Loys celebrate 50 years 

Small Area Planning begins 

More than two dozen citizens 

turned out at West Pine Middle 

School Monday night for the 

first Area A community meeting 

as Moore County planners kicked 

off the county’s venture into 

Small Area Planning. A meeting 

at the Eagle Springs firehouse 

on Tuesday reportedly attracted 

a smaller crowd. 

Small Area Planning is a 

process of developing land use 

policies that apply to areas 

smaller than the county as a 

whole — in this case, “Area A,” 

a nearly 100-square mile chunk 

of the county with Seven Lakes 

and West End at its center. The 

boundaries of Area A correspond 

roughly to the boundaries 

of the district served by 

West End Elementary School. 

The county is holding four 

meetings in the area, looking for 

public input and steering committee 

volunteers. In addition 

to this week’s meeting at West 

Pine and Eagle Springs, there 

will be a meeting at West End 

Elementary School on Monday 

June 5, 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm and 

at the Jackson Springs Commu- 

nity Center on Tuesday, June 6, 

10:00 am to 11:30 am. 

The goal of the process, which 

is expected to take two years to 

complete, is the creation of a policy 

document — approved by the 

Planning Board and Board of 

Commissioners — that will help 

guide development and land 

use in the are for the next twenty-five 

years. 

During the meeting at West 

Pine Middle School, the planning 

staff provided some historical 

background on Area A, as well

Association Director Hugh 

Beckwith provided The Times 

with the following statement just 

before press time: 

“On Wednesday, May 24, the 

Seven Lakes West Landowners 

Association received written 

assurance from the North 

Carolina Wildlife Resources 

Commission that it would not 

patrol Lake Auman until the 

jurisdictional issue is resolved. 

Of course, whether or not the 

NCWRC will recommence patrols 

at any future date will depend on 

the nature of the resolution. 

The Association will make every 

Ada Noblit Loy and Calvin A. Loy, Jr. of Seven Lakes will celebrate their 50th Wedding 

Anniversary on June 3, 2006 with the renewal of their vows at Faith Baptist Church and a 

reception immediately following the ceremony at Seven Lakes Volunteer Fire Department. 

Mr. and Mrs. Loy were married on June 2, 1956 at Marcus Hook Baptist Church in Linwood, 

PA. Hosting the event will be their four children, Calvin A. Loy III of Charleston, SC, Timothy 

G. Loy Sr., of Newark, DC, Dawn A. Bouchelle, of West End, and Rick I. Loy of Cary. They 

have five grandchildren, Timothy G. Loy, Jr., Stacey A. Loy, Megan N. Loy, Rebecca A. 

Bouchelle, and T. J. Bouchelle. The Loys moved to Seven Lakes from New Castle, DE. Every primary, every general

the meantime, please safely

regulations.” 

Beckwith told The Times that 

the commission’s assurance 

had come in the form of an 

email from the NCWRC’s Chief 

of Enforcement, Colonel Kenneth 

Everhart. “Colonel Everhart 

expressed his appreciation for our 

landowners’ confusion and uncertainty 

during this period, and 

has acted to ameliorate it,” Beckwith 

told The Times in an email. 

“We certainly view it as an act of 

good faith.”

Meikle: Know the rules before you buy 

An unusually small crowd 

gathered for the regular May 

meeting of the Seven Lakes 

West Landowners Association 

[SLWLA] on Tuesday evening, 

May 23. But a full agenda provided 

plenty of information for 

those who did attend. 

Caveat Emptor. SLWLA President 

Jim Meikle began the meeting 

by encouraging prospective 

buyers of lots or homes in Seven 

Lakes West to become familiar 

with the covenants, rules and regulations, 

and architectural standards 

— before making an investment 

in Westside property. 

“I am constantly amazed by the 

number of requests from both 

current and new residents and 

landowners asking how they 

can sidestep our rules, regulations, 

or architectrual standards,” 

Meikle said. 

“These documents were created 

for peple’s safety, for protection 

of property or property values, 

or interest or respect due 

your neighbors,” he continued. 

The board is willing to work with 

members “as long as we stay 

within the intent of the covenants 

and rules and regulations,” Meikle 

said. “But we only grant variances 

if it is an absolute necessity.” 

Because prospective homeowners 

and landowners would 

be well advised to understand the 

rules that govern construction and 

other activities in Seven Lakes 

West before they buy, he said, the 

board will be asking local Realtors® 

to help make sure that 

the buyers they work with are 

well-informed on the subject. 

Patience. Without referring 

to any particular project or issue, 

Meikle asked members for 

patience and understanding as 

the board works on the various 

challenges presented by a rapidly 

growing community. 

Lifeguard shortage. Community 

Manager Tony Robertson 

announced that the pool would 

open Saturday, May 27. However, 

a countywide shortage of 

qualified lifeguards threatens to 

reduce the number of hours that 

the pool can be operated this 

summer, he said. 

“We have a pool manager and 

four lifeguards to cover 60 hours 

per week,” Robertson said. “That’s 

impossible.” Unless additional 

staff can be found, hours of 

operation will have to be cut 

back. 

During the Memorial Day Holiday, 

the pool will be open 1:30 

pm to 6:30 pm. After that, hours 

will be 4:00 

pm to 6:30 

pm until 

school is 

out on 

June 9. 

“Hopefully 

we’ll be on 

full operations after that,” Robertson 

said. 

Trailer enforcement. Robertson 

noted that rules against 

storing boats and trailers in 

yards have not be strictly enforced 

for the past six months, while the 

new boat and trailer storage 

yard was under construction. 

“The new yard is now ready,” 

Robertson said. “As of June 1, 

our compliance officer will be 

fully and 

wholeheartedly 

West Side Landowners 

Meeting 

5 /23 

enforcing 

the rules. If 

you have a 

boat or 

trailer in 

your yard, it’s time to get it out of 

your yard.” 

Later in the meeting Director 

Ray MacKay said progress has 

been slowing in moving boats and 

trailers from the old lot to the new. 

He encouraged residents with 

items in the old lot to contact him 

or the office to sign up for a 

space in the new lot. 

MacKay also noted that only 

sailors and short-term vacationers 

would be allowed to park 

boats or trailers in the lot across 

from Johnson Point. 

Finance. Virgil Reid, who took 

over the Treasurer’s duties from 

Lois Rocco after the annual 

meeting, provided a printed endof-year 

financial report as well as 

some detail on recent financial 

transactions aimed at winning the 

association a higher return on its 

investments. 

Funds have been moved from

Foxfire issues report on goose-killing 

Dogs killing geese was the 

subject of considerable public 

comment during the May 9 Foxfire 

Village Council meeting, as 

was reported in the May 12 edition 

of The Times. 

Residents expressed concern 

that Foxfire Police and council 

members had not done enough 

in response to two separate incidents 

in which a resident’s dogs 

killed Chinese Swan Geese that 

live in a Foxfire Resort and Golf 

pond along North Shamrock. 

In response to comments at the 

meeting, Councilman Carl Munro 

reviewed police records and 

other information on both incidents, 

producing a report that 

looks at the incidents and the 

response of both police and residents 

in some detail. Copies 

of Munro’s report are available 

for public review at the Village 

Hall. 

He provided the following summary 

to The Times: 

The review around the Chinese 

Swan Geese has been completed. 

The facts are as follows: 

• The violation that occurred in 

the latest incident was met 

with a citation on the day the 

violation occurred. The case 

will be heard in District Court 

on June 8th in Carthage. 

• The club who owned the 

geese is happy with the way 

the case has been handled 

and has elected to not have the 

deceased geese replaced. 

• The person who was threatened 

wants the matter ended 

and believes the best way to 

do that is to refrain from filing 

a complaint. 

• The owner of the dogs 

accused of killing the geese 

has accepted the responsi-

Foxfire Garden Club members 

met on Monday, May 8, 

their final meeting of the club year. 

Helen Munro, a Foxfire Village 

resident and an active Master 

Gardener, presented Marisa 

Back’s Power Point program on 

butterflies, titled “Flying Flowers,” 

which included exquisite 

photos of many different types 

of these beautiful creatures, 

their habits, their life cycles, and 

the kinds of plants recommended 

to attract them. The speaker 

answered numerous questions 

from her very interested 

listeners. 

At a brief business meeting 

following the program, outgoing 

President Sharon Thingstad 

was thanked for her many hours 

of dedicated work in the Garden 

Club’ s beautification projects.

Communication: Key to a better community 

by Don Truesdell, President 


Landowners Association 

Communication is the key to 

a better community. 

It is my intention to create an 

e-mail distribution list so we can 

easily communicate with all 

landowners with an e-mail 

address. 

Please e-mail your address 

to Debbie Caulk at 

sevenlakes@connectnc.net. 

Your e-mail address will be 

kept in strict confidence and will 

only be used for official Seven 


business. Our first e-mail will 

be a test and will take place 

within the next three to four 

weeks. 

We will also begin to post the 

minutes of our working session 

and open session to our website 

at http://www.sevenlakesnc.net. 

The first minutes to be posted will 

be from our working session 

scheduled for Thursday, May 

25 at 2:00 pm in the Conference 

Room located in the Seven 

Safety tips from 

Community Watch 

Here’s another friendly 

reminder from your Seven Lakes 

Community Watch. 

Even though we live in a gated 

community we still should have 

our guard up and pay attention 

to what is happening around 

us. 

The best security we can have 

here in Seven Lakes is putting 

the word out that if someone 

does something they should not 

be doing they will be punished. 

How can this be done? Simple: 

Everyone needs to keep 

their eyes and ears open. 

Roving Patrol will be starting 

soon, and their hours will vary on 

a weekly basis. If a landowner 

sees something that should not 

be going on then this is one 

option for them to call. Another 

option is to call the Sheriff’s 

Office non-emergency number 

(947-2931) , or if you suspect that 

the situation is serious enough 

then dial 911. 

Examples of things that people 

should start looking for and 

thinking about: 

1. Any person, or persons trying 

to solicit for business purposes 

door to door in Seven Lakes 

North or South. 

This is a prime example of 

how homes get robbed because 

someone will come to your door, 

knock then try and enter if no one 

is home. 

Also be aware of moving vans, 

trucks, and service vehicles at 

your neighbors houses. 

If you know the neighbor is out 

of town then this could be a 

problem. Call Security or the 

Sheriff’s office. 

2. Seeing people enter the 

community by breaking through 

the fence, either by walking in or 

trying to drive in. 

3. Checking your mail and 

then throwing away unwanted 

credit card offers, home equity 

loans, car loans anything with 

your name on it dealing with 

your personal credit in the trash 

cans in the mailroom – This is a 

way to suffer Identity theft. 

Take this material home and 

shred it then take it to the dump 

yourself. 

4. Do not give out any personal 

information over the phone 

unless you are absolutely sure 

of who you are giving it too. 

5. If you have a wireless network 

in your home then be sure 

to password protect it, and 

encrypt your personal information. 

People make a living by 

driving through neighborhoods, 

and stealing information directly 

from your home computer by 

scanning for Wi-Fi equipped 

houses. 

Remember the speed limit in 

Seven Lakes is 25 mph. 

You may have noticed recently 

the Sheriff’s Department is 

being a little more visible here in 

Seven Lakes. Do not speed. 

Volunteers are still needed 

for Block Captains for Community 

Watch. 

Call me at 673-2808, or email 

me at mdf3906@yahoo.com if 

you are interested.

Forum takes a look at the world of Islam 

by Rollin Tomberlin 

On Thursday, May 18, as a 

part of the Seven Lakes Forum, 

General Manila “Bud” Shaver, 

Retired, spoke eloquently on 

this complex subject to a large 

audience at the West Side Park 

Community Center. 

Prior to his address, Shaver 

traced multiple terrorist actions 

against the United States and its 

worldwide interests commencing 

with Iran’s takeover of our 

embassy in Beirut in 1979. 

He then offered his opinion 

that this was the true beginning 

of the assault on the USA, long 

prior to the events of 9/11. 

While tracing the history of 

Islam over the centuries, it was 

interesting to learn that it is one 

of only three religions which 

subscribes to the tenet that there 

is a single deity.The other two are 

Christianity and Judaism. 

Muslims believe that the 

prophet Mohammed was the 

appointed messenger of God 

and that the Koran, their holy 

book, is literally the embodiment 

of God. 

Hence, in the eyes of some 

Muslims, all other religions, consisting 

of “infidels,” in their words, 

are not to be abided. These radicals 

feel Islam’s destiny is to 

take over the world. 

While most Muslims in this 

country are good, peace-loving 

citizens, there is concern that the 

zealots among them may very 

well be manipulated in time. 

The growth of Islam among the 

world’s religions is also significant. 

In the early 1960s the number of 

Muslims was estimated to be 

somewhere around 430 million 

to 449 million. 

With the dramatic spread of 

their faith into the far-East, by the 

Westminster Bell 

Choir to perform 

The Westminster Concert Bell 

Choir, conducted by Kathleen 

Ebling-Thorne, will perform at 

Brownson Memorial Presbyterian 

Church in Southern Pines, 

on Wednesday, May 31 at 7:30 

pm. 

The concert is free and open 

to the public. Brownson Memorial 

Presbyterian Church is located 

at 330 S. May Street in Southern 

Pines. For more information 

call 910-692-6252 

The program will focus on 

original works composed for 

hand bells and arrangements 

of classics and hymn tunes. It 

includes Five Inscriptions by 

Cathy Moklebust, Fugue in G 

minor (“Little”) by Johann Sebastian 

Bach, Sabre Dance by Aram 

Khachaturian, and the jazz 

favorite Take Five. 

The 14-member Westminster 

Concert Bell Choir is composed 

of undergraduate and graduate 

students at Westminster Choir 

College of Rider University in 

Princeton. 

Hailed for its virtuosity, the 

Westminster Concert Bell Choir 

uses the largest range of hand 

bells in the world – 8 octaves, 

from C I to C9. 

Many of the bells are made of 

bronze and range in weight from 

four ounces to 11 pounds; the 

Choir also uses the large “Basso 

Profundo” aluminum-cast bells 

that are a new phenomenon in 

hand bell ringing. 

The Choir supplements their 

hand bell set with a six-octave 

set of Malmark Choirchime ® ) 

instruments from C2 to C8 – 

the widest range in existence.

Do you know the name Rafael Peralta? 

Home of the Brave: 

Honoring The Unsung 

Heroes In The War On Terror 

by Casper Weinberger 

and Wynton C. Hall 

Review by Tim Smith 

This is a wonderful book. The 

late Casper Weinberger and 

Wynton C. Hall gathered together 

the incredible, true stories 

about 18 of the brave men and 

women fighting in The War On 

Terror. 

These men and women are 

some of the most highly decorated 

Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen 

and Marines serving in our military 

today. 

But, as inspiring as these stories 

of courage are, they have 

been virtually ignored by mainstream 

media. Why? 

The authors explain that, if 

we were living in an earlier time, 

these men and women would be 

honored by us for their bravery 

and selfless service.Their pictures 

would be all over the front pages 

of our newspapers and magazines. 

They would be given ticker 

tape parades. They would 

have schools named after them. 

They would be hailed as American 

Heroes by the media. 

Not today. According to Weinberger 

the media is ignoring 

these real-life heroes because 

they don’t “sell.” 

Tragedy sells. 

Hollywood “heroes” sell. 

Sports “heroes” sell. 

Talking geckos sell. 

But real-life heroes are ignored. 

Don’t believe me? 

While I was preparing this 

review, I decided to conduct a little 

experiment. I wrote down a list 

of names including Tom Cruise, 

Donald Trump, Tiger Woods and 

Rafael Peralta. 

Everyone surveyed knew Tom 

Cruise, Donald Trump and Tiger 

Woods. Only one person knew 

who Rafael Peralta was.

Film documents resistance to Nazis 

By Ellen Airs 

Sophie Scholl — The Final 

Days comes to the Sunrise Theater 

on Tuesday and Wednesday 

evenings (May 30 and 31) at 

7:30 and Wednesday matinee at 

2:30 as part of the Adult Academy 

at West End Presbyterian 

Church. 

This 2005 Oscar nominee for 

Best Foreign Language Film 

and winner of numerous European 

awards outlines Sophie’s 

brief life through flashbacks and 

then details the final days of 

her trial and bravery in outsmarting 

the judiciary, even to the 

end. 

None of this material was 

available until after Nazi files 

were opened in the 1990’s after 

the fall of the Berlin Wall. 

Sophie Scholl, a 21-year-old 

student at the University of 

Munich, was a founding member 

of the White Rose, a resistance 

movement against Hitler’s tirade. 

She and her brother, Hans, had 

joined the Hitler Youth in the 

1930’s and initially believed that 

Hitler was leading his country 

back to greatness. 

As the war progressed and 

they saw Hitler send hundreds 

of thousands of Germany’s citizens 

to die, they started publishing 

and distributing pamphlets in 

1942 against the war. These 

went as far north as Hamburg 

and east into Austria and created 

havoc with the Gestapo. 

Eventually, she and her brother

UNC-Charlotte track team signs Williams 

Chase Williams, a Seven Lakes 

North resident, has accepted a 

scholarship from the University 

of North Carolina - Charlotte 

49er’s to run cross country, track 

and field as a mid- and distance 

runner. 

Williams, a senior at Pinecrest 

High School, is the son of Ronnie 

and Tonya Williams. 

Williams joins the 49ers after 

earning All-America notice in 

the 4xMile and 4x800 at the 

2006 Nike Indoor National Meet. 

A scoring member of the 2004 

4A State Cross Country Championship 

Team at Pinecrest, he 

earned Runner of the Year honors 

during cross country for 

Pinecrest High School in 2003 

and 2004. 

He was also Runner of the 

year on the track in 2005. That 

season, he placed third at the 4A 

North Carolina Outdoor State 

meet in the 1,600. 

Williams placed tenth in the 

state of North Carolina his junior 

year for cross country. 

Forty-Niners Coach Brad Herbster 

said, “We first saw Chase 

race his sophomore year at the 

State meet and were impressed 

with his guts and determination.” 

“Last spring, we saw him race 

again at the State meet, and

he performed well. Then last 

fall, with very little training due to 

an injury, he came back and 

helped his team to a second 

place finish at the state cross 

country meet. From that point on 

we decided to pursue him and 

we think he can be an excellent 

collegiate athlete.” 

“He has a lot of speed,” Hebster 

added, “and he can kick 

down as many people as you 

want.” 

“I believe that Charlotte can 

help me become the best runner 

I can become in college,” Williams 

said, explaining his decision to 

accept the offer from the 49ers. 

If you are about to close 

the sale of your home, there 

are steps you should be 

aware of to make the closing 

as smooth as possible. 

Normally, you and your 

attorney will be responsible 

for drawing the new deed 

and bringing this document 

to the closing. The purchase 

of tax stamps may also be 

necessary. You will need a 

copy of your most recent tax 

bill, which should be 

receipted if it has been paid. 

If the insurance or mortgage 

is to be assumed by the new 

buyer, you will need these 

payment books, policies, etc. 

When the sale involves 

income, as for rental properties, 

the seller should bring 

leases, rent schedules, 

“The team, the coaches, and 

the University itself are all great. 

Also, I want to run with a team 

that is 100% committed to running 

and also are good influences 

academically and athletically.” 

With only one senior on the 

49ers squad for next year, 

Williams and the six other freshmen 

signed by UNC-C are likely 

to be key contributors to the 

team’s success in the coming 

year.

Webelos make the jump to Boy Scouts 

by Greg True 

On Friday, May 12, the Webelos 

Scouts of Pack 98 were 

crossed over from the Cubs 

Program into the Boy Scout 

Troop. Ten boys joined the troop 

that evening after they recited the 

Scout Promise, Law, and Oath. 

After each promise was recited 

an older scout shot a flaming 

arrow into the sky to fall into 

the pond. The younger Cubs 

watched as the arrows flew from 

the bow to arch over the water 

and come back down to the surface. 

There was total silence 

over the crowd of parents and 

children as all eyes watched. 

The evening also served to 

present each of the boys their well 

deserved merit badges and 

advancement in rank. This is 

one night during the year that the 

Troop and the Pack come together 

to combine award ceremonies 

so the new scouts can be inducted. 

After the new Scouts were 

introduced into the Troop they 

were lead off by torch to a special 

reception for them and their 

parents.The older scouts had prepared 

cobblers over a campfire 

in Dutch ovens to serve at the 

gathering. They would spend 

their first night in the Troop with 

the older boys camping. 

The boys were brought to this 

point in scouting by leaders Robbie 

and Eric McInnis. The husband 

and wife have worked with 

the boys for a total of four years, 

serving as their leaders for the 

past two. 

When asked what they were 

looking forward to the most about 

moving up into the troop, the 

boys responded with shouts of 

“more camping, more activities, 

summer camp.” They were all 

very excited and enthusiastic. 

The new Scouts woke the 

next morning to breakfast being 

cooked and served to them by 

the leaders and their fellow 

scouts. This was a weekend to 

honor and serve the boys for 

their accomplishments. They 

participated in a fishing tournament. 

Troop 98, sponsored by West 

End United Methodist Church, 

was chartered in 1947. 

Dwayne Parsons, himself an 

Eagle Scout, serves as the Troop 

Scoutmaster. He led the group 

in a song during the evening 

ceremonies.The troop has strong 

support from many of the other 

parents under the guidance of 

Parsons. 

The scouting program in West 

End is strong. Currently in the 

troop there are two Eagle Scouts 

and two others that have completed 

their Eagle requirements. 

The Eagle is the highest rank to 

be achieved in Scouting. Nine 

other boys in the troop are currently 

Life Scouts, one rank 

away from completion of their 

Eagle.This is a major accomplishment 

as a troop and Parsons and 

the other leaders are very proud 

of the boys for their dedication 

and work to get to this level. 

The scouts work hard on their 

advancement and enjoy the 

many outdoor activities Scouting 

offers, they are also busy working 

to raise money to build a 

new permanent scout lodge in 

West End.They have already built 

a shelter on the property and use

Shaver to oppose Boylan for House seat 

(Continued from front page) 

Perhaps more important as 

a motivation for Shaver was the 

involvement of interests outside 

the county, providing money and 

volunteers to work for Boylan 

— or, perhaps, to work against 

Morgan. 

“That had nothing to do with 

politics,” Shaver told The Times, 

“it was, plain and simple, a 

vendetta against Morgan.” 

The result of so much “outside” 

money being involved in the 

campaign, Shaver said, is that “a 

lot of people think Boylan is 

owned by interests in Raleigh.” 

A Shaver-Boylan race, he said, 

is unlikely to attract outside 

money — now that Morgan is out 

of the picture. “I don’t see them 

interfering in a race between 

Joe and I,” Shaver remarked. 

So the winner of that contest 

can serve in the State House as 

the clear choice of Moore County 

voters, Shaver said. 

He added that he and Boylan 

share a conservative point of 

view, though Shaver said he is 

particularly attuned to the needs 

of retirees — particularly government 

and military retiress — 

and of active-duty military personnel. 

Shaver provided The Times 

with a summary of his reasons 

for running, as well as his community 

service activities. That 

summary, in Shaver’s own words, 

appears in the paragraphs that 

follow. 

Why is Bud Saver 

Running for Office? 

I have chosen to run for the NC 

House of Representatives District 

52 in the November general 

election as an Unaffiliated 

Candidate for the following reasons. 

I feel that the May 2nd primary 

election for House District 

52 was absolutely deplorable 

and frankly besmirched all 

involved. The massive interference 

in our District’s primary 

election by the National Republican 

Committee and State 

Republican Party in contradiction 

to their Plans of Organization 

has set a very undesirable precedent 

for future elections. 

In my opinion, the election 

was not about who would be 

the most qualified individual to 

represent Moore County but 

rather was a long standing, well 

financed vendetta against Representative 

Richard Morgan by 

Mr. Art Pope. Unfortunately, a 

large number of people now 

perceive that Mr. Boylan is 

beholden to the powers in Raleigh 

as I am sure there will be those 

who will perceive I am nothing but 

You Are Invited 

a “Morganite” which will be a 

surprise to Mr. Morgan considering 

the number of times we 

have disagreed. I don’t believe 

Mr. Boylan wants to go to Raleigh 

with that questionable millstone 

around his neck. 

I also believe there will be no 

further interference by the National 

Republican Committee, the 

State Party Headquarters or Mr. 

Pope as they have accomplished 

their objective of defeating Representative 

Morgan. 

Therefore, an election between 

me and Mr. Boylan will give the

Shaver 


Raleigh will get a legislative representative 

whose primary concern 

will be to respond to the 

interests of District 52’s and 

North Carolina’s citizens and 

not that of others. 

What has Bud Shaver done 

for his country, county and 

fellow citizens? 

1. Has served our country for 

33 years rising from the rank 

of a draftee private to Major 

General during which time he 

was a Distinguished Graduate of 

the Army’s Command and General 

Staff College and also is a 

graduate of the Army’s War College. 

Both are considered equivalent 

to advanced educational 

degrees. 

2. Has served the county in 

the following capacities and is 

familiar with its various needs. 

a. Has been a member of the 

Moore County Welfare Reform 

Committee. 

b. Was past president of the 

Moore/Sandhills Coalition for 

Human Care. 

c. Was one of the originators of 

the Empty Stocking Program 

and in 1995 received the 

National Guard Association’s 

Patrick Henry Award for community 

service. 

3. Has sought justice for his 

fellow citizens by being an active 

leader in two lengthy successful 

lawsuits with the State of 

North Carolina because of its illegal 

taxation policies. 

a. The Bailey, Emory, Patton vs. 

North Carolina government 

(city, county, state, federal 

civil service and military) retiree 

lawsuit. 

b. The Smith/Shaver vs. North 

Carolina Intangibles Tax lawsuit 

where those Shaver lawsuit 

eligible intangible taxpayers 

(those who paid but did not 

know to protest) received 

100% of their principle plus 6% 

interest for one or more of 

the tax years 1990-1994 without 

having to risk or invest 

anything. 

To qualify I must obtain 2,040 

petition signatures in support 

of my candidacy. I hope you will 

support my petition and my candidacy 

in the forthcoming fall 

election.

OPINION 

Seven Lakes Times 

May 26, 2006 

Maybe we can 

get Pete Seeger! 

Picketing for a cause seems 

to be the thing to do these 

days, and so I want you to 

gather up some large pieces of 

cardboard and poles and come 

over to my house. We are going 

to march around in angry 

protest. 

Where? 

We are going 

to picket 

restaurants,furniture 

stores, 

plumbing 

manufacturers, 

and 

doctors 

offices 

among other places. 

Why? 

Well, take your carpenters 

rulers and move about your 

house measuring the height 

of the seats of your chairs. 

Okay, what have you found? 

Seventeen inches, right? Now 

who were these chairs designed 

for? Probably grade school 

kids, race horse jockeys, and 

Mickey Rooney. And when? 

One hundred years ago probably. 

Statisticians tell us that we 

Americans are living longer 

and growing taller and experiencing 

more and more arthritis 

in our joints. I am in my 

eighties and have arthritis in my 

knees and shoulders. I have 

increasing difficulty sitting in seventeen 

inch chairs and pushing 

myself out of them especially 

chairs without arm rests. All 

of you youngsters are going to 

Letters to the 

Editor 

be in your eighties some day. 

Check your doctor’s waiting 

room next time you have an 

appointment. Seventeen inch 

chairs, right? And many without 

arm rests. 

Now check the restrooms 

of stores, libraries, offices and 

other public places. What are 

the heights of the toilet

Thoughts 

Oliver Gossard 

seats in those restrooms? Less 

than seventeen inches, I’ll bet. 

And many of them do not have 

any grab bars nearby. 

I must tell you about a delightful 

restroom that I found in a discount 

store between Chapel Hill 

and Durham years ago. Once 

in that restroom, I found a 

camode that was so high that 

my feet barely touched the 

floor. Delightful. On the wall was 

printed an angry graffiti. It read, 

“This damn toilet was not 

designed for you and me. It 

was built for the the center of 

the Duke Basketball Team!” 

And so, folks, come over to 

my house with cardboard, a 

black marking pen, comfortable 

shoes, and a will to march 

for justice for seated Americans. 

Maybe one of you could 

compose a protest song – 

something like “Death to the 

Seventeen Inch Chair.”

‘Blended’ board needs 

input from community 

Dear Editor: 

It occurred to me that we will 

never have a truly “new” Board 

of Directors, simply because 

some members leave and some 

stay on after an election. To be 

truly “new” the Board would have 

to turn over completely. 

Therefore, our current Board 

is a “blended” one. As part of the 

current “blended” Board this 

year, I am confident that we can 

be both responsive to our community 

and responsible for significant 

change. To be an effective 

functioning unit, however, 

we need several things from the 

community. Here they are: 

Dear Editor: 

An article in The Times of 

May 12 points out several things 

regarding mail on the West side. 

I read in one of the reports that 

there were adequate boxes to 

handle the future expansion. 

Also it indicates the structure 

is in need of repairs and proposed 

expense is $500,000. It 

pointed out the structure was 

built in 1988. 

Does that mean that a home 

built in 1988 or prior should be 

replaced? 

Insofar as parking space is 

concerned, I have lived here 

14 years and to date have had 

no problem in parking to get 

my mail. 

If some people would not sit 

in the parking lot reading their 

mail (take it home) taking up 

space and those who stand 

around socializing taking up 

several spaces there would also 

be more room. 

If expansion was ever needed, 

there is plenty of room above 

the mail house by removing 

some trees, to put in more parking 

area. This plus minor repairs 

to the existing house would cer- 

First, we need your help in 

defining what changes or 

improvements 

you would like 

to see; what 

suggestions 

you may have 

for improved 

services and 

what constitutes 

good 

governance. Make 

your wishes known to us, but 

understand that there will be 

some disappointments because 

everybody can’t be accommodated 

every time. 

Second, we need a clean slate 

Westside mailhouse 

problems overstated 

tainly not come to $500,000. 

Finally, putting mail boxes in 

front of each house would certainly 

change the landscaping 

and looks of the area. 

I have seen them at other 

places and I do not consider 

them attractive. I would not care 

to have someone else pick out 

what I can put in my front yard.

Editor 

to begin with; perceived or real 

failures in the past must remain 

there. Bring 

current issues 

to us in a civil 

manner so that 

we can begin 

to address 

them with a 

fresh approach. 

I’d like to see 

us put past differences aside 

so we can go forward working 

together. Dragging old baggage 

behind just hinders progress 

and really is counterproductive. 

And finally, come to our meetings; 

they can be an opportunity 

for you to get to know us as fellow-landowners, 

make your 

concerns known, and generally 

help us to make our community 

the place you want it to be. 

We will all benefit in the long 

run. 

We have some new and exciting 

approaches to issues in our 

plans for this year and we look 

forward to sharing them with 

the community. 

For now, the new blended 

Board asks for your help in forging 

a true spirit of cooperation, 

and your willingness to “move 

past” any failures, perceived or 

otherwise, of previous Boards.

OPINION May 26, 2006 Seven Lakes Times Page 25 

Adolescents deserve special care 

Today was a special day in 

our church. It was a day of celebration 

honoring this years 

seniors, who are about to graduate 

I love children of all ages, 

but I must admit that after teaching 

them for twenty-two years, I 

have a very special feeling about 

teenagers. 

It makes me angry when I 

hear statements about “rotten 

teenagers.” Kids who create 

problems are kids who have 

problems. 

I must admit that the young 

people I watched today probably 

have a “leg up” over many others 

because of the attitudes and 

knowledge engendered by the 

church people who have devoted 

so much time working with 

them and by the parents who 

have cared enough about them 

to help create positive and loving 

atmospheres. 

Adolescence is both a physically 

and an emotionally difficult 

period for most teens. We want 

to see adult behavior, but many 

parents don’t understand that 

teen brains are not fully developed. 

Teen emotions can run the 

gamut of highs and lows – soaring 

one day and in the depths the 

next. Newly emerging and developing 

sexual feelings although 

anticipated may create fears, 

frustrations, and lack of confidence. 

Kids will never admit it, but 

having to stay within the parameters 

of rules and regulations 

actually adds to feelings of security 

plus the realization that parents 

care enough to be concerned 

about the safety of their 

offspring. Plus, it gives them 

reasons to avoid risky behavior 

rather than just saying “no, I 

don’t want to.” 

Most teachers are genuinely 

concerned about your child’s 

development and accomplishments. 

If you perceive a problem 

at school, I strongly urge you 

to make an appointment and 

meet with the intention of a positive 

discussion. To enter unex-

that starts at an early age. Pleasant 

and helpful talk over a period 

of time will truly help your 

kid make the “right” decisions. 

Genuine love, interest and

Welcome to IDD Therapy TM 

Medically supervised 

Non-surgical procedure 

IDD Therapy TM is a proven and effective treatment for 

the relief of lower back syndromes such as herniated 

discs, degenerative disc disease and facet syndrome. 

There’s no surgery. No injections. And for 

the majority of patients, relief from back pain. 

www.iddtherapy.com 

“My friends had told me about IDD 

Therapy because I had chronic back 

pain. I had hurt my back over 40 years 

ago doing construction work. The pain 

had finally gotten so bad I had to seek 

help. I went to Dr. Woodyear's office 

and asked about IDD Therapy and 

gave it a try. It was great. It was hard 

to believe that it worked. 

I would definitely recommend IDD 

Therapy to people with back pain. 

It was well worth making the effort to 

come in for the whole course 

of treatment — 20 days.”

LETTERS May 26, 2006 Seven Lakes Times Page 27 

Want to know more? Go to the meetings. 

Dear Editor: 

Mr. Yates letter titled “New 

SLLA board needs to communicate 

better” warrants a rebuttal. 

He should bear in mind that 

these seven members have 

been operating as a unit for but 

one short month. 

In that period of time they 

have accomplished more than 

could be expected and I believe 

that it is the consensus of those 

who have taken the time to 

attend the board meetings, that 

this new board is hard working, 

effective, and unusually responsive. 

If Mr. Yates had attended the 

April 20th work session of the 

board, he would have learned that 

the possibility of out-sourcing 

our security gate coverage was 

under consideration and that in 

all likelihood it would result in a 

cost saving. 

He also would have learned 

that the board would continue to 

provide 80 hours of “roving 

security” in–house because this 

was a function that SFI did not, 

could not and would not perform. 

Security was discussed again 

at the open meeting of the board 

on Wednesday, April 26th. If Mr. 

Yates had been at this meeting 

he could have asked about what 

he now terms “rumors of such 

action”. 

Mental Health 

Seminar Offered 

NAMI (National Alliance on 

Mental Illness) of Moore County 

is offering a free educational 

seminar, “Choices in 

Recovery” on June 5 at 

FirstHealth Moore Regional 

Hospital Conference Center, 

Rooms A & B (Rt. 211 and 

Page Rd., Pinehurst). 

This seminar will be to help 

patients and their families 

understand mental illness, 

its treatments, and how its 

treatment can lead to achieving 

therapeutic goals and 

recovery. 

A light supper will be served 

at 6:30 pm, with the program 

running from 7:00 to 8:30 

pm. 

For free registration call 

Judith Krall at 910-235-0303.

Had he done so, he would 

have learned that there was a 

substantial cost benefit to the 

community in 

the out-sourc- 

ing of this 

service. That 

he felt it necessary 

to call 

Vickie in the 

Landowner’s 

office is no 

fault of the board’s 

nor was it caused by any lack of 

communication on its part. 

The board simply cannot spoon 

feed information to every 

landowner on every decision 

taken on every problem con- 

fronting it. It is the resident’s 

responsibility to know what is 

going on within our gates, to 

attend open 

meetings and 


Editor 

if unsatisfied 

or perplexed, 

to ask questions. 

Those who 

have done so 

can’t help but 

be aware of the magnitude of the 

issues confronting the board 

and how diligent and hardworking 

the board is in dealing with 

them. 

JoAn Moses, herself a former 

director, said it best when on 

April 26, she went to the microphone 

and very earnestly said 

“I am thoroughly impressed with 

this board tonight, I feel you are 

a group of men who have the 

best interests of Seven Lakes in 

mind.” 

Thanks JoAn, I believe that 

the vast majority of those who 

know this board echo your sentiments.

Pherisis (Blood Platelets/Plasma 

Donation) is valued by the 

American Red Cross at three 

times that of a whole blood 

donation. 

Why? 

Because it is directed toward 

very specific current patients’ 

needs and the storage life of 

these blood components is limited 

to days and weeks. 

In 1994, a group of Seven 

Lakers started carpooling to the 

ARC Blood Center in Durham 

about five times a year to donate 

this very special “Gift of Life.” 

Pherisis donations go directly 

to area hospitals for the treatment 

of patients, many being 

children with leukemia, lymphoma, 

hemophilia, severe infections, 

burns and organ transplants. 

The eligibility for Pherisis donation 

is the same as for Whole 

Blood donation with the added 

restriction of no aspirin 36 hours 

prior to profusion.

All-Breed Dog Show is next weekend 

It’s time for the Annual All- 

Breed Dog Shows, Obedience 

& Rally Trials, presented by 

Moore County Kennel Club. The 

events are slated for Saturday, 

June 3 and Sunday, June 4. 

The Who’s Who of the Dog 

World will be showing up for 

one of the most prestigious AKC 

shows on the east coast. The 

shows will be held at the Pinehurst 

Harness Track and Polo 

Field with Top Show Dogs, Handlers, 

and Famous Dog Show 

Judges providing an exciting 

weekend. 

This annual show draws some 

of the foremost dogs in the show 

world with the participation of 

about 130 different breeds, 

approximately 1000 dogs from 

all over the US. Show Chairman 

Patty Pace states they will have 

the usual Sanctioned Breed 

Showing and also the Obedience 

Competitions & Rally Trials 

each day with Best of Show and 

Highest In Trial being awarded 

both days. 

There will be the competition 

among the seven different Breed 

Groups, (Sporting, Toy, Working, 

Herding, Non-Sporting, Terrier 

and Hound). The winner of 

each of these groups then competes 

for Best In Show and one 

dog is awarded the coveted Blue 

Ribbon. 

Obedience Chair Cindy Hartman 

reminds everyone that the 

Obedience Competition and the 

ever-popular Rally Trials give a 

dog and his handler (most often 

his owner) the chance to go 

through their routines. These 

canine participants show their 

skills and go on to hopefully win 

High In Trial or High Combined 

and first in Rally classes. 

The shows begin at 8:00 am 

both days and continue on until 

Best In Show at approximately 

4:00 pm. There is a Parking fee 

Harry sez: 

BIG DOGS 

Walk softly — 

and leave no 

trace! 

of $3 per vehicle but no charge 

per person. There are bleachers 

at some of the rings, but it is 

suggested that you bring your 

own lawn chair for your own 

comfort. 

Booths will be selling Pet Supplies, 

Dog and Human goodies, 

and a variety of other interesting 

booths plus several Food 

Spots for the Humans. 

The club’s Educational Pet 

Information Booth will be on 

hand to answer any dog-related 

questions. The members remind 

everyone that this is a fun family 

event. 

The club will sponsor the 

Microchip Clinic, which will be 

held at Barn 10 located right 

off the actual show grounds. 

Microchips provide pet owners 

with a more permanent way to 

I.D. their pets. This procedure 

allows pets to be (1) micro 

chipped with a HomeAgain® 

microchip, (2) enrolled in the 

HomeAgain Pet Recovery Service 

program, and (3) visibly 

identified with a yellow tag 

attached to their collars. 

Local Veterinarians, who are 

always on site for the shows, 

conduct the Clinic. Vet. Techs, 

from the Vet Tech Program at 

Central Carolina Community 

College, will be assisting. Anyone 

caring to have their pets 

(both dogs and cats) properly 

identified can bring them to the 

clinic and have them micro 

chipped in a minute. 

The Clinic is open both days 

and will begin at 11:00 am until 

3:00 pm the cost will be $20.This 

is an invaluable safety procedure 

for your pets. 

Two special events offered for 

the first time this year are the 

appearance of the Military Working 

Dogs and their Handlers 

from Fort Bragg at 12:00 noon 

Saturday only. The demonstration 

will show just some of the 

work that these dogs and their 

handlers do everyday all over the 

world. The demo will last approximately 

45 minutes, so get there 

promptly at 12:00 noon to see it 

all.

NCWRC suspends Lake Auman patrols 


olution to the question of NCWRC 

jurisdiction on Lake Auman. 

It’s more than a month after 

NCWRC officers spent Easter 

Sunday handing out tickets on 

Lake Auman and three weeks 

since an attorney for the SLWLA 

made the association’s case 

that Lake Auman is a private 

pond exempt from NCWRC 

enforcement activities. 

But there’s still no decision 

from the commission or Norman 

Young, the Assistant Attorney 

General working on the 

jurisdiction issue. 

Beckwith seems more or less 

confident that whatever is going 

on behind the scenes is moving 

in the right direction. He told 

members who attended the 

SLWLA’s Tuesday, May 23 

monthly meeting that the association 

is “in the midst of a constructive 

dialog” with the NCWRC. 

“I can’t tell you how it is going 

to come out,” Beckwith said, but 

he added that he was “convinced 

there is going to be a 

positive resolution.” Acknowledging 

that the process is moving 

slower than the board would 

like, Beckwith noted that “we 

are dealing with a government 

agency” and “from their perspective, 

they are moving quickly.” 

Beckwith was able to offer 

boaters who received tickets 

during the Easter Sunday raid 

one piece of good news: the 

court dates for their citation 

hearings have been continued for 

sixty days. Beckwith said the 

commission unilaterally asked for 

the continuance. 

“We continue to believe there 

will be no convictions,” he said, 

“because we don’t believe anyone 

is guilty of anything.” 

Boaters concerned about the 

prospect of enforcement activities 

during the Memorial Day holiday 

asked Beckwith during Tuesday 

night’s meeting whether the 

commission had agreed to suspend 

enforcement until the matter 

is settled. 

“The good faith expectation 

is that we will have no further visits 

until the matter is settled,” 

Beckwith said, “and we are working 

to confirm that.” However, 

he could not, on Tuesday night, 

offer any guarantees. That was 

before Beckwith received the 

email from Colonel Everhart on 

Wednesday. 

Dale Erickson urged that the 

board “accelerate its sense of 

urgency” in pursuing that guarantee, 

noting that he had not 

registered his boat with the state 

because he felt to do so would 

acknowledge state jurisdiction on 

Lake Auman. 

“A number of people feel if 

they buy a [state]sticker that we 

are accepting the fact that it is a 

public lake,” Erickson said. 

Beckwith said it would be 

impossible to accelerate the 

sense of urgency because the 

board was already motivated to 

resolve the issue as quickly as 

possible. 

“I do agree that it is frustrating 

for people to feel they can’t use 

the lake because of fear that 

they will be ticketed,” he added. 

Tony Rocco urged the board 

to develop a plan to deny Wildlife 

officers access to Lake Auman, 

should they return before the 

jurisdictional issue is resolved. 

Though he did not spell out 

exactly what he had in mind, 

he noted that the board could call 

on plenty of community volunteers 

for assistance. 

“The best way to get this 

resolved is not to make this confrontational 

and adversarial,” 

Beckwith said. “We have tried 

very hard to bargain in good 

faith.” 

Responding to a request from 

Ronnie Milligan for more information 

on the on-going communication 

between the board, the 

NCWRC, and their respective 

attorneys, Beckwith said, “There 

have been conversations 

between our attorney and their 

attorney. Some things are being 

discussed that are not appropriate 

to become public at this 

time.” 

“These are not public negoti-

ations,” Beckwith continued. “We 

do not have knowledge of the ultimate 

outcome. I have gone as 

far in describing the situation 

as would be prudent or appro- 

priate at this point.”

Meetings mark start of Small Area Plan 


as photos of a driving tour 

through the area that helped 

highlight its diversity. 

A new member of the planning 

staff, Chris Armstrong, presented 

one of the more dramatic 

facts about Area A. From 1820 

until 1979 — 159 years, she 

said, roughly 925 structures 

were built in Area A. In the 24 

years since 1980, 2112 structures 

have been built in the area. 

Planner Kathy Liles explained 

the potential impact of soil type, 

watershed protection, and flood 

plain mapping on development 

in Area A. 

Much of the area falls under the 

state’s “Watershed-II” designation, 

which limits development 

density to roughly one home 

per acre and also restricts the per-

Planning Director Andrea Surratt

processes that make up Small 

Area Planning, stressing the 

need for public input and for 

dedicated “stakeholders” to fill 

positions on the Steering Committee. 

Residents who attended the 

West Pine meeting Monday night 

expressed concerns that development 

in the area is increasing 

traffic in rural areas and putting 

pressure on water resources. 

Some also expressed concern 

that any plan for Area A

Quick work cleans up Auman gasoline spill 


Overall, the Association’s 

finances are “in real good shape,” 

Reid said. 

Lakeway Drive. Ray MacKay 

announced that a portion of the 

Lakeway Drive exit road will be 

closed from June 12 to August 

18, while Hudson Paving installs 

curbs and gutters and resurfaces 

the roadway. Once the 

job is finished, the roadway will 

be about fifty percent wider than 

at present, he said. 

While construction is underway, 

residents will be required to use 

the back gate to exit the community. 

The construction will stop 

short of the mailhouse, so residents 

will be able to come in the 

front gate, stop at the mailhouse, 

and then exit out the front gate. 

Asked why this summer’s work 

will not include the entire exit 

road, MacKay explained that 

the Parkwood subdivision that 

runs along the upper portion of 

the exist roadway includes nine 

lots fronting on Lakeway Drive — 

and nine potential driveway cuts. 

He said it makes sense to wait 

until the location of those cuts is 

defined before installing curb 

and gutter. 

In addition, it is possible that 

both the mailhouse and the front 

gatehouse will be remodeled in 

the next few years, making it 

desirable to delay repaving Lakeway 

in those areas.The entrance 

side of the roadway is expected 

to be paved next summer. 

Recreation. Betty Milligan 

noted that she had been able to 

work with the board as Recreation 

Director to respond to several 

requests from the community, 

among them: 

• Additional handicapped parking 

at the pool. 

• A drink vending machine at the 

pool. 

• A process for allowing private 

pool parties. 

• Allowing grandchildren to use 

the pool without paying a 

guest fee. 

“The board has worked with 

me, and I feel like we are making 

progress,” Milligan said. 

She reported that the Recreation 

Committee now has its

own web page on the SLWLA 

website at www.sevenlakeswest.org, 

where members can 

find listings of upcoming events 

sponsored by the committee. 

Tony Rocco asked whether 

the board had explored liability 

issues related to use of the pool 

for private parties and was told 

it is covered by the the existing 

association insurance policy. He 

encouraged the board to explore 

requiring the hosts of any private 

party to pay for supplemental 

coverage. 

Beautification. Milligan, who 

also heads up the recreation 

committee, reported that funds 

raised by the committee three 

years ago have recently been put 

to use planting flowering trees in 

the Lakeway drive mall below the 

mailhouse. Additional landscaping 

is planned for the area. 

Lake Auman. Director Mary 

Anne Fewkes said quick action 

by residents and members of 

West End Fire and Rescue last 

weekend had saved a boat from 

sinking and prevented a gasoline 

spill from spreading through the 

lake. 

Fewkes told The Times that 

she and her husband Bob 

Fewkes responded to a report of 

a deck boat sinking on the lake 

and found a strong odor of gasoline 

when they arrived at the
