The purpose of the rules change is to update the text of the previous rules for grammar and clarification of safety issues, to increase the use time for water skiers and to mitigate the impact of large, destructive wakes. The effect of the rules changes impact hours of use of the Lake, what can be used on the Lake and other policy changes. The main effect and change in this draft is the discontinuation of wakeboard and kneeboard devices on the Lake and the increase of use time for water skiing in the evening. This draft was discussed at the January, February and March monthly Board meetings. This published draft will also be discussed at the April 19, 2008 monthly Board meeting at the PML Lake Lodge. The meeting starts at 9 a.m. and all members are welcome to attend.

The median price of an existing, single- family detached home in California during January 2008 was $430,370, a 21.9 per- cent decrease from the $551,220 median for January 2007, C.A.R. reported. The January 2008 median price fell 9.7 per- cent compared with December’s revised $476,380 median price. “The slight increase in sales predates the president’s signing of an economic stimulus package including a temporary increase in the conforming loan limit, but that much needed reform could give the market some momentum,” said C.A.R. Vice President and Chief Economist Leslie Appleton-Young. “Let’s hope congress and the president see fit to make the higher loan limit permanent.” Highlights of C.A.R.’s resale housing figures for January 2008: C.A.R.’s Unsold Inventory Index for existing, single-family detached homes in January 2008 was 16.8 months, compared with 7.6 months for the same period a year ago. The index indicates the number of months needed to deplete the supply of homes on the market at the current sales rate.

Born in Montana, raised on a cattle ranch in California, Dave Stamey’s been bucked off and stomped on by horses, stepped on by mules and dragged around branding pens by angry cattle.

Dave’s show is a celebration of shared heritage, an appreciation of the West, as both a place and a state of mind. Named the 2007 Academy of Western Artist’s Male Vocalist of the Year, and Songwriter of the year, Dave has released two new CD’s this year as well. “It’s Just a State of Mind”, a live recording, and “ Old Friends”, a collection of vintage western music.
