Tethering issue firmly back before commissioners

While last week’s ribbon cutting signaled progress for the county animal control efforts. The question that has been hanging around the commissioners neck for the past decade, whether or not to adopt a no tethering ordinance has yet to be addressed. Although pleas from some residents and PETA representatives to adopt a no tethering ordinance have been constant, the commissioners have not addressed the issue since March. However, the issue of Bertie County dogs has landed back on the commissions plate. PETA Director of Community Relations Rachel Bellis appeared before the commissioners last week, once again presenting photographs of emaciated, tether torn canine. Bellis went on to ask the commissioners to adopt an ordinance. “PETA fieldworkers found the approximately 6-week-old puppies in September on a Bertie County property, where their mother, Hazel, is kept confined outside,” Bellis said. “The owners told us that Hazel had ‘gotten loose’ and given birth to six puppies, one of whom had already died. “Of the surviving puppies, two were lying inside her doghouse on the verge of death due to a flea infestation that had so severely depleted their blood supply that their gums were white,” she added. “Their owners allowed PETA to take

Hundreds gather to celebrate, pay tribute

Word has spread about the The Bub Jackson Hunting Preserve birthday celebration. Last Saturday’s Bub Jackson birthday event could be considered one of the county’s most popular yearly gatherings. Only in its second year, the celebration attracted a larger crowd than last year with close to 400 people from across the country attending, including foodies, hunters, Bertie County officials and political power brokers from the senate floor. Retired Judge J.C. Cole, Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson and Bertie County Commissioner Vivian Saunders, all recently appointed to the Preserve’s Advisory Board, enjoyed the afternoon filled with the aromas of open flame cooking. Thompson chaired the bipartisan House Select Committee to investigate the Jan. 6 attack on the United States Capitol and was reelected to his 18th term on Nov. 3. The trio sported Bub Jackson Advisor shirts. What began in 2025 as a birthday celebration for Tim Bazemore’s good friend and hunting partner, Bub Jackson, has grown into a high ticket event and a price everyone can afford. The 12 chefs from across the country began prepping their dishes Friday afternoon for the hungry crowd. While each of the celebrity chefs are known for their specialties, attendees were introduced to rabbit stew,

Normandy official, veterans help RMA bring history to life

For students at Rocky Mount Academy, Veterans Day was more than a lesson from a history book. On Wednesday, it was an opportunity to shake the hands of men and women who wore the nation’s uniform, hear their stories and meet a visitor from Normandy, France, whose life’s work has been dedicated to ensuring the sacrifice of an American soldier from Rocky Mount is never forgotten. Veterans lined the campus roadway Wednesday morning as students and families welcomed them to the academy’s annual Veterans Day celebration. The parade and school being in session on the federal holiday is part of a long and proud tradition for the private school, staff and students. And the celebration was a campuswide event that incorporated the participation of the entire school. The program honored veterans from every branch of military service while emphasizing the values of duty, sacrifice and citizenship that educators hope students will carry into their own lives. “We teach history in our classrooms,” Head of School Beth Covolo told attendees. “But you, our veterans, lived it.” The ceremony’s special guest was Jean-Vincent du Lac de Fugeres, a Normandy native and elected official there whose connection to eastern North Carolina stretches back

City Planning Board approves rezoning request by Buc-ee’s

The Rocky Mount Planning Board earlier this week unanimously approved a request to rezone land so that the Buc-ee’s chain of travel centers can build a new location off the Interstate 95 interchange for Gold Rock. “We can talk about it if you want to, but I mean it’s a no-brainer,” Planning Board member James Tharin said moments before making a motion to recommend the rezoning request to the City Council. Tharin said that Buc-ee’s request can be considered consistent with the city’s Together Tomorrow: Tier I Smart Growth Comprehensive Plan, that Buc-ee’s request is reasonable and that Buc-ee’s request is in the public interest. Planning Board member Theresa Alston Stokes seconded Tharin’s motion. The Planning Board met Tuesday evening. No one spoke against the recommendation moments before the unanimous vote. Scott Ratcliff, who is director of engineering for Buc-ee’s, said after the meeting that he and the rest of the Buc-ee’s team are elated. “We want to be in Rocky Mount — and we’re excited to have a community that’s welcoming us and looking forward to working with them,” Ratcliff said. Buc-ee’s has stated that the chain is under contract to purchase about 34 acres on the southeast side

The city of Rocky Mount’s Veterans Day ceremony included the audience getting the chance to hear about a native son who lost his life in World War II. Jean-Vincent du Lac de Fugeres of Normandy, France, has long been tending to the gravesite of Pvt. John T. Lee at the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial in France. Speaking on a warm Wednesday morning at the ceremony held at the Rocky Mount Veterans Memorial at Jack Laughery Park, du Lac de Fugeres told the audience that 30 years ago he was a student at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington and that he fell in love with the state and the nation. He also told the audience that one of his ancestors fought for America’s independence from the British, meaning that he also is a son of the American Revolution. And, du Lac de Fugeres also told the audience that he is proud to have been born on the Fourth of July. In April 2025, he was presented a key to the city amid a visit to Rocky Mount.
