A hat trick of accomplishments

Two county commissions and a town council each had individual meetings last week and together the results of those meetings have accomplished a hat trick in the goal department. Now we’re not speaking of a Gordie Howe hat trick — a goal, an assist and a fight in one game — we’re talking about three local governmental bodies achieving major accomplishments in the same week. That’s commendable. Last week, Bertie County, Martin County and the town of Edenton, each took steps worth celebrating. Bertie County cut the ribbon on the Taj Mahal of local animal shelters, Drew Batts held a well-attended community forum in Martin County and the Edenton Town Council came steps closer to a healthy choice for residents craving new flavors at a new local grocery store. Bertie County Manager Juan Vaughan, former Assistant County Manager David Scarborough, Commission Chair Corey Ballance and the entire Bertie Board of Commissioners deserve high praise. The new animal shelter project is completed and the shelter will soon be open for business. The project had been on the drawing boards for over three years. During the time, the commission and Vaughan have come under fire on many occasions for the length of

Candidates work polls in final hours of Election Day

With 90 minutes left before the polls closed Tuesday, three candidates were still working the parking lots, shaking the last hands of a campaign season that one of them said never really shuts off. Two of them worked the parking lot of Evangelical Methodist Church, 820 Okisko Road: Timothy Stallings Jr., a first-time candidate for the at-large seat on the Pasquotank County Board of Commissioners, and Sam Davis, a candidate for N.C. House of Representatives District 5. Davis, 73, owns a local real estate company. He served one term as a county commissioner, from 1998 to 2002, and was appointed to the board again in 2023. He currently holds the at-large seat Stallings is seeking. At 6 p.m. Tuesday, Davis hurried to greet voters and the children who came to the polls with their parents. “The turnout has been steady. We’ve seen a lot of voters during this campaign,” Davis said. Stallings greeted voters as they walked toward the entrance and as they left. When he approached one voter and called out, “Good to see you, preacher,” the man paused, laid a hand on Stallings’ shoulder and offered a 15-second prayer. The moment eased what Stallings described as a grueling
