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.

| The 29th would be if the second AI took! I do not think she is going to make it that far 99.2 temp this morning, but usualy goes back up in the evening!! She kinda had a wierd cycle were she started for 2 days then stopped for 4 days!! Then started again, so I lost all track of were she was at, so when she started standing for my boy Jake,(with diaper on) I figured better get it done! That is why the difference in times!! |

 The 20th! Thats TODAY! KEvin-Start boiling the water 
Make sure best you can once she is done welping that all the fetuses are out. It would seem that with such a big spread the possibility of younger immature pups could be increased - i do not know this-it just seems a logical possibilty. A 5 day difference in 'age' at birth might be significant-again I do not know this just thinking out loud here...

It will be tomorrow, the 21st! It is Kerry and my 27th wedding anniversary and our son Shawn's 20th birthday, a very special day, so why not bring a litter of furballs into the world on such a fine day?
Best of luck with the whelping.

Satin's temp was 99.6 this morning. She is so............uncomforatble!!! She looks like a barrel. Kevin is off to train today and Me, Jake & Satin are on puppy watch. Gun Dawg, those are some cute pictures! Can't wait to see Satin's litter. If anyone wants to change their guess, now would be the time!!! We will up the prize to a 4 lb tub of Dog Forte. If you don't know anything about Dog Forte , check this out. We gave it to Jake after his surgery and we use it during hunting season to give the dogs energy before and after they are in the field. I will be giving it to Satin after the puppies are born. Barbrara

Barbara,
Why would I want to change my guess - - - Since I've got the winning date picked already
But here is something to think about. Is the date going to be for the first pup -- or the last pup -- or the majority of pups?
Example : First pup at 11:59 PM and all the rest later on.

| I took her for a ride this morning on a bumpy road on my way to do an errand, but nothing yet. She has to be close, she shakes now and then and whines. We will see if she eats her supper or not. I will take another picture tomorrow if she does not go into labor tonight. She is huge!!! She either has some big puppies, or 10 or more in there. Barbara |
