What were your top stories of 2007?
The Daily Advance just published in Sunday’s printed edition and on Daily Advance.com a list of our “Top 10” news stories of 2007. These stories were selected by our staff. But I’m wondering what stories readers might have selected as the best or most important stories of 2007. Tell me: What were your favorite stories?
Deer hunting with dogs on the run
We’ve gotten quite a bit of feedback about our story on a petition drive in Pasquotank County to make it illegal to both hunt on posted land and allow hunting dogs to trespass on private property without the owner’s written permission. Some residents and property owners, wanting to protect property rights, are sympathetic to the cause. On the other side, many hunters who use dogs in their sport don’t agree or would like to find a compromise. What are your thoughts?
Illegal immigrants at COA
It must have slipped under my radar that in 2004 the state’s community colleges had been given the option of admitting or not admitting illegal immigrants as students. College of the Albemarle was among those that chose not to admit them. Now the ruling has been changed, requiring all colleges to open their doors to those now living illegally in this country. Is that good or bad?
