New judge Sutton promises to balance duty with public care

Pitt County’s newest judge said that she is grateful to voters for entrusting her with the responsibility of the bench and that her intention going forward is to balance legal duty with public care. “The law functions to serve the people. It seems to me in our current political climate, perhaps there has been a neglect of serving people,” said Democrat Watisi Sutton, who unseated two-term Republican judge Daniel Hines Entzminger in the Nov. 3 midterm election 34,518 to 28,305 votes. The total includes provisional and absentee ballots counted Tuesday, but not change from Friday’s canvass. She will serve a four-year term as one of six judges on the District Court bench in Pitt County, which makes up the state 3rd Judicial District. She brings 26 years of legal experience to the post, with her experiences spanning prosecution, public defense, civil aid and municipal government, she said. Sutton’s career includes work as an assistant district attorney in the 2nd Judicial District, managing attorney for Legal Aid’s New Bern office, a town attorney for Williamston and 16 years in a private practice in her hometown of Washington. Within her private practice, Sutton handled criminal defense, family law, civil matters, bankruptcy and

Second Wawa in city to open in three weeks

A second Wawa convenience store in Rocky Mount is slated to begin serving customers in less than a month. The doors are set to be opened at 8 a.m. Dec. 3 at the North Winstead Avenue and Curtis Ellis Drive intersection, according to Alyson Mucha, a public relations representative with the Wawa chain. Mucha said in a Monday afternoon email that the store opening is going to be followed by a ceremony at 11 a.m. And Mucha said that the chain is finalizing some elements of the opening and is going to provide an alert with more details in the next few weeks. The future second Wawa is just southwest of the North Winstead interchange with the busy U.S. 64 and roughly a couple of miles from the U.S. 64 interchange with the Interstate 95 Maine-to-Miami corridor.

Rocky Mount Mayor Sandy Roberson said after Monday night’s City Council meeting that he believes Wawa constructing the second future location in the city has generated much interest. “And I am looking forward to their opening,” Roberson said. “It’s moving along nicely,” he said of

Normandy official, veterans help RMA bring history to life

For students at Rocky Mount Academy, Veterans Day was more than a lesson from a history book. On Wednesday, it was an opportunity to shake the hands of men and women who wore the nation’s uniform, hear their stories and meet a visitor from Normandy, France, whose life’s work has been dedicated to ensuring the sacrifice of an American soldier from Rocky Mount is never forgotten. Veterans lined the campus roadway Wednesday morning as students and families welcomed them to the academy’s annual Veterans Day celebration. The parade and school being in session on the federal holiday is part of a long and proud tradition for the private school, staff and students. And the celebration was a campuswide event that incorporated the participation of the entire school. The program honored veterans from every branch of military service while emphasizing the values of duty, sacrifice and citizenship that educators hope students will carry into their own lives. “We teach history in our classrooms,” Head of School Beth Covolo told attendees. “But you, our veterans, lived it.” The ceremony’s special guest was Jean-Vincent du Lac de Fugeres, a Normandy native and elected official there whose connection to eastern North Carolina stretches back
