  • Powers Norrell best candidate for Senate

    I was born and raised in Lancaster. I now live in Columbia, but I keep up with what’s going on in my hometown. I would like to respond to Cindy Rodgers’ letter to the editor concerning the upcoming Senate race between Mandy Powers Norrell and Mick Mulvaney.

  • Writer questions real reason for shortage

    Well, the oil companies and the gas stations have found a way around being investigated for price gouging. I tried to get gas Wednesday night and every station I went to was either closed or roped off.

    It seems to be a coincidence that they are running out of gas just as Attorney General Henry McMaster started investigating gas stations for price gouging.

  • Group questions why program terminated

    We are concerned citizens. We would like to know why our group at Catawba Mental Health Center has been terminated.

    Our psychosocial rehabilitative group has been beneficial to us in preparing us to participate in the community and take better care of ourselves.

    We have enjoyed coming to the meetings two-five days a week. We are shocked and disappointed in changes being made in our services.

    We need services to prevent us from having too much time on our hands.

    This often leads to our being rehospitalized, which costs our state much more.

  • Mulvaney 'open, honest, willing to help'

    On Sept. 21, in a back room of the Lancaster County Library, a scary thing happened. S.C. Rep. and S.C. Senate hopeful, Mick Mulvaney walked into a room of parents of special needs children. This was actually very brave of Mulvaney since he does not have a child with a disability and may have not had a clue as to what the joys, struggles and hopes of these parents were.

    Here we are, fellow Americans. We are down to the final months to make our final decisions about who we are going to vote for president and vice president.

  • Republican women shocked by Smith's letter on Palin and Norrell

    As Republican women, we suspect our vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin would cringe to know that her name was being used to try to promote a Democrat candidate as liberal as Mandy Powers Norrell. We would think her choice in this race would be an easy one – she would support Mick Mulvaney, the Republican candidate for State Senate, a true conservative reformer. We do, too.

  • Buford Rec center becomes a reality

    Mid-August marked a special time in the Buford community.

    The eastern Lancaster County area had plenty of reason to celebrate as the long-awaited Buford Recreation Center was opened.

    With the opening of the Buford Rec Center, now each area in the county – Lancaster, Indian Land, Kershaw and Buford – has a rec facility.

    That was the goal of the county when this project was begun and now it’s a red-letter day – well, in Buford terms, maroon-letter day – for local recreation.

  • Remember: Evolution is a theory

    The letter “No credible evidence of reptile-to-bird” in the Sept. 3 edition of The Lancaster News has factual errors. The article that prompted the letter is a story about “4-H chickens greet returning North Elementary students.”
