K&W Cafeteria has announced it is closing its doors immediately
Okay, Dylan, thanks for the commitment 2026. Now, longtime Forsyth County Commissioner Don Martin will not run for a fourth term. Martin made the announcement this morning. He has served on the board for 11 years, representing District B. Martin told WXII 12 News he will complete his current term through December 2026. He has endorsed Republican Chris Parker as a candidate to fill his seat, and the candidate filing period for next year’s midterm elections is now open. One of the most high profile races is for the US Senate. Republican Thom Tillis is retiring after two terms. With such a high-stakes battle on the ballot, one political scientist says it’s more important than ever for voters on both sides to be prepared. Confirm your voting status. Make sure you are registered where you think you are. Make sure you know where you are going to vote. If you’re going to vote in the partisan primaries, be sure to know something about the candidates who may be in these primaries. Candidate nomination for the primary will close at noon on December 19. Primary election day is March 3. The Rockingham County Board of Elections is holding a residency protest hearing in the Eden City Council race. This includes the seat of Ward 4. According to the Board of Elections, Randall Hunt claims that the winner of the race, Paul Dishman, does not live within the city limits. Hunt finished second in the race. Today, a 19-year-old man will face a judge after a crash and gunshot in Kernersville. Police say Landon Palmatier fired a gun during a car crash on Highway 421 yesterday. Thankfully, no one was hurt. He is charged with discharging a firearm into occupied property, assault with a deadly weapon and violating a city ordinance. For the state capital. Now, a new month means several new laws are on the books. In North Carolina, House Bill 193 allows certain employees and volunteers of private and religious schools to carry concealed guns on campus if permitted by the school. Leadership. Supporters say it provides the same protections as public schools with school resource officers. However, opponents say it places responsibility in the hands of people who may be completely unprepared to deal with that kind of emergency. Another piece of legislation that is also in effect, Irina’s Law House Bill 307 makes several changes to North Carolina’s criminal justice system. It ended cashless bail for some violent criminals. It also requires judges to order mental health evaluations in some cases and expedites death penalty appeals. The bill is named after Iryna Zaritskaya, a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee who was stabbed to death on a Charlotte light rail train in August. DeCarlos Brown faces state and federal charges in his death. These are just a couple of the new laws in our state. You can find other General Assembly statutes on our website and free mobile app. The man accused of shooting and killing the CEO of UnitedHealthcare is back in court today beginning a complicated preliminary hearing that could decide how the prosecution for Luigi Mangione proceeds. His lawyers are trying to have his diary entries and other evidence thrown out of court, and they argue that investigators illegally seized them from his backpack without a warrant. Prosecutors disagree and have agreed to take the case to trial. Protesters held placards in support of the accused killer outside the court today. New here at noon. France’s president says talks over a US peace proposal for the war in Ukraine could mark a turning point for security in Europe. As Richard Engel reports, President Trump’s special envoy is scheduled to travel to Moscow to meet with the Russian president to talk about this proposal. I am now in southern Ukraine, a region often targeted by Russian forces. And although there are still intense diplomatic efforts underway to end this war, after almost four very long years and hundreds of thousands of deaths on both sides, there has been no ceasefire and Russian attacks continue in an unrelenting manner. Russian attacks followed over the weekend, killing at least one person at an apartment complex near Kiev. Another Russian attack took place in the city of Dnipro, east of here, and at least four people were killed there, according to local officials. But despite the ongoing violence, there is a definite effort going on right now between Ukraine and the Trump administration to try to get on the same page and try to come up with a more unified negotiating position, potentially to be presented to Vladimir Putin tomorrow. And that’s when Special Envoy Steve Witkoff is going to be in Russia, meeting with Putin to try and come up with terms to finally end this war. Richard Engel
