  • Other Voices to give free concert tonight

    And as Randy Roberts dances to "Whoomp! (There it is)," he never forgets to put his hands in the air to complement the energy infused in that 1990s rap tune.

    Members of the chorus group Other Voices gave it their all Tuesday evening during their final practice before a free concert the singing group will be staging tonight.

  • Local support group helps Parkinson's patients

    KERSHAW – Harold Williams' hands sometimes tremble.

    It's a classic sign of Parkinson's disease, which Williams, 76, was diagnosed with 10 years ago.

    His Parkinson's condition is minor, but his symptoms were significant enough to affect his work as a barber. He retired from that business but stills oversees the car wash he owns in Kershaw.

    "I do just fine," Williams said. "But sometimes I get a little depressed."

  • Soccer coach teaches true sportsmanship

    Over the past few years, I believe that the Lancaster Recreation Department would agree with me in saying that soccer has become one of the fastest growing sports in this area. With this growth have come many exciting opportunities for the youth of this area. My daughter, who has played soccer for the last five years, has had the unique fortune to be a part of one such experience.

    This year Lancaster organized a Futbol club to promote youth soccer at a higher level. My 11-year-old has been fortunate enough to be a member of this club in its opening season.
