TalkBack for Nov. 5
Chili cook-off
The Chili Cook-Off downtown has not been in the paper. Who won?
Editors note: The Chili Cook-Off results were published on Monday, Oct. 26. Newberry Hall won first place, Aiken High Culinary got second place and Mammoth Outfitters won third place. To read the full story, visit www.aikenstandard.com/results/1026Flavors.
Phillies mystery
What does the HK stand for on the Philadelphia Phillies shirt?
Editors note: The HK stands for Harry Kalas, the Phillies announcer who died April 13.
Dog catcher
I would like to know what it will take or who will need to be called to get the Aiken County dog catcher to do his job and do something about the dogs that are being allowed to run wild on Mount Beulah Road in Windsor. These dogs are destroying my property and harming my cats. Calls to Animal Control don't seem to help. Can someone tell me why we are paying for someone to have this position when it's clear they are not doing the job?
Bus shop
When bus drivers call in a service call, why won't the school bus shop ever find the exact locations?
DuPont safety
Thank goodness for DuPont. They are back in New Ellenton, and we can all sleep better knowing there is someone with enough talent to operate that place.
Public transit
I wish Aiken's public transportation system was the worse I'd ever seen but for that to be true, Aiken would have to have a public transportation system.
Earth bound
Stop going to the moon. Have you noticed stormy and rainy weather every time we do? All those gas and oil fumes go into the air. God made this world and everything in it. He can surely take care of it. Eleven people have lost their lives and there will be more. Man will never be God.
