The November 14 edition of The Seven Lakes Times is now available for download in pdf format. You can download a high-quality PDF here, or, if you have a slower internet connection, download a smaller PDF here.
Highlights of this 32-page edition include:
- Director Bill Hirsch has resigned from the SLLA Board of Directors. It's a bit of a complicated story. You can read about it in detail here. And you can read Hirsch's take on the situation in this week's edition of The Times.
- The unpleasantness that led to Hirsch's resignation arose in a disagreement about the best approach to replacing or repairing the SLLA pasture fence, which has lately been falling down and letting horses escape. You can read about the options in this week's edition.
- A proposed SLLA volunteer policy sparked considerable debate during the Board's November 10 Work Session.
- The Board has delayed any decision on renewing the lake management contract with Foster Lakes until other options can be explored.
– After long study by the Planning and Zoning Committee, a new ordinance permitting the development of commercial solar generation facilities in Foxfire Village's ETJ has been approved.
- The Village Council continues to discuss whether and how it can restrict non-resident use of the Village swimming pool.
- The Moore County Board of Education will sell the former Academy Heights school to Taylortown for $300,000.
- Board members praised the service of Enola Lineberger and Dale Frye, who attended their last Board meeting on Monday.
- Members of the public and the County Manager pushed back against animal activists who have been forceful in their criticism of the County's Animal Center and Animal Operations Director Brenda Sears. One member of the Animal Operations Advisory Committee suggested that panel's ability to do its work has been damaged by "open hostility" and "unjustified and inflammatory charges."
- Seven Lakes Stables hosted the SLLA's annual Halloween Party, and even the horses had costumes.
- The Moore County Veterans Memorial Committee hosted a tribute to veterans on Saturday, November 8.
- Greg is planning to take advantage of the free memory screening offered next week at St. Joseph of the Pines (and catch the Glen Campbell documentary).
- Chris thinks we all might need to relax, Alan Shaw has some thoughts for the SLLA Board and Manager, and there's plenty of thanks in our letters section.
