LUMBERTON – The Food Fair that will take place this week is the last occasion postponed indefinitely from COVID-19.
“Due to caution due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in the region, we have made the decision that, in the most productive interest and the protection of suppliers, consumers and volunteers, the Fair Food Drive Thru event, scheduled for downtown Lumberton from October 2 to 4, has been postponed for a later date,” says one of the event’s organizers.
The driving occasion was scheduled to offer food vendors on a 11 a. m. cell phone. 7 p. m. on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays on Water Street between West Second and West Fifth streets.

LUMBERTON – The plan to build a social housing complex has not been abandoned, despite many challenges, the executive director of the city’s housing authority said Tuesday.
The Lumberton City Housing Authority are two sites in Lumberton for the site of an apartment complex to upgrade 72 sets in Hilton Heights and Myers Park that were lost to Hurricane Matthew in 2016, Adrian Lowery said.
One belongs to the city and the other to an individual, he said. The Housing Authority is awaiting an assessment of actual advertising property on the individual’s assets in the eastern component of Lumberton to begin the land-earning procedure.
The owner is interested in the sale and the city agrees, Lowery said.
“It’s a matter of getting that evaluation,” he said.
The resettlement effort comes after a vote at a City Council assembly on June 25 to reject a 9. 73-acre land rezoning request at 2440 E. Fifth St. , or NC 211, from mobile homes/general sales to multifamily businesses for the structure of a set of homes.
The Housing Authority still has a $12 million investment from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the overall network progression grant for the project, and will use it to build a complex when it can protect a site.
The Executive Director is involved about the delay in the project.
“We’re about to be in October, this typhoon is 4 years old,” he said.
Some of the other people who live in Hilton Heights and Myers Park were forced to move in with their families or move out, Lowery said.
In other public housing news, the Authority will contact FEMA in the hope of ensuring an investment for the rehabilitation or relocation of 29 sets at Turner Terrace and 67 sets at Lumbee Homes, he said. This would charge between $10 million and $15 million for the Lumbee home share alone.
The move from Hilton Heights administrative construction to an asset at 307 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive is in the design phase, Lowery said. The Housing Authority won an allocation award letter from the Government’s Comprehensive Community Development Grant Restoration Program for the $1. 7 million allocation.
“We expect to be in these assets in December of the year,” Lowery said.
The county is experiencing a “severe shortage” of social housing, he said.
But the city of Lumberton has several housing projects underway, Municipal Administrator Wayne Horne said Tuesday.
A Mills Construction team is running in a 72-unit multifamily housing complex at an asset on Elizabethtown Road. Four houses are under structure as a component of East Lumberton’s $3. 2 million housing project, which is being built with government money.
In addition, under the Affordable Housing Project, eligible families displaced by Hurricanes Matthew and Florence can earn up to $60,500 in state cash to buy a new home.
Two of the houses under structure at the end of Horne and Hannover streets are special houses, or houses in a position to move, similar in design to other houses under structure.
“Adjust the dynamics of the neighborhood,” said Brandon Love, deputy director of the city.
The city is also working to acquire, build and rebuild homes as a component of Hurricane Matthew’s threat mitigation program, which is priced at just over $12. 8 million. 13 homes were approved broken or destroyed by Hurricane Matthew for the elevation, 31 were purchased at the owners’ request and 27 will be rebuilt. The city demolished and cleared 20 that can become green spaces.
The city is waiting for data and a state budget before Hurricane Florence HMGP began, including the acquisition of 57 homes and 16, all affected by the typhoon that hit Robeson County in September 2018.
State and municipal permits are being received for the structure of the 66-unit Winecrest senior housing complex on five acres of land on Linwood Avenue and McPhail Road. Financing Initiative. As a representative and Pendergraph of Raleigh as a developer of the assignment.
The city is also making plans to build a 72-unit complex in N. C. 41.

LUMBERTON – Robeson County nursing homes are eligible for a replacement in state regulations that allow indoor visits, according to the county’s most sensible fitness officer.
The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services issued a secretarial order Monday updating visiting rules for nursing homes to allow indoor visits. instead, according to the public fitness agency.
“We have focused on protecting the fitness of citizens of nursing homes since the onset of this crisis. Our progress in detecting, controlling infections and slowing the spread of COVID-19 in our communities allows us to move forward with inland visits in accordance with federal guidelines. “”, said Dr. Mandy Cohen, Secretary of NCDHHS.
But in-house visits to Robeson County nursing homes will not be allowed, said Bill Smith, director of the county’s fitness department. While COVID-19 driving tests have yielded a positivity rate of less than 5%, the state has decided that the Robeson County rate is 11%.
“This takes into account all tests performed with laboratories sent electronically to the state,” Smith said. “As such, this option is not available for our retirement homes, given the data we have. “
On Friday, only two nursing homes in the county remained on NCDHHS’s list of long-term residential care services with outbreaks of the new coronavirus: the Pembroke Center, at 210 E. Wardell at Pembroke, and the Wesley Pines Retirement Center at 1000 Wesley Pines Road in Lumberton.
Starting in the afternoon. On Friday, the Pembroke centre had 1 cases and there were no deaths among staff, and 30 cases and no deaths among residents, according to the public agency’s list. The Wesley Pines Retreat Center has recorded 3 cases and no deaths among staff, and one case and no deaths among residents.
Up to 3 institutions in Robeson County were on the list sometime in the summer, but facility officials reported in August that they had noticed a decrease in cases and were making efforts to ensure the safety of patients and staff.
Indoor visits will be allowed in nursing homes without COVID-19 cases in more than 14 days and in counties with a positive verification rate of less than 10%, according to the public fitness agency.
“The updated order reflects the technique of state regulators to relieve restrictions in a responsible manner, while maintaining strong prevention measures. North Carolina continues to build on its first competitive moves to protect citizens and staff from nursing homes,” reads at THE NCDHHS.
In addition to restricting visits at the beginning of the pandemic, the State provided non-public protective equipment; Helped fill staff shortages Provided training in infection prevention and control, groups and targeted funding; Mandatory testing; and conducted on-site infection control inspections at more than 400 nursing homes in North Carolina, according to NCDHHS.
“In a collective life environment, an outbreak of COVID-19 is explained as at least two laboratory-confirmed cases. An outbreak ends if there is no evidence of continuous transmission in the facility,” reads on the NCDHHS online page in part. “It is measured 28 days after the last start date in a symptomatic user or the first sampling date of the last recent asymptomatic user, according to the last of those contingencies. If any other case is detected in a facility after one the outbreak is declared finished, the outbreak is not re-analyzed, counted as a case in collective coexistence environments, and if a momentary case is detected within 28 days in the same facility, it is a new instant outbreak at that facility.
LUMBERTON – Law scholars at Robeson Community College recently gained an educational investment in protective devices previously used through members of the county parliament.
Robeson County Sheriff Burnis Wilkins on Thursday donated 35 sets of bulletproof vests that will be used by academics in the Basic Law Enforcement Training Program. The armor was “removed” through the sheriff’s office.
“Federal rules hold that the bulletproof vest has a lifespan of five years. That’s why, when they retired, our sheriff was thinking about long-term law enforcement agents,” said Rudy Locklear, director of the Academy of Basic Technology Training for Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice at RCC. “When bulletproof vests are no longer usable, the ministry will have to dispose of them in such a way as to avoid illegal use. “
Cadets in fundamental law enforcement education will wear the bulletproof vest in their education, he said.
“Our Academy recognizes the desire to exercise cadets in the care and use of bulletproof vests and to increase regime use. Each cadet exercises in a vest to get used to the weight, warmth and feel of the bulletproof vest,” Locklear said.
Wilkins said vests can be used for firearm education or other scenarios.
“Providing replaced bulletproof vests to BLET students is a way to prepare them for the realities they will face. Many officials take the vest for granted and we must offer long-term officials the opportunity to wear one every day in controlled cases so they can start seeing it as a mandatory garment they will have to wear on a daily basis,” Wilkins said.
“Mandatory wearing a vest is mandatory in all law enforcement agencies, but if we can convince a long-term officer to wear it regularly, I think we can save a life,” the sheriff added.
Cadets are required to read the publication of the Federal Bureau of Investigation on Uniform Crime Reports, Law Enforcement Officers killed and assaulted the BLET, Locklear said.
“The incidents describe in this report each year the importance of systematic wearing bulletproof vests to protect against unforeseen attacks,” Locklear said. “The report encourages cadets to recognize that likely regime assignments, such as the execution of court orders, may end in armed confrontation.
RALEIGH – Eleven Municipalities in Robeson County are going to get cash from the state for street improvements.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation announced Monday that it has begun distributing approximately $132. 7 million in public assistance to municipalities, also known as the Powell Bill Fund, to 508 municipalities in the state. The initial allocation, part of the overall total, was to be distributed on Monday. The other party must be paid until 1 January.
All Robeson County beneficiaries are lined up to get their Powell Bill in October, according to NCDOT documentation. Fairmont is expected to get $40,019. 40; Wooden Bridge, $1,793. 03; Lumberton, $288,659. 64; Parkton, $7,862. 45; Pembroke, $43,608. 86; Proctorville, $1,881. 17; Raynham, $1,286. 55; Red Springs, $45,593. 17; Rennert, $5,130. 88; Rowland, $18,205. 26; St. Paul’s, $30,702. 92.
Powell Bill requires municipalities to use cash primarily for street rekindle, but can also be used for the structure and of roads, bridges, drainage systems, sidewalks and greenways, according to NCDOT.
“Funding for Powell Bill is helping local government transportation systems in their communities,” said Secretary of State for Transportation Eric Boyette. “This budget assistance generates critical projects such as road maintenance and support for local projects such as motorcycle roads and sidewalks. “
The amount each municipality receives is based on a formula established through the North Carolina General Assembly, 75% of the population-based budget and 25% on the number of kilometers of streets maintained.
Twenty-three cities earn at least $1 million, led by Charlotte with $13. 7 million in its population of 863,985 and 2,537 miles of maintained roads. Raleigh will get $7. 1 million, followed by Greensboro, $7 million; Durham, $6. 1 million; Winston Salem, $6 million; and Fayetteville, $4. 9 million.
The fund is named after Junius K. Powell, a former state senator and mayor of Whiteville, who was one of the main sponsors of the 1951 bill to help state cities solve urban road problems. The first allocation of Powell Act funds $4. 5 million and distributed to 386 cities and Including this week’s allocations, municipalities have earned more than $4. 8 in billing for street assistance since the program began.
LUMBERTON – Municipalities and churches will have to look this year for halloween trick or treat occasions or tricks or sweets that have been a staple in Robeson County in recent years.
The city of Lumberton has already done so.
Plans are underway for the city’s annual candy festival, one of the county’s largest food distribution events, in a driving-only program. providing costume contests, inflatable structures, food and decorated car boxes full of sweets.
“The anticipation is to drive-through,” said Courtney Rogerson, the city’s special occasion coordinator. “When I first came up with this idea, the first people we called went to the Department of Health. I spoke to the fitness branch and they gave us the agreement».
The concept is that the occasion will take place in Northeast Park, Rogerson said. The cars will remain separated through two seats, and the candy will be distributed to each child in the vehicle.
“It would just be a driving service, ” said Rogerson. “We make sure we comply with the CDC (Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). “
The city’s recreation branch “always takes care of the details” and determines logistics, but it’s an October 30 date at Candy Fest.
This occasion would possibly be the only chance for Lumberton’s youth to participate in an occasion of trick or treatment. After the CDC published its list of higher-risk activities, the city recommends that citizens do a choir so they don’t set traps. will be a replacement issue if Governor Roy Cooper’s COVID-19 restrictions are lifted.
“According to CDC guidelines, this is recommended. But things can be replaced in the run-up to Halloween,” Rogerson said.
Robeson County Health Department Director Bill Smith said other people were already concerned about criminals coming home.
“[T] going through the crowds carries a great risk,” Smith said. “Many other people who have reduced the number of visitors to their homes will not be able to open their doors. The days of buses full of other people the arrival in the Lumberton neighborhoods is over, at least for the foreseeable future. “
Choosing an access road or solution to drive in the city is a “good example of minimal threat activities,” Smith said.
Due to pandemic restrictions, the opportunity to distribute sweets or primary products in Red Springs has been cancelled and the county would possibly also disrupt the festivities.
The First Baptist Church in Red Springs announced earlier this month that it would carry out its annual trunk or sweet occasion. In recent years, the city of Red Springs has used the occasion as a safer replacement for door-to-door dinners.
The Robeson County Department of Parks and Recreation discusses Halloween occasions that can be safely celebrated, but branch managers are also eligible to cancel all occasions.
“We’re talking about that, but we might have to postpone the plans until next year,” said Wendy Chavis, branch director. “We just don’t see how we can plan it this year. “
The branch became aware of the city’s plan “but they have a giant park to do so,” Chavis said.
An official resolution on the cancellation of all Halloween activities could be made later this week, Chavis said.
The CDC published its list of high-risk Halloween activities, including:
– Attend costume parties in crowded rooms;
– Go to a haunted interior space where other people can crowd and scream;
– Take hay or tractor rides with others who are not part of your home;
– Use alcohol or drugs, which can blur judgment and develop unpleasant behaviors;
– Travel to a rural fall festival that is in your network if you live in a domain where COVID-19 spreads on the network.
Bill Smith said parents could achieve a sense of deception by taking a moderate approach.
“Dressing up children and making them choose attractive friends creates minimal contact, allows some normality and is a memorable opportunity,” Smith said.
St. PAULS – About a hundred others recently gathered at Sugar Memorial Park on Fourth Street to celebrate the park’s renovation.
The grand opening of the park took place at 10 a. m. on Saturday, in the presence of city officials and the circle of family members of the park’s namesake, Joe Sugar. The park opened in 1996 and committed to Sugar, who opened a men’s clothing store in St. Paul’s in 1916. The store operated in the city for 102 years.
The park gained a makeover that took about a year. Features include new sand, a handicapped swing, game facilities, a revamped slide and the addition of a picnic table. A mark in honor of the late Lewis McNeill, who died in 2018, was also added. McNeill helped protect the land for the park.
“The allocation has thrived thanks to volunteers,” said Sara Hayes, who helped coordinate renewal efforts.
Hayes also revered in Saturday’s rite for his efforts.
Community members presented time over the weekend to make assignment possible, adding eye-catching mulch on the playground, Hayes said. Organizations such as the city’s Tourism Advisory Council also participated.
“I think it’s great merit for St. Paul, and that’s great merit for our children,” Mayor Elbert Gibson said.
The allowance charged $67,000 and it all came from 24 donors, adding Watts Water Technologies, Woodmen of the World Life Insurance Society and others.
“I think it’s great,” said Lance Herndon, chairman of the Robeson County Board of Commissioners, in whose district the city is located. “This post has been here for a long time. “
Herndon remembers the gambling on the tennis courts that used to be on the park site, now he’s grateful for the investment that will give his youngsters a position to play, Herndon said.
“I think it’s certainly wonderful that the city has a position where kids can play,” said Talmage Clemments, whose wife Jackie is Joe Sugar’s granddaughter. “And I congratulate the city for making efforts to do so. “
Lee Short, Sugar’s great-grandson, said he was grateful for the city’s resolve to stay on the park’s last call and for his paintings about the renovation project.
The Robeson County Public Library also distributed a hundred loose books to the youth of the event. It was noted that other participants enjoyed Sunset Slush’s loose Italian ice cream in Fayetteville.
The city continues to settle for donations for park maintenance and long-term shelter replacement. To make a donation, call the municipal corridor at 910-865-5164.
