The Lancaster Post 31 senior team continued its quest for postseason play with a 9-2 American Legion road win over Clover Post 38 on Wednesday night.

The 5-5 seniors, with productive bats, forged a 6-2 lead after six innings and cruised to the seven-run win.

 A Lancaster County man died less than a day after the all-terrain vehicle he was driving collided with a deer. 

James Arant, 35, was pronounced dead at 6:50 a.m. Thursday at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, said Lancaster County Chief Deputy Coroner Karla Deese. 

Arant was driving a 2006 Polaris four-wheeler on Taxahaw Road at 11:30 p.m. Wednesday when the vehicle was struck by a deer, according to the S.C. Highway Patrol. 

Lancaster County Council will hold its final vote Monday, June 27, on the county’s 2011-12 budget.
The $33,333,179 budget includes tax hikes of 1.2 mills in the county’s general fund, a one-tenth of a mill increase in the University of South Carolina Lancaster fund and an increase of $5 in the county road fee.

They have a wholesalers license and their product is certified as a South Carolina product. In fact, Barbara Lyles and Barbara Hilton even have a certificate from the Department of Homeland Security.

“We are certified as not being terrorists,” Lyles said.

Their product is made in South Carolina and they are licensed to sell. Homeland Security might want to rethink their designation, though, because the cheesecakes Lyles and Hilton make in their small business are definitely “the bomb.”
