THURSDAY, JANUARY 9, 1997
CYltore (Sincerely ^If ours ... )
people who actually use these ser-
vices. It really impressed me to find
out the White House used a psychic
in the past. Of course, our current
administration doesn’t do that.
Hillary has imaginary conversa-
tions with Eleanor Roosevelt, she
said. Doesn’t that make you feel
warm and secure about our govern-
ment?
What really aggravates me is the
people these fakes and frauds usu-
ally target. It is normally the lesser
educated, lower income group of
people. Superstitious folks and our
younger people easily fall victim to
this kind of scam. They are curious,
vulnerable and trusting and these
frauds zero right in on them.
The young people will run up an
exorbitant phene bill for their par-
ents to pay, while others will pay
their phone bill and ignore necessi-
ties they need to survive.
How this psychic sham can be
permitted to continue is beyond my
understanding. There are, evidently,
enough people calling these num-
bers to make it a multi-million dollar
a year operation. I personally find
that incredibly sad.
If you need advice that badly, call
a friend, call your pastor or write a
letter to Dear Abby.
Or if you really want to feel daring,
stop a stranger on the street and ask
their advise. At least you’ll see who
you’re talking to, and it won’t cost
you a weeks’ salary.

Mid-Plains Co-op Members
Will Receive Caller ID
by Richard Porter
Assistant Editor
Beginning in mid-January members
of Mid-Plains Rural Telephone Co-
operative, Inc. will have a new service
available to them.
According to Manager Danny
Johnson, members of the co-op will
be able to obtain Caller ID service for
their phones.
He went on to explain that the ser-
vice was available because of new
technology, referred to as Signaling
System 7.
With this service, customers will be
able to place a display device on their
phone which will allow them to iden-
tify callers, under certain circum-
stances, before answering, he said.
In addition, customers will be able
lo block their numbers from being
displayed on both a per-call and per-
linc basis. In other words, they may
block the display of their number on
specific calls, or they may use per-
line blocking to block the display of
their number completely.
Johnson explained that although the
technology is expensive, Mid-Plains
is well suited for deploying the ser-
vice because of the company's coop-
erative nature. They are able to use the .
resources of their members to supply *
the services those members request.
Second, because the service allows
customers to reject blocked and
anonymous calls through the use of
Anonymous Call Rejection, phone
calls from non-participating telephone
companies may be rejected. This op-
tion rejects calls from blocked num-
bers as well.
Finally, even if customers have
blocked their number it still will be
displayed on all calls to911,700,800,
888 or 900 numbers.
Despite these limitations, Johnson
said Mid-Plains is committed to al-
lowing their members the opportunity
to take advantage of this technologi-
cal advancement.
next to Antiques and More has opened
for service by reservation for parties,
receptions, club activities, and wed-
dings.
Although service is limited for now.
Smith said that should change soon.
"Right now the plans are to be open
by reservations. By Spring, we hope
to be open for light lunches," she
explained.
"We tried our menu out on a group
of ladies yesterday (Jan. 6), and their
response was very favorable," Smith
continued.
Although the business is open, it is
not as originally planned.
Initially the Swisher County Senior
Citizens were to participate in the
operation of the Depot and were to
benefit from the profits, according to
Director Marilyn Barnett. However,
that has been changed, she said.
According to Barnett, there was a
difference of opinion on some issues.
Smith met with the Senior Citizens
Board Monday, Dec. 30, at which
time the differences were discussed,
Barnett continued.
Because there was no written
agreement between the parties and a
verbal one could not be reached, she
said the seniorcitizens felt it would be
best to step away from the project
completely.
Barnett thanked the community for
their support, adding that she hop)cd
the building could still be used for
service to the community.
According to Smith, reservations
for the Depot may be obtained by
contacting Antiques and More.

participate in Caller ID.

has not deployed the service, callers

callers.
