Beulaville town manager to retire

BEULAVILLE — Town Manager Lori Williams announced her retirement during the Beulaville Board of Commissioners meeting on Monday, Nov. 2. Subsequently, the board voted to advertise for her position as quickly as possible, although Williams said her last day is not until June 30. She has worked for the town for 30 years, starting as a utility clerk, and over the years has held several other positions, including tax collector, town clerk/finance officer, interim town manager, and her latest role of town manager. “Right now I don’t have any big plans,” she said. “I have mixed feelings about it because I had been here that many years. It’s going to be a big adjustment, but I think it’s time.” Those interested in applying for the position can contact Town Hall for more details. The position has also been advertised on the town of Beulaville's Facebook page. “Anyone who knows Lori knows how much she loves this town. For more than 30 years, from her early roles to serving as town manager, she has never treated it as just a job,” said Mayor Hutch Jones. “She cares about Beulaville and the people in it, and she has given this town her

Growing pains: Inside the school being built to keep up with North Carolina’s coastal boom

HAMPSTEAD, N.C. — The construction cranes rising off U.S. 17 tell the story before anyone says a word: Pender County is growing, and it is growing fast. According to 2025 U.S. Census data, Pender County is the fourth-fastest growing county in North Carolina with nearby Brunswick County ranked first. Both are drawing people relocating from across the state, many of whom choose the coast for more space and lower costs while commuting to Wilmington or Jacksonville for work, according to county officials.

Warsaw native named Veterans Day Parade grand marshal

WARSAW — Perhaps it’s fitting that a Warsaw native and graduate of James Kenan High School, who served decades in the Coast Guard and Coast Guard Reserves, and curated the Duplin County Veterans Museum, would be named the grand marshal of the 106th Veterans Day Parade, the longest running Veterans Day celebration in the United States, and the pride of his hometown. “I lived in Warsaw all my life, except for my military time,” Earl Rouse said. “I graduated [James Kenan] in ‘64. I went to work for Quinn Wholesale for a year, and then decided I knew everything. I went out to get a bigger paying job, a more important job, and after I’d interviewed that morning, I came back to the house and opened the mailbox. There was a selective service notice.” From then on, you could say, Rouse’s fate was sealed. He decided to go to the U.S. Armed Forces recruiting office in Morehead City, and found that only a Coast Guard recruiter was in the office at the time. That recruiter took him and his friend to lunch. “We got back and I said, ‘I do,’” Rouse recalled. “That was that.” Since the Vietnam War was

Heavy early voting gave Democratic incumbent state Sen. Kandie Smith a healthy early lead according to unofficial totals released by the N.C. Board of Elections, and she did not relinquish any of it as today's Election Day ballots were counted.

"I’m grateful for the confidence of the people of Pitt and Edgecombe counties showed in me. I think they want me to continue to vote for the things that are important for them and to continue to fight for the things that are important to them, Smith said Tuesday night when reached at her legislative office. Smith said constituent services and consistency both played an important role in her re-election. "I don’t there were really one or two issues that drove the vote. I think there was consistency. When they see you’re working and they see your consistency and you’re accessible and that you're willing to try to help people solve problems, I think they
