David Heron
Jamaican award winning actor and playwright David Heron has completed production as the narrator of ‘A Reggae King Rises Again’, Rolling Stone Magazine’s new audio podcast tribute to Jamaican reggae legend and Grammy Award-winning musician Frederick ‘Toots’ Hibbert.
“I am a big fan of Toots Hibbert, and I welcomed the opportunity to pay tribute to this remarkable artiste,” Heron said.
“My favourite Toots Hibbert song is ‘Sweet and Dandy’. There’s something generally about his music for Jamaicans who live abroad, these songs take you back. There are some songs which when you hear them, they take you back in a clear specific way to a moment in time, you can smell Jamaica,” he said.
Starship Enterprises of Atlanta, a leader in pleasure product retail, has upped its social media presence to create long-lasting relationships with both customers and vendors alike.
There were 55 responses to this weekâs Tele-Talk question: âShould the town be doing more to save its Revolutionary War-era buildings?â The responses were overwhelming in support of saving historic buildings.
Historic buildings are a big factor in what gives a town its character and personality. But, of course, the buildings have to be maintained and/or adapted to accommodate modern use, otherwise they lose their relevance and become endangered. It was a labor of love â and costly â to renovate the Bolduc Block and The Majestic Theatre, but Conway Village is visually and economically better off for it having been saved, and it still looks like Conway instead of Anytown, USA.

Systemic racism is one of a myriad of issues an emerging social justice group plans to tackle in New Bern and Eastern North Carolina.
Creating and Sustaining Equity of New Bern – CASE – is the result of summer discussions by Craven Community College sociology teacher Caitlin Trombley, her husband Robert and five young professional women in town - Kelly Rogers, Bailey Evans, Niki Potter, JoAnna Wishon, and Heather Guthrie.
The conversations evolved into the decision to create a nonprofit action group and get real answers.
“Our mission is to eliminate inequality and build a more equitable community by providing education, training, assistance and supportive resources to the area,” said Trombley, who along with her husband, are New Bern natives.
