 COMMUNITY FUNCTIONS –  

Saturday April 5^th – Roxboro Presbyterian Church is having an indoor yard sale in the fellowship hall starting at 8:00.  I know there are nice things there because I carried several from my wife’s collection of shoes and clothes!  All marked $5 or less.  Also bake sale and hot dogs so stop by and make a purchase.  Proceeds all used for charity.  The Church is beside Biscuitville on Madison Blvd.

PERSONAL FAVORITE –  Every year about this time I break out the Suspend SC spider and insect control. If you live near woods and/or water like a lot of us, we all have to deal with those spiders, thousand leg things, fleas, ticks, roaches, beetle bugs and more.  Suspend SC is good for all these and isn't harmful for the pets and humans. I haven’t found it anywhere locally but Amazon delivers to my door step! Great for the boat house also.


ADVISORY –  Remember the sun screen.  The days are getting longer and the time we spend outdoors is increasing so remember to use that sun screen!

LAKE LEVEL – You can always get real-time data on the www.hycolake.com web site.  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.
