The Aiken Standard highlights its 1867 founding with publisher Rhonda Overbey and executive editor John Boyette guiding the paper alongside news editor Holly Kemp.
The column argues vaccines reduce severe illness and death, notes breakthrough cases occur, and cites statistics to compare vaccinated versus unvaccinated outcomes. It discusses CDC guidance shifts for mask wearing and infection spread, while wishing Sen Graham a speedy recovery and framing vaccination as protective overall.
Ex sports writer John Boyette sums up the Tokyo Games with notes on Team USA leading medals, Simone Biles mental health stance, fashion debates in athletics, new sports added and the COVID 19 bubble that kept athletes safe. He notes controversial protests, standout performers, and optimism for Paris 2024 and future Winter Beijing 2022 games.
Dick Dewar of Aiken argues the South Carolina Supreme Court ruling that counties cannot levy road maintenance fees as taxes could force retroactive refunds and millions in losses. He urges disclosure of projects and costs, and questions how funds have been used since 1997.
The Aiken Standard invites signed letters with writer address and daytime phone for verification. Do not exceed 500 words and include a brief headline. Anonymous or pen name submissions are not published. Email to letters@aikenstandard.com or mail to Letters to the Editor, P.O. Box 456, Aiken SC 29801 for publication consideration.
