  • January Yard of the Month

    During the winter, most homeowners are indoors, thinking little about their dormant lawns and yards. For this reason, the Lancaster Council of Garden Clubs selects a business as its January Yard of the Month.

    This month, the lawn of the new Del Webb Library at Indian Land has received this honor.

    Library director Richard Band is very proud of the new facility and landscaping that surrounds it.

    The 11,000-square-foot library in Carolina Commons, the commercial center at Sun City Carolina Lakes, opened Jan. 5.

  • Score big with Super Bowl recipes

    Super Bowl Sunday. The only thing missing is a verb. That, and the Green Bay Packers. Oh well, life goes on.

    I’m in a quandary as who to support during Super Bowl XLIII on Sunday. This year, I may just root for the commercials.

    What I’m going to enjoy most about this Super Bowl is that it means that racing season and the Daytona 500 are only two weeks away.

    It seems one of my high school and college friends doesn’t share my fondness for NASCAR.

  • Uncharted waters

    LIBERTY HILL – On one hand are the Seven Deadly Sins – pride, envy, gluttony, lust, anger, greed and sloth.

    On the other hand, is the tale of a fateful trip that started from a tropic port aboard a tiny ship.

    The two subjects don’t seem to have very much in common, but a group of local youth pastors have found a connection between “Gilligan's Island” and the capital vices.

    Talbert knows what he talking about. He is a pet food specialist who’s taken courses on what works best for pets.

  • Carolina Christian student leads the charge

    Maroon and white are the predominant colors at most Carolina Christian Academy basketball games as fans fill the school gym to root for the Cougars.

    But on Friday’s home tilt against Hawthorne Christian Academy Hawks of Chester, school colors took a back seat to purple.

    Why?

    Led by Carolina Christian 12th grader Jessica Hartley, all the proceeds from ticket sales at the door and from a basketball game bake sale were for Relay For Life.

  • When it comes to litter, Freda Usher is no quitter

    Freda Usher isn’t very hard to find most mornings. She’ll be walking along the roadways near her South Potter Road home.

    And Usher does the same thing each afternoon when there is enough daylight left to safely be out.

    This 56-year-old wife and mother of two isn’t walking for her health. Trash bag in hand, Usher is picking up litter.

    It’s a sure thing that Usher will leave things better than she found them.

  • Clean out medicine cabinets

    The New Year’s resolution of “out with the old and in with the new” applies to that out-of-view medicine cabinet behind the bathroom mirror that you stare at every morning while brushing your teeth or combing your hair.

    Like a refrigerator, medicine cabinet supplies pile up, often past their expiration dates, said pharmacist Hugh Mobley of Mobley Drugs.

    And just like the refrigerator, a medicine cabinet needs to be cleaned out regularly.

    The new federal prescription drug disposal guidelines urge Americans to:

    – Take unused, unneeded or expired prescription drugs out of their original containers and throw them in the trash.
