Corrections To Previous Report

On pull 51 (Wal-Mart Real New Millennium – region 9, 6 Jan), Gus (60#) was entered as pulling 1315 on the finish report. It should have been 1790. There was a 200# increment and all the other entrants ended in zero; so it was somehow posted wrong. One of these days, I’ll get cart weight and increments into the database and check for errors such as this.

Disqualification

Precious, owned by Dwayne Phipps of region 6, was disqualified from 6 pulls in October as Precious was pregnant at that time. Precious only lost two points in the process as she attended 12 pulls in all.

Requested Changes

Glory owned by Tina Pederson in region 7. Was sold on or before 18 March 2001. Consequently, Glory’s points for the season will be reset (setting provisional on all pulls). Glory was in 1^st place with 52 points in region 7, 80-pound class.

Sly and Sly Guy is the same dog (reported by Terry Reed). Merged them into Sly Guy owned by Janice Guetzmacher, and updated the pull listings and statistics on the web.

E R R O R S

Pull 102, Union Gap, WA

Timber – owned by Judith McCauley. Timber was withdrawn before the class started, but was left in the line-up with a no-pull. Timber has been removed from the pull to reflect reality.

Assumptions

Chevy – Region 5, 60#, handled by Regina Caldwell at Pack Forest 17-18 February. Assuming Steve Jackson’s dog, as Steve had already handled two dogs in the class.

Gabby – Region 2, 35#. Susie Malcolm handled Gabby on the first day of the Sun Dome Pull, and Gary on the second day. She doesn’t have a dog named Gary assigned to her. Both were a Cocker at 26 pounds. I am assuming she handled Gabby the second day.
Confirmed

Topaz – Handled by Brandon Lutz at the Hillside SPCA pull 3 March. Assuming Steve Jackson’s dog.
Confirmed

Chevy – Handled by Paul Lutz at the Hillside SPCA pull 3 March. Assuming Steve Jackson’s dog.
Confirmed

Chance – Handled by Patrick Gavin at the Chicago Pull. Assuming Tim Cunningham’s dog as the right breed and Tim’s name was written in, then crossed out.

MEMBERSHIP ISSUES

Instead of just assuming memberships, I am carrying this as a reminder that we have some issues to resolve. If you are on this as a “membership not assumed”, besides not acquiring pull points, you are probably not getting the newsletter either

New Issues

Memberships Not Assumed

The following were marked as members on the organizer's report. Membership has no record and the individuals are assumed Provisional until confirmation. Their pulls will become valid if membership records their join date as on or before the pulls in question.

· Lisa Landers – Did not show as joining at the Derby Grill pull in Berthoud, CO (pull 69) and membership has no indication of joining. And, Mark Landers only joined as individual.
However, a follow-up from Sanctioning has it that Mark’s two dogs (Lukea & Boogie) were only entered by Lisa; but members handled the dogs.
Later, Mark upgraded to Family.

Memberships Assumed

The following individuals apparently joined at a pull (shows in the organizers financial report). Their membership was assumed with the date of the pull, but is still being watched until the membership chair has received the paperwork.

· Kevin & April Hybeck – apparently joined family at the Greeley pull on March 17^th.

· Rodney Martin -- apparently joined family at the Greeley pull on March 18^th.

· Scott Carter – Apparently joined individual on the second day of the Sutherlin pull, March 25^th. Scott has previously pulled provisional.

Resolved

Unassumed that were Confirmed as Members

· Tracy Brant-Cornell – She had joined in July as individual. Was put into the database as a new member; whereas she was previously in the Cornell membership with Ron. Her dog Brie was pointing to the old membership; so came up provisional. Moved the new entry back to the old membership, and move Ron to Provisional.

· Toni Beninger – Pulled provisional prior to the Leavenworth Pull. Had her in as Beniger, and didn’t catch the spelling change when she and Brian joined in December.

Dropped

Membership Not Confirmed

· Andy Gingery – handled Titi and Jackie for Daryl Spauldin at the National Western Dog Pull in Denver on 13 Jan. Andy was marked as a member, but membership has no record as of 8 Feb., and no indication on the financial report that he joined at the pull. Unfortunately, Titi’s effort (came in 1^st- would have been 9 points in R4 35#) will be marked as provisional.

· Phil Kanakis – Listed as a member at the Pack Forest Pull 17 February; but membership doesn’t show him rejoining, and the financial statement doesn’t show him joining. Same with the Port Clinton pull 3 March, and others.
Per Debi Pruznick, Phil told her he is not a member.
