RANDLEMAN, N.C. (WGHP) — For Joseph Sand, pottery is about more than creating something out of clay.

Dill-icious: How pickle humor grew Mount Olive Pickle sales - Today in History

A daily look at some of The News & Observer’s headlines on Nov. 14 in past years. On this day in 1976, The News & Observer published a story in which Mount Olive Pickle Co. President John Walker described how his company sold pickle-shaped soap, pickle-themed T-shirts and squeaky pickle toys to make people laugh — and increase sales. The business, which formed in 1926, had 25 million jars of pickle products annually across 20 states and made up about two-thirds of pickle sales in Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina. “I don’t think there’s any question that this has helped our sales,” Walker said of the merch. “There’s just something funny about pickles, so we’ve got to make it a plus for us.” Walker’s 1,000 pickle brine tanks and a witty sense of humor helped North Carolina become one of the nation’s largest cucumber producers. At the time, the company had sales of more than $10 million a year. Walker said he delighted in learning that people learned about his town, the brand’s namesake, from his company’s pickles.

WakeMed agreed to cap future price increases in Atrium merger. But who will enforce it?

WakeMed agreed to cap potential price increases in its merger with Atrium Health, but the actual language around those price caps hasn’t been released, leaving the public in the dark about how they could work. One UNC professor says questions remain about how those caps would be enforced and who they would apply to. And Rob Stephens, organizing director at the patient-advocacy group The Patients Union, said how the caps would actually function is unclear. “Patients deserve better than vague promises,” Stephens said in an interview Tuesday. Gov. Josh Stein’s office dropped oppositio n to the merger after securing a commitment to price caps from both nonprofit hospital systems. What do the price caps actually do? According to a Wake County news release, both Atrium and WakeMed agreed “for five years following the closing date, the negotiated reimbursement rate for services provided to patients who are not on Medicaid or Medicare (Part A or C) shall not increase more than 1.5 times the Medicare Payment Update for the service in that fiscal year.” What this means is for five years after the final approval of the merger, WakeMed would tie its prices to what the federal government pays hospitals for
