Pine Tree Cove Resort Community Cribbage Tournament

CRIBBAGE   NEWS 

Calling all cribbage readers and fans.  We got em’ coming from Des Moines now. 
The word is out of the fun time and competition.  Dan Jaspersen from Iowa,  got wind of the cribbage
tourney and came on down.  He was visiting family staying at Harmony Beach, and joined in the fun
and proceeded to skunk some folks a few times.  You are still welcome back Dan, you are a
good player.  Also staying at resorts for vacation was Gordy Stadola from Edan Prairie,
Mike Gladhill from Mpls., Don Lundstrom  from Rogers, Dale and Pat Peters from Austin, Mn. 

Mr. “I never win anything,” alais Dan Vertina, won first place for the umptemth time. 
Mike G. was right behind Dan for second place and hooray for Lynne Osse, coming in third place on
her first time back this year.  Good ole’ regulars present were Bob Buntrock, Sheri Vertina,
Karen Huth, Jerry Strieff and Lee Konen all helped pack the hall.  The next gathering is up in the air
for now, since Mr Bunt and Sam will be gone the next few Sundays.  Stay tuned for the notice of next time.

Kabetogama Cribbage Tournament, June 7

“I finally won first place, now I don’t have to come back any more!”  That is the comment Dan Vertina made when the
score was added up and he took first place and his bride, Sheri, took second.  Wow, “They cleaned our clock,” were
the comments from the peanut gallery.  Mr Buntrock took third place.

A pre-tournament, warm-up game was played between Mr. Bunt and Mr. Bernick, and someone was skunked,
the latter mentioned.  That set the tone for “competitive ribbing” rest of the afternoon, and alas, Mr B. did not place in
the top three.  No feelings were hurt, and everyone has remained friends.  A moment of silence was taken to acknowledge
the cribbage players who were sorely missed, but with them in spirit, Leverne Oveson and Mingo, (Richard McGregor). 
Lee Konen brought a wonderful rhubarb cake, and also present were Dick Ostman, and Jerry Strieff.

Everyone present wanted to play again next Sunday, but Mr. Bernick who seems to be calling the shots,
said, “No, I need more time to recover.  If you want to play, just come down most any time and challenge me.” 
The next scheduled cribbage tournament will be Sunday, June 20, at 1:00 P. M, at PTC again.

Week 2

At the June 20th cribbage “Masters” tournament at Pine Tree Cove Resort,
a fun time had by all.  The scorekeeper (Bob Buntrock) came in first place (??)!  Second place
 winner was Dan Vertina who walked in and said, “I never win, I never win,” but, come on
Dan, “HELLO,” you won first place two weeks ago!  Jerry Strieff took third place. 
Good job all you winners, for we know you were on pins and needles with a close
race for high score.  Other participants were Sherri Vertina, Lee Konen, Sam Bernick,
Karen Huth and the newby, Dianne Gorder from Sartell. 

Diane was interviewed after the game when the other players had gone.  “So, what did
you think of the locals and their game, Diane.”  She commented that they are really a
fun group of people, good cribbage players, and that she had enjoyed her time.  She did
wonder tho, why some folks seem to like to pick on Sam, being the “Sweet Ole Boy,” 
(s.o.b. for short) because he is so calming, generous and sharp? 

Thanks to Sherri and Dan for bringing some wonder nibbles and a great homemade salsa. 
Please join this “nutty” group of folks for the next tourney.   We plan on playing the same
place, same time (1 P.M.) on June 27, since a two week spread would be July 4, and that
isn’t a good time.  Just show up or call Sam at 875.2088 to be part of history!!
