Two things:

1. In a political sense they are all young, and will need some help in managing themselves as public servants, so listening to the more knowledgeable people is most important.

2. My bionic hip is doing great! I was released from PT early due to the success of my consistent, though limited, exercise regime. It appears that I am a minor success story in recovery.

But, but Stan you like everybody.
And... are they really young or just young compared to you?

The only people I consider young are those still under 30. And, if they are over 30...well you know what they say, "Dont trust anyone over 30."

Of course I'll be voting for you Stan, bad hip and all.

Two things here Washingtonian:

1. These are young candidates, some are younger than others; some are wiser than others. Now here is my one immediate concern: I am very interested, going forward, which of these elected people, here in Beaufort County, will listen to me; all because of just this one reality - I know more, and will know more about how to best govern in their respective offices than they do now, and for some time to come; and, these young elected people need to have the initial wisdom to recognize that truth immediately.

2. Washington: When you vote for me in the 2026 election for Beaufort County Commissioner, you have my promise that I will act in a manner to achieve what I believe to be absolutely best, on all big issues here in Beaufort County, and I will explain why I did so here on ENC NOW.

Stan, seems we are at that point again in local elections where we must choose...NOT the best candidate, but the lessor or the evils.

Seems that they don't want to work for our vote. When a candidate ignores you while they are a candidate, they damn sure will ignore you once elected.

All City Council candidates that were non incumbents were invited twice. The first go-round we had three; the second go-round we felt that we did not have enough interest to do the second show, which made rethink small elections like the City of Washington, which is small in number of voters and small in the real size and necessity of that government.

Having said all of this, that one segment has had many thousands of views, so, it should be a benefit to the first participants.

As a politician for so many winning elections, I never missed, and will never the opportunity to speak before any group of people, especially opportunities within a medium with as many ears and eyes as encnow.com provides.

Stan, are you saying that NONE of the other City Council candidates want to come on Table Talk and do an interview??

As of October 21, 2025, these are the three candidates that were interested enough to speak to our readership about their candidacy. This Table Talk post was originally published on September 7, 2025.

Befuddled: In recent years, I was in a huge room of recently elected, and re-elected North Carolina county commissioners, where the subject was what is a county commissioner's most valuable asset(?), with that answer supplied by the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners being your "county government employees."

Accordingly, as one of the more experienced county commissioners in that session of over 250 commissioners and other county executives, I took great umbrage with that aforementioned assessment of what was most the important of all of county commissioners' most valuable assets, by reminding everyone in that big room that: "My constituents are by far my most valuable asset, and I suggest that you should consider the same."

I then received a big round of applause from that even bigger room. Many of these young county commissioners were registered Republicans. I know that because I held audience with many of these commissioners in favor of my assessment after that session.

Latest The Studio

In this Table Talk segment, the speakers discuss major issues facing Beaufort County, North Carolina. They describe the county as large and geographically divided by major waterways, with about 50,000 residents spread across roughly 1,000 square miles.
Stan Deatherage and Dave Hudson of Table Talk discuss the fundamentals of American civics, emphasizing that as a self-governed people, citizens must understand both their responsibilities as voters and the responsibilities of their elected representatives.
Stan and Dave opened the discussion by addressing the growing trend of protesters physically interfering with ICE officers performing their duties. Stan described scenes from Canal Street in New York City; an area in lower Manhattan near Chinatown; where illegal immigrants have been selling cou...
Don Brown grew up in Plymouth, North Carolina, in Washington County. He spent his youth fishing in the Albemarle and Pamlico Sounds with his grandfather, including net fishing for herring.
Dave Hudson led most of the questioning to avoid bias, as Deatherage openly supports Jarvis. Nothing was prearranged, and both candidates answered spontaneously.
The wide-ranging conversation covered local government spending, tax policy, education, economic development, immigration, and the role of elected officials in providing oversight of the bureaucratic class.
Rather than focusing on local Beaufort County politics, the conversation centers on how America is navigating an increasingly complex and dangerous world stage.
Host Stan Deatherage welcomes Washington City Councilmen Nick Fritz and Max Perreault to discuss how they plan to reform local government in the city of Washington.
Memorial Day is a time when we as a nation pause to remember and honor the sacrifice of the men and women who gave their lives in the service of our nation.
