The Aiken Standard traces its origin to 1867 with Rhonda Overbey as Publisher John Boyette serving as Executive Editor and Holly Kemp as News Editor guiding the newsroom.
A guest editorial reflects on 2020’s hardship led by COVID-19 and social unrest, acknowledges historic suffering, and urges a hopeful shift in 2021 toward unity, progress, and civil discourse across communities and politics.
John Boyette reflects on failing to keep resolutions for 2021, notes personal goals like gym withdrawal and walks, hopes for safer Masters Tournament attendance in April, and laments COVID-19 impacts including vaccine rollout and losses of Chuck Yeager Phil Niekro and Dawn Wells, urging better pandemic progress.
Two letters discuss 2020’s political division and pandemic struggles. Richard Eichler reflects on impeachment rhetoric and media bias, while Joan M. LaCombe offers hopeful verses about resilience, kindness, and patience as 2021 begins.
The Aiken Standard invites signed letters with writer address and daytime phone for verification. Submissions must stay under 500 words, may be edited for length and taste, and must include a brief headline. Anonymous or pen name letters and organized campaign letters are not published.
