has called for Woodlief’s resignation. And Strickland called for the ouster of Tommy Marrow when Marrow was Oxford’s manager. And Strickland last week released copies of his book, “The Rest of the Story,” which has much to say about several persons in connection with Oxford government and politics, but is mainly critical of Woodlief, Wolford and Marrow. Woodlief, a retired broadcaster, has been mayor since 2001 and prior to that had been a city commissioner since 1987. Woodlief, who announced his candidacy in January, at the time said he would seek re-election because he believes there is much to complete that is already underway in terms of recruiting businesses and industries. A Walmart Supercenter at the new Shoppes at Oxford and a new Walgreens are open. And the Triangle North Granville business park has been taking shape. Additionally, Woodlief has said he believes City Manager Mark Donham, whom the commission hired in May 2008, “has some great ideas” and wants to help him. Powell, an educator, said at his home that he believes the good thing is Oxford had an option. “It had an impact in a way because it gave people
an opportunity to at least begin to think a little differently from the status quo,” Powell said. Bullock “It may have not had a great impact this time, but I think it did set a precedent for things that Harris may come up in the future.” Powell added, “I think somebody had to break the mold.” D. Currin Powell, who had decided at the end of July not to seek re-election to a second term on the commission, announced his candidacy for mayor last month. And Powell has said his reason for running for mayor is because he had been contemplating ways of trying to help the entire city get better and of trying to do something that would enhance the lives of people. The four commission positions up for election are being vacated with the departures of Powell, Paul Kiesow, Bob Shope and Chance Wilkinson. Oxford’s seven city commissioners serve staggered four-year terms.

Thirteen candidates competed for the four commission positions. Currin, who watched the returns in the County Commission meeting room, said, “Just excited and ready to go to work.” At the same time, Currin said that he believes there was a good group of candidates and that he was honored to be one of the winners. Currin is a businessman who has served on the Planning Board since 2004 and who is the husband of Granville Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Ginnie Currin. Sergent, who also watched the returns in commission meeting room, said, “I am honored and humbled and completely taken aback.” “I can’t believe it,” Sergent said. “I didn’t expect that. I expected Danny and C.J.” Sergent is health promotion coordinator at the Granville-Vance Health District Department. Harris, as he was arriving at the County Board of Elections Office, said, “I’m speechless. Thank the Lord for his blessings, many blessings.” And Harris thanked the voters. Harris is a mental health professional with
the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services in Butner. Bullock, when reached later by phone at his home, additionally expressed excitement. “I’m tremendously pleased and had a lot of good people helping me, working with me,” Bullock said. “It’s been a good experience.” Bullock is retired from working two decades for Burlington Industries and is presently a part-time instructor for Vance-Granville Community College.
