This past Wednesday I had a very hard day at work. There was a lot of heavy lifting, and for a man who is approximately twenty-five years past his physical prime that is not a good thing. I just don’t recover as quickly as when I was younger. When I got home, I sat down […]
Letter to the Editor: Lost in Cyber Space
April 12, 2018 By
Certainly, the internet is a plus for mankind, but it is also a bane to states’ funding due to an unworkable “hit and miss” remote tax collection system. The 45 states which have a sales tax are losing over $13,000,000,000 yearly in taxes on remote transactions according to an estimate by the GAO. South Carolina’s […]
Letter to Editor: TVs Cover Fire Drill
March 29, 2018 By
We should all thank local TV stations WIS and WLTX for their apparent renewed interest in our county. Hopefully, the stations’ recent rapid response to cover a fire drill at FCHS was emblematic of their commitment to cover Fairfield County.

From the Pulpit: I Turned 35 Last Week
March 29, 2018 By
B It’s hard to believe that I recently turned 35 years old this past week. As a matter of fact, everyone who knows me believes this is simply impossible! Well, the fact of the matter I did turn 35 years old just a few days ago. On February 27, 1983 I was baptized into Christ, […]
Guest Editorial: Ridgeway Council is overreaching
March 22, 2018 By
I found myself reminded today of the necessity to keep the relative size of things in perspective. The term big-government does not refer just to the number of people involved or the geographic area it represents. A prime example of that is the over-reach that the Ridgeway Town Council is executing over the monies raised […]
Editorial: A Fact by Any Other Name is Still a Fact
March 15, 2018 By
RIDGEWAY – If you frequent The Voice’s Facebook page – and we hope you do – you have probably noticed that the newspaper is under attack from Ridgeway mayoral candidate and Councilwoman Angela Harrison for omitting what she calls ‘facts’ in recent stories about her perception that the Pig on the Ridge steering committee has […]
Letter to Editor: We Only Need $2.7M
March 15, 2018 By
I would like to provide clarification on the recent presentation made before Fairfield County Council by Fairfield Memorial Hospital’s CEO and CFO. It is my understanding that there may have been some difficultly hearing all that was said during the meeting. Each year Fairfield Memorial Hospital and other County related agencies submit their annual budget […]

Guest Editorial: Thriving Local Businesses mean Thriving Communities
March 8, 2018 By
If you’ve got shopping to do, the national “big-box” and ecommerce retailers can seem like an appealing option. They’re often located close to the Interstate. With huge advertising budgets, they bombard us with tantalizing deals and “doorbuster specials.” And in the Internet era it’s easier than ever to make purchases with a few clicks on […]
