New South Shore Portal Page Available to All Internet Users
July 2004

NATCO Technologies is providing a new local portal page for Internet users anywhere who wish to have local South Shore area information like news, weather, lake levels, and movie listings at their fingertips along with personal links each user may create. The South Shore area includes communities located near the south shore of Bull Shoals Lake in the northern Arkansas counties of Marion, Baxter, and Boone.

"We have received great feedback from our own customers who made the new South Shore Portal Page their home page," said Steven Sanders Jr., vice president of NATCO, the parent company of NATCO Technologies.

"If you’ve seen the various national portal pages but find they don’t contain the information you’d choose to see each time you begin using the Internet, you can make your own now with the South Shore Portal Page," said NATCO Tech Internet Services Supervisor Larry May.

Internet users may set up their local portal page by going to My.SouthShore.com.

There, they will be asked for an e-mail address and prompted to choose a password so they can customize their portal page. Many use headline news from the Twin Lakes area and beyond, local weather, Mountain Home and Harrison movie listings, and local lake levels. They can add access to their NATCO Web mail and extra services like a horoscope, stock quotes, the NATCO Technologies tip of the week, a link to Amazon.com, and even a customized list of links that the user chooses.

NATCO Technologies also provides Internet users an easy way to make the South Shore portal page their home page. "Then, the information you need is delivered to you right away every time you log on the Internet," said May.
