Forever Free: Slave Deeds of Buncombe County, NC
BUNCOMBE SLAVE DEEDS EXHIBIT
The Buncombe County Register of Deeds Office has opened an exhibit to commemorate the 150-year anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation and to remember those who were enslaved and their immeasurable contributions to our community.
The exhibit, located in the lobby of 35 Woodfin Street in Downtown Asheville, will be on display through April 30. The exhibit will move to the NC Collection of the Pack Memorial Library from May 1 - July 31.
In every county in North Carolina, the Register of Deeds played a role in cataloging the transactions of slavery in handwritten books. Contained in these handwritten files from the early 1800s are deeds documenting the trading of slaves as property.
One of the stories highlighted in the Slave Deed exhibit is of a slave named Sarah Gudger. Ms. Gudger was born into slavery in Old Fort, North Carolina but spent the majority of her life in Reems Creek. Her story is one of the only first-hand accounts that we have of slavery in Buncombe County.
Buncombe County displays this documentation for the purpose of historical research, family genealogy, education, and to acknowledge that slavery was a part of our County's history.

Blue Ridge Parkway Paintings : Kendall Kessler tells her Story
Blue Ridge Parkway Artist
In two minutes I tell my story, my artwork and my goals. I have a large collection of my artwork in this video and talk about where I have come from and where I am going!
Links to see more of my work!
Transcript
Hi. I'm Kendall Kessler. I am a professional artist and I am painfully shy which is why I don't want to turn the camera on myself.
For twenty years I stood in front of large groups of college students and pretended I didn't want to run out the door while I felt my low blood pressure become high blood pressure.
Now I sell my originals and prints online. Some of them are recent, some of them are fairly recent, and others date back to the beginning of time.
It is my dream to have my artwork all over the world and to support my husband's naturalist efforts. Clyde Kessler is the most knowledgeable person I have ever known and I believe he can solve environmental problems - and he can do that without harming industry.
Yes, he is that smart!
I paint in many directions which does not make me crazy, just versatile but my main emphasis is what people like to call The Blue Ridge Mountains.
Actually, as Clyde has pointed out to me over and over again, The Blue Ridge is just a small strip of mountains of Virginia and North Carolina, but why confuse people?
Okay, Blue Ridge Mountain paintings and paintings of mountains near The Blue Ridge that look exactly like the Blue Ridge.
My style is unique to me but it has a lot in common with The Impressionists and the Expressionists. I have lost count of the times my work has been compared to the work of Vincent Van Gogh. Yes, I have both ears, for now.
Here are some more expressive works and here are some abstracts. Artists and people I love consider these paintings to be like music without words. Others call them canvasses without paintings.
Anyway, please buy and original or print, preferably an original. I live to paint but I can't take them with me.
Links to the artwork are above this transcript.

Fifteen Children Found Living in Trailer
Fifteen children, ranging from just an infant to 13-year-old, are in state custody after deputies say they were living in dangerous conditions in a small trailer.
The seven adults living there have been charged by the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office with Unlawful Neglect of a Child--Aaron Eugene Dodson, Brianna Hope Henderson, David Russell Hayes, Karen Lynn Dunbar, Andy Lee Dunbar, Cindy Ann Cox and Cherie Rose Toney. Deputies say the relationship between all seven adults is unclear, though they pointed out one of the men has a current and former girlfriend there, and they are parents of 11 of the 15 children.
Deputies say at least 10 dogs and 4 cats were also living in the home at the end of Hunter Road near Woodruff in Spartanburg County.
Neighbors like Sherri James say they had no idea. No, I had no clue that was going on, James said. You never see any children out that way, coming down this road, and to have that many children in one area and not see them is very strange.
The investigation began when school officials notified deputies after a teacher made a startling and graphic discovery.
One of the things the lead investigator told me this morning is that a teacher was trying to help one of the children in the bathroom, and a cockroach crawled out of the child's underwear, Lt. Kevin Bobo said.
Warrants say deputies found children playing in an above-ground pool with water colored green they say from the growth of algae and lack of chemicals.
Inside the house, deputies found urine and animal feces throughout the trailer, medications scattered around and unsecured guns within the reach of children.
[The] situation could have been a whole lot worse, especially if one of the young children got a hold of the firearm, Lt. Bobo said.
By law, there will be a family court hearing within 72 hours. There, a judge will decide whether there was probably cause to remove the children.

FUMS 015 - Country Music Singer Julie Roberts and Her MS Journey
Humble, kind, unassuming - those are just a few words I'd use to describe my guest today, country music singer Julie Roberts. I'd also say talented, brave, loving, strong and selfless. Hers is an amazing story - from a small town in South Carolina where she, her sisters and her mother were victims of domestic abuse, to Nashville, Tennessee making gold records, to a stage in Asheville, North Carolina where she lost the feeling in her hands and her sight went blurry while on stage one evening! That led to her diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis. That's certainly not the end of this story: a Lifetime movie about her life - oh wait, that was put on hold; recording with Waylon Jenning's son Shooter Jennings; starting her own record label (Ain't Scared Records) with the insurance money from the flood - provided by State Farm Insurance; surviving a monumental (thousand year) flood and losing EVERYTHING (material); FINALLY (after 5 years) accepting her diagnosis and starting treatment; to recording a new album (I Think You Know) and writing a new book due out in September (Beauty In The Breakdown: Choosing to Overcome). Whew! This lady is busy. And an inspiration.

He does a lot of helping around the house For years he could do little else because of his condition, the diagnosis was skezo-affective disorder which is schizophrenia and bi-polar. He's also developmentally delayed.Kerri Eaker, in the beginning you're going well fix it. Give me a pill and fix it. There comes a point when you realize there's no fixin' you know way to fix this.He's been in and out of 17 hospitals over his 22 years, and recently things got worst.In the past six years alone her husband Darrell, passed away, Kerri faced fought breast cancer, and it appeared Dakota would have to be placed in an institution.It's my faith that gets me through but I've also got so many people that support us.Now she works with others who know what it means to feel alone. She coordinates events through the family support network, a program of Mission Children's Hospital.Roxann Colwell, Program Manager, it's important because it eases the challenges along the way.The 12 year old son of Ray Hemachandra is autistic, he would injure himself and has trouble communicating.

Bridges Out of Proverty - 720p 1 2.mov
The University of North Carolina at Pembroke Healthy Start CORPS clients participated in a Bridges Out of Poverty, Getting Ahead in a Just-Gettin'-By World training class. The Bridges Out of Poverty work is based on this definition of poverty: Poverty is the extent to which an individual does without resources. For example, one might experience financial poverty, yet be rich in human compassion or social capital. During the class, attendees analyzed economic class environments and the similarities of our experiences and joined as investigators rather than simply participants to identify hidden rules and resources that help us work together to build on our strengths. During this 15 session journey, classes were held at the UNCP Regional Center to research the topic of poverty and what investigators learned was astounding. On participant, Fantasia said, Most people you meet don't even know what poverty is, nor do they realize they are living in it. Robeson County ranks first in North Carolina in the percentage of people living under the poverty line, and 80th in the U.S. out of 3,143 counties, according the a front page article in The Robesonian on Sunday, January 22. (Four days later, the story had received almost 3,750 views at the newspaper's online site.)
Sandy Blythe Talks About Husband's Homicide
YOUR DESCRIPTION HAS REACHED THE LIMIT OF CHARACTERS ALLOWED AND WAS CUT. TRANSYLVANIA COUNTY, N.C. -- After nearly two weeks of investigation and questions surrounding her husband's death, Sandy Blythe spoke exclusively with New 13 Thursday night, to publicly tell her story of what she said happened in Asheville Friday afternoon December 5th. She said she feels Buncombe County Sheriffs investigators, Transylvania County Sheriffs investigators, State Bureau of Investigation officials and Brevard Police investigators need to do more to find two men she said caused her to accidentally shoot her husband in a Sandy Bottom Park.
Blythe said her husband Tim Grant had wanted to meet the two men before he had a doctors appointment at 3pm at the Veterans Hospital in Asheville. She said her husband wouldn't tell her why he wanted to meet the men but she said they drove to the park and met the men.
She described one as a tall blond man and another man as a stocky Hispanic man. But she could not give additional details. Blythe said she saw her husband arguing with the blond man and she stepped out of her Toyota Camry with her 38-caliber pistol. She said the blond man then came behind her and tried wrestling the gun from her. She said that's when the gun went off in her hand.
Reporter: Was the gun in your hand Sandy?
Blythe: Yes Ma'am...
Reporter: Did you see it fire into your husband Tim?

There was blood in the car: State Bureau of Investigation
TRANSYLVANIA COUNTY, N.C. -- SBI investigators tell News 13 detectives found blood evidence in Sandy Blythe's car that remains in police custody.
Transylvania County Sheriff detectives, Brevard Police, Buncombe county detectives and SBI investigators continue to look for leads to determine what led to the shooting death of Timothy Grant.
We do know he was killed Friday December 5th, said Assistant Special Agent Tom Ammons with the SBI.
The SBI was called in to assist with the case.
Blythe's car, a 2001 Beige Toyota Camry, is a key to solving the case.
There was blood inside the car, said Ammons. It was in the right passenger seat and on the floorboard.
Three Transylvania county Sheriffs detectives are working full time on the case, and two are assisting. But so far no criminal charges have been filed in the case.
When Blythe drove her husband to Transylvania Regional Hospital Friday Dec. 5, investigators said she could face charges for waiting so long to take him to a hospital.
Blythe said she and her husband had driven to Buncombe County to a park where her husband wanted to meet two men. According to a warrant, Blythe said she pulled out her gun to defend herself but one of the two men grabbed her from behind and the gun went off killing her husband. She then told investigators she went home to smoke, do dishes and then called a friend who met her and told her to take her husband who was deceased to the hospital.
I think the biggest thing right now is that we don't have the actual place where it occurred, said Ammons.
No shell casings were found in Blythe's car. Investigators have not been able to determine whether Blythe is telling the truth.
Ammons said Buncombe county investigators searched the park where she said she and her husband met the two suspects. But Ammons said no evidence at that scene was found to corroborate her story.
Ammons said the key is to determine if anyone saw Blythe in her car with her husband Tim Grant earlier on Dec. 5.
'There is no tip too small, said Ammons. There's a 2001 beige Toyota Camry. If someone saw anything on December 5th of 2014. If the car was seen parked on the side of the road, or with them together or apart. If that vehicle looks familiar to them at all. We want to know and try to establish that timeline.
Blythe has not given specific times to Brevard detectives who interviewed her. It is unclear if investigators have done any additional interviews or interrogations of Blythe since the time she was discovered with her husband dead in her car.
Anyone with information that could help investigators develop their case is asked to call the Transylvania County Sheriff's tip line at 828-862-7463.

Mother of Jailed Marine Visits Hendersonville
In a relentless fight to save her son from a foreign prison, Jill Tahmooressi paid a visit to Hendersonville Sunday hoping to get some help. Six months ago, Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi was arrested in Mexico for crossing the boarder with loaded firearms.
While there is controversy over whether charges should be dropped, Jill has grown her cause into a nation-wide conversation.
She met with a room packed with supporters Sunday afternoon in the historic Hendersonville courthouse.
Dear Andrew, you have been so brave and so strong, writes Helen Mannion of Hendersonville as she begins a letter to Andrew. Helen is one of dozens hoping to fill the void in Jill's life. The first step, they say, is filling the space on the stacks of notebook paper Jill brought along.
Dear Andrew, my heart goes out to you during this very trying time in your life, writes Mary Ellen Morrison. I am praying for you and your quick release from the Mexican prison.
Each letter will help the days pass faster for a marine thousands of miles away- one whom the letter writers have never even met.
I have sons and grandson. I can only feel the pain that you're going through, as well as your mom. We hope the best. We continue to pray so that you'll be home quickly, says Mary Ellen.
Jill says these letters help to connect her son to America has he waits on the possibility of his release. Jill has carried her flag of determination from Coast to Coast, but says she still can't summon words from her son's Commander in Chief.
I mean, if the public is this interested, I can only think that will infiltrate up to the executive levels of the White House, says Jill.
Still, six months of sharing her story on national television, with mayors, governors and senators has organized thousands of people to rally for her son's freedom. She has helped author a bill, HR620, that would release her son on the grounds that he needs treatment for his PTSD.
I'm sure she's going through a lot and I just have to admire her, says Pat Davis, who came to hear Jill speak. She's a really sweet lady and I don't know how she's holding up through it.
Jill will leave Western North Carolina this weekend with stacks of letters, a good sum of donated funds, and dozens more supporters as she continues her fight.
It just gives me great encouragement to know that I'm not alone. I'm not alone in my fight to try to help get Andrew free to America, says Jill.
HonorAir has raised more than $15,000 to help pay the Tahmooressi family's legal fees in handling Andrew's case. They also paid for the cost to fly Jill out here. If you'd like to donate, click here.
Andrew Tahmooressi has a hearing on Tuesday where a judge will review surveillance video from the border the night he was arrested.
