What's coming

We have had to make some adjustments because of space shrinkage in this week's issue, but here's what we know is coming (or will be writing with every intention of publishing it):

• UNC Health Care has entered into a tentative agreement to buy 85 acres in Waterstone. Find out what we know so far about the proposal and some of the questions Mayor Tom Stevens has about the land use.

• The rail station task force (actually a larger task force) is bringing its desire for funding to their legislative representatives for help to get the project moving. Find out why Hillsborough and Lexington officials feel that this project is crucial now and in the future.

• Town board members will discuss a contract for the wastewater treatment plant expansion design. How will the economy affect plans to move forward with the project?

• Another suspect has been arrested in connection with a March 14 murder on Butler Road, Orange County's first of the year. We'll have some details.

• The much-publicized Tax Revolt meeting takes place tonight; expect to see coverage from Vanessa, who might be camping out Krzyzewskiville-style for tonight's meeting at Orange High. Also, county numbers show that the number of revaluation appeals are at less than 4 percent. Read Wednesday for a full recap.

• Local parents and education officials are considering forming a chapter of SEPTA, which focuses on the needs of Exceptional Students. Vanessa has more details on the group's scope.

• A.L. Stanback students heard the story of Gizella Abramson, a Holocaust survivor from Raleigh. Read about her amazing story.

Happy Monday — enjoy the weather for me.
