5-4-10 — The Telecommuni-cations Board met in regular session on Wednesday, April
21, and board members heard an update regarding Phase I of the fiber
project.
Board chairman Greg Latham, David Rowland with the Lake Cumberland Area
Development District, Jessie Fulton with Com- munity Telecom Services, and
Steve Reed with Finley Engineering recently rode around and looked at the
lines of the fiber portion of the project. Latham noted that they are
expecting close-out documents for that part of the project soon.
Also included in the first phase is the purchase of new head end
equipment. Requests for proposals for the equipment had been sent out and
bids were opened last Friday. Latham said he expected a decision to be made
regarding bids sometime this week.
After the bids are approved, he noted that the equipment can be included
on the financial statements for Community Telecom Services and that will be
forwarded to RUS officials in Washington, D.C. Hopefully at that point, RUS
funds, which were awarded for the remainder of this project several years
ago, will become available.
Outlook will delay publication of May 19 edition by one day
In order to provide readers with coverage of the primary election, The
Wayne County Outlook will delay the publication of its May 19 edition by one
day.
Instead of being available in the racks on Tuesday, May 18, The Outlook
will be available on Wednesday, May 19.
"We debated whether to hold the edition for a day, which can be a little
frustrating for our readers, but in the end we decided it would be best to
wait the extra day and include vote totals and election results," stated
Wayne County Outlook publisher Melinda Jones.
Deadlines for the May 19 edition of The Outlook will remain the same,
according to Jones.
The May 19 edition of The Outlook will be available on Wednesday morning
in racks and in local stores.
Subscribers will receive their papers in the mail on Thursday, instead
of Wednesday.
