    Shame on you, Brunswick Beacon! What in the world were you thinking when you published the ridiculous cartoon about the Ocean Isle Beach flotilla in the Dec. 4 edition?

  • Provide proof of residence to use recycle center

    To the editor:

    I am responding to the article in the Dec. 11 edition, “Recycle center permits questioned in Carolina Shores.” Not everyone who has a residence in Carolina Shores lives there full time. Their cars may be registered in the state that is their main residence.

  • Support for Sea Notes exceeds expectations

    To the editor:

    As Sea Notes Choral Society president, I have the pleasure of thanking you, our audience, for your support and generosity each season. On Dec. 4, 5 and 7, when we performed our winter concert, “Season of Love,” at Hatch Auditorium I again had that privilege. With renewed growth in Brunswick County, our Thursday and Friday evening audiences came out in record numbers. That means the world to us. You are our family, friends and neighbors, and we truly do sing for you.

  • Dumping on Carolina Shores

    To the editor:

    How lucky we are to live in Carolina Shores. If you read the Beacon, you’ll note the only problem we apparently have in the community is with the operation of the recycling center (generally known as “the dump”).

    Apart from long lines of vehicles occasionally on Persimmon Road, some people have the audacity to have more than one vehicle they use to take garbage to the dump. Pay up! You have to buy that second sticker!

  • What do you want for Christmas?

    To the editor:

    What do you want for Christmas?

    Do you desire Christmas gifts you hope will make you happy or give them to make others happy? How about looking into what really makes you or someone you love happy with peace, security and satisfaction with what you have?

    One of Jesus’ names is the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6).

    Jesus said, “Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid” (John 14:27).

  • Is Christmas for thieves?

    To the editor:

    An 8-year-old boy from Georgia was hit and killed by a drunk driver Nov. 25, 2014, in Georgia. His classmates attended the funeral and put a Christmas tree at the gravesite.

    When some of the students went to the cemetery the next day, the tree was gone.

    One of his classmates, a young girl, asked her mother to replace the tree, and they have put a new tree at his grave. They are also going to make a memorial for the little boy at the site of the accident.

    To the editor:

    I have never written a letter to the editor, but after seeing the editorial cartoon in your Dec. 4 edition, I now feel the need.
