The men and women of the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office and the Lancaster Police Department put their lives on the line everyday. They are at risk everytime they put on their uniforms. They do their best to protect and serve our community. But it doesn’t make any difference because the judicial system just gives criminals a slap on the wrist.

We would like to thank the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office for its prompt response to the robbery at Williams Financial Services on Oct. 18. The officers’ expertise and professionalism led to the arrest of the robbers the same day.
We applaud your dedication and attentiveness regarding the safety and well-being of the town of Kershaw.

My mother-in-law, Avis Rowell Hammond, who died Feb. 25, 2012, lived to be 100 years old.
She had five sons and two daughters. Her first three sons, Max, Lloyd and Bobby were all in the Navy at the same time during the Korean War, and all were on the same ship, which was very unusual in that day and time.

Those of you who like R&B, contemporary rock and a little country rock missed a treat if you weren’t at Bradley Auditorium on Oct. 16. Edwin McCain never disappoints. He even has some new stories. His saxaphone player is excellent and is given ample solos during concerts.
If McCain returns to Lancaster, I hope there will be a larger audience. It’s good to support the arts, but even better to support South Carolina artists.
