When you visit a physical or occupational therapist, you’re visiting a specialty provider who can help you move better and manage your pain without potentially dangerous medications. Typically, an entire course of treatment with a therapist costs less than any number of treatments provided i…

The Wall Street Journal editorial about Attorney General Bill Barr’s speech last Wednesday night brings to mind the awesome power of the prosecutors from Mr. Barr down to our local district attorney.

Please permit me a bit of comment on both your editorial and Star Parker’s column of Sept. 24. They are both thoughtful and intertwined.

From 1861-1865, America’s Civil War holds several notorious records such as 504 deaths daily. For many years the statistics estimated over 620,000 total deaths; but more recent and accurate estimates hold the deaths at almost 800,000. The death rate was 1 in 5. The battles were as gruesome a…

My friend and neighbor Al Brown used a letter to the editor last week to complain about Colin Kaepernick and his public protest at a professional football game. Such behavior, he whines, irritates the paying public.

On behalf of the Boys of Summer program, I personally would like to thank every donor who provided funds to support the Summer Back to School Supply Drive.

When The Moorings, a 48-unit condo development at the Jekyll Harbor Marina, was being considered by the Jekyll Island Authority (JIA), it provoked a heated discussion about the appropriateness of developing such a vulnerable area. In fact, the JIA’s own March 2019 environmental impact study …

I called the board of elections last week to find out about absentee ballots, which I have been using for quite a while given my senior status (I guess that’s the reason). The young man who took my call had to confer with a co-worker several times to answer my questions. Answers: No, I did n…

The story about the dog rescues showed the care and responsible action taken by our animal control officers to save some dogs that were left in their owners’ backyards. Most likely chained up so they could not swim out of their situation, causing them to drown.

Kudos to The Brunswick News for its examination of the issue of the Confederate monument in Hanover Square. Gordon Jackson is doing an excellent job of examining the disparate views and reporting on the city commission meeting on Sept. 16 when there was a public hearing on the topic.

I grew up in the segregated South of the 1940s and 1950s. I remember the many un-Christian ways my Black brothers and sisters were treated. As a preteen my family relocated to, what was to me, another country — the Midwest. Imagine my surprise when I learned that the war of northern aggressi…

Well, if someone is going to want to remove monuments because of what they stand for then why stop there?

Colin Kaepernick will never be validated. To make my point before I tell you what the real problem is: I worked for the Sea Island Company for over 30 years before starting my own company. During my first week on the job I learned the unwritten rule for every employee: Don’t do anything that…

President Trump’s extension of an offshore drilling freeze, limited to Florida, South Carolina, and Georgia, has prompted unfounded praise from certain sectors.

Authority is defined as “the power or right to give orders and make others obey, or to take specific action.” To help maintain peaceful order in our society, we citizens have delegated “authority” to our law enforcement personnel.

People are dying while waiting for a COVID-19 vaccine. We need a treatment now that can prevent a severe case of the virus so that patients can quickly heal. Following are just a few treatments that medical workers claim they are having major success with.

When I saw the headline, “Memories of 9/11 still fresh, nineteen years later,” I knew I didn’t need to read the article because the most important aspect of it is forgotten. Nineteen terrorists, 16 of whom were Saudi, more half of whom were members of, or closely associated with the Saudi ro…

These are Trump’s recorded words to Woodward “This is deadly stuff. You just breathe the air and that’s how it is passed. This is deadly stuff.”

Thank you Terry Dickson for your article about “bringing home” the remains of those heroes we “lost” in war. This was a good reminder for the upcoming POW/MIA Recognition Day.

A person with military knowledge would understand that about 10% of any military are officers. In 1860, that 10% were the wealthy that could afford slaves and send their sons to military academies. The other 90% were poor small farmers who worked their farms with their wives and children. Be…

I am writing to voice my opinion about the Confederate statue located in Hanover Park. I have read several Letters to the Editor both for the removal and the leaving in place of the statue.

I am hoping the mayor and commissioners will agree to remove the Confederate monument in Hanover Square.

Like Punxsutawney Phil crawling out of his burrow, Sleepy Joe has been emerging from his basement periodically and the message the Dems are getting, to their horror, is another four years of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Clearly the ravages of senility are beginning to unravel Joe’s critical t…

Fear, lies, no solutions. As I said before, the GOP have no new ideas. Only now more than ever, it is serious and dangerous.

Please remove the Confederate statue from Hanover square. It does not commemorate the civil war, but instead supports a lost cause mythology and white supremacy. Recognize that moving it to a museum is a compromise as some would like it destroyed while others want it to stay put. It belongs …

I don’t own a computer, but I feel it’s the only way to make your readers aware of a destructive force that is destroying the country from within.

Speaking of heroes, the people at The Brunswick News and Mr. Cottingham are at the top of my list.
