golf news DUNCAN AND DUNCAN WIN THE 2020 MEMBER-GUEST TOURNAMENT After two days of golf and a sudden death shootout among flight winners, Andrew Duncan and his Son, Ryan Duncan, won this year’s Member-Guest Tournament. After shooting a net 66 (6 under par) on Saturday, they followed up with a net 69.2 on Sunday to win their flight. This put them into a sudden death shootout with four other flight winners to determine the Tournament Champions. Andrew and Ryan won a chip off on the 18th hole over Bill Maynard and Lee Graham to claim the championship.

But this was just part of the Member-Guest story line. Tournament festivities actually began at 2 pm on Friday, October 2, with an optional 9-hole skins game. Official Tournament activities began the next day with an 18 hole best ball competition and a formal dinner.

Activities concluded on Sunday with an 18 hole scramble, lunch, and the shootout. The competition in all the flights was close and the food prepared by the Club was outstanding! The general consensus of the participants (members and guests alike) was that this was truly an outstanding event.

Overall 28 member-guest teams played this year. Prior to the Tournament, the Club’s professional staff divided the teams into flights according to their combined handicaps. This helps to ensure that the teams were evenly matched during the competition. The flight winners and their combined net scores for the two days are shown below: Flight Nicklaus Palmer Hogan Snead Lopez

Flight Winners Bill Maynard & Lee Graham Craig Glasgow & Nic Glasgow Larry Adams & Jeff Bedard Andrew Duncan & Ryan Duncan Pam Glasgow & Kim Brophy

Net Score 135.8 130.8 135.8 135.2 140.2

Flight Runners-up Net Score Lee Heubner & Chuck Ramirez 136.2 Brad Jones & Eddy Woody 132.4 Chris Benway & Brad Sweetwood 138 Ray Champitto & Larry Dietrich 140.4 Michelle Maynard & Debbie Switalski 145.3

All of the flight winners and runners-up received Pro-Shop gift certificates. The Tournament Champions and Runners-up received additional gift certificates and a very desirable trophy. Congratulations to Andrew, Ryan and all of the other winners for their well-deserved victories!

Special thanks to: • The members and guests who participated. Without their interest and willingness to make this event special, it would just be another tournament.

• Golf Professionals Uel Kemp and Kevin Aines and their staff.

• Chef Jason Danneman and the restaurant staff.

Do you remember the Old saying “Third time is the Charm”? Well, for the LGA September Play Event that was the case. Scheduled for September 17th, the day was a total washout due to the remnants of Hurricane Sally. So, we decided to reschedule for the following Thursday, September 24th. This time is was a major washout due to Tropical Storm Beta.

Determined to get in this Play Event, we moved it to Monday September 28th and had a beautiful sunny day to play one of our more fun formats…” The Pin Ball Format”. What you ask is that? This is a game of individual scoring for 9 holes. Each lady receives a PINK ball to use for the 9-hole play. If they lose their PINK ball, they continue playing with another color ball. Prizes were awarded to the top three scores and to those that retain their PINK ball.

Our theme for the day was “Tie-Dyed for Golf” and our Social Chairs made sure that we were decked out in tie-dyed face masks for our day of play. A few of the ladies went so far as to wear tie-dyed outfits while others were wearing PINK in recognition of the format. Needless to say, it was an afternoon of fun after a couple of weeks of rain but a challenge to hang on to that PINK ball.

The year is winding down for our league.

We have our last Play Event October 16th, which will be an LGA/MGA 9 & Dine. The theme for this event will be “Sadie Hawkins Golf” and costumes are encouraged. Let’s hope this beautiful fall weather holds and out and our LGA and MGA player have a great fun.

PAGE 12 | NOVEMBER // DECEMBER 2020

The LGA Board is currently working on plans for our Fall Business Meeting scheduled November 11th.

We will be electing new officers and planning for next year’s events. Covid 19 has taken its toll on our league this year with fewer members and events.

We hope that we are turning the corner and that our former members will return and that we can add new members to our roster.

The LGA Board hopes that we can entice the lady golfers in the community to consider becoming a member of our league. We are a fun group of all levels of lady golfers and we’d like to share our group with you. Membership forms are available at the clubhouse.

During these times of uncertainty, we are here for you!

fitness and sports LA PICKLEBALL PLAYERS LOVE THE NEW COURTS

by Don Wehe, Jim Winchester & Maury Nunes

The four new permanent Pickleball Courts at the newly renovated Sport Court at Red Cloud Park are an instant success for the groups of Lake Arrowhead players. Our beginner level open-play group immediately filled the new courts with excitement and fun!!! The experienced open-play group reacted with similar positive emotions.

The Sport Court’s genesis arose out of a 2019 meeting among Johnson Development Company’s Larry Johnson and Steve Roe with LAPOA Board President Maury Nunes. Larry Johnson graciously agreed that JDC would renovate the previously abandoned tennis courts at Red Cloud Park .

The same meeting yielded JDC’s investment in building the Fishing Pier on Lake Arrowhead,, the Fishing Pad at Lake Chickasaw, the coming Kayak Launch on Lake Arrowhead and arrangements for the 25 new boat slips at the Pavilion. These are welcome amenities and Larry and Steve deserve great credit for recognizing the needs of Lake Arrowhead’s growing population.

Showing their love for the new courts were (left to right kneeling) Sally Winchester, Charlie Robison, Jim Winchester, Brian Hatfield, (standing) Laura and Wayne Martin, John Amandea, Dan Blancato, Tom McCarthy, Mike Ballard, Don and Merri Wehe.

Once the renovation was authorized, Lake Arrowhead’s Bill Hess, Lake Arrowhead’s “Pickleball Ambassador” worked closely with James Haslam of HMS Golf and Steve Roe in planning for the new facility. In addition to the four Pickleball Courts, there is a half-basketball Court and a children’s play area that will be stenciled for standard games like hopscotch and include substantial chalkable space.

Pickleball is the fasting growing sport not only in the world, but also here in Lake Arrowhead with more than 50 active players. Our groups play at all levels and welcome new players. Beginner level play is on Tuesday mornings and Wednesday/ Saturday evenings, while experienced level play is on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday late afternoons into early evening.

If you would like more information or would like to learn the sport, please text Jim Winchester at 470-222-1634 or contact Bill Hess at 770-7048297 PAGE 16 | NOVEMBER // DECEMBER 2020

Celebrating the new Pickleball Courts are (Back Row) Tara Cucksee, Glenn Gibson, Bill Hess, Dan Blancato, Wayne Martin (Front Row) Jim Winchester,, Bob Faller, Carole Hess, Maury Nunes, Robin Copa, Joe Salter.

community interest LOOKING BACK by Maury Nunes After four years as LAPOA President, I’m writing to thank the Community for the opportunity to hold this post and to thank my fellow Board Members throughout this time. They are, alphabetically: Eric Atkins, Bob Baker, Marilyn Biviano, Ward Brimmer, Gary Charles, Jim Herndon, Dawn James- Townes, Desmond Martin, Gail McGurk, Steve Miller, Tim O’Pry, Richard Piercy, Mary Sawyer, Jack Shofstall, John Stein, Rod Sudbeck While we didn’t all always agree, we almost always ended up acting together by consensus and all made contributions to our efforts. In those rare instances where majority rules, dissent was always a worthy test of the wisdom of the majority.

Thanks are also owed to our appointed Secretaries and Assistant Secretaries who did yeoman work during these busy four years. They are (again alphabetically) Patty Adams, Kathy Deitz, Renee DeSort, Tim Trussell, Tracie Trussell, Sally Winchester.

Credit is also due to the work of our Committees and their Chairs, too numerous to include, but they, too, deserve special thanks, for they expanded the Board’s reach and knowledge and very definitely made significant contributions that improved our work.

With the input and help of all these people, here’s what LAPOA’s Board has achieved since October, 2016: • Negotiated Contract with Declarant • Reduction in Declarant’s Fee from 10% to 9% • Additional 2% Rebate (Net Fee: 7%) If Dues Track Inflation • Reduction in Contracted Manager’s Fee From 4.25% to 3.5% • Agreement on Dues Increase Modality • Dry Storage Fees Henceforth Included In LAYCC Funds • Impact Fee Agreed (40¢/sq.ft.)

• Obtained Regular Reporting on Construction Projects Status • New Home Developments • Common Properties Projects • Negotiated Insurance Reimbursement Agreement for LAPOA Insurance Costs Covering All Directors, Officers, Committee Members & Volunteers No doubt, much of the foregoing could not have been accomplished without the thoughtful and welcome cooperation of Larry Johnson, Steve Roe, James Haslam, Uel Kemp and Greg Cantrell, as well as various staff of LAYCC, Johnson Development Corporation and HMS Golf. Again, while we did not always agree, at all times there was mutual respect for our differing positions arising from different needs and perspectives. In the grand scheme of things, most of the time our coinciding interests proved paramount in reaching compromises that permitted progress toward these achievements.

The newly elected Board, with President John Stein, has hit the ground running and I am super-confident they will build on the achievements of the last four years as we built on the work of prior Boards headed by Tony Rogowski, Ward Brimmer, Roger Akers, Joe Love and others.

Lake Arrowhead is a special place, a special home and I think the closest thing to paradise on Earth. Again, thank you, Property Owners, for the opportunity to work to preserve, protect and improve this wonderful community.

Wills Vs. Trusts

Many people have “done their wills.” Many that we see are inadequate or outdated.

And many people would benefit greatly from a trust centered plan.

• A trust-centered plan avoids living probate, also known as conservatorship, in the event you are unable to manage your own affairs.

• A trust can provide greater post death flexibility and protection for beneficiaries.

• A trust provides better control and protection than joint ownership of accounts and property.

• A trust promotes privacy (unlike a will, which must go through the public probate process).

• A trust often has lower settlement costs than a comparable probate.

• A trust is more difficult than a will for a disgruntled heir to challenge or overturn.

We are here to help.

community interest READING BETWEEN THE WINES

by Sarah Martin Jones

Alysha at Last – Uzma Jalaluddin. New York: Berkley, 2018.

No one writes about social conventions quite like Jane Austin. In her six novels set in the middle to upper class world of the Hampshire countryside where she lived, she wrote about the stodginess of British society with wit and understanding of the manners and etiquette of her day, creating memorable characters who have global appeal.

As critic John F. Burrows put it, “her legacy as one of the greatest writers boils down to her economy of description, her customary formality of tone, her subtle mingling of styles, and her creation of so smooth a surface that every ripple repays our attention.”

It is no wonder, then, that modern writers model Austin’s writing style in movies (like “Clueless” based on Emma) and books ( my favorite, Bridget Jones’s Diary), overlaying Austin’s distinct voice to stories about contemporary life. Author Uzma Jalaluddin’s novel, set in modern-day Toronto, paraphrases the famous opening line of Pride and Prejudice to set up her tale of an attraction between opposites: “While it is a truth universally acknowledged that a single Muslim man must be in want of a wife, there’s an even greater truth: To his Indian mother, his own inclinations are of secondary importance.”

The “Mr. Darcy” in Jalaluddin’s story is Khalid, a conservative Muslim who not only closely practices his religious principles, wearing his white robes and beard like a “security blanket,” but who firmly believes that ‘mama knows best’ when it comes to finding him a proper wife.

The Elizabeth Bennet in his life is Ayesha, an educated, outspoken substitute teacher who believes that a woman can be a faithful follower of her faith (she wears hijabs) while also living an independent life. (She’s still single at 27. Gasp!)

Sparks fly when the two meet. He judges her to be improper for drinking at a bar; she labels him a fundamentalist because of his skull cap and disdainful manner toward others. In typical Austin fashion, these close encounters pile up more and more misunderstandings, propelling the story forward.

Like Darcy and Elizabeth, both Khalid and Ayesha have their flaws. His ultra-conservatism and ideology force him to conform so closely to community expectations that his true self has little room to breathe, much like a 19th century corset would constrict the body. And while

PAGE 32 | NOVEMBER // DECEMBER 2020

Alysha is a more sympathetic character with her giving heart, love of poetry and willingness to help her family, she allows herself to be used by a selfish cousin who collects marriage proposals for sport, reminding the reader of the flirtatious nature of the younger Bennet sisters.

The strength of the book lies in its rich depiction of a thriving Muslim community.

Rather than relying on stereotypes, Jalaluddin develops all her characters, both major and minor, with thought and depth. Each one has a unique voice which allows the reader to feel a part of the community. The romance between Khalid and Ayesha builds gently, and the author borrows another trope from a British author, using a mistaken identity twist that feels straight out of a Shakespeare comedy.

With its blend of humor, heartbreak, and, of course, a happy ending, Alysha at Last delivers a satisfying read, even for those who have never cracked the pages of P&P. MY WINE RECOMMENDATION Located in Wellington, Ontario, not far from Toronto, is the Norman Hardie Winery. Norm did his training for wine making back in the 1980s at the University of Dijon and worked in the wine industry until 2003 when he opened his vineyard. Using French techniques and regional grapes, his wines have both an Old World and New World taste. For Khalid and Ayesha’s first date, I recommend a traditional Indian curry paired with Norman Hardie Country Cabernet Franc. With its complex nose of blackberry, liquorice, bramble jelly and pepper, it would hold up excellently with the spicy goodness of a good curry. $30 Sarah Martin Jones is a former English teacher and author of Quicksand: A Cautionary Love Story. Her novel, Summer Squall, will be published by Sunbury Press in Fall 2019. You can reach her at sarah.gently@gmail.com and read her book and wine pairings at www.SarahJonesAuthor.com.
