  • Town council dysfunction like wildfire

    To the editor:

    The council dysfunction in Sunset Beach has spread like a wildfire into issues of pine straw. Even though this past summer’s fire was started by carelessness, we should probably modify the behavior of all citizens, guests and tourists to the town

  • Sunset Beach belabors its cabana issue

    To the editor:

    Having read Sunset Beach Town Council voted to pass an ordinance forbidding anyone from setting up a canopy or cabana on the beach until 7 a.m., instead of 6 a.m. as it was before, I just have to say how dumb this is.

    The amount of manpower and undue stress it will put on the fire and police departments to enforce such a ridiculous thing is beyond me. Town council would have been wise to just ban them.

  • U.S. is divided against itself

    To the editor:

    Americans. We are all Americans, “first.” Our country is seriously divided between “us” and anyone who disagrees with “us.” The “other” is now our opponent, our enemy.

    This is what we have become. A country divided against itself. And it cannot stand.

  • Sunset Beach should consider public petitions

    To the editor:

    I’d like to thank Rich Cerrato and the entire Sunset Beach Town Council for their service to our town. It appears to me that it’s either Mr. Cerrato’s way or the highway. There seems to be lack of working together or compromise with the council, but there are plenty of innuendos and suggestions of conspiracies.

  • Oral hygiene

    To the editor:

    Whichever end of a toothpick President Trump might choose to use, liberals will most assuredly claim it is the wrong one.

    When a toddler throws a tantrum, a caring parent will resolve the matter swiftly with a firm pat on the child’s backside, assuring him that not only is the conduct unacceptable, but, even if subconsciously, that some actions can have undesirable consequences.

  • Democratic voters are ‘functionally illiterate’

    To the editor:

    This past election was extraordinary and one of exuberance. The morning of Nov. 9 around 3:30 a.m., Donald J. Trump became president-elect. What followed was remarkable. America saw first-hand what happens when people raised and educated by a village acted. The Democratic Party, from top to bottom, went into a total meltdown. The politicians, scholars and the three dumb-down generations of indoctrination showed the world how a functionally illiterate class of voters reacted. Pathetic!

  • Pray God will revive us all

    To the editor:

    Revival refers to a spiritual reawakening from a state of dormancy or stagnation in the life of a believer. It encompasses the resurfacing of a love for God, an appreciation of God’s holiness, a passion for his word and his church, a convicting awareness of personal and corporate sin, a spirit of humility and a desire for repentance and growth in righteousness.

  • Rain of revival

    To the editor:

    During the inauguration ceremony, the Rev. Franklin Graham pointed out God was giving a prophetic sign that day when a soft, gentle rain started falling from the sky. He remarked, “Mr. President, in the Bible, rain is a sign of God’s blessing, and it started to rain, Mr. President, when you came to the platform.” Graham then proclaimed from the podium: “There is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus.”

  • Town’s response to gun theft both shocking and offensive

    To the editor:

    It’s hard to imagine which was more shocking and offensive to the citizens of Sunset Beach: acting Police Chief Joe Smith carelessly allowing four guns to be stolen from a town-owned vehicle or Town Administrator Susan Parker failing to inform the town council and mayor about this incident until weeks later.
