Person County Government is redesigning
their web site at www.personcounty.net
If you have any suggestions or request for modifications, please send
Assistant County Manager Gene Hodges an email at: ghodges@personcounty.net
The Person County Museum of History
now has a George W. Kane exhibit on display. Mr. Kane’s
company built most of the commercial buildings in Roxboro and several
homes. It is worth the time to go by our museum to learn about
Mr. Kane. Our “high rise” building in Roxboro better known
as the Roxboro Building was built in the late 1940s and is where ESI
is located. More info about the museum is located on the Person County
Tourism web site at this link: http://www.visitroxboronc.com/heritage.htm
PERSONAL FAVORITE – Always some
good things to buy at Roxboro Savings Bank on their benefit for
Relay for Life. That is today 9/2/11 at the bank in uptown
Roxboro. Swing by and enjoy!
ADVISORY – 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: AT&T
Site ID Lake Hyco 368-424
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. I
talked to the tower crew working in the Hill Street site this week and
he said they are in town to upgrade all the sites.
ADVERTISER HIGHLIGHT
I’ve seen some “SOLD” signs lately around
the lake. Check out one of our sponsors of West
and Woodall and Prudential
Pointer and Associates – they’ve both made someone happy
moving to Hyco Lake recently. There has never been a better time
to buy at Hyco and I know the realtors are ready to make it happen for
you. Also see Clyde
Kelly and Judy
LaRue who are brokers at Prudential Pointer and Associates.

LAKE LEVEL – You can always get
real-time data on the www.hycolake.com
web site from USGS or click
here. The USGS webpage now shows you the elevation
above sea level. 410.5’ is normal level. You can now get
a text message or email if the lake level is at a parameter you set.
I’ve set my notice to occur at 411.5 feet which is 1 foot above
normal. This would be the time I need to remove stuff on the
dock and make sure the boats are raised high enough to keep them on
the lifts! See the link on the USGS site or click
here.
