Last Saturday’s game in the Terre Haute Bridge Center honored those players who had outstanding results at the bridge tables in the second quarter. Jim Gormong and Nancy Hanley were the king and queen. George Woodason topped the 999ers, Margie Kintz, the 299ers, and Jim Jennings, the 99ers. Jennings traveled to Indianapolis the next day and played in a stratified Swiss Team game. His team mates from our club were Dr. Jayesh Ramolia and Ann and Rick Kleinheksel. They bested all teams in their 299er division.
Reporting on 299er standings in the local club shows Margie Kintz in her familiar first-place position. The next three players are in a practical dead heat for second. They are Charles Parks, Carolyn Steinbaugh and Connie Shattuck. In striking distance are Joan Chervenko, Jim Jennings, Dr. Jayesh Ramolia and Mona Sternfeld. Sharon Mason heads the rest of the top 30: Arlene Luchsinger, Maggie Oyer, Marty Cornelius, Ann Kleinheksel, Susan McCarthy, Barbara Phelan, Jane Longfield, Dan Scott, Bob Logsdon, Mark Minar, Bill Scott, Alice Goodyear, Mel and Lucia Sinn, Elizabeth Parks, Pat Knauer, Gretchen Weston, Charles Bryan, Patty Cottom and Marjorie Raley.

PAW PRINTS: Want to adopt a pit bull? Here are some helpful hints
Despite the bad publicity, pit bulls can be very lovable and loyal family dogs. There is a great deal of confusion associated with the label “pit bull.” The most accurate definition refers to two breeds: the American pit bull terrier and the American Staffordshire terrier. Some people include other breeds in this group because they share similar head shapes and body types.
