Court victories have compelled APS to turn over its
Membership list and have allowed us to inspect its financial
records at the APS office, despite its year old trespass order.
APS has been assessed attorney fees for its refusal to obey Court
orders. APS has now lost its contract with the County and has
made arrogant demands for MORE money despite its pledge to
cooperate in a transition to county management. The Court has
rejected the slander claims of APS although Laura Walters and a
few of the Directors are going forward. These claims indicate
that APS and its attorney do not understand the First Amendment
guarantees of Freedom of Speech. APS is going ahead with its
construction of an "adoption center". It remains to be seen if
APS can survive and what its mission may be.

--------------------- QUOTE WITHOUT COMMENT -------------------
---- Chapel Hill Herald July 12
"Shelter oversight should be considerd. Where's the PUBLIC in
all this.
---- Jean Bolduc: Columnist - Chapel Hill Herald
"There's only one thing Walters should say (or write) to those
who
have criticized the agency and sought public accountability for
its work, its budget and its plans for the future: "I'm sorry."
"When officials of a publicly funded agency are pointing the
finger at critics as the cause of trouble instead of defending
their programs and administration on facts and merit, something
is very wrong."
---- Pat Sanford: Former APS Executive Director
"Shame on APS; Grieve for the Animals
'No-kill' animal policy often means slow kill "
---- Virginia Ellington: Former long-time APS Director and
Secretary
"If the leadership of the APS is truly concerned that the APS
will
lose its contract with the county to operate the Animal Shelter,
I make the following suggestions.
* The board should call a special meeting and restore the voting
rights of the membership.
* The board should terminate the employment of Executive Director
Laura Walters.
* The present Executive Committee of the board consisting of the
president, vice president, secretary, treasurer and member Ann
Petersen should resign.
---- John Link: County Manager
Rosie, you might be ready to take over the shelter."
---- Elliot Cramer President PAWS:
"Beyle says that APS officials 'are listening to constructive
criticism and are prepared to make changes.' Unfortunately, the
failure to listen is the source of their problems."
