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.

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.

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

Maritime initiative aims to keep shipbuilding jobs in NC

China has the world’s largest navy and more than 200 times the shipbuilding capacity of the United States. That's according to a U.S. Office of Naval Intelligence data first reported in July 2023. With American maritime supremacy under threat, a growing consortium of North Carolina colleges, advanced manufacturers, industry suppliers and other workforce development partners has joined forces to answer that national security concern with skilled workers, a tighter supply chain, cybersecurity development and more. Eastern North Carolina and its deep maritime legacy took center stage Nov. 5 at a listening session for the North Carolina Maritime Manufacturing Initiative, held at the K.E. White Graduate Center at Elizabeth City State University (ECSU), which hosted the event. North Carolina State University Industry Expansion Solutions (IES) and the North Carolina Military Business Center (NCMBC) launched the NCMMI in 2025. “What we’re really talking about is finding a workforce for advanced manufacturing,” said Margaret Roberton, vice president for workforce development and chief of staff at Central Carolina Community College, another partner in the initiative. “We have a lot of manufacturing in North Carolina, which I think is fantastic, but we also need to have a robust talent pipeline.” That means not only preparing
