USS Pilgrim (SP-1204)

The third USS Pilgrim (SP-1204) was a United States Navy patrol vessel in commission from 1917 to 1919. Construction and early career Pilgrim was built as a private, steel-hulled sailing yacht of the same name in 1893 by Pusey and Jones at Wilmington, Delaware, for a racing syndicate in Boston, Massachusetts, which intended to use her in competition for America's Cup; she had 10,261 square feet (953.3 m2) of sail. During a series of races off Sandy Hook, New Jersey, against three other yachts in September 1893, she proved to be fast but too poor at minding her helm to race competitively, and another yacht was selected to represent the United States in defense of America's Cup. In 1894, the syndicate sold her to Lamont G. Burnham, Esq., of Boston, who had her converted to steam propulsion; she served as his private yacht. By 1907, Pilgrim was the property of the Boston Floating Hospital. In 1908 and 1909, she served as the private yacht of Wendell H. Wyman of Boston; in 1910, after being purchased by John A. Royall of Boston to be refitted with new engines, she operated as a fishing vessel and yacht, with her home port at Boston. In 1913, she was sold by Royall to Hugh C. Jones of Beaufort, North Carolina; where she operated as a yacht initially then fishing vessel. The Beaufort Fish Scrap and Oil Company of New Bern, North Carolina, purchased her in 1916. United States Navy service On 30 June 1917 or in July 1917, the U.S. Navy acquired her under a free lease from Beaufort Fish Scrap and Oil for use as a section patrol boat during World War I. She was commissioned on 18 July 1917 as USS Pilgrim (SP-1204). Assigned to the 5th Naval District, Pilgrim patrolled the North Carolina coast for the rest of World War I, operating in Pamlico Sound and Onslow Bay as far south as the New River. Pilgrim was decommissioned on 7 January 1919, and returned to Beaufort Fish Oil and Scrap the same day. Later career Beaufort Fish Scrap and Oil operated Pilgrim until 1927, when she was sold to the Newport Fisheries Company of Beaufort. F. S. Dickinson of Rutherford, New Jersey, purchased her in 1934, but her home port remained Beaufort. At times during the 1920s and 1930s, Pilgrim operated out of Mayport, Florida, while fishing. Abandoned in 1935, Pilgrim was towed to Harkers Point at Harkers Island, North Carolina, for use as a breakwater. Her hull was filled with concrete to keep her from moving. The remains of Pilgrim's hull remain visible at Harkers Point. Notes References This article incorporates text from the public domain Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships.

On August 25, 1971, the school opened for grades kindergarten through 10th with over 300 students. In 1980, the ministry purchased additional land and the construction of a multipurpose building housing classrooms, office space, cafeteria, library, music room, and gymnasium was completed. In 1982, Donnie Oates became pastor of Vandalia Baptist Church and served as school administrator for 14 years. In 1996, Dr. Mark Weatherford joined the staff as principal and later became the administrator. References External links Homepage

Wayne Community College is a public community college in Goldsboro, North Carolina. It offers more than 70 credit programs on campus with nine buildings and over 287,000 square feet (27,000 m2). Over 14,000 curriculum and extension students are enrolled at the college per year. The college is part of the North Carolina Community College System. History Wayne Community College began as the Goldsboro Industrial Education Center (I.E.C.), established on April 3, 1958. The original on-campus building was completed in November 1960, and until Fall 1962 all courses were taught in the evening, and all students were part-time. In the 1962–63 school year, the first full-time courses were offered leading to diplomas in automotive mechanics, electronics, drafting, and practical nursing. At that time, Goldsboro I.E.C. had 47 students enrolled with eight faculty members. From 1963 through 1965, three extension units of Goldsboro I.E.C. were established in Morehead City, Kenansville, and Clinton, which later became Carteret Community College, James Sprunt Community College, and Sampson Community College. In January 1964, Goldsboro I.E.C. became Wayne Technical Institute. By Fall 1966, the enrollment had increased to approximately 550 curriculum students and more than 1500 extension students. During the late 1960s, several additional classroom buildings were added to the campus. In November 1967, a community vote approved the necessary financial support, and Wayne Technical Institute became Wayne Community College. By the fall of 1968, enrollment had risen to nearly 700 curriculum students. Since 1968, the enrollment of Wayne Community College has steadily grown each year. In January 1974, the campus relocated from the U.S. 70 bypass to Wayne Memorial Drive due to the rapid student population growth. The 1997-1998 college year marked the 40th Anniversary of Wayne Community College, celebrated with the theme "Forty and Proud!"

Weaver Street Market

Weaver Street Market is a worker- and consumer-owned cooperative selling natural and organic food with a focus on local and fair trade products. The original market is situated in the heart of Carrboro, North Carolina, in Carr Mill Mall and hosts many community events. It occupies a central location in the town of Carrboro and serves as a "community gathering place." Besides the original Carrboro location, Weaver Street Market has expanded into three additional locations in Southern Village in Chapel Hill, historic downtown Hillsborough, North Carolina, and at The Dillon in Raleigh, North Carolina. Weaver Street Market previously operated a restaurant, Panzanella, featuring local food. In late December 2013, Panzanella officially ceased business operations. History The market was started with a loan from the town of Carrboro. During the course of 2006, some local residents expressed annoyance at new rules stating that all performances on the market lawn must have signed permission in advance from the owners of Carr Mill Mall. The lawn area consistently holds events and entertainment. In May 2007, plans were announced to open a third store in Hillsborough, North Carolina, and move the market's food preparation operations to Hillsborough for greater efficiency. Even though the plans were announced in May 2007, plans and employee feedback were included in the decision-making process since 2006. About 100 workers presented a petition in opposition to the plan outlining their concerns that WSM was growing too large. Plans have been made in other locales to copy the success of Weaver Street Market; one example is in Boynton Beach, Florida.
