  • Built with help

    To the editor:
    Our president has been sharply criticized for his statement, “You didn’t build that!” Although I might adamantly insist “I did,” I am persuaded of the facts that “I did not” without the help of others build anything.
    Educationally, others provided rudimentary knowledge that I used in what I built. Materially, others furnished parts of what I built. Elementally, the One provided everything I and the others used to build what I built.

  • Rethink park expenses

    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.

    The students and staff of Southport Christian School would like to thank the Southport Junior Woman’s Club for its incredible donation to our school. Their Vegas Night event raises money for the elementary schools in our area, and we are so appreciative to be part of this event.

  • Compassion abounds

    To the editor:
    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.

  • Cub Scouts aid relief effort

    To the editor:
    I would like to recognize the service of Cub Scout Pack 0201 and its executive officer, Clay Stanley, for their support of a local grassroots effort to provide supplies for areas devastated by Hurricane Sandy.
    These young men collected nonperishable food items, delivered them to a collection point, and then helped organizers load the truck. For their efforts, the boys were rewarded with sweet treats from owners Cathy Cody and Anna Arrington of Turtle Crossing Cupcakes in Calabash, who spearheaded the relief effort.

  • Time to remove billboards

    To the editor:
    There are a number of billboards along U.S. 17 in Brunswick County, and one on N.C. 904, that were erected during the recent presidential election. The tenor of these signs is generally divisive and bitter.
    The country has voted, and whether or not we agree with the outcome, we must put the past aside and find a productive way to move forward. Leaving these signs in place deepens the disappointment of those who opposed the victor and stokes the indignation of those who supported the winning side.

  • Reader disgusted by sign display

    To the editor:
    In response to last week’s letter titled “Signs weren’t bigoted.”
    As a resident of Shallotte, my family and I have enjoyed the North Carolina Oyster Festival for years.
    This year, however, as we approached the entrance to the festival, it was impossible to ignore the Republican display. It was adorned with ape-like pictures of President Obama with the usual bumper sticker slogans.

  • Park statement laughable

    To the editor:
    Ref: Sunset Park in Towns section of latest Beacon.
    I just finished reading the latest edition of the Beacon. I must admit I had to read the article about the Sunset Beach park three times to believe what I was reading.
    It is well known that Mayor Rich Cerrato has opposed the park from its inception. His statement, “keeping the area as green as possible, because we don’t know what the use of this facility is going to be. Every time I drive by, I don’t see anyone in there,” is laughable.

  • Help others this Thanksgiving

    To the editor:
    Do you know where you’ll be eating your Thanksgiving dinner?
    Chances are there’s a needy family in your community who doesn’t know if they’ll be eating dinner at all on Thanksgiving or the days that follow.
    There are many Americans who wake up in the morning and don’t know if they’ll get enough to eat. You can help change that.

  • ‘Holy Scribbling’ is an excellent book

    To the editor:
    I just bought two copies of Katherine Moore’s book, “Holy Scribbling,” at the book presentation meeting at the clubhouse at Brick Landing Plantation Golf Course and noticed Elsa Bonstein’s comments on the back cover page. Elsa’s comments were not adequate enough.
