golf news
by Cindy Rincon Winter is upon us and finding ‘good’ days to practice and play will be challenging. As you think a back about your recent season and the fun you had…we thought you’d enjoy this poem Jan Garbiel, LALGA president, found on the web. Have fun and hit’em straight!
Ode to Golf - A Poem for Golfers In My Hand I Hold A Ball, White And Dimpled...Rather Small. Oh, How Bland It Does Appear, This Harmless Looking Little Sphere. By Its Size I Could Not Guess The Awesome Strength It Does Possess. But Since I Fell Beneath Its Spell, I've Wandered Through the Fires Of Hell. My Life Has Not Been Quite The Same Since I Chose To Play This Stupid Game. It Rules My Mind for Hours On End. A Fortune It Has Made Me Spend.
Stand proud, noble swingers of clubs and losers of balls! Recent studies found average golfers walk 900 miles a year. Another study found golfers drink 22 gallons of alcohol a year. This means, on average, golfers get 41 miles to the gallon! Kind of makes you proud. Almost makes you feel like a hybrid... ~ Author: Allan Berman
Super Bowl Scramble
February 5
It Has Made Me Curse and Made Me Cry, And Hate Myself and Want To Die. It Promises Me A Thing Called Par, If I Hit It Straight and Far.
St. Patrick's Day Scramble March 19
To Master Such A Tiny Ball, Should Not Be Very Hard at All. But My Desires the Ball Refuses, And Does Exactly as It Chooses. It Hooks And Slices, Dribbles And Dies, And Disappears Before My Eyes. Often It Will Have a Whim, To Hit a Tree Or Take a Swim. With Miles Of Grass On Which To Land, It Finds a Tiny Patch Of Sand. Then Has Me Offering Up My Soul, If Only It Would Find the Hole. It's Made Me Whimper Like A Pup, And Swear That I Will Give It Up. And Take to Drink To Ease My Sorrow, But The Ball Knows ... I'll Be Back Tomorrow.

feature article CALLING ALL RESIDENTS!
Confirm Your Information for the Biannual Printed Directory Many of you already know that every two years, Lake Arrowhead publishes a printed directory of our residents, searchable by last name and by street. This is a fabulous resource that makes it easy for our friendly residents to find – and be found by – their neighbors. The next printing of the directory is coming mid-summer of 2022, and with this comes the Herculean task of obtaining up-to-date information for all residents who wish to be included! The information for the printed directory is taken from a master resident database kept by the Lake Arrowhead Directory Committee. You can see what contact information exists for you in the database by reviewing the Online Owner Directory, which can be found on the lapoaga.com website. Login is required to access this information and is available only to property owners.
So, what do we need from you?
Most of you will have no changes, but if your phone number or email has changed within the past year or two, or you wish to add or delete information, here is what you need to do! If you DO wish to be included in the directory: 1. Log in and review your information in the Online Owner Directory – www.lapoaga.com. 2. If your information needs updating, please submit a Directory Information Form (found on the website under Documents) and note on the form that it is a correction to EXISTING data. Please be sure to include all information that you wish to have published, not just the info you want to revise. 3.
If you are a new resident and:
a. already submitted a Directory Information Form when you moved in, but your information is not yet included in the Online Owner Directory, no action is needed at this time. b. want to be in the directory but have not submitted a Directory Information Form yet, please do so and your information will be added to the master database and will appear in the next update of the online and printed directories. c. can’t remember, go ahead and fill out the Directory Information Form, just in case!
If you DO NOT wish to be included in the directory: Please send an email to lapoadirectory@gmail.com with your name and property address, indicating your desire to have your contact information permanently removed from the master directory database. This will keep your information from appearing in either version. The Directory Information Form can be found on lapoaga.com under the Documents menu. To submit, you can: download and return via email to lapoagadirectory@gmail.com; click the Online Form option and fill in the information online and hit Send, or print and fill out and return to the Administrative Office at the clubhouse.
The deadline to update your information to be included in the printed directory is March 1, 2022. We are proud and excited to offer this directory to our residents, and we appreciate your responsiveness in this ongoing effort! If you would like to be a part of the Directory committee, please send an email to lapoagadirectory@gmail.com. We welcome your participation!

community interest READING BETWEEN THE WINES
by Sarah Martin Jones
Dear neighbors. Since 2015 it has been my pleasure to publish a book review each month in the Lake Arrowhead magazine. My concept was simple – to share some of my favorite reads and pair it with a wine sourced from each story’s setting. I’ve tried to make my book selections heart touching (“Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand” by Helen Simonson), thought provoking (“American Dirt” by Jeanine Cummins) atmospheric (“Bone River” by Megan Chance), and humorous (“The Good Lord Bird” by James McBride). I hope that one or two of my reviews tempted you to read the novel and sip the wine. Beginning in January 2022, I will no longer be a Lake Arrowhead resident, so it is only right to open this magazine page to another writer. In the history of our community, you’ve been treated to the wisdom of Jane Doss, the culinary taste of Tommy Simmons, and the insights of Nyle Srok, among others. I’m sure someone will use this page to share gardening tips, personal essays, music reviews or any number of topics of interests shared around the lake. Living in Woodstock, I won’t be far away, and I will continue to post reviews to my webpage (https://sarahjonesauthor.com). My last review is a repeat of one of my favorites – “My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry” by Fredrick Bachman. (Have a hanky close by for this one. And your wine, of course.)
Happy New Year and happy reading.
Sarah
My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry Fredrick Backman. New York: Simon and Schuster, 2015. “Every seven-year-old deserves a superhero. And that’s just how it is. Anyone who doesn’t agree needs their head examined.” That’s what Elsa’s granny says, and, naturally, Elsa agrees. How else could a seven-going-on-eight-year-old girl who has been labeled everything from “different” to “very grown-up for her age” to “massively annoying” survive being bullied at school, her parent’s divorce, a new half-brother or sister on the way, a new father, and a granny who has cancer? As Elsa would say, “It’s a little complicated.” While readers of Fredrik Backman’s previous two books may have found A Man Called Ove a difficult character to admire and Britt Marie Was Here a hard pill to swallow, they will surely fall in love with Elsa and her feisty granny. They have a bond that every parent, every child, every grandparent longs for. Their bond is so strong that even Elsa’s Mum is jealous. The bond was forged on those nights when Elsa couldn’t sleep and would crawl into bed with her granny who lives across the hall in an apartment flat. Else would nod off PAGE 16 | JANUARY 2022 // FEBRUARY 2022
listening to stories about the six secret kingdoms of “The Land-of-Almost-Awake.” There she sees all the magical creatures – the “enphants” and “regretters” and the “noween” and “wurses” and snow-angels and princes and princesses and night and cloud animals that sore over the endless dark forests where Wolfheart and all the other monsters live. And the dragon. Every secret kingdom has one. But one night when Elsa’s granny is in the hospital, Elsa overhears that her granny is dying. When she is called into the room, her granny tells her in the secret language they share: “I have an important assignment.” She must deliver letters and tell each person who receives one, “My grandmother asked me to tell you she’s sorry.” Thus begins a treasure hunt like no other. Not only must Elsa find the letters and put together the clues for whom to deliver each one to, she must also process the death of the person she loves most. That’s a tall order for a little girl, even if she is nearly eight. What Elsa learns as she carries out her mission is that the six secret kingdoms have an uncanny resemblance to
community interest the neighborhood where she lives, especially her own apartment complex and the people who live behind the closed doors. Beckman’s story is not only about little Elsa. It also unfolds the remarkable life of her granny – a surgeon who responded to crises around the world and saved as many people as she could who were broken by the horrors they experienced. Photos of these people are taped to granny’s bedroom ceiling. Some even live nearby. The lessons Elsa learns from her adventure are endless: She learns that a full-time ‘nag-bag’ is actually a very lonely person; that a drunk has a deep sorrow; that a dog is truly one’s best friend, and that not all monsters look like monsters. Some carry their monstrosity inside. She also learns that every adult has regrets and that every person wants love. “Having a grandmother is like having an army,” Elsa realizes. “This is a grandchild’s ultimate privilege: knowing that someone is on your side, always, whatever the details. Even when you’re wrong. Especially then, in fact. A grandmother is both a sword and a shield.” Read this book and pass it on to someone you love.
LAKE ARROWHEAD COMMUNITY TRAVEL CLUB
MY WINE RECOMMENDATION On special occasions, like her birthday, Elsa is allowed a taste of wine. While Sweden is better known for its vodka, the Swedish Hill Winery (http://swedishhill.com/) set forth forty years ago to change that. This third-generation family-owned vineyard has won five Winery of the Year awards in international competitions in the past four years. Both Elsa and her granny would enjoy the award winning 2014 Late Harvest Vignoles dessert wine. Elsa would like its peach and pineapple flavors, while Granny would appreciate how well it pairs with a homemade apple tart. $23.
