COMMUNITY FUNCTIONS The Roxboro Rotary
Club is having a food drive tomorrow Saturday 10/24 at Wal-Mart.
Please bring canned items and also monetary donations are accepted.
Proceeds go to the Christian Help Center and the Food Pantry here in
Person County.
PERSONAL FAVORITE T&O Drug Store in
uptown Roxboro provides no-wait prescription filling. If you go
to the big box or chain stores for your prescription and hate the
waiting in lines like I do, then go to T&O on Main Street.
Ronnie and the staff will insure your wait is minimal and on top of
that, they will advise you on ways to save money on that prescription.
I am amazed at the people who say that T&O works hard to keep the
cost of prescriptions low. And, you can call ahead and have your
prescription ready when you get there.
ADVISORY Watch out for those stopped
school buses as there is a campaign on by law enforcement to step up
on violators of the flashing lights and stop sign. It is a 5
point hit on your drivers license to pass a stopped school bus plus
unsafe to our children! If you see the lights flashing, you have
to stop.
PLANT INFO During this time of year,
you may hear loud noise from the plant early in the mornings.
This is a normal sound of safety or electromagnetic steam valves being
operated during startup of one or more of the generating units.
The steam lines are cleared out of any moisture before admitting steam
to the turbines to prevent damage to the turbines. During this
time of year, the demand for power is low due to the mild temperatures
outside reducing heating load so the units are cycled off-line at
night for efficiency reasons. The nuclear and hydro plants carry
can cover most of the load during the mild nights and weekends.
CELL TOWER UPDATE The latest on cell
towers is that there is activity to put up possibly 4 cell towers in
the northern sections of the county with one of those being at Hyco
Lake. Ill let you know if there are public meetings or if
community support is needed for permitting. If you need more
justification to help us justify our need, see this link: http://www.hycolake.com/TeleInfo.htm
which is also located on the lower left part of our homepage.
