Rep shares business lessons from China
In September, I was one of three state legislators fortunate enough to travel to Dalian, China, as part of a S.C. Department of Commerce trade mission to the World Economic Forum. While the four-day trip yielded a variety of insights and experiences, a couple are of particular relevance for Lancaster County and South Carolina.

Editorial cartoon reflects liberal papers
I was extremely disappointed and disheartened to see the editorial cartoon in the Oct. 26 edition of The Lancaster News. For those readers who did not see the cartoon, it was a reprint from USA Today, well known to be one of the more liberal leaning newspapers in the United States.

Good hygiene best defense against MRSA
MRSA has been in the news a lot lately. It’s been called a “superbug” and has caused panic in some places where cases of it have been reported in public places.
Here in Lancaster County, there have been five reported incidents of MRSA in Lancaster County School District: one at Heath Springs Elementary, two at Buford Middle School, one at Discovery School and one at South Middle School. The school district did the right thing by notifying parents in each incident.

School district should do something about ‘nasty’ bathrooms
The school district has a problem at Lancaster High School and I would like to have it taken care of as soon as possible.
I attend a lot of school activities. I have to fight my way through a crowd of unsupervised students. They are so rude, cussing and using vulgar language. I have seen things too graphic to mention in this letter. The new cameras should pick up all this activity.

Most are open-minded about Iraq situation
The guest column about flip-floping in the Oct. 10 edition of The Lancaster News sure does point out some shaky tightrope walkers. The writer lists a number of specific instances of flip-floping. Seems such stuff only happens to Democrats trying to move into the White House where the rent and utilities come free and you don't have to cut out coupons for groceries.

New field houses will feed needs
Be thankful. Be patient. Those are the simple words which apply to county high schools following the Lancaster County School Board’s recent decision to build new athletic field houses in the four areas – Andrew Jackson, Buford, Indian Land and Lancaster.
Buford and Andrew Jackson are grateful because those two schools will be getting the first two field houses.
Lancaster and Indian Land high schools will follow.
The first two field houses, which will cost between $600,000 and $700,000, are scheduled to be built in 2008.

Writer pleads for Gore to run for president
There is a candidate out there who would be absolutely perfect for this great country of ours. He's not running for president, but in my opinion, he should. He would instantly be the front-runner and has the experience in the Senate, as well as the White House to get things moving and has proven his leadership ability both while in office, as well as in the private sector. This candidate is Al Gore.

Bruins, keep your heads up, continue to work hard
Bruins, keep your heads up, continue to work hard
This letter is to the Lancaster High School Bruins, parents and fans. Work together as a team. Don't think that you can win the game by yourself. It is a team effort. When you make a mistake, get up and try harder.
I don't believe in fussing at my child when he makes a mistake on the field. I tell him "you know what you did wrong, learn from it and do better next time." It's done, so why cry over spilled milk. Get up, brush yourself off and keep going.

Love's been dandy at Dianne Shop
A Lancaster icon is winding down a storied career. Anasue Love is closing her downtown business which opened in 1946.
The Dianne Shop, which was opened by Love’s mother, Beulah Mae Laney Roddey at Lancaster’s old Greyhound bus station, is closing its doors for good at the end of the month.
"This shop and my family have been my life," Love said.
There's a family tie to the shop's name. The business was named after Love's only daughter, Dianne.
The business has helped girls of all ages prepare for pageants.

Spears shows signs of bipolar
Watching Headline News at 3 a.m., I was hearing all the controversy about Britney Spears. Of all the young, beautiful stars, like Nicole Ritchie, Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton, she is the most disturbed and of concern.
Britney has two small children. As of yet, I have not heard the diagnosis of bipolar disorder. I have a master's in social work. I have worked in the Mecklenburg Mental Health Hospital, 15 years in the Catawba Mental Health in Rock Hill, four years in the Mental Health Center in Florence and as a licensed clinical social worker in South Carolina.
