Today's Opinions

  • 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.

  • Spring invasion under way; time to get rid of cabin fever

    By Sarah Sue Ingram
    Interim Editor

    The invasion has already started and will be full-fledged by this weekend.

    No, it’s not the invasion by The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Gerry and The Pacemakers.

    For those of us who welcomed that British invasion, pacemakers means something entirely different now, as in medical equipment placed in the chest that helps keep some of our friends alive. It used to mean those who set the pace.

  • 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.

  • Manning will be missed

    To the editor:

    We will miss you.

  • 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.”

  • DWI drivers, beware; the task force is after you

    The increase in the number of driving-while-impaired arrests in Brunswick County is alarming.
    In the first two-and-a-half months of this year, the Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office has charged 123 people with driving while impaired (DWI). In the first two months of 2012, BCSO issued just 19 DWIs.
    Last year there were 27 fatal wrecks in Brunswick County. Eight of those deaths were attributed to driving while impaired.

  • Pollen is a precursor; change is in the air

    This week winter is officially over. I couldn’t be more excited as spring is in the air. The signs of change are everywhere. Daffodils have been popping up all over the place decorating the landscape with their brilliant shades of yellow. Cars are coated in the murky yellowish-green haze of pollen.

    Gone are winter hats and scarves—well, almost. Restaurants and businesses around the beach towns have reopened for the season.
