• Asheville Filmmakers Connect Wildfire Documentary to Local Disaster (americanow.com subscription) — Asheville filmmakers Erin Brethauer and Tim Hussin are premiering their wildfire documentary "Stray Embers" in Asheville on September 22, connecting lessons from California's Camp Fire to Western North Carolina's recovery from Hurricane Helene. Their film, and a new project on local flooding, explore how communities here and elsewhere navigate the long, messy work of rebuilding after climate disasters.
• Asheville bear 'Dolly' was saved from death. Here's what to know. (citizen-times.com) — A North Asheville black bear nicknamed Dolly, once slated for euthanasia after several home break-ins, may instead be relocated to the North Carolina Zoo if safely captured. Wildlife officials urge Asheville residents to secure trash, pet food, and other attractants, and to report concerning bear behavior while following BearWise safety guidance.
• Treasury Department Bars Major News Outlets From G20 Summit Coverage (memesita.com) — World finance ministers are gathering in Asheville for a G20 summit, but the U.S. Treasury Department has barred several major outlets, including Bloomberg, from full access, drawing sharp criticism over transparency.
