Second Wawa in city to open in three weeks

A second Wawa convenience store in Rocky Mount is slated to begin serving customers in less than a month. The doors are set to be opened at 8 a.m. Dec. 3 at the North Winstead Avenue and Curtis Ellis Drive intersection, according to Alyson Mucha, a public relations representative with the Wawa chain. Mucha said in a Monday afternoon email that the store opening is going to be followed by a ceremony at 11 a.m. And Mucha said that the chain is finalizing some elements of the opening and is going to provide an alert with more details in the next few weeks. The future second Wawa is just southwest of the North Winstead interchange with the busy U.S. 64 and roughly a couple of miles from the U.S. 64 interchange with the Interstate 95 Maine-to-Miami corridor. The Wawa chain, which is based in Pennsylvania, is famous for hoagie-style sandwiches, coffee and other made-to-order items. Rocky Mount Mayor Sandy Roberson said after Monday night’s City Council meeting that he believes Wawa constructing the second future location in the city has generated much interest. “And I am looking forward to their opening,” Roberson said. “It’s moving along nicely,” he said of

Tethering issue firmly back before commissioners

The question that has been hanging around the commissioners neck for the past decade, whether or not to adopt a no tethering ordinance has yet to be addressed. Although pleas from some residents and PETA representatives to adopt a no tethering ordinance have been constant, the commissioners have not addressed the issue since March. However, the issue of Bertie County dogs has landed back on the commissions plate. PETA Director of Community Relations Rachel Bellis appeared before the commissioners last week, once again presenting photographs of emaciated, tether torn canine. Bellis went on to ask the commissioners to adopt an ordinance. “PETA fieldworkers found the approximately 6-week-old puppies in September on a Bertie County property, where their mother, Hazel, is kept confined outside,” Bellis said. “The owners told us that Hazel had ‘gotten loose’ and given birth to six puppies, one of whom had already died. “Of the surviving puppies, two were lying inside her doghouse on the verge of death due to a flea infestation that had so severely depleted their blood supply that their gums were white,” she added. “Their owners allowed PETA to take
