8 SEPTEMBER PML NEWSADMINISTRATIONGENERAL MANAGER’S MESSAGEJOE POWELL – PCAM, CCAM-LS, CMCA, AMS GENERAL MANAGER2025 ANNUAL MEETING OF THE MEMBERSHIP - BOARD OF DIRECTORS OFFICIAL ELECTION RESULTSOn April 14, 2025, the Association gave notice to the members regarding the upcoming election, including the number of board positions to be filled, the deadline for submitting nominations, and the manner in which nominations could be submitted, including a reminder regarding the nomination deadline on May 22, 2025.As of the deadline for nomination of director candidates, the number of qualified candidates was not more than the number of vacancies to be elected.The Board of Directors made a determination and subsequently adopted a resolution after review by Association General Counsel, that sending out ballots for an election of directors under these circumstances would be expensive, time-consuming, and would not make the outcome of the election more certain than seating directors by acclamation.As a result, that the following candidates were seated by acclamation pursuant to Civil Code § 5103(e): Mike Gustafson, Dania Schaffer.SELECTION OF BOARD OFFICERS FOR THE COMING YEARThe Board of Directors voted and selected the following officer positions:President – Mike Gustafson Vice President – Chuck Obeso-BradleySecretary – Dania SchafferTreasurer – Craig ProuseDirector – Brian WatsonCongratulations to our new Board of Directors!We would like to wish our out-going director, Karen Hopkins all the best. PML MEMBER SURVEY UPDATEOn July 1st we launched the PML member satisfaction survey. Every three years, the Long Range Planning Committee prepares a survey of the membership to gauge overall satisfaction with our Association, specifically, the level of quality and service at our amenities, governance and enforcement. In recent past surveys members have been pleased with the level of service that we provide for their assessment dollars. This survey will be used by the PMLA Board of Directors and management to determine where to focus our efforts and to assess how well we are doing in meeting your expectations. So far, 408 members have responded. Our goal is to get at least a thousand. To that end, we sent out a postcard mailing with information and a QR code to all members encouraging them to take the survey. So if you haven’t done so, please complete the survey. All members who complete the survey will be entered into a drawing for one of three PML gift cards, $25, $50 and $100.THE PML 2026 BUDGET DEVELOPMENT PROCESSThe PML 2026 Budget development process is in full swing. Our Controller Dan sent out the budget preparation schedule out to all department managers, board of directors and budget and finance committee members. The Budget process takes months of work and a lot of hours and culminates in the final approval at the annual budget meeting in October. This year the meeting will be held on Saturday, October 18th here at the Lake Lodge and will start at 9 am. We encourage all members to attend as each department manager will be covering the details of their individual budgets with the board.GCSD WORK ON MUELLER DRIVE AND FERRETTI ROADIn the past, GCSD worked out an agreement with PML to place their portable water treatment plant in our Maintenance yard due to the close proximity of the lake water irrigation line near the 9th green of the golf course. Our lake water is used to provide an alternative water source for GCSD and our community when Hetch Hetchy shuts down their water source tunnels in the winter months for maintenance, repair and replacement. GCSD has decided to install a more permanent water line that connects to their own operations yard. They have hired an outside contractor to complete this work. This has impacted Mueller Drive and Ferretti Road. According to GCSD, there will continue to be temporary traffic delays and one-lane traffic control from time-to-time until sometime in October. PML ROADS REFURBISHMENT PROJECTOur roads refurbishment project is scheduled to start on September 8th until September 15th. We have provided the schedule with the list of impacted areas in PML on social media and the ocial website. We will also use our normal communication methods to get the word out to members in aected areas. ere may be adjustments to the schedule depending on operational needs and project constraints. We will communicate these changes as soon as possible. e road linestriping work will be completed after they nish the roads refurbishment project.Until next month, wishing everyone a fun and safe Labor Day weekend!

SEPTEMBER PML NEWS 9ADMINISTRATIONADMINISTRATIONPRESIDENT'S MESSAGEMIKE GUSTAFSON – PMLA BOARD PRESIDENTDIRECTOR’S CORNERKAREN HOPKINS – FORMER BOARD DIRECTORI am writing this note to you in August and that means your association is in full budget mode, working on the 2026 budget. Each department is looking how best to continue to provide excellent member service while keeping the assessment related expense down. It’s a very dicult trade-o! Each year members want a bit more of this or that, but resist any increase in dues. We all wish we could do it all for no increase in dues, but that is not realistic. e old hands who have been living here for years know the drill, but the new homeowners are all excited about their new house in the hills and wonder why they can’t have this or that for “free.” For sure, it is a learning experience. Your Board of Directors will be meeting with each amenity manager and looking for ways to minimize your hard earned dues. e rst step that you will see is at the September board meeting when we will be reviewing and approving the Amenity Fee schedule. e nal budget is wrangled at the October meeting. Both meetings are open to all members. The 2025 member satisfaction survey runs until the end of September, and I really implore you to take the survey. e Board will soon start getting the results which will inform the board on what you, the homeowners, feel are your most important priorities. Please take the survey and let us know your opinions. Every once in a while, our beloved state legislators put through a really poorly thought-out new law that has devastating unintended effects on all homeowner associations. e new AB 130 is one such new law. e short version is this bill limits the amount of any nes levied by the HOA to $100 max! is means that if your neighbor wants to open an auto repair business next door to you, in violation of the CC&R’s, they just pay the violation ne of $100 and they are good to go! Same thing with all kinds of egregious violations that negatively aect neighbors and the community. Normally the HOA has a lengthy process for dealing with scoaws, rst a Courtesy Notice, then a warning letter, then nes starting piling up, etc. 90% of the time the oending party comes to their senses and complies with the rules and everyone is content again.We certainly hope the rule gets rescinded or modified soon. However, currently, with AB 130 in force, the violator is sent a Warning letter, then is ned $100, and if no corrective action is noted then the HOA has to le a lawsuit against the oending party to force compliance. is will result in the oender having to retain a lawyer, and the association will have to spend money with our lawyer, and then ght our way through the legal system. More of your hard earned dues will be wasted on lawyers. We will be forced to budget more money for these silly lawsuits.I want to welcome Dani Schaer to the Board. She is extremely qualified, both by experience and education, and I look forward to working with her. At the same time, we reluctantly say goodbye to Board member Karen Hopkins who has done an exemplary job as a board member for the last six years. Karen’s contributions have been strategic and carefully considered. We’ll miss her wise counsel. Please get involved in your Association! Take the survey and attend the budget meetings.By now you all know that I am no longer on the Board of Directors. Per our Bylaws I “termed” out after my two successive three year terms.It has been my honor to serve on the PMLA Board of Directors. I did my best to represent our membership fairly and made decisions for the association in the best interest of the members. Most days it was a great way to volunteer my professional experience and interest in the community. Of course there were dicult times as well: two recall elections (neither successful) and a fair amount of social media hazing by a few disgruntled members. Of course, everyone doesn’t always agree, but with open communication, respect and courtesy I believe we can do what’s right for PML.I would like to thank all of my Board colleagues for their encouragement, especially as I came up to speed on the complicated nature of the business of our association. Without them, it would not have been easy. I also thank Joe Powell (GM) and many other sta members for their assistance. And most importantly I thank the members for their faith and support.I am looking forward to a little more free time, however, I will continue to serve on at least one committee and express my opinion on vital PML issues.ank you for the opportunity to serve our HOA and make PML better for all.

Helps to develop a positive sense of responsibility.• Support Emotional Wellbeing: o Ask open-ended questions about their day and listen actively. People like to ask questions and be asked questions. is is a win for everyone.• Limit Screen Time:o Especially before bed – this helps with sleep and focus during a busy school day.• Stay Positive:o A new school year is a fresh start. Embrace challenges as opportunities to grow. Remain patient, the summer always comes back around each year.• Stay Involved:o Attend school events, check in on homework and communicate with teachers. e more information you have, the better o you become.ank you for spending a few moments enjoying our magazine.

SEPTEMBER PML NEWS 11ADMINISTRATIONPMLA MONEY MATTER$DAN SZATHMARY, ASSOCIATION CONTROLLERThat time has come around once more, time to dive into the budget.If you’ve been keeping up with PML News, you might remember that around this time last year, I laid out how the budgeting process works. It’s a thorough one, involving department managers, the Budget and Finance Committee, and a detailed, line-by-line review by each Board Member.And the nal step? A public meeting where everything is brought together, concerns are raised, adjustments are made, and nal decisions are shaped by member feedback.Like many major topics in our community, the annual budget can stir debate. After all, we’re managing funds on behalf of more than 8,000 members across over 3,000 properties. It’s no small task, a balancing act with multiple levels of review and a core goal: guring out what serves the greatest number of members, as fairly as possible. We understand that it’s impossible to satisfy everyone all the time. But we aim to reect the wishes of most people, most of the time.e only way we can do that? Hearing from you before the budget is nalized. Once it’s set, we’ll still listen, but it becomes much harder to act on new feedback until the next cycle. And ideally, we’d love to hear from more members across the board, not just the most vocal ones. Broader input leads to better outcomes.As we go through this process, we’re evaluating amenity fees, reserve contributions, projected revenues, and ultimately, how much assessment income is necessary to keep the association running smoothly for the next year. No one’s excited about higher HOA fees, but most members enjoy the services those fees support.ere’s always a balance to strike between amenity fees and assessments. Want to reduce funding more aggressively, which is smart for long-term planning, but also contributes to increased assessments. ere is no one size ts all solution. It’s all about preference, consensus, and the balancing act of priorities when this many trade-os are considered together. e more perspectives we gather from members, the more informed and representative our decisions can be.What are your thoughts? We would love to hear from you as we go through planning for 2026 together. Feel free to contact me anytime. Controller@PineMountainLake.Com or 209-962-8606.or eliminate amenity access fees? It’s possible, but the funding has to come from somewhere. Every dollar not collected at a gate or counter increases the pressure on assessments. At the end of the day, whether it’s collected as a fee or an assessment, in many cases it’s all member money one way or another. Many members agree that the best source of extra funding isn’t out of members’ pockets, but from visitors. People who enjoy our community but don’t own property here. is is where the zero-sum dynamic can shift. Revenue from outside sources; things like merchandise, service fees, and rentals, can help pay for maintenance and improvements without additional burden on owners.However, there is a trade-off there as well. More visitors can mean longer lines, more crowded amenities, and the few bad apples that don’t know how to behave when they visit here, will inevitably increase with more visitors spending more time here. We’ve also heard plenty of interest in big-ticket projects. Things like a new pool and fitness center, expanding marina facilities, and upgrading the campground area. These ideas are absolutely possible. e funds are here. What we need is clear guidance on priorities and alignment on where those funds should come from.en there’s the question of reserves. Some members want to boost our reserve

14 SEPTEMBER PML NEWSStar light, star bright, please turn o your lights tonight! A lot of times when coming up to your home on the hill, after a relaxing weekend, you forget to do some things before you leave, like turning the lights o. Not only will it save on your electric bill, but your neighbors will get to enjoy the pretty night sky we all love. One of the issues we deal with here in the Community Standards Department are bright exterior lights. Lights are not always a bad thing, we understand some of you have the outside motion lights, they come on when wildlife walks by, and then they go off after a certain amount of time. We appreciate that! There are some that are not motion, some that have porch lights that shine right into the neighbor’s windows, or shine bright across property lines. If this sounds like your home, please remember that we do have some full-time residents here at PML, some that even love star gazing, and those lights can be bothersome. Please turn off your lights before you head back home. e right light, in the right place, for the right time. If you need a light outside your home for when you arrive in the dark, maybe consider those motion lights that turn o after a few minutes. is creates an immediate simple solution for reducing light pollution, by turning o unnecessary lights when they are not needed. Limiting the length of time lights stay on can be readily achieved through technologies such as timers and motion sensors. Other solutions are to install shields or angle the light to illuminate only the necessary areas and limit light pollution. Using a shield, sensors, and timers would vastly reduce the negative impacts of articial light and help to protect nature’s night shift. If you have any questions about lighting, or maybe you are not sure if your light fixture is compliant, please feel free to reach out to our office, we will gladly assist you. You can also log on to the Pine Mountain Lake website.

SEPTEMBER PML NEWS 15We are very pleased to recognize our long time PML News publishing editor and social media administrator, David Wilkinson of Sabre Design and Publishing. David has served as our PML News Publishing Editor for 20 years. We appreciate David and his wife Christina and the exemplary service that they have provided to our Association. We asked David to provide the following history of Sabre Design and Publishing as it is a very interesting story and they have earned a long list of experience and achievements.“Sabre Design & Publishing was first established in early 1991 in the San Francisco Bay Area with our very rst project of creating the logo for Oz Audio. We continued working in the Bay Area until we moved the company to Henderson, Nevada in December of 1993. Sabre Design grew quickly in Henderson adding the Tonopah Historic Mining Park, Grand Canyon Marketing, Poolside Pineapple (for whom we created custom designed glassware and souvenir cups), and many others to our client list. In 1996 we became the design rm of record for Siegfried & Roy at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas whom we continued to work for up until Roy Horn’s death. Other notable clients were David Cassidy of Partridge Family fame, Desi Arnaz Jr., the Clark County Museum, Nassiri Music, EFX at the MGM, Fisher Space Pens, the EAT’M Music Festival, e Mirage Hotel and Casino, and BOI Inc. An exciting project during this time was the design of e Rat Pack is Back logo for the stage show created by David Cassidy and still running with the logo still being used on the show in Las Vegas right now. Sabre Design also was the designer of the LVMPD K9 Trials program for over 10 years. During the time in the Las Vegas area Sabre designed the logo for KidsCharities.orgwhich was recognized by Graphic Design USA as one of the top 10% logo designs in America in 2000.One of the most exciting projects to work on was creating the logo and commemorative poster for the 40th Anniversary of Humans in Space. Sabre created the mission patch, souvenir pins, and custom artwork working directly with NASA, the Nevada Air & Space ADMINISTRATIONPML NEWS EDITOR REACHES20-YEAR MILESTONEJOE POWELL – PML GENERAL MANAGEREducation Center, Fisher Space Pens, along with multiple astronauts and cosmonauts. Patches of the design were placed on the Space Shuttle and brought back to Earth to be given as commemorative “space traveled” patches to dignitaries.Sabre Design moved to Groveland in 2004. In 2005 we became sponsors and designers for the annual 49er Festival & Chili Cook-o through 2024 and began as the publishing Editors of the Pine Mountain Lake News.

While here in Groveland, Sabre has continued to work for the PMLA handling social media, design, the eSNAP program, menu designs for e Grill and Lakeside Café, design of the PML Maps and any graphic design projects that come up. Sabre Design created the t-shirts for the Where the Hell is Groveland? Car Show for over 10 years until it ended.

Sabre alsofounded and publishes AVOW Magazine (for women veterans) andWomen Veterans Magazine for multiple states, as well as brand design for the television show “Opportunity Knocks” from the producer of Master Chef. A very exciting project was working with Nancy Cartwright, better known as the voice of Bart Simpson, on many projects.Sabre Design also founded, in 2010, the ITSA Film Festival running for 8 years and the Back to Nature Film Festival running for 4 years.They have continued to work here in Groveland with local clients: Around the Horn, Trail Less Traveled Bike Store, e Grove Mercantile, PML Auto Parts, Yosemite Adventure Supplies, PML Realty, Top of the Trail, Iron Door Saloon, Camp Tuolumne Trails, Groveland Trailheads (Groveland Grind), Sonora Area Foundation, Flying Tigers Historical Organization, Black Oak Casino, Tuolumne County Business Council, multiple charities, and Tuolumne County Visitor’s Bureau.Sabre Design was named for our last name, “Wilkinson” playing on the history of the Wilkinson Sword Company based in England.

Sometimes, though, rental properties may have a few bumps — maybe a late-night noise issue, cars parked where they shouldn’t be, or some trash left outside. Sometimes it’s as simple as you don’t know if what you’re dealing with is a problem, and just want to make sure everyone’s being held to the same standard. If you see something that doesn’t seem right at a rental property, call me! Please let me know so we can take care of it as soon as possible. As your Rental Compliance Coordinator, I’m here to support and enforce the rules and regulations that keeps our community safe, comfortable and enjoyable for everyone. We have a Short-Term Rental Hotline available to call any time of day or night at 1-209-231-4543.

You can reach me personally from 8am to 4:30pm, Monday through Friday, at 1-209-962-1245 or email me at RCC@Pinemountainlake.com.

If I’m not at my desk that moment, or it’s outside of those hours, please do leave me a message! I will get back to you as soon as I’m back in the oce to help get things taken care of. ank you for looking out for each other and for helping Pine Mountain Lake keep that peaceful, beautiful, friendly place that we all came to love.

SEPTEMBER PML NEWS 25HOW ARE YOU TRACKING INSPECTION DATA?e Regional WID (Watercraft Inspection Database) app is a centralized system designed to capture your CF number and trailer license plate number, allowing authorized personnel to look up your vessel’s information. Note that no personal information will be shared through this system.DO ANY OTHER LAKES USE THE WID APP?Yes. If a nearby lake or reservoir is using the same platform, your vessel’s banding information will be accessible, which means that if your vessel has been issued a 30-day quarantine band, it is likely that the banding will be honored at other participating locations, as long as it is recorded in the system.HOW DOES THE WATERCRAFT INSPECTION SEAL SYSTEM WORK?e vessel will need to arrive at the Marina inspection site cleaned, drained, and dry. Please ensure this is done prior to arrival. Once a vessel is inspected, it will receive a green or red seal. e seal is placed through the hull and connects to the trailer.WHAT DO THE DIFFERENT COLOR SEALS MEAN?ere will be two types of seals used:• Green seal: indicates the boat has passed inspection. e benet of the green band is that it provides faster re-entry to PML lake.• Red seal: indicates the boat has not passed inspection and needs to be quarantined.DO THE PROPERTY OWNERS HAVE TO PAY FOR EACH SEAL?No, there is no expense passed on to the property owner for this process at this time.CAN I LAUNCH MY VESSEL AT ANOTHER LOCATION DURING THE QUARANTINE PERIOD?No. e vessel must remain quarantined and cannot launch in any other water bodies during the quarantine period unless it undergoes a decontamination procedure and receives clearance.WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER BEACHES? WHO WILL INSPECT NON-MOTORIZED VESSELS?During the season, each PML beach (e.g., Marina, Dunn Ct, and Lake Lodge) will have an inspector dedicated to inspecting non-motorized vessels. No appointment needed. You just walk up to the inspector, who will be wearing a bright yellow vest, and they will assist you.WHAT SHOULD I DO IF MY VESSEL IS FOUND TO BE CONTAINING AN INVASIVE SPECIES?If invasive species are found during the inspection, the vessel owner will be given instructions on how to proceed with the decontamination process. You will also need to report the nding to California Department of Fish & Wildlife ➔ go here for details https://wildlife.ca.gov/Conservation/Invasives/Species/Golden-Mussel of how to report.For more information, please contact the Recreation Manager at 1 (209) 962-8604.ADMINISTRATIONGOLDEN MUSSEL FAQs Continued

SEPTEMBER PML NEWS 29ADMINISTRATIONWHO PAYS FOR THAT?SUZETTE LAFFRANCHI – COMMUNITY STANDARDS DIRECTORWhen you place your personal household trash, garbage, debris, dog waste, etc. in someone else garbage container, bear box, or dumpster, this is considered an illegal dumping and a noxious activity. Illegal Dumping is considered theft of garbage service. is includes both private property receptacles and our common area dumpsters. The dumpsters at PMLA amenities, such as the Marina, Campground, Lake Lodge or Dunn Court are not public solid waste collection areas, nor is your neighbor’s bear box considered public. Theft of garbage service or illegal dumping,occurs when someone disposes of their trash in another person’s or business’s dumpster or garbage container without permission.This is a form of theft because the person is essentially stealing the service of waste disposal that the property owner or business has paid for.It’s illegal and considered a violation of our governing documents that can result in fines or other penalties.PMLA, CC&R, Article VIII, Section 4 Prohibition of Noxious Activities: No illegal, noxious or oensive activities shall be carried out or conducted upon any lot or the Common area nor shall anything be done within the Properties which is or could become unreasonable annoyance or nuisance to neighboring property owners. Resolution 87.08- Litter in PML: Any person apprehended for littering of PMLA Common grounds or utilizing Association dumpsters for personal daily garbage shall upon due process of our Covenants Committee be fined as per current fee schedule.Tuolumne County Ordinance code 7.30.020: Illegal and unauthorized dumping. Causes or permits the deposit of solid waste on the right-of-way of any public highway, street, easement or thoroughfare, or upon any camping place or public grounds, or on any premises, or in any waste container, without the permission of the owner thereof. It isnot acceptableto use someone else’s bear box, garbage cans or dumpster for your trash without their permission.Here’s why:• eft of services: Most people pay for their own trash collection, and using someone else’s bin could be seen as illegally benefiting from their paid service.• Inconsiderate behavior: Leaving your garbage in someone else’s bear box, disposal cans, or dumpster can be messy, smelly, and inconvenient for the owner. Imagine nding someone else’s smelly or sticky garbage in your bear box and having to deal with it.• Hygiene and cleanliness: Some people make an eort to keep their bear box, receptacles, and dumpsters clean to minimize odors and pests. Your trash could disrupt their eorts.• Capacity limits:Bear boxes, cans, and receptacles are designed for a certain amount of trash. Adding your garbage might cause it to overflow before the next pickup, attracting wildlife or creating an eyesore.Please inform your friends, guests, or tenants of how and where to properly dispose their household garbage so they do not create an illegal dumping issue or conict with the neighboring properties. If you have any questions regarding trash service or you are in need of special pick up, summer service or need new service for your PML residence, contact Moore Brothers Scavenger Company at 1 (209) 962-7224 or visit their web page at https://www.moorebrosscavenger.com/ for more information or options that will work for you and your guest.You will also nd some great resources and helpful tips by visiting our web site at https://www.pinemountainlake.com/community-standards/ or scan the QR code for easy on the go access to view our Guest & Renters Handbook, a great resource for renters and guests to learn about the PML community standards.As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me at 1 (209) 962-1241 or communitystandards@pinemountainlake.com.

We feel that along with the PML Maintenance Staff you deserve credit for the course conditions also. Keep up the great work!MEN’S PURPLE/GREEN COMBO TEE CHANGESBeginning on July 1, 2025 the following changes will go into eect for the Men’s Purple/Green Combo Tees:➢ Hole #6 will change from a Purple Tee to a Green Tee.➢ Hole #10 will change from a Purple Tee to a Green Tee.➢ Hole #11 will change from a Green Tee to a Purple Tee.Reasons for the changes:1) The men’s and women’s Purple/Green Combo tees have been the same but the women’s par on #6 & #10 is 5 and the men’s par is 4. Moving the men’s tees to the Green Tee on these two holes is warranted due to the dierence in par and the length of the holes.2) Playing hole #11 from the Green Tee made it necessary to adjust the handicap holes on the back nine due to the 168 -yard shorter distance dierence from the Gold Tee. By moving back to the Purple Tee it makes it so we can keep the handicap holes the same for all the tees.3) Our new scorecards reect these changes and the new scorecards have rounded corners so we can easily recognize the new scorecards.If you have any questions, please call the Golf Shop.DRIVING RANGEAs of September 1, the Driving Range will be open from 7:00am until 5:00pm (Last Ball Hit at 5:00pm).

SEPTEMBER PML NEWS 31It is extremely dicult to irrigate seventy acres of turf when you have thirty-degree swings in temperatures day and night or even 20–30-degree swings in our daytime highs. Adding to the diculty are the shorter days, with an hour of daylight lost since the summer solstice. Most of our irrigation focus through the heat of summer has been to the greens, tees and fairways along with the fairway adjacent rough. Taking time to keep these areas green and playable is always our highest priority. In my opinion the course at the end of August was as playable and aesthetically pleasing as I have ever seen it in my many years at PML. is is a testament to my sta and our management practices and programs that have been put in place over the past several years. We still have 60-70 days of nightly irrigation left this season. With the days getting shorter and the nights getting cooler and as the season progresses our water needs will subside slowly into fall. I am predicting we will use an additional 4-5 inches of water from the lake for a total of 10-12 used this season. is will keep us well below historical averages and below our self-enforced restrictions. We have worked closely with Groveland Community Services District throughout the season utilizing as much reclaimed water to irrigate with as possible within their capability. is is a major contributing factor to our reduced lake use.Evaporation is the largest factor aecting lake levels and always will be. Evaporation rates change constantly with the temperature, amount of sunlight per day, wind and lake use. e warm months of July and August can often see a loss average of 0.25 inches per day, and as of mid-August we are just under 2 feet below spill.Keep in mind when you play the course early you may nd a few wet spots as we try to adjust to changing conditions, by mid-day and early afternoon conditions become perfect. Our Greens and full course aeration are also fast approaching, with full closure September 29th and 30th. We will follow up the greens by aerating all areas of the course and should be completed by the middle of October early November. We do not enjoy this process any more than you however, the golf course does. We will do everything we can to complete this process while having the least amount of impact on your round of golf.

Applications are available in the Golf Shop. e Men’s Club has a website (www.pmlmgc.com) that you can visit to sign-up online for your membership (see Men’s Club eligibility rules) or to print an application. Once you are a Men’s Club Member, you can sign-up for tournaments online.PROPERTY OWNER ANNUAL GOLF CART RENTAL AGREEMENTEvery person who drives a golf cart on the course, is required to sign a golf cart rental agreement at the time of registration, before they can drive a golf cart. PML Property Owners sign the agreement one-time and that covers the entire year. If you have not signed your agreement you can go to the PML website (www.pinemountainlake.com) and ll it out and sign online or you will be asked to sign the form when you register in the Golf Shop. Click on amenities, then click on golf and you will see the agreement with other forms available. If you have any questions, please call the Golf Shop 1-209-962-8620.CARE OF THE GOLF COURSE TAKING CARE OF THE GOLF COURSE IS EVERYONE’S RESPONSIBILITY; PLEASE DO YOUR PART!Replacing Divots – PML is a DIVOT FIRST facility; that means that if the divot is intact or even a portion of the divot is intact, we want you to replace the divot rst and press the divot down rmly with your foot. When an intact divot is replaced, it will begin to root right away but a mulch lled divot will take weeks to ll in. If the divot hole is not totally lled in by the divot that you replaced then ll the rest of the hole with mulch and press down the divot rmly with your foot. If the divot is not intact, then ll the divot hole with mulch and smooth the mulch with your foot so it is level with the ground.Repairing Ball Marks – is is one of the major negatives in our great game; players either do not know how to repair ball marks correctly or don’t even attempt to repair them. Here is the correct way to repair a ball mark: Insert the divot tool just outside the edge of the ball mark, use the divot tool to mend in the outside portion if the ball mark towards the middle. en use you putter to tap down the repaired turf. If a ball mark is repaired properly, you will not even be able to tell that there was a ball mark. NEVER PULL UP THE MIDDLE OF THE BALL MARK.Raking Bunkers – We are back to normal procedures concerning bunkers; PLEASE make sure that you rake the bunker after you have hit your shot.Golf Carts – Driving golf carts on the fairways has a negative effect on turf conditions over time. PLEASE use the 90-degree rule posted in each golf cart in order to minimize the cart traffic on the fairways.(Continued from previous page)

34 SEPTEMBER PML NEWSFIRE SAFETYJOE MILANI – FIRE SAFETY COORDINATORADMINISTRATIONJust a reminder, Pine Mountain Lake requires all properties to comply with fire safety standards year-round. All member properties shall be re safe compliant, to the boundaries of each property (i.e. from property pin to property pin). For more information on members’ responsibilities regarding Pine Mountain Lakes fire safety standards, please contact the re safety department at (209) 990-5260 or drop me an email at fsc@pinemountainlake.come re safety team has observed some properties in the Association that have not yet cut their grasses or corrected other re safety violations. Cutting your dead dry grasses and weeds annually is one of the most critical steps in achieving defensible space. Flash Fuels such as grass can ignite easily and spread very fast igniting ladder fuels and other dense vegetation. is allows a re to get out of control faster making reghting eorts more dicult. It’s not too late to make your property re safe. Below you will nd some helpful tips for starting your defensible space project. • Guidelines for defensible space:o Keep vegetation from around windows (heat will break glass).o Keep all vegetation at least 5 feet from exterior walls and structures; this is bare dirt no-grow zone.o Keep trees and shrubs thinned within 30 feet of the structure consider removing flammable plants. (I.e., ornamental juniper, Leyland cypress, and rosemary). o Remove leaf litter, needles, and all debris 30ft around structures.o Keep vegetation thinned within 100 feet of the structure. o Cut all seasonal grasses and weeds (pin to pin).o Prune tree limbs back 10 feet from roof and structure.o Clear fallen debris from roof, gutters, window wells, and under decks.o Prune green tree branches 6 feet up from the ground.o Prune dead branches 15 ft up from ground.o Remove dead and downed branches, trees, logs, shrubs, and brush (pin to pin).o Remove dead standing trees (pin to pin).Please remember to test your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors once a month and replace any faulty alarms or low batteries immediately.Lastly, re safety inspections will continue in Pine Mountain Lake. Remember a re safe community begins with you! If you would like an inspection of your property, or you are looking to educate yourself more, our re safety team would love to help. If you have questions or concerns regarding re safety, you can contact Amanda Birmingham at (209) 990-5263 or email her at inspector@pinemountainlake.com. I can be reached at (209) 990-5260 or Email fsc@pinemountainlake.com.ADMINISTRATIONINSPECTIONS 101ASHLEY HENDERSON – ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL SPECIALIST So, you gured out what you wanted to do, drew up your plans, submitted your project, and got your approval letter…now what? Inspection time! Depending on what your exact project is, you will have anywhere from one to four inspections. First inspections are incredibly important, as they verify that your project matches the approved plans. We ask that you, or your contactor, string the property lines, and mark the exact location of the project—this ensures that the approved project is going exactly where it was approved, and allows us a chance to catch any potential issues prior to the work actually beginning. Remember the old adage: Measure twice, cut once—It is far easier (not to mention cheaper) to re-mark a project before the work begins, versus removing/moving, etc. something after it has already been built/installed. Final inspections verify that everything matches the approved plans as well, but this inspection will also ensure that the property is cleaned up, that your unit and lot and address are posted, and that any advertisement signs have been removed. It is important that all building materials, etc. are either removed, or stored within fully enclosed, approved storage areas. Building materials may not be stored in the open—this includes paint cans, extra lumber, pavers, etc. Failure to properly store any extra building materials will result in a failed nal inspection. Single-family dwellings and remodel projects will have additional inspections including foundation and framing inspections. For those of you who have their contractors set as their agents, please remind them to call for all applicable inspections. Your approval letter will let you know when, and how to call for inspections. You can schedule an inspection online at: https://www.pinemountainlake.com/pmla-forms/ But, as always, when in doubt give me a call! I will be happy to answer any questions you may have. 1-209-962-8605 or ecc@pinemountainlake.com

ADMINISTRATIONMAINTENANCE MATTERSRICK LAFFRANCHI – MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS MANAGER SEPTEMBER PML NEWS 35“Happily, we bask in this September sun, which illuminates all creatures” – Henry David oreauSeptember is normally the month the entire Maintenance team collectively exhales, just a little. The crowds are diminished, the impact on the roads, amenities and infrastructure as a whole are lessened considerably which in turn creates less breakdown/failure maintenance and allows for extended periods of Preventative and Predictive Maintenance to take place. The Building and Grounds crew has 1 project on the books and that is the construction of a new wash platform at the Stables, this is a reserve project slated for completion before the end of 2025. The Technician crew will be continuing gate upgrades to include spike strips, gate activators and general upkeep. Finally, the Buildings and Grounds crew will be involved with minor upgrades at the Administration building related to the installation of the New 60kw Generator. The Facilities crew will be heavily engaged in multiple projects, the first will be extensive reed removal from many parts of the lake, we have an estimated 1000 yds of reeds currently on the lake. Dig outs will take place in at least 1 inlet creek to remove sediment (when the water level cooperates). Additionally, crack sealing will continue to be performed throughout the association to assist in extending the life of our roads. The major project this month is the PMP work taking place literally in all points of the Association. This will be varying forms of repair or replacement of roads and right of ways. The schedule of dates and areas affected is being posted online, as well as the document below will provide you with locations. Well, that is more than enough for this month.

It is important that players sign up for the correct tees. Any player can play from the Gold tees, regardless of their age or index, if they so choose. But only players that qualify may play from the Purple/Green tees. To qualify a player must be 70, or older, or have an index of 18.7, or higher. It is very dicult for the Golf Shop to make tee changes at the last minute. Any player that plays from incorrect tees risks disqualication. Typically, one team member will sign up a 4-man or 2-man team, so it is imperative that that team member sign up their team from the correct tees.WEBSITE TOURNAMENT SIGN UPPlease continue to use the website, pmlmgc.com, to sign up and pay for tournaments. Using the website for tournament sign up and payment makes it easier for the club and the Golf Shop to manage tournaments. Go to pmlmgc.com to see the tournament schedule.JOIN THE MEN’S GOLF CLUBAny male persons who are current property owners, their siblings, sons, nephews, sons-in-law, and PMLA employees are eligible to join the men’s golf club.

SEPTEMBER PML NEWS 57PML ORGANIZED CLUBSPML PICKLEBALL CLUBPAM RODGERS 13 COMMON BEGINNER PICKLEBALL MISTAKES AND HOW TO FIX THEMOne of the most frustrating experiences we can have as athletes are making mistakes without knowing the causes or what to do about them. I’ve experienced this many times and I know exactly where beginning pickleball players are coming from. Adding on top of that, it can be hard to get information about proper pickleball strategy and technique considering the youth of the sport. I’m going to help you out today by talking about a number of common beginner pickleball mistakes that people make and how to get rid of them.Before we begin, I want to share something important with you. I’ve made all of the mistakes that you see on this list. Every single one of them. is is why I know how to talk about them. Although I’m going to go through how to x these issues, remember that changing anything about your pickleball game will take time! So stick with it!MISTAKE #1: STAYING IN NO MAN’S LANDThroughout a pickleball point, there are two main places to stand: the baseline and the kitchen line. For the most part, you shouldn’t be standing in any other area on the court. If you’re not standing in one of these areas then you’re standing in a place called no man’s land.Hanging out in no man’s land is a very common and consistent mistake that beginners, and even intermediate players, make. It’s OK, I’ve done it too. “Staying in no man’s land” means standing in the area between the baseline and the kitchen line. is is the last place that you want to be standing and here’s why. Right o the bat, standing in the no man’s land means that it’s easier for your opponent to hit shots towards your feet. Attempting to return these shots are dicult by itself, but even harder because you’re typically running at the same time. Returning a shot to your feet while running is borderline impossible. And if you do manage to make contact with the ball, it will either sail up into the air for your opponent to smash, or go right into the net.e other reason why you don’t want to be in no man’s land is that you are vulnerable to cross-court dinks. Check out this image. MISTAKE# 2: NOT SPRINTING TO THE KITCHENPickleball is primarily played at the kitchen. Not the baseline, not the middle of the court, but at the kitchen. It’s important to get to the kitchen as quickly as you can. Similar to what I said about no man’s land, if you saunter around in the middle of the court, you’re a target waiting to be smashed to. And you certainly don’t want that! If you lack mobility and you can’t sprint, just try to get up to the kitchen as quickly as you can.If a ball is heading your way while you’re running to the kitchen, stop in your tracks and focus on getting the ball back over. Running to the kitchen and returning a ball at the same time is a dicult task to accomplish and will often lead to popping the ball up for your opponent to easily smash. Imagine you’re the blue circle at the bottom of the image. Since you’re in no man’s land, an opponent can simply hit a cross-court dink and it will be nearly impossible to return. However, if you were standing at the kitchen line, then you’re able to return the shot easily.It’s true that an opponent can simply lob a shot over you while you’re standing at the kitchen line. However, lob shots are typically risky and can either be smashed or they can go out. A cross-court dink is much safer and much more eective.If you want to improve your game, make sure you get up to the kitchen line once the serve and return-serve have been executed! COME OUT AND PLAY!FOR MORE INFORMATION:Current Play Times (Changes Seasonally).

SEPTEMBER PML NEWS 59PML ORGANIZED CLUBSOUR COMMUNITYPINE MOUNTAIN GARDEN CLUBLINDA NEUSCHWANDERNEW TENAYA PRINCIPALJEFFREY J. MCFARLAND – SUPERINTENDENT- BIG OAK FLAT GROVELANDWhat a beautiful summer we’ve enjoyed so far! Not too hot, and often sporting a lovely warm mild breeze. Tourists and neighbors alike have enjoyed a classic Sierra Foothills summer. And how fun has it been watching those little fuzzball baby turkeys (AKA Poults) grow feathers to replace the fuzz and get busy scratching up the real estate looking for every bug and weed they can spot. And don’t forget the cute little spotties who have blossomed into graceful does and clueless young bucks who wander around wondering what the awkward pokey thing that just showed up on their heads. Local bucks and does are for the most part busy foraging. And thanks to our bountiful winter rain, the tasty growy greens are plentiful. All and all Groveland is well groomed thanks to our local critters and we Dear Tenaya Elementary Families,I am thrilled to announce that we have a new principal joining our Tenaya Elementary community! Please welcome Ashley Schmid, whose remarkable background in education reflects a deep commitment to nurturing our students’ holistic growth.Ashley holds a Bachelor of Science in Special Education from Penn State University, complemented by three minors in English, Deafness and Hearing Studies, and Human Development and Family Studies. She further enhanced her expertise with a Graduate Certicate from Rutgers University in Learning, Cognition, and Development. With nine years of experience in public schools, Ashley has served three residents who are doing our part to keep our land trimmed and re safe.e PM Garden Club has been enjoying the summer sping up our own gardens and visiting the gardens of friends and neighbors. But we have not neglected our beloved Jail Garden and are very grateful to members and associates who have spent time keeping the place watered, trimmed and weeded. We did buckle down for an early morning work session that was fun, rewarding and productive. Thank you for your faithful attention during this hot and dry season. And our BIGGEST news is that we now have two new, modern ADA accessible restrooms in our parking lot. It’s about time! We and others in Groveland have pressed long and hard to make this happen for the community as a necessary component to our growing community (Right?) We are grateful to years as a Multiple Subjects Teacher for Grades TK-5 and six years as a Special Education Specialist and Case Manager for Grades TK-12.In addition to her work in traditional educational settings, Ashley has spent 14 years as an Outdoor Educator with environmental non-prot organizations and private schools across California, engaging students from preschool through young adulthood. Having worked in six dierent schools in Mariposa and Tuolumne County, her diverse experiences have fueled her passion for fostering inclusive and nurturing learning environments.Ashley’s educational philosophy embraces a holistic approach, recognizing the importance of academic, social, emotional, creative, and physical development for each student.

SEPTEMBER PML NEWS 61OUR COMMUNITYFOGL HAPPENINGSJENNY FERRAIOLOGreetings all! Your FOGL board members and volunteers have been busy this summer. Here is a quick recap:FOGL CONTRIBUTION TO THE TUOLUMNE COUNTY LIBRARYGroveland is fortunate to have a library branch in our community. Because we feel it is incredibly important to ensure that residents have ample access to books, services, and activities, FOGL raises money each year to fund a fth day of library services. is money pays for a librarian to sta our library and keep our programs running. Funds are raised through membership dues, generous contributions and donations, and Book Nook sales. On June 24, FOGL Vice President Jenny Ferraiolo presented Tuolumne County Head Librarian Anita Simpson with a check in the amount of $10,000 for the Tuolumne County Library. e Groveland Library is open Tuesday through ursday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Friday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Because of this yearly contribution, library patrons have an additional day each week to check out books, magazines, audio books, puzzles, DVDs, and e-Books for free, as well as free use of computers, copier, fax machine, and internet, free tax forms and booklets, and access to Voter Registration forms.BOOK NOOK VOLUNTEER APPRECIATIONOn August 4, our many Book Nook volunteers were treated to a luncheon in appreciation for their tireless volunteer hours and eorts in keeping our only bookstore in Groveland operating. Without these individuals, the Book Nook could not exist. e Book Nook is open every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. It takes three people each weekend to sta the three-hour shifts: a sorter, shelver, and cashier. Additionally, volunteers set up the Book Nook each Friday before the sales, as well as deliver duplicate used books to the Dambacher Detention Center or to other contacts that may be able to sell the books for us.STUFF THE BUSFOGL once again assisted our elementary school students with school supplies in the “Stu the Bus” event. Many parents cannot aord to buy basic supplies that their children need for school. On August 8, donations such as pens, pencils, notebooks, binder paper, glue sticks, crayons, scotch tape, pocket folders, and money, were dropped o at the Mary Laveroni Community Park parking lot from 8 a.m. to noon. As usual, our community delivered! Tenaya Elementary received many generous supplies and donations. FOGL Secretary Audrey Prouse presented a $500 check to Tenaya’s new principal Ashley Schmid. ank you, Groveland, for helping our local students!FOGL Vice President Jenny Ferraiolo presents check to Head Librarian Anita Simpson with Tuolumne County Library to fund fth day of library service at the Groveland Library.Book Nook volunteers enjoy luncheon in appreciation of their time and service in stang the Book Nook.FOGL Secretary Audrey Prouse presents the Stu the Bus $500 check donation to Tenaya’s new principal Ashley Schmid.

Today, this magic continues entirely through the generosity of our community and visiting tourists.We are a registered 501(c)(3) nonprot, and all donations are tax-deductible.It’s hard to believe we are now entering September. is past summer seemed to be gone in a blink of the eye.

It’s exhausting just to think about it. What many probably don’t realize, is that since our rift Store has limited oor space, several times a year a few of the volunteer sta come in on a Sunday and HOW WE CELEBRATE:• A new Christmas theme is chosen each Januaryis year we have two - White Christmas and Classic Christmas• ere will be photo opportunities around town so bring your family down and take some pictures• Volunteers work throughout the year to bring it to life• Our towns shine with lights, displays, and photo-worthy scenes• Tourists and locals alike stop to enjoy, take pictures, and make memoriesrearrange the Store to accommodate the major holidays and season changes. ings are moved around, items are packed up and put in storage for the following year, etc. It’s a huge job to keep our little rift Store seasonally accurate. It would be impossible to do this during business hours, so we tackle it when the Store is closed. It’s a lot of work, but such gratication when it’s all complete.is is also back to school season. We have a lot of oce supplies, binders and such that might be needed. We’ve also had drastic sales on kid’s clothes for the back-to-school needs.Please look for us, proudly marching, directly following the Grand Marshall entry THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORTis tradition wouldn’t be possible without the donations we receive each year.

SEPTEMBER PML NEWS 65Dark skies are a valuable natural resource with cultural, environmental, and economic importance. ey are crucial for wildlife, human health, and cultural heritage, while also oering economic benets through reduced energy consumption and potential for astro-tourism. Here’s a more detailed look at the importance of dark skies1. CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCEConnection to the UniverseDark skies connect us to our place in the cosmos, inspiring awe and wonder, and reminding us of our shared history and cultural heritage according to the U.S. National Park Service.Nighttime Navigation and StorytellingHistorically, dark skies have served as a guide for navigation, a calendar, and a source of stories and cultural traditions.2. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPORTANCEWildlifeMany nocturnal animals rely on darkness for survival, including navigation, foraging, and reproduction. Light pollution can disrupt these natural processes, impacting their behavior and potentially endangering their survival.Air QualityDark skies are recognized as an air quality-related value, and light pollution can be considered a form of pollution, impacting ecosystems and human health according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (.gov).Ecosystem HealthPreserving dark skies can help maintain the health of local ecosystems and promote biodiversity by reducing the negative impacts of articial light on wildlife according to DarkSky International.3. ECONOMIC BENEFITSReduced Energy ConsumptionDark-sky friendly lighting can signicantly reduce energy consumption and save money for individuals, businesses, and municipalities according to Dark Sky Consulting, LLC.Astro-tourismDark sky areas can be a draw for tourists interested in stargazing, potentially boosting local economies through increased tourism revenue according to the National Park Service.Cost SavingsReducing light pollution through better lighting design can lead to long-term cost savings in energy and maintenance.4. HUMAN HEALTHCircadian RythmNatural darkness is essential for regulating our sleep-wake cycle (circadian rhythm) and hormone production, including melatonin. Disruptions to these rhythms can lead to sleep problems, mood disorders, and other health issues.Mental HealthExposure to natural darkness and the beauty of the night sky can have positive eects on mental health, reducing stress and promoting feelings of awe and wonder.In conclusion, dark skies are not just a matter of aesthetics; they are a vital natural resource that supports a healthy environment, promotes cultural heritage, and offers economic opportunities.OUR COMMUNITYDARK SKIES NEIGHBORHOODSBOB ASQUITH

70 SEPTEMBER PML NEWSFAMILY CAMP WRAPS UP In mid August, family camp wrapped up its season, hosting about 30 families who have children with disabilities and their siblings. Families enjoyed all the fun that camp oers, and sta provided respite for parents who very seldom have a “day o.”is summer, CTT hosted more than 250 campers and their families throughout the eight weeks of programming. According to many sta, families, caregivers and campers, it was one of CTT’s best years ever for camp and that’s thanks to our phenomenal seasonal sta supporting us all summer. Next up, we have individual groups utilizing CTT’s facility and grounds this fall.THE GENEROSITY OF OTHERSCTT has been fortunate to have received a recent donation and grant that will unquestionably make a dramatic impact on CTT. e rst is a signicant donation from the Malcolm & Darlene Brown Trust, which will help carry CTT through 2026. e Browns were not only generous philanthropists, but beloved members of our camp family and the Groveland community. eir enduring legacy of service, compassion and joy will continue to shine at CTT in 2026 and beyond.e second is a grant that was awarded to CTT from the California Lions Camp—District 4-A1 Lions Club. e grant will be used to help with the purchase of accessibility equipment and camperships for the 2026 summer camp season. is will help ensure that more campers have access to more of our camps as well as activities and facilities on site. ank you Lions Club!We ask that you please remember to include CTT in your estate planning. Without these CAMP TUOLUMNE TRAILS NEWSDORI JONESOUR COMMUNITYgenerous gifts, CTT would not be able to fulll its mission of providing unique camp experiences to people with disabilities.VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT - PAUL PURIFOYPaul and Kym Purifoy rst met Jerry and Paula Baker in 2004, even before ground was broken for Camp Tuolumne Trails. In those early days, they helped prepare camp in creative ways—including releasing feral cats to help control the rodent population and keeping snakes at bay.A rm believer that no summer camp is complete without animals, Paul introduced the camp’s rst residents around 2010--a pair of donkeys named Jack and Jenny, and a little white miniature horse named Dandy. Ever since, he has lovingly overseen their care.Paul, Kym and fellow volunteer and the late Jim Soderberg also brought their own brand of frontier-style fun to camp, entertaining children in full 1850s attire. Paul would (safely!) shoot balloons o Kym’s head, while Jim caught imaginary bullets in a bucket. At times, Paul and Jim would surprise campers dressed as dancing ostriches, spreading laughter wherever they went.To this day, Paul remains a devoted presence at Camp Tuolumne Trails, regularly stopping by to lend a helping hand—and making sure the animals are happy and healthy.Camp Tuolumne Trails’ mission is devoted to helping those with disabilities and those who support them by providing an accommodating environment for healing, respite, education and recreation.
