 The Appalachian Advantage plan is the simpler, better way to get the phone you actually want instead of paying hundreds of dollars up front. Simply pay the taxes up front and a few extra dollars on your monthly bill and get the phone you really want. It's called the Appalachian Advantage and is available at Appalachian Wireless. Friday members of the Pike County Fiscal Court joined at 45 Pearl Street in Phelps for the open house of its new community center. It's the old Phelps Court House and the building had been in a pretty bad state of repair. The folks in Phelps needed somewhere. A lot of areas in the county have community centers. This is one area that did not have a community center. So as you can see, we've renovated this space. It'll be a place for our senior citizens to gather, socialize, it'll be a place for families to have wedding receptions or birthday parties or family get-togethers, community get-togethers. And we're proud of the facility. We still have some work to do and as you can see, it's pretty nice. It's turned out great. I'm getting a lot of people coming in. There's been a lot of support for the facility and we hope this is something that benefits the Phelps community for years to come. As to government services that the center will offer, Jones says that the establishment will continue as a clerk's office this Wednesday. Commissioner Brian Booth emphasizes the center's need. Well, when the community center closed at Freiburn for the doctor's office and all that, that left them no place for them to gather at. So this was just an opportunity for us to redo the courthouse and give them a place to come from where they did come. Was at Freiburn to come up here in the Phelps and still have a place for them to gather and have coffee and socialize. We've got a number lock on the door there, whether they can just, you know, we can give them the number, they can come in at any time and use this facility for any purpose that they need it for, for birthday parties, whatever. And lastly, Phelps resident Betty Mounce spoke with Mountaintop about what she thinks about the new center. I think it's good for the community and good for the older people that need something that they can rely on and to help with the community. And I think really it looks nice and everything, better than it ever was. It looks really good now. For Mountaintop News, I'm Joel Corjol.
