• Here's how population in Brunswick impacts transportation planning (starnewsonline.com subscription) — Transportation planners are weighing how Brunswick County’s rapid growth should shape future road and transit decisions, and Carolina Shores is one of the towns directly affected. Local leaders worry that existing regional planning groups, many based outside the county, don’t give Brunswick communities enough say over major projects like the Carolina Bays Parkway extension or future improvements residents will rely on.
   

• Theresa Ann Ste Marie, 92, Carolina Shores, NC (bbbtv12.com) — Carolina Shores residents are mourning the passing of 92-year-old Theresa Ann Ste Marie, a local resident who died December 4 in Tennessee.
