It was great to read the June 3 story about Nikki and Bobby Mims helping Linda Thompson with her broken-down car. Good to know there are kind people willing to help a stranded person.
The goodness of the story went sour near the end, to hear what happened to her mechanic, David Starnes. You should have included the name of the shop where he worked so all in Lancaster could avoid using his shop.

The annual Youth Serve camp is coming up in Kershaw – an amazing week packed with learning, service opportunities and fun for teens and young-adult mentors.
The camp helps participants develop skills that they can put to good use: physical, social and occupational skills, along with character education.
The teens, ages 13 to 19, will learn construction skills by working under the leadership of volunteer contractors. In addition, they will learn the joy of serving their community and helping those less fortunate than themselves.

Why is it that certain gravel roads get treated with dust suppressant and some don’t?
Let me tell you. Some do because the residents either work for Lancaster County in some capacity or they are a sheriff’s deputy. This is unfair, and I think the people of Lancaster need to know.
I’m a homeowner here in Lancaster County, and it’s a shame that my children and I cannot even enjoy the outside of our home because of this health hazard.

Thank you very much for last Sunday’s editorial on Archie Parnell. I’ve met him several times and read just about every piece written on him since spring 2017, and yours is the only one that captures his personality, that goes beyond the humor and the nerdiness to the decency.
It’s also the only one I’ve read so far that acknowledges what his failure means for our congressional district. Thanks again for a meaningful read.
