PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
The game of bridge…..a perplexing thing! That is why we keep coming back. Why do you keep coming back? For an afternoon or evening of entertainment….to
catch up with friends….to win those elusive points that matter to no one but
bridge addicts…for the love of the G-A-M-E?
On Sunday, September 1st, I received
the following email from Dean Congbalay ….don’t know Dean? You should!
He is migrating over from the I/N game. Dean has a charming personality
and an infectious laugh. He is responsible
for the recent article in the Enquirer,
“Young Students take up the game of
Bridge”, and we laughed when we saw the photograph for an accompanying
story. Dean and I connived to send it
to Jay Leno’s “Headline News” segment…we are still looking for it. His email to me read:eH
Today was neat.
A
friend of mine and I traveled to
The girl was 11. Her father started teaching her bridge five years ago;
all of her brothers play, as well. Her partner was a 13-year-old boy who has
earned 49.23 master points. He learned the game from his grandmother and
has already played in a national tournament. He even plays Two-Over-One.
On the penultimate board, she dealt and opened a diamond. He jumped
to Blackwood. After she showed one ace, he bid 6NT.
My partner smartly cashed in her ace on the first trick. The
boy then quickly proceeded to take the next few rounds. In the middle of
the hand, he led a small spade. My partner followed low.
He called for a low spade from the dummy; she pointed at her 6 and played
it only after he muttered "yes" and nodded his head. I
then plucked a good 8 from my hand, but just as it was exposed and
nary a few inches from the face of the table, he realized his mistake
and abruptly called for the dummy's Queen.
All of us knew what was happening. Our four sets of eyes darted from
one face to another. But nobody called for the director; my very
gracious partner gave him a gentle smile and told him that she would allow him
to correct his error and play the winning card.
I
didn't argue. He, of course, took the rest of the tricks and got a high board.
As we all put our cards back in the metal tray, my partner looked
at me, obviously concerned that her decision annoyed me. "He made a
bold bid," she said. "They're nice kids; I didn't want to win that
way."
There was, however, no reason for her to justify her action. I
smiled and immediately assured her that she did the right thing. When the final tallies were in, we
perused the score sheet. We came in second place -- trailing the winner by
a scant 0.62 point. That one, generous ruling made the whole
difference.
I
can't say enough how proud I was of my partner. I gave her a big hug, and we
happily took off for lunch.
Sometimes, a loss can produce a big win.
Enjoy your holiday weekend.
Dean
What would
you do? “Sometimes, a loss can produce a big win.”

the following five candidates running for election to the CBA Board:
JOHN BURPEE
I was appointed to the Board in August,
2006. I’ve been involved in: the member survey; the promotion campaigns
for the Regional and the upcoming Sectional; and increasing our membership. (It
was my idea to have a booth at Coney at the Senior Expo -- wrong!) I’ve been the correspondent for Unit 124 to The
Looking ahead, I will work to increase
membership through an expanded education program; establish better communications
with other Unit games; and increase participation in existing games. These activities could require some
“investment” spending.
I am the retired Assistant Treasurer of a small
manufacturing company in
PAT DUTSON
During the year that I have been on the
CBA Board, I have assisted the Board with the member survey and promotional
activities. I believe that my
organizational skills. leadership skills, and experience with promotional
activities are of benefit to
the Board.
I would appreciate your vote for the
Board.
GAYLE KEANEY
For the past year I have volunteered as
the CBA’s librarian. My work background
is in accounting and includes running my own businesses as a CPA and as a
Homeowner Associations manager. I also
served on the Board of my homeowner association and have done a wide range of
volunteer work, including running an
I am pretty new to bridge – two years now
– and have amassed an astounding 29 points (some even in colors!!!) while
maintaining my sense of humor so far.
Whether it be me or someone else, I think you would be well represented
to have the viewpoint of a “newby” on the Board.
POTTER ORR
I am running for a second 3-year term on the CBA
Board. I have been both treasurer and
vice-president during my first term. In
addition, I am the webmaster for both the cincybridge.com and the District 11
web sites. Working interferes with
bridge for me and I mostly play on Saturday afternoons and some evenings.
Despite all of that, I manage a life
beyond bridge involving a wife of 40 years, travel, golf, platform tennis, and photography

LIBRARY NEWS
by
Gayle Keaney
The cover story of this past June’s Bridge Bulletin told
about the latest bridge book surveys.
Two top ten lists resulted - the Experts Favorites and the
Readers Favorites. Most
of the total 15 favorites (five books showed up on both lists) were already in
the CBA library. Also in June’s Bulletin
was New Players Reading List by Tim Bourke, “arguably the world’s
foremost expert on bridge literature”.
The library’s goal is to eventually include all of the books from these
3 lists on our bookshelves. To that end,
most of the new additions recently purchased and listed below came from the
lists. Proceeds from the library sale
during the STAC ($109.50) helped pay for these additions.

The library has also purchased two sets of Audrey Grant
videos/dvds. These are two sets of
classes - the 3-volume Bridge Brush-up and the 2-volume Bridge at Sea
(the 3rd volume is no longer available). The Bridge Brush-ups are 13
half-hour PBS programs recorded in the late 90’s. The Bridge at Seas, as you
might guess, are recordings of classes Audrey has given on cruises. Both sets have great visual aids, top-rated
teaching and short sidebars like multiple choices for bridge terms (e.g. what
is a Pajama Party?). The ability to use
the pause & replay buttons is a big plus.
NOTE: VIDEOS & DVDS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR LOAN UNDER A
SPECIAL LIMITED POLICY OF 10 DAYS ONLY AND WITH ONLY ONE SET PER CBA MEMBER AT
ONE TIME. LATE FEES OF $1/DAY WILL BE
STRICTLY ENFORCED.
Another purchase, Audrey Grant’s Bridge at a Glance
, a 32-page booklet showing the bidding diagram and the bidding ladder with the
meaning of all the bids, is displayed on the library‘s easel. Because of the nature of this item, currently
it will NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR LOAN. It
will, however, be displayed and available for your review indefinitely. It fits easily inside the Convention Card for
quick reference. I purchased one of
these for myself. It’s the perfect
example of one of the best uses of the CBA library - to check out an item to
see if it’s something to add to your own library.

The Twilight Zone
by
Jim Edmiston
This hand
cropped up at a recent matchpoint duplicate game. It was the first hand of the day for my
partner and me.
My partner,
sitting in first seat white vs. white, chose to pass the West hand. North opened 1♣, and I overcalled
1♥. South bid 1♠, and
thereafter we were in the Twilight Zone.
The next two bids were made rapidly.
West came to life with 5♦, and North bid 5♠.
I thought I
had a tough call and, after a considerable pause, I passed, and before my
partner could bid, North announced that she was barred because of my (admitted)
hesitation. I protested this remark by
North, the director was called (by me) and the director correctly ruled that
West was not “barred” but could not be influenced by my hesitation. West then doubled 5♠, and North passed.
I believed
we could not beat 5♠, given this aucion, and I corrected to
6♦. South and West passed and,
after considerable thought, North bid 6♠ (as she put it “to save”). All passed.
So my bidding had succeeded in pushing the opponents to a cold slam.
But
wait! My partner led the ♥ Ace, I
encouraged, but alas partner returned a spade, being now out of hearts to
lead. South (declarer) won the ♣
Ace, drew trumps, and led the ♣ King, on which she deposited her
singleton diamond, and West also played a diamond.
As this
last trick was in the process of being turned over by all, I uttered these
fatal words: “No clubs, partner?” My partner was indeed void, but declarer was
not, and proceeded to correct her (revoking) diamond, and take the rest of the
tricks -- 6♠ bid and made!
Our
opponents on this hand (very competent players) proceeded to finish first
overall and win the jackpot. After the
game, I requested $.25 from each of them, as I had contributed at least that
much to their win. They gave me two
cents! Rod Serling would have been
proud.

Organization of THE
by
HAL NORRIS
On
Every member of the ACBL who lives in the Unit 124 area is automatically
a member of the CBA and a small portion of ACBL dues is returned to the
CBA. We are also part of ACBL District
11, which includes central and southwest
The original organizers of the CBA also developed a
constitution and by-laws. This has since
been amended five times. The Constitution
establishes the aims and purposes of the CBA (the promotion of bridge in all
its aspects in
The business of the CBA is controlled by the Board of
Trustees, consisting of fifteen elected members, plus any ex-officio members;
these include the immediate past President and bridge editors for the major
The seat of any Board member who misses four Board meetings
in a calendar year, or who misses three consecutive Board meetings in a
calendar year, is automatically vacated and the Board then has the
responsibility to elect a replacement Trustee to complete that term. A Trustee can be excused for missing a
meeting only because of serious illness or because of a conflict with other
official CBA business.
A member of the Board of Trustees is limited to two full
consecutive terms but can be elected again after being off the Board for one
year. Nevertheless, the Board is given
the power to by-pass this rule to elect a replacement Trustee who has left the
Board in mid-term.
An executive Committee has the same powers as the Board of
Trustees but only in an emergency when the President determines there is
insufficient time to call a meeting of the full Board. This Committee is composed of the President,
Vice-President, Recording Secretary, Treasurer and three other Board members
elected by the Board at its organizational meeting.
Amendments to the Constitution may be proposed by the Board of Trustees, the Executive Committee, or by petition of fifty (50) members of the CBA. Proposed amendments may be adopted by a majority vote of the CBA members present at any regular or special meeting of the CBA.
