4 V O L U M E 2 6, I S S U E 2 P a g e 4 From your President Glenn Bogenschneider WOW! What a long winter, BUT the outdoor pitching season is about to commence. Your executive Board met in March and some exciting decisions were made with regard to our Newsletter. All the details are spelled out in another article in this issue. As you are choosing tournaments that you will be pitching in this summer, please keep in mind the World Tournament in St. George, UT, July 22 to Aug 3rd. I will have packets available with all the info you will need to know to have a GREAT WT experience. Rooms are as low as $79 per night and there are lots of campsites available. Also, on the State level, please consider pitching TWO additional tournaments this summer. Our TD's and your fellow pitchers will THANK YOU! The Board is still in need of a membership and promotions leader. This is an excellent opportunity to work with State officers and to add your expertise to growing the sport we all love. If interested, please contact me. Both the Madison & Oshkosh Visitors and Convention Bureau's have contacted me with interest in holding one of our events. If you have any thoughts on this, please contact me. See you on the courts!! Behind the Mask With NHPA Chaplain Ken Heinritz W I S C O N S I N H O R S E S H O E S Do you ever thank the tournament director for running the show? How important is a tournament director? Maybe a better way to ask that question is How much do you enjoy pitching horseshoes. No tournament director means no tournament! Running an event is much like taking on the role of a servant. Willingly offering your services for the good of the pitchers is something to be praised. Listen to some of the directors responsibilities: Advertise or list it, apply for patches from regional director, assemble names from phone messages/e -mails/letters, consult Natstats for current averages, make schedule (trying to accommodate days & times of the pitchers), mail schedules, arrive at tournament site early, organize charts/stat sheets, announce start up information, keep track of numbers, give awards, clean up, file results with John Secord & goes to Natstats, publish results. This means donating hours of time. He/she needs to be prepared to settle disputes & be knowledgeable of the NHPA rule book. It s optional to have scorekeepers or concession stands, but this means more work. A tournament director is a critical ingredient to the advancement of our sport. They are to be applauded and thanked every time they run an event. After all, who are they doing this for? YOU!!! I am reminded of Phil. 1:3 which states I thank my God upon every Tournament director Rudy Van Fleet tallying up the wins/ losses at a recent Deansville event. remembrance of you. Servants, thank you!

5 V O L U M E 2 7, I S S U E 2 New Years Day Rumble Jan. 1 st, 2013 By, Jeff Gustafson The thermometer read 0 degrees and the sun was shining. A beautiful day for pitching outdoors but Jeff Gustafson decided that it might be better to stay out of the sun so his New Years day rumble was held indoors at Beloit for the 5 th time. Sixteen people showed up. Everyone enjoyed another fun tournament. Here are the results: Allen Johnson & Dave Carpenter 196 Points Jim Huckabee & Rondi Mengelt 185 Points Jeff Gustafson & Ed Dolan 179 Points Bruce McLinn & Charlie Goldsmith 154 Points Kevin Brekke & Walt Houck 153 Points Skip Ramsdell and Dan Lessman 142 Points Herman Robisch & Russ Burns 137 Points Mouse Beckius & Georgia Beebe 113 Points Games were to 28 Points, highest point total per game, 28. Allen & Dave did not lose a game. They reached the highest possible point total. This event was also a benefit for the Rock County Humane Society. Kimberly Beebe, daughter of Ken and Georgia Beebe, is a long time employee of Rock County humane Society. Kimberly and Georgia, by using a bag raffle, drawing and a number of checks from individuals raised a total of $ which was donated to the Society. Someone commented that this tournament was for the dogs! Any- Edie McKinney Steps Down By, Edie McKinney, Jane Smith Edie McKinney is resigning from her position as Hall of Fame Chairperson. Though she has enjoyed her job, she feels someone more tech savvy would be good for the organization. While she was Chairlady she organized the material from former HOF Chair, Susie Pritzlaff. Each member of the HOF committee has received a three ring binder with all of the HOF nominations-compliments of Edie s dedication and professionalism. The job description Edie shared follows: this person is responsible to organize and distribute the new nomination forms to the committee; write up the information of the HOF inductee for the State Tourney booklet; order two plaques- one for the member and the other for the WI HOF wall in Beloit; acquire pictures for the plaques; lead the HOF meeting held prior to the Spring meeting; create ballots, announce winner at meeting.

6 V O L U M E 2 7, I S S U E 2 Deansville Rally By, Jim Haupt Kerry Morris is the only pitcher in this state who has an annual tournament named in his honor. The Klash with Kerry signup sheet was out at the January Deansville Rally. Who is this celebrated pitcher of Deansville? Sometimes Kerry hits the ceiling. Sometimes he doesn t. Same deal with the stake. Kerry Morris is lately not living up to his erstwhile position as a WHPA championship class pitcher. In one way that made it easier to seed him into the top of B class. The other factor was that the Heinritz bros. expressed the desire to travel together. With just four courts, at the Deansville Barn, two traveling as one means pitching the same class. Ergo: Russ Heinritz was seeded as the lowest pitcher, #8, in A along with his bro, Ken, the top, #1, seed. First game they are matched. They both pitch 21 ringers, 55% a low game for Ken, a nice game for Russ. Darned if Ken didn t get a few more single points Nelson s Crossing is now a name of the past but the whole place is still there, all 4 1/2 acres, tavern, volley ball courts, and horseshoe barn to boot. The barn plays to pitchers twice a week, Tuesdays and Thursdays, and the four weekend tournaments over the winter months. Its called, JD and Me s Place now with pretty much the same food and libations offered. Strikes us as a nice family bar. The last word on Kerry Morris. If one cannot have a good time pitching with him, give it up. See you at the Klash. Class A Class B Ken Heinritz 61.8 Mitch Littlegeorge 33.3 John Molling 52.1 John Olson 35.4 Don Illgen 47.1 Kevin Brekke 26.3 Class C Rich Conrad 25.0 DavePalmerscheim 22.0 Greg Bergles 13.5 For Sale or Lease Anybody interested in making the NHPA Mini Silhouettes, contact Rudy VanFleet. $20 for patterns, finished product extra. Can be seen decorating the Deansville Horseshoe barn. Some people come into our lives and go quickly, Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same. author unknown Bring A Pal By, Jim Haupt P a g e 6 Bring is the key word. The Beloit Club recently hosted a tournament designed to acquaint sandlot pitchers to the greater world of tournament horseshoes. This unsanctioned event provided the opportunity to introduce a friend to the benefits of the NHPA. We often hear the plea, If everybody could recruit just one new member our ranks would double. OK that must be a dream, but here at Beloit it became an opportunity, a chance at greater membership. As it happened 25 pitchers brought 25 pals. Bring a Pal doubles results: Class A Class B Linda & Stan 30.0 Glenn & Dick 28.0 Tom & Jim 27.0 John & Kathy 27.0 Leo & Bob 26.0 Russ & Karen 23.0 Class C Class D Ken & Duane 22.0 Norm & Len 29.0 Kevin & Dave 18.0 Walt & Frank 23.0 Bob & Pam 17.0 Rondi & Rod 18.0 No Problem No embarrassment, only to those with unique first names. The Beloit Club has no patent on the Bring a Pal format, only encouragement to any other clubs interested. Otherwise bring your pal next time around. A Friend We ll Miss By, Jane Smith Dan David Wisconsin Horseshoe Family has lost another icon. Dan David and his wife, Sylvia, were well known in the horseshoe world, first as pitchers then as cheerleaders for their grandkids. Dan is now joining other horseshoe pitchers in the next world. Dan was known for his everlasting, infectious smile and never ending repertoire of jokes. Dan spent his life in the Marshfield area where his family prospered. He joined the Navy and after serving during the Korean War, worked as a military recruiter. Dan ws also owner of the Dan-D Heating company in Marshfield. Dan was an avid sportsman enjoying fishing, hunting, bowling, horseshoes and dartball. He was truly a family man spending time with his kids, grandkids and great grandkids on the boat and pontoon. Yard games were a constant in the David family. We will miss et another great man. Our sympathy to the David family.

7 V O L U M E 2 7, I S S U E 2 World Tournament Qualifying Jerry LaBrosse, NHPA VP The purpose of this message is to talk about qualifying events for the World Tournament. As you know, you need 4 sanctioned events posted on your Natstats record within the past twelve months from the WT deadline date of May 16th. These events can be either sanctioned leagues (minimum of 400 shoes pitched), or sanctioned tournaments (minimum 100 shoes pitched). First I want to talk about what constitutes a sanctioned tournament. I started a forum string recently to see what the opinions were of those who read the forum. There was a lively discussion that broke out, and it seemed that the general consensus was that the minimum number of players should be at least two. Every year there are folks who need one or two "last minute" qualifying events to make the minimum requirement for the WT. We have a few reminders for what exactly is a legitimate "open" sanctioned tournament. In the requirements of the RGS book (page 21), it clearly outlines what the duties of a tournament director are. It is the Regional Director's main responsibility to make sure that all sanctioned tournaments are conducted within the rules and guidelines of the NHPA. This ensures the integrity of our sanctioning system, and guarantees that NHPA sanctioned events are legitimate. With all this said, there is one last thing that is needed to be said to all tournament directors. Every year we have an issue with the folks who pitch a qualifying event close to the deadline for world. Let's say that there is a tournament in Sometown, USA on May 11th...well within the 12 month limit for sanctioned events. If the TD does not submit those results promptly, that player will not have the required event on their record. World Tournament Check In Advice Debby Michaud, NHPA VP The first thing you will do, officially, when you are at the World Tournament is to check in and to have your horseshoes checked. Before you leave home, put your NHPA card in your horseshoe bag or box (laminating it is a good idea!) Your horseshoes will be checked for weight and measurements. Along with your horseshoes, Continued next column P a g e 7 Klash with Kerry By, Jim Haupt Rudy reports this event as most entertaining in recent time. Arriving at the D Barn plenty early we found no action on the courts. All pitchers on a break watching the Badgers playing round ball. The B class had two games to go. Bun Carley, eventual winner, brought along his latest wood projects, one a football, the other a basket ball both hollow pieces showing a nice shiny wood grain. How does he make those things? Building a schooner in a bottle would be easier. In the earlier class, already posted, we saw the bottom seed doubling his entry average. Jerry Loose wins the class going away. Another competitor, Denis Capener played today. He must be feeling OK in spite of his infirmities. Class A Galen Kozel Steve Miller John Molling Class B Bun Carley Michelle Plaisance Gary Volz Class C Julio Tijerina Bill Dahmen Ed Mell Class D Jerry Loose Kevin Brekke Greg Bergles Class E Randy White Jeff Humphries Riki Williams Watch for Steve Miller to pitch in the championship class come Labor Day. Three classes Saturday, two on Sunday. Pitchers must like the Klash. be prepared by having your measuring tools and your file with you, and make sure that, if you have a hook, it is within the NHPA specs. Other things that will be checked are your pitching shirt with your name and state clearly written on the back of it and the shoes on your feet, so wear those shoes (no open toes) and that shirt to check in. Carefully read the front page of the World Tournament schedule and check your pitching times and days. Good luck to all of you!

8 V O L U M E 2 7, I S S U E 2 There is an excellent ten page history of the Beloit horseshoe club on their club web page. Earl Paulson said this was written about ten years ago. Some of the highlights of the history will be mentioned in this article. Horseshoe pitching has long been a popular sport in Beloit. There was a time when there were courts all over the city and families played horseshoes in their backyards. Several horseshoe enthusiasts built regulation courts in their yards and invited players out of town to compete with one another. In the 1950 s courts were built in a public park. These eventually were vandalized. In 1967, Don Goldsmith and his father built 4 regulation clay courts and were used every Tuesday evenings and Saturday afternoons. There was no organized league but every fall an annual doubles tournament was held. In 1980 a new crop of pitchers joined the old -timers and the Beloit Horseshoe Club was formed. In 1985, the league was sanctioned and remains so today. In 1987, Bud Renley began clearing an area where nine cement courts were constructed just a week before their first tournament. The courts are presently known as Renley Courts. In 1989 Beloit held its first State tournament. This came about with the closing of the Pitchin Palace in Sturtevant. A total of 13 courts were prepared and because the Club had an excellent reputation of hosting tournament also hosted the State event in 1992, 1995, 2001 and The Beloit Club inherited an international Beloit Horseshoe Club History By, Earl Paulson, Jane Smith P a g e 8 flavor to tournaments with the hosting of the Team World event. Many top percentage pitchers have pitched in this event where perfect games have been a pleasure to watch. Beloit has rented the Telfer Park ice arena during the month of May to host the WI State Doubles, WI Club team, Team World, and Encore tournaments. These events need more courts so the Beloit club sets up 24 courts for the month of horseshoe pitching. Beloit has since built six indoor courts so year around pitching is possible. They are a very innovative group and do everything possible to promote the game of horseshoes. Two such events are a couple years old and are the product of mastermind, Jimmy Paulson. He has developed and promoted Bring a Pal and Bring a Junior tournaments in order to increase the WHPA membership. Beloit also has a variety of league pitching year around every day of the week! Such a group of dedicated horseshoe people! The Beloit Club has been recognized by the NHPA in receiving the 1997 Achievement Award at the World Tournament in Kitchener, ONT, Canada. In 2000, World Tournament in Bismarck, ND, Red Ferguson received the NHPA Achievement Award. Earl Paulson received the WHPA President s Award in If you have not had opportunity to visit and pitch in the Beloit facility, add it to your bucket list. It will be a memorable experience. Jim O Loughlin lost his wife to cancer recently. He sent the following to express his appreciation of his horseshoe family: My brothers in the horseshoe world, I can't thank you enough for your cards and phone calls. You can't imagine how wonderful that makes one feel. This life of ours is so short that one forgets that. Horseshoe is not only a game but one does develop a friendship along the way. That's the beautiful part of playing the game of horseshoe. Thank you all again for helping me get through this loss. Jim O'Loughlin, Adams, Wisconsin What Cancer Cannot Do It cannot invade the soul, suppress memories, kill friendships, destroy peace, conquer the spirit, shatter hope, cripple love, corrode faith, steal eternal life, silence courage.
