November 4 - 10, 2009

J o a n Ta y l o r ’ s Te n P i n R a p . . . . In December of 2000 I wrote about a young man one year after he had a double lung transplant. He had been born with Cystic Fibrosis, and after a three-year wait, he traveled to the University of Pittsburgh Medical center for the surgery. He was out of bed and walking three days later. But that’s not why I interviewed him. He had posted his first 800 series, an 838 including a 300 game. Before the surgery, he couldn’t put in a full league season for the previous five years. He was approached to bowl in the Transplant Olympics and did himself proud there, winning his division. Eventually after the procedure, he rolled his highest series ever, an 846 to cash in the grueling and prestigious US Open. And now we fast-forward and find that in October of 2008 the organs that gave him new life had been failing, necessitating the process all over again. This time he said, “It was much rougher. I was on my back in the hospital for three months and then I needed four months of physical therapy” But his raw determination and cards and letters from friends got him back again to the world of bowling, running a pro shop, and coaching. This is Al Jones, 43, who in September of this year and also one month later, bowled 300 games in his vacation league at Sparta Lanes. Like Chevy Chase in “Caddyshack” he doesn’t keep score or records. He may have had 20 or 200 games of 300. The owner of Pro Image Pro Shop at Sparta Lanes, Jones is going to

return to bowl in PBA Regional competition in the spring. His highest finish to date has been third, no small task. By the way, for his latest perfectos, he used a ball drilled by…Al Jones. Amazing! Speaking of amazing, Sandy Turner, who rolled her first 300 in January of this year, did it again. This time it was in the Kings and Queens League at Circle Lanes (her first was at Rockaway Lanes). She rolled 224199-300 for a 723 series. Her high to date is 753. She is still in pursuit of an 800. She was not nervous “and in fact this time all the strikes were good this time. Turner, Wharton, celebrated her 25th anniversary in September with the Hartford Insurance Company. She again chose a ring for her achievement. *************** The Morris County USBC Bowling Association is hosting the 57th Annual League Officers’ Doubles Tournament. This will be on Sunday December 6 with squads at 10 a.m. and 12 noon at Plaza Lanes in Madison. Cost is $55 per team or $27.50 per bowler. Entries close November 22. This is open to all officers of men’s women’s and mixed winter and summer leagues sanctioned through the county. Teams may consist of two men, two women, or mixed pairs. Entry forms are available in local bowling centers or on the association’s website (http://www.mcbanjbowling.com/). For more information contact tournament director Noel J. Colwell, 78C Buckingham Drive, Manchester, NJ 08759 or call 862-221-2856.

Sports Reporter Editor/Publisher -

By Al Smetana WAYNE, NJ - Chris Romeo was the big gun in the week 2 session of Our Lady of the Valley at TBowl II as he rolled a 270 game en route to a 727 series, closely followed by Rob Gilbert at 265-711.

Now is the time to advertise that Special Event in the

Sports Reporter Now advertise that Special Event and the ad doesn’t have to be big! SEE?

Each year there are a few cases where the prize funds have been misplaced or misused. This can happen only if the league officers do not do their job properly. The treasurer is in charge of the funds, but an important part of the duties of the president is to make monthly audits of the league funds. The United States Bowling Congress has bonding programs to protect the funds but certain procedures must be followed. Too often the work of league officers receives too little acclaim. The league secretary must compile all the stats, high games, high series, averages and all the rest, and make sure the schedule proceeds properly. The treasurer must see to the collection and disbursement of league fees. And the president, with the guidance of team captains, is in charge of the overall operation of all league activities. So it's important to choose interested and capable persons to the important league offices. League prize funds range from a few hundred dollars to some with prize payoffs of more than $50,000. Added all together the total runs into hundreds of millions of dollars. Toss in the tournament prize money for some 10,000 tournaments each year, and the operating balances of more than 5,000 bowling associations, and you can see that there's always a billion or more dollars coming into or going out of various bowling accounts. For the most part it's money generated by bowlers, so they should know that for the most part, it’s well protected and well spent. It wasn't too many decades ago when... Many churches, firehouses, and fraternal organization club

houses housed two or four lanes, and church, fireman, policeman and industrial and fraternal leagues abounded. There were few youngsters bowling because in places such as New York City you couldn't even enter a bowling center unless you were 18 or older. A boy wonder was someone who could average 190 before he was old enough to vote and a 10-year American Bowling Congress tournament average of 190 put you with the elite. No woman had ever rolled a sanctioned 800 series and the total number of approved 300 games each season by females seldom reached double figures. Head to head match games were the order of the day, and top stars often rolled 40, 60 and 80 game home and home matches(that is where half the games were bowled in each teams center). No league or tournament would consider anything but five players on a team. Some even went to six and as high as 10 on a team. Bowling pins were made of wood, inside and out. High top bowling shoes were the norm for men. All bowling shirts for men came in long sleeves and if you wanted short sleeves you went to a tailor or someone handy with a needle. Trophies were constructed of real wood, real metals, and the lettering was done by hand. The most given award was belt buckles. And also popular were watch fobs, while some tournaments specialized in presenting winners with live turkeys and pigs. A bowling ball bag was constructed to hold and carry a bowling ball, and it might just have room for a pair of bowling shoes because it never was intended as a suitcase.

WHY IS IT ??? A man wakes up after sleeping under an ADVERTISED blanket on an ADVERTISED mattress and pulls off ADVERTISED pajamas bathes in an ADVERTISED shower shaves with an ADVERTISED razor brushes his teeth with ADVERTISED toothpaste washes with ADVERTISED soap puts on ADVERTISED clothes drinks a cup of ADVERTISED coffee drives to work in an ADVERTISED car and then...... refuses to advertise believing it doesn't pay. Later when business is poor he advertises it for sale. WHY IS IT ???

U.S. Women’s Open Revised Again and Now in Texas for 2010 ARLINGTON, Texas - With a revised format and live televised finals, the U.S. Women's Open, a United States Bowling Congress event, will return in 2010 with the qualifying and match-play rounds hosted by Cityview Lanes, a 64-lane center in Fort Worth, Texas. The competition at Cityview Lanes, which will be held May 6-11, kicks off a series of major bowling events in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The 2010 USBC Hall of Fame dinner will take place May 11 at the City Club in downtown Fort Worth, while the 2010 USBC Hall of Fame induction ceremony will take place May 12 on the grounds of the International Bowling Campus in Arlington. Following the Hall of Fame ceremony, the live televised finals of the U.S. Women's Open will take place at the International Training and Research Center in Arlington at 6:30 p.m. CDT on ESPN2. For the first time since returning in 2007, the U.S. Women's Open will feature round-robin match play. Players will compete in three eight-game blocks from May 7-9 with the top 24 players advancing to match play May 10-11. The four players with the best 48-game totals, including match-play bonus pins, will compete in the live stepladder finals. "Match play is a traditional part of major bowling tournaments, and this format is more representative of a true U.S. Women's Open test," USBC Vice President of Media Pete Tredwell said. "And having one live TV finals show instead of five taped TV finals shows creates additional excitement while being more cost effective." Tammy Boomershine of North Ogden, Utah, topped a field of 170 players, including 59 international competitors, to win the 2009 event, which was held at Strike Zone Bowling Center inside the Sunset Station Hotel and Casino in Henderson, Nev. The qualifying and match play portions of the 2010 U.S. Women's Open will shift to Cityview

Lanes, the largest center in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. "This will bring a lot of prestige for us," Cityview General Manager Bill Blackerby said. "It's an opportunity for us to show off the new look we have at the center." In conjunction with the U.S. Women's Open, USBC will conduct its Hall of Fame ceremony outdoors and separate from its annual tournament or convention venue for the first time. "Our goals in moving the inductions to Arlington are to spotlight the new International Bowling Museum and Hall of Fame and International Bowling Campus while possibly growing the event into something big every year," Tredwell said. "The inspiration for this idea comes from the annual baseball and pro football ceremonies. Those venues allow for large crowds and major media coverage. Plus having it the same day as the U.S. Women's Open brings more focus to both events." The Veterans and Meritorious Service part of the class of 2010 will be announced in November with the Superior Performance inductees to follow in December or January.

Lynda Barnes to Retire from Team USA Program ARLINGTON, Texas - Lynda Barnes, the most tenured and one of the most successful bowlers in the history of the Team USA program, will retire from Team USA at the end of the year. Barnes of Double Oak, Texas, has been a member of Team USA a record 12 times and will step aside to spend more time with her family. "I think it is time to focus more on my life and on my children," said Barnes, 42, who is married to professional bowling star Chris Barnes and has twin 7-year-old boys, Ryan and Troy. "When Troy was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes last year, it really changed the way I started to look at things. "We are now very involved with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) and that has given me something to focus my attention on. Plus, I don't want to miss anymore of watching the kids play baseball, bowling or basketball." Barnes first joined Team USA in 1989 and left the program twice (1992 and 1998) to turn pro but has been on the team since 2005. After she returned from her short professional bowling stints, Barnes returned to win the U.S. Amateur title each time, claiming the title in 1995 and 2005 and then again in 2007. In international competition, Barnes has won dozens of medals, including winning the QubicaAMF World Cup in 2005 and a gold medal in team event at the 1991 Pan American Games. Though she's retiring from Team USA action, Barnes will not give up the sport entirely. She plans to continue bowling leagues and local tournaments, while also gearing up for a couple of big events each year. Barnes said she plans to compete in the United States Bowling Congress Queens, U.S. Women's Open and USBC Women's Championships on an annual basis and perhaps other events as well. "There's a big difference between bowling for your country and bowling for yourself," said Barnes, who won the Queens in 1998 and 2008. "When I'm bowling for Team USA, that's a year-long commitment in terms of training. When I'm bowling for myself, I can put as much or as little into it as my time allows." Barnes will remain a Team USA member through the end of 2009. She will also continue to stay active in the sport as a member of the USBC Board of Directors.
