Our newest champion, Andrew Toro, Sr. is married to Clarissa and has eight children, Andrew, Jr., Mariya, April, Vicky, Clarissa, Rudy, Tina and Floyd. He also has one grandson, David. Andy has been bowling for over 40 years and has 7 300s and 4 800s to his credit. Andy does his league bowling at Morongo Canyon Lanes. Andy was using a Columbia Bedlam drill by Joel at Pins-nNeedles in Hemet Bowl for the win this weekend. Andy wanted to thank his wife, Clarissa, father-in-law, Albert, and kids for their love and support and Joel for taking care of his equipment. Andy also wanted to thank AMF Carter Lanes for hosting the tournament and the ABT Directors and Staff for running an outstanding tournament. Andy Toro, Sr. was the winner of the Senior Sweeper with a 662. Ruiz Strike Spree 870 For Three! DOWNEY — When Leonard Ruiz, Jr., stepped onto the approach Monday night at Del Rio Lanes, little did he know that he would make history! Bowling in the Ebonite Scratch League, the competition is fierce, but when you can strike 34 out of 36 times for games of 300, 300, 270 — you know you have tamed the dragon. Leonard had his own pro shop at West Covina Lanes a few years ago, but his weapon of choice Monday was perfected by Josh Montgomery. (Driller for the Pro Approach Shop at Cal Bowl.) The only shot not perfect in the pocket was the first frame of game three. After 2 300’s, would YOU be able to get to the line? In the third frame he left a solid nine — and then off the sheet! New House Record, association record, personnal record and hopefully not a record to be broken. Congrats Leonard Ruiz, Jr. ABT at AMF Carter Lanes: (back row left to right) Daryl Brandt and Jeff Juckett. (Front row l to r) Andy Toro, Sr. and Rick Cleary The Mystery Game Pot game and score were drawn during our finals meeting. Game #3 was the game drawn.

A life long bowler, he and wife Betty were among the best bowlers at Beacon Bowl in Lakewood in the late 1940s. Ted regularly averaged in the mid 190s in the years following World War Two, and Betty was not far behind in the 170s. Bowling brought this wonderful couple together and kept them together for over fifty years. It was April 23, 1950 when Ted borrowed money to enter a twenty game match, for a hundred dollar jackpot. Coming from behind, Ted won a narrow victory. The “C Note” jackpot was enough for Ted to propose marriage, and a quick trip to Vegas to tie the knot with Betty. After moving to the Inland Empire, Ted and Betty continued to bowl together until Betty’s passing in May of 2000. Their son, KELLY JONES, picked up their love of the game, and has averaged 230 at Cal Oaks Bowl for several years.

YORK — The above headline, if it says “Deaf Female Bowler of the Decade”, I say “YES! She has accomplished so many records such as 847 (highest ever by deaf female) top 2197 all-events in Great Lakes Deaf Women’s tournament, won Gold Medal in 2005 Deaflympics Women Masters, top average 236 and Hall of Fame in her USBC Association during the 2000-2009 decade.” Who could beat that? Well, I recently got another e-mail from the fabulous hearing-impaired lefthander Lindy Decker saying that the York/Adams County bowling writer informed her that she is in the race for York County’s Female Bowler of the Decade (2000-2009) held by the York County Bowling Proprietors Association and the results will be officially announced in December. The Award will be formally presented at the York/Adams USBC Bowling Hall of Fame Dinner on February 2010. WOW! I knew Lindy had lots of fine accomplishments in her local USBC Association which inducted her into its Bowling Hall of Fame a few years ago. Let’s wait for the official announcement of the results in December to make sure she wins this prestigious honor. That would make her the first deaf woman ever to win such a decade award.

In our return to West Covina a decent turnout of 170, saw cuts scores of men +25. The Ladies topped the men at +3. Super Seniors added to the board were Walter White and Romy Cajucom. Unbelievably no Super Senior women participated in the event except Bobbie Mc Collum who made the regular board. Forty Five Semifinalists took the floor and we saw Jhun Tan lead the way at +87 to sit out and bowl for the title. Right behind was a pretty lady Yu Lam at +71 who would receive a first round bye in the single elims and enter in the second round. It took a +13, including three 3 guaranteed women, to make the top 16 single elim finals. In round One, Losers were Sean Nguon, Fred Go, Thomas Licauco, Danny Guevarra, Bobbie McCollum, Eddie Palma and Raul Aldaz. They received checks of 100 each. Round two saw Sun Sundara, Youna Yun, Art Windsor and Ben Hurtado lose out. They cashed checks of $110. Round three got tense and saw Yu Lam edge Bob Ricketts 194-186. Justin Taino struck often in a 266-222 win over Daniel Cha. So Bob and Daniel were 4th and 5th with fine bowling. Yu and Justin to meet for the right to bowl Tan for the title. This game was close but Justin lost his shot at the end and Yu prevailed in a 226-200 win with Justin in 3rd place. Tthe pretty lady off to the title game vs Jhun Tan. The title game is on and we will have a new Champion. Yu led off with a strike and spare. Tan spared but then had three straight opens. Yu had a nice lead after four frames. She however opened in the 6-7 frames and it was a dead even tie after seventh frame. Yu spared and struck in the 8-9 as did Tan but he followed in the 10th with two more strikes and a 7 count. Yu will need a double and 8 to win but came up light and the title went to the gentleman from West Covina. It was a good match, either could have won, but we welcome Jhun to the winners circle on this eve. Great bowling by a very nice man. A title well deserved! Nice bowling by Yu Lam in the runner-up positio. She really did well and almost won the title. Nice bowling by Justin Taino also who really bowled well at West Covina. He is improving for sure and how! Tourney Hi Qualifiers were Nick Smith +106 (men) +115 and Youna Yun led the ladies +77. They get paid entries. The doubles were topped by Jerry Chang, and Don Chung 1,376 $140, and a tie for 2nd. Ping Romero and Fred Go, and Chang again with Sean Ngon 1373 and each (562) 868-7164 place paid $120. We paid 16 places and $1020 in the $5.00 doubles! The Match Game WAS Matched at 148 and Mr. Super Senior Lonzell Burnett grabbed the Cash $1,005 with his 148 game.

Betty Phillips scored 224-606 for seasn high series, but all other season highs remained unchanged. Super desk control staff memer, Vicky, had everything ready for us despite her being very busy with another league that started before us. Another popular staffer, Betty McDiarmid, was availble too if needed and Betty also visited with her many friends in the Vevas league. The formidable foursome, Keystone Lanes #2 (Virginia Gray, Daisy McReynolds, Kathy Parrish and captain Bernice Bennett) knocked off three game from opponents again and still enjoy a 6-game lead. However, the 4-way tie for second was broken. Fountain Bowl #2, has18 wins, followed by Keystone #3 and Cal #3 tied at 17 wins; Cal Bowl #1, 16 and Valley View #2, 15. The rest of the league is closely bunched behind the leaders. Betty’s 606 led Monday’s honor roll, followed by Dee Phipps 236-588, Margo McClain 230-567, Kathy Parrish 530, Doris Lewis 521, Joy Bennett and Jerry Whitehurst tied at 516, Jeanne Payton 509, Carol Davis 232, Madeline Majick and Joan Roper 204 games, Pris Mauricio 201, and Bettie Wells 200.

We also enjoyed visits by former Vegas league members Pat Willmore and Ell Wilson. Pat goes to Vegas with the league and is signed on this year. Phyllis Baldwin was not needed for subbing so she just enjoyed visiting up and down the concourse and then going to lunch with the “lunch bunch” after bowling. NEXT WEEK Monday 10:30 a.m. October 26, at Del Rio Lanes, and don’t forget... NO OUTSIDE FOOD!

STUDIO CITY 818-769-7600 or 877-2380 by NICE and SWEET STUDIO CITY — As you should know (and if not, we’ll transcribe it now) PInz is 50 years old! We are not over the hill or nearing old age, only being the silver foxes we are and gracefully aging. The number 50 means a lot to us, if it is divided by 10 and add 3 and then cut it in half and multiply it, you get the exact number of times that it took you to figure that equation out. PINZ ADULTS Many of you have bowled 250’s or 750 series, but have you ever bowled an actual 50? That takes talent and we applaud anyone who can skillfully bowl a 50 and still have pride in their game. Unfortunately, none of you did, so here’s the scores: Tavern Guild: David Quam 239/632, Mikey Witt 232, Andrew Ryan 215, Derek Brown 211, Gary Brumburgh 208.

Bowler of the Week: This week we celebrate one of our own, MIke Da Veiny. He has bowled a terrific game on the Wii burt has never competed against real people, that is until last week. He “veined” “It” up and pumped those pins for all they were worth. He finished with a 124 game. At least he has a cool name.

Jeremy Glover was our leading scorer with an 864. His high games were 257, 226 and 214. Claudell Redwine was next with 772 with a 243 high game. We’re seeing a lot of Claudell this season. He’s made some very good improvement in his game this year. Another big name is big man Lawrence Merriweather with games of 204 and 210 bolstering his 753 series. Demenia Redwine was the highest girl with 166/587. Other 200 shooters were Justin Gadaire 212 and Nicholas Richardson 201. This week’s baker featured some trio action. Justin-Demenia-Austin vs Claudell-Lawrence-Patrick ended 189-138. CLP then took on Jeremy-Nick-Gabe. Usually, you can bank on any Jeremy Glover team, but this week CLP eased by JNG by 10 pins. Something about a left-handed gutter ball or something. Congratulations to Jeremy for finishing in the 9-12th place tier in State Scratch. This week we’ll be at Del Rio Lanes in Downey. See you at 1:30 pm.

In the final, Nicole Shepard came out hot winning game 1 258-219 but James Hawkins was all over the pocket taking games 2 and 3 233-213 and 254-226 for his first JAT title.

This gracious, unasuming lady who did extraordinary things lost her courageous battle with Cancer Friday, October 9th. Eva was very modest and when I had asked to interview her for her up-coming induction into the Orange County Hall of Fame, she became tongue-tied. So I said, “Just write a short bio to share with all of us.” She obliged with a “whole” paragraph. We were able to stretch it a wee bit... She and her beloved Kenny (I think they met in some bowling “alley”), were marEva Munson ried in 1961 and had two great kids - Cheryl and Ken, Jr. Eva didn’t start bowling seriously until 1975 and from there began her love of the sport. She had two 300 games to her credit, two 299’s and too many 700 series to mention, her highest being 787 which gave her the honor of holding the highest series for women in Orange County at the time. She held the distinction of being on the prestigious Top “10” Average list in O.C. for 10 years. Her highest 4-game series was 994 of which she had two - one in 1996 and the other in 2006. She was just an outstanding bowler! Eva joined the Linbrook staff in 1988 after a six year stint at Kona Lanes. Anyone visiting Linbrook would always see her smiling face and hear her distinctive laugh or, if you were unlucky enough to oppose her on the lanes - poor you! She was a tiger ON the lanes but such a pussy cat OFF the lanes. Eva’s national bowling team was awarded the WIBC special bowling honor of placing 1st in team with a score of 796 and 2nd place series total of 2136 in 1994 and again in 1996 with their series of 2190. Quite an honor! So very many accolades and numerous honor awards were presentd to this very special lady. She captured the WWPB Merle Mathews Invitational with a headline in the Pacific Bowler and written by Joe Lyou, “Even Earl Anthony couldn’t have done better.” Wow!! Some other unique headlines: Munson sizzles in snazzy scoring session with 674 set; Munson blasts 843 topper in Anaheim All Stars; Eva raps eight in Anaheim Loop; Eight is enough as Munson paces So. Cal. Ladies Draft; Munson strokes “another” 300 in Robby’s; Munson is as hot as bunsen in Open Draft; Christmas “Eva” came early in So. Cal. 590 Classic and one of my favorites ... “Olive Oil” Munson bowls like popeye in draft but, did she strike any muscle poses..? She went on to claim many, many more honors and headlines in the Traveling Ladies Club, Open Draft, Robby’s, So. Cal. 590 Classic, Rocky Marsh Doubles and HER 7-11 Vegas league at Linbrook. She said her induction in 2006 into the OC/USBC Hall of Fame for Superior Performance was one of her greatest and most cherished moments and she felt so honored. Eva truly loved her bowling and the bowlers. She was the secretary of the Tuesday Sr. No Tap and the Thursday night 7-11 Vegas league and took care of all the league sheet service for Linbrook. Eva handled her illness just like she did her bowling, with class and style and was loved by everyone. Her 7-11 Vegas league had a moment of silence in Eva’s honor before the Thursday night session and in HER Honer, Mario Marquez shot a “300” and Jeremy Berkeley shot a 299/802 series ... Just for you Eva! Graveside services were held at Forest Lawn in Cypess on Saturday, Oct. 17th and following was a “Celebration of Life” at Linbrook Bowl. Eva was a devoted Country Music fan; had no particular favorites, just loved it all, y’all. But I think “Cissy’s Song” by Alan Jackson is so fitting ... as he sings ... “She flew up to heaven on the wings of angels, passed by clouds and stars by where no one sees, smiling and saying, “Don’t worry ‘bout me.” You know that her assignment here on earth has been completed and I’ll just bet she is already deligently working on her new, lofty role. You will be missed by all who were privileged to know you Eva. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Munson family. Your memories of Eva are the comfort you’ll keep in your heart forever!
