Extra money action during DETROIT—The Tour telecast season begins on ESPN Sunday, Oct. 25 at 1 p.m. ET with the final matches of the PBA Senior World Championship, PBA Women’s World Championship and the PBA Trick Shot Invitational featuring Hall of Famers Parker Bohn III, Norm Duke and Brian Voss plus additional Tour stars, Chris Barnes, Sean Rash and two-handed specialist Osku Palermaa. The Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour telecasts begin Sunday, Nov. 1 at 1 p.m. ET with the finals of the Motor City Open. Stone and Pedersen will have the ability to talk with players during competition using earpiece/microphone technology that was introduced for the first time during last summer’s GEICO PBA Team Shootout hosted by Six Flags. Viewers will hear directly from the bowlers about their equipment choices, strategies and adjustments they will employ during the matches. “For the first time ever the viewing audience will be able to get inside the minds of the greatest players on the planet,” said Pedersen, a 13-time Tour titlist and ranked 35th on the list of greatest players in PBA history. “You will hear the player’s unique insights, strategies, adjustments, and much more. Add that to the CATS information and you have the perfect mix for new fans as well as the hardcore bowling fanatics.” PBA and ESPN will use the Computer-Aided Tracking System (CATS) for all World Series of Bowling telecasts this season. The CATS technology measures ball speed, trajectory and the number of ball revolutions. Another innovation will be coverage of the Cheetah Championship in reality-style which will give bowling fans a behind-the-scenes look of an entire PBA Tour event. The Cheetah Championship will be aired on ESPN Sunday, Nov. 8 at 1 p.m. ET. Each World Series of Bowling show will also feature Pedersen’s “Quick Tip” segment and Stone will host special World Series of Bowling features from Detroit’s historic Thunderbowl Lanes arena. During his career, Stone has also worked World Cup Soccer and college football, including numerous bowl games. “I’ve been fortunate to work a lot of great sports events and I can tell you that working with Randy as part of the Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour telecasts is as rewarding as anything I’ve done,” Stone said. “It seems like the PBA and ESPN are always bringing something new to Tour telecasts which makes it especially enjoyable to call the action for what is one of the nation’s most popular sports.” The preliminary rounds of several Tour and PBA Women’s Series presented by BOWL.COM events were conducted at Thunderbowl Lanes in August with the final rounds taped for airing on ESPN this fall. Following each of the Tour telecasts, the tournament champions will appear in a “post-event” interview show that will air exclusively on pba.com’s Xtra Frame. The Tour picks up its traditional live schedule beginning Jan. 4-10 with the Don and Paula Carter Mixed Doubles at Lava Lanes in Medford, Ore.

Dorothy was a dear friend and fan of Helen Duval, Berkeley CA. Helen, of course, was not a stranger to the bowling arena and one of our most elegant professional female bowlers of her time. Helen began her role as BVL Ambassador in 1972, touring VA hospitals all over the country to teach recuperating veterans how to bowl and providing tips on adaptive techniques necessary due to injuries. Duvall became known for her recruitment of even themost reticent of veterans onto the lanes - forming a strong bond with the patients. During her almost 30 years as our (BVL) Ambassador, Duval was credited for getting hundreds of vets active in the sport. Both VA patients and staff eagerly anticipated her clinics. As was was said by the Director of National BVL, Elizabeth Montonya, “Although Helen is recognized in our sport as a pioneer in women’s bowling and one of the founders of the youth bowling movement, we at BVL, think of her as a living legend--based on her work with our veterans.” Joining Dorothy in her brainstorm to show tribute to Helen, were believers and dear friends to Helen, Lily May Hester, of Sierra Vista AZ and Elaine Mulroney, Shoreline WA. who would act as Co-Founders and so, in l995, the new club was born and named the Helen Duval BVL (Fan) Club (HDBVLFC). Dorothy, Lily May, and Elaine were well known to most all of the WIBC officers and directors and who were helpful in making meeting space available to the Club at the WIBC Annual Convention each year. Large numbers would attend the meeting and without twisting their arm, ready to contribute towards the club’s progress and success. Over time, the membership involved bowlers from almost every state and the numbers reached short of 500. The purpose of the club was to honor Helen Duval and promote the BVL. And, as our Honoree, Helen was to always have a voice in all the planning. After six years of operating on the premise that the Founder, Dorothy Mauldin would always be here to lead and we to follow, Elaine and Lily May received a letter from Dorothy in May 2000 to tell them that due to her continuous failing health and other existing circumstances she could no longer be actively engaged with her part of leadership, but did not assign her leadership role to either of them. Instead, Elaine and Lily May were dedicated to achieve the goals of the club and would continue working toward those goals. However, no policy or guidelines of any kind had been established; and no By-Laws had been adopted and the club had no elected officials. So, these two women and dedicated volunteers worked tirelessly on these huge tasks. Then, on April 20, 2002 in Milwaukee, WI at the dinner meeting of the HDBVLFC, Dorothy Mauldin, installed the very first Slate of Officers and Directors: Phyl Knoll, Hawthorne CA. President Helen Matthews, Huntsville AL. 1-VP Margie Bishop, St. Louis MO. 2-VP June Cross, Reno NV. Secretary Elaine Mulroney, Shoreline WA. Treasurer Rose Erdos, Canton OH. Sgt-at-Arms Directors: Elaine Hagin, Castro Valley CA. (WIBC BVL Chairman) Alpharetta Callaway Pittsburgh, PA. Helen Lesh, Roseburg OR. Shirley Schmardel San Diego CA. Mary Jane Sporar Joliet, IL. The HDBVLFC maintained three bank accounts. An account which was originally opened when the club first organized, with funds from generous donations from the founders themselves. It was merely left in a brokerage account to gain interest and as a security blanket in case of emergency. Through the talent, hard work, and apparent out of pocket expense in many cases Lily May, designed an informative Newsletter which was sent to the members, a large number of whom , would rarely fail to show their appreciation by sending our treasurer, their generous donation. A General Fund Account eventually was established along with a Scholarship Fund Account. The General Fund Account took care of our annual donations to National BVL; supplies, printing, postage; a few incidental expenses we had for the Annual Dinner Meetings over and above the cost of the dinner, which each attendee paid for in advance; etc. etc. We were very frugal in our spending and frankly, I’m sure the Treasurer didn’t receive all the receipts from the spending of board members and on some occasions, that of some volunteers. In 2004, at Helen Duval’s request, our name was changed to Helen Duval BVL (Scholarship) Club (HDBVLSC). The intent of the scholarship was to recognize young female scholars who met the standard of excellence on our application and was the Daughter; Grand-Daughter or Great-Grand-Daughter of a veteran of the USA Military. They were to be: (a) an active member of the YABA (Junior or Collegiate) and an amateur as defined by YABA rules. (b) a graduating high school senior ACCEPTED to a credited post-secondary learning institution, i.e. any public or private university, junior or state college, technical institute or specialized trade school OR currently attending any of the schools listed. (c) Not more than 21 years of age as of August 1 of the current year. We proudly recognized these seven qualified young ladies. (2001) Kristin Lee, Norwalk CA; (2002) Katrina Gartin, Whittier CA; (2003) Stacey Wetmore, Tucson AZ; (2004) Michelle Quirk, Roseville CA; (2005) Savanna Porter, Mesa AZ; (2006) Amanda Pisano, Hawthorne NJ and Rachelle Davis, Tucson AZ. Each honoree received a check for $500 to further their college education; an engraved acrylic Plaque and a Certificate of Recognition. The honoree was always invited to receive her presentation as our guest at our Annual Dinner Meeting at the WIBC Convention site. Regardless of whether she was able to attend or not, Helen never failed to be prepared to present her own special gift; always wrapped in Green Gift Wrap…. Green being Helen’s favorite color! And, I would be very remiss if I failed to mention that the plaque we presented….. was of pale green acrylic! That room was always a happy and proud place to gather to pay tribute to Helen as well as what we were doing to support our wonderful military through the BVL, while surrounded by all the colorful table centerpieces of American Flags and Red, White, and Blue deco. Thanks, of course, October 15, 2009 to the many board members and volunteers, some who would travel loaded down with all of that deco! Since that last gathering in 2006, the club’s activities have been at a “standstill” but… .a lot has happened both in the bowling arena and the lives of many of our hard working board members who believed in what they were doing and felt gratified all the way. But, some of them have suffered setbacks due to ill health and in some cases may have had to give up bowling and/or travel. And, I think you might agree that the “Face of Bowling” has changed in most areas. But, that is to be expected…it’s a new era and I don’t have a problem with that. And, of course, change is inevitable in the BEST OF ORGANIZATIONS. (Lord knows, I know, I’m a retiree from General Motors!) As has happened in a lot of cases, those who date back to the 70’s and earlier and were active on the local and/ or state associations during many of those years, have just taken it upon themselves to merely support their local/state organization without serving in the administrative capacities. Thus, not being a Delegate, as in my case, attending the National Conventions “is a thing of the past”. But, not without the many, many fond memories of the friends we have made along the way. With all things considered after several months of communication back and forth, the consensus of the Board of Directors of the HDBVLSC was that the organization be “dissolved” and our entire total assets be donated to the National BVL. My conversations with Elizabeth Montonya, Director at the National BVL office, revealed their dire need for funding to support their on-going projects such as Carpet Lane Bowling Kits to our Military in the War Zone; The recreation program at Walter Reed Medical Center; The “ReCreations” musical group; the four new Level One Polytrauma Units located in Loma Linda CA; Minneapolis, MN; Richmond VA; and Tampa FL, who currently receive and treat our most critically wounded veterans back on American soil; and of course, we can’t forget the funding to VA Hospitals and aging WWII veterans in State Homes. So, in a (bittersweet, yet) wonderful way to support BVL’s 67th year of supporting America’s veterans, the officers and directors of the Helen Duval BVL Scholarship Club have proudly posted the club’s final entry in the books….. Our donation of $10,930.95 to the National BVL. And, when all is said and done…. We can truly look back and say…“BRAVO JOB WELL DONE”!

Bobby Campagnale Leads Del Rosa Scratch Bowlers by Frank Weiler SAN BERNARDINO— After three weeks of bowling in the 840 Scratch Classic at Del Rosa Lanes BOBBY CAMPAGNALE is averaging a whopping 249! His 297 game and 773 series also tops the league. Campagnale was last season’s top bowler in the Citrus Belt with a 243 average. Other bowlers doing well include Adam Sokoloski (237 average), Will Kolbow (235), Vernon Adams (234), Brian Carmichael (231), Ron Moore (229), Arrik Torres (227), Ray Cobb (225), and Dave Wodka (225). The leagues leading ladies are ALISHA HILL (218 average), PAULA VIDAD (217), and BETH MENDOZA (200). DEL ROSA LANES proprietor NICOLE ELLISON said the league features a modified house shot, which translates to a modified sport shot. This challenging shot attests to the superior bowling skills of the bowlers posting the averages listed above. Ken Clay Tops Cal Oaks 640 by Frank Weiler MURRIETA—With games of 247 - 274 - 256 for a 777 series, smooth righty KEN CLAY topped all bowlers this week in Cal Oaks Bowl premier scratch league. Close behind Clay were DAVE COOK (224-257-265=746), and DAVE WILK (237-256237=729). CAYLEE POWERS led the ladies with a 268 game and 633 series. October 15, 2009 National Deaf Bowling News by Connie Marchione DeGroff Makes Two Headlines, Blasts 290-300/846 At Jewel City Bowl GLENDALE — I got an e-mail from Ken DeGroff asking me to meet him at Mission Hills Bowl. I had to be there to take care of a pre-bowled session of one team in my So. Calif. Deaf Traveling League the day before the league scheduled to bowl there. Ken said he finally broke his 5 years California jinx and showed me the print out of the games he bowled last Thursday in Linda’s Vegas League at Jewel City Bowl which are 290-256-300 and 846 series. Congratulations to him for his honor scores. For those who do not know Ken, the once traveling Kenneth DeGroff holds the distinction of being the only hearing-impaired bowler having bowled a 300 or more in each of 6 states in U.S. and an 800 or more in 3 states. So he finally got an 800 in California. His latest 300 is his career 24 and his 846 is his career 13th 800. He never had so many years between 800s. Also, Ken is famously known in USBC record books for his twice bowled back to back 300 games. Looking at the printout between 1st and 2nd games, Ken had bowled 18 straight strikes. He made 31 out of possible 36 strikes in his 846. He used a new Gravity Energy ball drilled by Brandon McGinnes at Jewel City Bowl and wants to thank him for the best ever and good job drilling his ball. Ken added that he could not believe that he came so close, within two pins of breaking the Jewel City house record of 848. DeGroff Blasts 272, Record 1006 In Deaf Travel At Mission Hills Bowl MISSION HILLS — Ken DeGroff steam rolled on in So. Calif. Deaf Traveling League’s stop at Mission Hills Bowl last Sunday creating a new league series record 1006 with his 255268-214(737)-272. That is his third consecutive 900-plus series in this league and his 1009 broke the old record of 1002 made by Darrell Stogryn in 2005. DeGroff’s average in this 50th anniversary league is now 241 for 12 games. DeGroff’s latest feat led the league’s honor roll of 16 bowlers with 3 of them making 800s. Darrell Stogryn hit all twos, 201236-216-210 for 863, followed by Bob Taylor with stepped up games 158-189-231-244 for 822 and Ed Abakumoff with 195250-172-184 for 810. Albeit DeGroff has the high game 278, his series counts first and Abakumoff’s latest 259 replaces his own 258, the season high game. Unpredictable Randy Salazar had a poor 139 start that cost him an 800 as he closed with 229-190226 for 784. The rest on the list were Robert Audette wih 220/755, Bob Jones with 208/744, Jeff Stansell 220/740, Gardy Rodgers 204/724, Bob Bergan 200/711, LeRoy MacMonagle 223/707. 200’s by Don Millwee 216, Connie Marchione 206 and Francisco Navarro 203. Abakumoff’s Riverside with his 259 and Salazar’s 229 helping broke the league season high team game 767 with an 810. In the next game MacMonagle’s Mid City fell short with Taylor’s 231 and Millwee’s 216 not getting enough help ending with a 779. This 50th anniversary all deaf traveling league thanks Mission Hills Bowl Manager Mario and his assistant Dave and the staff for the great courtesy hosting us and excellent lane conditioning. We hope to return with all full teams on the next trip in February.

The Next Revolution was created to give coaches and bowling fans a closer look at the unique two-handed style that is sweeping the globe, while also giving participants a chance to revolutionize their own games with help from some of the sport’s biggest stars. Belmonte, the 2008-09 Professional Bowlers Association Rookie of the Year, will roll into Detroit (Oct. 31), Chicago (Nov.1), Houston (Nov. 7) and Dallas (Nov. 8) for a series of exhibitions and clinics and will be joined (one per location) by Team USA members Kim Terrell-Kearney and Diandra Asbaty, Colombian standout Clara Guerrero and PBA star Chris Barnes, respectively. Although the events may vary slightly, each will include onlane instruction, bowling ball demonstrations from ball manufacturers, a question and answer period and a chance to meet the stars and get their autographs. The highlight of each event will be a head-to-head match between Belmonte and his friends to determine once and for all if two hands are indeed better than one. “Two-handed bowling is changing the look of the sport, and Jason Belmonte is recognized across the world as one of the pioneers of this unique style,” said Pete Tredwell, USBC Vice President of Media. “The Next Revolution is our chance to spread the word about this phenomenon and give bowlers and fans the chance to see it first-hand and get up close and personal with Jason.” In the two-handed approach, the bowler swings the ball with both hands through the whole approach up until the release point. This style generates considerably more revolutions as the ball rolls down the lane, resulting in increased pin action. During his career, Belmonte has competed on six continents and posted wins on four. He has bowled in more than 30 countries and been named World Bowler of the Year on two occasions. In his first year on the Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour, Belmonte became the first two-handed bowler to win a Tour event by capturing The Bowling Foundation Long Island Classic.

Our Hearts were saddened last week by the loss of our own Eva Munson. This gracious lady lost her long battle with cancer. When Eva wasn’t able to finish out the league last season, we knew she wasn’t well. Eva truly loved her bowling and the bowlers. Eva had taken care of all the league sheet service for Linbrook Bowl since 1988. She was the league coordinator for all the Sr. leagues. She was the Secretary of the Tuesday Sr. No Tap and the Thursday night 7-11 Vegas leagues. She was inducted into the O.C.U.S.B.C. Hall of Fame in 2006. Eva handled her illness just like she did her bowling, with Class and Style and was loved by everyone. She will truly be missed. Services will be held Sat. Oct. 17th at Forrest Lawn Cypress at 12:30. There will be graveside services only. Daughter Cheryl Munson will be holding a reception at Linbrook Bowl after the service, around 2:00 PM. Our love and prayers go out to Kenney, Cheryl, Johnny, and the entire Munson family.
