As Chief Nursing Officer at Fairfield Memorial Hospital, I am excited to share with the community a new program at Fairfield Memorial as part of our “Commitment to Excellence.” We recently instituted a new program to measure patient satisfaction. The Emergency Room has a tablet, much like an iPad, that is given to each patient […]
Heroes
July 28, 2016 By
It has been said you can gauge the brightness of a community’s soul by the courage of its heroes who courageously confront evil. Today, Fairfield’s soul shines brightly thanks to the heroes who helped to ensure some measure of justice in our most recent animal cruelty case (re: “A Horrible Thing,” July 14). We all owe […]
Justice is Done
July 21, 2016 By
It has been seven months since I and three other ladies found a horrific sight while horseback riding at Carolina Adventure World. When I stumbled upon a severely mangled puppy, my mind was racing, wondering what had happened to this poor creature. Never in a million years would I have guessed that he had been […]
Meet Mark Palmer
July 7, 2016 By
I am Mark Palmer of York, and I am running as a Republican for the S.C. Senate seat in District 17. I am the candidate who will oppose Mike Fanning in November. I was born in South Carolina and am a graduate of Winthrop College. I have been married to Holly Palmer for 20 years […]
What Was He Thinking?
July 7, 2016 By
What irresponsible behavior from Mayor Gregrey Ginyard leaving $10,000 of Jenkinsville Water Co. money in his car to be stolen. Let me ask you a question Mr. Ginyard: Would you leave $10,000 of your money in an unlocked vehicle? Not only the loss of the money but the cost for mail-outs to the water customers, […]
Rhetoric is Fun; Results Matter
June 23, 2016 By
Each election cycle some candidate seems to always clamor for change and, if elected, he promises to change Columbia, or where ever. This change agent also always claims to be an outsider and his lack of experience in the system is touted as a great attribute. It seems politics is the only job in which […]
Vote for Experience on June 28
June 23, 2016 By
The run off on the 28th of this month should be a message politically and individually. To everyone and to all parties concerned and involved, all of us have an awesome obligation to vote for the most qualified person to do the task at hand. Not because we like their politics or the company they […]
Experience Counts
June 23, 2016 By
Experience matters, it matters a great deal! Sen. Creighton Coleman has 18 years of experience in our State Legislature. His opponent, Mike Fanning, has none; no experience at all in government. Sen. Coleman has built up 18 years’ worth of valuable relationships, networking and know-how. Fanning has built neither relationships nor networking in our government. […]
Why R.O.A.R. Over Sales Tax Exemptions?
June 23, 2016 By
Why has District 17 Senate candidate Mike Fanning campaigned so strongly against our state’s sales tax exemptions? If he would look into the actual dollars exempted he would discover that the exemptions manifest annual consumer savings of a whopping $585 million for prescription drugs purchased at pharmacies, and $354 million in grocery purchases. Plus, these “evil” exemptions […]
Fanning Tax Plan Targets Poor
June 23, 2016 By
One would think State Senate candidate Mike Fanning’s most glaring weakness would be his lack of experience in the legislature (zero vs. Coleman’s 18 years). Many, however, are more concerned that Mr. Fanning wants to tweak the state sales tax exemptions. The target here would be the poor and vulnerable. The bulk of South Carolina’s sales […]
