All’s Fair in Love, and Fake Love

It is beyond belief all the hype surrounding the Notre Dame football player’s so-called love life. All this energy being spent. It probably will come out that he was “chumming the waters” for a Heisman. Still, it does not reach a level that the school should be holding press conferences. Are things like this so […]

Facts About Community Center

It has been said a lot lately that the Community Center was given to the Town to be sold and the proceeds used to pay for the park. That’s actually not exactly true. According to the agreement, the “building and land surrounding it was to go to the Town of Blythewood with no restrictions.”  That […]

No Time to Sell Community Center

I wish to comment on the second reading of Administrative Ordinance # 2013.001, Sale of the Community Center. Approximately two years ago, the Blythewood Town Council decided to sell the Community Center property. At that time, I recall that the vote was to sell the Community Center Property for the highest bid in excess of […]

Truth, No Consequences

Information is power, and facts are the nuclear power plant. What seems amazing to me is: For all the years I’ve been stating these facts no one has challenged me, or insinuated that I’m just trying to make trouble for the Jenkinsville Water Company. I suppose because I admit I am trying to expose the […]

Same Old, Same Old

Of the seven S.C. seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, six are held by Republicans and one by a Democrat. The state of Texas has 37 seats; all but 11 are Republican. These results are from the 2012 election. What I find so interesting is not how many are held by Republicans or Democrats. […]

Great Griffins

The players, coaches, teachers, support staff and the administrative team at Fairfield Central High School would like to take this opportunity to thank you for making the 2012 Griffin football season rewarding and enjoyable. Thank you to the parents, friends, business partners, churches and community leaders who donated resources and time to our football program. […]

We Love a Parade

In about four weeks, the town of Blythewood will be welcoming thousands of residents and visitors as they line the streets for the 17th annual Blythewood Christmas Parade on Dec. 9. Of all the events and programs that the Greater Blythewood Chamber of Commerce organizes, the second Sunday of December is the one day of […]

What Have We Done?

The elections are over, the votes have been counted and the majority rules in this country. Lets see what we have now? We have re-elected several people. Maybe y’all know something I don’t . For instance, why would we re-elect people who have a track record of talking and finger pointing? They have not brought […]

Coleman Delivers

We have all enjoyed being elected officials for the Town of Winnsboro. There have been many challenges confronting the town, but none more complicated or more critical than dealing with our water shortage. Fairfield County is served by five water districts. Both the Town of Blythewood and Fairfield County’s industrial park also depend on Fairfield […]

Enough Negative Politics

I have read the articles by Mr. Thomas about the upcoming elections and they are nothing more than examples of the current do-nothing partisan thinking that prevents progress. These stories either cite misstatements of reality, distortions of reality or incredible fabrications repeating ideas supported by “conservative think tanks” such as the South Carolina Policy Council […]
