Show Thursday, October 7, 2004 SPRINGVILLE HERALD 2 Editorial Christ! C. Babbitt There's dog doo-doo on my lawn. This is not a new situation. Nearly every time my husband mows our lawn, he spends time scooping up leavings from man's best friend. The mystery is the origin of these presents. We don't own a dog - in fact, we don't own a pet of any type and never have. But we still frequently find ourselves cleaning stinky debris from our yard I will admit that I don't like dogs in general. Too many near misses during my years as a young paper carrier have made me rather afraid or them and I prefer not to have them around my home even if they're not doing their business. Still, we have dogs roaming around the neighborhood, a Eroblem made worse by the opening of a new park that acks onto our property that some consider to be an oversized over-sized dog run. Dogs bring joy and love to others, something I don't understand under-stand but accept as a good thing. However, I would like to issue is-sue this plea: please keep your dog on a leash when it's not on your property. Do it for the safety and consideration of others, oth-ers, do it to be a good neighbor, and do it to keep your dog safe. As a reminder of the legal responsibilities of dog owners, Springville city code states that it is "unlawful for the owner or custodian of any animal to allow the same to be at large at any time within the limits of the City." Also, city code states, "It shall be unlawful for the owner or custodian of any animal ani-mal to stake the same out on a public street or knowingly or intentionally turn the same loose upon the streets or public property within the City.'' It is also against city code "to bring animals of any kind into a park, except a dog on a leash, unless otherwise posted." post-ed." And to make lawn-mowing a more pleasant activity for ' all, consider this excerpt from the dry code: "When any animal ani-mal defecates on any street, sidewalk, or other public place, or on any private property without the consent of the owner thereof, it shall be unlawful for the owner or custodian of the animal to fail to clean up the defecation and property dispose of it."

Build bridges with the Russians Editor: Many nuclear arms experts ex-perts reel that we are in greater danger of obliteration oblitera-tion today than during the cold war years when there was a semblance of power balance between the U.S. and the former U.S.S.R. (Russia) through the doctrine of Mutual Mu-tual Assured Destruction (MAD). Why? Four main reasons are listed below. First, with the break up of the U.S.S.R. at the end of the first Bush administration, balance is no longer there. In fact, we are now faced with acute nuclear instability. Russia's nuclear might has disintegrated to but a shadow shad-ow of its former self, along with its economy. But it still has the capability of destroying destroy-ing the U.S. with its 5,000 nuclear nu-clear warheads. Second, the Russians are very insecure and, therefore, potentially trigger-happy. Their satellites and early-warning early-warning system have deteriorated deteri-orated to the point that they came within two minutes of launching their missiles at us in 1995 because a Norwegian weather launch was mistaken mistak-en for a missile coming in from one of our Trident submarines. sub-marines.

But it might be easier to launch an existing Russian missile through some form of subversion. The Russians don't have the money to protect pro-tect all these concerns. Fourth, the good will that we have had with the Russians Rus-sians risks being squandered if President Bush continues to anger President Putin by breaking the treaty we have had with Russia since 1972 in which we agreed not to build an Anti-ballistic Missile system sys-tem (ABM). President Reagan Rea-gan pushed the Star Wars (ABM) and the Russians responded re-sponded by building the Topol M SS-25, which became be-came today's SS-27. They are designed to penetrate an ABM system and have the power of 35 Hiroshima bombs. If the Russians have preserved any credibility in their military it is the Topol M. It seems only prudent to me that we do all we can to build bridges with the Russians, Rus-sians, help them with their problems and give them absolutely ab-solutely no reason to fear us. Please, President Bush, scrap the ABM notion so the Russian Russ-ian trigger finger can relax. We are all in jeopardy!
