Commented On Another Political Campaign Begins
Mr. Hudson. Thank you for a respectful and pointed critique. This is a comment I can reasonably respond to. I do remember your many remarks you gave in defense of our school and am very grateful for them. My issue arises from what I believe the spirit of many of the comments were, provocative without any plan of action. The issue that I voiced to both members of the school board, the superintendent and those (like me) opposed to closing the was as follows: Why have we let it get to this point? There were rumors about Snowden closing for nearly a decade, we all knew that the standard was dropping and students were leaving, but people did not act until it was too late, and I include myself in the group. A woman at our meeting in Aurora summed it up perfectly, in my opinion, why were we not up in arms sooner? I respect your opinion that I feel below the mark, and I regret to admit you are probably right publicly. However, in private meetings with many people, I asked for any alternatives.

Commented On Another Political Campaign Begins
Sir. As I stated, I am a junior in college, and like many students, I remain a dependent of family. I split my time between my home in Aurora for most of the week and class days in Greenville at school, again as many students do, including Republican State Representative Wyatt Gable and newly elected conservative Greenville city councilman Seth Hardee. I'm also not sure what you mean by a real job. As I said, I worked full-time while attending school, playing sports, and being engaged in my community. I also stated clearly that I did not feel a politically driven stump speech would do people who were angry and grieving any good. You cannot make decisions based on emotion, but on facts alone, and riling up a crowd of people I love and care for would have been counterproductive. It is apparent, sir, that you have no desire to discuss policy or strategy but only degrade me personally. That is disappointing as I think you asked reasonable and genuine questions in your first response. Best.

Commented On Another Political Campaign Begins
Cont. from comment 1: Many in my community have reached out to me and were simply not satisfied with Mr. Hickman's leadership. They felt that this was not an overnight problem and that he did not do enough in his first two years on the board to help prevent the eventual result. Now to my youth. We have seen across the country a passing of the torch and an influx of youth into both parties. This should not be feared but celebrated, especially in the conservative movement. Students have been elected to statewide and municipal offices across the state. I would be the closest removed from Primary and Secondary education on the board, able to understand more closely the struggles that students and teachers alike are dealing with. I think this is a very positive trait to have. In further comments or communications, I can go more in-depth on my views and goals. They are simply too much for this thread. God Bless.

Commented On Drugs, Addiction, Defeat
Your a fool that has the Rx lobby in your pockets, marijuana is not a drug nor is it dangerous, the adults that you speak of didn’t make the decisions to get on heroin ecstasy acid, or any other drug for that matter because of marijuana. Beaufort County has to be the highest amount of idiots that run newspapers, blogs, and most importantly people in office.
Sincerely, a citizen that cares |

If you hand over ALL this information about yourself, you are naive.
Beaufort County is implementing a new emergency alert system. All residents are encouraged to sign up to receive alerts via phone and email: Enter your phone number(s) and email address(es). Provide an address to receive alerts for a specific location. That could be your home address, your workplace, your child's school, a family member's house or another area. |

Commented On Clarion Call with Stan Deatherage; Season 1 - Episode 1 (Discussion of the 45th President)
Reading the forum topics, I was once again convinced that there is no limit to creativity and the desire for comfort. Everyone shares tips, tells you how to cope with difficulties, speed up household processes, and improve the space around you. It is important not to focus on standard schemes, but to look for new approaches to solving familiar tasks, because it is creativity that often leads to unexpected but beneficial results. For example, tips on storage, organization of space, choice of materials and equipment — all this looks like a small mosaic that adds up to a picture of an ideal lifestyle.
But no cozy environment, even with the most modern solutions, will be complete without a reliable water supply. This raises the question of the well, because it is its own water source that often becomes the answer to the challenges of the time, rising tariffs, and interruptions of centralized networks. This is a sustainable solution for those who value stability and care about the fut |

All three had good answers and truthfully getting three existing councils out and replace them with these three candidates will be a positive thing. It’s time out for just holding seats. Don’t vote for people because you know them or because of race but vote for the person that honestly care and wants change for all.

I recorded a Ray Whitley song (called "Let's Try Something New") around 1967 or so with Ray as our producer at the classic "Old Schoolhouse" studio in Brookhaven community where most of the Atlanta recorded hits of the 1960's were recorded (including the Tams hits) I really enjoyed that session and was sad to hear of Ray's passing.

Commented On Tax Fraud, Beaufort County Style
Irrational observer, You are missing the point again. The cause of taxes is spending. We need to elect commissioners who do not spend money or spend it wisely.
The public wants to limit taxes. How many are saying limit services? |

John Valley: Good points, I guess only time will tell on DC's future.
On a little personal note, Dean Cain was my least favorite Superman and his acting skills went so far downhill to the point where he was "CANCELLED" and no-one would or will hire him for any roles, maybe he should have stayed out of politics as all actors should. He said that he left acting to focus on family, but I don't by it! The truth was that he was 99.98% "CANCELLED" because of his political views and statements. Also, Christopher Reeve will always be the best Superman and one last cool fact, Reeve's son makes a guest appearance in the new film, and that is at least one good thing about the new film I suppose. |

Dean Cain doesn't know what he's talking about! I did some quick research to find out that Superman 2025 is already a box office hit. The budget for that film was $350 million and it's already hit $415.1 million worldwide and climbing. So, it did not loss any money at all and everything earned from now on is straight profit!
How to Train your Dragon is doing a lot better with a smaller budget of $150 million and currently at a box office of $592.6 million worldwide which is some damn good profit right there! |

Commented On Washington, N.C., Deserves Better Than This
www.witn.com
"Michael Whatley meets with local officials in Beaufort County. Washington City Councilman Max Perreault said Whatley’s campaign reached out to him to host the meet and greet. A campaign spokesperson for Roy Cooper, Whatley’s Democratic opponent, said in response to the visit: “Roy Cooper is running to deliver lower costs for working families in Beaufort County and across North Carolina.” Perreault and the Beaufort County sheriff also spoke at the breakfast meet and greet event." ========= OH REALLY? Its more likely that Whatley reached out to the Local GOP, who then reached out to their inside man Perreault. Who they may be cultivating as part of their secret committee, useful idiot, and shadow Govt. (There are pictures of participants at the link.) |

Three ENC sites fail this week’s Swim Guide tests
May 29, 2026 By WITN Web Team Those sites were the Washington waterfront and Havens Gardens in Washington on the Tar-Pamlico River and Slocum Creek in Havelock on the Neuse River. Isnt it time for Washington Govt to dazel us with all their expertise?? Surely we pay them enough. Why would anyone want to live here? They tax us to death, while they watch the city slowly rot away. There are not the needed doctors, or even the laborers willing to live here and take jobs keeping our homes up. There is a shortage of everything, except for members of the bureaucratic machine. We thought we were getting a new City Council, but instead got one which was quickly indoctrinated by that bureaucratic machine. Every lawyer in town is part of that machine. A.I wont do anything to humans that these bureaucrats havent already done. "Manage the humans"...ignore them until they become nothing more than bank accounts for the City Machine. |

CT, some power plants in NC use wood waste to generate power.
That means trees that use to be cut for pulp, to make products, now gets burned up to create electricity. They eliminate our forest. I think the plan is to eliminate people, or at least the middleclass off of the coastal lands of the USA. The City of Washington supports this. How about some of you smart people try to study the city webpages and how they report. I see a news and an events link, that show NOTHING upcoming for we the people, tho they announce things on Facebook. |

Commented On Let's Get It Right!
First, let me acknowledge that the roles of County Commissioners and School Board Members are not easy. When done well, these positions require dedication, thoughtful decision-making, and hard work. Thank you to all who serve and help keep the county functioning as smoothly as possible.
That said, there is a quadrant of this county, the third largest of six townships and the fourth most populated, that is the source of the most local income and tax revenue and includes multiple communities and an incorporated town, that is now functioning worse from the decision of the School Board. This area and its school district are now destabilized. The elementary school and the people it served were not considered important enough for elected officials to explore reasonable alternatives before removing the school from an entire township community. Consolidation has been ongoing for over a century. For the first 50 years, and during the 60s and 70s desegregation, it made sense. But as it has become more centralized, it increasingly fails to serve the unique needs of local elementary aged children, especially in remote communities like Aurora when viewed through the lens of child well being. Despite the education and experience among Board Members, the emphasis was less on children than on balancing the county’s overall education budget at the expense of one of its most underserved and remote school populations. Instead of lobbying for more resources to meet the actual needs, the Board chose to close the least visible school. We’re hearing from families now forced to relocate, change jobs, or cancel their plans to move into the area. Others, who just moved here before the closure decision, are scrambling to figure out how to manage their children’s schooling and their family’s stability. Busing small children for long hours each day should have been reason enough to reconsider. But the impact goes beyond logistics; this decision is dismantling a community one family at a time. Had proper impact studies been conducted, as required by state policy, the Board would have likely seen this coming. But for most Board members, this isn’t your district, and these aren’t your families being affected. While I don’t believe the decision was made with malice, I do believe that if this were your children, your school, and your community on the line, you and others would have made a different choice. |
