Raja Bell a great ambassador for the Jazz

Editor,

It was our pleasure to meet Utah Jazz basketball player, Raja Bell, Friday, Feb. 3 at a grocery store in South Ogden.

What a pleasant and congenial young man! He impressed us greatly. We want to thank those responsible for bringing him there. Everyone around us was excited to get warmhearted Raja's autograph and picture.

Mitt and his father earned money honestly, helped others

Editor,

I'm writing regarding the letter of Feb. 7, "Newt's had his share of government checks." It's all in who we believe, right? I'm "old and have changed my mind a number of times through the years, not with values, but how I judge people.

Government can support commercial enterprise

"We who live in free market societies believe that growth, prosperity and, ultimately, human fulfillment are created from the bottom up, not the government down. Only when the human spirit is allowed to invent and create, only when individuals are given a personal stake in deciding economic policies and benefiting from their success -- only then can societies remain economically alive, dynamic, progressive and free. Trust the people. This is the one irrefutable lesson of the entire postwar period contradicting the notion that rigid government controls are essential to economic development."

-- RONALD REAGAN

At the top of the list is funding for the Utah Defense Alliance, a nonprofit organization that has played a key role in keeping the base open during previous Base Realignment and Closure actions.

Crappies, 'bows through the ice make good table fare

A single-digit temperature greeted us as we pulled off the road along the Narrows at Pineview. Nonetheless, we worked our way down the rocky hill to the lake, and stepped off into some standing water on top of the ice. Not enough to really bother us, we began our walk out toward deeper water.
