Slow Down, Please! 8/9/2008 12:46:34 AM

Many residents in the Castle Park neighborhood have noticed the number of cars who are either speeding or simply don't bother to obey the stop signs. During the summer months especially, there are kids and families out on the streets in droves. Please remind anyone who drives through the neighborhood to slow down! The posted speed limit sign is 25 mph.

    Paul G. Baker plays fast and loose with the facts regarding government services, federal versus state and local, in his Aug. 15 letter ''False front.'' Police, fire, water and sewer services are not evidence of socialism, but of traditional benefits expected from local government. Indeed, the very function of state and local government is to provide for services the private sector cannot do efficiently (such as law enforcement, fire protection, infrastructure creation and maintenance).
