Normandy official, veterans help RMA bring history to life

For students at Rocky Mount Academy, Veterans Day was more than a lesson from a history book. On Wednesday, it was an opportunity to shake the hands of men and women who wore the nation’s uniform, hear their stories and meet a visitor from Normandy, France, whose life’s work has been dedicated to ensuring the sacrifice of an American soldier from Rocky Mount is never forgotten. Veterans lined the campus roadway Wednesday morning as students and families welcomed them to the academy’s annual Veterans Day celebration. The parade and school being in session on the federal holiday is part of a long and proud tradition for the private school, staff and students. And the celebration was a campuswide event that incorporated the participation of the entire school. The program honored veterans from every branch of military service while emphasizing the values of duty, sacrifice and citizenship that educators hope students will carry into their own lives. “We teach history in our classrooms,” Head of School Beth Covolo told attendees. “But you, our veterans, lived it.” The ceremony’s special guest was Jean-Vincent du Lac de Fugeres, a Normandy native and elected official there whose connection to eastern North Carolina stretches back

Wilber’s Barbecue In Goldsboro Has Been Feeding Eastern North Carolina Whole-Hog Fans Since 1962

Some barbecue joints talk about tradition, and then there is a Goldsboro pit house that still moves hot oak coals by hand, one shovel at a time. It opened in 1962, went quiet in 2019, and came back because local folks refused to let a piece of Eastern North Carolina history fade away.

City Planning Board approves rezoning request by Buc-ee’s

The Rocky Mount Planning Board earlier this week unanimously approved a request to rezone land so that the Buc-ee’s chain of travel centers can build a new location off the Interstate 95 interchange for Gold Rock. “We can talk about it if you want to, but I mean it’s a no-brainer,” Planning Board member James Tharin said moments before making a motion to recommend the rezoning request to the City Council. Tharin said that Buc-ee’s request can be considered consistent with the city’s Together Tomorrow: Tier I Smart Growth Comprehensive Plan, that Buc-ee’s request is reasonable and that Buc-ee’s request is in the public interest. Planning Board member Theresa Alston Stokes seconded Tharin’s motion. The Planning Board met Tuesday evening. No one spoke against the recommendation moments before the unanimous vote. Scott Ratcliff, who is director of engineering for Buc-ee’s, said after the meeting that he and the rest of the Buc-ee’s team are elated. “We want to be in Rocky Mount — and we’re excited to have a community that’s welcoming us and looking forward to working with them,” Ratcliff said. Buc-ee’s has stated that the chain is under contract to purchase about 34 acres on the southeast side

New judge Sutton promises to balance duty with public care

Pitt County’s newest judge said that she is grateful to voters for entrusting her with the responsibility of the bench and that her intention going forward is to balance legal duty with public care. “The law functions to serve the people. It seems to me in our current political climate, perhaps there has been a neglect of serving people,” said Democrat Watisi Sutton, who unseated two-term Republican judge Daniel Hines Entzminger in the Nov. 3 midterm election 34,518 to 28,305 votes. The total includes provisional and absentee ballots counted Tuesday, but not change from Friday’s canvass. She will serve a four-year term as one of six judges on the District Court bench in Pitt County, which makes up the state 3rd Judicial District. She brings 26 years of legal experience to the post, with her experiences spanning prosecution, public defense, civil aid and municipal government, she said. Sutton’s career includes work as an assistant district attorney in the 2nd Judicial District, managing attorney for Legal Aid’s New Bern office, a town attorney for Williamston and 16 years in a private practice in her hometown of Washington. Within her private practice, Sutton handled criminal defense, family law, civil matters, bankruptcy and
