  • 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.

  • Boy rams car into home

    Details are still sketchy about a bizarre incident last week in which a car sped into a mobile home on Cambridge Drive in the Smoke Rise community.

    Pam Jeffers came home April 22 to see the front left corner of her trailer severely damaged. Neighbors say a boy was driving a 1999 Ford Crown Victoria that ran off the road, cut through the yard and rammed into the front left corner of the home.

    Jeffers' brother had been asleep in his room on that side of the home. He was the only person in the home at the time. He said the impact felt as if a hurricane or earthquake had hit.
