Dr. Mickey Efird is filling in as the Interim minister at Roxboro Presbyterian Church.  He is a great teacher as he retired from Duke Divinity School. I love to hear him speak and I think you would to. Dr. Efird's sermons are recorded and put on our web site usually every Monday.  There are a few now online since he started preaching on May 22.  If we don't make church, I usually listen to them online at: http://www.roxboropresbyterian.org/media/  You are also welcome to come to hear Dr. Efird every Sunday.  For more info about Roxboro Presbyterian Church, check the web site: www.roxboropresbyterian.org   In July and August, the Sunday morning services will be at 10 AM.  Hope to see you there!

 

PERSONAL FAVORITE –   Well it is  that time of year when we all need to get rid of spiders, ants and other crawly bugs!  I’ve found a commercial product works well at the lake.  It is Suspend SC and can be purchased online at Amazon.com.  Just search for Suspend SC and it will show you all the products available or Click Here.  It can be used inside or outside and is safe around pets.

 

ADVISORY – I understand that the NC Wildlife Officers now have a new method of checking boaters for alcohol so please do not drink and drive.

Also, if you are an AT&T Wireless customer and have noticed some outages on the Hyco Lake tower and called AT&T, you may have had a problem reporting the problem in that AT&T can’t locate our tower.  The technician will use your zip code to look for towers within about 3 miles so if you give them the Roxboro, Leasburg or Semora zip code, they may not find the tower.  The tower site is identified as: Site ID  NC273103   So when you call, give them the site ID and they will look to see if there are problems.  Many times they’ll just note the call and after several calls may then investigate further.  If more people give them the Site ID then maybe they will look into it sooner. Call 800-331-0500  I also understand that all the AT&T sites are to be upgraded soon to the latest technology which should greatly enhance data speeds.

If you are a leaseholder on Hyco Lake, you should have received a notice that your dock plate needs to be up by June 1, 2011.  This notice went to all leaseholders so don’t panic if yours is up!  If yours is not up, then after June 1^st your dock will be recorded and then if the plate is not up by July 1, 2011 you will be assessed a penalty of $100 payable upon notice.  Whit Wyant of West and Woodall volunteered to install these for you free some time ago so there’s no excuse for not having them up.  Whit is willing to continue installing these but he can’t do it until after June 1^st due to schedule conflicts.  If you want Whit to help you out, contact him at West and Woodall by calling 336.583-9668
