The search for new Commu-nity Management was on theminds of the landowners whospoke during the Wednesday,July 29, Open Meeting of theSeven Lakes Landowners Asso-ciation [SLLA].

"I don't know why we are look-ing for a new manager or newsystem when we have the bestpossible manager right here, inChad Beane," Ron Richmond,who served on the SLLA Boardfor eight years, told Directorsduring the pulbic comment peri-od. "Chad is far and away themost knowledgeable, most help-ful, most thorough person I haveever had the pleasure of dealingwith."

ATwo-Track ProcessThe SLLA Board has been

engaged for several months in a

two-track process, managed byDirector Kent Droppers, evalu-ating two options for replacingCommunity Manager DaltonFulcher when he retires at theend of the year. One option is tosimply replace Fulcher with

another full-time, on-site managerheading up a staff that worksdirectly for the Association.

The other option is to hire acommunity management com-pany that would provide a full-time, on-site manager; a com-plement of other office staff; andaccounting, legal, and otherservices through a centralized"backroom" operation at the

company's headquarters. TheSeven Lakes West Landown-ers Association [SLWLA] hiredsuch a company — Communi-ty Association Services, Inc.[CAS] in October of last year.

"Looking at a company is hard-e r, " D ro p p e rsexplained duringWednesday night'smeeting, "becausewe have neverdone that before.So we started bylooking at compa-

nies." He said three manage-ment companies had made pre-s e n t a t i o n s to a n d b e e ninterviewed by Board members.The next step is for the Directorsto individually rank those com-panies. Then two, or possiblyall three, will be asked to makemore extensive presentationsdescribing how they would pro-

Security was at the top of theagenda for the Tuesday, July 28General Meeting of the SevenLakes West Landowners Asso-ciation [SLWLA].An advertisedappearance by Moore CountySheriff's Detective Kip Dennis todiscuss vandalism and othersecurity issues sparked a turnoutof wel l over one hundredlandowners.

The community also used theoccasion to celebrate its thirtiethbirthday, complete withcake and punch. VicePresident John Hoff-mann, presiding in theabsence of PresidentRon Shepard, explainedthat developer FredLawrence signed theoriginal covenants for SevenLakes West on July 27, 1979.

Hoffmann briefly recounted

the origins of Seven Lakes as awhole, noting that Lawrence

first envisioned the communitywhile on a bird-hunting trip toMoore County in 1971. Lawrence

began with a 1200-acre pur-chase that provided land for theNorth Side and most of theSouth Side, later adding anoth-er 400 acres to accommodate theSeven Lakes Country Club golfcourse.

Land for Seven Lakes Westwas purchased later from ClydeAuman, BIlly Johnson, and AlanMacDonald. At the time, therewas a five-acre lake on the prop-erty. But testing suggested there

was water enough to build alarge lake, and that gamble paidoff on Memorial Day 1994, whenLake Auman was dedicated afterthe water level reached its max-imum height.

Hoffman said lakefront lotswere originally sold for $35,000;interior lots, for $10,000.ThoughLawrence suffered financialreverses as a result of his invest-ment in the community, Hoff-

Overcrowding at Sequoia Point— and the bad behavior it seemsto spawn — were hot topics ofconversation during the Wednes-day, July 29 Open Meeting of theSeven Lakes Landowners Asso-ciation [SLLA].

Both Don and Donna Fent-zlaff took advantage of the pub-lic comment period to acquaintBoard members with problemsat Sequoia Point. Mr. Fentzlafdescribed persistent violations ofthe rule against swimming bythe boat slips — and complainedof half-hearted enforcement bySecurity.

Mrs. Fentzlaf brought along agallon-sized plastic bag half-fullof cigarette butts that she said shehad picked up off the SequoiaPoint beach in a two-day period.

"The beach at Sequoia Pointis like a giant ashtray," she said."I would like to see the Boardeliminate smoking on the beach.This is supposed to be an ameni-ty. It's absolutely awful."

"We're getting more and more

people moving in who useSequoia Point," Director BudShaver responded. "We're tryingto address that. Can we expandthe swimming area? Can we

put in more boat slips? Moreparking? We've got a real prob-lem there at Sequoia Pointbecause of the large number ofpeople that now use it. We rec-

ognize the problem but exactlywhat we're going to do, I can'tanswer."

Director Gary Caulk said therewere 400 people at SequoiaPoint on the Fourth of July — andanother 100 on the island.

Usage Fees the Answer?One way to control over-

crowding would be to make itmore expensive to use the Point,but the Board heard from severalresidents who objected to a plan,proposed by Community Man-ager Dalton Fulcher during theJuly 13 SLLA Board Work Ses-sion, to charge a fee for group

rental of the picnic shelters atSequoia Point: $25 for up to 25people or $50 for 25 to 50 peo-ple.

"We shouldn't have to becharged to use it," Mrs. Fent-zlaff said. "That is one of thethings that makes this all attrac-tive. That's not going to keepthe people from going there.Weshouldn't be charged for some-thing that is one of our amenities."

Her comments were echoed byRay Ulansy, Karen Enloe, andGeorge Temple.

SLLA Board Notes

(See“Sequoia Point,”p. 26)


A joint committee on roadpaving has been formed, draw-ing members from both thefinance and maintenance com-mittees, Treasurer Denny Galfordreported during the Wednes-day, July 29 open meeting ofthe Seven Lakes LandownersAssociation [SLLA].

Two members of the mainte-nance committee have walkedthe entire road network lookingfor key problem areas — likeDogwood and the curbing atthe Northside parking lot. Theirtwo-page report will be attachedto the Association's publishedminutes once they have beenapproved by the Board.

A key decision point, he said,is whether to begin repavingsooner, in order to improve theappearance of the community, orto delay for several monthsbecause the road deteriorationis not critical in most areas. Ineither case, crack-sealing, whichis best done during the coolermonths, is expected to go forwardin January and February.

Using a target date of Sep-tember 2010 for the beginning ofrepaving, the committee hasworked backward to identify crit-ical decision and action points:when to put the project out forbids, when to make an applica-tion for loans to cover part ofthe costs, etc.

Paving the twelve miles of pri-mary roads is expected to costroughly $800,000, Galford said,of which $300,000 to $400,000would be borrowed. "That financ-

ing is available," he added.

Committee ReportsThose who attended the July

29 SLLA Meeting heard sever-al committee reports:

Finance. Galford reported thatthe finance committee had meton July 14 and reviewed thecurrent financial reports, trialbalance, income statement, andinvoices. The five-to-ten-yearfinancial plan was also reviewed.Galford explained that one mem-ber of the committee reviewsthe plan monthly, the full com-mittee reviews and updates itquarterly. A revised version willbe published annually for reviewby the membership.

Galford reported that a draftaudit of FiscalYear 2008-2009 isin hand and the final documentis expected in short order.

The funds statement, whichtracks the allocation of Associ-ation funds among various bankaccounts, is now computerized,Galford said. It is prepared month-ly by the staff, reviewed by thefinance committee, and recon-ciled by one member of the com-mittee.

Work on the FY 2010-2011budget will get underway in Octo-ber, the Treasurer reported, not-ing he expects finance commit-tee members to play a largerrole this year because of Com-munity Manager Fulcher'simpending retirement in Decem-ber.

Reviewing the income state-ment in Fulcher's absence, Gal-ford reported that dues are eighty-

In a three-to-two vote Mon-day night, Moore County's Boardof Commissioners approvedschematic drawings for a newdetention center and public safe-ty building in downtown Carthage,despite protests from Carthageresidents.

Commissioners Tim Lea andCindy Morgan voted against thedrawings, both saying the rec-ognized they need for a new jailbut objected to the location.

Earlier in the process, Mor-gan and Lea voted to place thedetention center further downthe hill on the Grimm property,rather than adjacent to the exisit-ing jail.

The County purchased the21-acre Grimm Property, downMcNeill Street from the Court-house, for $1.5 million in 2007 asa site for the new buildings — adecision that Lea opposed atthe time, arguing that suitableproperty was available at a muchlower price.

Carthage resident Bert Patrick,who is a candidate for mayor inthis November's municipal elec-tions, used the Public Commentportion of the Commissioners'Monday, August 3 meeting todeliver a lengthy statementopposing a downtown location forthe new jail.

Patrick said the proposed facil-ity is, technically, a "detention

center" rather than a jail andthus could be used to housestate and federal inmates, includ-ing convicted felons awaitingtransfer to more secure facili-ties.

Patrick said she had beenassured by the Sheriff's Office thatthese more dangerous inmateswould not be housed in the newdetention center. "But I believe,if you build it, they will come," shesaid.

Noting that, in a July 20 meet-ing, Commissioner Morgan hadopposed placing a new CountyAdministration building on theGrimm Property near the jailbecause of safety concerns,Patrick asked, "What concernis there for the safety of the cit-izens of Carthage, and our chil-dren?"

"We're in too much of a hurryhere," she added. "We need toslow down and think about thisand do what is right for the peo-ple of Moore County."

Patr ick's concerns wereechoed by both Libby Moodieand Beth McNeeley, a lsoCarthage residents, who saidthey would not feel safe if thedetention center is located down-town. McNeeley said she hadheard from residents of Con-cord that a new downtown deten-tion center there had depressedthe values of historic homesnearby.

The Village of Pinehurst seemsdetermined to get into the waterbusiness, and that determinationtook a big step forward todaywhen the Vi l lage Counci lapproved the $5.5 million pur-chase of industrial water andwastewater treatment facilities onthe Lumber River near Wagramin Scotland County.

Council members voted unan-imously, during their Tuesday,July 28 meeting, to approve a let-ter of intent that provides for thepurchase of a water intake, awater treatment plant, a waste-water treatment plant, 198 acresof land around those facilities, and7.2 acres of easements that willallow the Village to reach thenearest state road with waterand sewer pipes.The water andwastewater plants were part ofa West Point Pepperell manu-facturing complex that is nolonger operational.

Water for the Next 50 yearsCouncilman Jeff Dawson told

reporters after the meeting thatthe purchase "solves the prob-lem of Pinehurst water for thenext 50 years."

Pinehurst currently consumesan average of roughly 2 milliongallons of water per day; usagecan jump as high as 3.25 milliongallons per day when dry sum-mer days spark more use ofwater for irrigation. The Pine-hurst system also supplies waterto Seven Lakes, through a watermain and booster pump stationon NC Highway 211. Seven Lakesusers can consume nearly900,000 gallons on peak usagedays.

The West Point water treat-ment plant is currently permittedto produce seven million gal-lons of water per day — twicePinehurst's peak usage. Its onlycurrent customer is a GulistanCarpet manufacturing operationthat occupies a portion of the for-mer West Point facility. The let-ter of intent obligates the Vil-lage to continue to supplyGulistan's needs, as well as upto 500,000 gallons per day to anyfuture tenants of the West Pointplant.

Partners NeededPinehurst's goal in purchasing

the plant is to provide more water— and, wastewater treatmentcapacity — to southern Moore

County; to do that, it will have toinstall eighteen miles of water andsewer lines — and find a cus-tomer or customers for its water.Pinehurst currently has no watercustomers; its residents areserved by a water and sewersystem owned by the county.

Dawson said the Village hopesto partner with other local gov-ernments — Southern Pines,Aberdeen, Moore County, and,perhaps in the future, Laurin-burg and Scotland County —in developing a plan for use of theplants. He noted that bothAberdeen and Southern Pineshad been receptive to the ideaof working with Pinehurst in thatregard. But he said the Villagehad not talked with Moore Coun-ty officials about that possibilityin advance of Tuesday's vote.

When The Times contactedBoard of Commissioners Chair-

man Nick Picerno and PublicWorks Director Dennis Brobstshortly after the Council meetingfor comment on the Village'sproposed purchase of the WestPoint plant, neither had heardabout the deal. Both Picernoand Brobst declined commentuntil they learned more aboutPinehurst's plans, though Brob-st did note that he and CountyManager Cary McSwain hadvisited the West Point plant andthat the county had expressedsome interest in purchasing it.

The West Point facility wasamong the water supply optionshighlighted in a 2007 study byMcGill Associates funded by thecounty and its municipalities.One advantage of the West Pointplant is its location on the Lum-ber River.

A large percentage of thecounty's population lies in the

Lumber River Basin and thecounty's Addor wastewater treat-ment plant discharges into theLumber.As a result, water takenfrom the Lumber River does notrun afoul of state InterbasinTransfer rules that limit theamount of water local govern-ments can move from one riverbasin to another. Water movedfrom the mothballed Robbinswater treatment plant to south-ern Moore County could bringthese restrictions into play, sinceRobbins lies in the Cape FearRiver Basin.

Expansion PossibleThe seven million gallons per

day the West Point plant cancurrently produce is two milliongallons more than the current totalproduction capacity of the coun-ty-owned Pinehurst-Seven Lakes

Water System. In fact, the McGillstudy puts the average dailydemand for all the water sys-tems operating in the county atjust under seven million gallonsper day.

Consequently, there may be noimmediate need to increase thecapacity of the West Point plant,but Dawson said expansion ofboth the water and wastewaterplants at the site is definitelypossible in the future, notingthat the Village plans to pur-chase nearly 200 aces of prop-erty in the deal.

Another possibility, he toldreporters, is to utilize the WestPoint water intake to withdraw rawwater from the Lumber Riverand pipe that to, for example,the water treatment facility inSouthern Pines.

Moore County owns and operates a public enterprise system, which in part provides water andwastewater services to County residents, including residents of Pinehurst. A portion of thewastewater system located around Lake Pinehurst was constructed in the late 1970s and has begun toshow signs of deterioration. Lake Pinehurst, which covers over 200 acres and is surrounded byresidential developments, is used for recreation, conservation, boating, fishing, and the irrigation oflocal golf courses.

Five pump stations located around Lake Pinehurst have been operating for approximately thirtyyears and are now in need of replacement. Most of the pump stations are located within thirty feet ofthe lake shoreline with attached lines under the lake, and any failure leading to sewer overflowswould have a significant impact on the water quality in the Lake and downstream water bodies.

Moore County received federal stimulus funding in the amount of $3 million from the ConstructionGrants and Loans Section in May 2009 to fund the replacement of the five pump stations in order tobring them up to current state regulations and proper working conditions. The project, which wasoriginally estimated to cost $3.8 million, was awarded to T. A. Loving Company on June 1, 2009 inthe amount of $2,761,430. By accepting and signing the Offer and Acceptance Letter on July 20,2009, the County is able to take advantage of $1.5 million in grant funding and $1.5 million in a loanto be financed for twenty years with zero interest. The Board of Commissioners has also adopted theLake Pinehurst Lift Stations Project Ordinance.

The County received notification from the Village of additional approvals and permit requirements,which could delay the project for several months. Delaying the project could result in the Countylosing the $3 million. The Village also informed the County that the scheduled pre-constructionmeeting should not be held. The additional notice requirements from the Village to the County wasalso sent to Dempsey Benton Jr., Director of the Office of Economic Recovery and Investment, whooversees statewide stimulus funding awards to local governments in North Carolina.

In the latest correspondence, the Village stated it possesses the power to apply its zoning and historicoverlay regulations to Moore County’s proposed projects, including the Lake Pinehurst lift stations;however, the Village is adamant they do not wish to jeopardize the federal funding granted to theCounty to complete this project.

Moore County has taken a legal position based on North Carolina General Statutes as well as caselaw that it can proceed with this project without the approval of the Village of Pinehurst. The Countyhas unsuccessfully made numerous attempts to resolve any outstanding issues regarding the projectwith the Village.

Moore County is the only entity to meet all deadline requirements for the stimulus funding,according to the State. As of July 15, 2009, the County has 420 days for substantial completion ofthe project and intends to meet all additional deadline requirements.

Moore County is committed to moving forward with this critical project with use of the stimulusfunding in order to benefit the ratepayers and citizens of Moore County.

The weather in Seven Lakesduring July was normal in manyrespects and variable in otherinstances. In early July, rainfallwas adequate followed by a twoweek period of hot-dry, muggyand humid days; where else-where in neighboring commu-nities therewere spottyshowers. Dur-ing the pastw e e k , w ewere blessedwi th abun-dant showersthat rejuve-na ted newgrowth.

In Seven Lakes, Beacon Ridge,and throughout the Sandhills,one can observe beautiful, flow-ering plants and shrubs every-where.

The old sod has been removedfrom the North and South gatesof Seven Lakes and new grasssod strips applied.This will hope-fully make these areas moreattractive.

Here are a few gardeningreminders for this time of theseason:

This is an ideal time to take soilsamples and send them in foranalysis.The NCDA Soil Testinglaboratory is less busy duringthe Summer months. Kits andinstructions may be obtainedfrom the Agricultural ExtensionService Office in Carthage. It isa free service…use it.

Check your flowering plants,shrubs, vegetable garden, andother plants for insects and ifdamage warrants it, treat with asafe, recommended insecticide.With the dry and dusty conditions,spider mites have been observedon plantings. Insecticidal soap

and superior Summer oil is help-ful to control some insects. Sevinand malathion are the old stand-bys that control many insectsbut each have some limitations.Dermethrin is sold under varioustrade names and is a relativelynew, recommended insecticidethat will control certain insects.

It’s time to fertilize your Bermu-da and Zoysia lawns for the sec-ond and final time this year. In theabsence of a soil test analysisreport, use a premium slowrelease 16-4-8, 15-10-14, or 18-3-11.As a general rule each bagwill cover five to twelve thou-sand square feet. Many of usstill like to use thirty-four per-cent nitrogen [from ammoniumnitrate] at the rate of four to sixpounds per 1,000 square feet. Inthe absence of a soil test analy-sis fertilize your azaleas, camel-

lias, and other permanent ever-green shrubs with a premiumslow release 10-10-10, or equiv-alent, at the rate of one table-spoon per foot of plant height.

Weed and grass control con-tinues to be a problem. Lastmonth considerable emphasiswas discussed in detail con-cerning controls. Rememberbroadleaf and woody plants canbe controlled with various 2,4-D,MappDiCambz, TriMac, and /orphenoxy type herbicides. Twoother products recommendedfor post-emergence overtop andcrops for grasses are Poast andVantage. RoundUp [glysophate]is a contact, non-selective her-bicide that kills everything it’ssprayed upon.

Use all gardening chemicalssafely, according to label instruc-tions and directions; and keep theresidues out of our lakes.Thesementioned pesticides may beobtained from Cardinal Chemi-cal Company in Aberdeen andpossibly from your favorite gar-den center.

Give your flower beds a boostwith a mid-Summer dose of liq-uid or granular fertilizer at the raterecommended on the package.

Prune and cutback your azal-eas, camellias, rhododendrons,and other bloom-spent ever-green plants as soon as possi-ble so that new bloom buds andgrowth will form for next sea-son.

Prune and cutback chrysan-themums for the final time toinduce compact growth and flow-ering.

Suggested vegetable gardenplantings include Bush beans,Southern field or crowder peas,and late tomato plants.

You can extend your garden-ing season by planting theseWinter vegetables: beet seed,broccoli, carrot seeds, cauli-flower seed or plants, also col-lard seeds or plants [if you canfind any available], and rutaba-ga seeds. Remember late veg-etable plantings require wateringplant food, sunlight, pest control,and tender love and care.

You’re driving down the roadwhen suddenly you see a horse

and rider up ahead. This isbecoming more common in theWest End area. The Devonaire4-H Horse Club of Moore Coun-

ty suggests the following safetytips to help motorists and ridersbe prepared to share the road.• For a horse and rider, safety

begins at home. In a safe envi-ronment, a rider should pre-pare their horse for potentialstartling agents such as road-side trash, bikes, bells, carsand horns.

• Choose your roads carefully,bearing in mind that NC lawrequires riders to travel withtraffic. A wide shoulder helpsensure that you and your horseare as safe as possible.

• Increase your visibility by wear-ing light colored or reflectiveclothing - and don’t forget towear your riding helmet.

• Communicate to drivers withhand signals, so that theyknow to slow down, and besure to thank them when theydo.

• Usually, riders can controltheir horses better from thesaddle, so if your horse getsspooked do not dismount.Remain level-headed andfocus on your horse.

Motorists should be awarethat NC law gives horses andtheir riders the right to use pub-lic roads and obligates motoriststo use reasonable care whennear a horse. Since horses star-tle easily, motorists should slowdown when approaching them,and pass slowly while avoidingmaking loud noises or suddenmovements.

By using a little horse sense,motorists and riders can sharethe road safely. Look for theDevonaire 4-H Horse Club “WhoaDown in Moore County andShare the Road” booth at theMoore County Fair, September

1-5. Stop by to pick up a brochureand learn more so that you, amotorist or a rider, can be betterprepared to share the road.

For information on the Devon-aire 4-H Horse Club, contactBever ly Wray at: wrayhi l l [email protected].

Mary Harvey prepared thisarticle as part of the Devon-

aire 4-H Horse Clubs’ commu-nity service project: 'WhoaDown in Moore County and

Share the Road.’ Their goal isto educate motorists and

riders about road safety forhorses & cars.

The newest addition to thesquad at the Seven Lakes Vol-unteer Fire Department [SLVFD]has one job: hauling water.

But this is no ordinary waterboy. It can move 3,000 gallons ofwater at a time and dump thatentire load in about two min-

utes.And it only takes a few minute

longer than that to refill at thenearest lake.

Truck 636 is a $234,000, 470horsepower water-movingmachine. SLVFD Deputy ChiefEddie Thomas told The Timesthat moving a lot of water quick-ly is particularly important in

western Moore County, where firehydrants are scarce as hen’steeth.

A single firefighter can usecan use 150-200 gallons of waterper minute when battling a blaze,so bringing water the scene is acritical job.

Truck 636 comes completewith its own auxiliary storage

— like a super-sized inflatable kid-die pool. The truck can fill up ata nearby water source — like oneof Seven Lakes’ eight lakes —move water to the scene anddump the entire load into the“kiddie pool,” allowing firefightersto use that resource while thetanker returns to the lake formore water.

There are three other high-capacity tankers in Moore Coun-ty, Thomas told TheTimes. Thepurchase of Truck 636 has beenplanned for some time.

“This is part of our five-to-tenyear planning,” Thomas said.

“Beacuse we have to rely onhauling water, it’s an importantpart of keeping our insurance rat-ing low.”

And maintaining that goodinsurance rating helps lowerhomeowners insurance costsfor all those in the department’scoverage area.

The truck was purchased fromFaust Brothers in Smyrna, GA.

Thomas told The Times thatSLVFD currently has twenty-fivemembers on the company ros-ter — “but we are always lookingfor more hands.”

Tetlow rescues ‘Casey’

Jordan Kennedy & Brittany Tetlow with Casey.

Jack Russell Terriers are known tobe ambitious little dogs, and North-sider Cindy Gesme’s Jack Russell“Casey,” proved true to his breedwhen he escaped from this leash andset off after a flock of Canada Geeseon the evening of July 27.

He chased them right into thewater, perhaps forgetting that hisswimming skills didn’t exactly rank himas a canine Michael Phelps.

Gesme toldTheTimes that Caseywas going under when Brittany Tet-low went into the water after him, res-cuing the little longhair and bringinghim safely ashore.

A Northsider as well, Tetlow is aPinecrest High School grad whowill soon be on her way to Boone tobeg in her f reshman year a tAppalachian State.

Gesme told TheTimes that she willbe eternally grateful to Teltlow for sav-ing her little friend.

PASTOR:REV. WES BRANDON

by Frank KrohnSeven Lakes Kiwanis

After having had very suc-cessful season, Jeff Hewitt,coach of the Pinecrest Base-ball Team, spoke to the SevenLakes Kiwanis on August 4.

Since becoming head coachin 2000, Coach Hewitt has com-piled the envious record of 168-74, and sent 28 players on to playbaseball at the college level.

One result of this record isthe heightened interest in thebaseball team at Pinecrest, andmuch larger crowds at the gamesthan previously experienced.

That has caused the rathernice problem of where to put allthe spectators, so they can viewthe games from a position ofsafety and relative comfort.

The school was successful inobtaining $60,000 towards thebuilding of a new stadium fromthe County, but that was farshort of what was needed to

build a facility that would reallybe much better than what theyalready had.

As a result, the Team/Schoolhas had a most successfulfundraising effort which has

brought in another $74,000, andwhich will now allows a stadiumsecond to none in North Caroli-na, to be built. Fundraising con-tinues so that some finishingtouches can be done to the areaaround the playing field itself.

It was evident from Hewitt’senthusiasm that his success isno accident. While he has builtup the program at Pinecrest

through challenging the kidsand developing a winning workethic, he has been careful to doso while being careful to notendanger the long term health ofthe players. He expects to haveanother good season next year.

Seven Lakes Kiwanis meetsevery Tuesday at noon at theSeven Lakes CC.

Those details are likely to beworked out as the Vil lageexplores partnerships with theCounty, Southern Pines, andAberdeen. Dawson said "it mademore sense for the Village tobe the owner of the plant andthen to figure out the partnership.It was more expedient for the Vil-lage to just buy it."

"We believe that well-inten-tioned people can come up witha lot of options, now that wehave this asset," Dawson added.

The deal has been in theworks for some time; Dawsonsaid the Village made its firstoffer for the facility on May 1.With the Council's approval of theletter of intent, the next step is forthe Village to do due diligenceon the facility, after which theCouncil will approve a final pur-

chase contract, which must alsobe approved by the Local Gov-ernment Commission in Raleigh.

Pinehurst had signed a lessdefinitive letter of intent earlier thisyear with the Town of Robbins,to explore whether the Villagecould participate in bringing theRobbins water plant back online to provide water to southernMoore County.

Dawson said Robbins haddecided that it was in their bestinterest to work instead with thecounty and noted the Villagehad contacted the Town inadvance of Monday's vote. Headded that a Robbins optionwould have in any case been lim-ited to about one million gal-lons per day of water production,compared to the much largercapacity of the West Point plant.

a June 8 vote that also split theBoard three-to-two with Lea andMorgan opposed.

The question on Monday nightwas whether to approve schemat-ic drawings prepared by architectsWare-Bonsall that the Commis-sioners had first seen in theirJuly 20 meeting.At that meeting,they asked the Major CapitalProjects Task Force to reviewthe plans and report back with arecommendation.

Chief Deputy Neil Godfreychairs the task force and toldCommissioners on Monday nightthat the group had voted ten-to-one in favor of the architects'plans. He took the opportunity toattempt to correct some mis-perceptions about the facility,as well.

Godfrey said a 2008 reportprepared by the consultantsSolutions for Local Governmentprojected that, in the worst case,the average daily population ofinmates that would need to behoused at the Moore CountyJail in 2030 would total 216.Thenew detention center will house192, while the existing jail can beused for another 68, yielding atotal of 260.

"Based upon the inmate pro-jection study, the new facilityshould meet the County's needsthrough 2030 — and hopefullybeyond that," Godfrey said.

He noted that the "supportcore" — including the kitchen,laundry, and other facilities, arebeing built large enough to servea population of approximately

500. "If you under-build the sup-port core, it is very expensive andproblematic to expand it later,"Godfrey explained.

Following Godfrey at the micro-phone, Sheriff Lane Carter toldthe Board that on Mondayevening, there were 150 inmatesat the county jail — 40 morethan it was designed to hold. Inaddition, another 23 had beenreleased to the day-reportingprogram, 33 were on housearrest, and 4 were in safekeep-ing. Problems with any of those60 could require that they bereturned to the jail immediately.

Were the jail inspected today,Carter said, the county would befound in violation and be givenfifteen days to develop a plan forreducing the inmate population.

"As your duly elected sheriff,"Carter said, "I would ask thatyou step up, and let's move thisproject forward."

"You do have my support thatwe need a new detention center,"Commissioner Lea told Carter."My issue is the location."

"Sheriff, I know you need thejail," Commissioner Morgan said."I don't agree with where it isgoing to be. So when I cast myvote tonight, don't think that Iam trying to slow down theprocess."

With that the Board voted onCommissioner Larry Caddell'smotion to approve the architect'sdrawings, with Caddell, NickPicerno, and Jimmy Melton infavor; Lea and Morgan opposed.

Inspector ContractTurned Down

The dispute over where toplace the jail, public safety facil-ity, and new county administra-tion building spilled over into avote on a technical matter dur-ing Monday night's meeting.VicWalk, the County's Construc-tion Manager, asked the Boardto approve the selection of engi-neering firm Kleinfelder South-east to conduct inspections thatwill be required during con-struction of the new county build-ings.

Commissioner Lea said hewould be voting against therequest because he didn't agreewith the location of the Admin-istration Building. "By locatingit next to the detention center, weare putting our employees inharm's way," Lea said.

He also said the choice wasnot in the long-term best interestof county taxpayers, since, even-tually, a new courthouse willneed to be built in close proximityto the jail. If the County Admin-istration building is built on theGrimm Property, he said, theonly option for a new courthousewill be to demolish the old jail —which could instead be used forstorage after it is no longer suit-able for the housing of inmates.

Chairman Nick Picerno thenasked Walk why the requestedapproval of the engineering firmdid not put a dollar value on thecontract. Unsatisfied with theresponse, he joined Lea andMorgan in denying a motion toappoint the firm.

"Go back and get us a correctprice and we will bring this backfor a vote," Picerno told Walk.

Board ofEqualization and Review

Review of contested real estatevaluations by the Board of Equal-ization and review resulted in atotal $17.5 million decrease in thevalue of the $180 million in prop-erty the Board reviewed in Fis-calYear 2008-2009, Board Chair-man Jerry Daeke reported tothe Commissioners during theirMonday meeting. The Boardreviewed 467 of the more than68,000 properties in the county.

Changes in the NC GeneralStatutes affecting the value ofLow Income Housing erased anadditional $8.2 million from the

total value of real property inthe county.

Since my minivan doesn’t qual-ify for that Cash for Clunkersprogram, I’m holding out hope thegovernment will step in and bailout my other clunker…the lagginglaptop.

‘I think I can, I think I can,’ Iswear I hear my computer mut-ter while I utter profanities.

“What is up with this &*#%machine?!”

Grinding, chugging, and everso slowly, it finally responds to myrepeated demands to upload,download – oh heck with it, justreboot!

However, since it’s unlikelyUncle Sam will come knockingon my door anytime soon to fix

my haywire hard drive, I’m gladI married well.

A doctor? A lawyer you ask?Nope, better…a computer pro-

grammer!And in today’s brave, new

world of technology and gad-getry, this a major spousal score.My trophy husband rocks, espe-cially when the Saturday ‘honeydo’ chore list includes weedwhacking and disc defragging,pruning shrubs and loadingupdated anti-virus software.Like a two-year old in daycare,operating systems are magnetsfor germs so it’s a good thing myDarling Hubby isn’t afraid ofcooties!

And once he gets the laptopand our lack-o-lawn back in tip-top shape this weekend, I’ll prob-ably toss in a request to check outthat not-quite clunker of a mini-van.

With oodles of on-board com-puters, I can only assume wepicked up a low-grade infection

somewhere along our Summertravels. First the remote controllock clicker died. Fresh batteries?Check. Fixed? Of course not.

And now, the driver’s sidedoor lock is on the fritz. Some-

times it’ll lockbu t o n lym a n u a l l y.And o the rtimes it sim-ply freezes inplace.

This is notgood.

Last week,when the vehicle in questionwas having a particularly badhair day, I threw in the towel andexited by climbing out the slidingrear doors after the kids. It was

like my own personal rendition ofa clown car routine which I deter-mined was still preferable to slid-ing out the window, Dukes ofHazzard-style.

But hey, maybe I’m on tosomething here with that ‘Cashfor’ program after all.

I’ll just rip off that giant, card-board hot dog and paint a Rebelflag instead on the minivan roof.Then I’ll dig through my closet fora pair of Daisy Duke shorts andbail myself out the side windowsomewhere along dealershiprow.

I figure those auto folks willeither be too confused or tooappalled to deny my less thanadequate clunker credentials.Hello new car!

This cash for clunkers thing has possibilities

Seven Lakes TimesAugust 7, 2009 OPINION

Pranks and vandalism! Van-dalism and pranks! These arewords we hear often, of late, atour Seven Lakes Board meetingsand along the Seven Lakesgrapevine.

I am sure these reports includea small minority of young personsin this area. But what of thelarge majority?

Let me tell you a true story.One day last week, as I left the

Food Lion on my way home itappeared that the sky was aboutto open up. A slight rain wasbeginning to fall as I drove pasttwo young boys seeming to berushing toward their destina-

tion. I drove past them as did thecar in front and in back of me.

As it began to rain harder, Iturned around in the BaptistChurch parking lot and picked theboys up. They told me theirnames without being asked,that they were from SouthernPines, juniors at Pinehurst HighSchool and spending the nightwith a friend on the North sideafter meeting him at the NorthClubhouse.We had a quick con-versation about friends, schooland the value of education.

At the clubhouse, the boysthanked me many times. Gettingout of the car one of them

reached next to me and put twodollar bills on the passengerseat. Telling them that I would-n't take the money and that it wastruly a privilege to meet suchnice young men, the speakerof the two said, “We don’t havemuch, but we would like to thankyou for picking us up.”

And the moral of this story ifthere is one: Let’s not worryabout the future of this younggeneration. If the great majorityis anything like these two youngmen there is nothing to be con-cerned about.

Have you ever wondered whatmakes person of depth? There’sno easy answer, except to saythat each person’s makeup is notidentical to someone else’s. Nev-ertheless, the recognition ofdepth is readily possible in manyinstances.

Have you ever observed, and

become enormously and per-manently moved by personswho fall graciously and effec-tively into step with admirableempathy of, for example, the

myriads of caretakers, both pro-fessional and volunteer, whopersistently transform theirnatures into loving concern andcare for those who are hurting?

The presence of volunteersas well as family members, whenapplied with persistence anddeep commitment, can be a

significant factor in help-ing to achieve a favor-

able outcome.Yes, they’re pret-

ty much unsungheroes and hero-ines. I can stillremember thesolid commitmentof both profes-sionals and vol-unteers during the

fifteen months of operations andrecovery periods I required as aWorld War II soldier. Yes, I cansee them now. Those peoplewere sent from Heaven.

Dear Editor:Several weeks ago, the Seven

Lakes Landowners AssociationBoard announced a campaign tocontrol speeding in Seven LakesNorth and South.

So far we've seen the rubberdoll parked inthe SheriffsPatrol car andt h e S p e e dIndicator Sign.The rubberdoll was thet a l k o f t h etown, but frommy observa-tions has hadno effect on speeding.

The Speed Indicator Signwhen it was working (I noticedthree days in a row, while it wasparked on Firetree Lane, that itwas either not working or turnedoff) seems to have no effecteither.

What about actually havingthe Sheriff set up radar and writesome tickets? I have suggestedseveral times in the past, to theBoard and to Mr. Fulcher. Mr.

Fulcher offered several excuseswhy the Sheriff couldn’t do that.

“The Sheriff does not haveenough manpower” — I saySeven Lakes is one of the largestpopulation centers he has topatrol, so how about patrolling it?

“The Sheriffdoes does nothave enoughradar equip-ment. I saidlet's donate ourdormant radarequ ipmen t .D a l t o n ' sanswer waswe couldn't do

that! Why not?On one occasion, when I

emailed the Board about thespeeding problem, I actuallyreceived a response from oneBoard member "that the Sheriffwould have to see someonespeeding in order to issue a tick-et." Well that's the idea, to actu-ally have the Sheriff (or one of hisdeputies) witness the speedingand issue a ticket.

And let's not blame the speed-

ing on the teenagers. Most of thespeeders I see are working folksrushing off to work, retired folksrushing to water arobics, visi-tors and one county inspector

who I've seen on more that oneoccasion buzzing around here at40 MPH or more in his countypickup truck.

This is a serious problem. The

Board needs to stop with thesmoke and mirrors and seri-ously address the problem.

Bob ReinhardtSeven Lakes North

Too many excuses.Time to hand out some tickets!

The Moore County LibrarySystem is sponsoring a pro-gram about living in today’s dig-ital age.

Tim Haley, noted professor ofmusic at Sandhills CommunityCollege will speak about howdigital devices in common usecan access music, videos andbooks.The program will be heldat The Postmaster’s House inAberdeen on August 14 at 4:00pm.Admission is free and dona-tions are welcome.

While the program is open toall ages, it may appeal most toadults who observe digitaldevices all around them, espe-cially in the hands of their chil-dren and grandchildren, but do

not feel comfortable using thedevices themselves.

Professor Haley is a whiz withsuch devices.As professor andcoordinator of the Associate inFine Arts music program at SCC,he teaches music theory, musicappreciation, applied music. Hisclassroom and distance learningcourses serve as models ofincorporating digital audio andvideo in course design and deliv-ery. He also directs the SandhillsCommunity College Jazz Band.

There is a large and growingbody of digital materials for freeor at very low cost through pub-lic libraries, radio and televisionstations, or commercial outletssuch as Amazon, iTunes, etc.

They can be accessed by com-puter, iPod, phones or E-bookdevices. Professor Haley willshow how this is done.

Book publishers, music com-panies, newspapers and mag-azines are increasingly makingtheir products available throughdigital access, some exclusive-ly so. The age of paper andrecording tape has given wayquickly to the digital age.This pro-gram will help you learn how tostay connected to the resourcesyou appreciate and want to use.

Living in the Digital Age withTim Haley is sponsored by TheFriends of Moore County LibrarySystem.

eight percent collected and duesreserved for paving are ninety-six percent collected.The reportsshowed "nothing overly alarming,"Galford said.

Community Standards. ChadBeane said that there are ninerules violators still not in com-pliance of twenty-three reportedin July.There have been ninety-two total violations reportedsince January. Most of the vio-lations are for unkempt yards,Beane said, noting that manyare repeat offenders.

Ninety-percent of the proper-ties in the community "look pret-ty spectacular," Director Droppersadded. Of approximately 1,200homes, "probably 15 create mostof the problems," he said. Thecommittee is going to begin tolook at the problem of algae onroofs, which is not only unsight-ly, but harmful to the roof itself.

Recreation. Director Keysersaid maintenance staffers hadbegun installing new playgroundequipment and expect to havethe job complete by mid-August.

The Seven Lakes StingraysSwim Team, sponsored by theSeven Lakes Lions Club, wereexpected to wrap up their sea-son with a pizza party andawards ceremony the weekendof August 1. Swim lessons willcontinue for the next severalweeks.

Adult water aerobics classesare held at the pool weekdaymornings from 8:30 to 9:15, and,once the swim season is over, anindoor aerobics and exerciseprogram will begin three days aweek at the Community ActivityCenter.

Summer day camp will con-tinue through August 21. ChadBeane noted that enrollmenthas been off this year, a trend thatseems to be echoed among

other summer camp operationsin the area.

A Junior Golf Clinic is plannedat Seven Lakes Country Club onAugust 23, September 20, andOctober 18.Youth dance campwill be held the week of August16 in the Community ActivityCenter.

Architectural review. DirectorKindsvatter reported that theArchitectural Review Board hasapproved no new homes, buthad approved a large number ofimprovements, including addi-tions, decks, new roofs, bulk-heads, and docks.

Noting some recent septicimprovements, Kindsvatter askedwhether the Board should con-sider implementing a septic man-agement program in order toprotect water quality in the lakes.Seven Lakes West is currentlyworking to make its septic man-agement program mandatory,she added. Director Shaver notedthat SLLA records show thatfewer than fifty percent of home-owners have had their septicsystem checked in the past twoyears.

Maintenance. Shaver report-

ed that the Maintenance Com-mittee met on July 23. Results oflake water tests were reviewedand Community Manager Fulcherasked to investigate a lab errorreported on some of the tests.The Association has reachedan agreement to have Ron Ersk-ine perform more frequent testsat a nominal cost. Results fromthose tests will be compared toresults from the lab the Associ-ation normally uses.

Shaver reported that a keymower is worn out and needs tobe replaced. He recommendedrenting a replacement at a costof $1,400 per month to finishout the mowing season ratherthan purchasing a new one at acost of $11,000, purchasing aused one for $4,000, or out-sourcing the job for the rest of theseason.

A committee formed to look atlong-term planning for infra-structure needs has identifiedtwenty-two equipment items witha total purchase cost of $265,000and an estimated current valueof roughly one-third that amount.Shaver said the committee hasnot been able to determine thelikely replacement cost of thepool and major buildings. He

said he is looking for two moremembers for his committee whohave construction industry expe-rience.

Security. In addition to hiscomments about Sequoia Point,Director Caulk said roving patrolhad responded to sixty-nine callsin the past month, ranging fromsnakes to drugs, and found nine-ty violations of Association rules.Eleven boats were found usingthe lake without appropriatestickers and twenty-five groupsof people were found using theamenities with no guest cards.Three drug incidents resultedin calls to the Sheriff's Officeand ten citations for drug offens-es.

Other BusinessIn other business during its

July meeting, the SLLA Board:• Approved a by-law change

providing for the Association'srepresentation on the GreaterSeven Lakes CommunityCouncil, which includes rep-

resentatives of the SLLA,SLWLA, McLendon HIlls Prop-erty Owners Association, andSeven Lakes Business Guild.The Association will be rep-resented by the Board Presi-dent and an alternate who isnot a Board member.

• Named Dennis Roberts asthe SLLA's alternate repre-sentative on the CommunityCouncil.

• Heard from resident BobRacine that security had donean excellent job in having anunauthorized boat removedfrom a Sequoia Point slip thatRacine had rented.

• Heard compliments for thestaff, beautification commit-tee, and lake security officerfrom JoAn Moses, who alsocomplimented "the peoplewho complain — the peoplewho feel such a strong love ofSeven Lakes that they feelthey have to complain. Theyare our eyes and ears, so thatwe can make Seven Lakesan even better place to live."

pose fitting their approach tocommunity management to theneeds of Seven Lakes Northand South.

Noting that each company islikely to propose slightly differentstaffing levels, Droppers saidthe Directors will have to "equal-ize" those factors and then obtainfinal proposals and pricing fromthe finalist companies.

The Manager Search"On a totally separate track

from that, we are going to belooking at the managment poolto evaluate staying with an asso-ciation-employed manager,"

Droppers said, moving to thesecond option available to theBoard. He said the Associationwill advertise the position throughthe Community ManagementAssociation and in local news-papers in order to identify qual-ified state-certified managers.

"We will be looking for certifiedmanagers, because, in all prob-ability, the State of North Carolinawill be requiring us to have acertified manager," Droppersexplained.

The Board w i l l rece i veresumes, review those resumes,whittle the field down to somepool of applicants, interviewthem, and make a financial com-

parison between the most desir-able applicants and the man-agement company option, Drop-pers said.

"We will make a decisionbased on quality and finances,"he concluded.

Addressing Richmond's com-ment in favor of placing AssistantManager Beane in the position,Director Bruce Keyser, Jr. said,"The Board is looking at all thedifferent avenues, and Chad isone of the avenues." The Boardhas authorized Beane to takeclasses and seek certificationas a Community Manager sothat he will be qualified as acandidate, Keyser added. "Chadis not out of the question.We arelooking at Chad as well."

Put it to a vote?During the public comment

portion of the meeting, GeorgeStahl uged the Board to put theissue to a vote of the member-ship.

"This is too big a thing for justthe board to decide," Stahl said."It should be a referendum ofthe people, based on the infor-mation that you have fed them.

Ray Ulansy echoed Stahl'scomments: "I agree it should beput to a vote." He asked Boardmembers, "Do you want to be thenames that go down in Seven

Lakes history for making a wrongdecision?"

"Although it sounds good," avote is, in my view, impractical,"Vice President Sally Kindsvattersaid.

"I can tell you from having satin on the interviews, the amountof material we heard in a two-hour presentation was almostmore than I could assimilatemyself." She said that it would beimpossible for the vast majorityof landowners to attend theextensive interviews plannedwith both companies and indi-viduals, and, therefore, impossiblefor the public to be well-informedenough to vote on the matter.

"I think, when we get a littlecloser, then Kent can tell you inmore detail what a particularcompany has to offer," Kinds-vatter added, "for example, abroader base in purchasing, orlegal, or other qualifications."

"I would say that the senseof the Board right now is that weare very open to input," Droppers

added. "Do we want to be theones who make the decision?We all ran for the Board. That'swhat we ran for the board todo."

Phil Thingstad expressed con-cern about the loss of "the per-sonal touch," should the Boarddecide to go with a manage-ment company. "These compa-nies are in it to make a buck," hesaid, "they'll be making a profitoff of us."

Droppers said each of thecompanies Directors have inter-viewed would be putting a full-time on-site manager in theSLLA office.

"Some companies seem tohave a more personal touch,"Kindsvatter noted. "That is adefinite factor in making a deci-sion."

Droppers said, "We will try toeducate the landowners on theoptions as soon as we havemore information. We haven'teven started to narrow downthe field yet."

to be for non-members," Templesaid. "If that's the case, that'sokay. But if it is for twenty-fivemembers, that is not somethingthat was discussed originally."

Director Droppers said theminutes from the meeting "are inconflict" on that point. Fulcherwas unable to attend Wednes-day's meeting, so the Boardtabled a vote on the new rentalcharges until they could sortout the matter in their AugustWork Session.

Addressing the concern aboutcigarette butts on the beachlater in the meeting, Chad Beanesaid additional receptacles areplanned for the Point and will beinstalled soon.

Security at the PointDarla Strickland told the Board

that, on July 4, she had wit-nessed a fight between twomen at the Point. Though shecalled for a nearby Security offi-

cer, the response was very, veryslow, so that she feared for herown safety.

Noting the large number ofpeople at the Point on July 4,Director Caulk said, "We didhave some problems at the Pointthat we have never had before."

Caulk said he had reallocatedsecurity personnel and imple-mented much more aggressivechecking of guest cards, notjust at the pool and stables, butat all the amenities, includingSequoia Point.

mann said, "wi thout FredLawrence's foresight, there wouldbe no Seven Lakes."

Security Q&AMoore County Detective Kip

Dennis' family was among thosewho purchased one of FredLawrence's lots in the 1970s,he told the Westsiders whoattended Tuesday's meeting, byway of introduction. Many of thestreets in Seven Lakes Westare named for those originalSeven Lakers; Dennis Circle isnamed for the detective's fami-ly.

He began by assuring resi-dents that a recent boat theftand associated vandalism are thesorts of petty crime that "happensall over the county." On the nightof July 14, Paul Parks' pontoonboat was stolen from his dock onLake Auman and then rammedinto the bulkhead a few doorsdown.The motor was left runningall night, causing additional dam-age to the bulkhead. In addi-tion, a number of kayaks, skitubes, and life preservers werealso stolen and left floating inthe lake.

"It goes in spells, it goes inspurts," he explained, "and younever know where it is going tocrop up."

Although some small calibreammunition was found on thestolen pontoon boat, Dennisadded, "You don't have to worryabout some madman that isgoing to go around the lake andshoot up houses."

"This was a crime of oppor-tunity," he said. "I feel pretty

comfortable that, when all issaid and done, we will knowwhat happened.Whether arrestswill be made, I can't say."

Hoffmann then opened thefloor for questions. Ray MacKaywas first, asking Dennis whetherthe keys had been left in theignition of Parks' boat.After at firstdodging the question because ofhis on-going investigation, Den-nis ultimately reported that thekeys were in the boat, though notin the ignition. Hoffmann encour-aged residents not to leave theirkeys in their boat or car — andnot to leave valuable equipmentin either.

Other questions included:• Calling in visitors. What hap-

pens when someone calls thegate to arrange for the entry ofa visitor, but has the caller IDon their phone blocked, sothe gate guard cannot verifythe identity of the caller? Hoff-mann said he was not surethere is a standard procedurefor handling that circumstancebut promised to look into it.

• Boat patrol. Former SLWLAPresident Mary Anne Fewkesasked Dennis whether off-duty Moore County Sheriff'sOfficers could be hired by thecommunity to man a late-nightboat patrol. Dennis said any off-duty patrols would have to bearranged through the sheriff,but indicated he — and mostof his fellow officers — weregenerally not experienced inenforcing boating laws.

• Neighborhood watch. TomWallace asked what powers aneighborhood watch groupwould have; the Association is

currently looking for volun-teers to man such a group.Dennis explained that citizensparticipating in a neighbor-hood watch have the samepowers as individual citizenson the street or in a shoppingmall. Under North Carolinalaw, private citizens have noright to arrest or detain crim-inals, except in very limitedcases of major crimes, likemurder. Both Hoffmann andLegal Director Ed Silberhornstressed that the SLWLANeighborhood Watch, i fformed, would be involvedonly in observing and report-ing any suspicious activity,not in confronting perpetra-tors.

• Self protection. Wallace fol-lowed up by asking what rights,under NC law, an individualhas to protect his own property."You have right to protect yourproperty and person, withinreason," Dennis explained. "Ifyou feel there is danger toyour life from someone break-

ing into your home, you havethe right to defend yourself.But you cannot walk out intoyour yard, find someone break-ing into your car, and shootthem in the back."

• Threatening individuals, habit-ual speeders. Patrice Mar-quez said she had repeated-ly seen a young man speedingin the vicinity of Simmons and

Smathers, near Johnson Point.The same individual has exhib-ited threatening behaviortoward residents and vandal-ized community property, shesaid. Dennis encouraged Mar-quez and others to call theSheriff's office to report suchbehavior. "If we don't knowthat it is happening, then we

have no way of enforcing,"Dennis said. "When you havea problem like that, call theSheriff's office. We can put ina special patrol . . . We needa good description of the vehi-cle." He added that catchingrepeat speeders maybe moredifficult than, for example,apprehending a drug dealerselling on the same cornerall day every day.

More Security QuestionsLater in the meeting, during the

regular public comment period,Director Hoffmann fielded a num-ber of questions on security atthe back gate. Kelly Wilson saidshe had often observed the bar-code equipped car of a landown-er "looping" repeatedly throughthe back gate in order to allow thevehicles of non-residents to tail-gate through the entrance andgain access to the community.She said she had often seenthe back gate broken and askedwhether a more substantial gatecould be installed.

Other residents asked whetherthe bar code system or gatecameras could be used to iden-tify those engaged in this sort ofbehavior. Skip Ragland ques-tioned whether the gate cam-eras had ever worked effective-ly.

Hoffmann said there is anentrance committee currentlystudying options for both front andback gates. He noted that amember of his Security Com-

mittee with a background in engi-neering is currently studyingequipment needs at the gates.

He encouraged residents whosee the so r t o f behav io rdescribed by Wilson to report itto the front gate guard orlandowners office.While the gateguard cannot leave his or herpost to investigate, they canrecord the time of the event andany description of vehiclesinvolved for later investigation.

"By all means, call the frontgate," Hoffmann said. "We will fig-ure out how to respond.

SecurityDuring his safety and securi-

ty report, Director Hoffman toldmembers the procedure forobtaining passes for regualr vis-itors — nannies, yard crews,housekeepers, and so on —has been changed slightly.Instead of issuing gate passesthat are good indefinitely, thegate guards are now issuingthirty-day passes to these visi-tors at the landowner's request.The landowner must renew therequest for the pass each month.

Hoffmann pointed out thathousekeeepers and yard menmay change, and it does notenhance security to have your for-mer yard man or housekeeper inpossession of a pass with notermination point.

Fire Hydrant CommitteeLandowners who attended

Tuesday's meeting heard anupdate from the Fire Hydrant

Committee, presented by PattyCleary.

A 2004 analysis by then-Direc-tor Ray MacKay revealed that thecommunity needed an additional75 fire hydrants. Progress sincethen has whittled that numberdown to 45, and the installationof additional hydrants this yearshould bring the shortfall to 38or 39.

Cleary said the goal of thecommittee is to make sure thatthose hydrants are installed.Thecommittee provided a map ofrecommended fire hydrant loca-tions for landowners to inspectafter the meeting.

Community ActivitiesDirector Karen Milligan remind-

ed landowners of upcomingcommunity activities, including:August 7 – The next installment

of the free Summer Concertseries at Johnson Point.

August 14 - The second FamilyMovie Night at West SidePark.

August 19 - A free craft demon-stration class in rubber-stamping.

September 17 - The Seven LakesForum will have the inauguralmeeting of their season.

September 18 - The annual Mag-aritaville party.Also in September, Andrea

Schmidt, who offered watercol-or classes earlier this year, willadd classes in oils and acrylicsto the calendar.

Other BusinessAlso during the Tuesday, July

28 General Meeting, members:• Heard from Community Man-

ager Joan Frost that very fewlandowners had taken advan-tage of extended office hoursuntil 7:00 pm on Tuesday andThursday, so those days will bereturned to the regular 5:00 pmclosing time effective August1. Frost noted that residentscould make an appointment ata later hour if they are notable to come to the office dur-ing regular hours.

• Heard from Director Mick Her-drich that he will publish anoverview of the remediation onLake Auman dam in theAugust edition of the SLWLAnewsletter.

• Heard from Director Silber-horn that the Board will heara second reading of themandatory septic manage-

ment program during its August11 Work Session. The pro-gram will will apply to own-ers of homes in the LakeAuman watershed.

• Heard from Hoffmann that theBoard had worked through arevision of the Rules and Reg-ulations in an eight-hour worksession on Friday, July 24.He said the revised text shouldbe available on the website forreview by landowners onAugust 11.
