The Democratic Party leadership is not friendly to Christians. It is by now common knowledge throughout North Carolina that “welcome baskets” sent by some Christian churches in Charlotte to delegates were rejected by party leadership. Their reason was the values of the churches concerning abortion were diametrically opposed to the values of the Democratic Party.

To the editor:
Brunswick Family Assistance (BFA) is dedicated to improving the lives of our neighbors in Brunswick County who are willing to help themselves by providing emergency assistance.
We envision a community where all people have access to an adequate and nutritious supply of food and sufficient resources to sustain themselves. BFA is the only county organization devoted exclusively to aiding the unemployed, the elderly, the disabled, the homeless and the working poor.

To the editor:
A place to relax, to contemplate nature, watch the sunrise with a cup of coffee, read a book, stroll the walking paths, while away the time while swinging on an adult swing or sitting on a bench by the water after a great dinner—that’s what I think of when I think about the possibilities for the proposed Sunset Beach Town Park.
I believe the proposed park is a payoff for our area economically and in terms of resident and visitor satisfaction. The park adds another dimension to the Sunset Beach experience.

The fastball came barreling in at an unexpected speed, well in excess of 90 mph.
To the batter it had the appearance of an aspirin. He hadn’t seen anything like this before. Belt high and straight down the middle, the pitch whizzed past him with such acceleration that only the “vrapp” sound of impact with the catcher’s mitt brought the batter to look for it.
From that day to this and beyond, the fastball would be known as “Benghazi.”
