Lake Arrowhead Chapel
Pastoral Transition by Larry Paz
The community welcomes Lee and Shannon Powell, our newest residents, to our community. Lee will assume the duties
of Senior Pastor at the Lake Arrowhead Chapel in April.
If you will permit me a personal note, it is with sincere gratitude we acknowledge the efforts of Pastor Jerry Johnson
who during his tenure as Senior Pastor of the chapel fostered a strong sense of community spirit. His wise counsel was well
intentioned and on target.
Pastor Johnson Retires From Chapel by Jerry Snyder
According to Chapel Immediate past Chairman of the
Board, Todd Tyler, “An unconditional love for Christ and his
fellow man pretty much sums up Dr. Jerry Johnson.” After
serving as Pastor of the Lake Arrowhead Chapel since 2003,
Jerry and Lauree Johnson are retreating to Gilmer County.
Jerry is not retiring completely as he retains his full time
position as Chaplain of Georgia Mountains Hospice and most
recently became the “interim” Executive Director of this great
organization located in Jasper. Nothing like retiring from one
position and then doubling your responsibilities in another.
He, like the many families he serves, is convinced that Hos-
pice provides positive spiritual experiences for the dying.
While his retirement was formally effective the end of
2010, Jerry stayed on through February 6th and will be serv-
ing from time to time until new full time Pastor Lee Powell
begins in April. Actually Dr. Johnson worked a little over-
time on Feb. 6th as he stayed after services to join this writer
and his bride, Laura, in wedlock.
To further quote Todd Tyler, who was succeeded by new ministered to patients at Milledgeville Central State Hospi-

LA Chapel Names Full Time Pastor
Powells Moving From Budapest
by Jerry Snyder
April 10th begins a new era for the Lake Arrowhead Cha-
pel as Lee Powell preaches his first sermon to the members
of his congregation. With the retirement of Part Time Pastor
Jerry Johnson, the 113 member church community decided
to pursue the first full time pastor in its’ thirty plus year exis-
tence.
The search committee, made up of Roger Jenkins, Mike
Miller, Paul Reidinger, Shona Roberts, Teri Sommer and
Todd Tyler, reviewed over 100 resumes in the search process
before Pastor Powell was invited to visit, meet and preach
to the membership on December 5th, 2010. In his first meet
and greet week and discovery tour of our community, Lee
got to ride on the fire truck with Santa and enjoy our annual
Christmas parade sponsored by the Chapel and the LAVFD.
The week after that successful visit, the congregation voted
unanimously to issue a call to pastor the flock and Lee Powell
and his family accepted.
Sounds pretty simple doesn’t it? With Lee and Shannon

The Hidden Values of the Short Game by Dick Laing, Teaching Professional
The short game is just about any shot that does not require a full swing. You know the ones:
• the chip shot 15 to 20 feet off the green,
• the green side bunker shot, and
• the 20 to 30 yard pitch shots that you need to hit nice and high over water or a bunker or
thick rough.
They are the ones you’re not quite sure how hard to hit. As a result, you often mis-judge, flub, chunk, or skull shots
that can cost you 6 or 8 shots per rounds, maybe more.
The obvious benefit of improving your short game is saving those strokes. To do this, the first step is understanding
the necessary parts of a good short game: good grip, correct ball and hand positions, and proper stance. But tempo is the
key! The right tempo, coupled with the other fundamentals, will produce more solidly struck shots, consistently getting
your ball on the green with the first shot.
But there is also a not so obvious, hidden value to improving your short game. Imagine you’re 130 to 180 yards
from the green. How much easier is this shot going to be, knowing that if you don’t hit it perfectly, you can still get it
up and down with your short game? Even bunkers become less scary! This hidden value can also reduce the pressure
to hit your tee shot in the fairway or closer to the green.
So if you really want to improve your whole game, remember that the short game is the key!

Pickleball Comes to Lake Arrowhead by Bill Hess
Imagine playing a game named after someone’s dog. Welcome to Pickleball.
Pickleball is a combination of tennis, ping pong, and badminton played on a hard surface the size of a badminton
court with a baseball sized wiffle ball and oversized ping pong paddle. The game was the idea of a father looking for a
something to keep his children busy during their summer vacation.
Last spring several Lake Arrowhead residents started playing Pickleball by chalking off a Pickleball court on one
of the tennis courts at our tennis facility. They then invited others to join and the group of four quickly become over 25
players.
Pickleball has become a very popular game nationally with active seniors. It is a great game for someone who is
looking for something that is not as strenuous as tennis and easier to become proficient enough to enjoy playing. De-
velopments such as The Villages in Florida have over 100 Pickleball courts with more being planned.
Here at Lake Arrowhead a group plays every Sunday afternoon at the Red Cloud Tennis Facility. If you are inter-
ested in learning more about the game feel free to come and join them. Make sure you have your tennis shoes on because
there is always an extra paddle so you can get out on the court and see what it is all about.
For information please contact Bill & Carole Hess • 3779@hotmail.com or
Don & Merri Wehe • the.wehes@gmail.com
Tom Heppel, John Chastain, Merri Wehe and Bill Marshal play on Sunday evening on court 1 while,
Bill Newman, Hector Rivera and others play on court 2 watched by Julia Marshall, Pat Whiting,
Carolyn Neuman, and Lana Chadwick waiting their turn to get onto the courts.
Mary Jean and Lee Dunn, Evelyn Lakos, and Dolores Bennett along with others

with ‘You Got It’. Then, one after another, people came to the microphone. The singers
were all great and some were outstanding. Erin Wilson gave a great version of ‘Over the

Winter Fun for Lake Arrowhead Women by Jennifer Hatcher
Have you joined the Women’s Activity Club? If not you are missing some good times that warm the chilly winter months.
The longstanding tradition, Game Day, was held in February at the home of Diane Scheu. Members enjoyed two tables of Bridge,
one table of Mexican Train Dominos and a huge, raucous table of Scattegories. Wonderful food added to the event. Diane served
a delicious Brunswick Stew and Cornbread Muffins followed by brownies, cupcakes and cookies.
Three fun events will follow the March fashion show. The April 13 event will be a Wine and Dessert Party hosted by Nell
Miller, Barbara Barnes and Carolyn Neuman. On May11 we will travel to The Swan House for lunch and a tour, and if time al-
lows, a stop by the Atlanta History Center. On June 8 we will close the program year with the annual Pontoon Party. It is always
a beautiful day on the lake filled with swimming, lunching on the boats and sharing plans for summer in our beautiful lake com-
munity.

were complimented by all. Chicken Picatta with Lemon Caper
Sauce seemed to be the favorite but the other two, Grilled Turkey
Wrap and Spinach Salad got good reviews as well. Raspberry
Sorbet with Fresh Mint and Sugar Cookie was the perfect sweet
treat to end the meal.
During the meal Shane Newton, LAYCC General Manager,
warmly welcomed the WAC guests and shared some of the up-
coming events to look forward to in the restaurant and on the golf
course. Shane and his staff made every effort to keep the group
dry and happy, including standing watch at the door with umbrel-
las to escort guests from the parking lot. All of the staff should Sara Forthun
be commended for the courteous effort provided to keep the rain

In keeping with the Feeling Good and Looking Good theme,
Sara and Jennifer led guests through some nutrition and fitness
related activities. Lovely fashions are nice but our members al-
ways look good when they feel good.
The program was closed with drawings for door prizes from
the Highlands Grill restaurant and Belk. The lucky winners will
be returning to the restaurant and Belk soon to use their gift cer-
tificates, but those who didn’t win will be making reservations to
enjoy the food and ambience of the Highlands Grill and travel-

chef, Dan Banister,
and his crew, outdid
themselves as they served a delicious luncheon to all. More
than 80 ladies and gentlemen gathered at the Highlands Grill
for a time of fellowship and food that certainly got us into the
spirit of a Valentine celebration. Our guest speaker, Trudy
Cathy White, shared a message of inspirational stories about
Chick-fil-A, her family and her life. Trudy’s mother, Jeanette,
a daughter, Angela, and another friend, Mallory, accompanied
her. It was a special treat to have these members of her family
join us. She brought everyone gifts of free Chick-fil-A meal
tickets and “eat mor chikin” cow dolls.
With the help of many people who assisted with publicity,
our community was well informed about this unique event.
Dotty Bonds and Kelly Rich, members of the LAYCC staff,

sure that non-residents were informed about Lake Arrowhead.

Learn to Play Mah Jongg or Mah Jong
By Ellen Reagan
As several people have ex-
pressed a desire to learn how to
play Mah Jongg, we are offering
an opportunity at the club house
on the second and fourth Thurs-
days in April and May (April 14
and 28, May 12 and 26). You
must call (770-345-8944, 770-
713-2332, or 770-714-1032 –
Roy Rice and Ellen Reagan) to
reserve a spot or we will not be
there. We will have the required
number of sets to use depending on response.
Our group plays on Fridays from 10 AM-2 PM. We enjoy buying lunch
which usually includes a tasty special of the day . Our Friday group is for ex-
perienced players only. Although a number of variations of Mah Jongg exist,
we play by Wright Patterson rules.
Mah Jongg is an ancient game similar to rummy played with oriental style
tiles using sets and/or sequences (runs) of the same suit which has been adapt-
ed in various ways in countries around the world. According to Wikipedia,
a free encyclopedia, Mahjong (Chinese; pinyin) is a game that originated in
China, commonly played by four players (with some three-player variations
found in Korea and Japan). The four player table version should not be confused with the popular western single player (tile
matching) computer game (Mahjong solitaire) which is a recent invention and completely different from the table game.
Mahjong is a game of skill, strategy and calculation and involves a certain degree of chance. In Asia, mahjong is also popu-
larly played as a gambling game (though it may just as easily be played recreationally). Note: we simply have a dollar pool
and the winner of the day takes the pot.
If you have any questions, you may call or email Ellen Reagan - 770-345-8944, 770-714-1032 or ereagan@yahoo.com
Sewrifics Make Quilts for Wounded Soldiers
By Sheri Torch
The Sewrifics of Cherokee, a neighborhood group of The American Sewing Guild, recently made quilts for wounded
soldiers who are conveyed from Iraq and Afghanistan. The
quilts are 4 feet by 6 ½ feet, large enough to cover the gurneys
and stretchers, when the wounded are transported onto con-
verted cargo planes with little or no heat. The quilts are also
used in the Intensive Care Units, over the thin military blan-
kets, providing warmth and brightening the hospital rooms.
The Sewrifics of Cherokee are sewers of many items, not
just quilts. They are involved in numerous charity sewing proj-
ects for the community, as well as sewing for themselves and
family members.

How Do You Fool A Fool?
Hey Ray,
Seems like it would be foolish to try to fool someone on April Fools’ Day wouldn’t it? We all know it is the day for
pranks and we won’t fall for any of that nonsense. Ole Billy Bob has had some of the best over the years and it got me won-
derin about some of the best ever April Fool pranks. His cake tree took the cake, but these were great.
The Swiss spaghetti harvest was blasted over the BBC news show “Panorama” as a great victory due to the very mild
winter and the virtual elimination of the dreaded spaghetti weevil. It showed Swiss peasants pulling strands of spaghetti
down from the spaghetti trees. People everywhere wanted to know how to grow their own spaghetti trees and the BBC re-
sponded with “place a sprig of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best”.
In 1962 there was only one tv station in Sweden and it was in black and white. The stations technology expert appeared
on the news to announce that everyone could convert their set to color by pulling a nylon stocking over it. He went on to
demonstrate on a tv at the station and sure enough…color tv appeared. People everywhere were taken in as the station con-
verted to color on April 1.
Taco Bell shook up the nation in 1996 when it announced it had bought the Liberty Bell and was changing the name to
the Taco Liberty Bell. People went ballistic and stormed the Park in Philadelphia. Then Press Secretary Mike McCurry was
asked about it at a White House press conference and he added that the Lincoln Memorial was also sold and would be known
as the Ford Lincoln Mercury Memorial. They name stadiums for big bucks. Maybe we could cut the deficit with a little
marketing imagination.
NPR shook things up in 1992 with the announcement that Nixon was going to re-run for President and use the slogan , ”I
didn’t do anything wrong, and I won’t do it again”. They even had comedian Rich Little do a speech by Nixon making the
announcement. Listeners lit up the phone lines in protest. It wasn’t until the second half of the show that they said it was a
hoax.
Burger King had us bite big time with the announcement
through a full page in “USA Today” that it had added a new New Homes, Basement Finishes,
item to its’ menu in the form of a Left-handed Whopper. It Screened Porches, & Remodels
was especially designed for the 32 million lefties in America.
It was essentially the same as the original except the condi-
ments were all rotated 180 degrees. Many people went in to
try it, but others protested that they wanted their own right-
handed version.
My cookie tree is in full bloom by the way, but for some
reason my chocolate chip bushes aren’t producing. Got any
ideas?
