Frank Reid expresses disappointment as he ponders who shot his dog less than three weeks ago. 

Reid said his business partner, Jayne Reid, was walking the tan-and-white beagle and another dog on Thermal Trail the afternoon of Nov. 13.

Thermal Trail is adjacent to the Reids’ Bermuda High Soaring, a flight training facility off S.C. 903 in Lancaster County’s Flat Creek area. 

It’s hard to believe giving up one soda or snack could help keep someone’s lights on this Christmas.

But that’s the strategy behind Elaine Adkins latest plea, which she calls “the $1 challenge.” As executive director of HOPE in Lancaster, a charitable organization which provides food and help with rent and utility bills for local families, Adkins is asking the community to make small sacrifices to help their neighbors.
