There has always been a distrust of government from the very beginning of our nation. That is why the founders put in place the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Unfortunately, as we have seen under the Obama regime, U.S. citizens are under attack simply...
Members of my family stepped out of college and into great jobs. They didn’t major in poetry or medieval jousting or something of that sort. They majored in things that can be used.
It is incomprehensible that the School Board can consider allowing North Augusta to avoid taxes for a frivolous activity when they already have a freshman academy, and Aiken High and South Aiken do not. Yes, these academies are expensive. But if we are...
I do not understand how someone can be arrested for shooting dogs in New Ellenton and return to school the next day. It is no wonder we have such major problems in our schools and communities.
With the recent murder and increase in crime in a once-vibrant neighborhood, it is time to make a few changes. It makes sense from a public safety point of view to close some outlets and make Crosland Park more like Hahn Village, from a traffic standpoint.
My husband and I recently saw “The Drowsy Chaperone” at the Playhouse. What a hilarious play! The cast was outstanding. It was as if the play was made for these actors. If you want a fun evening, this is a must see, and it was so easy...
No one in the County government saw the need for a location for the coroner’s office in the new complex? Surely it could have been designed to meet the coroner’s specific requirements. Now we will spend another half million or so to find and...
Does the person who submitted the article on buying the mall for the County Complex honestly think that the County councilmen are going to give up their unethical behavior and get rid of all the cousins, brother-in-laws, sisters-in-law, fathers, sons, people...
It would be nice to open a plant for felons, men and women. Not a chicken farm or cotton farm, just a decent job with benefits. Felons have got to work, they have to eat, they have to pay their light bills. People need to quit holding people down for making...
The Relay For Life was for the survivors of cancer. Unfortunately, at the start of the luminary ceremony, some others had their own agenda. They need to learn respect for others, leave their attitudes outside the gates and become young ladies if they are to...
It’s too bad the barbershop owner, who was killed over the weekend by those two punks, didn’t have a concealed weapon or a weapon anywhere near so he could have shot them, and saved us the trouble of feeding them for the rest of their lives,...
I live in Windsor, on Cedar Road, and I’ve noticed the last two days that the Highway Department or a DOT dump truck is hauling dirt in a person’s yard. Well, that’s not the highway, that’s a person’s yard. I’ve lived...
This past Wednesday, my husband and I came downtown for lunch. We enjoyed ourselves at a great lunch at Betsy’s on the Corner, and then we took a tour of the downtown. I am in a power wheelchair and was amazed at the lack of accessibility to get into...
To the person complaining about drugs in New Ellenton, that’s the only way we’re going to get anything done, if we make it public. And it’s not just in the city of New Ellenton where we have an issue, it’s the outlying areas of New...
I recently drove down Hitchcock Parkway with a stopwatch. The average speed limit on Hitchcock Parkway is 45 mph, and it took seven minutes and 30 seconds to get from one end to the other. At 30 mph, it took 10 minutes. I just say how dare people be so...
I would like to congratulate the union craftsmen on the completion of No. 1 World Trade Center. Even Governor Hailey should stand up and take notice, even though she is a union-buster.
