To the editor:
This year, Sunset Beach council members Lou DeVita, Karen Joseph and Wilson Sherrill approved 5 percent salary increases, raising already inflated salary levels to 15 percent in four years.
This year’s salary increases alone will cost taxpayers $146,000 each year and $730,000 (constant dollars) in five years, including employee benefits.
The generous taxpayers for years have also paid 100 percent of medical insurance increase premiums for our employees. Who pays your medical insurance increases?

To the editor:
Thank you to the Carolina Shores citizens for their concern to the board about the crimes in their area. I have addressed this issue with the Calabash town mayor and board with little response. There is crime of all kinds on all of our streets. We need more sheriff patrols in both areas, not blinders and no concern.
We have a divided board, four-to-one on all issues. Mayor Mary Knight and Daria Buccilli are attached at the hip and are always on a mission.

To the editor:
As usual, the Sunset Beach Park is all about money.
Why not start small as you would a business? Start with walking trails and benches facing the water. Lots of people would like that.
In time, when money is available, add something else. Then you would end up with what lots of people want without all the debt.

I have recently found there are truly compassionate people in today’s world.
Sunday, Nov. 11, my husband of 53 years passed away. He spent his last five days in the new Hospice Care Center at 955 Mercy Lane SE in Bolivia. They took excellent care of Tom and the family as well.
From doctors to office workers to nurses to “Doe” the custodian, these people went above and beyond any job description. They take you into their hearts and prayers and give you one less thing to worry about.
