Joint Start
Detroit Maccabi team in three
directions in August.
Steve Stein
Special to the Jewish News
T
he 2010 JCC Maccabi Games
will present unprecedented
challenges for delegation
heads like Detroit's Karen Gordon.
That's because three cities will host
the Games at the same time. Denver,
Colo., Omaha, Neb., and Richmond,
Va., will be hosts Aug. 1-6. Baltimore
will host the Games the following
week, Aug. 8-13.
Normally, the Games are staggered
over three or four weeks, which makes
planning easier.
"It will be difficult, but it is what
it is," Gordon said. "Scheduling three
Games in the same week isn't by
design, believe me. That was the week
those cities could host the Games."
Gordon has been involved in the
Games for 24 years. She said this is
the first time three cities have hosted
at the same time. "We've had two at a
time, but never three she said.
Gordon said Detroit athletes will
head to Denver, Richmond and
Baltimore. Which teams will go where
hasn't been determined.
In the meantime, interested Detroit
athletes, families and volunteers are
asked to contact Gordon at (248) 432-
5482 or kgordon@jccdet.org . For more
information, check out www.maccabi-
detroit org.
This will be the third time that
Omaha, Richmond and Baltimore will
host the Games, but it will be a first
for Denver.
The folks at the Denver JCC have
already gotten into the spirit of the
Games, dubbing the Mile High City the
"Mile Chai City" and referring to the
Games as "Rachmanus in the Rockies."

The 2010 Maccabi ArtsFest, a celebra-
tion of the arts, will be held in Baltimore
and San Rafael, Calif., Aug. 8-13.
800 Series
Is it more difficult to bowl a 300 game
or 800 series? Lyle Schaefer, who has
done both during his 25-year career
on the lanes, says there no doubt it's
an 800 series.
"I've bowled five 300 games, and
none have come during an 800
series:' the Southfield resident said.
"It's very difficult to stay focused for
three games. I've seen guys bowl a
150 after a 300."
Schaefer, 51,
has three 800
series to his
credit in addi-
tion to the 300
games. The lat-
est was a 290-
234-279-803
last month in
the Suburban
Lakes League
Lyle Schaefer
at Drakeshire
Lanes in
Farmington Hills.
After finishing the first game with
11 consecutive strikes, Schaefer
began the second game with three
straight strikes. Following back-to-
back open frames — his first of the
series — Schaefer threw strikes the
rest of the game.
Another open frame to start the
third game left Schaefer with no mar-
gin for error if he wanted to get his
800 series. He did what he needed to
do, throwing 11 straight strikes.
"It was one of those days where it
feels like you're bowling into a wide
pocket, just like a baseball player on
a hitting hot streak says it looks like
he's hitting a beach ball," Schaefer
said.
Two of Schaefer's three 800 series
have been 803. He bowled 834 in
2007 in the University Men's League
at Country Lanes in Farmington
Hills.
