I am writing in response to Dr. L. Brooks Walker’s opinion column in Sunday’s paper, headlined “President is getting a raw deal.”
Sorry, Dr. Walker, but he is getting just what he dished out.
Let’s go back to the ’60s. The Black Panthers were labeled “militant,” but the KKK marched, recruited, burned crosses and did whatever they wanted to do.

Scott Edgar, the newly hired county engineer, will speak to Indian Land Action Council at 7 p.m. Aug. 17 at the Del Webb Library, 7641 Charlotte Highway (U.S. 521).
Lancaster County Council will hear second reading on a tax ordinance for a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) on Aug. 14. This tax money will support about four staff members to oversee the Panhandle’s stormwater.

Editor’s note: Jerell White, a Benedict College student home on summer break, disappeared after walking away from a party in the Primus community early July 5. His body was found in a nearby pond after a four-day search.

The family of Jerell Ketron Eugene White would like to thank everyone who has shown support throughout this process.

There are really no words to express our heartfelt thanks for the sympathy and support everyone has extended toward our family during this time of loss.

I’m responding to the county council’s ousting of Planning Commission member Jerry Holt.
Commissioner Holt was an advocate of protecting the River Road property from overdevelopment that could impact Indian Land High School and Indian Land Middle School. He had the diligence to foresee that adding multiple apartments to the area not only would have a negative impact on River Road, but would add traffic to Doby’s Bridge Road, which would be unable to support the added traffic, endangering the students in the elementary school on Doby’s Bridge Road.
