Editor:

On the evening of Oct. 23, the Fat Tuna Grill was the scene of a benefit for Bethany Town Cats, an organization dedicated to the control of Bethany Beach feral cats through a spaying and neutering program.

Reader offers option to save turtles
Editor:

America faces the eminent threat of losing her sovereignty by 2010. And, sad to say, the threat doesn’t come from foreign soil but from within our own borders and people.
