The Henderson City Council voted at its regular Monday night meeting this week to change to a once-per-month meeting schedule. There is a six month time frame in mind to try the reduced number of meetings, but it can be changed back to the twice-per-month routine at anytime. Two council people present voted against the idea.
Councilwoman Sara Coffey told WIZS News, “Brenda Peace and I voted to keep it twice per month because we don’t feel like meeting once per month is a fair representation of the City, to handle City business.” She said, “Especially with a new City manager, and you’ll have new people coming on the council. Meeting once a month is not going to be enough.”
The City will also have a new mayor. Mayor-elect Eddie Ellington has already started attending the meetings, and he was present for the vote, although just as an observer. Ellington said, “I kind of have mixed feelings on it. I guess we’re just going to have to wait to see how it works out.”
The City Council’s move takes place post election, except for next week’s runoff between Brenda Peace and Melissa Elliott as well as between Marion Brodie Williams and Clarence J. Dale, but before the new mayor and at least one new member comes to the board, if not two new members.
Ellington said he understood what Mayor Pete O’Geary was saying about it being beneficial to the City staff because they would not have to be there twice per month, but, Ellington said, “then again you want to make sure you get the City’s business done, and you don’t know how easy it is going to be with one meeting per month. It’s always been twice a month, so I don’t know why now it’s some kind of burden.”
Coffey said, “I don’t want anybody thinking that I’m not doing my job for the City, and as far as I’m concerned, once a month is not nearly enough to handle City business. Now during the summer when everybody is on vacation, and we’re not meeting half the time, I mean I could see changing it during the summer time, but not during regular time.”
With only one meeting per month, it would result in a longer agenda, and it could mean less time for the public to speak to the council, in the meeting setting anyway, on issues they are having.
Ellington said, “I respect their vote, but I just don’t know how easy it’s going to be to stay on top of things with once per month meetings.”
WIZS News has left messages with additional council people for comment, and those comments will be added once received, although the position of the council people present at the meeting other than Peace and Coffey is not unknown because they voted for the once per month meeting schedule.

In a brief phone interview with Henderson City Manager Frank Frazier Tuesday morning, Frazier said the process of selecting a fire chief for the Henderson Fire Department continues. He said he has a couple of interviews set up for next week and that a decision could come as early as the end of next week.
August 31 was the date that former Fire Chief Danny Wilkerson retired after 40 years of service to the department and 16 years as chief. Assistant Fire Chief Steve Cordell is serving as Interim Fire Chief during the application and selection process.
Frazier previously told WIZS News that he had “received 11 applications from human resources that (he was) reviewing. There are several internal applicants. Besides the internal applicants, most of the other applicants are not local.”
One of those 11 applications is that of Interim Fire Chief Cordell. Cordell expressed his excitement about being selected as the interim chief. He said, “I would love to be the next fire chief and to provide the leadership needed to move the department forward.”
Frazier said, “The City of Henderson Fire Department has maintained a very good record and has been actively involved in the community for many years, so we certainly want that to continue. Our department has experienced a good amount of retirement of seasoned firefighters, so it will be important for the new chief to provide leadership to insure that training and other aspects of running the fire department are passed on to the newer firefighters.”
Cordell said, if selected as chief, he would love to continue the good things going on in the department and the opportunity to carry the department successfully into the future.
The interviews for the new chief are being conducted by Frazier as well as the human resources director.

The 60-day deadline to fill Eddie L. Wright’s District 5 Vance County Commission Seat is November 9. Archie B. Taylor, Chairman of the Vance County Board of Commissioners, sent a request to the chairman of the local Democratic party asking for the names of individuals good for the position who fulfill the requirements. Betty Boyd, who is the Third Vice Chair and in charge of publicity, told WIZS News, “We met last Thursday night (Oct 15) at Perry Library. Four candidates made a three minute speech. Leo Kelly received the nomination to serve the unexpired term of the late Eddie Wright.”
Vance County Clerk to the Board Kelly Grissom said, “It will go to the board on November 2. If they decide to appoint him, it would be done during that meeting. Then, he would be sworn in during the board’s December 7 meeting.”
The board is not bound by state statute to appoint Kelly, but all indications to date seem to suggest the Vance County Board of Commissioners will accept the Democratic Party’s nomination.
Commissioner Tommy Hester, who is Republican, said, “My personal opinion is, yes, I do expect that, but I’m only one vote. And my vote is to go along with that because that’s up to the Democrats. If that’s the recommendation, I’m going to vote for it. I can only talk for myself. If (Mr. Kelly) is who the Democratic party is recommending, that’s the normal procedure, and that would be who I think we should go with.”
Hester spoke of knowing Kelly for a longtime, his respect for Kelly and that Kelly “is an excellent person.”
Kelly was a longtime Dean at Vance Granville Community College. A news article published by the college in 2009 quotes VGCC’s president at the time, Randy Parker, as saying, “Leo Kelly is the longest-serving full-time employee in the history of our college, and his dedicated leadership has made an enormous difference in the lives of so many people in our communities.”
Whoever is appointed will fill the seat for approximately one year because the district 5 seat was already due for election in 2016 anyway. At that point, if the appointee chooses to run for the seat, he or she will either be elected or defeated by a challenger.
Wright was first elected in 2000. He served on the Granville-Vance Public Health District Board and was a minister of a local church.
Soon after Wright’s death, the news was not as much about this process or who the appointee would be, but rather more about Wright himself. At that time, Taylor said Wright’s death had come as a shock to him as it had to many others. While Wright had suffered from joint ailments for years, no one in the public seemed to expect his death.
Taylor said, “The county is going to feel his abscence. He was a man of great faith and spiritual beliefs, an elder of the church, a pastor and preacher, and he was a champion of the little man. He was definately wanting of a better quality of life for everyone in this county. He was a great advocate for those who didn’t have a voice. He is going to be missed.
“His voice of reason and compassion will be missed. He showed his faith by his work. (Wright) had a very supportive family during this illness. They have been extremely supportive of him and that speaks highly of them and their spiritual values.”
As for the laws governing the appointment to Wright’s seat, Vance County Attorney Jonathan Care provided WIZS News with the North Carolina General Statute. N.C. G. S. 153a-27 essentially means the newly appointed board member must be of the same political party, a resident of the same district, that the board shall consult the county executive committee of, in this case, the Democratic Party and, if an appointment is not made within 60 days, then the appointment is to be made by the Clerk of Court. Neither the board nor the clerk is bound by the Democratic Executive Committee’s recommendation.

Vance-Granville Community College, in partnership with the Project Life Movement and the “Save the Fox” campaign, is planning a four-county bone marrow registration drive in October.
Members of the community are invited to join VGCC students, faculty and staff at one of four events being held on each of the college’s campuses: Monday, Oct. 26, from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. in the student lounge in Building 2 on Main Campus in Vance County; Tuesday, Oct. 27, from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. in the multi-purpose room on the Franklin County Campus near Louisburg; Wednesday, Oct. 28, from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. in the seminar room (G1131) on South Campus, located between Creedmoor and Butner; and Thursday, Oct. 29, from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. in Building 2 on the Warren County Campus in Warrenton.
There will also be a station set up outside on each campus to assist visitors from the community.
At each event, participants will have their cheek swabbed to provide DNA that will enter a growing bone marrow donor registry. The painless registration process takes only a few minutes, but could save a life if a participant turns out to be a match for someone in need of a bone marrow transplant. Such treatments are the only hope for many people diagnosed with leukemia, lymphoma, sickle cell anemia and other blood cancers and diseases. Around 60 percent of those in need of a donation currently cannot find a donor match, according to Project Life, a national movement that started with students at Davidson College and has spread to more than 25 other schools.
Project Life supports a local campaign called “Save the Fox,” named after North Carolina Superior Court Judge Carl Fox of Orange County. Judge Fox was diagnosed with blood cancer in April and needs a bone marrow transplant.
Participants must be between the ages of 18 and 55 and in good health to join the registry. A video from Project Life featuring Carolina Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly is posted online at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKVegqJS7hI to demonstrate the easy cheek swab process.
“We are excited that students are taking the initiative on this drive,” said VGCC academic & career coach Seletha Pherribo, who is helping to organize the events. Nicholas Kemp of Franklinton, a Radiography student, is coordinating the drive at the college’s South Campus, while Associate Degree Nursing student Erica Medlin of Oxford is coordinating it on Main Campus. Medical Assisting students at VGCC’s Franklin Campus are taking the lead there. The Student Government Association and other student organizations will also be supporting the effort. “We hope to make this an annual tradition at VGCC, and register as many members of our community as possible,” Pherribo added. “As the ‘Save the Fox’ campaign says, ‘together, we can save lives.’”
Anyone who is unable to attend one of the VGCC events but wants to join the registry can find more information at www.deletebloodcancer.org.

VGCC to hold Bone Marrow Registration events
/by WIZS StaffVance-Granville Community College, in partnership with the Project Life Movement and the “Save the Fox” campaign, is planning a four-county bone marrow registration drive in October.
Members of the community are invited to join VGCC students, faculty and staff at one of four events being held on each of the college’s campuses: Monday, Oct. 26, from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. in the student lounge in Building 2 on Main Campus in Vance County; Tuesday, Oct. 27, from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. in the multi-purpose room on the Franklin County Campus near Louisburg; Wednesday, Oct. 28, from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. in the seminar room (G1131) on South Campus, located between Creedmoor and Butner; and Thursday, Oct. 29, from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. in Building 2 on the Warren County Campus in Warrenton.
