  • UPS making deliveries by golf cart in IL

    INDIAN LAND – The holidays are the busiest time of year for shipping companies like UPS, but two Indian Land neighborhoods aren’t seeing many of the familiar brown trucks.

    Instead, UPS is delivering packages in Legacy Park and Sun City Carolina Lakes by golf cart.

    “While the usage of golf carts is not widespread, it is one of the many ways that the UPS network ‘flexes’ during our peak season,” said UPS spokeswoman Rebecca Treacy-Lenda.

    Rep. Jimmy Neal, Senator-elect Mick Mulvaney and U.S. Congressman John Spratt echoed Rawl’s sentiments.

  • We need to find solution to economic problems

    Lancaster County used to have it all. Now everything is slowly going away. For example, there used to be a skating rink, now there isn’t. The same can be said for jobs, companies and entertainment. It all is dulling out and going away. Lancaster is nothing now, compared to what it used to be 15-20 years ago. More and more of the younger people aren’t going to have much to stay here for in the job, business and entertainment area. For many young people, the only ties here are family and friends.

  • BHS students donate to local humane society

    The Humane Society of Lancaster got an early Christmas gift from a few area youth last week.

    About 15 students at Buford High School make up the newly formed Animal Rights Club. The group met throughout the semester and facilitated two projects – both of which benefit the local humane society.

    The first project was called Beauty or the Beast.

    In this project, BHS faculty members competed against their dogs or cats, and students gave $2 to sponsor and vote for their favorite pet.

    Those donations generated $186.

    Bailey’s father, T.J. Bailey, worked for the Lancaster and Rock Hill police departments, and his grandfather, the late Harvey Coates, worked for the State Law Enforcement Division.

    “I never wanted to get into law enforcement,” Bailey said.

    Bailey, 41, went to work at a company manufacturing high-voltage transformers. It was good money, but Bailey said it was mind-numbingly boring.
