Thanks to the holidays and the dreaded post-holiday publication, we have been away from this blogging thing for awhile. We've got a busy week coming up, with no fewer than four things taking placing Monday night with two reporters (and the GM) to cover them. There's a slew of weekend activities (see the paper or Word for some of them), and plenty of major issues to be covered in the coming weeks. On tap for next week's paper:
• Pictures of this weekend's activities: The town parade and tree-lighting; the Daniel Boone craft fair, gingerbread house contest and home tour; a Habitat home build event; and some education items.
• I will have a look at crime numbers over the past year in Hillsborough, which have taken a turn in a surprising direction.
• I'll have a story on another county non-profit hoping to keep its key programs viable.
• On Monday night, we have 1) The Elizabeth Brady Road bypass public hearing, 2) County commissioners' decision on a waste transfer station and 3) The first school board meeting in a month.
The Brady meeting will be my hangout, and judging from Monday turnout at a town information session (I was there but stuck in the back hallway because of a lack of seats and a stomach bug), it will be a doozy. Vanessa will be at the commissioners' meeting, and we'll figure out how to clone someone to cover the other things that night.
As part of our Year-in-Review issue, we want to know what you thought the biggest local story was in 2009 (a few nominees might not have happened yet). Send your thoughts to me at josh.kastrinsky(at)newsoforange.com or editorial(at)newsoforange.com, and I will keep them jotted down as we compile the list.
Enjoy this lovely day and thanks for reading.
See what ended up on The News of Orange County's cutting room floor.
