Tethering issue firmly back before commissioners

While last week’s ribbon cutting signaled progress for the county animal control efforts. 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

Williamston man wins $1 million top prize from $10 lottery ticket

A Williamston man won a $1 million top prize on Oct. 30 after purchasing a $10 scratch-off from Williamston Family Fare on West Main Street. Mark Sanderson, 54, of Williamston, arrived at lottery headquarters Thursday to claim his prize, a media release said. Sanderson was given a decision on how to receive his prize; as an annuity of $50,000 over 20 years or a lump sum of $600,000. He chose the latter, and after required tax withholdings, he took home $432,063. Sanderson’s win comes after the “50X The Cash” game debuted in January, including 12 top prizes of $1 million, with nine still remaining to be claimed. Additionally, Martin County received a $62 million grant funded by the lottery to build a new high school in 2024, which is expected to be open by 2028.

Hundreds gather to celebrate, pay tribute

Word has spread about the The Bub Jackson Hunting Preserve birthday celebration. Last Saturday’s Bub Jackson birthday event could be considered one of the county’s most popular yearly gatherings. Only in its second year, the celebration attracted a larger crowd than last year with close to 400 people from across the country attending, including foodies, hunters, Bertie County officials and political power brokers from the senate floor. Retired Judge J.C. Cole, Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson and Bertie County Commissioner Vivian Saunders, all recently appointed to the Preserve’s Advisory Board, enjoyed the afternoon filled with the aromas of open flame cooking. Thompson chaired the bipartisan House Select Committee to investigate the Jan. 6 attack on the United States Capitol and was reelected to his 18th term on Nov. 3. The trio sported Bub Jackson Advisor shirts. What began in 2025 as a birthday celebration for Tim Bazemore’s good friend and hunting partner, Bub Jackson, has grown into a high ticket event and a price everyone can afford. The 12 chefs from across the country began prepping their dishes Friday afternoon for the hungry crowd. While each of the celebrity chefs are known for their specialties, attendees were introduced to rabbit stew,
