Phone service vital for elderly

Dear Editor,



I found my phones not working (regular and Lifeline) and as I am confined to my home, I wrote a note to give to my mail carrier to help me. I caught him at my neighbors next door and yelled. He came back, took the note, and called my friends Greta and Dave Tarbell. Dave takes care if I have something go wrong. Greta gave him the message and he informed Iowa Telecom. They came immediately and checked the service coming into the home. He went back to the office and solved the problem.

If it weren't for my mail carrier, Bruce Clark, and Greta and Dave Tarbell, who helped me and Iowa Telecom, because I was really helpless without my telephone because I cannot get out.

Poll

So, the question this week is, “Will it stay or will it go?” The United States Department of Agriculture in Washington, D.C. wants to close three Farm Service Agency offices in southern Iowa, which includes the FSA office in Centerville, and consolidate the operations in order to save money. Tuesday afternoon a meeting was held at Faith United Methodist Church to allow farmers and other producers who use the Centerville FSA office to make comments about the closing to John R. Whitaker, state executive director Iowa FSA. Many questioned if the meeting Tuesday was necessary because the decision had already been made.

A. Yes, because Washington will listen.
B. No, because the decision to close the Appanoose County FSA office has already been made.
