We’ve made some changes and plan to make more under the “Pages” section of Home in Henderson (to the left of your screen) in order to improve our service to our readers. Please give them a look in the coming days. We heard that Tony Oakes resigned his position at Southern Vance High School yesterday. What are your thoughts on that? Let us know on today’s open line.

Give the gift of life
Don’t forget the blood drive today from 10:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the Auditorium and Classroom of Maria Parham Medical Center.
Thursday’s open line
It has clearly come to the attention of our readers that an employee within the Vance County Schools system has been accused of using racially derisive language towards students while discharging his official duties. While Home in Henderson avoids the use of racially charged language wherever possible, we understand that the use of such language is sometimes necessary for the purpose of a frank, honest, and open discussion of the issues.

Wednesday’s open line
The FAIR Committee will meet today at 3:00 p.m. at City Hall. The Land Planning and Development Committee will not be meeting today. What do you think of the city’s cost-cutting measures so far? Let your opinion be known on today’s open line.
Tuesday’s open line
We were interested to see that the county has (provisionally) stepped up to meet the funding request of the library for this fiscal year. Unfortunately, we were not able to cover last night’s meeting, but you can read about it here. What are your thoughts on this or any other issue? Let us know on today’s open line.
Two arrested in shooting, other wanted
Arrested shooting suspect Jonathan Jordan. At 1:21 PM on Wednesday, March 29, 2006 Henderson Police were called to the 900 Block of Winder Street to investigate a report of a person having been shot.
Monday’s open line
The Public Works Committee is scheduled to meet at 9:00 a.m. at City Hall. The County Commission is scheduled to meet at 6:00 in its chambers in the old courthouse. We’ll be unable to cover today’s meeting, so anyone who would like to post their impressions of the session is invited to do so below. We’re especially interested in the next installment of the zoning debate. With that, the floor is yours.
Weekend open line
We wonder if there is a third option to ownership of the library: re-privatization. We understand that the library was once an independent entity. Perhaps it can be again. What are your thoughts? Let them be known on our weekend open line.
