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.
*Dog experience relative to titles attained, training, judging, hunting, etc.
*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.)
The nomination letters need to be received not later than September 20th by Larry Kimble, 1112 Birdie Drive, Independence, KS 67301, 620-331-4066. No express over overnight mail requiring receipt signature. Also, email your letter to lkimble@cableone.net by the same date.

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.

Hello,
New guy here; My name is Steve and I am becoming addicted to Pointing Labs...
I picked up my new pup on June 7th at the APLA test in Williamston MI from Dale of HRK.
My pup is from Dales Libby to Paco's (Frank) Gator.
My intension 7 months ago when I put a deposit on this litter was to get a pup from good stock and take it to a fun hunting/family companion.
Well here I am now thinking none stop about how I want to take this little guy (Grady) as far as he will go.
I never thought I would have a dog that could run with the best, but now after watching what the parents of Grady are capable of and the desire and brains he already has at his young age I know it is possible and I am going to do everthing I can to get him there!!!!!!!!
I just wanted to say HI as you all will be asked question from me in the future, and hopeful will meet a few of you at our first test...
Also, my wife is asking if there is medication to help me talk about something other than dogs ??
Thanks,
Steve Strnad

Steve,
To post pics.. click the "Add Reply" icon, which will take you to another posting area. At the bottom of that page you'll see 3 lines "Message attachment" Click the first browse button.. find the pic you wish to post.. and click submit.. you can do that up to 3 times per post. I usually save my pics to my desktop so I can find them fast, and then delete them when I'm done.. or move them to another file..
Hope that helps..
btw.. Cute pup...Dale and Paco have some great dogs..you've got a winner there.. |

Can't passthis up, I have to add some gas to the fire to get Alliesway all pumped up about his pup.
I have a video of Gator running a finished test at Zeke's 2008 Fun Hunt Test. Gator steps on each marked retrieve.
