Has Democratic Party pulled support from county commissioner candidate Sean Ewing?
Oct 1, 2026 · original
QUESTION: Has the Alamance County Democratic Party pulled its support from Sean C. Ewing’s campaign for Alamance County’s board of commissioners? ANSWER: It appears that Sean Ewing really is persona non grata with Alamance County’s Democrats – so much so that the party’s attorney has issued a trespassing notice to make sure the candidate gives a wide berth to the local Democratic headquarters in the town of Haw River. Candidate told: ‘no trespassing’ at party headquarters According to Haw River’s police chief, who has received a copy of the document from the party’s attorney, this notice doesn’t delve into whatever incident or alleged breach prompted this unprecedented action against the Mebane councilmember and aspiring county commissioner. Yet, this notice does mark a significant shift in the party’s relationship with Ewing, who had once been one of the most enthusiastic office seekers
Visiting judge dismisses long-running lawsuit over parking dispute at Mebane’s Manorfield subdivision
Oct 1, 2026 · original
A visiting superior court judge from Wake County has permanently dismissed a long-running lawsuit over parking restrictions in common areas within the Manorfield subdivision in Mebane. James Crandall, who owns a home in Manorfield at 1404 Yellow Wood Drive, originally filed his suit against the Manorfield Property Owners Association and the city of Mebane in June 2023. Crandall argued that the absence of any restrictions on parking in common areas within Manorfield when he bought his home in 2017 had been consistent with Mebane’s Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) and asked the city to enforce its UDO. Mebane’s attorney, however, countered that the city lacked the legal authority to challenge the property owners’ association restrictions on parking areas within Manorfield, and the city was dismissed as a defendant to the suit following a hearing in Alamance County superior court in June
Commissioners OK adding DSS staff ahead of new Medicaid mandates
Oct 1, 2026 · original
Alamance County’s commissioners have signed off on a plan that will allow the county’s department of social service to add 11 staff members to meet forthcoming federal requirements for the Medicaid program. The commissioners voted 5-to-0 in favor of this staff level expansion on Monday on the assurance that the county won’t have to spend any of its own funds to foot the bill for these additional caseworkers. According to Candice Gobble, the county’s social services director, the county has little choice but to upstaff in order to meet the federal government’s latest changes to Medicaid. Alamance County DSS Director Candice Gobble Gobble said that these mandates, which are scheduled to take effect at the beginning of 2027, include a new rule that requires adult recipients to work, volunteer, or hunt for a job in order to maintain their medical coverage. In addition, DSS will have to imple
WEEK 7 PREVIEW: Three intra-county match-ups on schedule for Fri. night
Oct 1, 2026 · original
By Bob Sutton Special to The Alamance News There are three Mid-Carolina Conference football games Friday night. Here’s a look: Western Alamance at Southeast Alamance The Stallions (6-0 overall, 2-0 Mid-Carolina Conference) will be in their regular-season home finale before three road games. Western (4-1, 1-0) is coming off its first loss. The Warriors have won their two road games so far. Western beat visiting Southeast 14-7 last year in the first meeting between the programs. Williams at Southern Alamance Williams (3-0, 1-0), the defending conference champion, hasn’t played a league game since its opener. In the five Fridays since then, the Bulldogs have had only two games. Neither team played last week as it was a scheduled open date for both. Putting together a scouting report on Williams has been a challenge for Southern coach Jonathan Hester. “They’ve only played three,” Hester said
Hambright puts early stamp on role as Western’s first-year head coach
Sep 27, 2026 · original
By Bob Sutton Special to The Alamance News Drew Hambright is halfway through the regular season of his inaugural football season as head coach at his alma mater. He’s directing the Western Alamance team, knowing his role has changed from several years ago when he was an assistant coach. Hambright, a 2001 graduate, is attempting to make it seem as normal as possible. “Football is football. Coaching is coaching,” he said. “It’s just coaching.” Hambright returned to the program after Jeff Snuffer departed from the position last November. Hambright is only the third Western football coach in 35 years. While he played under Hal Capps and coached alongside Snuffer, the coaches all have their own traits. Hambright’s style is still developing. “He’s just holding people accountable more – in practice, in games,” senior linebacker Dawson Boysel said. “It’s really good.” The players seem to have ad

Sep 24, 2026 · original
1st trial (1992): found guilty, verdict overturned; 2nd trial (1995): hung jury; All Posts 3rd trial (1997): not guilty An Alamance County man who was convicted in October 1992 for two murders he was later found innocent of is now suing Alamance Coun-ty’s sheriff, seeking thousands in damages for alleged malicious prosecution and fabrication of evidence that had been used to convict him 34 years ago. Then 23, Mark Elliott Crotts, white, male, had been charged in 1991 with two counts of first-degree murder and tried three times in the November 1990 fatal stabbing deaths of Willie (“Bill”) Gilliam and Alma Gilliam, then 79 and 77 respectively. At the conclusion of his first trial, in 1992, held in Alamance County, Crotts was found guilty of the two first-degree murders, but that case was subsequently overturned two years later by the state Supreme Court. At a second trial in 1995, also hel

Commissioners postpone decision on trash, recycling contracts
Sep 27, 2026 · original
Alamance County’s leaders may be about to scrap the longstanding policy that gives certain trash haulers the exclusive right to pick up curbside trash and recyclables in unincorporated parts of the county. Alamance County’s solid waste ordinance allows companies to obtain franchises to provide both garbage and recycling pickup in each of three areas outside the county’s cities and towns. One of these zones, which generally extends south from the interstate and west from the Haw River, is presently served by GFL Environmental, which formerly did business as Waste Industries. The other two zones lie to the east and northwest of the county’s urbanized core and are currently the sole province of Republic Services. The policy which has allowed these two firms to carve up the county came under fire on Monday when Alamance County’s board of commissioners received a staff-level proposal to allow

Sep 27, 2026 · original
Two touchdowns on first two throws, three altogether! By Bob Sutton Special to The Alamance News Williams alum Dan Mahan threw his first three collegiate touchdown passes for Duke in Saturday’s 62-7 romp past William & Mary at Wallace Wade Stadium in Durham. “For him to get in there and throw the ball, everyone knows his legs are a weapon, but we feel like he has a great arm as well,” Duke coach Manny Diaz said. “Two touchdowns on your first two throws …” Mahan’s first pass of the day went for a 29-yard touchdown with 10:42 left in the second quarter, helping push the Blue Devils to a 24-7 lead. Mahan, a redshirt freshman quarterback, delivered a strike to classmate Kavon Simmons inside the 5-yard line. Simmons bounced off a defender and ended up in the end zone, while Mahan was mobbed by some of his offensive linemen in celebration. Duke QB and Burlington native Dan Mahan On that play,
County to select contractor for EMS base after completing long-delayed land swap with developer
Sep 24, 2026 · original
After nearly two years of site-related delays, Alamance County is about to select a contractor to develop a new EMS station that will eventually serve the eastern parts of the county. According to assistant county manager Brian Baker, the county’s administrators are on the precipice of selecting this firm thanks to the finalization of a “land swap” with a Greensboro-based developer that had promised to provide the county with property off of NC 119 to build the new ambulance base. “The deed for [the swap] has been completed and filed,” Baker confirmed in an interview Monday. “The county has out a [request for qualifications] for a design-builder, and that decision will be reached this week. The contract will then go to the commissioners for their approval.” The first murmurs about this real estate barter arose in December of 2024, when a representative of the Greensboro-based Koury Corpo
