Cape Carteret News

An effort to address concerns about gill net fishing in waters off of Cape Carteret is proceeding to a formal mediation process.

Polls in Onslow and Carteret counties stayed busy as voters showed up early on Election Day and kept coming throughout the day to cast a ballot.

Cape Carteret police say they caught 49-year-old Timothy Shilstone of Swansboro going 76 in a 45 mph zone on Taylor Notion Road around 9 a.m. Saturday.

The town has notified Carteret County that it will likely find an alternative for regular building inspection services beginning with the next fiscal year, providing the required 90-day notice should the town decide to end its contract with the county.

Earlier this month, the Onslow County Board of Commissioners approved a resolution asking Camp Lejeune to open N.C. 172 to limited civilian traffic.
