Dog policy: ‘This is not being a neighbor.’

ees, including Mickey Lewis,
Carolyn Turner, and several parttimers.
This function was kept inhouse,
Florence explained,
becuase the number one complaint
that roving patrol must
deal with is roaming dogs —
“and SFI wants no part of loose
and roaming dogs.”
Florence said a Community
Watch meeting will be held in mid-
June; notices will be posted in the
mail houses once the date is
set.
Florence reminded residents
that the community-wide speed
limit is 25 miles per hour; he
noted that Sheriff’s Deputies
have been using radar for speed
limit enforcement in the community.
He asked residents to
make sure their guests hang
their guest passes from the rear
view mirror of their vehicle.
Architectural review. Ron
Richmond said his committee had
approved five new homes and
twelve requests for alterations and
additions in the past month. He
noted that the committee interviews
contractors personally
before approving projects.

Public Comment. Bill Price of
Pine Needle Drive raised an
objection to new policies regarding
stray dogs and skateboards
that were explained in a letter
from President Truesdell that
was included the the annual
dues packet mailed out last
month.
Truesdell’s letter noted that
the board had approved a new
policy that has SLLA employees
immediately turn over roaming
dogs to the Moore County
Humane Society, rather than
keeping them in a holding pen in
the maintenance area. Price
objected, saying his dogs, if
they escape his yard, are not
“strays.”
“If they get loose, I depend
on neighbors and security to let
me know,” Price said.
He also objected to the idea
that security or office personnel
would confiscate his child’s
skateboard or roller blades —
another policy Truesdell mentioned
in his letter. Referring to
the rules and regulations, Price
asked, “Where in this book does
it state that I as a Dad give you
authority to take anything off of
fine pruning of trees & ornamentals
tree and stump removal
plant site consulting & tree loss evaluation

my children.”
“This is not being a family,”
Price said. “This is building a
wall between neighbors. This
does not make me want to work
with you. This makes me want to
be agitated.These two things are
not looking out for me. I don’t like
it. If my guys do something
wrong, you can come and see
me and I will handle it.”
After some discussion back
and forth between Price and
Truesdell, the latter said: “We’re
just not going to see eye-to-eye
on this” and asked Price to speak
with him after the meeting.
Dave Kinney encouraged residents
to attend the introductory
Small Area Planning meeting
to be held on Monday, June 5 at
West End Elementary School.

Charlie Oliver of Cardinal Drive
praised board members for saving
the association money by

health benefits, among other
cost-saving measures.

the relief of lower back syndromes such as herniated

"I had back and leg pain for over six
months that was progressively getting
worse. I was sent for a MRI
which showed I had a herniated disc.
I knew that Dr. Woodyear had a
back machine and I heard it worked.
So I gave it a try, instead of surgery
and I am glad that I did. It worked
and I am pain-free. I have already
recommended IDD Therapy to my
friends that have back pain."
