To the editor:
Coastline Volunteer Rescue Squad will begin its annual fund drive during October. Residents in the Supply, Holden Beach, Varnamtown, Bolivia and part of the Shallotte area should be receiving a letter of solicitation.
We certainly hope this year’s fund drive will be a success. We would like to thank everyone for their support.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact a squad official at 842-2266 or via email at dmrobinson@atmc.net.
David Robinson, president
Grover R. Hewett, vice president

To the editor:
You can think the rich should pay their “fair share;” you can love Obamacare; you can feel we need to “spread the wealth” and believe “you didn’t build that;” and you can even believe the “private sector is doing just fine,” but you cannot possibly believe the murders of our ambassador in Libya and three others and an attack on our embassy on Sept. 11 were just a spontaneous reaction to a ridiculous video making fun of the Prophet Mohammed.

To the editor:
If you’ve noticed a lot of strange weather these days, you’re not alone. We had extreme droughts, massive floods and large wildfires throughout the country. This July was the all-time hottest month on record for the United States.
Despite the reality of climate change and the dirty weather that comes with it, our leaders aren’t stepping up to solve this problem. It’s not an accident that deniers have spent unprecedented amounts of money to mislead and confuse us about the severity of the climate crisis.

To the editor:
I have coordinated Republican campaigns at the national, state and local level for several decades.
I first met Mike McIntyre when I was working on his opponent’s campaign in 1996. At that time, I recall being struck by how genuinely kind Mike was to everyone he met, even those of us “on the other side.”
