Good morning, Greenville.

Eastern Carolina Vocational Center Inc. honored six outstanding employees with Foundation Awards at its annual employee Christmas luncheon on Dec.

19 (recognizing excellence, leadership, and commitment).

High school students from eastern NC gained hands-on anatomy experience at ECU’s Brody School of Medicine on the seventh floor of the pathology lab, as Rachel Smith led the session in studying dissected specimens (a program that broadened their scientific horizons).

On Friday, Jan.2, local volunteers collected donated Christmas trees to aid in dune stabilization near Greenville (the trees will be recycled into mulch to help reduce erosion).

Parts of Eastern Carolina, including Pitt County, remain abnormally dry as noted by the U.S. Drought Monitor.

Crop Agent Jonathan Smith said while cover crops may feel the lack of moisture, cash crops are dormant and meteorologists forecast a half-inch to an inch of rain today (Saturday) to help conditions.
