three silvers are nothing to sneeze at as the old saying goes.
Rather, it’s something to be proud of over a two-year athletic career in the state meet.
Those are the honors Lancaster High School senior swimmer Jory Pettit posted in the last two Class AAAA state swim meets.
Pettit, as a junior, won the gold in the 50-yard freestyle and took the silver in the 100-yard freestyle.

New field is a boost for USCL soccer
Sometimes it’s not all about the wins and losses.
Friday afternoon, Aug. 24, it was about a new start for the University of South Carolina Lancaster soccer program.
For the first time in the history of the school, the USCL Lancers teams were able to play matches on campus.
As Lancers’ athletic director Rick Walters said, fans watching the matches were watching more than soccer, they were “watching history.”
The Lancers’ women’s program is in its sixth season, while the USCL men are in their first campaign.

Have a happy, but safe Labor Day
No school. No work. Yes, it’s the Labor Day holiday. Time for that end-of-summer fling whether it’s in the mountains, the beaches or just in the backyard with family, friends, a grill and even fireworks.
Monday, Sept. 3, is a federal holiday that celebrates the contributions of America’s workers. Schools are closed, as well as government offices, banks and other businesses.
The origin of summer’s final holiday dates back 130 years.
The first U.S. Labor Day was celebrated on Sept. 5, 1882 in New York City.

Four teams blazed to diamond success
The summer of 2012 has been one to remember for shining efforts on the diamond.
That’s the glowing performances of four area teams – three banner baseball teams and a stellar softball squad.
Those teams include the Lancaster Post 31 American Legion team, the Lancaster Dixie Pre-Majors all-stars, the Lancaster Dixie Boys 13 all-stars and the Lancaster County Dixie Softball Darlings all-stars.
Each did well and produced their share of achievements.

Societies’ ills within people, not objects
Given recent, tragic events, we think it is time to take a look at some statistics. If these numbers don’t grab your attention, nothing will.
More than 42,000 Americans were killed in 2006, more than 41,000 in 2007, 37,000 in 2008 and about 33,000 in 2009 and 2010. That totals out to more than 185,000 lost lives in a five-year period. That is enough national deaths to wipe out the entire population of Chester County six times over. It’s understandable that people are outraged and want the government to take action, regardless of whatever rights people possess.
