Congress Allocates Over $100 Billion for Disaster Relief After Hurricanes and Wildfires

[WRAL] Congress has approved over $100 billion in emergency aid to address disaster recovery following hurricanes Helene and Milton, averting a government shutdown. The bill includes $29 billion for FEMA, $21 billion for farmers, and funds for rebuilding roads, homes, and military facilities. Asheville, NC, a hard-hit area, continues its recovery with lingering economic impacts. Officials stress more aid may be needed.

UNCW Welcomes Lorelle Hoyer to Lead Volleyball Program After NCAA Tournament Success

[UNCW] UNCW has hired Lorelle Hoyer as the new head coach for its volleyball program. Hoyer brings success from Indiana University of Pennsylvania, where she led the team to three straight NCAA Division II Tournament appearances and a 67-29 record. She aims to build a championship culture at UNCW. With prior coaching roles at Idaho, Southern Utah, and NC Central, Hoyer’s experience and leadership position her to elevate the Seahawk volleyball team.

It’s pretty hard to imagine Canada as a US state…or is it? Just like Josie and Annie, I need some rest. I’m going to take tomorrow off. Have a great weekend and I’ll see you on Monday!
