Community Builders
Thirteen-year-old Collin Edge has his eye on an Eagle Scout badge but his heart is clearly with helping children in need. His scout master of Troop 130 says he wasn't surprised when Collin told him he wanted to gather school supplies for kids in foster care. Scout Master Keith Henry says, "He is a very motivated scout. He always takes on each task with a lot of heart, a lot of energy." Liz Edge says their family wasn't complete until after they adopted two kids from foster care.Now it's a full house with kids from ages 8 to age 15. "Our family has become very conscious that there are so many kids in need right here in the United States," says Edge. Which is why Collin feels it's so important to make sure foster kids have every necessary item. "My family we took care of kids in foster care and they came literally with nothing, except for what they were wearing," says Collin. He is hoping people in the community will step up to the plate and donate. Collin says, "Backpacks, calculators, pencils and anything you think a kid would need for school." Not only is Collin helping children in Carteret County but he is also a great role model for his own siblings. You can help Collin with his project by dropping off school supplies at Morehead City Middle School or at Saint Egbert Catholic Church.

Officials Spray for Mosquitoes
While the recent rain is good for the drought, it's causing problems with mosquitoes. Craven County Vector Control will be out fogging for mosquitoes this week. Officials say it will happen during dawn and dusk, when most people are indoors. They say the chemicals are safer than in the past but if you see flashing lights or hear a rumbling machine, just go inside.

More Storms Today, Damage Reports from Tuesday's Storms
Another stormy day in the east, you may have heard some thunder. Those thunder claps brought heavy rains and lightning with them to many places in the area. There are no reports of major damage and no injuries. Some places saw as many as one to two inches of rain this afternoon. And the storms we saw yesterday caused major damage for some farmers in the east. This tobacco crop in Fountain was ruined by hail, most of it half an inch to even golf ball sized hail. Several other people reported crop damage around that area as well. People there say the hail came out of nowhere. "Couple bolts of lightning, some thunder and then ice, that's all you saw was ice coming down everywhere," Renee McGraw said. McGraw says parts of the home and several cars were also damaged. No word yet on how much the crop damages cost.
