- Remembering those who were lost: Two local services have been scheduled in Statesville for the victims of the tragic shooting at Virginia Tech earlier this week..
Today at 12 noon, Mitchell Community college students will gather on the courtyard of the Statesville campus for a moment of silence to honor the students. (New staff writer Megan Sprague will cover this event. Contact her at msprague@statesville.com)
First Presbyterian Church, 125 N. Meeting St., will hold a community prayer service at 7 p.m. Friday. This service is open to all.

Here are a couple of stories we're working on today:

- A helping hand: Anna Howard has been helping anyone who shows up at her door for going on 20 years. Read about her incredible contributions to our community in Friday's faith section.

- Not dead yet: I-SS Superintendent Terry Holliday says reports that a plan to convert the Dana manufacturing plant into an educational complex are dead are premature. School officials will continue to try to convince the county commission that it's a good plan for taxpayers and students. (To contribute to this story, contact staff writer Chyna Broadnax a cbroadnax@statesville.com.)

Thanks for reading,

Mike
