  • The power is with the people

    To the editor:
    Do we, the citizens of this nation, have the right to abolish our country’s government? The answer is we most certainly do.
    This right to overthrow our country’s government is defined and guaranteed in our country’s founding documents, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States.
    It is the right derived from our nature as free human beings endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights, among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

  • Movie debut should be another good tourism draw

    This week the movie “Safe Haven,” based on a novel by best-selling author Nicholas Sparks, lights up the big screen.
    Shot on location in Southport and in other nearby areas, we hope this movie means more good things are in the future for Brunswick County.
    For many years Brunswick County has been a good draw for television and moviemakers. The moderate temperatures and welcoming community have made it a good place to set up shop for the extended hours of filming that go into million dollar productions.

  • Dentist is a blessing to many

    To the editor:
    We are blessed and have so many people in Brunswick County who have a heart to help people and never get recognition, mainly by their own choosing.
    I read with interest about local dentist Dr. John Madison, who reached out to pay-it-forward and help Joyce Davis, a cancer patient with a painful dental problem. He took away the pain without thought of monetary consideration.

  • Send the cats somewhere else

    To the editor:
    I recently read a Brunswick Beacon article about feral cats released on Holden Beach.
    A couple of things caught my attention: 1. Of nine cats placed on the island, six are missing in action. 2. The cats were brought in to eradicate rats and so far, that is working, according to officials.

    To the editor:
    I would like to thank everyone who stepped forward with their generosity and support and answered our plea for donations that made it possible for Brunswick Senior Resources Inc. (BSRI) to purchase four much-needed Meals on Wheels trailers.
