I wanted to alert you all to the impending “heat dome” that is forecasted to affect our area in the coming days. With temperatures soaring, it’s important to stay safe and cool during this heatwave. Here are a few tips to beat the heat: stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, avoid strenuous outdoor activities during peak sun hours, wear light-colored and loose-fitting clothing, seek shade or air-conditioned spaces, and check on vulnerable individuals like the elderly or those with health conditions. Let’s look out for one another and stay cool during this scorching weather!

UNC Asheville's Chancellor Kimberly van Noort's decision to cut programs was not political. Rather, it was a sound business decision needed to balance a budget in need of restructuring. Not only is student interest in Western Classicism waning, endowment campaigns and annual donations are more profitable when alumni are gainfully employed. The Town of Woodfin held a groundbreaking celebration to mark the beginning of construction on the Woodfin Greenway and Blueway, featuring a unique water feature called Taylor's Wave and the expansion of Riverside Park.
