Opinions
Chronicle correspondent Rachel Haynie passed away last week. This is a loss to our newspaper readers and we who knew her.
Here are a few tributes from readers.
I feel what the buggy whip makers must have felt 100 years ago. A noisy, smoke-belching contraption on wheels was about to put them out of business. I grew up reading newspapers. I loved them, delivered them, wrote for and edited them and finally owned a few of them. Now I find that fewer and fewer of us like to pick real newspapers up, hold them in our hands, and thumb through them to read about our neighbors and friends, check on the health and welfare of our community, and make important shopping decisions. Readers’ needs and wants are changing and we have to change with them, too.
You may not be aware of it but an important event occurred last week. After 15 years online, the Chronicle and the Lake Murray Fish Wrapper introduced a new electronic edition. We did it at the request of many of you who wanted to be able to read it on your smart phones.

Business
SC Electric & Gas electricity ratepayers may find this surprising.
The company wants state regulators to let it lower rates — not for electricity but for natural gas.
Lake Murray is our state’s 4th largest overall lake market, with home listings at more than $217 million.
What do you do when you need workers but applicants flunk drug tests?
That is happening more often than you may think.
