NC's e-bike law changes Dec. 1. How western Wake towns are responding

Apex is moving toward new e-bike rules that could expand helmet requirements for younger riders and clarify where electric bicycles can travel. The proposed changes come as a new North Carolina law takes effect Dec. 1, changing which e-bikes are permitted on roads and greenways. The new law also will require helmets for Class 3 e-bike riders and passengers under 18. Towns can also require helmets for riders and passengers under 18 on Class 1 and 2 e-bikes, but the new law does not mandate those additional requirements statewide. A separate, existing state law already requires bicycle helmets for anyone under 16. Apex’s Public Safety Committee on Thursday, Nov. 5, backed limited amendments to existing bicycle regulations, rather than a comprehensive e-bike ordinance. “Making huge regulatory changes at this stage may be the wrong thing. We may be over-regulating,” council member Ed Gray told The News & Observer after the meeting. But Gray also supports a uniform helmet requirement for younger riders, saying it would be easier to understand and enforce. The Town Council must approve any amendments, which it could do as soon as Dec. 17. The new rules Under the new state law, Class 1 bikes provide motor

Things You Should Know About Veteran Treatment Courts

Veterans deserve more. United States servicemen and women earn their benefits and support through their service, yet far too many face ongoing challenges with healthcare access, mental health resources, disability claims backlogs, and housing support. Veterans treatment courts (VTC) aim to promote recovery and reduce recidivism in high-risk, high-need military veterans with repeat infractions related to substance use, mental health, and co-occurring disorders. Honorable Robert Russell founded the first VTC in Buffalo, New York, in January 2008. The structure of VTCs are similar to that of adult drug treatment courts in that they involve cooperation and collaboration with court officials, community partners, and law enforcement. The goal is to connect eligible veterans with benefits and treatment earned through military service. The program was initially funded initially by a grant from the Governor's Crime Commission from then-Governor Pat McCrory.

Here’s where and why File online: Go to ncagr.gov , navigate to the Standards Division webpage, scroll down and click the “Complaints & Requests” box to report problems. By phone or email: Call 984-236-4751 or email program manager Chad Parker at chad.parker@ncagr.gov to flag an issue.

Westover defense picks apart West Johnston in blowout playoff win

Westover football hosted its first home playoff game since 2021, and the Wolverines made sure the occasion was worth the wait. No. 14 seed Westover dominated No. 19 West Johnston 44-0 in the first round of the NCHSAA 6A East playoffs on Friday, Nov. 6, delivering a commanding performance in its postseason return at home. The Wolverines (7-4) finished the season undefeated at home with a 5-0 record, and earned what could be the largest playoff victory in program history. The blowout win also marked Westover's fifth shutout of the season. "It's exciting just for the moment because of the fact that these kids deserve it, man," Westover coach Justin Sherrod said postgame. "Not just these kids, Westover deserves it. Westover's community deserves it." To ignite the potent performance, Westover's defense set the tone early, consistently disrupting West Johnston's offense and creating opportunities to pull away, blocking two punts, and forcing a fumble over the course of the night. "It was good that the defense did what they did this season, and that made the offense have to step their game up," Sherrod said. "It's just complementing football." The Wolverines capitalized on their first offensive possession of the game with
