Warren County Low Income Energy Assistance Program

The Low Income Energy Assistance Program (LIEAP) provides a one-time annual vendor payment to help eligible families pay their heating expense. If you received a LIHEAP payment in 2025-2026 an automatic payment will be generated to that same account this fiscal year. The state will mail notices in November 2026 to each family from the 2025-2026 pre-populated application information. The notice will be sent with instructions to the recipient on how to report changes to the department. The recipient can contact or return the notice with changes to their local DSS office within 10 business days. If the recipient does not contact or report any changes to DSS, the information from the 2025-2026 LIEAP application will be used to approve the household for 2026-2027 benefits. The recipient will be informed that an automated LIEAP payment was given to them. They do not need to apply.

Girl fatally struck while trying to board school bus in southern Nash County

A 14-year-old girl died at a Raleigh hospital after she was struck by a pickup truck in rural southern Nash County while trying to get to an awaiting school bus, the N.C. Highway Patrol said. Raquel Arellanes Banos died on the morning of Nov. 3 at WakeMed a couple of hours after patrol Trooper J.C. Serrano was dispatched to the scene of a single-vehicle collision involving a pedestrian on Bryant Road. Patrol 1st Sgt. Kearstin Howald said in email correspondence that Banos was standing in a private drive off Bryant waiting for the bus driver to pick her up and take her to Southern Nash High. The bus driver had been driving east on Bryant and had stopped at the private drive, with the flashing amber lights having been activated but not the flashing red lights, Howald said. The bus driver stopped, but the driver of a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado, who was driving west on Bryant, struck Banos as she was crossing the street, Howald said. From the impact, Banos was thrown into a ditch, Howald said, and the driver of the pickup pulled to the shoulder. Howald said that no charges are expected in this case. A page on

ECU Health community hospitals show a profit in FY 26

ECU Health’s community hospital system operated at a profit in the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, but officials say there are storm clouds on the horizon that could negatively impact future finances. In a report to the ECU Health Community Hospital Board of Directors on Oct. 27, system leaders reported a $69.9 million operating profit for the year for the eight hospitals operating in Washington, Windsor, Tarboro, Roanoke Rapids, Nags Head, Kenansville, Edenton and Ahoskie. Revenues were ahead of budget expectations by about $28 million. Expenses were also higher than budgeted, but only by about $3.9 million. The difference allowed the hospital to record the operating surplus. System leaders were projecting $43.1 million in operating income, but that number came in at $69.9 million. Dr. Michael Waldrum, CEO of ECU Health and board chair of the community hospitals board of directors, notes that coming changes will have a significant impact on future financial reports. “Ending the fiscal year in a positive light, I think, is important. These numbers are not steady. We see in the front window, the One Big Beautiful Bill and other changes that are going to impact us a great deal,” Waldrum said. He said planned
