Buc-ee’s seeks recommendation from planning board for rezoning

The Buc-ee’s chain of travel centers plans to seek a Rocky Mount Planning Board recommendation today that the Rocky Mount City Council rezone a piece of land to pave the way for future development just off the Interstate 95 interchange for Gold Rock. The Planning Board is set to meet at 5:30 p.m. today at City Hall. Buc-ee’s has stated that the chain is under contract to purchase about 34 acres on the southeast side of the interchange northwest of Rocky Mount. That includes the location of dilapidated motel that long ago was a Howard Johnson’s motor lodge and wooded areas near the old motel. Gold Rock was annexed into Rocky Mount in 1997; however, some of the land that would be part of the planned purchase is not part of that satellite annexation and would have to be annexed by the City Council. Representatives of Buc-ee’s would like that land to be annexed and to be rezoned from Nash County general commercial to city B-2 commercial corridor to match the zoning for the rest of the land to the north in Gold Rock that Buc-ee’s also is eyeing for purchase. Land zoned B-2 commercial corridor by the city allows

Jenkins: Health department treats generations

Martin-Tyrrell-Washington District Health Department’s Human Services Deputy Director Latonya Jenkins did not always know what she wanted to do for a career. When she figured it out, she poured her heart and soul into nursing. Jenkins grew up in the Indian Woods area of Bertie County, then moved to Martin County when she was 12. Upon graduation, she spent a semester at East Carolina University. “I did not do well at all,” she confessed. “My Mama [Shelia Roberson] got tired of me messing around. She threatened, ‘You are either going to Perdue [to work], or you are going to school.’” That was her wakeup call. “I got my booty in school. But I wasn’t sure what I was going for,” she added. Her stepfather, Elder Linvert Roberson (now deceased), whom she called her “Bonus Dad,” suggested nursing. “That is how it all started,” she said. At Beaufort Community College, the counselor encouraged her to go beyond her basic LPN — Licensed Practical Nurse. “When I told her I just wanted to do LPN, she told me, ‘No, I’m setting you up for RN [registered nurse].’” Jenkins received her associate’s degree in nursing (ADN) in 2000. “My first nursing job was

Historical marker sought in Jamesville

Sometimes, when the wind blows just right, echoing through the woods of Jamesville and out across the Roanoke River, a low, mournful, lonely sound of a “train” can be heard — reminding listeners of what once was. If Charles “Bo” Dickerson has his way, Martin County will soon have a more permanent reminder than the wind in the trees of a railroad bed that once existed here, connecting the Jamesville river to the Pamlico in Washington. Dickerson has set into motion a request for a N.C. Highway Historical Marker to commemorate the Jamesville and Washington (J&W) Railroad and Lumber Company that started here in 1869 and closed in 1897. The track leading to Washington was approximately 22.57 miles long and had one stop off in between. What was once known as Dymond City, a bustling town with a 32-room hotel, eventually died out when the railroad stopped running. The train made one round trip in a day, said Dickerson. “It put Martin County on the map big time,” he said. “Also, Beaufort County and even Washington County because of the lumber and produce and grain they hauled for the farmers.” Dickerson owns land where the Jamesville terminus was located and
