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.

Packed meeting precedes vote on 133-lot Briarwood subdivision

It was standing room only at the Perquimans County Planning Board’s regular meeting Oct. 10. The board heard nearly two hours of comments from a full house of residents before approving a zoning map amendment for Briarwood Estates, a proposed 133-lot subdivision on 214 acres off Woodville Road in Hertford. The board includes five members, but member Thelma Finch-Copeland was not present and did not vote. Some residents called on the board to stop the subdivision at the outset, arguing that even a preliminary rezoning recommendation would create a “spiderweb” effect, opening the door to more high-density development, disrupting Perquimans’ rural peace and further straining utilities and school capacity. Others asked the board to table the vote in the name of “responsible growth.” Several endorsed the subdivision on the reputation of its applicant alone. The board ultimately found the proposed subdivision consistent with surrounding land uses and recommended rezoning the property, in the 300 to 400 block of Woodville Road, from Rural Agriculture District (RA) to Residential & Agricultural District (RA-32). RA-32 zoning allows major subdivisions; RA does not. Board members emphasized that their vote is a preliminary step in a long process that rezoning goes through before it appears

Surplus sale kicks off Perquimans band’s $85K goal to march in DC

The Perquimans High marching band needs $85,000 to march in Washington’s Fourth of July parade, and its fundraising kicks off Saturday with a sale of surplus from the former middle school. “We’re estimating it will cost about $85,000 to send the kids to the National Independence Day Parade in Washington," said Band Director Evan Copeland. "That is an awesome parade and a great opportunity to represent the state in this way.” At a Perquimans High home football game in early October, school officials announced the band had been selected to march in the parade. The trip will be a four-day, three-night stay in the nation's capital. “The students will go out and explore all the most cherished landmarks,” Copeland said. “The itinerary is chock-full of places to visit, such as the Smithsonian, and participating in the parade that goes along Constitution Avenue.” To help raise money, a liquidation sale will be held from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Nov. 14 at the former Perquimans County Middle School, at 312 W. Main Street, Winfall. The proceeds from the surplus sale will benefit the band and items will include restaurant-style seating, TVs, large-scale kitchen equipment, office furniture and tables.

Pilot program could help Edenton recycle glass

The town of Edenton’s curbside recycling program has a big hole in it that the Mayor’s Task Force on the Environment wants to plug — waste glass. A local pilot project is already turning discarded bottles into drinking glasses, decorative “sea glass” pebbles and garden stepping stones. On Nov. 9, task force co-chair Susan Inglis told residents how the program could offer Edenton another way to recycle glass. Inglis said residents need ways to recycle glass, which is not accepted by the current recycling program. She cited a pilot program she helped start at the Peanut Factory, an arts residency program on Badham Road in Edenton. That recycling effort demonstrates ways that glass, an extremely durable material, might be diverted from the waste stream. But first, she discussed some of the challenges that most glass recycling programs face. The economics and mechanics of collecting glass present problems for municipal systems. Most conventional recycling programs require glass to be separated by color — clear, brown and green. It is also bulky and can be dangerous to handle when broken. The result, she said, is that communities must find practical alternatives to keep discarded glass out of the waste stream. At the
