From Classroom to Comedy: E.J. Masicampo's Dual Role in Education and Stand-Up

[Spectrum 1] E.J. Masicampo, a psychology professor at Wake Forest University, combines his academic expertise with stand-up comedy to represent the Asian American community and promote diversity in media. Named North Carolina's funniest person in 2022, Masicampo's performances highlight the importance of self-reflection, humor, and representation, inspiring both students and audiences.

Innovative BeBot Cleans Up Wrightsville Beach

[PBS] BeBot, a solar- and battery-powered beach sweeper, is now operating in North Carolina to clean beaches of small trash like cigarette butts and plastic. Managed by Keep New Hanover Beautiful, this 1,350-pound robot efficiently covers high-traffic areas, raising awareness about hidden beach litter. BeBot sifts through sand, collecting debris without harming the shoreline. It's currently used at Wrightsville Beach, with hopes of expanding its reach.

NC Lawmakers Push More Youth Offenders to Adult Court

[WRAL] The North Carolina General Assembly has passed legislation requiring more young offenders to be tried in adult court, altering the 2019 "Raise the Age" law. This move aims to alleviate the burden on juvenile courts but has faced criticism from civil rights advocates who argue it dismantles youth-focused reforms. The bill awaits the governor's decision.

A488068

Approx 6 month old neutered male Shepherd/Husky mix
This sweet boy came to the shelter as a stray. He would thrive best with another dog that is laid-back and not too dominant, as he needs a boost in self-esteem. He loves engaging with people and would do well with a family that can keep his active mind busy by giving him a job or activities. If you're looking for a loyal and interactive companion, he's eager to find his forever home with you!
