LOCAL BUSINESS – Concealed Carry Training -  If you are like me and are becoming more and more concerned about you or your family's safety, then it may be time to consider getting a concealed carry permit.  The Arsenal Inc. which is on the Old Durham Road provides training and instruction for concealed carry permit applications.  I’ve been through it and it is very worthwhile not only for gun safety training but also informative about our laws and what is appropriate when facing a serious situation. Call them to find out when the next class is: 336 599-8407

 

Cell Tower Rises out of the Pasture – In case you haven’t noticed, the Hyco Lake cell tower was erected on my birthday August 18^th.  The tower is not yet functioning but continues installation.  Hopefully service from AT&T will be available in about 30 days.  Progress at last!

Oak Tree Tavern at VIR Raceway.  On Monday nights, they have a steak, potato and beer or wine for only $6!  And, the steak was very tasty so that’s hard to pass up this kind of deal.  Don’t be intimidated by going to the facility near Milton, NC.  You enter the main entrance down to a guard post where you just tell them you are going to the restaurant.  Then turn right at the bottom of the hill, go about ½ mile past registration and turn right up the hill to the Oak Tree Tavern.  They also have great dinners and specials other nights.  We frequently eat in the bar and Ryan does a nice job waiting on us.  I recommend you try it out especially on this Monday night! http://www.virnow.com/food-dining/oak-tree-tavern.html

 

 

ADVISORY – Several citations for drinking while operating a boat of late on Hyco – please get a designated driver or do not get on the lake while drinking!  Also there was a notice in the Courier=Times this week that the NC Wildlife Officers will be on patrol for drinking while boating this labor day holiday.

 

New boating law May 1, 2010 requires anyone under 26 years old to take boat safety course for operating boats or jet skis or anything with over 10 HP engine.  (Click here for the NC Wildlife bulletin)

 

ADVERTISER HIGHLIGHT – Wallace Bradsher for D.A. – This week, Sandy Pugh endorsed Wallace for DA.  You may remember that Pugh won the popular vote in Caswell County in the Democratic Primary back in May 2010 but later decided to withdraw from running.  Pugh said that “The District Attorney’s office needs a new direction, not a continuation of the practices of the past. I urge all of my family, friends and supporters to vote for Wallace Bradsher of District Attorney”. See more about Wallace at this link: http://www.bradsher4da.com/

 

I’ll have to give a shout out to this past edition of Hyco Lake Magazine!  Even though I had an article in there about the cell tower progress at Hyco, it is one fine publication for our area.  Great job Tracy and Janna.  If you don’t get a hard copy, you can read it online at: http://www.hycomagazine.com/  It’s not just about Hyco but about our community at large.
