Albemarle Neighbor: Bowman turns late-night baking into Edenton home business

In Edenton, Ashley Bowman spends her nights mixing up batches of sweets for her Take It EZ Home Bakery. “I’ve always liked to cook,” Bowman said. “This is what I do for fun.” Bowman, a pharmacy operations manager at the Walgreens in Edenton, started the home bakery more than a year ago. She named it after the initials of her sons, Eason and Zane. She does her baking at night, after her family has gone to sleep, filling the house with the aroma of desserts in the oven. Bowman makes a variety of cinnamon rolls, including cookies and cream, a favorite of one of her sons. She also makes pound cakes, but cake pops are among her most popular items. She can make them in a range of cake flavors and customize them for special occasions, including themed cake pops for children’s birthdays and school-themed ones that have become popular teacher gifts. Bowman said she was inspired to bake by her grandmother, who died three years ago. “She would dip everything in chocolate during Christmas,” Bowman said. She also turns to TikTok for ideas. “I put a twist on it to make it my own,” she said. Bowman will sell

Warren County Low Income Energy Assistance Program

The Low Income Energy Assistance Program (LIEAP) provides a one-time annual vendor payment to help eligible families pay their heating expense. If you received a LIHEAP payment in 2025-2026 an automatic payment will be generated to that same account this fiscal year. The state will mail notices in November 2026 to each family from the 2025-2026 pre-populated application information. The notice will be sent with instructions to the recipient on how to report changes to the department. The recipient can contact or return the notice with changes to their local DSS office within 10 business days. If the recipient does not contact or report any changes to DSS, the information from the 2025-2026 LIEAP application will be used to approve the household for 2026-2027 benefits. The recipient will be informed that an automated LIEAP payment was given to them. They do not need to apply.

Why DEQ let a Raleigh real estate agent take over a troubled Wayne County hog farm

A Raleigh real estate agent with no hog farming experience bought a Wayne County farm infamous for a massive 2022 waste spill, and it has kept leaking sludge into public waterways. State regulators approved his permit to run the site without a background check and have little power beyond issuing fines, which the owner hasn’t paid. FULL STORY: Why DEQ trusted a Raleigh real estate agent with the site of a massive hog waste spill Here are key takeaways: Wallace Green, a Raleigh real estate agent operating as Biox Renewables — a one-person LLC with no website or office — bought the former White Oak Farms at auction in 2024 despite never having run such an operation. The N.C. Department of Environmental Quality does not perform background checks or require financial disclosures from applicants. Spokesperson Josh Kastrinsky said the only confirmation sought was that Green had a registered LLC. DEQ has fined Biox three times this year — $10,697 in May, $7,347 in August and $5,280 in September — but Green hasn’t paid any of them and insists he’s “in compliance.” He is also over a year behind on required reports.

Gas sales temporarily stopped at 15 Triangle stations. Here's where and why

State inspectors found issues with gas pumps at 15 Triangle stations, pausing sales to help protect consumers. Inspectors from the Standards Division of the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services visited dozens of stations across the Triangle area between Aug. 19 and Oct. 31, records obtained by The News & Observer show. Many of the pumps had no problems, but at a handful of stations in Wake, Durham and Johnston counties, inspectors found issues that could harm consumers. When that happens, inspectors “tag” pumps, meaning they are taken out of service until issues are resolved. Some of the inspections were routine, but visits to 19 stations were prompted by consumer complaints. Chad Parker, measurement manager with the Standards Division, previously told me that complaints tick up when gas prices rise. Prices have started to drop over the past month, after the law that paused the state’s collection of the motor fuels tax went into effect in early October. But in the months leading up to that, since the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran, gas has been expensive. Average prices for a gallon of regular gas in North Carolina increased from $3.72 Aug. 19 to $4.15 Sept. 19, before dropping to

This Old-School North Carolina Model Train Shop Turns Just Looking Into An Entire Afternoon

Some shops are built for a quick in-and-out trip, and some are built for losing track of the clock. This one in Raleigh belongs firmly in the second group. The shelves run wall to wall with locomotives, rolling stock, track, scenery supplies, and vintage pieces that disappeared from most stores years ago. The staff will happily talk scales and transformers for as long as you have questions, and a resident cat may greet you at the door.
