Henderson Residents Asked to Conserve Water Starting Wednesday
PRESS RELEASE: 13 February 2017
The City of Henderson/ Kerr Lake Regional Water System will begin repair on a 36” water main just outside the water plant beginning at 12:00 a.m. on the morning of February 15, 2017.
Due to the repair procedure it will be necessary to shut the main off to replace the pipe.
The plant will continue to produce and distribute the water through the existing 24” main parallel water main. While there should be no disruption of service during this time, we do ask customers to practice conservation of water during this time and not to use fire hydrants except for emergency purposes.
It is anticipated that the 36” main will be back in service later in the day on the 16th.
Should you have any questions concerning this repair please contact Christy Lipscomb, KLRWP Director at 252-438-2142.

NCDOL Warns Employers of Poster Scam
NEWS RELEASE
Release: Immediate
Contact: Jason Tyson
Date: Feb. 9, 2017
Phone: 919-715-3233
Raleigh—The N.C. Department of Labor is urging businesses across the state to be on the lookout for suspicious correspondence, after the department recently received multiple reports of persons using scare tactics or threatening language in an attempt to sell labor law posters to employers.
“These scams surface several times a year and businesses will contact us,” Labor Commissioner Cherie Berry said. “The threats of fines are bogus and should be ignored. The Department of Labor provides free sets of labor law posters to businesses.”
The scammers will often pose as either government officials or as acting on behalf of a poster company, such as the North Carolina Labor Law Poster Service, a non-regulatory entity that does not operate under any government agency. Other names these companies are known to go by include Personnel Concepts and Labor Law Compliance. There have been reports of these companies threatening fines from $7,000 to as much as $17,000 for non-compliance. Mailings can often appear to be from an official source and request fees for posters that cost anywhere from $84 to $200. Businesses should be aware that scammers may also attempt to contact them by either email, text or by phone.
While labor law posters are required to be displayed at a workplace by law, NCDOL inspectors carry the most up-to-date versions of the posters in their vehicles and will distribute them free of charge. The N.C. Department of Labor will never fine a business that has older versions of the poster displayed.
The NCDOL will print new versions anytime a significant law is changed or updated by Congress. Businesses are not required to order a new poster each time a change is made. Employers that wish to order new posters can visit www.nclabor.com/posters/posters.htm or can call 1-800-625-2267.

H-V Recreation and Parks Department to hold Coaches Meetings
February 6, 2017
To youth league baseball/softball coaches,
This is to inform you about the youth baseball/softball coaches meetings. These meetings will take place at the Aycock Recreation Complex in the meeting room which is located on the second floor of the Baseball/Softball Concession Building. These meetings are scheduled for the following dates and times:
- All Softball Leagues (8U/10U/12/U/16/U/18U) Monday, February 13 at 6:30pm
- Minor/Major/Junior/Senior Baseball Leagues Thursday, February 16 at 6:30pm
- Rookie Baseball League/T-Ball Co-Rec. League Monday, February 20 at 6:30pm
At these meetings we will distribute last year’s rosters so that you can call all of your players to remind them about registration. Rules will be discussed, skill evaluation times, start of practice dates, and the start of the regular season dates. At this meeting we will get you to fill out information that will be used to perform a background check.
You must be present at this meeting in order to reserve your team. If for some reason you are not there, you must let us know by the day of your scheduled meeting. If we do not hear from you and you are not at the meeting, someone else may be assigned your coaching spot.
If you are planning to coach please call me at 438-2670 or email: sosborne@ci.henderson.nc.us to let me know which league and team you are interested in coaching. Please remember that a coach who coached last year has first priority for his/her team again this year. Second priority goes to any assistant coaches of that team, third priority goes to coaches who are moving up or down, and last priority goes to newcomers. You must also fill out a coach’s application and coach’s code of conduct even though you coached last year. These are included with this letter. If you have any questions please call me.
Thank you for your time.
