In Historical Marker Fight, Edenton Revisits a Painful Era

For years, Lew Powell has wanted the state to force a reckoning and install a historic marker near the former Little Rascals Day Care Center in Edenton. That’s the spot that in 1989 launched a spate of child abuse accusations and prosecutions of seven people who came to be known as the Edenton Seven. The case grabbed headlines in national publications such as the New York Times and Elle magazine. Powell and others who support the Edenton Seven compare their prosecutions to the famed Salem witch hunt hysteria in the late 17th century.

ECU Health community hospitals show a profit in FY 26

ECU Health’s community hospital system operated at a profit in the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, but officials say there are storm clouds on the horizon that could negatively impact future finances. In a report to the ECU Health Community Hospital Board of Directors on Oct. 27, system leaders reported a $69.9 million operating profit for the year for the eight hospitals operating in Washington, Windsor, Tarboro, Roanoke Rapids, Nags Head, Kenansville, Edenton and Ahoskie. Revenues were ahead of budget expectations by about $28 million. Expenses were also higher than budgeted, but only by about $3.9 million. The difference allowed the hospital to record the operating surplus. System leaders were projecting $43.1 million in operating income, but that number came in at $69.9 million. Dr. Michael Waldrum, CEO of ECU Health and board chair of the community hospitals board of directors, notes that coming changes will have a significant impact on future financial reports. “Ending the fiscal year in a positive light, I think, is important. These numbers are not steady. We see in the front window, the One Big Beautiful Bill and other changes that are going to impact us a great deal,” Waldrum said. He said planned

Maritime initiative aims to keep shipbuilding jobs in NC

China has the world’s largest navy and more than 200 times the shipbuilding capacity of the United States. That's according to a U.S. Office of Naval Intelligence data first reported in July 2023. With American maritime supremacy under threat, a growing consortium of North Carolina colleges, advanced manufacturers, industry suppliers and other workforce development partners has joined forces to answer that national security concern with skilled workers, a tighter supply chain, cybersecurity development and more. Eastern North Carolina and its deep maritime legacy took center stage Nov. 5 at a listening session for the North Carolina Maritime Manufacturing Initiative, held at the K.E. White Graduate Center at Elizabeth City State University (ECSU), which hosted the event. North Carolina State University Industry Expansion Solutions (IES) and the North Carolina Military Business Center (NCMBC) launched the NCMMI in 2025. “What we’re really talking about is finding a workforce for advanced manufacturing,” said Margaret Roberton, vice president for workforce development and chief of staff at Central Carolina Community College, another partner in the initiative. “We have a lot of manufacturing in North Carolina, which I think is fantastic, but we also need to have a robust talent pipeline.” That means not only preparing
