Our reporters published hundreds of news articles this year. Though hard work and attention to detail was put into each article, there were some stories that stood out among the rest. Our reporters combed through news articles from 2024 and selected the stories that had Beaufort County buzzing. The result is a list of stories which captured historic moments in the county’s history and in the process further demonstrated our reporters’ unwavering commitment to inform and educate citizens. Listed below are the articles our reporters selected as the top stories from 2024. Man with homemade explosives, meth found in Food Lion parking lot In January, a detective with Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office uncovered homemade explosives and meth in a vehicle with Cameron Lee Smith, 40, of Washington. Smith was parked in the Food Lion parking lot at Washington Corners Shopping Center off John Small Avenue. In a press release days after the discovery, Sheriff Scott Hammonds said the department was working to determine if Smith was a “radical or hobbyist.” Hammonds stated there was no threat to the public. Hackney Executive Chef named semi-finalist, then finalist for James Beard award Executive Chef Jamie Davis at the Hackney Restaurant and Gin Distillery was named a semi-finalist then finalist for Best Chef Southeast by the James Beard Foundation. A James Beard award is the most prestigious award a chef and/or restaurant can receive in the United States. Davis said it was a great honor to be recognized by the James Beard Foundation and hopes his award will draw more attention to the hard work of similar chefs in eastern North Carolina. Agape announces plans to open a health clinic in Aurora Agape Health Services announced in January their plans to open a health clinic in Aurora. The news was released one year after ECU Health closed the sole health clinic in that area. Agape continues to work to acquire grants to renovate a 4,700 sq. ft. facility that will provide preventative medical services, dental services and a pharmacy in addition to behavioral services to vulnerable populations who will pay using a sliding scale. Vehicle, human remains recovered from Jack’s Creek linked to missing person case In early February, human remains and pieces of a 1970s Chevrolet Camaro were recovered from Jack’s Creek. The human remains belonged to William Clifton, David McMicken and Michael Norman, all of Washington. The three men went missing in December of 1982 after leaving a bar one night in Chocowinity. It is believed they ran off the road and crashed into Jack’s Creek. ReAnne Clifton Mayo, William’s daughter, contacted a man from South Carolina who uses sonar technology to find submerged vehicles. Together, they located the Camaro. A multitude of organizations were involved in the process of draining a portion of Jack’s Creek where the vehicle was submerged. Beaufort County Schools award $42 million grant from NC DPI for new school Beaufort County Schools was awarded a $42 million grant from North Carolina Department of Public Instruction to build a new elementary school. The new school, Washington Elementary School, will combine Eastern Elementary and John Cotten Tayloe to create a modern campus that is safer for students. Currently, Eastern Elementary students have to walk outside to different buildings or pods for instruction. This layout was designed in the 1960s when the school was constructed. The Beaufort County Board of Commissioners approved $10 million in funds to go toward the construction of Washington Elementary. Previous State Superintendent Catherine Truitt visited Beaufort County in February to deliver the check. Beaufort County Economic Development Director dies In May, Brad Hufford, Beaufort County’s Economic Development Director died. He was 46. He was hired in April of 2022 following the retirement of Marty Johnson. Hufford was an East Carolina University alum, earning a bachelor’s degree in History and Political Science and a master’s degree in Public Administration with a concentration in economic development. Hufford was previously the Vice President of Business Development for the Greenville ENC Alliance and worked in Washington as part of an N.C. Commerce Department eastern outreach program inside Carryout by Chrislyn on 2nd Street. Bethany Methodist Church survives attempted arson On May 15, an unknown person entered Bethany Methodist Church in the night. They poured an accelerant from the altar to the front doors then lit a match, congregants allege. The next morning, when a church member opened the sanctuary doors a plume of smoke covered their face. Immediately, fire crews were called and responded. The church with its hardwood floors covering 170-year-old plank floors did not burn to the ground. The sanctuary’s red, flame-retardant carpet saved it. At this time, Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office has neither named a suspect nor made an arrest. Washington High School senior prank goes to the extreme On May 29, 47 Washington High School students entered the school with a key. They vandalized hallways, classrooms and the cafeteria. Beaufort County Schools confirmed that “significant damage” was done to school property. There were “broken cafeteria tables, writing on the hallway walls and windows, paint and trophy areas damaged by raw eggs.” Chocowinity’s Interim Town Clerk terminated, investigated for embezzlement Lauren Hoggard, the interim town clerk for the Town of Chocowinity, was terminated on Aug. 21. One month before her termination, the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation received a request on July 26 from the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office and the District Attorney’s office to investigate allegations of embezzlement that involved Hoggard. Hoggard replaced former Town Clerk Joy McRoy who was terminated in August in 2022 on allegations of embezzlement. Hoggard has since been replaced by interim Town Clerk Michelle Peele. Two Beaufort County students die nine days apart Two female public school students died nine days apart in October. Nariyah I. Gibbs, 11, of Washington and a student at P.S. Jones Middle School died on Oct. 3. Nakyra N. Weston, 10, of Belhaven and a student at Northeast Elementary died on Oct. 12. Paradise Funeral Home, Inc., confirmed. Their deaths were not connected. The official cause of death in both cases will be determined by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Greenville. Chief Phil Rollinson of Washington Police Department and Chief Wesley Waters of Belhaven Police Department say it could take at least six months for the office to release its findings. Special use permit for new men’s shelter denied On Dec. 13, the Washington Board of Adjustments denied the request for a special use permit to locate a new men’s shelter and kitchen adjacent to Kingdom Distributors at the intersection of E. 4th and McNair Streets. The request was denied for two reasons: The proposed use will not adversely affect the health and safety of residents and workers in the city. The proposed use will be compatible with existing uses that are adjacent to or neighboring the proposed location, as measured in terms of its physical size, intensity of use, visual impact, and proximity to other structures. Reverend James Moore, executive director of Metropolitan Housing and CDC, along with his brother Joseph Moore, executive director of Metropolitan Property Management, and project manager Darwin Woolard are working to appeal the decision.

The Social Weather Stations (SWS) Christmas Eve report—Fourth Quarter 2024 Social Weather Survey: 65 percent of adult Filipinos expect a happy Christmas, down from 73 percent in 2023 (www.sws.org.ph, 12/24/24)—is, unfortunately, not too merry and bright. Seen in line with 21 earlier surveys, the new percentages of 65 happy, 10 sad, and 26 neither happy nor sad, based on Dec. 12 to 18 fieldwork, are disappointing. Holiday expectations of Filipinos have been much more cheerful before. (The full time-series is in the new release.) The new round is the 22nd SWS survey on Christmas cheer since 2002. The very first SWS national survey on holiday expectations was fielded 22 years ago, from Nov. 15 to Dec. 2, 2002. (Counting the starting year and the ending year, the new one should have been the 23rd survey, but the 2018 round was inadvertently skipped.) In 2002, 82 percent expected their Christmas (ang inyong Pasko) to be happy (masaya), only 3 percent said it would be sad (malungkot), and 15 percent said it would be neither happy nor sad. That year has turned out to be the most joyful year in the entire survey series, so far, but no one could have known that. The pioneering 2002 survey also probed into respondents’ Christmas the previous year (2001), with 83 percent recalling that it was happy, 5 percent saying it was sad, and 11 percent saying it was neither happy nor sad (SWS 4th Quarter 2002 survey: Filipinos are happy with Christmas 2002, thankful for good health, and hopeful about 2003, www.sws.org.ph, 12/20/2002). Subtracting ”sad” from ”happy” gives ”net happy” of +78 for recalled Christmas 2001, and +79 for Christmas 2002. The SWS decided to do the holiday survey annually. In the survey anticipating Christmas 2003, the expectation percentages were 77 happy, 4 sad, and 20 neither happy nor sad, giving a ”net happy” of +73, a few points less. In 2004-2013, the happy Christmas percentages were all in the 60s. In the next 10 years, the happy percentage ranged between 62 (2005, 2006, 2013) and 69 (2010). Clearly, there was a comedown in holiday spirit from 2002-2003. Since it lasted a whole decade, it seemed normal, while the earlier years seemed special. Then, in 2014-2019, the happy Christmas percentages were in the 70s again. They rose steadily from 71 in 2014 to 79 in 2019—nice numbers, lasting half a decade and approaching the initial rate of 82. But then came the pandemic in 2020. SWS reported on Christmas Eve: Fourth Quarter 2020 Social Weather Survey: Record-low 50 percent of adult Filipinos expect a happy Christmas (www.sws.org.ph, 12/24/20). Those expecting a sad Christmas were a record-high of 15 percent, giving a small ”net happy” of only +35. The following year, 2021, the percentage ”happy” rebounded to 65; with ”sad” at 8, the ”net happy” recovered to +57. The happy rate recovered further to 73 in 2022 (net +66), was again 73 in 2023 (net +67), and gave me hope for full recovery to the 2019 pre-pandemic holiday spirit soon. So, I am disappointed that: (1) the 2024 happy-Christmas percentage has flopped back to 65, where it was in 2021, the first post-pandemic year; and (2) the 2024 sad—Christmas percentage is now 10—only the fourth time in double-digits in the entire series—from 6 last year, bringing ”net happy” to +55, or below the +57 of 2021. I wonder if the shortage of holiday cheer is related to other problems (see my “Backsliding in hunger,” 10/26/24; and “Self-Rated poverty stays high,” 10/12/24). This bears study when the final 2024 hunger and poverty data come in. Christmas cheer varies by location and schooling. The 2024 percentages expecting a happy Christmas are 58 in the National Capital Region (NCR), 59 in Balance Luzon, 71 in the Visayas, and 73 in Mindanao, which is a common pattern. In the 22 surveys of 2002-2024, the lowest happy rate has been in NCR 20 times; the highest percentage has been in Mindanao 13 times, and in Visayas nine times. Compared to 2023, the percentage expecting a happy Christmas had large drops in NCR and Balance Luzon, and a medium-sized drop in Visayas, but virtually no change in Mindanao. The 2024 happy-Christmas rate is consistently related to schooling (a proxy for social class): only 57 among elementary dropouts, rising to 70 among college graduates. But its fall since 2023 is similar for all schooling classes. My hunches about the 2024 weakness in Christmas cheer: inflation has not been lowered enough, workers’ wages have not risen enough, and cash transfers have not been large enough and/or targeted well enough.

With Christmas party season in full swing, we all want a glowing complexion to match the glowing stars and Christmas lights! Here, skincare expert Valerie Osborne explains her top facial to achieve a beautiful pre-Christmas complexion and which other in-clinic treatments will brighten up your skin. There are more advanced treatments available in-salon, but getting the basics right first is key. “I will only do those treatments when people have their antioxidant, SPF and retinol routine in place," says Valerie. SPF is particularly important as sun-damaged skin is more sensitive. “Doing a peel or a laser treatment could open up their skin to more damage. With any of these treatments, you are turning over skin cells and bringing new skin cells to the surface. If you are not using a good SPF and antioxidant every day, you are opening up those new skin cells to damage because you don’t have the basics right.” Read more: Dermatologist explains which aesthetic treatment is unnecessary for most people under 30 Read more: I swear by this cream to stop my hands cracking in the cold weather It’s important to note that most treatments take time to work, so people should give their skin a few weeks to reap the benefits of any lasers or light treatments they get done. The BBL and MOXI combination is a very popular treatment at the moment, mainly because it targets a whole range of concerns. BBL, or Broadband Light, uses advanced infrared light technology to treat skin imperfections and reverse the signs of ageing. This treatment can help to break down pigmentation, sun damage, broken veins, fine lines, or redness, with the skin shedding and pigmentation lifting for up to two weeks afterwards. “Usually, a series of three treatments spaced four weeks apart is recommended,” Valerie says. MOXI is a non-ablative laser treatment with minimal downtime which can address early signs of ageing, uneven texture and pigmentation. “It stimulates collagen production so the skin is rejuvenated. You get a lovely glow about two weeks after the treatment, but it takes three months for that collagen to embed in.” Texture, tone and congestion can be treated with peels and microneedling. “We do microneedling with exosomes. Microneedling produces collagen stimulation and while those channels are open, we add exosomes which are full of peptides which strengthen the skin.” Radiofrequency, which firms the skin , can also be added to microneedling. In terms of injectables, Valerie says anti-wrinkle injections remain popular, with polynucleotides gaining traction. “PRP and Profhilo have almost taken over from fillers.” Before receiving any of these treatments, people should avoid alcohol, caffeine, anti-inflammatories and antihistamines. “Don’t take painkillers, disprin and ibuprofen can thin the blood and accelerate bruising. Avoid gymming, swimming and hot places like saunas. Don’t use retinol for a couple of nights beforehand, and avoid taking a sun holiday after treatments. The same rules would apply to laser treatments.”TSB investigating rough plane landing in Halifax, passenger says flames were visibleNew Report Warns Against Pentagon Project Potentially Developing “Killer Robots”

(You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel )Thank you so much to all the readers who tuned in live to participate in the second installment of our question and answer series focused on artificial intelligence . I was thrilled to see so many questions come in before the event, as well as all the questions that were dropped into the chat during our conversation. Missed the broadcast? We’ve got your back. Below is a replay of this event that WIRED subscribers can watch whenever. Also, the livestream from the first one is available here . I started off the chat with a couple quick demos showing how to use the image and voice features built into chatbots, including an example of how it’s possible to interact with ChatGPT’s Advanced Voice Mode as a kind of Duolingo-style language learning tool. For a deeper dive into a few of the live questions we discussed, I’d suggest checking out my AI advice column for December, tackling questions about proper attribution for generative tools and how to teach the next generation about AI. If you’re interested in experimenting with AI-assisted note-taking, here’s a link to WIRED’s interview with Raiza Martin , the former senior product manager at Google who helped build NotebookLM as an experiment inside the company, before leaving to focus on her own startup . The podcasts NotebookLM can create of two AI-hosts discussing your files is entertaining and surprisingly helpful. Any newbies who are just getting started with AI and experimenting with it should sign up for season two of our AI Unlocked newsletter , where I walk you through different AI tools and how to approach the technology. At WIRED, we’re about to take some time off for the end of the year, but we’ll be back in January for another 45-minute livestream session on Thursday, January 16 , at 1 pm ET / 10 am PT. Mark your calendars and keep sending in every question you can think of about AI. I’ll see you again in the new year!
