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. One might guess the stations’ helicopters spotted the commotion at FCHS and dispatched their roving […]
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 […]
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 […]
