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.

| Our vet said her temp should drop 2 degrees below her normal temp for 24 hours before she goes into labor. Satin's normal temp is 100.8. This morning it was 100.1. Last night she was digging in the kennels and awake most of the night. I know she is uncomfortable and very close so i am keeping a close eye on her today. Barbara |

| Sunday night temp was 99.0, she was digging in Kevin's closet and whining. Today temp is 100.1??? How long does the temp flexuate like that? The puppies are pushing on her rear, she is swollen. I am going to call the vet today to see if i should be concerned. I think she is going to burst she is so big!!! Barbara |

| Those are some cute puppies. I called the vet and talked with her and she agreed that Satin will probably have puppies tonight. If she doesn't, i will take her in tomorrow to be checked and make sure everything is okay with her. The whelping box is set up for her so hopefully i will have pics in the morning. Barbara |

| Hopefully things go smooth. I'm by far an 'expert' and many other kennels have produced far more pups than I have, but if I can help in anyway feel free to get ahold of me. |

| We may be going to the vet today. She started panting about 5:00 P.M last night, went all night. Kept Kevin and I up all night with no results. Her temp went from 99.4 to 99.0 this morning. Our vet said if nothing happened last night she needs to be seen to make sure all is well. It will take me 45 minutes to get to the vet's office so that alone may produce puppies. Any suggestions? Is this normal? Barbara |

Any signs of contractions? If so and it has been this long I would rush her to the Vet..... I had a dog loose muscle control half way through whelping and rushed Mom and pups to the Vet. All the pups lived thanks to a great Vet and his staff that saved two pups lives. Things would have been bad if I wouldn't have bolted to the Vet. You are probably already there. Best of luck with the little buggars.
