    A proposed firearms ordinance was shot down by Lancaster County Council on Monday night.
    Council members, as well as representatives from a special citizens committee, had been discussing the idea of a negligent-shooting ordinance for months, ever since the shooting death of a horse on a Panhandle ranch last summer.
    But the proposed ordinance was nixed by council Monday after members heard the committee’s recommendation to instead focus on existing state laws.

  • A ghost reappears from Gay Street past

    Sitting in the waiting room at the doctor’s office, we were indeed waiting our turn.

    I glanced up to see a ghost from my past, whom I hadn’t seen since making the final arrangements for my mother and father so many years ago.

    My son was oblivious to the man’s presence and was engrossed in a story about the recreational upgrades for Indian Land in Wednesday’s copy of The Lancaster News.

    Furr’s sister, Cindy Furr, and her 2-year-old niece, McAllister “Mackie” Furr, were on their way to church when one of two vehicles racing on S.C. 49 in the Lake Wylie community crashed into Furr’s car.
