Bertie County Animal Shelter reopens to rave reviews

It is a cliché at this point: When one door closes, another one opens. So goes the story of the Bertie County Animal Shelter. The complaints, controversy and consternation brought on by the condition of the former Bertie County Animal Shelter have come to a close with the opening of the county’s new animal shelter. Officially opened on Friday, Oct. 30, and christened with a highly anticipated ribbon cutting, the new shelter, with a hefty roadside sign, looks welcoming. Inside, the shelter hadn’t been used and each of the 16 rooms, complete with an exit door to an outdoor kennel, would seem comfortable to a dog whether strayed or not. A bright blue sky was the perfect backdrop for Bertie Manager Juan Vaughan to welcome guests and offer a new outlook for Bertie County and its animals. “I am honored and very grateful to stand before you today as the county manager. Before we kick things off, I wanna make sure everyone is in the right place,” explained Vaughan. “If you intended to come to one of the most beautiful places in North Carolina, I want you to know, you’re in the right place. If you intended to come celebrate

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

Jenkins: Health department treats generations

Martin-Tyrrell-Washington District Health Department’s Human Services Deputy Director Latonya Jenkins did not always know what she wanted to do for a career. When she figured it out, she poured her heart and soul into nursing. Jenkins grew up in the Indian Woods area of Bertie County, then moved to Martin County when she was 12. Upon graduation, she spent a semester at East Carolina University. “I did not do well at all,” she confessed. “My Mama [Shelia Roberson] got tired of me messing around. She threatened, ‘You are either going to Perdue [to work], or you are going to school.’” That was her wakeup call. “I got my booty in school. But I wasn’t sure what I was going for,” she added. Her stepfather, Elder Linvert Roberson (now deceased), whom she called her “Bonus Dad,” suggested nursing. “That is how it all started,” she said. At Beaufort Community College, the counselor encouraged her to go beyond her basic LPN — Licensed Practical Nurse. “When I told her I just wanted to do LPN, she told me, ‘No, I’m setting you up for RN [registered nurse].’” Jenkins received her associate’s degree in nursing (ADN) in 2000. “My first nursing job was

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

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.
