  • Retired law officers support Holland

    As former law enforcement officers, we are very concerned with who will be our next solicitor.

    For those not familiar with our criminal justice system, the solicitor is the chief prosecuting attorney for our circuit, which includes Chester, Fairfield and Lancaster counties.

    The solicitor is in charge of prosecuting all criminals in general sessions court. This includes murderers, child molesters, rapists, armed robbers, burglars, thieves, etc.

  • Writer: Newman has good handle on court issues

    The Republican Party’s forum for 6th Circuit solicitor was quite eye-opening. Randy Newman made a convincing case for why we should elect him our next solicitor. He has a good handle on the issues facing the circuit, knows what needs to be done to address the issues and brings an innovative approach to the office.

    Mr. Newman shows commitment and energy for the job and very honestly stated why he should be elected.

  • Don’t pass rezoning for TreeTops project

    Please consider the negative impact that the proposed development by Mattamy Homes will have on Lancaster County School District and prevent the rezoning of the TreeTops property on Van Wyck Road in Lancaster County.

    There is enough interest in keeping this property as a camp for underprivileged children, which is the original plan and best use to avoid overcrowding in the school district.

    Thanks for your favorable consideration to keep TreeTops as a camp for children and deny the rezoning plan for new homes.

    Alfred Brand,

  • Voter doesn’t need Team Graham’s help

    A few weeks ago, I got a mailer from Team Graham, wanting to help me file an absentee ballot. The form asked for all kinds of personal info, including my voter registration number. My first thought was that information is none of your business, just like my vote.

    I have voted absentee for many years. I simply call the Lancaster County Election Commission at (803) 285-2969, and those folks will send you the application. Just as they did recently. As an informed voter, I know how to do this.

  • Democrats protect all Americans

    This a response to Nick Pasquine’s response, “Do Democrats have same response for all issues?,” in the April 17 edition of The Lancaster News.

    His letter was a response to a letter written by me, Michael Jedson, “Remove tea party burden from Americans.” in the April 6 edition of The Lancaster News.

    Democrats don’t waiver in their support of middle and low income Americans and immigrants. Republicans seem to care about the upper 1 percent and the tea partiers only care about themselves.

  • Writer: Nobel does a spin job for voter fraud

    Reading Phil Nobel’s guest column, “Will June Primary in S.C. be honest?,” in the May 16 edition of The Lancaster News reminds me why I no longer vote for any Democrat.

    It is nothing but a column full of spins and cover ups to suit his voter-fraud-is-good agenda.

    First, he gives a history of voting a couple of hundred years ago which was patterned after those in Europe where the Founding Fathers came from.

    We evolved from property ownership to literacy requirements to vote. Guess that did not work too good for Democrats.

  • Dreams do come true

    The word “no” is a very powerful statement. It can tear you down and make you believe you are near your breaking point. “No, Abby, you can’t go back to school – you have a family to raise.”

    Or the famous, “No, your test results are not up to standards.”

    It would have been easy for me to believe all the people who told me “no” and to give up on school and my dreams.

  • Writer grateful for medical response

    On Friday, May 23, my husband had cause to call on the services of a 911 dispatcher, the Lancaster County and Heath Springs Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) and first responder from the volunteer fire department. 

    I would like to thank each responder, on my husband’s behalf, for their prompt, professional and compassionate services during this difficult time. 

    Because of the situation I cannot remember their individual names, and I do apologize for that, and send my heartfelt thanks for a job well done.
