Do the damn thing, come hell or high water. @SmokyMtnNews hasn’t missed a weekly print edition in its 25 years, and I’m happy to say that due to a ton of hard work and some luck, that streak will continue.

I wonder if any of Cawthorn's former staffers might want to do some interviews ...

If GOP Rep. Byron Donalds runs for governor or leaves for the Trump admin, there are already several former members eyeing his Florida seat: —Chris Collins, who served prison time for insider trading —Madison Cawthorn, who had a brief & controversial career in Congress

Now begins the process to see who will gain the appointment for Wijewickrama's soon-to-be vacant Chief District Court seat. Seems likely that will be the Stein administration's first judicial appointment. smokymountainnews.com/news/item/3869…


Judicial musical chairs in #WNC continues ... current Chief District Court Judge Roy Wijewickrama has been appointed to the superior court seat vacated by Brad Letts, who left to become EBCI's Chief Justice. There's been a ton of turnover in this district in the last 18 months

The region is in mourning following #HurricaneHelene — but the rebuilding process may offer a once-in-a-generation opportunity to save the lives of future travelers on I-40. Here's my latest, on the cover of @SmokyMtnNews, for @Smokies_Life smokymountainnews.com/outdoors/item/…

One of the best stories of college hoops opening week: The Columbia Lions. @CULionsMBB is 3-0 for the first time since 2005 and getting led by dynamic guard Geronimo Rubio De La Rosa. The win over Villanova was their first over a Big East team in 12 years. Jim Engles is awesome.

Possibly my proudest journalistic endeavor has been telling the stories of several Haywood County Vietnam veterans. In hindsight, it seems so brave of these men to be vulnerable enough to tell their stories with such candor. Here's one of my favorites. themountaineer.com/news/blinded-b…


The time I hosted a podcast where BearWaters owner Kevin Sandefur and Canton Mayor @ZebSmathers talked about recovering from a devastating flooding that hit Canton. Now, here we are again.

I’m sorry I couldn’t properly lead to this beautiful tribute the @CollegeGameDay put together. Really wanted to thank all of you for the avalanche of love and support you’ve shown Ben. It gives me and my family such comfort knowing how he impacted so many peoples lives around the…

One of the (many) things to watch tonight as the results come in in #ncpol is the ballot roll-off--right now, ~4% fewer people are voting for Governor than President in NC.
