  • CIS Big Toy Day another success

    To the editor:
    Communities In Schools of Brunswick County (CIS) would like to thank the Brunswick County Airport Commission for partnering with us for the 5th annual Big Toy Day on Saturday, May 18.
    We couldn’t have been more pleased with the turnout from the community. Local businesses and municipalities turned out with their “toys” and let the kids climb all over them. The mission of CIS is to surround students with a community of support to empower them to stay in school and achieve in life.

  • Parking $50 for 10 minutes

    To the editor:
    My family and I were showing our visitors beautiful Sunset Beach on Saturday, May 4. The free parking area was closed for construction, so we drove to the parking area at the Sunset Beach Pier.
    There was not an attendant to collect the $5 parking fee. We parked and walked to the beach. There was one other car in the parking area. We were only there for 10 minutes because it started to rain. As we were walking back to our car, we saw an attendant bending down putting a boot on our car.

  • Fire all involved in IRS scandal

    To the editor:
    Now it should be clear to all that the Obama administration has been on a rampage of intimidation, smearing, investigating and financially damaging every political opponent.
    Early in 2010, President Obama began deriding conservative groups as “tea baggers,” and vice president Joe Biden compared them to terrorists. In case the IRS missed the point, Obama raised the threat of illegality when he said there are groups with harmless-sounding names that are running millions of dollars of ads against Democrat candidates.

  • God’s wishes and desires

    To the editor:
    So I suppose you should succeed,
    And also always want to take the lead.
    Continue to improve and do your best,
    Our sins confess and by God be blessed.
    Pray to God so He can graciously say
    If you will only do things my own way.
    Success will surely be in your sight
    After I give God my prayers every night.
     Father, don’t leave me or ever forget.
    I see you each day when the sun does set
    In the morning as it comes up again,
    And you help me through my thick and thin.

  • Sunset Beach party great celebration

    To the editor:
    What a wonderful 50-year celebration the town of Sunset Beach had on the beach this past Saturday. It was nice to see all the improvements at the gazebo and to have the opportunity to enjoy such a nice meal while enjoying the crowds on such a perfect day. So glad we live here!

  • The word made the world

    To the editor:
    Jesus was referred to as the word of God and maker of all things. In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him nothing was made.
    For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

  • Obama, cohorts must be held accountable

    o the editor:
    Last year during the presidential campaign, Barack Obama wanted Americans to believe that “I killed Osama, Al-Qaeda is destroyed, the war on terror is over and therefore I should be re-elected.”
    Then on Sept. 11, 2012, our embassy in Benghazi is attacked. Those on the ground reported that it was a coordinated attack with rocket-propelled grenades and mortars.
    No help was sent to those under attack. Four Americans were killed in a seven-hour firefight.

  • Commissioners deserve praise

    To the editor:
    On May 6, county commissioners proclaimed May as Mental Health Month. Hooray. What an outstanding group of leaders we have to recognize the importance of standing up in support of mental health when so many individuals stick their heads in the sand and are afraid to discuss the subject as taboo.

  • Science Olympiad very impressive

    o the editor:
    I want to congratulate all participants of the first annual Science Olympiad for elementary school students of Brunswick County. The event was at Cedar Grove Elementary, and they were a most gracious host.
