Dry Strawberry Farms, a Fort Fisher Renovation, and Tom Brady’s Menu

Tuesday, April 21, 2026

Good Morning! On this day in 1931, legendary American high school basketball coach Morgan Wootten was born in Durham. Wootten coached at DeMatha Catholic High School in the Washington, D.C., area for 46 seasons and retired in 2002 with a record 1,274 wins. He was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2000 as the first high school-only coach.

Speaking of hall-of-famers, a Tom Brady-inspired menu is being served to UNC football team members. Learn more in Et Cetera.

On today's episode of The Flyover Podcast, host Ayla Brown breaks down exactly what this report found, which platforms it calls out by name, and what it means for every American who thinks they're getting the full picture. Plus, where does The Flyover rank? We'll share that too. And we think you'll like the answer. Tune in. You're going to want to hear this one.

Drought Threatens NC’s Strawberry Season

A severe six-month drought—the driest start to the year in the Triangle since recordkeeping began in 1887—is threatening North Carolina’s strawberry season as farmers battle dry soil and dwindling irrigation sources.

Ripe berries remain sweet and plentiful for now, but prolonged dry conditions could shorten the harvest season, which runs through early June, and threaten upcoming crops like pumpkins and corn.

Darin Jones of DJ’s Berry Patch in Apex and Danny Page of Page Farms in Raleigh are pumping water under plastic to protect blooms and cool the fruit amid the unseasonable heat. Meanwhile, Seven Sisters Farm in Denton aims to improve soil health and moisture retention by composting to create a buffer against drought and high fertilizer prices.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has designated 82 North Carolina counties as natural disaster areas due to the drought, qualifying affected farmers for emergency loans.

NCSU Gets $18M+ to Grow Nuclear Workforce

North Carolina State University has received an $18.3 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to lead the Consortium for Reactor Safety Training (CRεST) as part of a $49.7 million nationwide initiative to grow the future nuclear energy workforce.

Led by NC State’s Department of Nuclear Engineering, CRεST will pursue six pathways, including K-12 outreach, two-year college partnerships, university programs, reactor safety training, and community engagement.

The award builds on NC State’s legacy in nuclear education, including the world’s first university nuclear reactor program that was established in 1950. It aims to train workers across skill levels to meet the growing demand for safe and reliable nuclear power.

The initiative aligns with NC State’s broader efforts to strengthen national security through defense research collaborations and workforce training, positioning the university as a key player in both energy independence and technological innovation.

Legionnaires’ Disease Cases Rise in NC

North Carolina health officials are warning of a significant increase in Legionnaires’ disease cases after the state recorded 310 cases in 2025, up by more than 50% from the 201 cases recorded in 2024.

The serious lung infection is a severe form of pneumonia caused by Legionella bacteria, which thrive in warm, moist environments like hot tubs, cooling towers, fountains, and poorly maintained water systems. It doesn’t spread person-to-person; rather, people contract it by inhaling contaminated mist or vapor.

Higher-risk groups include adults age 50 and older, smokers, and those with chronic conditions or weakened immune systems. Symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and muscle aches.

Officials urge prevention through regular maintenance of water systems by flushing unused faucets, cleaning hot tubs, and draining hoses.
