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

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.

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.

Council moves ahead with Town Common eatery before standing-room-only crowd

The Greenville City Council is taking the next step toward opening a restaurant or cafe on the Town Common, unanimously voting Monday to have staff draft a request for qualifications document to seek designs, financial feasibility and other operational aspects of the project. The vote only came after it was agreed a citizen committee would be established to review the RFQ and applications from private contractors looking to develop the eatery. There were more than 100 people, a standing-room-only crowd, at Monday’s Greenville City Council meeting, the majority being East Carolina University students supporting the Town Common restaurant project. “Town Common is an important gathering place for Greenville, ECU students, family, visitors and residents,” student Sarah Flowers said. “Adding a thoughtfully designed cafe or restaurant could make this park even more welcoming by providing a place for people to meet, enjoy the environment, enjoy the riverfront, visit the playground and attend events at the amphitheater.” An RFQ will allow the city to consider operating proposals while protecting public access, preserving green space and protecting the Town Common, Flowers said. Jill Twark, chairwoman of Friends of the Greenville Greenway, said her organization has previously discussed having pit stops along the greenway
