t.c. chapman wins 2018 la masters championship! by Uel Kemp

8:30am to 6:00pm Monday – Thursday

T.C. Chapman won the coveted LA Masters Green Jacket with a net score of 71 and his professional partner’s score of 65 for a total of 136 to edge out Pat Farrelly by two shots!

8:00am to 6:00pm Friday – Sunday

If you are unfamiliar with Lake Arrowhead’s version of the Masters, the tournament rules require each Lake Arrowhead golfer to select a professional playing partner from the Masters Tournament in Augusta. The combined Saturday scores of the two are then used to determine the winners. Several spots were determined by a score card playoff. 15 participants won gift certificates. The ties were broken by using each players net scores starting on the 18th and working backwards until the tie was broken. The winners were:

LGA NEWS

SPRING FLING OPENING BUSINESS MEETING I never thought I’d be wearing a sweater and a winter coat to the March 21st LALGA Spring Opener but it happened. The good news is we are certain the cold, windy weather is behind us and the season will be off to a warm, sunny start! Beth Hood and Pat Horlock greeted us as we arrived and very efficiently registered us as 2018 LALGA members for the 2018 season for just $35. When I entered the room with my friend and neighbor Dixie Tailor and saw many friends and golf buddies I knew this was money well spent and the upcoming season was going to be a lot of fun. Following what seemed to be an all-too-short social/ mingle time, we all took our seats at tables which had creative floral arrangements created by Gail McGurk of Easter Bunnies, Tulips and an assortment of spring flowers; perfect for the season! Our President, Eleanor Gibbons, introduced the LALGA Board, which is serving a two-year term from 2017 and remains as follows: Eleanor Gibbons - President Jan Garbiel – Vice President Beth Hood – Secretary Pat Horlock – Treasurer Gail McGurk – Events Chair Eleanor proceeded by introducing and welcoming our new members: Paulette Bobich Kathy Dietz Nancie Hobby Maureen McGuire We do, indeed, welcome new members, so if you are thinking about it please contact the officers, or sign up at

the pro shop to come out on Monday evenings or Thursday mornings to meet the group and join the LALGA. It’s not too late…. Prior to dinner Pat Horlock led us in an inspirational prayer. As a former Nun I’m confident her prayers will be answered and we will have perfect weather all season and, no doubt, our game will be improved. Thank you, Pat! Immediately following the prayer, Club Pro and General Manager, Uel Kemp, summarized the USGA proposed rule changes being considered for 2019. Most of us immediately expected the rules to not be in our favor, but, happily, most are. For example, if you accidently move your ball when searching for it (unlikely since your ball always lands perfectly in the middle of the fairway) current rule: 1 stroke penalty; new rule: no penalty. For more information on the new rules, you can contact Uel or take a look at http://www.usga.org/content/usga/home-page/rules-hub. html. Gail McGurk highlighted the upcoming season with our first event April 19th to be followed by our big Angel House charity event May 5th. Our regular play days were highlighted by Beth Hood. [Even if you aren’t interested in playing in the tournaments, it is worthwhile to join for the play days that are always a lot of fun and a great way to acquaint yourself with the group.] Pat is not only in charge of divine intervention (rain and game) but also in charge of our money! She reviewed our annual budget, funded by our $35 membership dues, which is used for tournament prizes, new member gifts, play day and birdie tree awards. Five percent of the annual dues goes to Angel House. Eleanor Gibbons updated us on the Birdie Tree and the Ringer Board. It is $10 to join the Ringer Board and the money to join is used for year end prizes.

Jan Garbiel has been working hard to put together a directory of the LALGA members. If you have not already submitted your information to Jan please do so. Eleanor thanked everyone for making last year’s Angel House Tournament such a success. The record amount of money raised last year went to improve the Angel House bathrooms and changing areas for the girls. They plan to use our 2018 donation to make much needed repairs in the roof and ceilings. Gail encouraged us to find hole sponsors, vendors for the silent auction, and to play in the tournament if not otherwise volunteering.

CLUB BUSINESS A WORD FROM THE BILLING DEPARTMENT by Melissa Deems Thank you to those who make posting easy by including your payment stub or using their correct account number on your payments. As I pointed out in my last article, making sure your payment is posted to your account is as important to me as it is to you. This requires your assistance. You can help by doing the following: 1. List your account number(s) on your payment. Payments cannot be posted using an address. 2. Mail payments to the address on your statement and make payments out to Lake Arrowhead Yacht and Country Club (LAYCC) 3. Don’t write checks in a hurry. This often causes errors and your check will possibly be sent back. To prevent posting errors and ensure that your payment is applied properly to your account, use the space provided by your bank to enter your account number for online payments. Your Member ID card number should be the same account number on your monthly statements. Please be sure this is the account number you are using for your online payments. Please pay the amount on your statement. Several times during the month, I receive calls from property owners who do not understand extra charges on their statement. Their confusion is usually because they call several months after the charge was assessed. The description of the charge is on the statement when the charge was first placed on the account. Open your statements every month to be sure you are being charged and credited correctly. Extra charges the past several months have been mostly due to additional gate cards and remote access devices. These charges are added when the devices are received. If you have not done so already, please pick up your order in the Administrative Office above the Pro Shop. Checks written in a hurry are often written to the wrong

ATTENTION PROPERTY OWNERS WHO RENT OUT THEIR HOME: Please notify your tenants that all Resident Guests (all those who rent, lease or otherwise occupy a home which they do not legally own) must renew their photo ID cards annually. Need to renew? Call Member Services for an appointment at 770.721.7912.

company, sent to the wrong address, missing a signature or contain amounts that do not agree in both sections of the check. If your check has $130.00 in one section but written one hundred dollars, the check must be posted as $100.00 since the bank acknowledges the written amount. Checks are deposited using a check reader so please write as legible as possible. Thank you for all your help. It is a joy to be a part of the Lake Arrowhead team!

ARCHITECTURAL EXTERIOR WORK POLICY When an Exterior Work Permit is approved, the owner will be sent an 8 ½ x 11 permit that shall be placed in a window on the first floor of the property. The blue permit sign indicates that work on the property was reviewed and approved by the Architectural Review Committee.

security update Security is engaged in a new community program called Wellness Check. An on-duty guard will call you each day at a time you choose for them to call your residence. They will just check to see if you are OK. If this is a program you would like to enroll in, please call the north Gate (770 479-2565) and have your name added to the list. There is no charge for this service and if you decide to stop this community service, just call the North Gate and cancel. The list is confidential and will not be used except for the wellness check. Also, now is the time of year we have all of our deer babies (fawns) running close to the roadway. Please slow down and give them a chance to survive. If you see a fawn laying by themselves, don’t go near them; their mother will return. The doe (adult female deer) will rarely be found near her fawn for the first few weeks of its life because her presence may attract predators. The fawn is well camouflaged and has very little odor, which helps it hide from predators. The good folks at Animal Medical and Surgery Center (770-4790111) will treat and release back into the wild small injured animals like birds and squirrels.

by Maury Nunes

There it is and here it comes….Nice and high….It’s going to land just about right in front of me….Perfect….All I have to do is play the bounce right….And then I can hit my favorite shot – the overhead SMASH. Sounds good, but there are a bunch of risky assumptions hidden within that thought process, so that there are a number of ways in which things might just go wrong. Let’s count the ways; shall we? One: For us doubles players, being so high, it may well be that it’s track and timing makes it playable for both my partner and I, so we may get in each other’s way. [Better call for it.] Two: The higher the ball climbs, the bigger the bounce, so too close to the bounce point and the ball can bounce over my outstretched racquet. [More likely with the vertically challenged like myself.] Three: Too far back on the bounce and my smash, starting too low is more likely to disturb only the net. Four: Too slow on the swing and the ball will sail out of the court. Five; Too high on the swing and the ball will sail into the net. Six: Too focused on the ball with no attention to the opponents (especially if they are at the net) and even a great full-force smash may be delicately or forcefully returned for a winner. The main point here [I keep telling myself] is that as satisfying as a smash is when well-hit, it’s not always the wisest shot. In fact, wisdom may be under 50% applicable.

What are the alternatives? The big advantage to the big bounce for the player making the return is extra time to get into position and plan the shot placement, which is, of course, a function of where the opponents are and where they seem to be going. If opponents are back at the baseline and particularly if the big bounce is close to the net, a little dink, especially angled to a side, may be far more effective. Many high lobs are made from way back so the lobber gets the chance to reposition or to hit over opponents at net. Playing the ball before the bounce for a dink or straight shot placement may be a smarter shot. A return lob has the advantage of meeting the ball on the upswing, reducing the risks of into the net or a sail-away. A pre-bounce smash can also be effective, but is the shot requiring the most skill as gravity is bringing that ball down quickly at an angle quite oblique to the racquet’s face on the swing so a failure to time the time to swing has the greatest chance for an errant return. With all those considerations, there is one more that is very intriguing. It is not unusual for the opponent who expects the smash to back up for extra time to play the ball and to reduce the risk of being hit. Hence, like nuclear weapons, it is the threat of use that makes the smash a great weapon to have in the arsenal. But, again like nuclear weapons, indiscriminate use can easily turn to disaster. - You have been warned!

COMMUNITY INTEREST N’AWLINS – HERE WE COME!!!!! by Jill Strickland What??? Is it Mardi Gras? Did Bourbon Street call? Is it a Saints game?? What on earth is Shepherd’s Hook doing in New Orleans?? They’re not visiting, they’re sending handmade articles to the National WWII Museum in New Orleans. The mission statement of the Museum emphasizes the American experience in World War II. The Museum is affiliated with the Smithsonian Institution. It is also on TripAdvisors top list of things to do while in New Orleans. Yes, a national war museum in New Orleans! Two members of Shepherd’s Hook visited the Museum in January and came across the Museum’s outreach program known as Knit Your Bit. This outreach has reached more than 10,000 knitters and crocheters in all 50 states. Through their efforts, the Museum has distributed more than 50,000 scarves to veterans’ centers, hospitals, and service organizations across the country. Well – That’s right up with what Shepherd’s Hook does – so they joined this national service project and sent scarves to our veterans. Over 40 beautiful scarves with handmade tags were created by members of Lake Arrowhead. Off to New Orleans they went the last week of April. If you can knit, loom or crochet, please join the team as they begin the next campaign which is sending 100 scarves and 50 hats to Operation Gratitude. These will be sent to our troops overseas in Care Packages – and you know that is something special for each and every one of our service members. Additionally, blankets are always being made so you can stretch your skills with various creations. Shepherd’s Hook meets Monday’s at 10 at the LA Church or work from home with Shepherds@Home. You do not need to be a church member – this is a community effort. Yarn and fleece (for baby and ICU blankets) is provided. Email lashepherdshook@gmail.com for more information. By the way – the Museum is terrific and will take you most of the day to go through. Add it to your trip list! Pictures are Scarves for Knit Your Bit and an award picture from the American Legion for articles given to veterans and the troops.

COMMUNITY INTEREST reinhardt university women’s hardt breakers serenade wac by Jane Wimmer The April 11 meeting of the Lake Arrowhead Women’s Activity Club (WAC) was a brunch featuring the Hardt Breakers, the a cappella women’s group from Reinhardt University. The music was eclectic and featured the beautiful song Seasons of Love among others. The Hardt Breakes and the Men of Hardt performed an excellent end of the year concert at the Falany Performing Arts Center on April 13. Many of the approximately 12 women in the group are freshmen and the Lake Arrowhead community can look forward to more music from the Hardt Breakers next year. The Women’s Activity Club is a Patron sponsor of Falany programs. Janik Leman was honored at the brunch for her approximately 29 years of service as treasurer of the WAC. Tommy Simmons and Gloria Anderson now will share the role of cotreasurers for the group. Elena Artman is searching for a co-chairman to assist with next year’s WAC. If anyone is willing to consider this role, please contact her at 706 767-3757 for more information.

The brunch menu featured delicious quiches, scrambled eggs, grilled asparagus, cheeses, fruits, and assorted desserts. The buffet was a departure from our usual lunch time meetings. Our May 9 activity will be a waterfront pot-luck picnic at the home of Jane Wimmer. All women in Lake Arrowhead are welcome to join.

COMMUNITY INTEREST does butter make a difference in baking? by Tommy C. Simmons, an enthusiastic cook I love baking cookies and just about always have a few homemade cookies under a glass cake dome on the kitchen counter. Those cookies beckon me to have a sweet nibble after lunch, and I do oblige. I have favorite varieties, oatmeal raisin, chocolate chip, ginger snaps, and like both crisp and chewy cookies. Since I’ve baked cookies all my life, I never thought about what makes a cookie crisp or chewy? However, lately, I’ve been unable to reproduce a chewy cane syrup cookie I used to make in Louisiana. It keeps coming out crisp and I’m not sure why. According to the website hollybaking.com, there are certain ingredients and baking steps that will guarantee a chewy cookie: Use shortening instead of butter for the fat; Use brown sugar instead of white sugar; Make bigger cookies; Bake at a higher temperature and for a shorter time; Use less liquid; Use more flour and make it cake flour, not allpurpose; and use eggs. The idea is to make a cookie that will not spread and lose moisture, thus staying moist and chewy. I identified what I was doing wrong with my cane syrup cookie and it involved my baking temperature. To adapt to baking in a gas oven, I had lowered my baking temperature.

The cookie was baking too long and drying out. If you prefer a crisp cookie, the website advises: Use butter not shortening; Use white sugar not brown; Use allpurpose flour, not cake flour; and Use eggs. Bake at a lower temperature for a longer period of time. To achieve a crisp cookie, you need to evaporate the moisture in the dough and it does this more easily when the batter spreads. Butter melts faster than shortening and spreads the batter more. Another website also suggests using a butter with a high percentage of butterfat so the cookie batter spreads even faster. I made a batch of chocolate chip cookies with Alfresco Butter from Vital Farms, which I found at Publix. The butter is 85 percent butterfat. The cookies had a distinct buttery, caramelized flavor. I will try using the high butterfat butter next time I make lace cookies. Our granddaughters made these chocolate chip cookies during their last visit. The ingredients were appropriate for both chewy and crisp cookies so we baked the cookies until just set on the edges and still soft in the center. Judged “just right” by our family.

home kitchen tested recipe CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES Makes 4 dozen cookies. Recipe is from Karyn Simmons.

2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour 1 tsp. baking soda 1 cup butter ¾ cup brown sugar ¼ cup white sugar 1 small box instant Jell-O vanilla pudding mix 2 eggs 1 tsp. vanilla extract 2 cups chocolate chips

Chocolate Chip Cookies can be crisp or chewy, which do you prefer?

1. Sift flour and baking soda together and set aside. 2. Cream butter, brown sugar, white sugar and pudding mix with a beater until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla. 3. Mix flour and baking soda into creamed butter mixture. Beat just enough to thoroughly mix. Stir in chocolate chips. 4. Bake on parchment-lined cookie sheet at 350 degrees until cookies are set on edges but still soft in center. Cool on a wire rack. Store covered. PAGE 30 | MAY / JUNE 2018

COMMUNITY INTEREST reading between the wines by Sarah Martin Jones A Land More Kind than Home – Wiley Cash. New York: Harper Collins, 2012. In the United States, it is estimated that some 125 churches illegally incorporate snake handling and other dangerous rituals into their services. These congregations, mostly situated in rural Appalachia, point to Mark 16: 17-18 as justification for their practice: “They will cast out demons, they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will place their hands on the sick, and they will get well.” Told from the perspective of three narrators – a sevenyear-old boy, an ancient Sunday School teacher and a sheriff who still hurts and hates – A Land More Kind than Home takes place over one bitterly cold, winter weekend in western North Carolina when Carson Chambliss, pastor of the River Road Church of Christ in Signs Following, convinces parishioner Julie Hall to bring her mute thirteenyear-old son Christopher, known as Stump, to the Sunday morning worship service. Chambliss has been warned to keep children out of the services – a warning that he has ignored. As a result, 81-year-old Addie Lyle has made it her mission to keep children like Stump out of Chambliss’s reach. She made this decision after witnessing a death in the church some years earlier. “I was afraid because I knew that church,” she explains. “I knew the man who ran it as if he thought he was Jesus Christ himself, and some of those people who went to that church believed in [him] like he might just be.” But Chambliss prevails and, as Stump’s younger brother, Jeff, peeps through a crack in the newspaper-covered windows, he sees his brother “laying on the stage and Pastor Chambliss and that other man laying on top of him. Stump’s feet were kicking like he was trying to get away . . . and somebody was just banging away on the piano and just about all of them had their eyes closed except Mama. She was staring at them where they were laying on Stump and holding him down and touching him and she was crying and hollering for them to stop.” Out of fear for his brother, Jeff cries out, “Mama!” Only that’s not what she, the pastor and the congregation hear. They believe Stump has been healed of his sinful inability to utter a sound. That evening, with Chambliss’s forceful encouragement, she brings Stump back to church. A few hours later, he is carried out. Addie knows that the community of Marshall for years has been long on religion and short on love. “People out in these parts can take hold of religion like it’s a drug, and they don’t want to give it up once they’ve got hold of it.

And when they’re on it, they’ll turn right around and kill each other over that faith, throw out their kids, cheat on husbands and wives, break up families just as quick.” Even Pastor Chambliss excuses the fire that burned forty percent of his body when he was cooking meth as the hand of God purifying him. He steals another man’s wife with the same godly justification. But justice and a step toward healing come to the community and the church once the wrath of Pastor Chambliss is gone. “At one time we were like a frostbitten hand that’s just begun to thaw,” Addie ruminates as the paper is torn off the church windows, a symbolic gesture of allowing the light of God into the worship place. “First the tips of the fingers come alive, and suddenly they can open and close. And then the palm begins to feel again. Upturned. Waiting. Witnessing. We began to feel again too.” In short, Cash uses his story not simply as an examination of backward thinking on the part of rural church goers. Instead he examines the heart’s ability to process love, faith, tragedy and forgiveness. Like many Southern writers before him, he channels the voices of the people from his home state to pen this, his first novel. He’s written subsequent books, most recently The Last Ballad, but for many critics and readers, A Land More Kind than Home remains his finest. My Wine Recommendation It doesn’t get any more North Carolinian than NASCAR. So it’s no surprise that team owner Richard Childress established his winery in the northwest region of the state close to his racing operations. (And as every racing fan knows, he bought his team from the legendary, late Dale Earnhardt. Just saying.) It took some time for Childress to establish himself in the wine business, but based on a blended wine like the Reserve Petit Verdot 14, he’s making his mark. The folks of Marshall understand all about new beginnings. They would enjoy this red at their next community barbeque, as long as the good church deacons don’t catch them drinking.
