Fall Election for 3 Directors
There are three directors whose terms expire at the end of 2008. Those are Brice Romero, Stu Wange, and Joe Bubulka. It is unclear if any or all of them will run for re-election. We will have an election commencing in October. At this time the APLA is solicting for those members who wish to run for a 2 year term.
The requirements are to be a current member in good standing. You need to submit your nomination letter no later than September 20th. This letter needs to or should contain the following items.
*The office you are running for. Here it is director.
*Why you feel you would make a good director.
*Any goals or objectives for the APLA you would have if you were elected.
*Your length of membership with the APLA.
*Amount of and type of APLA officer or event experience as well as other dog organizations.

*Your letter must contain your name, address, phone number, and email address.
*And lastly your letter must contain 10 current members who support your nomination and whose permission you have attained. List their addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses. (Double check this information for completeness and accuracy. Nine current members won't pass, it takes 10 members.)

Online Hunt Test Registration System - Friday, August 8, 2008
MEMBERS STILL NEED TO MAIL YOUR ENTRIES TO THE HUNT TEST SECRETARIES!
On line entry of dogs by members is not yet available. This phase is for the hunt test record keeping only. This past Spring season, APLA successfully rolled out version 1.2 of our custom built Hunt Test Registration System (HTRS)! All Spring HT results are available on http://www.americanpointinglab.com/site/Dogs/tabid/108/Default.aspx.
In case you have not heard about our new system, HTRS is an online, password protected, application which will allow real time access to membership data as well as certification data. The following features and benefits were included in this release of the software.
* Membership information as well as certification information can be cross checked and updated in a prompt manner.
* Hunt Test Secretaries can easily enter test scores which will lead to quicker certificate generation.
* Improve the turn around time from Hunt Test Events to the results being posted online.
* New accounting reporting features:
> Ability to enter one payment to cover multiple entries.
> Refunds for scratch entries (if applicable).
> Create income summary report.
* Allow BOD Secretary to add/update memberships on line (mail-in only).
* Add bird count report enabling HT secretaries to keep track of birds.
* Enhanced Reports
> Alternate row shading for easier viewing.
> Input translation to ALL CAPs when HTS enters data all lower case or proper case so reports and HT Booklet looks uniform.
* Enhanced scoring for quicker certificate generation.
> Add owner name and address to score report.
* Enhanced judge's sheets program allows HT secretaries to print judge's sheets at once.

| I had a phone call this afternoon from a client. Ditch company was burning ditches and left the area. The fire crossed the canal and started another fire. The building that had 8 labs in it burned to the ground. All dogs were lost. Terrible thing. Ask anyone interested to say a prayer for the owner and the dogs.
The only dogs he has left is one that was with him at the time and one I am training.

| Doc,
Here in Colorado in Severance. Just east of Fort Collins. This poor guy has the worst luck I have ever seen. Last year his neighbor poisoned two of his dogs. Fortunately they caught the woman that did it. Prosecuted her and she went to Jail and paid a fine. I trained one of those dogs, a real nice male. He was going to be running an APLA test soon.
When you think things stink in your own circumstances look around be very thankful. Realize how lucky you all are next time your dog comes up to you to be near you.

How very very sad for sure.
Does the Ditch Company have any "legal liability" in something like this?

| Doc,
Attorney's have been contacted. I dont know what the outcome will be. All these dogs that were lost were breeding dogs mostly PL's. Some as young as 4 months old. Mostly females including one that was suppose to come back to me fairly soon for training out of my dogs Jesse and Delta. Beautiful black female that would point everything in sight from grasshoppers to birds. Looked just like her mom Delta.
Words cant really express how somthing like this makes me feel. I cant even begin to imagine the pain the owner must feel!
Did not want to bring everyone down but sometimes really bad things happen. As I mentioned before we all should be thankful for our dogs that are still with us.
Please say a prayer for the owner and the dogs that were lost.
