Security Tips
Lately, there has been a rash of larcenies from automobiles in Dexter neighborhoods. This kind of "crime of opportunity" reminds all of us to be careful.
Residents who have been bothered by this activity may find it useful to keep a front porch light on, or install a motion-actuated light. Doorbell cameras have become fairly affordable, if you want more security. And parents, please pass the word to your children who may be out and about at night to watch out for "knock, knock, run" behavior.

Canvassing and Yard Signs
It is a long-standing Association policy that door-to-door solicitation is not permitted in our neighborhood. This includes persons selling products or services, fundraising, canvassing for political candidates or proposals, promoting religious organizations or missions, and seeking signatures for petitions other than LAIA matters. In this election season, regardless of your political interest, if someone comes to your door on behalf of a candidate or political proposal, please inform them that door-to-door canvassing is not permitted in Loch Alpine and politely ask them to leave. If the person becomes argumentative, close your door. And on another election matter, the LAIA Board asks for everyone’s cooperation in the display of yard signs for candidates. The Restriction Agreement is clear: “No sign of any kind shall be displayed to the public view on any lot except… advertising the property for sale or for rent, or signs used by the builder to advertise the property during the construction and sales period.” Over the years, the Board has allowed that political signs may be displayed up close to the house, not near the street, and must be removed immediately after an election. Any signs posted along LAIA road right-of-way may be removed and discarded.
LASA Test Results
The first set of lead and copper tests from 20 homes in Loch Alpine were sent in June to the State of Michigan for evaluation. The State sent its evaluation to Loch Alpine Sanitary Authority (LASA) at the end of August, reporting that all of the tested sites were within state standards and did not require any corrective actions. To read the state evaluation report, click here. A second series of residence tests will be conducted soon and submitted to the State. Lakes Test Results Very Good
The second round of tests for E.coli in Loch Alpine Lakes showed a level of 6/100 ml in the upper lake and 0/100 ml in the lower lake. Very safe for swimming. Anything above 300 E.coli/100 mL for a single sample is considered "unsafe" for swimming at the time the sample was collected. Thanks again to Lakes Committee member Cindy Walton for conducting the tests.

An Open Letter to Dog Owners
Most of you leash your dogs while walking them on Loch Alpine streets, parks and pathways. The entire Loch Alpine community thanks you for being law-abiding and courteous in this way.
To those who sometimes take your dog off leash, we have a short but earnest request: Please don’t. Even good dogs need to be leashed at all times.
Respectfully yours,
The Loch Alpine Board of Directors

LOCH ALPINE IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION LOCH ALPINE AWARD
The Loch Alpine Award was established by the Loch Alpine Improvement Association to recognize a person or persons who have demonstrated Exemplary efforts, Commitment and Dedication to the Loch Alpine Community.
In recognition and appreciation of her exemplary efforts for the community, the Loch Alpine Board has selected Janet Torno for the 2024 Loch Alpine Award. She has generously donated her time welcoming Loch Alpine newcomers for many years. With a greeting card and a call, a home visit to present a LA Welcoming Mug and making sure they have received the Newcomers Welcome Package, Janet provides information that new residents should know about living in our neighborhood. She answers questions they may have and offers suggestions based on her many years enjoying living here and also being very active in both Ann Arbor and University of Michigan life. Her spouse, Randy, was a recipient of the award in 2019.
Thank you, Janet!
The Loch Alpine Improvement Association is proud to have honored recipients of the Loch Alpine Award since 2001 (prior to 2013, the award was designated the Sendra Award). The previous recipients can be found here.
