Kershaw town officials have suggested a seemingly unusual location as a possible spot for a helicopter landing pad. 

Earlier this year, Kershaw teen Talf Wrenn told Town Council about his Eagle Scout project, which involves building a landing pad within the town limits. The only favor he asked is that council provide a location. 

At their April 14 meeting, council members suggested the landing pad be installed on the driving range at the Kershaw Golf Course. Previous options proved to be unsuitable. 

Indian Land Elementary School’s fifth grade is about to make school history of sorts this week with its first bona fide school play.

And they’re going all out with a production of Disney’s “Peter Pan.”

The play is set for a one-night showing at 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 26, in the Lancaster High School auditorium. Tickets are $2 at ILES, $4 the night of the show. Proceeds will help finance future productions.

When a detective from the York County Sheriff’s Office called Cindy Lyles on April 1, she naturally thought it was an April Fool’s joke.

After all, why would a car stolen in September 2009 from her Lyles Motors car lot turn up now? 

But that’s exactly what happened. 

York County Detective Branham told Lyles that her missing gold, 2001 Honda Accord EX had been found. And even more surprising to Lyles, the detective said it had been recovered during the bust of a suspected theft ring.

U.S. District 5 Rep. Mick Mulvaney stuck with his pledge to shake things up in Washington, D.C., last week, voting along with fellow House Republicans to approve a budget proposal that aims to cut $6.2 trillion in spending over the next decade.
The vote came after the congressman supported even steeper cuts as co-author of a proposed Republican Study Commission budget and bucked Republican leadership by voting against a continuing resolution to fund the government for the rest of the fiscal year.
