READER'S VIEW • • eel' Vi1dim11 . •, Speed limit change itksome 1 DHrEditor: I was surprised and disappointed to find last week that the town of Pomeroy had reduced the speed limit through · town to 25 miles per hour in the downtown area. Officials claim that this is a. re~ult of increased traffic ac"idents in the downtown area in ·addition to being an effort to do away with the previous multiple speed changes. . . I suspect this is not entirely true. While I realize I !llll a younger dnver, bemg only 25, I personally have no recol~ection in recent memory of any serious traffic acc1dents m the downtown area, a fender bender here or there, but certainly nothing to warrant a speed change for the safety of~ townspeopl4?. . · . If this is the case, then why IS the speed lurut coJrung from the West Virginia side of the new bridge still 35 mph while the oncoming Pomeroy side is 25 mph? Is ~at speed limit somehow safer in another state? It's downnght confusing. along with being aagravating , · The widespread opinion of ·many is that . this speed ch~e is just another effort to collect revenues .m fines that . . will resuli from this chimge. The town of Middleport has already boasted m thi~ newspaper that they have taken in more revenue 11_1 ~nes m most months in 2008 than the whole department did m the entire .year of 2007. .. . · .. This is not because ~ townspeople have·recently decld.e d to break the law every chance they get, b11t because local law enforcement and tow'n officials have deemed it necessary to raise floes and increase the number of tic~ets ~y hand out. It would seem that the town of Pomeroy IS trymg to follow suit. As a member of the local community, I feel like the townspeople of ~· area are being victimized by this trend. This is not to sa~ that lawle~sness should_ be overlooked or go unpunished, but changmg ~ laws. 1.e., speed limits , to try to increase the odds of catchmg a speeder here or there and raising fiiiCs to an outrageous amount seems to go against what our law enforcement supposedly stand for - justice. Wke Middleport, I will av_oid Pom4?roy f<!f the sh~r fact that it has now become an mconvemence m reac~mg any · destinations outside of town, such as · Parkersburg or Athens. This isn't because I want to fly through town in a reckless. manner, but because I would like to be able to drive at a reasonable speed of 35 mph so that I can reach my destinations in a timely manner. . If this becomes the trend, it can only hurt area busmesses which depend on the traffic flow through town.~ ~ re~ize that' our area like many has fallen on hard economrc limes and ·that our law enforcement and towns are always at the risk of having to lay off and downsize because of f~ding, but this does not justify trying to compensate for thrs need by placing the strain on drivers in the area.

"People may think giving Social Security recipients an extra $250 is not going to help. but everybody I know has already figured out how they're going to spend it."

Obama: People should see tax cut help by April 1 Bv LIZ StDOTt ASSOCIATED PRESS WRI'TER WASHINGTON It took only weeks for the notoriously slow Congress to pass the $787 billion economic stimulus package . President Barack Obama signed it into law less than one morith into his presi· dency. So when should most people hope to start seein~ the benefits of tax cuts in it . By April I. according to the prestdent . "Never before in our history has a tax cut taken effect faster or gone to so many hardworking Americans," Obama said Saiurday in his weekly radio and Internet address. · The president said his signature two-year "Makmg Work Pay'' tax break will affect 95 percent of working families. and. in six weeks· time. a typical family will start taking home a! least $65 more every month. Tax. payers won't get a separate check mailed to them like many did with last year's one-time payment designed by the Bush adnumstrallon to help boost the economy. Instead. Obama 's credit - up to $400 credit for individuals and up to $800 credit for married couples . - is to be doled out through the re't of the year through paychecks. Most workers ure to see about a $13 per week itll:rcus~ in their take-home pay. In 20 I0. the credit would be about $7.70 11 week. if it is spread over the entire year. People who do nol earn 'enough money _to owe income tuxes are dtg;ble tor the credit. un unempt to otTset the payroll laxes they pay.

Late-season rabbit hunting is a great way to spend some time outdoors. Grab a few buddies. a shotgun and some lowbrass sixes and hit the fields. Most of the work is at pretty close range . so you can't go wrong with a 12-gauge pump. autoloader or double-barrel with an improved choke. although pretty much any gauge will work . even the anemic little .410 is effective on rabbits. Hunting gear for rabbit hunting is pretty minimal . You ' ll want warm coveralls and a hat. preferably in hunter orange - you want to be seen. It can be cold in February. but usually getting too cold isn't a problem since you'll spend plenty of time working through fields. thickets and brush piles following the dog or ·searching for bunnies. I confess to not having done much rahbit hunting in recent years. but I have spent many enjoyable days hittmg overgrown fields. brush piles and fence rows in pursuit of Mr. Cottontail.

Miller, the car ~es mogul who turned the Utah Jazz into one of the NBA's most stable teams, died Friday from com plicalions of type 2 diabetes. He was 64. Miller was at home with his family when he passed away, the team said in a statement.

The Jazz made consecutive appearances fn the NBA finals in 1997 and 1998. "Every citizen in our state feels a little empty today," Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman said in a statement. "Larry was Utah ·. and Utah · was Larry. He inspired many and served countless. We all have been lliJide better by his extraordinary life." Miller had the good fortune to boy a team that had three of the longest tenures in league history : John Stockton, Karl Malone and coach Jerry Sloan. Stockton, the NBA's career leader in assists and steals, played all 19 of his seasons for the Jazz, 18 of them dishing the ball off to Malone as he scored the second-most points in NBA history. Malone, a two-time league MVP, was with the Jazz for :18 seasons in his 19-year career. Sloan still holds !he coaching job he started in 1988. "The NBA lost a great leader, colleague and. friend today," commissioner David !)tern said in .a statement. "'we will miss him." . Around the time Miller bought the Jazz, the team set a goal to sell 10,000 season tickets in the Salt Palace, the team's tiny home arena after it, moved from New_J>rleans. Six years later, the Jazz were playing in a brand new building that held 19,100 and filled up as !he team got better.

Miller didn 't have the reputation of owners like George Steinbrenner or Mark Cuban. but was very hands-on with his team . When he wasn 'I happy with !he Jazz's performance, he was known to stand behind the bench, silently glaring at the players and sometimes . punctuating his point with a locker room tirade. Miller got so frustrated early in the 2005-06 season that he skipped eight games.
