The Aiken Standard, founded in 1867, lists RHONDA OVERBEY as Publisher JOHN BOYETTE as Executive Editor and HOLLY KEMP as News Editor.
The Charleston Post and Courier notes Juneteenth marks freedom declared in 1865 with General Order No 3 in Galveston and links the day to ongoing calls for racial justice. It highlights the federal holiday decision by President Biden and reflects on past emancipation milestones across Beaufort Charleston and Marion Square.
Column by John Boyette recalls Janny Bijas and Jackie Seawell, two local figures who died in 2024. Bijas, 64, owned Up Your Alley and Olive Oils, and Seawell, 79, golf pro, served at Woodside Sage Valley and Houndslake. Memorials drew many friends and golf community leaders.
Ronald L. Feller of Aiken argues that the Second Amendment should be treated with contemporary regulation not as a perpetual shield. He contends militias are obsolete, the phrase well regulated implies government oversight, and that “the people” now includes all citizens rather than a restricted group.
The Aiken Standard invites readers to submit signed letters with the writer’s address and daytime phone for verification. Letters must be under 500 words, may be edited, require a brief headline, and are published at the paper’s discretion with no anonymous submissions.
