Americans have more media options than ever. We are inundated with stories, memes, videos and promotions 24 hours a day. Most of us are on social media, which is built to provide an endless feed of content to keep us glued to our screens. And unfortunately, misinformation is prevalent and much of that content isn’t […]

Fairfield County is now going on 10 months without an experienced county administrator or even a robust process for hiring one. When council members are asked where they are in the hiring process, they have no answers. Yet, the county administrator is the most important position in the county. What’s more, it’s council’s job to […]

We had our ups and downs this year, but we as a community came together and kept our little market running! Thank you to all who supported us this year.

In my opinion, the market should be free to anyone who qualifies as a home gardener/farmer.  […]

We, the Executive Board of the Eagles Glen Property Owners Association (EB of EGPOA), are writing in response to information conveyed in your article “Council sets goals for 12-24” published in the January 12, 2023 edition of The Voice of Blythewood. Specifically, we would like to respond to a statement quoted from Franklin (Mayor Bryan […]
