'96 Owl Edition Reaching Out And Toucing Someone

To Be Cheaper For Phone Customers

Gets New Look It will be cheaper for Hale Center residents to reach out and touch someone In the near future.

Through a petition and vote by Hale Center phone customers, Expanded Local Calling (ELC) has been approved. Phone rustomers on the 839 exchange wiU be billed a flat rate for calls to Plainview, Lubbock, Petersburg and Abemathy. .

A flat rate of $3.50 per month for residence and $7.50 for business will be charged to call the four cities. A long distance charge will not be billed for calls to the ELC area.

The percentage of the total ballots cast which were yes was greater than the required 70 percent for all of the petitioned cities. The percent yes-votes were: Abernathy 79.23, Lllbbock 90.10, Petersburg 73.80, Plainview 91.49. An exchange has the opportunity to request for up to five cities at the r8duced rate.

The process has taken over a yearto become reality. Durlngthe July 15, 1995 City Council meeting, the Council voted to P\lrsue the request for Expanded Local Calling. The first application for Lubbock was denied because of the lack of Information. When all the Information was provided lor the Lubbock request it was approved. .

Expanded Local Calling could take effect as soon as September 6.

Letter To The Editor

Dear Editor: It's hard to address or make any

suggestions on any topic without stepping on someone toes. The topic for your reader's consideration will be understood by most and Ignored by a few. Its the carelessness of the few that create the problem.

Like most citizens of Hale Center, my eyes tire of seeing all the Imer and beer bottles strewn uPon our streets, parl<s and yards. Just one small piece of trash can destroy the beauty In a park, or wakway and someone's yard.

There will alw~ys be a few to give no thought to others. They began life early on throwing their clothes this way and that, knowing full well mother would be along directly to pick up after them. These few will always expect others to pick up after them. _

I say to the few, IT IS NOT the responsibility of your neighbor, private Citizens, orthe city to clean and pick up after YOU.

I offer these suggestions that may help each of us to enjoy our surroundings more and to take pl:de In our city.

1) If you are a property owner do all you can to contribute to a leaner town. Ask yourself would I buy this property the way It look's today ,If I didn't already own It.

2) Insteadofthrowlngtrashonto your street, stop and pick up some trash. When out for a walk take a bag to carry traSh you pickup.

3) If YOU ' must drink do so at home. ButUyoumustthrownyour beerboUle8, throw them Ina dumpster.

Medicare Creeping Toward Insolvency

W hat would YO. u think of your federal governmenl if it knew Medicare was in trouble, yel did nothing 10 save !I?

Last year's Medicare trustees' repon was bad, predicl­ing Ihe progr.m would be bankrupt after the year 2002. As di5~ as that projection was, we now know lhal aClually it was optimistic. .

In I99S,alorig with many OIhennemberSofConpess,

I tried to &len Texans that Medicare was in trouble and needed refonn. Congress approved a carefully crafted plan 10 save Medicare by making il · more efficienl and by aImriD& lhe program's el\plosive.1JlI.G Ill~. Our plan still increased spending per beneficiary fromS4,600 in 1995 10 more lhan $7,000 by 2002 - 7 percent per year.

This plan would hllve.preserved Medicare for the nexi generation. . . . .

BUI strengthening Medicare financially Won~1 be enough. It's not just a queslions of spending more money, it's a question of spending money snuirter.

There are a number of other improvements we need 10 make in the program. Washinglon has a way of making everYthing more expensive, complicated and difficult for Americans 19 understand. Thai, 100, muSI change. We need 10 simplify the system so thai seniors can read their bills and communicalebelter with lheir healih-care providers.

Too many seniors have lold melheir Medicare cover· age is inadequate, or offers coverage for Ihings they don't want or need while nOlcovering the things they do need, Medicare users should be in charge, not the bureaucracy. Seniors should have the right 10 choose a health care plan thaI suilS them beSI- or to stay in their current plan if they wish.

Mote than at any olher time in several decades, the curtenl Congress has been willing 10 make the lough choices and do what is necessary. Congress is nol going 10 allow Medicare l!I go bankrupt.
