ANIMAL CONTROL
A scary event happened this summer in
our neighborhood. It was told to me by a
resident and I thought I would share it
with everyone. This resident had a pet
cat killed by two dogs, which had been
roaming the neighborhood. The dogs
broke through a screened in porch to
attack the pet cat, which died a few days
later. The pet cat was an indoor cat and
probably didn’t even know what a dog
was. The dogs were spotted a couple
days later chasing another neighbor’s
cat. The dogs were followed to their
home down the street. Animal control
was called and the dog’s owners had to
pay all vet bills for the cat. The dog’s
owner was given a warning. The scary
part is that these dogs could have
attacked a small child playing in its yard
or on a porch.
No pets are allowed to run free in the
subdivision. If you see pets running free
and know whose pet it is, please notify
the owner so he can get the pet. If you
do not know the owner, call animal
control at 832-0015. Typically, animal
control will issue one warning for an
animal running loose. A second
instance is a fine of $525 per animal. If
the animal is considered a nuisance
animal (because it was chasing
someone, hurt a person or other animal)
it will cost another $525 per animal.
GUEST SPEAKER
We hope the have Sheriff Nash at our
November meeting to talk to us about
crime in our area and Crime Watch.
Come to the meeting and get your
questions answered.
FLOWERS
We want to thank Mrs. Lester who
made a donation for fall flowers at the
entrance. The board matched her
contribution so we could have some
colorful fall flowers as you enter Archdale.
We have also replaced a palm tree,
which had died. We hope the entrance
presents a good impression of our
community.
LITTER
I have noticed that folks have been
cleaning up their yards and depositing
their leaf bags and yard debris in the
gutter or in the street. While we highly
encourage everyone to keep their
property clean and neat, please do not
put your bags and debris in the gutter
or road. It presents a safety hazard for
vehicles and for drainage when it rains.
Please put the bags and debris on your
lawn next to the curb or gutter.

THREE KEYS TO SOUND MONEY
MANAGEMENT.
1. Create a budget you both can live
with. Experts suggest 35% for
housing – includes mortgage,
utilities, insurance, taxes and
maintenance. 20% for
transportation – includes car
payments, insurance, gas and
maintenance. 15% for debt –
includes all loans and credit cards.
10% for savings – pay yourself first.
Retirement is closer than you think.
20% other – includes food clothing
childcare and charity.
2. Learn the dos & don’ts about debt.
DO break bad debt habits. The
average household credit card debt
is more than $8,000. (Parade, July 13,
2003) DON’T delay in paying off
your credit cards completely. The
average American pays more than
$1,000 in credit card interest per
year. (The Atlanta Journal-
Constitution, Jan. 18, 2004) Do
communicate honestly about your
spending habits to your spouse.
Don’t abuse your credit In the fiscal
year ending September 30, 2003, 1.66
million bankruptcies were filled. (The
Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Jan
18, 2004.
3. Save for a rainy day. Emergencies
are inevitable. A good goal to shoot
for is 3 months income. According
to a recent Money Magazine, April
2004, only 28% of households said
they have enough money saved to
weather a financial hardship.
AVON Fund-raisers
Thanks to all those Archdale residents
who ordered Avon to help with the
Archdale Blvd. lights and water system.
We have been successful in raising
$331.87 this year by selling AVON.
This time we had 41 people order out of
782, with earnings of $210.09. Thank
you for helping us to try and reach our
goals!
To report a Crime - Call 911
To discuss Crime Prevention
Call Norman at 767-3584.
Sheriff Nash has appointed officer Miller
to be the County Crime Watch
coordinator. His number is 832-0307.
This should reinvigorate the program and
enable us to obtain current information
about crime in our community.
CODE ENFORCEMENT
If you see problems in the neighborhood that
constitute a nuisance, and cannot work the
problem out with the neighbor, you can contact
Dorchester County Code enforcement at 832-
0013. Board members are willing to try and help
any disputes, which might arise.
Officer Greenhill is the officer assigned to our area
of the county. If you want to talk to him personally,
the best time to call is between 8 am and 10 am.
After that time, you can leave a detailed message
of the problem on their answering machine. Be
sure to leave your telephone number in the event
they have some questions and need to contact
you.
Dorchester County Ordinance Number 89-10
says, “It shall be unlawful for any person to
maintain or to permit to be maintained any
premises, including vacant lots or land, upon
which any condition exits which constitutes a
nuisance, health or safety hazard, including, but
not limited to, the accumulation of dead trees, uncut
grass, weeds, undergrowth, trash, garbage,
debris, or any other unsightly or unsanitary
condition.”
It is also unlawful for any person to abandon any
motor vehicle which is exposed to public view,
even on private property. A vehicle is determined
to have been abandoned if the vehicle fails to
display a current license plate within 90 days
after its expiration date or which is partially
dismantled or wrecked or incapable of selfpropulsion
or of being moved in the manner for
which it was originally intended and remains in
such condition for a period of sixty (60) days or
more.
The ordinance allows the violator 10 days to
correct the problem. After that time, the county
can come in, correct the problem, and charge the
violator reasonable cost and such cost to be
collected by judicial process.
Also, after the time given to abate the problem
and the problem is not corrected, it shall constitute
a violation of the ordinance and violator shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon
conviction, shall be punished by a fine not to
exceed $200 or imprisonment for not more than
30 days. Each day such violation shall continue
shall be deemed a separate offense.
