Aiken Eyes Higher Tree City USA Honor
City leaders celebrated another Tree City USA year and set sights on the Tree City Growth Award. Mayor Fred Cavanaugh and City Manager Roger LeDuc planted a Persian Parrotia on Park Avenue to replace a removed crab apple, with Horticulturist Tom Rapp noting expected 20 to 25 foot growth and spring blooms. The effort underscores a broader push to elevate Aiken among Palmetto State cities achieving higher recognition.

The article argues that being a school superintendent is a thankless job with high scrutiny and endless conflicts with school boards. It suggests the core issue is the job design itself rather than individual leaders, advocating simpler powers focused on accountability, charter options, and parent choice to reduce conflicts and reduce "spears" aimed at leaders.
