Buc-ee’s seeks recommendation from planning board for rezoning

The Buc-ee’s chain of travel centers plans to seek a Rocky Mount Planning Board recommendation today that the Rocky Mount City Council rezone a piece of land to pave the way for future development just off the Interstate 95 interchange for Gold Rock. The Planning Board is set to meet at 5:30 p.m. today at City Hall. Buc-ee’s has stated that the chain is under contract to purchase about 34 acres on the southeast side of the interchange northwest of Rocky Mount. That includes the location of dilapidated motel that long ago was a Howard Johnson’s motor lodge and wooded areas near the old motel. Gold Rock was annexed into Rocky Mount in 1997; however, some of the land that would be part of the planned purchase is not part of that satellite annexation and would have to be annexed by the City Council. Representatives of Buc-ee’s would like that land to be annexed and to be rezoned from Nash County general commercial to city B-2 commercial corridor to match the zoning for the rest of the land to the north in Gold Rock that Buc-ee’s also is eyeing for purchase. Land zoned B-2 commercial corridor by the city allows

Girl fatally struck while trying to board school bus in southern Nash County

A 14-year-old girl died at a Raleigh hospital after she was struck by a pickup truck in rural southern Nash County while trying to get to an awaiting school bus, the N.C. Highway Patrol said. Raquel Arellanes Banos died on the morning of Nov. 3 at WakeMed a couple of hours after patrol Trooper J.C. Serrano was dispatched to the scene of a single-vehicle collision involving a pedestrian on Bryant Road. Patrol 1st Sgt. Kearstin Howald said in email correspondence that Banos was standing in a private drive off Bryant waiting for the bus driver to pick her up and take her to Southern Nash High. The bus driver had been driving east on Bryant and had stopped at the private drive, with the flashing amber lights having been activated but not the flashing red lights, Howald said. The bus driver stopped, but the driver of a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado, who was driving west on Bryant, struck Banos as she was crossing the street, Howald said. From the impact, Banos was thrown into a ditch, Howald said, and the driver of the pickup pulled to the shoulder. Howald said that no charges are expected in this case. A page on

Communities ready to celebrate Veterans Day

Communities across eastern North Carolina are honoring veterans this week with music, prayer and speeches. Veterans Day celebrations in Greenville, Ayden, Winterville, Snow Hill, Farmville and Falkland are planned today and Wednesday to thank members of the U.S. armed forces for their service to the country. The federal holiday commemorates all military veterans who served in times of war and times of peace. Its origins extend to 1919, when Nov. 11 was proclaimed Armistice Day to honor veterans and celebrate the end of World War I a year earlier. Congress made Armistice Day a federal holiday in 1938, but after World War II and the Korean War, the holiday’s name was modified to honor all veterans. Greenville’s ceremony, organized by the Pitt County Veterans Council, is scheduled for 11 a.m. Wednesday at the Veterans Memorial at the Town Common. This year’s event will feature three speakers: retired Maj. Gen. Rob Tempel, Army Sgt. Ernie Harrison and Maj. Gen. Todd Hunt. The average Vietnam War veteran is in their mid 70s to early 80s, according to Together We Stand, a military veterans directory. This means there are fewer and fewer veterans each Veterans Day, said Scott Barker, president of the Pitt

The Gryphons responded with 24 unanswered points.

Tar River Art Gallery at the Mills now open

Marion Clark Weathers immediately recalled the genesis of her becoming an artist. “When I was in the third grade, my report card said: Marion doesn’t pay attention in class. She’s always drawing,” Weathers said Wednesday in an interview. Weathers of Rocky Mount was speaking about the days when she was an elementary school student in Orangeburg, S.C. The graduate of the University of Georgia’s art school has been an artist throughout her life. Her creativity is readily evident locally. Her design of two trains is featured on a mural just off Southwest Main Street downtown. Artist Ashley Fabrizio painted the mural. More of Weathers’s creativity is now displayed at the Tar River Art Gallery at the Mills. The gallery opened Sunday in a building off Falls Road in what was the Larema Beverage Co. before the business closed in November 2025. The building, which dates back to 1835, is part of the Rocky Mount Mills commercial and residential development. “I’ve always believed in having art in Rocky Mount,” Weathers said, adding that the new location “will elevate us to where we need to be.” The gallery is an expansion of the nonprofit Tar River Art Gallery, which has art displayed
