Sun Newspaper Discrepancy

The Sun Newspaper has paper and online versions. Their article on the Meadow Lakes' Sexual Predator Amendment vote in the paper version left out pertinent information at the end that was included in the online version:

Barnett said the Hunt Club Homeowners Association in Avon made a similar change to their development's covenant in early April.
Attorney Steven Ott, whose firm is representing the Meadow Lakes Homeowners Association, said the proposed amendment is legal because sexual offenders are not a protected classification of individuals.
Ott said other homeowner associations in northeast Ohio and throughout the nation have passed similar amendments.

The online version http://www.cleveland.com/thesun/news/index.ssf?/base/news-0/1208984304316040.xml&coll=4 includes these last three statements.

Dog Care Reminder

We've had incidents of loose dogs attacking other dogs. The City requires dogs to be on leashes. Please remember to keep your dog on a leash when walking them or while they are in your yard if you do not have an "invisible" fence. Dog owners need to pick up any "deposits" so everyone can enjoy the common areas.
