New Salvation Army pantry lets families choose own food

The Salvation Army of the Albemarle Region’s new Client Choice Food Pantry is open. The 25-by-60-foot, climate-controlled pantry was built next to the Salvation Army’s church at 906 Fourth St. in Elizabeth City. The Elizabeth City Chamber of Commerce worked with Salvation Army officials to coordinate a ribbon cutting on Oct. 23. Roy Daniels, vice chairman of the Salvation Army’s advisory board and chairman of its property committee, called the construction process a labor of love. “We have a dedicated staff. Toni Sawyer — you can’t highlight her enough — going through the grant application, which is not easy,” Daniels said. In 2024, the Golden LEAF Foundation awarded the Salvation Army of the Albemarle Region $250,000 to build the facility. “We awarded the contract to Revelle Builders, and they did a good job. Dealing with the city on permits and inspections, everything went good,” Daniels said. “The community has been very supportive. A majority of the funding came from the Golden LEAF Foundation. The two co-sponsors were the Food Bank of the Albemarle and Sentara Health. “We have a walk-in refrigerator, walk-in freezer and a generator to protect all the items in those facilities if the power goes out.

A 20-year-old Elizabeth City man is being held without bond on felony assault and firearm charges after police arrested him on outstanding warrants during a traffic stop, Oct. 29. Jermell Donte Grubbs Jr., of the 700 block of Laurel Avenue, is charged with three felony counts of assault with a deadly weapon, along with felony counts of discharging a firearm into an occupied dwelling and possession of a firearm by a felon, according to a police news release.

Candidates work polls in final hours of Election Day

With 90 minutes left before the polls closed Tuesday, three candidates were still working the parking lots, shaking the last hands of a campaign season that one of them said never really shuts off. Two of them worked the parking lot of Evangelical Methodist Church, 820 Okisko Road: Timothy Stallings Jr., a first-time candidate for the at-large seat on the Pasquotank County Board of Commissioners, and Sam Davis, a candidate for N.C. House of Representatives District 5. Davis, 73, owns a local real estate company. He served one term as a county commissioner, from 1998 to 2002, and was appointed to the board again in 2023. He currently holds the at-large seat Stallings is seeking. At 6 p.m. Tuesday, Davis hurried to greet voters and the children who came to the polls with their parents. “The turnout has been steady. We’ve seen a lot of voters during this campaign,” Davis said. Stallings greeted voters as they walked toward the entrance and as they left. When he approached one voter and called out, “Good to see you, preacher,” the man paused, laid a hand on Stallings’ shoulder and offered a 15-second prayer. The moment eased what Stallings described as a grueling

Hopeline marks 45 years of sheltering survivors

Over the last 45 years, Albemarle Hopeline has grown from an idea into a permanent institution supporting victims and survivors of domestic and sexual violence. “We are at a place where we never have to turn anyone away due to lack of space, and this is remarkable,” Executive Director Courtney Cottrell said, “because my staff could tell you, we get about two to three calls a day from Raleigh, from Charlotte … their shelters are full so they have survivors with nowhere to go. So to have built a facility … of this size even in our rural community is really remarkable.” Cottrell spoke at the nonprofit’s 45th anniversary celebration and fundraiser at Seven Sounds Brewing Co. on Oct. 29. She and Patricia Youngblood, Hopeline’s “Founding Mother,” were the featured speakers. In 1981, Youngblood and a group of women in Elizabeth City came together to determine whether the area had a domestic violence problem. “Those women went to Raleigh, came back with information, and began to meet to talk about what we do here, and what we have here,” she recalled. “‘Do we have a problem here? Are we different …’ Of course, nobody is different … so those very
