Today's Opinions

To the editor:
Rachel Johnson’s article in The Brunswick Beacon about the local employment conditions was outstanding, except for the conditions themselves.
Her graph told it like it is. Wonder which county has the lowest and which one has the highest unemployment rate? There would be some good ones to add to get a true feel as to what is happening.
Many factors are used to determine the unemployment rate, including: initial claims, disqualified, continuous claims, exhaustees and new entrants and re-entrants.

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.

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.
