  • Writer doesn’t agree with Cook’s comments

    I am a longtime Lancaster County resident and I support Barry Faile for sheriff. He has done a great job for us as sheriff. He has put more officers on the street, busted gangs and infiltrated a lot of the drug trade.

  • Transplants bring a lot to the table besides changes

    It is indeed unfortunate that Myrtle Porter “resents these Northern trans­plants who are changing everything.”
    Many of us transplants are not only responsible for this, but also for our many and varied efforts to improve the lives of the less fortunate in our area.
    It’s people like Myrtle who appreciate those efforts in one breath and then resent us in the next.
    Myrtle and her ilk also need a short history lesson.

The original press release did not contain the name of the person arrested. When editing the release, The Lancaster News added the person’s name because she had been identified by the State Law Enforcement Division in the newspaper’s prior stories.

  • Take the time to thank officers during this week

    During National Police Week, which is May 13-19, I’d like to encourage you to take the time to recognize our local law enforcement officers for their service to the Lancaster community. 
    Our officers’ face many risks and challenges and their sacrifice and service are often taken for granted.
    If you encounter a deputy, police officer, highway patrolman or corrections officer, show your support and let them know how much their work means to you this week.
