To the editor:

My understanding is that after the Sunset Beach council arbitrarily voted to ban cabanas at the November town meeting, there were hundreds and hundreds of calls, emails and letters sent to the town protesting this ban. Much to our council’s credit, they listened to the people and, at least for the time being, rescinded this ban. This seemed to be a perfect time for our council to all work together to formulate new rules on where and when cabanas are allowed.

I am writing about a local company here in Brunswick County that provides the service of automotive glass replacement, which I was in need of recently.

Their business card states, “Over 35 years of experience,” and with the windshield replacement they performed in the convenience of my home’s driveway, it certainly is evident.

To the editor:

After reading the Beacon, I am reminded of three quotes: “Democracy was not created to be pretty” and “A free press and informed citizens is a politicians’ greatest fear,” President Thomas Jefferson; and “All politics is local,” former House Speaker Thomas “Tip” O’Neill.

To the editor:

Today, the athletic fields around the country are crowded with future lacrosse stars.

Lacrosse has been played for hundreds of years by Native Americans and has become a staple of American sport.

The first American tribes had no written language for the game that many years later would be known as lacrosse.

What we know about the game was transmitted by word of mouth. Some American tribes insisted their version was the original, having been received as a gift from the Spirit of the Creator.
