COMMUNITY WATCH

At the base of Staymon you'll see a tan GMC Envoy with a badly cracked windshield, some body damage, and no tag.  It's mine.  Nationwide is sending someone to pick it up today, supposedly, since they totaled it as a result of those high winds two Saturdays ago. (Ah, gotta love the way insurance works...or not.)

But I thought this would be a good time to remind our newer residents that we have what I think is a good community watch program - and it's nothing more than each of us being vigilant when we see things, vehicles, people out of place.  It's always wise to keep a pen and paper handy to write down tag numbers and/or descriptions, time stamps, etc. should you need to contact the sheriff's office, board members, etc.

The Haywood County Sheriff's office makes an effort to pass through every now and then, and were hugely helpful when we had to deal with our infestation of nefarious motorcycle thugs last year.  Keep their number handy and put it in your phone if you haven't already done so:

Haywood Sheriff:  828-452-6666

Looks like we're done with any more freezing temps.  Time to enjoy the greening of our wonderful mountainside!
