I am writing with great concern regarding Twin Pines’ future plan to mine 898 acres along Trail Ridge parallel to beachfront of coastal Georgia and inland toward the Okefenokee Swamp.

Scientists describe the current phase in Earth’s history as the “Anthropocene” — meaning that human activities now have such a massively powerful influence on natural life-support systems that the fate of our world, and all complex life-forms, lies in our hands.

Late in the evening near closing time on a very recent Friday, we were alerted to a fire in our Pier Village restaurant. It was in a storage room near the office. We made an emergency call and in a miraculously short period of time, an abundance of Glynn County Fire-Rescue personnel and poli…

I have three suggestions that will improve traffic flow in Glynn County.

I have been accused of being anti-development, which is not true. I believe in managed development, in accordance with the Future Land Use Map and existing zoning. That way people know what to expect when they buy property. If a developer decides to build something that conforms to the law, …

The Logistec fire (the second in six years) should be a wake-up call to Brunswick. I witnessed the explosion from a friend’s backyard. We were grilling some shrimp and sausage and heard a crackling sound, and it wasn’t the charcoal. As we peaked over a fence, we heard a loud explosion and th…

I am reminded that Memorial Day is fast approaching. This may be my worst yet.

The movie studio article stated “The project will have very low impact and generate a lot of revenue for the county.” The 500 town homes, three 90,000 square foot buildings, the repurposing of 1,091 acres, private water tower and treatment plant all off Highway 17 are highly unlikely to have…

I write this letter to let everyone know what a great hospital and staff we have in our county. I had to have a heart catheterization done on Friday by Dr. Watkins and his caregivers — Mr. Jerry Lazotte, R.N.; Ms. Mitz Hiett, R.N.; Ms Megan Brown, R.N.; and one named Ms Jennifer. I didn’t ge…

Community support to purchase Glynn Haven Park is essential. We, the Glynn Haven Park Committee, would like to give your readers an idea of the support and funds raised for the park so far.

I agree with Frank Klonoski from St. Simons Island regarding the COVID-19 labs.

“The Devil’s in the details,” an old saying that Larry Hobbs’ article in today’s edition about the continuing beach cleanup effort in the aftermath of the removal of the Golden Ray once again illustrates.

In support of the proposed JIA e-bike ordinance, when was the last time the author of the pro e-bike editorial spent time on the Jekyll Island multi-use path riding a bike or walking?

Right now, there are ideas floating around Washington D.C. to send American taxpayer money to El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras for the people of those countries to help keep them in their own country.

A highly revered athlete and supporter of the last president or an insurrectionist — that is apparently the choices the Georgia Republicans are considering to run for Senator.

I have been writing about decency and morality for some time, and no one seems to be listening. So now let me tell you about a much overlooked law. It is called the Quiet Enjoyment Law.

A few years ago, the Camden County Commissioners proposed to make Camden County a hub for space launches. Since then, the county has spent millions on the “Spaceport” project, and the “Spaceport” saga provides a wonderful example of the pitfalls of throwing tax dollars at government-sponsore…

American cities are a mess — riot blighted buildings, looted businesses, skyrocketing violent crime (2019/2020 murder rate up 37% in major cities), failing public schools, shrinking economies, unsafe streets/public transit and deficit funding.

Hopefully, Frank Klonoski’s letter of April 23 hasn’t swayed one reader of The Brunswick News to not take the COVID-19 vaccine as his statements are seriously flawed. People need to read reports from scientifically based sources such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Mayo Cl…

After vacationing on Jeykll for over 20 years, my wife and I recently bought a house and live here full time. I have biked through Europe, done countless triathlons and raced bikes. Now I enjoy just riding my beach cruiser around Jekyll.

The News recently weighed in on the JIA’s decision to ban rental of e-bikes on Jekyll, suggesting the authority should do more research on the subject. However those responsible for regulating trails, including the National Park Service, have done the research, and they believe that type of …

I believe it would help generate support for many proposed projects if the persons and/or organizations behind a project were clearly identified. This does not always happen, and I am a little weary of such mystery projects.

Those asking sound, rational questions concerning decisions being made and proposed by the current Democratic majority in Washington are making one fatal mistake. They are trying to use reason with a totally unreasonable, radical mindset that is hell-bent on transforming this nation. There i…

I read Bill Crane’s piece — “So you have a case of vaccine hesitancy?” — and he left us in a problem/solution quandary with no option, so I opined a response.

It amazes me that people put forth declarative sentences about a new policy that they obviously have not read.

Oh Tony, Tony, Tony. For the last four years, you’ve always given me something to start my morning with a chuckle.

I am a 94-year-old woman in an independent living facility. I have voted in Georgia elections for many years. I now use a walker and tremor in my hands. I have voted with absentee ballots for the past two years.
