  • Thanks for help with fundraiser

    To the editor:

    On Saturday, April 24, Andy’s of Shallotte and Leland (next to Walmart), as part of its corporate philosophy to give back to the community, opened its doors and grills to the Brunswick Housing Opportunities Home Preservation Committee (BHO/HPC) for a fundraising pancake breakfast.

  • Likes board’s decision about prayer

    To the editor:

    The men of Athens had an unknown God and the Apostle Paul proclaimed he knew who He was Acts 17:23: “Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you. Acts 17:23: “God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands.”

  • Keep your dogs leashed

    My friends took two puppies for a walk on Sunset Beach recently. They never made it to the sand.

    About 6:30 p.m., they parked in the public lot at the gazebo. He had both puppies on their leashes while she went back to the car to get her sweatshirt. He passed a lady on her cell phone that had an unleashed husky and poodle by her side.

  • Supports MacCallum

    To the editor:

    Jim MacCallum is the clear choice for Clerk of Superior Court. He is a Vietnam veteran; three decades of practicing law; a leader at the national, state and local levels; and voted 2010 Citizen of the Year by the Brunswick County Chamber of Commerce. He is a true public servant if I ever knew one.

  • Happy for quality of life extras

    To the editor:

    The letter to the editor last week suggesting that county funding for parks and libraries should be cut is absurd.

    Brunswick County libraries do much more than provide Internet service to “those that cannot afford it.” My wife and I use the Hickmans Crossroads Branch Library.

  • Lines at the DMV

    To the editor:

    I had the misfortune of losing my wallet recently (my fault) and then had to list those things that needed to be done to compensate for the dumbness.

    One of those, of course, is replacement of your driver’s license. Since I had to go to the police station in Shallotte to report the loss, I decided I would go by the DMV to seek a replacement.

  • What’s happened to transparency?

    What’s happened to transparency?

    To the editor:

    Last November, the residents of Carolina Shores voted overwhelmingly for change. What we got was same old, same old. Still closed-door secret meetings.

    What happened to transparency, Ms. Dunn? I would pose the same question to Mr. Goodenough but he is obviously the silent partner on the board of commissioners and has no opinion unless someone gives it to him.

  • Supports Tim Daniels

    To the editor: I have known Timothy “Salt” Daniels for more than 20 years, and I just wanted to take a moment to ask all the Republican and Independent voters out there to consider the sheriff’s candidate who will be the best for Brunswick County.

  • Cuts are needed, not increases

    To the editor:

    With projected county losses, I would suggest commissioners start looking at new avenues of cuts—not increases.

    I’m sick of liberal Democrats always suggesting tax increases, which are always referred to as a mere this and a mere that.

    Pretty soon the mere increases add up to real money. Increases for trash pickup and recycling are two areas that come to mind.

  • Who can help the schools?

    To the editor: All my adult life has been dedicated to education. When the voters allowed me to serve on the Brunswick County Board of Education, I watched with interest as the lottery was put into place.

    A promise from Gov. Perdue that she would propose “a constitutional amendment to make sure that lottery funds stay dedicated to education” gave me hope.
