Slo-Pitch Season We will be starting our season Wednesday, August 4th at 6:30 start out in Maryhill. To cut the cost, we will be playing at the new Community Centre baseball diamond located on the left-hand side of the road at the sharp curve going out towards the old Maryhill Knights of Columbus. The format will be different, as 2 teams will be picked once enough players have arrived. The cost will be $20 for the regular season and possibly the year end tournament depending on the participation from the councils. If you can’t make every game and want to come out to play the cost will be $5 to cover the cost of the diamond. If you are interested in playing you can email the grand knight at grandknight@kofc1504.com or financialsecretary@kofc1504.com.

K of C Bowling Treasures cash in Bowling is sometimes one game, one hot person away from being a winner to a runner-up – or worse, has been or goat. A head pin instead of a strike, and the game is done. That may have been the case – or it could have just plain good bowling as the Treasurers edged the hard-luck Trustees on the final night to win both the League Championship and the overall Grand Championship. Not only did the Treasurers win both – they were also crowned the A-Division Champs, completing the rare Triple Crown of the Knights of Columbus Wednesday Night Bowling League. The team (pictured at right), led by first-time captain Mike Williams, was comprised of John Conrad, Chris Detzler and his father, Mike, and Peter “I can’t miss on the 50-50 strike” Leduc. B-Division winners were the Guards, led by Mike Szabo, and teamed by Chris Banasch, Hank Bauer, John “J.J.” Jackson, Brian Schmalz while the C-Division winners were the Wardens, captained by Vernon Schaefer and helmed by Al Evans, Harold Schmitt, Jamie Brown, and Tom Miller. Congratulations to all three division champions for a wonderful season and a well-conducted playoff. In fact, the Wardens had the overall pin count with 17,021 – remarkable given the limited time for playoffs. They deserve a hand for a great total. Individual winners were: High Average: Mike George Sr. with a 207 average High Single: Jamie Reaume with a 309 High Triple: Mike Psutka, with a 729 (winners were Brian George with a 789 and Mike George Sr. with a 750) High Triple (with handicap): Brian George with a 942 (789 plus a 153 handicap) High Single (with handicap): Grant Ueberschlag with a 362 (306 plus a 56 handicap) High Single Team Triple (with handicap): Chancellors with 3781 (just 30 points above the Guards at 3751) High Team Single (with handicap): Trustees with 1314 (merely two points ahead of the Squires with 1312 and the Guards with 1306) A couple of quick notes, there were two added teams to the league this year and the overall standings (and total points) were: 1. Treasurers (664.5) 2. Trustees (639.5) 3. Deputies (606.5) 4. Squires (566.5) 5. Lecturers (558.5) 6. Guards (541.0) 7. Advocates (536.5) 8. Chancellors (497.5) 9. Grands (494.5) 10. Secretaries (468.0) 11. Knights (459.0) 12. Wardens (459.0) It was an exciting year, and an exciting finish, and filled with memories for years to come. We had a number of new players but the league realizes that there will be retirement openings coming up this year – and therefore, WE WELCOME ANY AND ALL NEW PLAYERS TO COME FORWARD FOR THE UPCOMING SEASON in September 2010. If you are interested, contact Flynn Reaume at 519-744-3644 or via e-mail at freaume@sympatico.ca.
