Martin Co. native to discuss latest book

A Martin County native is coming back home to Williamston to talk about her third book. Leah Weiss, who was born in Williamston, left North Carolina around the age of 10. She spent the rest of her adolescence in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. This will be Weiss’ second time to visit Martin Memorial in recent years to discuss her books. In 2021, she visited to talk about her second book All the Little Hopes, which takes place in a town much like Williamston — the fictional Riverton — during World War II. Weiss said Williamston’s historic German POW camp inspired All the Little Hopes. Wiess considers herself “southern by grace.” “My roots run deep in the flat lands of North Carolina,” she said. Her first book, If the Creek Don’t Rise, set in Appalachia, sold over 100,000 copies. Weiss began writing full-time after retiring from a 24-year career as Executive Assistant to the headmaster at Virginia Episcopal School in 2015, becoming a best-selling author late in life. Ann Phelps, who retired as branch librarian at Martin Memorial in 2023 after 25 years, is now chair of The Friends of Martin Memorial Library. (The Friends of Martin Memorial Library

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

Why DEQ let a Raleigh real estate agent take over a troubled Wayne County hog farm

A Raleigh real estate agent with no hog farming experience bought a Wayne County farm infamous for a massive 2022 waste spill, and it has kept leaking sludge into public waterways. State regulators approved his permit to run the site without a background check and have little power beyond issuing fines, which the owner hasn’t paid. FULL STORY: Why DEQ trusted a Raleigh real estate agent with the site of a massive hog waste spill Here are key takeaways: Wallace Green, a Raleigh real estate agent operating as Biox Renewables — a one-person LLC with no website or office — bought the former White Oak Farms at auction in 2024 despite never having run such an operation. The N.C. Department of Environmental Quality does not perform background checks or require financial disclosures from applicants. Spokesperson Josh Kastrinsky said the only confirmation sought was that Green had a registered LLC. DEQ has fined Biox three times this year — $10,697 in May, $7,347 in August and $5,280 in September — but Green hasn’t paid any of them and insists he’s “in compliance.” He is also over a year behind on required reports.

Raleigh may rename part of New Bern Avenue for first Black mayor. What to know

Advocates in Southeast Raleigh want to rename a stretch of New Bern Avenue after Clarence E. Lightner, the city’s first popularly elected Black mayor. City, state and federal officials met in October to discuss the possibility. FULL STORY: A new name for Raleigh’s New Bern Avenue? City’s first Black mayor could be honored Here are key takeaways: Longtime activist Octavia Rainey is leading the push to honor Lightner on signs from Person Street to WakeMed, a corridor that runs through neighborhoods where he held influence for decades. Lightner served as mayor from 1973-75 and was part of the “Oval Table Gang” that strategized with civil rights pioneers Ralph and June Campbell to end segregation peacefully. He died in 2002. The proposed stretch includes a downtown post office and the Terry Sanford federal building, meaning a name change would affect their addresses. Rainey concedes the process will take time. Raleigh’s four main downtown streets going east, west, north and south were originally named for the towns they led to, including New Bern. The avenue is currently midway through a transformation that will bring North Carolina’s first rapid-transit bus line.

How Cary's spending scandal is already shaping the 2027 mayor's race

The 2027 Cary mayoral race is taking shape unusually early, driven in part by the fallout from Town Hall’s spending controversy . Two former elected officials — former Morrisville Mayor Mark Stohlman and former Apex council member Scott Lassiter — are already campaigning to replace longtime Mayor Harold Weinbrecht, both arguing that Cary’s elected leaders failed to adequately oversee former Town Manager Sean Stegall. Weinbrecht, mayor since 2007, said on his blog in January that he intends to seek reelection. He has not faced a close race since defeating Michelle Muir 58%-41% in 2011. He ran unopposed in 2015 and 2023 and won 84% of the vote in 2019, meaning a three-way contest could become his most competitive reelection campaign in 16 years. Weinbrecht did not respond to an N&O interview request. On his blog, he has said he began questioning Stegall’s spending in fall 2025, contacted Cary’s outside auditor Nov. 14 and supported removing Stegall after staff raised additional concerns. He has also argued that Cary remains financially strong and that most of the roughly $24.2 million in town P-card transactions from Jan. 1, 2024, through Dec. 31, 2025, listed by the state auditor represented routine expenses.
