See BREAKFAST, Page A10 Business picks up at Alpine Meadows By Rochelle Danielson For the Chieftain It’s fair to say that golfers who missed playing scotch ball last Friday night missed a “blue ribbon” opportunity. It was the perfect evening ... not super cool, but a pleasant time to be on the golf course. Six couples challenged one another for the lowest score, enjoyed each other’s compa- ny during a barbecue/potluck, and still had time to make it home to relax and enjoy the sight of a blue moon.

Impressing in the obedience competition was the sole student to reach the level of Graduate Novice, senior Whitney Evans, whose Australian Shepherd/Border Collie cross, Dixie, was able to sit and lay down calmly for one and three minutes respectively, from 40 feet away. July proved a busy month for Alpine Meadows. Curt Nebel, clubhouse manager, found himself constantly on the move from restaurant/ bar to taking greens fees and renting carts. “I love ‘busy’ and AMGC loves it too,” says Nebel, who is doing a great job in his transition from lumber to golf.

She learned to scald, peel and core tomatoes alongside her grandmother, Alita Mel- ville, and the two made that salsa from a carefully selected and tested recipe.
