It’s hard to believe, but November marks one year since Stewartstown.com began its electronic life. We’ve changed during that time, but the goal of helping to bring our community together is still our driving mission.
Hopewell Township has its new website up and running, and if you’re a resident of the township, I think you’ll like it. While Township Supervisor Joe Brock describes the site as a continual work in progress, there is already a lot of good information there.
So what are all of those charges on your phone bill for? Here’s what I’ve found out so far. Interstate/Intrastate Access Charge
According to GTE, the FCC has mandated an access charge (known as the Federal Subscriber Line Charge) to partially reimburse telephone service providers for the cost of routing long distance calls made by local customers. This charge is applied to all customers who have telephone lines in their home or business, whether they make long distance calls or not.
If you’re thinking about buying a new computer for your home, now may be the time to do it. From August 6 - 13, 2000, you can buy a personal computer tax-free at Pennsylvania retail stores, by mail order, or via the Internet, if it is for non-business use. This tax exemption period is part of the Tax Reform package recently passed in Pennsylvania.
Lee Street has long been used as a shortcut to bypass downtown Stewartstown, but the recent detour around road work on Route 851 between Lee Street and the railroad tracks makes the former traffic seem inconsequential. The official detour takes drivers a long way around, so many (perhaps most) local residents opt to use Lee Street.
Are you a music lover? If so you’re bound to find something you like at the Music Festival and Community Days event at the fairgrounds on August 5 & 6, from 1 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Even though it began life only 8 months ago, Stewartstown.com has been redesigned to make it easier to navigate and to prepare for planned improvements.
Have a special car (or just like to look at them)? There’s sure to be a category for you at the Stewartstown Carnival Grounds on August 26.
Ever since the new Extended Area Service (EAS) plan was created for Stewartstown residents, there has been a lot of confusion about the different call plans available. I’ve done some investigation and as of today there are six (6) local calling plans. No wonder there is confusion! |
