How long will the good and decent people of Fairfield County allow the ugly faces of racism, greed and power cripple our county? How long will we allow hatred, vicious lies, delusional opinions and intentional deceit destroy the very hearts and souls of a people whose roots run deep with kinships, communities, churches and schools […]
Plan to Plan
January 30, 2015 By
The recent (Jan. 22) Voice editorial “Who Knew?” underscored one of many concerns about the Fairfield County Recreation plan. The Ridgeway Town Council is spot-on in its opposition to the ill-conceived proposed location of the Ridgeway facility. Other previously expressed citizen concerns with the general County Recreation Plan include having a plan which starts out over […]
An Apology
January 16, 2015 By
As an American, I apologize to the marchers in France and to the rest of the world for America’s lack of participation in the Unity March to support free speech and to show the global terrorists that their way of life is not acceptable to the rest of the world. Our President should have been […]
Who Knew?
January 12, 2015 By
If there is one thing to which the old cliché “It was in all the papers” aptly applies, it is Fairfield County’s recreation debate and its long-awaited plan, revealed last September, to spend $500,000 in each of its seven voting districts. That Ridgeway Town Council was surprised last month to learn that the plan for […]
District 3 Preview
January 9, 2015 By
Mikel Trapp claims personal credit for donations to churches and donated supplies for school students. The truth is that the taxpayers in Fairfield County paid these expenses. There is no such thing as a ‘Saving Fairfield Tea Party Republication Candidate’ in Fairfield County! Ask Tangee Brice Jacobs and Col. Walter Stewart their affiliation with a […]
District 3 Options
December 19, 2014 By
Voters in District 3 can vote for Mr. Trapp and they will get a long line of excuses, denials, resentment, opposition, hostility, an empty chair half the time, and when he is in the chair a true lack of sincere interest in understanding the needs of the community. Many meetings he has left early with no notice […]
Vote Stewart
December 19, 2014 By
Fairfield County needs strong leadership on County Council with good ‘Business Sense.’ In the near future, voters in District 3 can elect a citizen with the knowledge we need to help the Council to be fiscally responsible. Col. Walter Stewart has a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management and a Ph.D. in Organizational Management. Elect Stewart […]
Naughty or Nice?
December 19, 2014 By
It is the season for giving, and there has been no shortage of it in Fairfield County and Blythewood of late; although some of what has been passed along appears more like a gnarly lump of sooty coal than anything one might put a bow on. If Santa is indeed watching, it looks as though […]
Priceless
December 12, 2014 By
Everything may indeed, as the saying goes, have a price; there may also be things, however, for which a price would be so absurdly high as to render that thing essentially priceless. Other things there are still for which one cannot imagine a price, however high. The Statue of Liberty, for example, and Mt. Rushmore, […]
Quarry Questions
December 3, 2014 By
I am a homeowner from the Fairfield County community that is affected by the recent announcement of plans to operate the rock crushing quarry company, Winnsboro Crushed Stone. Although the decision to permit the operation is now up to the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control, Fairfield County Council has shown concern for their community’s concerns and […]
