Wayne Week, 219 North John Street, Goldsboro, NC (2025)

10/22/2025

The Oct. 26 edition of Wayne Week is just about ready to head to the presses, so we thought we would give you a taste of what’s inside:

- Pikeville lost a giant this week when former Town Commissioner Lyman Galloway passed away, so we took some time to honor the decorated Air Force veteran who became a fighter for the town he and his late wife came to love.

- The Wayne County Board of Commissoners have enabled the Board of Education to take a first step toward a new Brogden Primary School.

- Some Mount Olive residents are speaking out after the mayor of Newton Grove identified Mount Olive Interim Town Manager Glenn Holland as the water and sewer director for the Sampson County town. Holland, though, told Wayne Week his work with other municipalities — he is also a consultant of sorts for Princeton — does not impact his ability to lead the embattled town, and reiterated that he only took on the role at Town Hall because he wanted to pay back a town that he loved for all it has done for him.

There’s more, but we will leave it there.

We will see our subscribers this weekend.

Those who want to ensure they are added to our routes can subscribe by clicking the link in the comment section of this post by Thursday at midnight.

Have a great rest of your week, Wayne County!

The October 12 edition of Wayne Week is just about ready to go, but we thought we would go ahead and preview our cover story.

Here’s what we’ve got coming:

As the Saving Union Station group prepares to launch a fundraising campaign in memory of late Judge Charles Gaylor — and the City Council prepares to approve a contract with TA Loving Company for the first phase of the stabilization effort at the depot — Mayor Charles Gaylor talked to us about what it was like be the son of the man known to friends as Charlie, how it felt to lose him, and why the lessons he learned as a boy about his duty to protect his community’s past guide the decisions he makes on behalf of the people who live in the city that raised him.

Those who are ready to jump in can find links to subscribe in the comment section of this post.

Have a great rest of the week — and weekend — Wayne County.

The October 5 edition of Wayne Week is headed your way and the subject of this week’s cover story is a warrior.

Have a great weekend, Wayne County!

We are still churning away at this week’s paper, but the cover — and the cover story — are too exciting to not share a little early.

The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction has released its 2024-25 accountability data — and school report cards — and nearly every single Wayne County public school demonstrated dramatic improvement in nearly every measured discipline.

All that data will appear in our Sept. 7 edition of Wayne Week.

If you haven’t jumped in, this might be the week to do it. (Links to subscribe are in the comments and include our educator discount.)

Have a great rest of your week, Wayne County.

And if you see a local teacher, administrator, Central Office staffer, or Board of Education member, take the time to thank them for the hard work that resulted in this tangible progress.

08/28/2025

The Aug. 31 of Wayne Week is just about done, so we thought we’d give you an early preview of what’s inside:

- According to the North Carolina Office of the State Auditor, Mount Olive Mayor Jerome Newton has formally requested a full forensic audit of the town.

- Mount Olive Interim Town Manager Glenn Holland says he is in possession of several “white cards” that were used to obtain fuel from the Mount Olive Municipal Airport on credit — and that he has ended that practice.

- The Fremont Town Board has rejected an interlocal wastewater agreement approved by the Goldsboro City Council.

- Freedom Fest — and the unveiling of a new Freedom Tree, Blue Star Memorial, and Gold Star Memorial — are set for next week in Downtown Goldsboro.

There’s more, but we’ll leave it there.

We will see our subscribers Friday and Saturday.

Negligence. Fraud. Possible embezzlement. And according to local and state officials, criminal charges and a deeper dive into the town could be right around the corner.

The Thursday edition of Wayne Week has gone to press — a paper that includes a damning investigative report, in its entirety, published this morning by the North Carolina Office of the State Auditor that paints Mount Olive as, at best, a poorly run town marred by shoddy bookkeeping practices, financial mismanagement, negligent employees who might be guilty of embezzlement and/or fraud, more than $210,000 in lost revenue that forced rate hikes upon taxpayers, missing invoices, potential revenue that cannot be accounted for, and chaos at the town’s airport.

But officials acknowledged that those issues could be simply the tip of the iceberg, as the NCOSA only investigated a handful of claims, departments, and practices.

Barring an unforseen delay, every one of our subscribers — print and digital — will have their copies Friday, as we feel this Special Edition merits the extra burden on our delivery team to get it into your hands as soon as possible.

Those who want to jump in and guarantee a spot on the route can click the links in the comment section of this post before midnight tonight to sign up. (1-year and 6-month trial options are available.)

Have a great weekend, Wayne County!

We will see our subscribers tomorrow.

It’s hard to believe that it has been this long, but Wayne Week is about to turn 2!

So, to celebrate, we wanted to give all of you a chance to share the paper with someone you care about — a family member, friend, mentor, student, or member of your congregation without breaking the bank.

Here’s what we came up with:

We have created a way to offer you the ability to gift a newspaper — for free — when you subscribe or renew your subscription.

Here’s how to do it:

Step 1: Click the link that is in the comment section below before June 18, 2025.

Step 2: Subscribe or renew your subscription.

Step 3: Email [email protected] and tell us the name and address associated with your “gift” subscription.

After that, both you and your gift recipient will be covered for the next year for the price of one subscription.

It’s been our great honor to be an official newspaper of record here in Wayne County and we look forward to what promises to be an incredible Year 3 as we add to our team and broaden our coverage across various new platforms.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

05/23/2025

The Memorial Day edition of Wayne Week is off the press and will be distributed to our subscribers in the coming days.

We hope everyone has a safe weekend — and that the members of the Dillard/Goldsboro Alumni & Friends who are coming home have a wonderful reunion.

But let us also take time during this three-day weekend to pause and remember the fallen — the heroes who sacrificed their lives in the name of an ideal bigger than any one person.

Our nation — and world — are forever in their debt.

Sometimes, a moment or achievement is so unique — so awe-inspiring — that it calls for more than just another news story.

That is why we have spent our weekend beginning to put together a Special Edition of Wayne Week — a newspaper that will, almost entirely, pay tribute to the 335th Chiefs, the unit’s heritage, and the historic defense of Israel that earned 31 of them decorations that were pinned to their Air Force blues Friday inside a hangar on Seymour Johnson Air Force Base.

The April 6 paper will publish on its regular schedule and will be available this weekend.

Those who want to jump in to guarantee you receive a copy can click the links in our comments. And because so many have, in anticipation of our coverage of Friday’s ceremony, reached out and asked for a “trial” subscription, we will include a link to our 6-month option as well.

Have a great rest of your Sunday, everyone.

03/28/2025

The March 30 edition of Wayne Week is back from the presses and we look forward to seeing our readers in the coming days.

Here’s a taste of what’s inside:

- Cover Story: The president of the Downtown Goldsboro Development Corporation’s Board of Directors wrote a sprawling letter to members of the Goldsboro City Council in response to what he characterized as unwarranted, inaccurate attacks against the non-profit.
- The Goldsboro city manager search is down to a “final three” — and current Interim City Manager Matthew Livingston is still in the game.
- State Rep. John Bell is on his way to securing an additional $4.1 million for the Rosewood Middle School project.

There’s more, but we’ll leave it there.

Have a great weekend, Wayne County and enjoy this beautiful weather.

The Feb. 23 edition of Wayne Week has gone to press and we will see our subscribers in the coming days. (Keep an eye out for an email from our team, because we would assume, given the current state of the roads, that home delivery might be pushed back a day or two.)

With that said, here’s a taste of what’s inside:

- Downtown Goldsboro’s “Freedom Tree” will likely need to come down as a result of rot and insect infestation, but former Goldsboro Mayor Tommy Gibson, the man who planted the willow oak in 1973 in honor of then-MIA Air Force fighter pilot Maj. Peter Cleary, has a plan — thanks to his son, Ben — to ensure another tree is planted in its place so the community never forgets Cleary’s sacrifice.

- MASSIVE news on the saving historic Union Station front, but we won’t spoil it here. At least, not yet.

- Members of the Goldsboro City Council met in closed session Tuesday to begin to review the applications of those who want to be the next city manager.

- A high school photojournalist and yearbook staffer, Owen Davis, captured some incredible shots as the Charles B. Aycock cheerleading squad took home the Wayne County championship. Fortunately for us — and you — we have the chance to share this talented photographer’s work.

There’s more, but we can’t spoil everything.

Those who want to begin a subscription can click one of the links in the comments. And if you are a current subscriber and have not renewed your subscription, don’t forget to check your email so your account doesn’t lapse.

Stay safe — and warm — out there, everyone!

02/06/2025

The Feb. 9 edition of Wayne Week has gone to press and we’ll see our subscribers in the coming days.

Here’s a taste of what’s inside:

- The point-in-contact homeless count conducted last week saw a significant increase in Wayne County’s unhoused population from 2024.

- Pikeville officials have spoken with Rep. John Bell to gauge his interest in filing a bill that would allow the town to change its charter to allow for recall elections.

- Dozens of Mount Olive residents converged on Town Hall Monday evening to voice their concerns about a number of issues — including a recently announced SBI investigation into town employees.

There’s more, but we’ll leave it there.

Have a great weekend, Wayne County. If you still haven’t jumped in and want to join the Wayne Week community, home delivery and digital subscription links are in the comments.
