1. ANNOUNCEMENT OF CANDIDACY: Haywood County attorney, Caleb Rogers, has announced his candidacy for District Court Judge (Bryant seat) in the upcoming judicial race. (2/8/10)

2. 6-MONTH CALENDAR CHANGES: Yesterday, Judge Davis issued an order significantly changing the 6-month calendar for the week of March 1, 2010. My Haywood County jury, non-jury term has been cancelled. Similarly, Judge Walker's Macon County jury, non-jury and domestic relations calendar has been cancelled. Judge Walker will assume Judge Davis's schedule for the week, with the exception of Thursday, March 4, when Judge Walker will have an administrative day.

3. DISTRICT COURT JUDGES' ELECTION: Judge Davis has asked that I post an announcement for him to let you know that he too will not be seeking re-election in 2010. (2/1/10).

4. DISTRICT COURT JUDGES' ELECTION: I don't guess that it's really newsworthy at this point, but given that the filing period for election of district court judges opens in a week (February 8, 2010), I thought I would take this occasion to formally announce that I will not be seeking re-election in 2010. (1/31/10)

5. NEW ATTORNEY: Rick Queen, a native of Sylva, NC, has opened an office in Waynesville. Rick graduated from Western Carolina with a math degree and then served as a USMC officer and pilot in both Desert Storm and Mogadishu, Somalia. Rick received his J.D. from Wake Forest Law School and subsequently practiced law in Asheville, NC. He later joined KPMG, LLP, a global tax and accounting firm. In September of last year he decided to return home. Rick will be specializing in estates, probate and business law. His office is located at 52 Walnut Street, Suite 5, Waynesville, NC 28786. His office phone number is 828.550.8487. You can email Rick at rickqueenpa@gmail.com . I have updated the Haywood County Directory to reflect this new information. (1/23/10)

6. NEW CONTACT INFORMATION: I earlier announced that Asst. D.A., Rachel Groffsky, would be assigned to the Swain County office. I have received word from Rachel that she is now headed to the Haywood County office. Her new telephone number is 454.6510. Sybil Mann will be the resident D.A. for Swain County. I have updated both the Haywood County and Swain County directories to reflect these changes (1/23/10)

7. JOB OPPORTUNITY - HAYWOOD CO. DSS ATTORNEY: The Haywood County Department of Social Services is looking for a new attorney.

The Haywood DSS has provided me with some information regarding this position and how to apply for it.. To access this information, click here. (1/21/10)

8. 6-MONTH CALENDAR CHANGES: Because of Judge Vanhook's return to the second phase of the New Judges' School during the week of February 22, 2010, there will be several changes to the 6-month calendar.

9. NEW CONTACT INFORMATION: Macon County Asst. D.A., Jason Arnold has changed his email address (again). You can now email Jason at tjasonarnold@verizon.net.
