Pick of the day: Honoring Youth Services


The hype around town is about a team from Channel 11 (WTVD-TV) coming to the Vance-Granville Community College Civic Center tonight at 7 as a community outreach effort (read: a search for story ideas), but we’re not impressed. Why get excited just because Channel 11 acknowledges Henderson’s existence for once when there isn’t a murder or plant closing or major fire? If the ABC 11 folks want to find good stories, they could go to the Aycock Recreation Complex at 6 p.m. for a dinner marking the local Division of Youth Services’ 20th anniversary. It’s an invitation-only event, but we suspect Leon Robinson’s crew could make room for a TV camera.
