OPINIONS ᏃᎵᏍᎬᎢ
COMMENTARY: The Squeaky wheel gets the grease…
One of the most important things we can do as citizens of this region is to support our community.
COMMENTARY: We have all been here before….
I’ve watched the highlights of both Democrat and Republican conventions and the contrast is truly amazing.
COMMENTARY: Don’t move rocks in tribal, park waterways
I drive by the Oconaluftee River, on the Qualla Boundary, multiple times daily and I frequently take walks on the Oconaluftee River Trail in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It seems that as tourism increases in late spring and summer, a practice increases – one that damages river ecosystems for many species…moving and stacking rocks.

ON THE SIDELINES: End gender pay disparities now
It bugs me to no end to see pay disparities between men and women no matter if it is in the business world or the world of professional sports.
ON THE SIDELINES: We want to beat our opponents, not hurt them
During the summer months, I spend more time in the stands than on the sidelines. This past weekend, while in the stands watching my daughter’s roller derby bout at the U.S. Cellular Center in Asheville I got to thinking about the sportsmanship shown across almost every sport when someone is shaken up or hurt.
