FAVORITE – AT&T
is scheduled to add service in the Semora/VIR Track area soon as a new
cell tower has been erected in Caswell County just off of Hwy 57
between Semora and Milton on the left. I don’t have an
in-service data as yet but this will certainly improve cellular
coverage in the VIR area – as long as you are an AT&T customer! If
you live in the northern sections of Person County and do not get good
coverage with Verizon, then fill out their form at this link: https://survey.verizonwireless.com/vzwsurvey/ ADVISORY
– Be aware that on March 31st
you will have to dial the full 10 digit phone number in the 919 area
code. Up until then, you can dial just the 7 digit number. ADVERTISER
HIGHLIGHT – Bar
119 has
been a sponsor of us for a long time. If you haven’t been to
Bar 119 lately, then you are in for treat. They are packing in
large crowds to what is now one of the premiere facilities in this
region. Take my word and try them out soon for a fun time and
great bands. The
Pizazz Band will be there on April 14th and this will
be a sellout. Pizazz brings in a somewhat older audience so keep
that in mind for April 14th. Kent Zimmerman will
entertain and rock the house. Hyco

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. Welcome
