SUMMARY: In response to the devastation in Western North Carolina, recovery missions are ongoing, with upstate pilots delivering supplies to affected areas. The Transylvania Airport has partnered with Anchor Baptist Church to aid families in need, many of whom are still searching for missing loved ones. Randy Burton from the church highlighted significant community support, stating that hundreds of volunteers packed thousands of pounds of resources. With rising supply costs and shortages, particularly of tarps and batteries, counties are shifting to request monetary donations. The overwhelming community response has brought hope to those impacted by the crisis.

Communities in western North Carolina are still in urgent need of monetary and physical donations, prompting dozens of flights from local pilots.

SUMMARY: Stephen Stanko, 57, was executed by lethal injection in South Carolina for two 2005 murders: he shot a friend in Horry County and killed his girlfriend in Georgetown County after raping her daughter, who survived a throat-slashing.

He declined the firing squad after concerns arose from a prior execution. Appeals and a clemency request were denied. Victims’ families and his lawyer witnessed the execution. He died 28 minutes after it began.
