Fire leaves Mystic family in need

Toni and Roger Surber of Mystic lost everything in a fire that completely destroyed their home Sunday.

Pastor David Welch of the Plano Christian Church, also a representative of the American Red Cross, said the couple is going to need all household items and clothing because everything burned in the fire.

"The Red Cross will put them up in a motel for three days and give them $100 each for immediate clothing," said Welch.

"But I am also a minister and will work through our church to help them."

Anyone wishing to donate bedding, cooking utensils, furniture and other household items can bring them to Angel's Hands on North 13th Street, north of the Majestic Theater.

Welch said he would get information on the couples' clothing sizes to be published in the Daily Iowegian.

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.
