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.

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

Consumer complaint leads to paused sales at Triangle gas stations. How to report

State inspectors found problems that could harm consumers at pumps at 15 gas stations across Wake, Durham and Johnston counties. Many inspections happened on routine visits, but inspectors also follow up on consumer complaints. If you spot an issue at the pump, here’s how to file a complaint with the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services’ Standards Division. Full story: Gas sales temporarily stopped at 15 Triangle stations. 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. What inspectors look for: Problems like “abnormal performance” and “meter creep” — when the gas pump trigger is released but the meter keeps climbing — can get a pump tagged and taken out of service. In general, these inspectors check weighing and measuring devices for accuracy. Complaints drive inspections: Of the Triangle visits between Aug. 19 and Oct. 31, consumer complaints prompted inspections at 19 stations.
