Good morning, Fayetteville.

Cumberland County Schools will host a teacher job fair from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday at Gray's Creek High School in Hope Mills where job seekers will meet administrators and HR staff about teaching openings in areas such as special education, math, science, and elementary education. Participants should bring 30-50 copies of their resumes as the event is free and no registration is needed.

The DEQ announced that 150,000 local households within 30 miles of Chemours’ Fayetteville Works plant—covering parts of Hoke, Harnett, Cumberland, Bladen, Robeson, and Sampson—now qualify for free PFAS well testing, and Chemours will provide bottled water and filtration systems if unsafe levels are found.

Fayetteville activists will rally at 11 a.m. Saturday outside the Fayetteville PWC headquarters on Old Wilmington Road to protest a proposed state rule that lets industries keep releasing PFAS, a toxic chemical that may harm drinking water.

They plan to oppose a federal funding freeze that could cost PWC $80 million needed for filtration systems—urging residents to contact local officials with their concerns.

Yesterday, former Pearl Harbor sailor Neil Daniel Frye was buried with honors at Sandhills State Veterans Cemetery in Spring Lake after his cremated remains were positively identified.

The military service featured a flag folding ceremony and tribute as Frye, who died aboard the USS West Virginia during the Dec. 7 attack on Pearl Harbor, was honored.

The Fayetteville City Council voted on March 25 to join a national lawsuit against makers of firefighting foam with PFAS—hoping to get funds for testing and cleanup at the Fayetteville Regional Airport—and hold them responsible for damage.

The lawsuit will let Fayetteville work with other cities to share legal costs and cover remediation expenses.

At a recent meeting, the Council on Homelessness and Mental Health Committee recommended that city officials discuss building a village of Pallet tiny homes for the unhoused at its work session on May 5—each unit costing about $24,000 and offering either 70 or 120 square feet.

City officials will need to change zoning and secure funding while private and nonprofit groups have already shown interest in managing the project.
