Thank you for pondering
Re: The letter from Geraldine Stanley (Pondering) dated 15 February 2013. I would like to say "Thank You" for taking the time to write that letter.
Pondering...
As a senior citizen I ponder a lot. It seems the older I get the more pondering I do. I watch the news, read a book or two, read the papers, read my Bible, and here are some things that cross my mind.
Republican obstructionism
An open letter to South Carolina U.S. 5th District Rep. Mick Mulvaney
CPO Association thanks community for support
The Camden Police Officers Association appreciates the generosity for our annual Christmas event for children and needy citizens with toys and food during the holidays. We also provided fruit bags for the Kershaw County Council on Aging a few days before Christmas.
Carolina and Clemson football
The college football season is over and many football widows are excited about that. Now on Saturdays the honey-do list may get a little more attention. For Carolina and Clemson fans, it's been a great season. Both teams were 11-2, won exciting dramatic bowl games and were ranked in the top 10 nationally in the final coaches' poll.
Moral and spiritual death
Once again we are faced with a horrible massacre at a school. This time it was a Connecticut elementary school. As frustrating to every American as they are devastating to those immediately involved, my prayers are with those suffering beyond my imagination.
Thanks for support
On Friday, January 11, 2013, my brother, Dewitt Peake, was driving to work when he was killed in a collision with a car.
Saddened by all of us
I never failed to get excited after coming home from my travels and seeing the Kershaw County line sign as I'm heading towards home. I have such fond memories of growing up here, being in elementary school in Pine Tree Hill and waiting for the Christmas parade on Broad Street, visiting the Kershaw County Library and being read to by the librarians there, playing tennis at Rectory Square and Hampton Park, swimming, boating and ...
Officers need radar training
My son was recently pulled over and given a speeding ticket by a county officer for allegedly going 58 mph in a 45 mph zone. I don't dispute the fact that my son was speeding due to I wasn't in the car with my son, and children at 16 children don't often tell the truth to their parents. However, while in court my son refused to plead guilty due to he, as I do, ...
Arming citizens a deterrent
Arming citizens is an evidence-based deterrent to crime. In 1982, in Kennesaw, Ga., a suburb of Atlanta and a community similar in size to our own, an ordinance was passed requiring every household, including renters, to own a gun and ammunition. The crime rate in this small Georgia community plummeted and has remained at the same low rate for 31 years. It has the lowest crime rate per capita in the United States. ...
Grateful for KershawHealth
The year 2012 was a deeply challenging one for me and my family. We faced a number of life-changing events. From the beginning of the year to the end, KershawHealth -- in various ways -- was a part of our journey. There could be no better companion for the rough road we traveled.
Venerate King’s birthday
The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said "Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love. It destroys community and makes brotherhood impossible."
Living on Social Security
This mother/mother-in-law lives on Social Security and a part-time job. Obama's mother-in-law lives in the White House on our taxes and wants for nothing. Social Security tells us we can't make but so much money or they will take back one dollar for every two dollars we make over. Now, when you turn 65, you have to pay Medicare out of your Social Security; then you have to pay supplemental ...
Guns and gun laws not the problem
Guns and gun laws are not the problem of deaths in the United States. To solve lots of our violent crimes, the whole nation has to stop ignoring the needs of mentally ill people. We, as a nation, have to stop the bullying, which I feel is the reason why lots of gangs are formed and lots of suicides and mass murders are committed.
Black Heritage and America
Recently, as I tarried the ground of the estate of President Thomas Jefferson, the first 18 United States presidents and this coming February 2013 Black History month came to mind.
