Kristi Haworth, a former Carson care facility employee, was arrested Friday for elder abuse after video footage showed her hitting an 83-year-old resident at a memory care facility—she now faces charges of abuse of an elderly person, criminal neglect and battery—her bail is set at $5,000.

Fairbanks will work full-time to bridge the gap between WNC campuses for pre-nursing and nursing students.

Carson High School softball begins its season under first-year head coach Ellise McGowan, a 2013 alumna who coached the JV team last season and replaces Scott Vickrey, who ended 2024 with a 7-21 record.
