Annual Ride of Honor returns for fourth year to celebrate veterans

The 2026 Ride of Honor slated for today is set to feature numerous motorcyclists taking a route from Flying Iron Harley-Davidson off North Winstead Avenue into the Nash County countryside and through small towns before returning to the motorcycle dealership. The motorcycle ride is going to be the fourth such event. The purpose is to celebrate veterans and to help raise funds for nonprofit veterans-focused initiatives in Nash County. Mary Ann Knarr-Avery, the founder of the event, said she is pleased with how the ride has grown through the years. “I’ll tell you, when we started out, we only had a few people helping put this together,” Knarr-Avery said. Now, Knarr-Avery said, “We have an amazing team of people,” including ambassadors, a group of alumni and community leaders providing support. “And so, I see us continuing to grow,” Knarr-Avery said. “Every year, it’s a little bit better.” Knarr-Avery also noted that the Ride of Honor has grown to include what is called Project Built for Honor. Project Built for Honor resulted in what Knarr-Avery said is an approaching completion of transforming, in stages, the interior of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2057 off N.C. 97 southwest of Rocky Mount.

Raleigh may rename part of New Bern Avenue for first Black mayor. What to know

Advocates in Southeast Raleigh want to rename a stretch of New Bern Avenue after Clarence E. Lightner, the city’s first popularly elected Black mayor. City, state and federal officials met in October to discuss the possibility. FULL STORY: A new name for Raleigh’s New Bern Avenue? City’s first Black mayor could be honored Here are key takeaways: Longtime activist Octavia Rainey is leading the push to honor Lightner on signs from Person Street to WakeMed, a corridor that runs through neighborhoods where he held influence for decades. Lightner served as mayor from 1973-75 and was part of the “Oval Table Gang” that strategized with civil rights pioneers Ralph and June Campbell to end segregation peacefully. He died in 2002. The proposed stretch includes a downtown post office and the Terry Sanford federal building, meaning a name change would affect their addresses. Rainey concedes the process will take time. Raleigh’s four main downtown streets going east, west, north and south were originally named for the towns they led to, including New Bern. The avenue is currently midway through a transformation that will bring North Carolina’s first rapid-transit bus line.

Why DEQ let a Raleigh real estate agent take over a troubled Wayne County hog farm

A Raleigh real estate agent with no hog farming experience bought a Wayne County farm infamous for a massive 2022 waste spill, and it has kept leaking sludge into public waterways. State regulators approved his permit to run the site without a background check and have little power beyond issuing fines, which the owner hasn’t paid. FULL STORY: Why DEQ trusted a Raleigh real estate agent with the site of a massive hog waste spill Here are key takeaways: Wallace Green, a Raleigh real estate agent operating as Biox Renewables — a one-person LLC with no website or office — bought the former White Oak Farms at auction in 2024 despite never having run such an operation. The N.C. Department of Environmental Quality does not perform background checks or require financial disclosures from applicants. Spokesperson Josh Kastrinsky said the only confirmation sought was that Green had a registered LLC. DEQ has fined Biox three times this year — $10,697 in May, $7,347 in August and $5,280 in September — but Green hasn’t paid any of them and insists he’s “in compliance.” He is also over a year behind on required reports.
