SUMMARY: Asheville and surrounding Buncombe County are slowly recovering from the extensive damage caused by heavy rainfall from Hurricane Helen, which brought 10 to 30 inches of rain. Roads are buckled and the infrastructure is slowly being restored, but approximately 100,000 residents remain without water, complicating efforts to resume school and business operations. Currently, water is being hand-delivered, but there is progress, as nearby Nashville is starting to see water restoration. The River Arts District was the hardest hit, indicating that recovery will take considerable time. Meteorologist Jordan Steel reports on the ongoing situation.

SUMMARY: Today marks Indigenous Peoples’ Day, also known as Columbus Day, but it is also recognized as Pinko Day. Members of the Chickasaw andanda Foundation held a wreath-laying ceremony at Fair Park to honor Chief Pinko, a notable leader and diplomat from the 1700s who was friends with George Washington. The event featured various activities aimed at celebrating Chickasaw culture, including games, tools, weapons, dancing, and music. Historians believe Chief Pinko died near Tupelo in 1799. Chickasaw elder Robert Perry participated as one of the wreath bearers during the ceremony.

SUMMARY: Residents in Clinton are opposing a proposed development near the Community Nature Center, expressing concerns about flooding, traffic congestion, and wildlife impact. A meeting at Oldtown Depot gathered residents, city officials, and Kirkland Properties, the developer, to discuss plans for reclassifying a 42-acre plot from residential to mixed-use for commercial development. Mayor Fischer noted that the zoning process may take at least six months. While developers aim to create a solution that includes preserved forest land alongside commercial properties, residents demand transparency and clarity on the project‘s implications for the community’s environment and infrastructure.
