READER'S PageA4 VIEW Prepare Steps need to be taken first Dear Editor: I rece ntly enlisted the services of the Meigs County Sheriff's Office and the Pomeroy Police Department. I was very well impressd by the professionalism observed in the staff of both 1!epartments. , ~ut, based on my expeljence of some 30 years ·of law enforcement, I also found both departments to be. critically underfunded and understaffed. I also am aware of the impending influx of people due to the soon-to-begin construction of at least two new plants.

"I think what it's 'going to come down to is some guys can be heroes aild some can be chumps," said Andretti, making a comeback after a two-year retirement in order to race against ~is 19-yearold son, Marco, in his first 500. "It's a bit of a gamble on ·some· things you can do becau se we h~ven ' t run in these conditions. "I'm thinking about taking some gambles on my setup that may pay off and may not.

Two other veterans making comebacks this month are two-time Indy winner AI Unser Jr. , who sat ·out th~ 2005 season, and 1988 winner Eddie Chee.ver Jr., who last drove here in 2002 . While Aodretti, ·who · has led more laps than ahy nonwinner here, is considered at least an outside threat, Unser and Cheever are not likely to be contenders. "A top 10 finish would be a victory for this team ," said Unser, who is driving for Dreyer & Reinbold Racing. Cheever, at 48 the oldest driver in the field, at least has hopes of taking another checkered flag for his own team. "I didn 't come here for the free lunches," Cheever said, grinning. "I think the Penske and Ganassi cars have the best opportunities to win but, after that, it's kind of a free for all the next 10 or 15 positions liaclc." The field also includes two other former Indy champi ons: 2004 winner Buddy , Rice , P.a trick's teammate, who mi ssed last year's race with an injury, and Buddy Lazier, the 1996 winner. Aside from Michae l Andretti, the dark horses in the lineup include hi s teammates Bryan Herta, who finished third last year, and Daria Franchitti , as well as Vitor Meira, siarting sixth on Sunday after fini shing · second last year.. Joining Marco Andretti in the battle for Rookie of the Year are Townsend Bell, P.J .

Saunders, who · was born in Harrison Township, but spent some years in Gallipolis. His horSe was Bangway and the year was 1950~ Unfortunately Bangway, though a favorite, broke stride and finished out of the money. Saunders' father Jesse operated the Farmer's Hotel in G3.Jlipolis for some years. Clarence invented a process of making dry meal pellets out of alfalfa and opened his first factory in Toledo. In time he also had factories in Arizona, Texas and · California. His meal was especially popular with horse · owners. Saunders became a multi-millionaire in time, also taking on the owning of race horses, some of whom became quite successful.

Something in the air New home wastewater treatment rules take effect in 2007 Beginning in 2007. many Ohio home builders and buy- . ers likely will sniff out more information about on-site wastewater treatment than they ever dreamed of.

"Before you even buY. a piece of property (that will require an onsite system) you should make sure that the soil is apr,ropriate for waste treatment, ' M.ancl said. "And when construction starts, make sure the soil is protected. Digging l!P and disturbing the soil could easily make it unusable for a wastewater treatment sysiem." District offices of the Soil and Water Conservation Service have soil surveys available for the public; and staff members can help people find the property they are interested in. With that information, Mancl suggests reviewing a bulletin she wrote with OSU Extension soil scientist Brian Slater, "Suitability of Ohio Soils for · Wastewater," Treating Bulletin l!96-02, available on the Soil · Environment Technology Learning' Lab Web site, http://setll.osu.edu. "You will still need an onsite evaluation by a consultant or · soil scientist, but I think you. should do as much homework as you can on your own so you can ask the right questions and make sure you get the information you need ." Mancl has several other bulletins and fact sheets on her Web site that may be helpful for new homeowners. Guidelines for food ser\Jice event . a temporary .

All family and friends are welcome. · ,'\rJH'IIt ,,, '.' I l • Beverly GeHies community, to a country. . · In these troubled days when we are que· tioning our immi.gration policy, this novel may lead some to take a different viewpoint of how it feels to give up your culture, your customs, your language. Sometimes Maryarn realizes · she does not belong here; but she would not belong in Iran either if she should return there. Theis is about as.far from a Daniel. Silva novel as you can get! It is quiet, homey, comforting. No one gets killed, but people die. No one hates, but there are all kinds of love - love of children, of spous. es, of family, of country. Tyler won the Pultzer for "Breathing Lessons," and "The Accidental Tourist" was made into a movie. Two of my other favorites by this author are "Saint Maybe" and "Ladder of Years." Keep · writing, Anne Tyler. I plan to read everything you write. "American Theocracy: The · Peril and Politics of Radical Religion, Oil and Borrowed Money in the 21st Century" by Kevin Phillips is a sobering look at where 04r country seems to be headed. Phillips has written 13 books, including "Ameri9an Dynasty" and "Wealth and Democracy." He worked in the Nixon administration and is a former Republican strategist·, but he is alarmed that we are becoming "preache{-ridden, debtbloated and energy-cripfled." With careful historica facts and statistics, he traces the take-over of his party by the radical right. He sur.veys a century of foreign policy in the Middle East and concludes that it is all about oil. A careful and alarming study of current policies and economic blunders. . We have many times in Sunday school classes wondered who the prophets for our time can be. And if we found them, would we listen? Today seems about as far from the post-World War II optimism as a country can get. Is Kevin Phillips one of those " prophets" (I use this term loosely and do not wish to offend), and will· his predictions weigh on future generations? · June 2 and 3 RELAY FORUFE• t" II I have read nearly every one of Anne Tyler 's previous 16 novel s, and I . eagerly aw,,", d her latest, "Digging to America." She is a modern Jane Austen, "gentle r and kinder," says one critic. She i~ the. r:raster of family life and ordranry domesticity. This novel . concerns two families - the very middleclass American Donaldsons and the Iranian Yasdans. Tyler's late husband . was Iranian, so' she speaks with authority about the d~emma of being an "outsider" in America. The story begins in the Baltimore . airport where two families are waiting for the plane which will deliver their new adopted baby daughters from Korea. When B itsy Donaldson realized that another family is there also to pick up their baby, she suggest that they celebrate · "Arrival Day" each year together. The celebrations become even more elaborate, and there is much writing about the food served. These are large extended families, including the parents of both Bitsy and Brad (one pair seems to be constantly on a cruise, and the other set is coping with the wife's cancer). Sami and Ziba Yasdan also l)ave many relatives, including Sami's mother, the; elegant and lovely Maryam, who c·ame to America nearly 40 years ago as a bride. Though her marriage was "arranged" by their. parents, she did fall in love with her husband. · She had · been an independent woman in Iran, in .the years before the Ayatollah, attending college and participating ill' protests against the Shah and his secret police. The story is told mostly · from Maryam's point of view, stressing both her loneliness and her love of the simple order in her life. Dave, Bitsy's father, a widower after the death of his beloved Connie, seems confused . and depressed. He falls in love with the elusive Maryam and asks her to many him at one of the family parties.

LOS ANGELES - When Joe Mantegna and Gary Sinise host Sunday 's annual "National Memorial Day Concert" in Washington they' ll have special guests on hand: relatives who served in World War II. "I'm going to be bringing my Uncle Jack this year," Sinise said, referring to 83year-old Jack Si ni se, who flew 30 missions over Germany as a B -17 navigator. Mantegna's ~uest of honor is his uncle, Wtlliam Novelli, also 83, who was part of Gen. George S. Patton's Third Army and is among several WW II veterans in Mantegna's family. They are just ·two of the many men and women whose military service' deserves the nation's attention and thanks, the actors said. · Memorial Day, Mantegna said, "very easily becomes one of those holidays that you put in your head as, 'Oh, what are we going to do Memorial Day weekend? We're going to have a barbecue; maybe watch the lndianapoli~ 500 .... "' "Or the ball game," interjected Sinise . "U nless there's some immediate relative that draws your attention to the meaning of the holiday it's very easy to forget," Mantegna said. "I would hope that people come away from the concert thinking. ' Wow, so this is w~at the holiday is about."'
