Will Paradise find better cable service? Tune in same time next week... By
Julie Ann Grosshans PARADISE -- No ESPN "Sportscenter." No MTV. No reruns of "Press Your Luck." That is what life in front of the tube was like for residents of Paradise prior to the contract with AT&T Broadband. With the deal is about to expire, the council needs to decide if it wants to renew a contract to keep its city connected. Tuesday at the town meeting the council discussed how it would like to keep cable -- but it has one concern. "I know there are people in the city limits without cable," said Councilmember Karen Rinderknect. "I don't see why you can't get it [within the city boundaries]." Currently cable is only available to those specifically within the city limits, Mayor Lee Atwood said. The council decided to have an AT&T representative visit the Sept. 18 meeting to explain the issue of everyone in the town not being able to receive cable. "It's always nice to have someone come and talk, answer questions," said Councilmember Margaret Obray. In other business, Wendy Simmons, a member of a group organizing a forum on suicide, visited the meeting. Simmons told the council there were five suicides in the Logan school system last year, although they were not published in newspapers probably to avoid copycat incidents, she said. "The education is there, we just need to get it out," Simmons said. The suicide forum will be held Oct. 2 at Mount Logan Middle School.
Atwood said the council would be willing to hang a flyer describing
the forum on its town bulletin board to inform residents. |
