  • One alert citizen makes a difference

    To the editor:
    A concerned citizen who has been following all the promises, agreements and constant changes with regard to the county’s sewer installation has saved all of us a substantial amount of money, noticing that the “one-year, no interest if paid in full” clause originally in the agreement was gone.

  • Dying too young senseless tragedy

    To the editor:
    On March 9, our beautiful friend, sister and daughter, Nina Moreno, was taken from us much too soon. Nina had hopes and dreams of having a family, just like we all do. To know Nina was to love her. Her beautiful smile could light up a room. Nina was smart, funny, and hard-working. Her life was just beginning, but in the blink of an eye, drugs took her away from us.

  • Faith in action

    To the editor:
    Jesus considered knowledge and belief of His word as faith. Jesus was asked by the woman from Canaan, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David. My daughter is severely demon-possessed.”

  • What’s the distinction?

    To the editor:
    Last week, food safety officials in the United Kingdom, France and Sweden found traces of horse meat in ground beef sold across Europe. Massive recalls and lawsuits are ensuing.
    Can it happen here? Horse slaughter for human consumption was banned in the United States between 2007 and 2011. Now a New Mexico slaughterhouse is getting approved by U.S. authorities to slaughter horses for human consumption, and a Philadelphia restaurant has already announced plans to serve horse meat.

  • Displays of arrogance

    To the editor:
    The Oscars, Fallon and Letterman shows. Might Ringling Brothers Circus be their next display?
    The Obamas detest the White House and Oval Office. And here’s why. These settings represent the historically respected images of the freest, most important, powerful and benevolent country in the history of the world, which from the Obamas’ perspective represent rather the pinnacle of America’s racial bias and international exploitation.

  • What’s so great about this generation?

    To the editor:
    One generation after the “Greatest Generation,” this generation has forgotten all the lessons and examples of the Founding Fathers and more than two centuries of tradition. As we were the shining examples for the rest of humanity.
    Since the financial implosion of 2007, several trillion dollars have suddenly, almost magically, disappeared from the global economy.

  • Don’t help puppy mills

    To the editor:
    The most recent puppy mill bust in Sampson County last week was the 13th puppy mill bust in North Carolina since June 2010.
    There were 60 dogs in this mill the day of the bust. Three days earlier, an HSUS inspector found more than 250 dogs there in deplorable conditions.
    What happened to the nearly 200 dogs that disappeared from this puppy mill in three days?
    You can be sure they will be for sale somewhere soon. Internet, Facebook, Craigslist—the avenues to sell a dog are endless with this inhumane, disgusting trade.

  • Celebration is too pricey

    To the editor:
    Sunset Beach is spending up to $35,000 of taxpayers’ money to celebrate its 50th anniversary. This is a lot of money.
    Many of the projects residents request are turned down because they cost taxpayer dollars. However, spending $35,000 seems insignificant to council members who want to host, during an election year, the best celebration they can come up with, with our dollars. It’s nice to have a piggy bank.
    The most egregious of these expenditures is about $18,000 being spent on the “free dinner” for 600 people.

  • Thank you for stirring patriotism

    To the editor:
    When driving east toward Wilmington, crossing the Brunswick River Bridge, one cannot help noticing “Old Glory,” moored deeply in the river’s edge, standing proudly and flying in the breeze.
    Kudos and a great big “thank you” to whomever took the time and made the effort. What a great reminder of our freedoms and the lives lost since our flag’s inception in 1775. God bless the people who undertook this, and God bless America.
