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

'Forgotten Patriots' discussed at lecture series

While history books recount The Battle of Bunker Hill, Valley Forge, The Battle of Trenton and Yorktown, the efforts of Revolutionary War Patriots who served from the southern states and the contributions of patriots from areas like northeastern North Carolina are often neglected. Bill and Chris Barber sought to rectify that with their new book, “Forgotten Patriots of the Albemarle,” and a lecture on Oct. 9 at the historic 1767 Chowan County Courthouse. The lecture was part of the Shepard-Pruden Memorial Library’s Armchair Travelers Series in conjunction with Edenton State Historic Sites. Chris Barber, a retired educator, and Bill Barber, a retired professional forester, have created second careers with their research in local topics like the region’s massive timber industry of the early twentieth century, moonshine in the Albemarle region and now a long-overdue examination of the role northeastern counties of North Carolina played in the Revolution. Chris Barber said that historians understandably tell the stories of the biggest battles and of troops from the most populous colonies, but she said the story is bigger than that. “History lives in ordinary places,” she said. The Barbers’ research and subsequent book identified more than 700 patriots associated with the Edenton Military

New Bern Studio Artist Tour

On a crisp November morning in New Bern, the front porch lights flicker on a little earlier than usual. Driveways begin to fill, studio doors prop open, and the smell of coffee mingles with the faint tang of oil paint, damp clay, and sawdust. All across the city, signs read, “Come On In.”

Native Fine Diner's Michelin designation puts Greenville on the food map

The recent Michelin Dining Guide recommendation has Native Fine Diner and its owner, Luke Owens, paying even closer attention to details. Owens was in Nashville, Tennessee, last week to be recognized for his restaurant’s prestigious recommended status in the Michelin Guide American South, one of only 58 listings from North Carolina. The honor came after a year of surreptitious visits from anonymous inspectors who graded the restaurant based on a host of characteristics, including the quality of the ingredients, the mastery of flavor and cooking techniques, the ability to see the chef’s personality come through the food and the value of the meal. It marks the first time a Greenville restaurant has been named to the Michelin Guide, which was originally developed by the tire company as a way to give people guidance on where to travel and where to eat when they travel. The designation goes a long way toward establishing the city as a place with good dining experiences and it opens up the possibility that more Greenville-area restaurants may be included in future editions of the annual guide, Owens said. Owens fills an unusual niche in the restaurant business. His restaurant is both upscale and common. “You
