Cat thief Gus headlines Aiken small theft wave
A rash of minor thefts around Ray Lane in the historic district of Aiken is tied to Gus, an 11 year old domestic short haired cat owned by Susie Chesser. The cat, described as one foot tall with green eyes and a gray coat, has been stealing items ranging from news papers to gloves and small pottery pieces. Chesser notes Gus began his klepto habit about a year and a half ago and now steals for pride rather than living prey.

Health center fills vacancies after chief ouster and resignation
The Margaret J. Weston Health Care Center names Sonia Allen as program director and Dr. Deborah Foley as interim medical director following the firing of chief executive Tony Dunn on April 23 and Dr. Tom Moore’s 80 day resignation notice. Allen, longtime employee and former office manager, will assume duties Dunn held. Foley, staff physician, will replace Moore.
