In Historical Marker Fight, Edenton Revisits a Painful Era

For years, Lew Powell has wanted the state to force a reckoning and install a historic marker near the former Little Rascals Day Care Center in Edenton. That’s the spot that in 1989 launched a spate of child abuse accusations and prosecutions of seven people who came to be known as the Edenton Seven. The case grabbed headlines in national publications such as the New York Times and Elle magazine. Powell and others who support the Edenton Seven compare their prosecutions to the famed Salem witch hunt hysteria in the late 17th century.

Perquimans OKs $120K study of water system as growth surges

Growing development in Perquimans County has led local officials to take a closer look at whether the county’s water system can keep up. At the Oct. 19 Perquimans County Board of Commissioners meeting, Water Supervisor Nick Lolies asked commissioners to consider hiring the Timmons Group, a Raleigh-based civil engineering firm, to build a $120,000 hydraulic model of the county’s water system. The model would simulate how the county’s water infrastructure could handle new growth and identify ways to address potential problems before they arise. It would also gauge fire flow needs for emergency response. At their Nov. 2 meeting, commissioners approved a letter of agreement for the project, at a cost of up to $120,000. Lolies said the county installed just 35 water taps in 2016, the year he started with the Perquimans County Water Department. The county is now installing five times that many, he said. “In 2020 [we installed] 58 new taps, 86 new taps in 2023-24, 129 new taps last year and right now we’re on pace to install 175 new taps,” Lolies said. About a third of the new taps are at Albemarle Plantation, he said. “The rest are spread out throughout [the] county. [We’re] trying

Unaffiliated voters drive early gains across Albemarle

Nearly 36% of North Carolina voters—roughly 2.8 million people—cast a ballot before early voting ended Saturday, a state record driven largely by unaffiliated voters and Democrats. That figure includes mail-in ballots. In the Albemarle region, the biggest jumps in early ballots came in Perquimans and Chowan counties, according to a comparison with 2022 general election data from the North Carolina State Board of Elections. Perquimans County saw a 30% increase in combined early and mail-in ballots compared with 2022, rising from 2,893 to 3,750. Early voting in Chowan County rose about 22%, from 3,451 to 4,207. “We are surprised with the enthusiasm of the voters,” Perquimans County Elections Director Henry House said in a brief interview Friday, adding that a third of the county had already voted ahead of Saturday’s deadline. Camden and Pasquotank counties also saw higher early turnout, but by smaller margins. Pasquotank ballots increased by about 7%, while Camden turnout grew by 11%. In all four counties, unaffiliated voters cast roughly a third or more of the ballots: 33% in Chowan, 36% in Perquimans and 33% in Pasquotank. Camden was the outlier, with unaffiliated voters casting 48% of its 2,551 ballots. By party, Democrats had the largest
