Council tables costly firefighter schedule change

A growing trend among regional fire departments to shorten firefighters’ workweeks by restructuring shifts has Elizabeth City Fire Chief Chris Carver concerned. Fire departments in Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Greenville and other area cities have moved to a 24/72 schedule, or 24 hours on duty followed by 72 hours off, according to Carver. The change would reduce the average firefighter’s workweek from 56 hours to 42 by moving from three shifts to four. If Elizabeth City doesn’t adopt a similar schedule, Carver worries a department already struggling with recruitment and retention could lose more firefighters over time. Making the switch, however, would take several years and cost the city more than $1 million. Several Elizabeth City Council members said that money may not be available, given the city is also considering a new $12 million fire station. Carver pitched the plan to the council during an Oct. 26 work session. He acknowledged it was a “big ask” but said a number of firefighters had asked him to bring it to the city for preliminary consideration. “My guys asked me to bring this to your attention,” he said. “Their concern, along with mine, is recruitment and retention. It’s already hard out there

Voters return Corprew, Nelson, Ward; approve ABC store, mixed drinks

All three Republican county commissioners whose seats were on the ballot won new terms Tuesday, according to unofficial results. Tim Corprew led the field with 2,326 votes, or 52% of the 4,452 votes cast. Wallace Nelson received 1,104 votes (25%), and James Ward received 1,022 (23%). Corprew collected 1,474 of his votes during early voting, which ran from Oct. 15 to Oct. 31. Nelson received 746 early votes, and Ward received 642. In other races, Sheriff Shelby White was reelected without opposition to another four-year term. White ran as a Democrat in 2018, when he defeated Republican Jim Bray, and again in 2022. He has since switched parties and ran as a Republican on Tuesday. Clerk of Superior Court Todd Tilley also ran unopposed for another four-year term. Tilley ran unopposed as a Democrat in 2018 and 2022 before running as a Republican this year. Voters also overwhelmingly approved two local referendums.

The second allows the sale of mixed drinks, or liquor by the drink, at restaurants, private clubs and other qualified

Mill Village Museum closes temporarily, seeks new home

EDENTON — The only museum dedicated to the history of Edenton’s working class has closed — but may reopen if organizers can find a new location for it. The Mill Village Museum, which documents the lives of Edenton’s first factory workers, closed Oct. 10. The museum, housed in the former Edenton Cotton Mill building, closed after the owners of the building sent a letter saying they needed to reclaim the space, said Beth Taylor, who is working to relocate the museum. Taylor said the owners announced their decision by mail. There were no negotiations to keep the museum at its current location. Taylor said the closure was not because the Mill Village Museum Association was facing financial difficulties. The museums collection of photographs, exhibits and historical artifacts has been placed in storage. “The museum items are stored in a very safe storage building,” Taylor said in response to questions from the Chowan Herald. The museum’s announcement said the closure was temporary, but there is no timetable for reopening. Taylor said no suitable replacement building has been located yet. “The museum will be reopened in another building whenever we can locate another building,” Taylor said. The museum documented the preservation of
