Ride Into The Old West At One Of North Carolina’s Most Overlooked Restaurant

There’s a place in Williamston, North Carolina where the frontier spirit didn’t just survive, it set up a full dining room and started serving char-broiled steaks. Deadwood is one of those discoveries that makes you feel genuinely lucky, the kind of place that exists in the space between what you expected and what you actually got, and the gap between those two things is enormous.

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.

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,

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

Williamston man wins $1 million top prize from $10 lottery ticket

A Williamston man won a $1 million top prize on Oct. 30 after purchasing a $10 scratch-off from Williamston Family Fare on West Main Street. Mark Sanderson, 54, of Williamston, arrived at lottery headquarters Thursday to claim his prize, a media release said. Sanderson was given a decision on how to receive his prize; as an annuity of $50,000 over 20 years or a lump sum of $600,000. He chose the latter, and after required tax withholdings, he took home $432,063. Sanderson’s win comes after the “50X The Cash” game debuted in January, including 12 top prizes of $1 million, with nine still remaining to be claimed. Additionally, Martin County received a $62 million grant funded by the lottery to build a new high school in 2024, which is expected to be open by 2028.

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

Pilot program could help Edenton recycle glass

The town of Edenton’s curbside recycling program has a big hole in it that the Mayor’s Task Force on the Environment wants to plug — waste glass. A local pilot project is already turning discarded bottles into drinking glasses, decorative “sea glass” pebbles and garden stepping stones. On Nov. 9, task force co-chair Susan Inglis told residents how the program could offer Edenton another way to recycle glass. Inglis said residents need ways to recycle glass, which is not accepted by the current recycling program. She cited a pilot program she helped start at the Peanut Factory, an arts residency program on Badham Road in Edenton. That recycling effort demonstrates ways that glass, an extremely durable material, might be diverted from the waste stream. But first, she discussed some of the challenges that most glass recycling programs face. The economics and mechanics of collecting glass present problems for municipal systems. Most conventional recycling programs require glass to be separated by color — clear, brown and green. It is also bulky and can be dangerous to handle when broken. The result, she said, is that communities must find practical alternatives to keep discarded glass out of the waste stream. At the
