So many questions.
Haywood County, along with the rest of the nation, has been thunderstruck by the rapid-fire changes resulting from the novel coronavirus that’s rocked the world.
An informed electorate is an electorate best-suited to vote in its own interests.
A week ago when Haywood County Public Health Director Patrick Johnson said the coronavirus situation was “rapidly evolving,” he hit the nail on the head.
Tuesday is Primary Election Day in North Carolina. It is an event that’s been in the forefront of news coverage, and on election night, The Mountaineer will be hanging in there to provide up-to-the-minute updates in elections ranging from congressional primaries to county commissioner primaries.
On Monday, The Mountaineer is launching its newest product, a podcast titled “Inside Haywood.”
North Carolina will be one of the “Super Tuesday” states that help determine the 2020 election lineup. Voting is already underway and will last until the Saturday before the March 3 election.
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.

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.
