(May 10, 2016) – Professional Bowlers Association Hall of Famer Pete Weber continued his torrid 2016 PBA50 Tour campaign Tuesday night, winning the Johnny Petraglia BVL Open presented by Brunswick at Farmingdale Lanes for a record-tying third consecutive PBA50 Tour title. Weber again dominated the field of 50-and-older players to earn the top berth in the stepladder finals, but he narrowly escaped with a 223-204 victory over Brian LeClair of Delmar, N.Y., when LeClair left a pocket 7-10 split on his first shot in the 10th frame. With his win, Weber tied the PBA50 Tour record for consecutive titles set by Tom Baker of King, N.C., in 2006. With his seventh career PBA50 Tour title, Weber also broke a personal tie with his late fa- Saturday October 12th ther, who won six PBA50 titles. Weber also noted he won the first Johnny Petraglia Open, held on the PBA Tour at Brunswick Zone Carolier in N. Brunswick, N.J., 25 years ago. Thus far in 2016, Weber – the reigning PBA50 Player of the Year – has a fourth-place finish in the season-opening Pasco County Florida Open followed by consecutive titles in the UnitedHealthcare Sun Bowl in The Villages in Florida and the Mooresville Ford Open in North Carolina. Weber will try for his fourth consecutive title in the Suncoast PBA Senior U.S. Open at Suncoast Bowling Center in Las Vegas, May 30-June 3, where Weber also is defending champion. “I’ve won a couple titles in a row, maybe made a show the next week, but I’ve never won three in a MAMA’S LET YOUR BABIES GROW UP TO BE BOWLERS! to CloseOPENING!

Unlike many PBA players, Weber was watching when LeClair threw his ill-fated shot in the 10th frame. “I always watch,” he said. “When Brian let it go, I thought, I just lost.

Even to the point of having a bloody thumb or becoming tired, he did not want to stop and would keep practicing.

Team members (left to right) Scott Filipi, Jeff Lewen and Nathan Bischop. JEFF LEWEN’S TEAM REPEATS by Frank Weiler MURRIETA — Jeff Lewen’s team (Logo Joe’s) dominated this years 640 Scratch League regular season, winning three of four blocks and outpointing the second highest winning team by a whopping 82 points, in the overall standings. The team went “WIRE TO WIRE” and “DOMINATED” the field. Their performance reminded me of the HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS and how that team dominated their opponents one season by winning over 300 games without a loss! Logo Joe’s had an outstanding regular season because they outscored everyone. Their team averaged 659 per game (scratch trio) which was 19 pins higher than the league entering cap (640) and 18 pins higher than the next highest scoring team (Denny’s at 641). The team also boasted the leagues high individual average (Jeff Lewen’s 234) and “MOST IMPROVED BOWLER”, Nathan Bischop, who improved on his entering average by 19 pins, from 201 to 220. “THE NUMBERS DON’T LIE”. They tell a tale of “DOMINATION”. Of course, the regular season doesn’t necessarily translate into a league championship. The Cal Oaks 640 Scratch Trio League has a step ladder Roll-Off to determine it’s champion. The regular season merely sets the table for the Roll-Off. Logo Joe’s dominant regular season “only” meant they would be the top seed in the Roll-Off. They still had to win a one game match against the team that advanced up the step ladder finals, to become league champion. The Roll-Off was exciting as usual. The competition started at 7:30 PM with seven teams bidding for the title and only one standing at 1 AM. John Sowell led his Froyoland team to two early match wins and with the help of teammates Seng Tong and Jerry DeYager a tie in their third match. Froyoland had their third match won but a five count by them in the tenth frame led to the tie. Sowell’s team lost the tie breaking match game to Temecula Chiropractic even though Seng Tong fired a huge 266 on the challenging oil pattern. Jim Barnes and Alan Freeman led the chiropractors to victory in this protracted match, with Barnes just missing a “VARIPAPA 300”. Tony Bowman then led the chiropractors to an easy win over Kelly Jones’ contingent with a big 279. Tony’s bid for a perfect game was thwarted by a solid ten pin on his tenth shot. Tony’s game was the high score of the night. In the semi-final match the chiropractors expired. None of the trio could muster up a deuce and they fell to the second seeded Cal Oaks Bowl threesome of Paul Nilsen, Robert Gould and Jeremy Worthley.

THE PRO ZONE 310-533-9595 XLanes - Bowling “B” Mechanic Wanted May 19, 2016 NORTON’S BOWLING NEWS continued from page 1 him. Scott was in awe not only of Mom and her great bowling talent but also the women bowlers from the 70’s and 80’s he grew up watching. These women became his role models because “they knew not only how to have a good time, but also how to exhibit great sportsmanship; that is, they were able to still be friends after competing which is something I always looked up to and have always striven for.” Before long he was involved in junior leagues and the endless hours of practicing continued until he dropped or his hand fell off. He also enjoyed the sports of t-ball and then baseball and soccer but his real passion was always bowling.As he grew up, he became a serious student in school and bowling practice was only done when he could find the time. But, during the summer, he was at the Brunswick Rossmoor Bowl almost every day. Being Mom worked at this center, she would have his equipment in her car so he could ride his bike three miles from home to the center and bowl at least a couple of hours and then ride back home. His first ball was a Brunswick, since Mom was under contract with them. Mom kind of stayed out of the picture as his coach as Scott bowled for many years without much help from her. She made it clear she would be more than happy to help, but he needed to come and ask her for help. Virginia was very sensitive to this issue as she had seen many parents coach their children and then if the child had a tough practice, it would go home with them, and saw many kids feel this pressure and lose interest. Scott came to Mom when he was about 12 or 13 and asked her for help after he struggled at a tournament. And the Mom-Son bond with bowling began. Luckily with them living in Southern CA, Scott was fortunate at the time to have exposure to a great junior bowling program--JAT. Then, Scott was drafted onto a team in the Junior All-Star Travel league. This league bowled on Sunday afternoons and JAT bowled every other weekend on Sunday mornings, so the kids would go from tournament to league and Scott bowled all the JAT tournaments. Scott was too young to drive when he first started bowling JAT and Junior All-Stars, so Mom was his ride. When he Page 3 started driving, Mom still went and watched most of the time. (Virginia had also been a member of the same LA Junior All-Stars when she was a youth bowler and then was elected to the So. Calif. Junior All-Star team a couple of years before she turned adult.) Scott’s youth bowling accomplishments started racking up and he never looked back. The passion continues through today. He went on to be named the Chuck Hall Star of Tomorrow and California State Star of Tomorrow while he was still in high school. He then went on to become Junior Gold Champion and on to Junior Team USA, then won the National Amateur Championships and was on Team USA a year later. The accomplishments kept mounting as the years flew by. His professional career was emerging as well. He started at Cal State Fullerton and then finished his undergrad at the University of Utah. Virginia always felt it was extremely important to have a college degree and stressed this all along. She was pleased, and a little surprised, when Scott decided to go to law school, but thought it was great! He graduated from Hastings School of Law in 2009, took his bar and passed it on his first try and now has his own law firm (Norton and Associates). Virginia, 64, is a legend who is a member of the USBC Hall of Fame and the PWBA Hall of Fame, which are the two honors she is most proud of. In addition to that, she is also in the CUSBC Hall of Fame and several local Hall of Fames. She bowled in the PWBA when it was thriving which drove her to become as good as she could be to compete. Something she obviously instilled in Scott. She added she is “thrilled the PWBA is finally back.” Scott, 34, is having much success bowling PBA tournaments all around the world and is currently competing in the PBA League Elias Cup on the winning team of GEICO New York City WTT Kingpins along with teammates Mike Fagan, John Szczerbinski, Marshall Kent and Pete Weber. The mom-and-son bond they have is very special and bowling is one important part. Scott added, “It’s not often that a person is blessed to have a mother who is a Hall of Famer, but even less often that same mother would want to be behind their son for every shot if they could. So I’d like to say thank you for being there through my entire career and always believing in me.” ADULT/SENIOR VIP DOUBLES BOWLING TOURNAMENT +Entry Fee: $25 per person +Tournament Cost $50 + +JULY 16, 2016 / 12:00 PM + CONTACT: JESSE J.

Eldous was the top qualifier at semis and had the opportunity to sit out and watch who will challenge him for the championship. The qualifying cut scores were Men +76 and Women +67. Top qualifiers to receive a paid entry to any regular ABTA tournament were Ubuild Lenon +127 and Sylvia Serrano +78.

Now it’s Jeje Gabriel against Bobbie McCollum to see who will meet the top qualifier, Eldous Chan. The match started pretty slow from both bowlers, but Bobbie missed a few spares and Jeje picked up his A-game and started striking finishing with 190 against Bobbie’s 150. Bobbie’s third place paid $200. The championship match started with Eldous striking the first two frames, opened the next two, found his stride and marked all the way. Meantime, Jeje started with 6-8-10 split picking up 8-10, but he steadied himself and marked all the way since it was only few pins separating them. Jeje had a strike in the 9th frame and needed the first strike in the 10th to win, threw a good ball but did not carry. Eldous finished with a 248 (L-R) Arnold Agoncillo, Bobbie McCollum 3rd $200, Eddie (Bonnie’s fiancée), Bonnie Chan 9th $105, Ella & Eldous Chan, Champion $1,000, Jeje Gabriel 2nd $500 and Annaliza Agoncillo with handicap game to Jeje’s 240 game.

Curry gave himself an early birthday present by drilling his first 300 game last week at Winnetka Bowl. Curry, who will be celebrating his 33rd birth- Joe Curry bowled a 300 in the middle game of his 728 series, his day May 22, had repeatedly first perfecto. Photo by Fred Eisenhammer flirted with a perfect game, once blasting a 287. This time the right-handed Curry left nothing to chance with 12 pocket shots. “I was really happy,” said Curry, who won the Los Angeles city tournament title for juniors in 2000. “In fact, I was ecstatic, to say the least. I finally got it under my belt. I was hoping it would be sooner rather than later.” Curry finished with a 728 series (201, 300, 227) during competition in the Tuesday “Guys and Dolls” league. Curry admitted that he was nervous on his last shot. “I’m surprised I didn’t drop the ball,” he said with a laugh. “All I wanted was to make it a good shot.” What was the best part about rolling a 300? “Probably just being in an elite group of players who have done that,” said Curry, whose father and brother both own perfect games. Curry averages 204 and bowls anchor for his team. He’s been averaging over 200 for the past four years. Curry and teammate Mike Hahn have provided a potent 1-2 punch for about five seasons. Interestingly, Hahn missed Curry’s history-making effort because he was vacationing in Hawaii. “I told him he probably got it [300] because I wasn’t there. I would have been a distraction,” joked Hahn by phone from Hawaii. Curry is one of the most popular and gracious players in the “Guys and Dolls” league. He is mellow whether he’s stringing strikes or leaving spares (rarely). Carol Tucker, another of Curry’s teammates, expressed sentiments that probably many in the league felt about his perfect game. “Watching Joe bowl his first 300 game has been a dream of mine for about seven years,” Tucker said. “Being his teammate has been a true blessing for me. Joe has always encouraged me & always made it known that bowling with a fun group of connected friends is more important to him. Joe’s bowling is smooth & he makes it look effortless. I call it ‘cool.’ ’’ Added Tucker: “I was so happy his mom was there to see it. I would bet money that this won’t be Joe’s last 300 – just the first of many.” On his final shot, Curry noticed a distinct change around his bowling lanes. “I was surprised how quiet it was,” he said. The quiet ended with a raucous cheer and extended celebration when Curry put the finishing touches on his perfect game. “I was really grateful to the league for the way everyone reacted,” said Curry, a Northridge resident. “It was very memorable.

I wanted to change it. But now I have a Pepsi tattoo and collect everything Pepsi,” adding that she even has a gleaned from five years of covering the sport: Pepsi bowling ball. Keith Kitti, looking back at the May 31, 2009 closing of AMF Rocket Bowl in Chatsworth where he worked as the facility manager: “The center was part of the ‘Golden Age of Bowling.’ And it just added another chapter to the end of the era. It wasn’t so much a business as a gathering of friends. It was a watering hole of sorts. It was a place where the same people gathered for 52 weeks a year and they would come not planning to spend a dime as much as to engage and talk. When the center closed, that part of the Valley lost a watering hole of people wanting to gather. As a result, it took a toll on a lot of close-knit friendships.” Bob Edwards had to sweep aside all preconceived notions when Kamie Katzarska, looking on the bright side after he entered the bowling industry barely failing to break into triple figures during a league Longtime bowling General Manager Bob Edwards, re- game: “Ninety-nine. That’s almost 100.” Marshall Winer, on bowling on the same league team membering how his 40-year career began: “I wanted to be in the bowling industry, which my father was in. He told as the high-scoring trio of Ray Plasse, Jerry Simmons and me, ‘If you want to run a bowling business, you have to Shawn Zaer: “Whenever someone asks me what my handknow how to do everything yourself. So this week, you’re icap is, I say, ‘It’s me.’ ” Justin Adams, on bowling his first 300 game: “It was going to be the janitor.’ And he handed me a mop.” Jerry Simmons, on using his rubber bowling ball ex- one of the coolest feelings. The last shots were gut-wrenchclusively for 50 years: “I fully expect one day to throw the ball down there and it will split in half.” Mike Weekley, who has rolled 10 perfect games: “I would like to say that anyone who has confidence in what they are doing can get a 300 whenever they want.” Michelle Gardner, on nearly outscoring her son and ace bowler, Richie, when she bowled a career-high 219 in league play: “It was one of the first times we had bowled against each other. There was a lot of excitement with everyone looking at me trying to get my first 200. If I had struck out in the 10th frame, I would have beaten my son. I don’t know if we could have gone home together. He would never have been able to live that down.” Randy Silverman, on watching the late Andy Varipapa John Dela Rionda found his stride in the 10th frame perform a one-man, trick-shot exhibition at Mission Hills Bowl about 55 years earlier: “One thing that stands out in ing. I literally took a lap around the bowling alley.” John Dela Rionda: on his electrifying three strikes in my mind is that he set up the 7-10 split with one pin (the seven) on one lane and another pin (the 10) on the lane to the 10th frame by moving four boards to the right after a his right. He used two bowling balls, one in each hand, woeful first nine frames: “When things aren’t working, and he released the balls and they would cross each other. you have to do something.” Gail Marlis, on switching to her left hand after incurOne ball would pick up the seven pin on the lane he was on and the other would cross the lane and pick up the 10 pin. ring an injury to her right (throwing) arm: “Not bowling is not an option.” He was spectacular.” Gail Marlis, again, on what bowling means to her: Theo Sojourn, on bowlers’ resilience: “Heart attacks, strokes and people come back to bowl. It’s just amazing “Bowling is like my play date with my friends.” Hollywood icon Susan Sarandon, promoting her that some people can get hurt and they have a chance in worldwide ping-pong social clubs while at the same time bowling to come back.” Sami Rice, calling her husband Mike’s mental out- taking a paddle to bowling: “You don’t have to wear look a factor in his 288 game in which he opened with 10 someone else’s shoes.” Top women’s bowling pro Diandra Asbaty, standing strikes: “He keeps bowling better each year. He’s never bowled this well. He just doesn’t take the game as seri- up for her sport: “I’ve been practicing since I was 5 years old and I’ve been playing tournaments. I sweat. I throw a ously as he did in his 100-some years of bowling.” Pepsi Kuntz, on her first name: “I used to hate it. It 15-pound ball. I fail and I win. I want bowling to get the was hard as a kid because adults and kids would make fun respect it deserves.” WP continued from page 1 newspaper reported. “We knew the property was for sale. I know they recently dropped the price and that’s probably the reason it finally sold,” Vidad said. “Our landlord offered to sell the property to us but it was way too much for us. We aren’t investors. We don’t generate that kind of money to be able to purchase the property. “It’s disappointing, but we knew it would sell at some point. It’s just unfortunate that this happened just as business was booming. This happened when we got the business up and going to finally become self-sufficient over the past couple of months.” The original Revolutions Entertainment Center closed its doors abruptly in December 2011 because the owners failed to obtain long-term financing, according to the Desert Dispatch. Vidad and her team signed a lease to operate the then-defunct bowling center in 2013. Vidad, one of the top women bowlers in the country, wrote on Facebook that “all good things must come to an end and sadly our lease will not be picked up by the new owner. Going to miss what we’ve built in Barstow with the great TEAM of employees that I consider family. “Our bar-nightclub business is finally booming. Our last four months surpassed our whole first year in business. “I’m going to miss our league bowlers and new bowlers we’ve developed into lifelong fans of our game/sport! And all those people that came to enjoy our beautiful sports bar and dance floor! Thank you Barstow!” Revolutions Barstow Bowl serves the high-desert area, which includes such cities as Barstow and Victorville. Earlier this month, it was reported that Del Rosa Lanes in San Bernardino was set to close. California has been hard hit by the seemingly neverending drumbeat of closings of bowling centers. One of the biggest losses came one year ago when venerable Mission Hills Bowl in the San Fernando Valley closed on May 31. The bowling center, which was run by the late Bill Mossontte, had been open for nearly 41 years. Several other California bowling centers also closed in 2015, including the distinctive Wagon Wheel Bowl in Oxnard, which had been in business in Ventura County since the 1950s. 1 6 7 2 5 8 6 2 3 1 3 2 7 8 6 9 5 1 5 3 6 4 4 3 6 7 1 Western Pacific Bowling Supply, Inc. 9 2 6 3 4 7 Serving Bowling Centers on the West Coast Since 1994 1216 W.

In 1972, while bowling in a tournament in Southern Florida, he even won a brand-new car. He spent many a weekend driving all over the country competing in bowling tournaments. His interests in these tournaments grew into a passion that he carried with him for many years until he finally realized that his experiences as a tournament bowler could help him to build a successful business in the bowling industry. He moved his family back to California in 1975, and within a couple of years he committed all of his time and efforts into operating the biggest and best bowling tournaments in the country. He founded the Amateur Bowlers Tour (ABT) in Orange County, California and eventually developed it into a nationwide franchise with 36 offices nationwide. Ken’s passion and hard work for the bowling business was unparalleled, and the ABT was thriving with massive tournaments and huge prize funds being paid out. During the height of its popularity, Ken and Sylvia Daleiden were operating tournaments and opening new ABT offices across the country until Sylvia’s sudden death in 1993. Ken continued to operate the ABT until he sold the franchise system in 2004. Although Ken was officially retired in 2004, he did continue to help his son, John, in the operation of ABT Orange Country for a couple of years. In his retirement he also found time to bowl on occasion and enjoy time spent with his wife, Rose. He and Rose shared a common interest in bowling and his other passion, classic cars. They would spend numerous hours each day working on their cars together and getting them ready for car shows. Ken’s health started to decline when he developed problems with his kidneys and had to go to dialysis three time a week. During the final years of his life, Ken was able to recount so many great memories of a life filled with great friends, many of them coming from years running the Amateur Bowlers Tour (ABT). Ken was a generous, loving, father, grandfather and husband and he will be greatly missed. A memorial service will be held at Westminster Memorial Park on Wednesday, May 18th from 5pm – 8pm. It will be a time to celebrate the life of a great man, my dad. BOWLING NEWS WEBER continued from page 1 And Weber said his confidence will be soaring when he goes for a fourth consecutive title in Las Vegas in a couple of weeks. “You know me and the majors. I love the majors,” he said. “Having 17 days off before we bowl in Vegas is a big advantage to me. I’ll be relaxed and ready to win again.” LeClair, in his second year of PBA50 competition, dominated the early matches, tripping PBA Hall of Famers Tom Baker of King, N.C., 258-247, and Walter Ray Williams Jr. of Oxford, Fla., 221-205, in the first two matches. LeClair then won a battle of New Yorkers in the semifinal contest, eliminating Ray Edwards of Middle Island, 238184. The second Petraglia BVL Open, like its predecessor, raised nearly $50,000 in support of the nation’s military veterans. “If we can keep raising that kind of money for the people who are protecting us every day, that’s what it’s all about,” Petraglia said. The entire tournament was video-streamed live on PBA’s Xtra Frame online bowling channel. The PBA50 Tour’s next Xtra Frame’s event will be the Suncoast PBA Senior U.S. Open from Las Vegas, May 30-June 3.

REDLANDS — April 22, 2016 was a great day for Jerry Kelly. The “Bowling Gods” checked Empire Bowl for a guy to shower a few strikes on. And there was Jerry, (who has had strings of strikes before) a fellow who deserved to be blessed with 12 perfect hits. One more for the over 70 gray gander.
