Box 4160, Downey, CA 90241 • Online: www.californiabowlingnews.com • Email: news@californiabowlingnews.com • Office: (562) 807-3600 Fax: (562) 807-2288 Tri-Senates Championship Just A Few Weeks Away by Maurice Hultz LAKEWOOD — Bowlers don’t wait!! Entries are starting to flow in. Our Tri-Senate Championship Tournament has sold out three years in a row. If you want to secure your specific squad times, now is the time. The word is rapidly spreading throughout the bowling world about this exceptional tournament being held one big weekend, Saturday and Sunday, April 11-12, 2015 at Cal Bowl, in Lakewood, California. Last year we had bowlers all the way from Ohio with a team from Las Vegas Nevada winning the grand first place prize money of $15,000.00. The $15,000.00 first prize is guaranteed based on 165 entries and going into our 4th Annual we are expecting to exceed last year’s entries of 171. Yes, this tournament is open to all USBC/TNBA bowlers. However, if you are a current USBC member but not a TNBA member; you may still bowl in this premier event by simply purchasing the TNBA annual membership card for an additional $20. You may include your annual membership purchase with your entry form. Therefore, virtually EVERYONE is welcome to bowl! This tournament is designed to attract bowlers from all skill levels, including “rec- reational bowlers,” “senior bowlers” (over age 55) as well as the high average bowlers! This is a handicap tournament that is based on 100% of the difference between the team entering average and 1050. The maximum team entering average is 1050 which is designed to make sure a team cannot consist of more than just a few high average bowlers. Teams whose total entering average is 900 or less, will be in the running for bonus prize money for the highest scoring teams in that category. Also, bonus prize money will be awarded to the highest scoring all senior teams. The bonus team prize pay offs will be based on the total number of entries. Our tournament offers multiple ways to cash, especially within that squad. Every squad bowler will have the opportunity to participate in the optional flat fee round robin “sweepstakes” doubles event, allowing bowlers to compete as doubles partner with all others selecting that option for that squad. Brackets and side pots will also be offered and paid immediately after the squad. The round robin will be paid out with the regular prize fund. Bowlers are allowed to participate multiple times as continued on page 4 BHonor owlingRoll News Name Score adrian williams 300 ashley dunn 710 rick festa 300 YA YA Castillo 300 john perry 801 eddie vandaniker 810 brandon kraye 800 sandy jones 300/771 russell booth 300 marty matus 300 michelle silver 714 Anthony Pavlowsky 300 Date Center 03-06-15palos verdes bowl 03-09-15bruns vista lanes 03-09-15 Palm Springs Lanes 03-10-15Del Rio lanes 03-10-15 classic lanes 03-11-15 harleys simi bowl 03-12-15la habra 300 bowl 03-14-15harleys valley bowl 03-15-15winnetka bowl 03-15-15 arrowhead lanes 03-15-15winnetka bowl 03-15-15winnetka bowl L.A. X, Silver Lake Atom Splitters Gear Up For Third PBA League Season by Fred Eisenhammer NORWALK — So what can the Los Angeles X and Silver Lake (Calif.) Atom Splitters do for an encore in the Professional Bowlers Assn. League? The two local teams will find it a challenge to duplicate their rousing performance in 2014 – the PBA League’s second season. After both teams slogged through a dismal season in 2013, they wound up in the league championship match last year. Then in the Elias Cup title competition – dubbed “the battle of Los Angeles” – the Atom Splitters claimed the championship with a 4-2 victory behind franchise player Chris Barnes. The new season starts at the end of this month at Bayside Bowl in Portland, Maine, and both L.A. teams will sport vastly different lineups. PBA League rules dictated that the league’s eight teams had to start fresh after the second season so all the teams re-drafted their five-player unit on Oct. 31. Fortunately for the X and the Atom Splitters, they regained the services of their No. 1 bowlers from the previous two years. For the X, that meant Jason Belmonte, the two-time reigning PBA player of the year, will once again be leading the way as the team’s franchise player. For the Atom Splitters, Barnes returns as the team’s top player. continued on page 7 ATTENTION ALL BOWLERS: bowl an honor score THIS WEEK & E-MAIL by MONday Noon YOUR NAME, SCORE, DATE & CENTER & you will be on the front page e-mail to: news@californiabowlingnews.com men: 300 - 800 & 7-10’s Women: 298,299,300, 700+ & 7-10’s Chris Barnes led the Silver Lake Atom Splitters to the PBA League title last year.

How about this scenario? Gun-slinging local bowlers Johnnie Englehart, Bob Englehart, Tyler Baker, Bill Plummer and Elizabeth Fonvergne shoot it out in a high-stakes, stepladder finals at Winnetka Bowl. The winner goes home with a new Honda Civic. It could happen. All five of those elite bowlers have qualified for the semifinals of Winnetka Bowl’s “Win a Honda” tournament that will culminate in the July 26 finals. Of course, there are plenty of other top bowlers who have qualified for the semifinals as well. Those names include bowling thoroughbreds such as Scott Englehart (Johnnie’s son and Bob’s nephew), Frank Martinez Jr. and Kevin Gross. And there are some dark-horse qualifiers such as Teresa Lauer, Rosie Bates, Deanna Peters, Kathy Brening-Ray and Greg Kolski. It’s a handicap tournament so players who have never bowled a perfect game or 800 series have a shot at claiming the top prize. Already, about 70 bowlers have qualified for the semifinals, says Mike Willis, who has served as the Winnetka Bowl manager for 47 years. He expects the June 28 semifinals will consist of about 120 players before it’s whittled down to five for the stepladder finals. The “Win a Honda” drama will gain steam Sunday, March 22 when Winnetka Bowl will hold another in its series of monthly qualifying tournaments, starting at 1 p.m. The top five finishers will join the already existing qualifiers in the semifinals. The competition is open to United States Bowling Congress adult members. Entry fee is $20. For those not acquainted with the stepladder finals, it’s a format that’s often used in some scratch leagues and Professional Bowlers Assn. tournaments. Typically, it involves five bowlers vying for the title. The lowest-ranked bowler, who is seeded fifth, takes on the secondlowest bowler, who is seeded fourth. The loser is eliminated and the winner then takes on the third-seeded bowler, and so on, until the champion is crowned. Thus, the top seed needs to win only one match to become the champion. The lowest-ranked player, by contrast, has to win four matches to claim the title. As for that final day of competition, Willis says, “I think there’ll be a lot of suspense, a lot of excitement. There will be a car waiting at the end of the day.” 3/16/15 3:27 PM Mike Willis, the longtime manager of Winnetka Bowl, is overseeing the “Win a Honda” tournament. The bowling center will host a qualifying tournament Sunday, March 22.

Belmonte opened the game with nine strikes and held off Barnes, 279-259. But the Atom Splitters won the match behind a powerful allaround team that included Bryon Smith, Dom Barrett, Wes Malott and Tommy Jones. Silver Lake’s five bowlers were often referred to as “the Dream Team” because they were so strong from Player 1 through 5. A testament to Silver Lake’s deep bench was the 2015 re-draft. Malott was the second player selected in the re-draft, taken by the Pittsburgh Jack Rabbits. The Atom Splitters then gobbled up Barnes two selections later. And Barrett was selected on the next draft pick – by the Philadelphia Hitmen. That made it three Silver Lake players who were drafted in the first round. Silver Lake manager Mark Baker earned a lot of credit for putting together that league champion. But Silver Lake’s 2015 team doesn’t appear nearly as strong. After Barnes, Silver Lake drafted Mika Koivuniemi, Tom Daugherty, Dick Allen and Craig Nidiffer. It’s a team with plenty of potential but by no means a “Dream Team.” The same goes for the X’s 2015 team. The X have surrounded Belmonte with Stuart Williams, Martin Larsen, Patrick Allen and Andres Gomez. Gomez will be bowling with the X for his third season. The eight league teams begin competition March 2829. ESPN will televise all the rounds of the league competition tape-delayed.

Gregory Jacobs“(better known as Jake”) and teammate Bob DeAlba who “rolled past” their opponents on our Final Position Day February 19th to earn their title as League Champions. While Bob is a very experienced and accomplished high average bowler, Jake had to work hard all season to build his average to a current 159 in his attempt to contribute to their weekly wins. Although the championship was being chased by three or four teams, for most of the season, Jake and Bob managed to stay on top by a very small margin. It boiled down to them winning one of the final three games to capture the title. Although Jake has a 279 Game Award to his credit, this was the first “crown award” for him since being introduced to bowling at age 12. Jake has been a faithful member of our league and has served as League President for over ten years. He is very resourceful in assisting in all areas to help maintain a so-called “family atmosphere” within our league. Jake has a loving wife and four children and serves at one of our local hospitals as a Respiratory Therapist. Pickwick Bowl by Tish 921 Riverside Dr. Burbank, CA 91506 (818) 842-7188 BURBANK — Let me get one thing out of the way right off...”Nice tush, Tish”. Yeah, I said it and now the elephant has escaped the room. Or has it? This has been a very popular greeting repeated to me and I may have to amend my will to include it on my gravestone! Seriously though, I am very pleased with the joy bowlers have expressed after having watched my Justin Beiber episode. After all, it encompassed two things dear to my heart, bowling and fun. Writing this little column every week has brought me great pleasure and again, I have to thank all those that continue to read it and take the time to tell me they do. I am especially pleased when bowlers believe they recognize themselves or fellow bowlers. It takes all of us to keep the passion for the sport growing. I know I am guilty-as-charged for continuing my efforts to entice others into my addiction. I want everyone to enjoy the many benefits of bowling madness. The friends I have made, the things I have learned, the children I have watched grow into adult bowlers are only the nuggets of the motherlode of being a bowler. Dig in everyone!

Fresno, CA—Founded in 1969 by the late, great head coach Glenn Carlson, the Fresno State Bowling Club has produced some of the best bowlers through the years and continues as one of the few colleges in CA to offer a bowling team. This club teaches the fundamentals of the game and competing with integrity. But, like all other organizations, it is tough to keep going without support and that is why former Fresno State Bowling Club alumni, Kiel Jordan, is helping with an effort to conduct a fundraiser to collect some much-needed funds for this club. The Fresno State Bowling Club is a nonprofit organization that represents Fresno State University and the local bowling community. They compete against top ranked bowling teams from across the nation at various locations throughout the United States. Currently both the Men’s and Women’s teams have been invited to bowl for the Collegiate Club Championships which will be held in Arlington Heights, Illinois, coming up April 4-5, 2015. This fundraiser has a goal to raise $13,000 to cover this trip for plane tickets, baggage fees, rental cars, hotel and meals. Please consider helping this club out at this time as they rely heavily on fundraisers and donations throughout the year. These club bowlers are also the role models for the next generation of Bulldog Bowlers! Your donation will be acknowledged in several ways—they will list you on their Facebook page (Fresno State Bowling Club), as well as on any promotional materials they produce. Your donation is also tax deductible as they are a 501C (3) non-profit organization. So, help them today to bring home another title for Fresno State! For anyone wanting to send checks, money orders or cashier’s checks, please make out to “Fresno State Bowling Club” and mail to Fresno State Bowling Club, 5280 N. Jackson Ave. M/S SU 36, Fresno, CA 93740-8023. They also have a PayPal account set up and that address is: https:// www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=GZVWBMAKNJZ88. If you need to get their non-profit Tax ID number for your tax write-off donation, please contact Kiel at kielj559@hotmail.com.
