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

This week the Iowegian wants readers to think about the recent decision by the Centerville Municipal Waterworks Board of Directors to increase the fee for late payment of water bills. In a story published in Wednesday's Ad Express, board members announced a 10 percent late fee after two days late, a $50 red tag fee for accounts unpaid after seven days late and a $25 shut off fee, water service terminated after two weeks late. The board said the decision to increase the fees associated with late payment is to encourage customers to pay their bills on time. So, the question this week is, "Are these fees too much to ask for?"

A. Yes, they are.
B. No, they are not.
C. I'm not affected so I don't care.
