Thanks to Band for outstanding job at library

Richard Band devoted 35 years to the Lancaster County Library and it’s likely his legacy will be felt for years to come.
Band, 64, retired May 31 after spending nearly half of his life improving and expanding the Lancaster County Library system.
Band’s impact is obvious.

The Last Hurray

Depending on the route you choose, it’s roughly 750 miles from Lancaster to Conesus Lake, N.Y.

Sometimes, the cultural gap of the 11-plus hour drive is even greater.
That was one of the first lessons Louis Smith, manager of Valvoline Express Care, learned when he relocated to South Carolina several years ago.
Smith recalls the day he crossed paths with a lane of drivers who had pulled onto the shoulder of the road and just sat there for a line of traffic headed in the opposite direction.

County tied up over budget

It took almost an hour of discussion and three separate votes, but Lancaster County Council eventually approved second reading of its proposed 2013-14 county budget Monday night, June 10.

That was a make-up for the May 21 meeting, which didn’t happen because a quorum wasn’t present.

It’s important to sustain hope when facing cancer

Hope is a curious thing. It’s about looking forward to something positive and refusing to give up. It’s about persisting in the face of adversity, even when the odds and the facts seem to be working against you. It’s about creating positive energy that can nourish both body and soul.

Trees provide a sense of time and place

My sister recently sent me interesting newspaper articles about old trees on two Virginia college campuses. In both cases the trees were in rapidly declining health and deemed safety hazards. There were emotional outpourings of sadness by students, alumni and townspeople as each was scheduled for removal. But then, something wonderful happened.
At Virginia Tech an ancient sycamore had stood prominently on Henderson Lawn, the southern entrance to campus, since before the university was established in 1872.
