Stein awards Order of the Long Leaf Pine to boat builder

Gov. Josh Stein visited on Tuesday to honor a local entrepreneur who has been recognized for both his business acumen and his philanthropy. Eddie Smith, the owner of Grady-White Boats, was recognized during a ceremony at the company's Greenville plant, where he received the Order of the Long Leaf Pine. "One of the benefits of being governor is that I get to recognize some of the very best people in North Carolina," Stein said before a crowd of about 125 employees and guests. "Eddie Smith was responsible for taking a struggling business and turning it into what we see here today. Grady-White is part of what has made North Carolina the best state in the southeast for manufacturing." But Stein added that it isn't just Smith's commercial saavy that earned him the award. "What's remarkable about Eddie is not just how he built this company, but how he decided to leave it," Stein said. In July, Smith announced plans to place the company into a perpetual purpose trust, which protects it from takeover by outside buyers and supports the interests of the company's 336 employees. Smith was understated in his remarks. He credited employees with doing the hard work of

ECU Police announce unexpected death of K-9

An East Carolina University Police Department explosives detection dog died unexpectedly and was found Monday morning by her handler, the department announced. Brixi was an 8-year-old german shepherd and a member of the department since 2025, a news release said. Prior to her work with ECU, she worked for the U.S. State Department. According to ECU Police Chief Jason Sugg, Brixi had worked an athletic event Sunday and had no previous medical issues. Her handler, Officer Daniel Folk, checked on her around midnight and found her doing well, but discovered she had died in her bed at approximately 6:00 a.m., Sugg said. “Our condolences go out to her handler, Officer Daniel Folk and his family. Brixi was well loved as part of the Folk and ECUPD families,” Sugg said in the release. There are no indications of foul play or negligence, and Brixi was immediately transported to Raleigh for a necropsy through the North Carolina Department of Agriculture’s diagnostic laboratory system to confirm the cause of death, which could take up to six weeks, the department said.

Communities ready to celebrate Veterans Day

Communities across eastern North Carolina are honoring veterans this week with music, prayer and speeches. Veterans Day celebrations in Greenville, Ayden, Winterville, Snow Hill, Farmville and Falkland are planned today and Wednesday to thank members of the U.S. armed forces for their service to the country. The federal holiday commemorates all military veterans who served in times of war and times of peace. Its origins extend to 1919, when Nov. 11 was proclaimed Armistice Day to honor veterans and celebrate the end of World War I a year earlier. Congress made Armistice Day a federal holiday in 1938, but after World War II and the Korean War, the holiday’s name was modified to honor all veterans. Greenville’s ceremony, organized by the Pitt County Veterans Council, is scheduled for 11 a.m. Wednesday at the Veterans Memorial at the Town Common. This year’s event will feature three speakers: retired Maj. Gen. Rob Tempel, Army Sgt. Ernie Harrison and Maj. Gen. Todd Hunt. The average Vietnam War veteran is in their mid 70s to early 80s, according to Together We Stand, a military veterans directory. This means there are fewer and fewer veterans each Veterans Day, said Scott Barker, president of the Pitt
