It Sounds Crazy, But Groceries, Gas, And Rent Are All Shockingly Cheap In This North Carolina Town

Somewhere between the big city dreams and the crushing weight of a rent payment that makes you question every life decision, there’s a town in eastern North Carolina quietly doing things right.

Bertie County Animal Shelter reopens to rave reviews

It is a cliché at this point: When one door closes, another one opens. So goes the story of the Bertie County Animal Shelter. The complaints, controversy and consternation brought on by the condition of the former Bertie County Animal Shelter have come to a close with the opening of the county’s new animal shelter. Officially opened on Friday, Oct. 30, and christened with a highly anticipated ribbon cutting, the new shelter, with a hefty roadside sign, looks welcoming. Inside, the shelter hadn’t been used and each of the 16 rooms, complete with an exit door to an outdoor kennel, would seem comfortable to a dog whether strayed or not. A bright blue sky was the perfect backdrop for Bertie Manager Juan Vaughan to welcome guests and offer a new outlook for Bertie County and its animals. “I am honored and very grateful to stand before you today as the county manager. Before we kick things off, I wanna make sure everyone is in the right place,” explained Vaughan. “If you intended to come to one of the most beautiful places in North Carolina, I want you to know, you’re in the right place. If you intended to come celebrate

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

Former Democratic state representative unseats NC Senate incumbent

A Democratic challenger unseated his Republican opponent Tuesday in one of the most competitive state Senate races. James Gailliard, a pastor and former state lawmaker, defeated Lisa Barnes, who was seeking her fourth term in Senate District 11, with all 51 precincts reporting unofficial results. The district encompasses Franklin, Nash and Vance counties. Gailliard posted to social media that he is “deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve.” “It is a true honor to be able to represent our communities in Raleigh, and it is a responsibility I do not take lightly,” he said. “Let’s get to work!” Gailliard, a pastor at Word Tabernacle Church in Rocky Mount who served two terms in the state House, campaigned on reforming criminal justice, increasing access to broadband in rural areas and decreasing unemployment. Barnes, a former Nash County commissioner who served one term in the House, advocated for cutting taxes, increasing access to healthcare and uplifting the agricultural community throughout her campaign. She has worked in agribusiness alongside her husband, Johnny Barnes, who owned one of the country’s largest sweet potato producers. He died last year. Multiple campaign ads have stirred controversy within the race. Lisa Barnes shared a video on social

In Historical Marker Fight, Edenton Revisits a Painful Era

For years, Lew Powell has wanted the state to force a reckoning and install a historic marker near the former Little Rascals Day Care Center in Edenton. That’s the spot that in 1989 launched a spate of child abuse accusations and prosecutions of seven people who came to be known as the Edenton Seven. The case grabbed headlines in national publications such as the New York Times and Elle magazine. Powell and others who support the Edenton Seven compare their prosecutions to the famed Salem witch hunt hysteria in the late 17th century.
