Martin Co. native to discuss latest book

A Martin County native is coming back home to Williamston to talk about her third book. Leah Weiss, who was born in Williamston, left North Carolina around the age of 10. She spent the rest of her adolescence in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. This will be Weiss’ second time to visit Martin Memorial in recent years to discuss her books. In 2021, she visited to talk about her second book All the Little Hopes, which takes place in a town much like Williamston — the fictional Riverton — during World War II. Weiss said Williamston’s historic German POW camp inspired All the Little Hopes. Wiess considers herself “southern by grace.” “My roots run deep in the flat lands of North Carolina,” she said. Her first book, If the Creek Don’t Rise, set in Appalachia, sold over 100,000 copies. Weiss began writing full-time after retiring from a 24-year career as Executive Assistant to the headmaster at Virginia Episcopal School in 2015, becoming a best-selling author late in life. Ann Phelps, who retired as branch librarian at Martin Memorial in 2023 after 25 years, is now chair of The Friends of Martin Memorial Library. (The Friends of Martin Memorial Library

Bertie County Animal Shelter reopens to rave reviews

It is a cliché at this point: When one door closes, another one opens. So goes the story of the Bertie County Animal Shelter. The complaints, controversy and consternation brought on by the condition of the former Bertie County Animal Shelter have come to a close with the opening of the county’s new animal shelter. Officially opened on Friday, Oct. 30, and christened with a highly anticipated ribbon cutting, the new shelter, with a hefty roadside sign, looks welcoming. Inside, the shelter hadn’t been used and each of the 16 rooms, complete with an exit door to an outdoor kennel, would seem comfortable to a dog whether strayed or not. A bright blue sky was the perfect backdrop for Bertie Manager Juan Vaughan to welcome guests and offer a new outlook for Bertie County and its animals. “I am honored and very grateful to stand before you today as the county manager. Before we kick things off, I wanna make sure everyone is in the right place,” explained Vaughan. “If you intended to come to one of the most beautiful places in North Carolina, I want you to know, you’re in the right place.

There’s a place in Williamston, North Carolina where the frontier spirit didn’t just survive, it set up a full dining room and started serving char-broiled steaks. Deadwood is one of those discoveries that makes you feel genuinely lucky, the kind of place that exists in the space between what you expected and what you actually got, and the gap between those two things is enormous.
