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 […]
Tech Bytes: Beware of Hackers
March 8, 2018 By
I just repaired a PC that had been taken over by a hacker. The user said he got a call from a guy that said he represented a software vendor and he had used their software at one time. It appears this hacker got phone numbers including cell numbers from the vendor and was calling […]
From the Pulpit: A Fountain or a Drain?
March 8, 2018 By
This past week during my travels for work I read a church sign that was extremely thought provoking. It simply read, “Be a fountain, not a drain.” Truly, as Christians we ought to be a fountain to others. We ought to be a fountain of love, encouragement, praise, honor, help, joy, and everything else that […]
Letter to the Editor: Look for Progress
March 8, 2018 By
Fairfield County is in a good place. Not just because we have Jason Taylor as our Administrator, but because we have the I-77 Alliance offering to set up an animated website to market our 1100-acre industrial site. Nearly the entire I-77 Alliance meeting on Feb. 15 was about how to set up the website. The […]

On Saturday March 10, as James and I turned onto Hwy 215 S., we saw smoke, people and a burned area not far from us. But help was on the way. As we started back up the road we met sheriff deputies, fire trucks, volunteers and the forestry personnel…all coming to serve and protect lives […]
Guest Editorial: Home fires burn quicker now
March 1, 2018 By
Today’s firefighter, with all the new technology and equipment, doesn’t fight the same fires his or her grandfather fought. The house fires of today present new dangers to firefighters and residents. In the homes of yesteryear (we call them legacy-built homes) heavier timber was used in construction, and the furnishings were mostly natural products like […]
Letter to Editor: Robbing the Poor to Pay the Rich
March 1, 2018 By
We must ensure more oxygen is pumped into the state legislators’ chambers, very quickly. Those whacky state legislators are at it again with their annual regressive assault on the incomes of our most vulnerable citizens. Their scheme is to raise the costs of basic necessities like groceries, healthcare and utilities via the elimination/reduction of life […]
