President’s Columnb y D a v i d C a m p b e l l

Chinese proverb states: “The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The second best time is now.”

I have served on the BOD for fourteen years and have seen great ideas fail and bad ones pass. Luckily, mostly, it has worked the other way. During this time many ideas have been suggested to me to bring up as agenda items. This month I want to talk about one of those ideas, suggested by Jerry Newhouse one afternoon while he was giving me a ride to the airport.

Jerry suggested that, since we had giv-en out 28-hand certificates for so long, it would be a good idea to do something else as an award. He suggested that we give out hats to market the ACC and also reward the recipient of the 28-hand. I happily took his idea and made it a proposal at the next BOD meeting. At the meeting the discussion then turned into what items we should use instead of hats and we ulti-mately decided on nothing because twen-ty-five people couldn’t agree on one item that would make everyone happy.

A few meetings later we did ultimately decide to award pins for 28- and 29-hands, and I hope that some of you have started

getting them. The goal is to help market our organization and let people know we exist. Hopefully if you were lucky enough to get one of these pins you will proudly wear it and brag up our organization if ever asked about your pin.

There are probably many things the BOD could have or should have done years ago to help market our great organi-zation. For whatever reason we didn’t; we concentrated on regionalizing things and on rules and on other items that needed to be addressed. So now we hopefully can be-gin to focus much more on ways to attract and retain new members. The Marketing Committee has already started with some wonderful ideas, and many more are sure to follow.

For any of this to work we need every-one’s help. We all know friends who play cribbage and are not members. One easy thing we can all do is call someone and ask them to go to a Grass Roots club and try it out. I personally plan on bringing my brother in hopes he has fun, and it will also give me the opportunity to hang out with my brother.

Happy holidays to you all. CW

Play NiceOur club (34) agreed to adopt the ACC Cribbage Code of Congeniality. I printed copies for members and will hand copies to new players. On Tuesday, this actually generated a lot of good discussion, which I hadn’t expected. I had to be my usual dic-tator self (benevolent, of course) and cut

off discussion so we could play cribbage. I had intended to just let the club members know what I was going to do, as a good dictator would. I was surprised when one member—Larry McKinney—called out, “All in favor, say aye.” So, the code was adopted unanimously with no nays!

b y D a v i d A i k e nPlay smart, play fair, play fast—but mostly play nice

All organisms evolve—especially orga-

nizations. The ACC has been around

since 1979, and the first Cribbage

World was published in March 1980.

Since that time, we have used various

logos, and the cover pages have evolved

over the years (see the cover

of this issue).

Since we now live in a

graphics-based world, it is

time (read: past time) to update the

ACC’s logo. We need a logo that draws

attention. Think modern, attractive,

sexy, colorful, vibrant.

To find a logo that meets these crite-

ria, we are turning to our members. If

you are the creative/artistic type, why

not give it a go?

To enter, email your design to

[email protected] no

later than February 20. All

designs will be submitted

to the BOD for discussion

and approval at their March

1 meeting. If your logo is chosen by

the BOD as the new ACC logo, you

will win free entry into the 2019 JPW/

ACC Open! CW

4) 10/5? Life Master John Syftestad (Mount Horeb WI) turned in an impressive 15/7 +145 scorecard to capture the high-qualifying spot at the Madison Master consolation. Even more impressive is the scorecard at the low end of the spectrum. Most ACC players hang around after the consolation is over to see if our 12/5 made it; we have even become accustomed to hoping-against-hope that our 11/5 somehow sneaks in. Well, here is something new to worry about: the low-qualifying score-card in this nine-game 36-player tourney was 10/5 +39! Alas, the owner of this card, Dennis Koehler, was already on the road back to his home in Wisconsin Rapids. Sarcasm 101 Master Richard Hinrichs (Redding CA) won his first main tournament in 2009 when he beat his chief mentor, Life Master (4) Jim Langley (Red Bluff CA), in the final match of a tourney in Redding. Since then Richard has won a main tourney about once every two years—with his fifth main win emerging last spring in Eureka CA. But then during a six-week period starting in late September, Richard embarked on a mini-reign of cribbage terror with main wins in Antioch CA, Lac du Flambeau WI, and Fair Oaks CA. When asked by Cribbage World whether he preferred winning mains once every two years or once every two weeks, Richard replied that he would prefer to compromise and settle in with a main win once every two months. This would give other players a chance to win—and provide Richard with some extra time to work on his sarcasm skills. So close Ten-year-old Zack Gregson (Antioch CA) played the Battle of the Bay consolation and had a 12/6 +7. He missed qualifying by five spread points. Double LQ Lee Ann Kaai (Costa Mesa CA) was the only player to qualify in both the main and consolation at the Summer US Open in West Covina CA. She was low qualifier in both tourneys, and she went on to win the consy! Double 28s Life Master () Robert Milk (Queen Creek AZ) dealt Trevor Poole (Crescent City CA) a 28-hand in the Mount Bachelor

Mind the Gap Master Valerie Nozick (Seattle WA) was high qualifier in the Daffodil Express consolation with a grand slam 17/7 +199. The second best qualify-ing card in this seven-game tourney was a 9/4 +34, turned in by Karen Dupea (Fox Island WA). Not only is Valerie’s score

a new record for a seven-game tourney, but it is the largest gap between first and second that CW has ever seen in a sev-en-game tourney. Oi, Oi, Oi Under the tutelage of codi-rector Kerry O’Connell, her husband of thirty-eight years, Nigel Spencer (Ventura CA), became (quite possibly) the first Aus-tralian male to win an ACC-sanctioned tournament.

The Inside Trackby Rob Medeiros ••••• ••••• ••••• ••••• •••••••••• ••••• ••••• ••••• ••••• •••••

By way of reminder, here is last month’s column. The last hand of the game often requires great detective work. Let’s examine this hand: you are nondealer needing 2; the dealer also needs 2 points. You are dealt A-A-6-6-7-8; what do you keep? You are certainly going to keep an Ace and lead it. The other Ace is a safe play later on in the hand. The 7 is also a good card to keep in this situation since the dealer often plays a 7 if she has no response for the Ace; another 7 is the only card that beats her. So do you keep the 6 or 8; if the dealer plays a 6 or 8 on your Ace lead, it doesn’t matter. But if she plays a picture card, I prefer having the 8 to make it 19 rather than the 6 to make it 17. This way another picture card runs the count to 29, and you have the safe Ace to make it 30 in that case. So we hold A-A-7-8. Stayed tuned next month to see how the hand eventually played out.

Now for the conclusion. We lead an Ace and hope the dealer doesn’t have one of the two remaining Aces. The dealer plays a 9, meaning that our second Ace is safe, but is it the best percentage play? The dealer probably doesn’t have a 7, otherwise she would have played it, giving me one chance to win instead of two. So is the Ace or the 7the best play now? Well, I have an 8 so there are three remaining 8s, while there are four remaining 4s; so the 7 is the play. With the count at 17, the dealer plays a 3 to make it 20, and now the 8 is the only play. The dealer says go, and I play my remaining Ace, and hold my breath as dealer plays her last two cards. Fortunately for me, they were 4 and 5, so I ended up winning by one. The hands were A-A-7-8 for me, and 3-4-5-9 for her, so playing the Ace on my second play would have been the end for me.

Always take an extra moment to judge your pegging options rather than taking the apparent safe play; it can win you a game!

RECRUITMENT TIP OF THE MONTH

by Valerie Nozick (Seattle WA)I recently sent out invitations at work for our first “cribbage gathering.” I was amazed at how many people accepted—including many who I don’t know per-sonally, and some who I didn’t know played cribbage. It reminds me again—our game is enjoyed by so many people at home. There are plenty of cribbage players, far more than the ACC currently reaches.

As the new chair of the Marketing Committee, I’m determined to create aware-ness of the ACC. We have a great organization and community; now what we need to do is let people know that we’re here.

I’ve been blessed with a great committee. James Morrow has done so much to grow cribbage in Central Washington and beyond, and he’s a great source of ideas for growing at the Grass Roots level. Joe Bowen has done a tremendous job rein-stating cribbage in Maine, and he isn’t afraid to try new ideas. Darice Grzybowski is excited to focus her extensive marketing and PR knowledge on targeting the military/veteran community. Debra Lucas will be a huge asset as we freshen up our marketing materials. Jeff Gardner is identifying geographic areas where we can expand our Grass Roots footprint to reach members who want to play but have no place locally to do so. David Aiken and David Campbell have already done so much to promote cribbage, and their commitment to the marketing committee is a sign of how important this is to the ACC. Paul Gregson is our new VP of Marketing on the Executive Committee, where he will be a huge resource (and occasional sanity check) on our growth plans.

Last—but definitely not least—is every person reading this column. No indi-vidual committee can do it all. To reverse our membership decline, we need every single person to help. Talk to people about cribbage: you may discover that they play but don’t have someone to play with. Promote our logo with ACC swag from tournaments or from our new shop (zazzle.com/acccribbage). Post a free listing about your club on local news sites, Craig’s List, or other online message boards. We will succeed by trying many different things, and through the efforts of everyone.

At the committee level, we will be busy focusing on national marketing and retention, while figuring out how we can support every member to be a “word of mouth” promoter. Let us know how we can help you. Please send suggestions or requests to [email protected]. And look for a lot of great things in the coming months.

Like always, I’d love to hear your stories of what works to recruit and re-tain new members. You can contact me at [email protected].

Oh, the People You’ll Meet!

by Tammy Gibbons

We all love a “new kid on the block does well” story, and I hope to share many of them with you in the coming months. This one involves an interesting woman by the name of Dana McClain (Battle Ground WA).

Dana stumbled onto the ACC by hap-penstance (as many of us do!) when she was playing cribbage at a Moose Lodge. ACC member Karen Ferraro spotted Dana and invited her to the March 16, 2014, Grass Roots National Tournament in Chehalis WA. Not knowing what any of this was about except that cribbage was involved, this “new kid” managed a 24/11 score in her very first attempt. Next, she joined Club 118 in Portland OR. On her very first night there she scored a 28-hand against member Gordon Mery. She wasn’t even sure how to count it, but he was patient and kind and she got it right!

As if that wasn’t enough, Dana then journeyed to Lincoln City OR in May of that year for her first weekend tournament,

and she won the consolation! She man-aged to defeat Margaret Fanucchi (Sebas-topol CA) in the third game of the finals, where Dana was 16 out with first count and cut into a 16-hand!

Lest you think life is just a big bowl of cherries for Dana, she only just retired from the Federal Government, where she worked for thirty-two and a half years, more than twenty-six of them as a high voltage electrician and most recently as a foreman at Bonneville Power. She now spends her time doing whatever she wants, including making beautiful crib-bage boards and peg holders and driving

around the North-west (in good weath-er only) in her dream car—a red Mustang convertible. If you’re a very special person, you might get permis-sion to drive it too.Do you know an inter-esting cribbage player, or are you a cribbage player with a great story to tell? If so, please drop me a note and let me know! I’d love to write about as many interest-ing folks as I can.

During a new player’s trial period (four weeks or until they earn points—whichever is longer) . . .

• We pledge to welcome new players warmly and make them feel wanted.• We pledge to not penalize new players for violating tournament rules. (We will,

instead, gently tell them what the rule is and what the penalty would be.)• We pledge to not let new players underpeg points or undercount hands. (We

will, instead, explain errors and then allow new players to take all points they are entitled to.)

• We pledge to not make new players feel inferior if/when they miss points or make a bad play. (We will, instead, let them know that all cribbage players do this and that it is part of the learning process.)

• We pledge to not force new players to play a game in fifteen minutes. (We will, instead, be tolerant and not complain, remembering that we, too, started slow.)

• We pledge to allow new players to play for free or at the minimum cost of club expenses.

After the trial period is up . . .• We pledge to continue to make all players—new and existing—feel welcome and

comfortable at our club.

Ruling Points . . .We have seen rigorous discussion about kibitzing (pointing out errors), most often when new players play, and whether another player should point out things like missed points. We think the topic applies to both Grass Roots and tour-naments and that all players need to remember that the rules apply uniformly. There are ways to help players after the fact, but definitely not during a game itself. The Code of Ethics specifically addresses this issue by enumerating items not to do, such as “communicating about the play of someone else’s game in such a way that it affects the outcome.” Many experienced players help new players achieve tournament-quality play by advising, coaching, and competitively playing them, and we strongly urge the entire cribbage community to foster that level of fair competition after the game is over.

Cribbage Board of the MonthBY JAY FULWIDER

This old “hedgehog” cribbage board was given to me by ACC

member Jim Langley (Red Bluff CA). He acquired the board last year from Bob Nielsen (Rio Linda CA). After talking with Bob, I was able to establish the board’s history.

Bob’s grandmother was born in Canada. As a young girl, she was shuttled between family in Canada and England. Cribbage was the per-fect game to occupy time on the long ship passages between countries. The board was probably given to her by a relative in England, because it dates back to before she was born. Eventually, she married and settled in Oakland CA. After Bob’s grand-mother passed, the board went to his aunt. He got the board in 1970 when she died. Since then, it had been gathering dust at Bob’s house.

Fast forward to last year. Bob was working on a high school alumni newsletter when he decided to put in a personal note to Jim. After more than fifty years they got in touch. Jim visited Bob while attending an ACC

tournament. Discovering Jim’s devo-tion to cribbage, Bob passed grand-ma’s board on.

This board has seen a lot of use. It was broken and repaired with two screws. The label on the bottom is difficult to read, but after some re-search I determined that it reads “De La Rue & Co. / London / Manufactur-ers to Her Majesty.” This is a reference to Queen Victoria, who reigned from 1837 to 1901. My best guess is that the board was made in the mid-1800s. Hedgehog boards were popular back when the game was played to only 61 points (once around). The pegs pulled up as you moved, which enabled you to look back and see the history of pegging and hand counts. The pegs were pushed down for the next game.

The second photo is a C. W. Le Count board made in South Norwalk

CT in the late 1800s. Bob collects cast-iron items, so I sent this cast-iron board to Bob as a thank you. Ironically, this board was also broken and repaired with two screws.

Jay Fulwider collects cribbage boards from his home in picturesque Washington State, where he also enjoys golf, fishing, and racquetball. His philosophy on the key to life: “Just keep your pegs moving.” Ideas for and questions about this column may be sent to him at [email protected] (put “Cribbage Board” in the subject line).

Thanks to Michael Burnham (Cartersville GA) for a heads-up about an old cribbage board from Virginia City NV that he found in a book by Kelly J. Dixon entitled Boomtown Saloons: Archaeology and History in Virginia City (published by Univer-sity of Nevada Press in 2005). The intact board, with only a few nicks marring its surface, was found during excavations at Piper’s Old Corner Bar in Virginia City. It was carved from soft volcanic rock into the shape of a solid rectangular block,

with the suit decorations on the sides of the board.

GAME ON by Dan Zeisler

Youth Teaching TipI’ve mentioned this notion in previous December col-

umns and will continue to do so because I think it’s a great idea!

With the holidays almost here, I have a suggestion for the perfect

gift to give a child, grandchild, coworker, or neighbor—a cribbage

board, a deck of cards, and four thirty-minute lessons. In return,

you will receive many smiles and a sense of gratification every

time you are asked to sit and play a game or two. You can fol-

low it up with another perfect gift—a membership to the ACC! If

every ACC member were to teach just one person how to play

cribbage, we would have thousands of new players across the

country. Happy holidays!

Youth NewsThe ACC Youth Program received $150 as a memorial donation

in honor of Irene Maslonkowski (WI), who passed away in July

2017 at the age of 95. Regardless of her Alzheimer’s, she could

still play cribbage and did so up until a week before passing. Irene

was a former school teacher who played a game of cribbage ev-

ery morning with her son before school, “to get his brain going.”

She will be missed by all who knew her.

A huge thank you to Club 37 (Puyallup WA) and director Don

Zeutschel for their donation of sixteen long boards to the Youth

Program. These exemplary boards are from a variety of native

woods in Washington, including cherry, maple, and plum. They

will soon find a home in a teacher’s classroom.

There is still time to register for the first ever Youth Santa Slam

in Antioch CA on December 9. For details click on the Youth

Pages link at cribbage.org.

his way to a grand slam—until he played Larry in the ninth game, which Larry won by two points. On October 24 Bob Hamilton was unbeatable in the first eight games. Unfortunately for Bob, he played Larry in the ninth game and lost by fourteen points!

Club 79 (La Mesa CA)—on just his second time playing with Club 79, and on his first day of membership (September 26), Dale Leggitt got a 28-hand.

Club 120 (Wisconsin Rapids WI)—possi-bly the oldest club champion in the Grass Roots community, John Siewert still takes no prisoners. Before he left for a few weeks to visit family in the Far East, he posted a win and a 28-hand in the first few weeks of play.

Club 142 (Paradise CA)—the age range here may be a record for Grass Roots play.

On October 5 Nina Plowman, the club’s youngest player at eight years old, had lost eight games in a row. Then she played Herb Hollander, our oldest player at eighty-sev-en. Nina’s cards changed to the better as she skunked Herb by 34 points!

Club 314 (Hudson NH) had their first 28-hand of the season when Patty Jones was dealt four 5s and got the King cut. Maybe

someone can tell us if the odds are different for four 5s dealt versus 5-5-5-X to get a 28-hand?

Club 218 (Gladstone MI)—new member Jim Aird Sr., in only his second week of Grass Roots play, had a 28-hand.

Club 261 (Edmonton AB) has been an exciting place to play. Vic Sever worked in a 28-hand along with a first place win on October 11. A couple weeks later Terry Hatto missed a grand slam by losing his ninth game by one hole. In our GRRT on October 22, Terry once again won eight of nine to start his morning. But don’t feel too bad about his missing the elusive grand

slam again; during those nine games, he scored a 29-hand! He finished the GRRT in first place with a 28-card.

Club 277 (Fairbanks AK)—on October 28 John “Tom” Preshaw was lucky enough to score a 29-hand, but unlucky enough to lose that game!

On November 4 at Mesa Club 24, Ron James got a 29-hand on the first hand of his game against Tom Cook. Ron won the game!

Cub 354 (Palmer AK) had an exciting week the last week of October. On Thurs-day Elizabeth Thornlow scored a 29-hand. Then the following Saturday in our Grass-roots Regional Tournament, she scored an amazing 30/14 +191 card!

Gary ClarkRiver City Peggers Club 162 sadly misses their friend and fellow club member Gary Clark. Gary passed away October 16 from pulmo-nary fibrosis at the age of 79. Gary was a math teacher in Woodland CA for thirty-five years. He brought his math skills and graciousness to the cribbage boards. Always a gentleman and a keen competitor, Gary achieved his Bronze Award in Grass Roots and was very close to Silver level when ill health prevented him from playing cribbage anymore. Gary also enjoyed hunting, fishing, golfing, gardening, coaching his children in softball and baseball, and at-tending school athletic events.

Jerry McBrideJerry McBride passed on August 31. He was well liked and a good person. He enjoyed play-ing tournaments in Oregon. Jerry was one of the original club members at Grants Pass. He had a unique laugh, and when you heard it you laughed with him. He loved to play cribbage and golf. We all miss our good friend.

Allen “Bill” PressThe Napa Club and the ACC lost longtime

member Bill Press on October 8. He passed suddenly without prior known serious health issues. There is much to say about him. Per-haps the best way is to quote a few of many comments from our cribbage payers: “Always the life of the party, with lips always moving!” “His humor, his willingness to help others, a mentor and volunteer.” “He had a quick wit and a quicker tongue.” “I never met a person who didn’t like Bill.” “I always enjoyed being next to him during tournament play—a chat-terbox yes, but funny.” “He made us laugh, he cared for all of us, but mostly he was a great cribbage player always willing to help new players and experienced players alike.” “Always ready to do what needed doing.”

Ethel SherwanEthel Sherwan (Oostburg WI) passed away on Sunday, October 22, at age 89. Ethel joined the ACC in 1997 and, until health restrictions the past few years, played in many tournaments all over the United States. She was very proud of attaining the rank of Master, and winning four tournaments. She made many friends and will always be remembered by her “million dollar” smile. She will be missed.
