October 20, 2008 - Meet Shoalanda Speaks
Beginning today, conservative political pundit Shoalanda Speaks will be discussing issues facing the Shoals area. While Ms. Speaks is a true Southern conservative, she will attempt to present all facets of the issues discussed herein. Please feel free to contact Shoalanda at Shoalanda.Speaks@gmail.com if you have any questions about the Shoals area, its politics, or noted citizens...or if you have an idea for future columns.
What better way to begin than with a toothy issue--that's right--the proposed Tuscumbia dog ordinance. That city has certainly been lax in its enforcement of current animal control laws. Perhaps Tuscumbia needs only to make a concerted effort to enforce the existing laws before enacting an ambiguous code that could be easily overturned. "Barking for no reason?" Sorry, guys--dogs don't bark for no reason. If the city feels it needs a stronger ordinance, I would suggest that it look to current laws in neighboring cities. Florence has long been adept at animal control without such draconian edicts. Spot and Rover don't need a maximum security prison--just a little guidance now and then.
Today's What's Up with This: Speaking of Tuscumbia, what local artist with the initials P.W. was recently escorted from Coldwater Books by local police?

I was at Cold Water that day for a booksigning. Her book was not being carried by the book store and she assumed she could sell it on the street without a vendor's license. She has accused me of calling the police on her which I did not do, however, if she were operating her business above board, the police would never have asked her to leave.
