Problematic Early Voting in Ashe County or Voter Intimidation in the High Country

Last updated on: October 20, 2020 at 10:01 pm By Jeff Hood

Problematic Early Voting in Ashe County or Voter Intimidation in the High Country We were prepared. We registered weeks ago. We researched the candidates. We got up early this morning. We argued a bit. We drove for almost an hour to get to the county seat of Jefferson. We pulled into the parking lot. We located the building. We put on our masks. We got in line. We social distanced. We waited for a moment to get into the building. We moved... Read more

The Morning Blast: Continued Harassment in Ashe County

Last updated on: October 15, 2020 at 11:38 pm By Jeff Hood

The Morning Blast: Continued Harassment in Ashe County Ashe County, North Carolina Exhaustion crept in. I resisted the urge to stop. I just wanted to get home. Every sign brought me closer and closer. I’d drive eleven hours to see my grandfather before his next chemo treatment. Though I’d do it all over again in a second, I needed sleep. Pulling up to our home…and barely taking the time to turn out the lights…I drug myself to... Read more

PSA: Friends don’t let friends befriend the police.

Last updated on: October 6, 2020 at 11:02 pm By Jeff Hood

Based on his many friendships with police, it’s not hard to imagine that Jonathan Price was relieved to see the blue lights pull up. For some time, Price had been trying to help a woman who was being brutalized in a domestic situation. An officer that he did not know jumped out. Despite his best intentions to explain, Price was immediately a suspect/target. A short time later, he was dead. The hero quickly became the victim. Wolfe... Read more

The Tree of Life: Remembering my Friend, Mitch Mitchell: Reporter for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram Earlier today, I delivered a brief electronic eulogy at his funeral. Death is not a respecter of persons. It comes for us all. Sooner or later, we will die. Of this we can be sure. Mitch Mitchell was not unaware of this fact. In fact, he embraced it. Every day, he treated each encounter as if it might be... Read more

Threats & Consequences at 3:20am: An Update from Ashe County It is the dead of night. I can’t sleep. I thought I had escaped living like this. Now, I know this will never be true. The clock ticks. The huge plate glass window seems to be my only comfort. The authors of various evils lurk in the darkness. I can hear their words. I know they’re close. They have been close since we got here. I thought that... Read more

The Burning Brush

Last updated on: September 23, 2020 at 12:19 am By Jeff Hood

There was a brush fire on Mount Horeb. Moses was stumbling around grazing some animals when God found him. The call was not soft. In fact, the call couldn’t have been much louder. Moses started to approach the noise. Was he going crazy? Could he trust such sounds? Was he hearing things? I don’t know that he knew. Honestly, I don’t know that he cared. I think the only thing that he was certain of is that he had... Read more

Ashe County, North Carolina: Racism Definitely Lives Here.

Last updated on: September 21, 2020 at 10:03 pm By Jeff Hood

Ashe County, North Carolina: Racism Definitely Lives Here. You wouldn’t think it would matter that much…it does. For close to ten years, we lived in a place where all we had to do to dispose of our garbage was roll it down to the curb. Since we moved up in the mountains, we have to drive our garbage to a collection site. I probably go a couple of times per week. Interestingly enough, these collection sites can turn into...
