The best young spellers in the English language are competing at the Scripps National Spelling Bee, which celebrates its 100th anniversary this year. The first bee was held in 1925, when the Louisville Courier-Journal invited other newspapers to host spelling bees and send their champions to Washington. The bee is now held just outside the nation’s capital, at a convention center on the banks of the Potomac River in Oxon Hill, Maryland. This is the 97th bee. It was canceled from 1943 to 1945 because of World War II and again in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
North Carolina officials have downgraded anticipated state revenue collections compared to their recent forecast. Wednesday's adjustments agreed upon by economists working in Democratic Gov. Josh Stein’s budget office and at the General Assembly are in large part the result of higher economic uncertainty and the risks of a recession. The changes from the February forecast keep front and center competing tax-cutting plans passed by the Republican-controlled House and Senate.

Despite being nearly wiped off the map by the remnants of Hurricane Helene, tiny Chimney Rock Village in North Carolina had optimistically predicted it would be open for business by Memorial Day. But in the days leading up to the holiday, a security guard at the town's entrance still turns away all but locals and construction workers. Mayor Peter O'Leary admits Main Street likely won't reopen until summer sometime. He said nearly a third of businesses were destroyed by last September's flooding.
