Pender stuns No. 1 Kenan

WARSAW — Nelson Martel stood stunned. James Kenan players disputed the midfield referee’s decision to no avail as he held the red card high in the evening sky. “It was well-deserved,” the Tigers’ head coach said. The controversial call infuriated James Kenan fans, who watched their squad scramble for 50-plus minutes a man down and suffer a devastating playoff elimination. Pender prevailed 6-4 and earned a third-round date with ninth-seeded Midway in the 2026 NC High School Athletic Association Class 3A boys’ soccer playoffs. Up 2-0 and seemingly in control, Kenan keeper Gio Lincona came off his line to challenge a Pender player one-on-one late in the opening half. The two players collided outside the box. “The goalie came out for the 50-50 ball,” Martel said. “The Pender player got there first and he [Lincona] crashed into the player. He was the last man. [So] the red card was denying a goal-scoring opportunity.” The 17th-seeded Patriots (10-14-0) converted the free kick. Martel could feel the momentum shift. “That set them up to win the game,” said Martel, who called upon Jose Cruz and Kaleb Gallegos to work between the pipes during the remainder of the tension-filled contest. “I couldn’t have

Bed bug complaints infest school board

Concerned residents confronted the Duplin County Board of Education at the Nov. 5 meeting about bed bugs being found recently at Kenansville Elementary School. Three individuals signed up for public comment to address the board on the topic. Marissa Phipps had several items to address. She started off by stating that she was both nervous and angry as she began addressing the board with her concerns. “This is a big immediate concern. We cannot keep asking our children and staff to report to work to risk bringing it home to our environment and spreading it worse,” she said. “Why not let us go remote, do it for a week, and come back to a clean environment? Yes, we cannot stop it from happening again, but we can stop it from spreading.” She also brought up bullying in schools, stating that it was a major issue. “If you look at the suicide rates in Duplin County, it’s the highest because bullying has not been handled,” she asserted. “Instead it’s being brushed to the side — saying to a child that’s not nice or handing out a stay away agreement. When a child is stuck in a classroom with 30 other kids

Another Poultry Jubilee sizzles into history books

ROSE HILL — Once a year, the covers are removed from the World’s Largest Frying Pan in Rose Hill, the compartments are filled with cooking oil and hundreds of pounds of breaded chicken are dumped in to the bubbly mix. As the smells of good old-fashioned fried chicken drift into the air, the line starts forming, the carnival rides start spinning, and the annual North Carolina Poultry Jubilee gets underway. This year’s event, held Friday night and all day Saturday by the World’s Largest Frying Pan and the Rose Hill Fire Department, turned out near-perfect, despite rain threatening to cancel the festivities. “What a record-breaking year!” organizers wrote on the jubilee’s Facebook page. “From the number of vendors and guests to the hours so many traveled to visit Rose Hill, your support was incredible. And of course, that block-long line for chicken said it all. Chicken sold out by 1:30 p.m.” In addition to the chicken plates and buckets, there were also various other food vendors, numerous arts and crafts vendors, live musical entertainment, carnival rides and an antique car show.

The Duplin County Board of Commissioners held a brief meeting on Monday, Nov. 2, during which retired Department of Social Services Director Annie Murrell was honored with a plaque of appreciation and the Order of the Long Leaf Pine. Lance Davis, county health and human services director, presented the honors to Murrell, saying it was “an honor and a privilege.” “Annie’s spent 30 years with the county,” he explained. “She retired as the director over social services. I’m gonna tell you I had a hard time thinking what I wanted to say because how do you explain somebody’s dedication? And the one thing that kept coming back was the word dedication.” He went on to say that Murrell was dedicated not only to her job, but to her family, her sorority and her church. “You’re a true definition of what everybody strives to be,” Davis told her, pointing out that she had worked in multiple areas of DSS, including child protective services, adult protective services, child support, and ultimately director. “You are something that our whole agency strives to become.” Commission Chair Dexter Edwards stated that he wanted to reiterate everything Davis said. “We really hate to lose you, but
