Cancer Risk Chemical in North Carolina Water | Greensboro News

Wastewater in Asheboro, North Carolina, is dumping dangerously high levels of cancer-linked 1,4-dioxane into Haskett’s Creek — over 90 times the safe limit for drinking water. The creek feeds into the Deep River, a key part of the Cape Fear River Basin that supplies communities downstream. State officials have alerted water utilities and are ramping up testing while working with other plants to reduce pollution. This isn’t the first time the basin has faced contamination — and regulators are staying on high alert to protect public water supplies.

Cold Case Reopens With Officer Suspect | Greensboro News

After 20 years, Garner police are re-examining the cold case of 16-year-old Josh Davis’s 2004 murder, now treating it as homicide and zeroing in on Four Oaks officer Megan Potter as a suspect. New warrants target her cell records, while old evidence—including a stolen car found at her home just days after the killing and conflicting statements from witnesses and Potter herself—resurface. Tips from 2008 and 2010 resurfaced in 2025, with consistent claims, and inconsistencies emerged between Potter’s 2004 and 2025 statements. When agents tried to interview her again, she refused. Worse, she allegedly accessed a police database to look up her ex-spouse—a key witness—after agents sought to contact him, raising red flags. Potter is now on administrative leave as the investigation intensifies. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Guilford Schools Earn Top Tier B Grade | Greensboro News

Guilford County Schools earned a solid B overall in the latest state report cards, ranking among the top districts in North Carolina — with 70% of students and 90% of schools meeting or exceeding state expectations. While the grade reflects strong performance, some areas fell short, and critics, including the state superintendent, argue the current metrics don’t fully capture the district’s impact — especially on students making progress despite challenges. The state is actively working to refine its evaluation system to better reflect holistic school success. Parents and curious listeners can review the full 2023 report cards online to see how their local schools measure up.
