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.

They are through the eighth series and Dusty is still "clean". Bocephus did not qualify this year. Hook is still in.

There were 16 dogs called back for the tenth series. Eight are clean, and Dusty is in that group. Fred Brown is handling "Dusty" and was quoted as saying "Cutter" looks very good.
Another bit of information suggests "Dusty" might have a chance to win if the final series goes "big and long". Other "clean dogs" in the final series had better blinds earlier. 
Clean into the last series is awesome! Given Fred's health issues, it becomes incredible. 
Update (1:53 pm): second hand info...10th series - "Dusty" handled..."Cutter" smacked it.
Update: (3:54 pm): "Cutter" wins! "Dusty" is a finalist. |

It is a vey big deal. A significant achievment that takes an unbelieveable amount of training and investment. Here is a question. How many people on this forum have personal friends that have a NAFC finialist? I think I know the answer. Another question out of the total number of registered labs in the country what percentage are AFC's FC's or National finalist?

Jere,
I would say 30 years fits the bill. The responses are pretty much what I would expect. A very small percentage. I dont know the actual percentage for FC/AFC's but i"ll bet less than one percent of all the living registered labs?
Would like to have been there to hear some of the fish stories. Only been there once for Kings. Way cool. Trying to get back next year.
Real sorry to hear about your friends loss of his dogs. A real tragedy. I just lost one I loved a great deal yesterday. Still agonizing over it.

He ran #77 and was dropped from the 4th series. |

I'm sure that would be a safe bet, Gary. There must be a million or so registered Labs?
If you make it up next year, I hope the fishing is better than it's shaping up to be this year. VERY few fish have showed up in the local slough. The commercial fishery on the Copper River flats has just been closed for a week. The sport fisery for kings on the Deshka is closed down. Fish are just not showing or are VERY late. I killed so many fish when I did it with nets and longlines I about lost interest in fishing.
I hoped to see Frank in town today to confirm, but didn't. Since he had no dog qualified for the Nat. Am. I would guess one or both of the casualties were his NFC and/or NAFC dog. I don't know that makes the loss any more severe but it has to be hard.
He and Jackson have had a friendly competiotion going for years. His dogs and Jackson's Creek Robber are quite accomplished with numerous qualifications for nationals and being finalists several times as well as AKC high point open and amateur dogs of the year a couple times each.
I'm sorry about that, gary. As you know, I'm sure, the pain will moderate with time but the hole left will never totally fill.

Jere,
The Deshka is where a friend introduced me to kings. The past two years runs have been low counts and off by a couple of weeks. Nothing quite like catching the big ones. Wish I was there!
