Dear Editor: Earlier this year, the Middleport Village Council voted unanimously to make North Fourth a "one way" street. Signs were purchased and erected. The reasons for this change were to help eliminate the 13' 5" traffic "bottleneck" at the· intersection of Walnut Street and North Fourth as well as the "drag strip" like traffic flow going south on North Fourth. Now, in their infinite wisdom, the village council has reversed itself again and returned North Fourth to a multidirectional ~treet after just a few months. - for What reason? - at what cost'' Have the original traffic problems been addressed or rectified? May I suggest that the reason for this ·change is that we now have a council by consensus where the perceived inconvenience of a few take precedence over the safety of all.

There are lessons to be learned for all corporate boards and the shareholders they represent. When takeovers were booming, many companies gave their potential buyers lots of wiggle room in deal agreements. That's coming back to haunt the companies who thought they were going to be sold. "Companies did not fully grasp that firms could and 'wotjld walk away from some deals," said Steven Davidoff, an assistant professor at Wayne State Law School in Detroit. "That is very clear right now." .. Going forward, Davidoff says better protections are needed. Companies being sold need to make sure breakup fees are set at skyhigh levels. so exiting is outrageously expensive and therefore deterred. Companies also can't forgive and forget which buyers are bolting on deals now, especially when the market turns around and the takeover business resurrects. That's the only way to punish those dealmakers for breaking cOiporate America's trust. TURN LEFT . AT THE LIGHT1 THEN COWTINUE. OVER THE RIVER AND THROUGH THE WOODS To ...

RefleCttrom PageA1 It's no exaggeration to say. that the establishment media's initial response to the "blogo~phere" was panic. The idea of mere citizens talking back to the press was unsettling to Washington media celebrities. Pundits who'd exhibited no qualms about the sordid imaginings of, say, the American Spectator or the Wall Street Journal editorial page, recoiled in horror at online mockery. ·It was laugh-out-loud funny to see a Washington Post reporter · infamous for treating Kenneth Starr's backstairs leaks like holy writ make a show of pretending the nowdefunct Web site. mediawhoresonline.com had literally accused her of prostitution. How the system had always worked was this: They dished it out, everybody else had to take it. Now that many print and broadcast ou.tlets feature blogs of their own, it's no longer common to hear the word'"blogger" pronounced with utter disdain. Even so, competition from the grqundlings still provokes unease . The latest highminded worrier is University of Chicago law professor . and sometime politico Cass R. Sunstein. A Justice Department officia! during the Carter and Reagan administrations, Sunstein has written a book ·Called "Republic.com 2.0" (Princeton UniversitY.

Instead, the Browns were waiting for someone spec tal - him. "Next to having my son there," Dawson satd Wednesday, "that was probably the highltght of my career." Dawson, the fourth-most accurate kicker in NFL history, had been delayed m JOtntng the Browns, and with good reason. After kiCkmg the winmng fteld goal m Clevel,md 's 33-30 wm, and bouncmg a controversial, never-to-beforgotten 51-yarder through to end regulation, Dawson spent extra time on the fteld ' dotng TV intervtews He was soon JOined by hts oldest son, Dru, who had never seen daddy play m person and ptcked the rodd game against the Ravens as hi s first. Turns out, the youngster couldn ' t have chosen a better one So when Daw son got to the locker room he figured the Brown s had already team completed thetr prayer, coach Romeo Crennel had gtven hts postgame speech and h.md ~ ed out game ball s to the day's stars · .

"It's never come back on rne," the 32-year-old satd ''I've clanked a couple off the uprights before and they 've done some weird thmgs, but to have one bounce back into the field of play was pretty crazy." Maybe it's the Browns' turn to be lucky. Maybe all the bad things that could poss tbly go wrong these last few seasons have been used up . Maybe, just maybe, this ts their season to get the breaks. Dawson, though, believes the Browns' success ts due to something else. "It's more a product of what we're doing right rather than any luck," he satd. ''You make your own luck in thts league . We 've been trytng to do the little things right and it's just startmg to translate into wins "When u's all said and done, we' II look back and see tf 11 was a pivotal moment or not." The big moments have been multiplying for Dawson Cleveland's past three games have all been dectded by field goals, wtth the only loss at Pittsburgh when he JUSt mtssed a 52yarder wtth 10 seconds left. "It's been a crazy three weeks," he said. "Every season has tiS own personality and for whatever reason a lot of our games are coming down to the end.

LCCD will raise its rates by 35 cents per I ,000 gallons. Rutland currently purchases a minimum of 2,000 gallons at a rate of $21. "I'm like everybody else and I hate to raise rates but we've definitely got to cover this cost," Councilman Dean Harris said at Rutland's most recent meeting of village council. Also at the meeting was former Fiscal Officer Susan ·Baker who is assi'sting current Fiscal Officer Joyce Fry with training. Baker said the Ohio Revised Code states the village has to c'harge at least what it costs lo produce the product/water. Council decided to table discussions on setting new water rates until the next meeting when a new ordinance will likely be read and voted on during an emergency reading. In other council news: Councilman Lowell Vance said the walking path project was moving just not as quickly as hoped due to some additional feet added to the path to place handicap accessible curbs. These curbs were not in the original plans and caused a need for a new estimate from Burchett Builders with the most current .estimate being $16,970 9392 · or tstevens@hocking.net or by calling Steven P.
