County to offer free pet vaccination clinic Saturday

Nash County Animal Services will hold a free pet vaccination clinic on Nov. 14, providing no-cost preventive care for dogs and cats through a partnership with Petco Love’s national Vaccinated and Loved initiative. The clinic will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Nash County Pet Connection Center, located at 3600 Eastern Ave. in Rocky Mount. Organizers plan to vaccinate up to 125 dogs and 125 cats. The event is part of Petco Love’s nationwide effort to reduce the spread of preventable diseases by providing free vaccines through local animal welfare organizations. Since launching the Vaccinated and Loved campaign in 2021, Petco Love has distributed more than 4 million free pet vaccines nationwide. At the Nash County clinic, dogs will receive free DAPPv canine vaccines, which protect against several serious canine diseases while cats will receive free HCP feline vaccines. Nash County Animal Services also will provide free rabies vaccinations. Ashley Howell, director of Nash County Animal Services, said the partnership helps remove barriers that might prevent some pet owners from accessing routine veterinary care. “Through our partnership with Petco Love, Nash County Animal Services can provide essential vaccines directly to pet parents at no cost,” Howell

From campaign trail to the courthouse: Blount defeats longtime incumbent

After a closely watched race for one of the county's more important judicial administrative positions, Nancy Blount has been elected Nash County Clerk of Superior Court. Blount defeated incumbent Linda Thorne with 21,573 votes, or 53.24 percent of the vote, compared with Thorne's 18,950 votes, or 46.76 percent, according to unofficial vote tallies. The result marks a transition in leadership for an office that serves as the public's primary point of contact with the court system. The Clerk of Superior Court's office oversees a wide range of responsibilities, including court records, estate proceedings, guardianships, special proceedings, jury administration and numerous other functions that support both District and Superior Court operations. For many residents, the clerk's office becomes part of their lives during significant moments, whether settling the affairs of a loved one, serving on a jury or navigating a legal matter. With the election behind her, Blount now turns her attention to preparing for the transition into office and the responsibilities that come with it. Supporters say Blount's campaign resonated with voters who were looking for both experience and a commitment to responsive public service. Throughout the campaign, she emphasized the importance of accountability, accessibility and maintaining public confidence in

In Conetoe, leaders call for relief as costs rise across region

On a beautiful afternoon in rural Edgecombe County, a crowd gathered under the late‑season sun to hear a message that has become impossible to ignore across eastern North Carolina: Families are hurting, and area leaders say the state must do more. The event last month brought together Gov. Josh Stein; N.C. Rep. Dante Pittman, D-24th District; N.C. Sen. Kandie Smith, D-5th District; Democratic N.C. Rep.-elect Lorenza Wilkins, who will represent the 25th District; and others, each offering a different vantage point on the same reality. Rising costs are squeezing households, small businesses and congregations alike. Speakers advocated for more than temporary political gestures to meet the moment. Jess Rivera, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and small business owner, opened the event with a message shaped by months of listening sessions across Greene, Wayne, and Wilson counties. Rivera, a Democrat, ousted incumbent N.C. Sen. Buck Newton, R-4th District, in Tuesday’s midterm election, riding a blue wave to victory that also resulted in Republicans losing majority control of the N.C. House. “Everything, and I mean everything, is more expensive,” Rivera said. “Food, gas, the coffee I drank this morning, utilities, healthcare costs — it’s all too much.” Rivera, describing the pressure on
