Put items of necessity on...

Well sir, we fell for it again! The merchants pulled the wool over our eyes and we bit hook, line and sinker.

There are normal folks who just go nuts when the sales ads come out.

Bargains galore, save hundreds, get your best deal, we are almost giving the stuff away.

You gotta  stand out in the cold for a few hours, but once the doors open, it is a nightmare of merchandise marked down so low it makes you feel like you are stealing it.

Mascot choice worries ‘...

I feel compelled to question the selection of the Tomahawks as a mascot for our new elementary school in Indian Land. 

With so many media stories telling of children being expelled from school for bringing weapons to school, are you sure you want to select a tomahawk as a mascot?

How about the Catawbas? Or some other recognition of the Indian Land area of Lancaster County?

Don’t select a weapon and then have to discipline a student for bringing one to school.

Business, innovation and the...

Recently I had occasion to be in all four parts of South Carolina, talking with a wide variety of business people about innovation, our state and its future. What they said was both extremely encouraging and extremely discouraging.

LCEDC search committee tours...

They turned on lights, checked air conditioning systems and took snapshots as they passed from room to room.
Pausing every few minutes, the small group would reconvene and compare notes before setting out to tour their next destination.
Though it sounds more like a family scouting for its new home, the group was actually Lancaster County Council’s Economic Development Office Location Committee. Its mission – to find a permanent home for the Lancaster County Economic Development Corp.

Lancaster woman sentenced in...

A Lancaster woman pleaded guilty and was sentenced this week for unemployment insurance fraud.

Consider ceding IL to Mecklenburg

By golly, another issue of The Lancaster News hits the newsstands and the opinion page is full of gripes from Indian Land.

Seems to me I recently read that there was a mix-up by early surveyors and the state lines just ain’t where we figured.

Maybe this is an opportunity for our bedeviled County Council to distance itself from traffic congestion, cluster development, indoor shooting ranges, motorists looking for cheap gas and getting fussed at in general.
