Free Floating Yellow Kayak
good morning…this morning Laura Hutson who lives across from the church saw a free floating yellow kayak out on the river. She feels by now it might be by Maxie’s. She didn’t have a boat to retrieve it but wants the owner to know so you can get it .

Follow up from the LHHA meeting Tuesday evening
It was a large turn out Tuesday night to hear presentations from TWRA and Knox County Animal Control. In fact both presenters told me they were amazed at our turn out and participation.
These were important subjects as we live with both wild and domestic animals in our neighborhood. We learned interesting info about the wild animals that roam our properties and how to coexist with them. We also learned about care for our pets, AC Ordinances and respect for our neighbors regarding our pets.
We will follow up with details on specific items in future post. In the meantime the following is contact info and a link to the Knox County Sheriff’s Animal Control ordinances. If you have issues please don’t hesitate to contact them.

Alcoa Hwy construction zone–patrol needed; restore sign
After reading of the dangerous close-call at the Montlake Drive intersection involving an obviously speeding car, I posted the following to the general LHAA listserv. Perhaps it can be addressed at this evening’s meeting.
We neighbors need to make a couple of inquiring phone calls:
–First: to ask TDOT to restore the flashing sign for SOUTHBOUND drivers: “SPEED LIMIT 40 — STRICTLY ENFORCED BY RADAR.” Northbound drivers still see that flashing sign just before Maloney Road, but the southbound sign (just past the Naval Station) disappeared a while back.
–Second, to petition KPD to regularly patrol the work zone and cite drivers going obviously faster than 40mph.
During the first weeks of construction enforcement was good, and most drivers stayed fairly close to 40. Now–with the most obvious speed-limit-sign taken away, and lax enforcement–most drivers feel free to ignore the 40mph limit.
The more of us call, the more likely positive results.

Photos of Wildlife in our Neighborhood
In preparation for the LHHA meeting on Tuesday I have been gifted with some nighttime photos of wildlife in one of our neighbor’s yard. I know you have posted photos from time to time of other animals that you have seen in the neighborhood. If you would forward any photos of animals that you have seen, I’ll add them to my powerpoint of the wildlife that graces Lakemoor Hills and have them on Tuesday night for all to see.
thanks

Drivers Beware at Alcoa Hwy and Montlake
I wanted to relate an incident that occurred yesterday that surprised me quite a bit. I was the passenger in a car attempting to exit Lakemoor Hills and go north on Alcoa Hwy from Montlake. The driver of our car saw an opening coming up and pulled out across the southbound lane. The car on the inside lane going south was flying (no surprise there) and laid on his horn to express his displeasure at having to apply his brakes. We proceeded across to the acceleration lane and entered Alcoa Hwy headed north. To our surprise we saw blue lights in the mirrors and were subsequently pulled over and ticketed. My driver got a ticket for Failure to Yield. The officer said that since the Alcoa Hwy driver had to apply his brakes and honk his horn, we were causing the problem by not yielding to that driver’s progress. We pointed out that the driver was certainly speeding, and the officer said, “Yes, I clocked him at 55 MPH but I cannot ticket him unless he is going faster than that”. What !?!
So I hope you take this lesson to heart, even if it is hard to understand who really is at fault.
