Durham animal shelter says alleged poor conditions don't reflect the shelter today

A former Durham County animal shelter employee posted graphic photos he said showed the shelter’s poor conditions to Facebook on Wednesday. The employee alleged that dogs were fed moldy food, animals were covered in feces, roaches were falling from the ceiling and dead animals were piled up or laid across the ground waiting to be cremated. The Animal Protection Society of Durham, the nonprofit that runs the shelter under a county contract of over $1 million, confirmed it was aware of posts from “a former employee who has expressed dissatisfaction with the organization” in a Thursday statement . But the APS wrote that the former employee’s photos did not reflect the conditions of the shelter now. The former employee has not worked at the shelter for over four months, and the “historical” photos were not from the final months of his employment, APS wrote. “That does not mean we are dismissing what these images show,” the APS wrote. “APS has faced significant challenges, and we have been open about the changes needed to address them.” Design work starting on new animal shelter The News & Observer has previously reported on the animal shelter’s challenges.

When UNC football alum faced mental-health challenges, he took action

Paul Burgess first stumbled across Elijah Green’s name in an article by The Daily Tar Heel. Burgess is the senior pastor at University Baptist Church in Chapel Hill, and on Saturday, he’s set to host the fifth annual Franklin All Nighter. The mental-health focused fundraiser was derived in December 2021 when Burgess was making the transition to University Baptist. As a way of promoting mental wellness and raising money for the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), he decided he’d run all night long — a total of 60 miles. “And yeah,” Burgess said, “it was terrible. But for all the right reasons.” It’s since become an event that sets an annual goal of $30,000 and, this year, will raise money for three mental-health specific departments and organizations as well as Street Outreach, Harm Reduction & Deflection — to provide mental health services to unhoused in Orange County. He’s gotten to know UNC’s director of mental health and performance psychology, Dr. Jeni Shannon, who shared with him that athletes seeking mental health services at North Carolina once had to sit on a wait list that, at one point, was “basically two months long.” It led him to take an interest

Sanford Lands $1B Caterpillar Plant as Raleigh-Durham Bets Beyond Life Sciences

Caterpillar wants to build a roughly $1 billion manufacturing facility in Sanford, North Carolina, about 40 miles south of Raleigh, to ramp up production of compact track loaders and telehandlers. It is one of several major industrial commitments landing across the Raleigh-Durham region this year, a shift that's pulling the area's identity away from its longtime reputation as a life sciences hub and toward something broader.

Durham's latest hot spot delivers fiery spice and punchy citrus from a top chef

If things had gone according to chef Michael Lee’s original plans, Durham might not have one of its flagship restaurants — M Sushi. More than a decade ago when Lee was looking to open his first restaurant, he thought it would be M Nikkei, a fusion restaurant blending Japanese techniques and dishes with the spice and citrus of Peruvian ingredients. There was nothing else like it at the time in Durham, nor since. Lee instead opened M Sushi, the most ambitious sushi restaurant in the city and now the cornerstone of Lee’s restaurant empire. But he wasn’t done with Nikkei cuisine. And now after 10 years and seven other restaurants, Lee has finally returned to his original vision. M Nikkei opened Halloween weekend in Durham’s Five Points district in the very heart of downtown. The restaurant replaces the former M Pocha , another Lee creation that served Korean street food for seven years. Here are five things to know about the brand new M Nikkei. A decade in the making Lee is obsessive about ingredients. He operates M Sushi locations in Durham and Cary but says the products are very different, because each restaurant uses different kinds of rice and
