The Mountaineer has been featuring small businesses unique to Haywood — and the entrepreneurs who work countless hours to make them a success.
The Mountaineer’s first-ever weekend paper was published last week. We are encouraged by the feedback we have received so far, but we want you to know it is a work in progress.
As with every year, 2019 was an eventful one in Haywood.
As Christmas nears, travel arrangements are being made, special menus are being planned and last-minute shopping is likely on the agenda of many.
At a recent board meeting, Haywood County leaders heard good news about the future of the White Oak landfill.
A story in last week's paper spoke about the rising levels of suicide in our society, particularly (and most disturbingly) among the young.
It’s been 15 months since The Mountaineer has had an interview with Rep. Mark Meadows, and that’s not by choice.
Early voting has begun in municipal elections across the county. There are no contested races in Canton and Clyde, but there appears to be widespread interest in the contested races in Maggie Valley and Waynesville.
The recent story on the 210-unit apartment complex being planned between downtown Waynesville and Russ Avenue, the town’s fast-food, grocery and retail area, has drawn plenty of criticism.
Hats off to the Waynesville Recreation Center for seeing a community need and stepping forward to address it.
Anyone who has closely followed the news during 2019 knows that builders are in varying stages of adding about 450 new apartment units in Haywood County.
From the Editor
Two meetings last week got me thinking about entrenched ways of looking at issues and how much different — and better — our society might be if we could break away from those mindsets.
State Column
RALEIGH — Almost exactly one year ago, South Carolina’s state senate was presented with a measure to raise the default age at which those accused of committing crimes were treated as adults rather than as juveniles. For decades, that age had been 16 in South Carolina.

Golly. Will that mean Meadows will actually have to campaign and may even have a town hall meeting before the election???

I, too, would like to see a link to the webcam, but so far all I can see if a still picture.

Is there a link on the mountaineer page to the web cam?
