  • Organization seeks info on WWII women workers

    American Rosie the Riveter Association is trying to locate women in Lancaster and the surrounding area, who worked on the home front during World War II.
    Thousands of women worked to support the war effort as riveters, welders, electricians, inspectors in plants, sewing clothing and parachutes for the military, ordnance workers, rolling bandages, clerical and many other jobs, such as volunteer workers collecting scrap metals and other critical materials.

  • Historic church restoration tedious, painstaking project

    Ever wondered why it takes so long and seems to cost so much to restore an historic building? Well, Conner Tindal can give you a few answers. Tindal has been working, going on three years, to repair masonry and plaster at the Cultural Arts Center.
    Although there’s plenty to be done, his primary focus is repairing structural cracks and sealing cracks that could work their way through to the outside, wasting energy to heat and cool, and allowing entry to unwanted visitors like bats and insects. In the process, his work is also improving the look of the building.

  • New York, nor county has right to tell us how to live

    Back in 2012, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg passed an ordinance restricting the size of sugary drinks us free Americans can drink. This is another example of how liberals want to control how we live. That is the definition of a liberal. They know better than you and if you listen to them you will live a long and healthy life.

  • Washington needs to face realities of Democrats

    After reading Carlton B. Washington’s guest column, “Is it a great day in S.C.?” in the Aug. 11 edition of The Lancaster News, I am wondering if he actually thinks he is going to get sympathy for his cause, basically to get more cash so he can give more to the Democratic National Committee?

  • Time to stop judging and work together

    I am writing in response to John P. Lage’s letter, “Liberals are destroying American,” in the Aug. 7 edition of The Lancaster News.
    I beg to differ with Mr. Lage because it is we, ourselves, who are holding ourselves back. It is not for us to judge anyone.
    In the end, God will do it. It’s in his word. You need to take time to read the Bible.
    We, as a people, are not perfect. Jesus was the only man who walked this Earth who was and still is alive today.

  • Lage off key in his recent letter

    Well sir, I recently applauded Mr. John P. Lage Jr. for his timely comments on recent issues, but I must say he seems to be a might off key in his article, “Liberals are destroying America” in the Aug. 7, 2013 edition of “The Lancaster News.”
    I have lived four score years, served 10 years in the military during two distractions, worked 30 years in two Fortune 500 corporations and frankly I was unaware that Liberals had ruined the morals of this great nation.

  • Progressivism not destructive

    This is in response to Rudy Schmidt’s rant printed on 7/31/2013.
    Unfortunately, Detroit is now in bankruptcy. This is due mainly to population decline as a result of auto industry job losses and also political corruption, which can be found in the U.S. Congress and in many jurisdictions across the country.
    Benefits for Detroit retirees are in jeopardy, but these aren’t “free;”  these benefits were earned, as are Medicare and Social Security.
    Mr. Schmidt stated that Democrats are famous for their failed education system.

  • Overgrowth on road sides is dangerous

    The sides of our roads in Lancaster County are a mess. I’ve never seen them as bad as they are now. I was pulling out of Riverside Grocery and Grill and a car was coming off the S.C. 9 Bypass.
    The growth was so bad I could not even see the car. I called the highway department and was told the grass would be cut in a few days. That was more than a week ago and the grass is still not cut.
    The same problems exist at Memorial Park Road and S.C. 9. Other people have made the the same complaint.
    This is a really bad and dangerous problem.
