  • Would you like to spend an elegant evening in support of the arts?

    On Saturday, Feb. 2, the Lancaster County Council of the Arts will host its biggest fundraiser of the year.

    The 18th annual LCCA gala, entitled Art & Soul, promises an evening of dancing with silent and live auctions to support Lancaster County’s art programs. The black-tie-optional event begins at 7 p.m. in the Bradley Arts and Sciences Building on the University of South Carolina Lancaster campus.

  • Happy New Year, friends and family of the Lancaster County Council of the Arts.

    As in previous years, the main theme for many of the articles I’ve read so far in 2013 centers around physical health and activity, happiness, mental well-being and living longer and better.   
    Here are some of the things I’ve learned that relate to all of the above:

  • Who’s going to win the big game this year? You are. After all, the key to a winning party is in the company you invite and the snacks you serve.

    I’ll leave the invite list up to you, I sure can help with the snacks. At www.justapinch.com, we’ve been cooking up a sporty storm in search of the best game day eats.

    Thanks to all of the entries we received in the Third Annual Sporty Snack Showdown contest – there was no shortage of tasty candidates.

  • Bryce Blanton, a member of Boy Scout Troop No. 72, recently completed his Eagle project. Blanton’s project was to renovate the outdoor fish pond at North Elementary School and build a pergola to shade the pond. He also performed landscaping and general repairs to improve the school’s natural classroom area. Overall, 20 volunteers spent more than 120 hours to complete this project. As a scout, Branton has held leadership positions of scribe, quartermaster and librarian, and has earned 29 merit badges.

  • Mental illness is a subject that has become less taboo in recent years, and a Heath Springs man has written a book on the topic, in the hopes of helping others who struggle with it.

    At 67, this is Mike Addison’s first published book, and is entitled “The Life Boat – One Man’s Journey with Mental Illness.”

    It chronicles Addison’s 50-year struggle with a chemical imbalance, depression/anxiety disorder and severe obsessive compulsive disorder.

  • Springs Memorial Hospital

    On Friday, Feb. 1, Springs Memorial Hospital will once again join the American Heart Association’s National Go Red for Women campaign and is inviting all of Lancaster and the surrounding area, both males and females, to join with them on this day by wearing the color red.  

  • CHARLESTON – Charleston Southern University recently recognized Robert H. “Bobby” Edwards of Lancaster for his years of service to the University, most recently as a member of the Board of Trustees.

    Edwards, president and owner of Catawba Fish Camp, 6131 Lancaster Highway, Fort Lawn, has been a longtime supporter of the university and has served in numerous capacities, including: the Board of Trustees, the Board of Visitors and the Buccaneer Club Board of Directors.

  • Canned soup is my friend.  Like any ingredient – expensive or not – it is what you make of it, and let me tell you, there are some really tasty, economical casserole recipes out there that elevate the humble can of soup to an art form.

  • GREAT FALLS – The Bible tells us of a crucifixion that took place nearly 2,000 years ago on a hill called Golgotha in Jerusalem.

    Three men were crucified on wooden crosses placed on the hillside.

    On one cross was a vile, arrogant man who was completely unremorseful for any wrongdoing. On the other cross hung a man who was guilty of a crime but sought repentance and mercy and found it.

    On the center cross hung Jesus Christ who was completely innocent of any crime or action that was considered sin.

  • New Life Free Will Baptist Church

    Several of the youth group leaders at New Life Free Will Baptist Church, 1622 Springdale Road, felt that God wanted them to teach children to serve others. They decided to take toys to the children in the community around the church. The leaders spoke with their pastor, the Rev. Douglas Pate, and approached him to ask if they could do the toy project, and to make sure that everyone involved would be safe.
