SUN OUTAGES MAY OCCUR TO CABLE TV USERS Par Cable is approaching its semiannual encounter with the sun, according to Steve Shane, vice president and general manager. “Sun outages occur every year in the fall and spring, and are beyond anyone’s control," Shane said. “During the sun outage period, the earth station antenna, the satellite and the sun are all in one line, thereby causing the earth station to receive singnals from the satellite and the sun simultaneously. Since the sun is more powerful than the satellite, we experience some degradation or loss in the satellite signal." This fall's encounter with the sun takes place between October 2 and 11; the interference will occur during late afternoon. “We ask our subscribers to be patient during this period of signal degradation", Shane said. IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SEWER HOOK-UPS As of September 15, 1984, the Town Board has ruled that all residents that need to be hooked up to the sewer system are obliged to do so. A permit of $5.00 is necessary and can be purchased at the clerktreasurer’s office. The permit allows Mr. Jeff Zehner to inspect the work so that it is important that none of the work can be covered up 1 until such time that Mr. Zehner ► does the inspection. Individuals ' that are required to hook up can do ’ so w ithin 90 days of the September 15th date. If individuals do not . hook up within that time frame then they will be charged a $500.00 > fee to hook up. Because of plant startup the » rates on the sewer charge will change.
