the Professional Bowlers

Association East Region

Ebonite/Ft. Meade Open honoring

Dean Ryan at The Lanes Ft.

Meade.Stadtler, who was given a

chance to win after Hastings

missed a 10 pin in the eighth

frame, struck out in the 10th frame

to force Hastings to double for the

win. After throwing the first

strike, Hastings left a 10 pin to

cost him the win.

The title was Stadtlers second

career regional victory. Stadtler

earned $2,500 for his win. The

win also insured him a spot in the

Dick Weber Playoffs to be held in

Indianapolis next March.The event honored long-time

PBA regional member Dean Ryan,

who is retiring as facility manager

at Ft. Meade at the end of the year.

Ryan, a former Pat Patterson

Award recipient, has hosted

10 regional events at the

facility.

round. Hastings bested

Danny Wiseman of

Baltimore, 258-236 in theother semifinal round match.

ARLINGTON, Texas - Four-time

United States Bowling CongressOpen Championships winner Jeff

Richgels, former Women's

International Bowling Congress

(WIBC) Executive Director Roseann

Kuhn and four-time Professional

Women Bowlers Association

(PWBA) champion Cheryl Robinson

have been elected to the United States

Bowling Congress (USBC) Hall of

Fame by the USBC Hall of Fame

Committee.

The induction ceremony will take

place July 1, 2011, at the Gaylord

Texan Resort and Convention Center

in Grapevine, Texas, and will include

those elected from the national supe-

rior performance ballots.On the men's ballot are Del Ballard Jr., Keller, Texas;

David Husted, Milwaukie, Ore.; Amleto Monacelli,

Barquisimeto, Venezuela; David Ozio, Beaumont,

Texas; Wayne Webb, Columbus, Ohio.; and Tom Baker,

King, N.C. The women's ballot has Dede Davidson,

Buellton, Calif., and Carol Gianotti, Perth, Australia.

Richgels, 48, a right-hander from Oregon, Wis., was

chosen in the new Outstanding USBC Performance cat-

egory, which was created to recognize efforts by

bowlers in USBC championship events. He had previ-

ously appeared on the superior performance ballot nine

times.

Robinson, 59, of Placentia, Calif., was elected in the

Veterans category, while the 62-year-old Kuhn, of

Hays, Kan., was chosen in the Meritorious Service divi-

sion.

Richgels broke through with his first USBC OpenChampionships win in the 1986 team event. In 1997, he

won the all-events title, becoming the first and only

bowler to roll 90 clean frames in the event's history. He

also won the doubles and team all-events titles in 2005.

"I didn't feel totally deserving to get

in the Hall of Fame on the superiorperformance ballot and to be the inau-

gural member of this category is

something I cherish an amazing

amount," said Richgels, a 29-time

Professional Bowlers Association

regional winner who was a member

of Team USA in 1985 after winning

the U.S. Team Trials. "I always hoped

there would be a category to recog-

nize those of us who weren't at the

level of players like Norm Duke and

Dick Weber but still did something

pretty special and unique."

Kuhn joined the staff of the

Women's International Bowling

Congress in 1974 as a field represen-

tative. She worked her way up to executive director in1996, a position she held until the formation of USBC

in 2005 when she became USBC's Chief Tournament

Officer.

"I'm really humbled by this, just really humbled," said

Kuhn, who was instrumental in the merger of WIBC,

the American Bowling Congress, Young American

Bowling Alliance and USA Bowling to create USBC.

"You don't get where you are without the help of a lot

of people, and so many people have helped me along

the way. I want to thank everyone over the years who

had a hand in helping me."

Robinson was an impact player on the PWBA Tour

when she won all four of her titles between 1972 and

1978. She also won seven Worldwide Women

Professional Bowlers titles between 1971 and 1982.

"It's really an honor, and I'm just thrilled to death,"

said Robinson, who also won the 1980 all-events title atthe WIBC Championship Tournament and finished sec-

ond at the 1980 WIBC Queens. "This was totally unex-

pected. I feel like an emotional wreck. I'm just over-

whelmed."

The rating game.

TV ratings are the barome-

ter by which most shows live

and die, either axed or glori-

fied by networks, sponsors

and the people who create the

ratings---the viewers.

I have always been mystified

by the not so scientific scienceof TV ratings. Some say a

fifty-fifty audience of men

and women is good, others say

it is bad, and the same goes

for younger or older and

every distinction which some-

how appears to open to meas-

urement.

Some great shows survived

early poor ratings while other

highly heralded productions

zoomed at the start and then

died suddenly or wasted away.

Some sponsors don't care

too much about ratings; oth-

ers care about nothing else.

Bowling on TV has been a

rating wonder. In the days of

the Pro Bowlers Tour on ABC,

it had all the plus factors, a

set Saturday afternoon slot

that helped the shows before

it and after it and was a 37

year standout on the tube.

But even with all its admit-

ted attributes, Eddie Elias,

the genius who founded the

PRA and sold it to TV big

time, knew there were factors

he couldn't control. He was

quick to point out that bad

weather across the country

always helped the numbers,

and if the weather wasn't bad

all over, then rain or cold in

New York, Detroit, Chicago

and other major bowling

cities would be helpful in

keeping viewers home.

Even when bowling ratings

are bad, they're still pretty

good.

Historically, bowling always

has attracted more viewers

than other sports, including

golf, baseball, hockey and

others. Football is king but

there always has been a solid

core of bowling show watch-

ers, no matter the time.

Sadly, history also showsthat bowling has rarely been

given the respect it deserves

from TV outlets and moreso,

from sponsors who should be

using the numbers in bowling,

the wide appeal it has and in

most cases the loyalty the

entire industry shows to those

sponsors who do see the many

advantages to bowling ties.

Proof of the reach that bowl-

ing has been seen and heard

every day in print and TV ads

that use bowling as a theme

because they know it gains

attention.

Bowling, every segment of

the game and the sport,

should continue to support

TV bowling, so long as the

presentation is professional,

the price is reasonable, and

the pride shines through.

There are individuals out

there in TV viewer land who

really don't realize the power

and passion of bowlers

around the world, and their

spending power. So, if any

bowling show can reach only

a handful of these decision

makers who want to widen the

scope of their product, any

product, it is worth an all-out

effort.

Any bowling sponsor, of TV,

daily and bowling specialty

publications, tournaments,

youth scholarships and clinics

for all bowlers, would soon

realize that bowling always

gives more than it takes.

John ValliRolled His First

Perfect Game

BELLEVILLE, NJ - John Valli

rolled his first career 300 game on

October 3, 2010 at Brunswick

Zone Belleville.

John and his wife Veronica met

at the Belleville Brunswick Zone

back in 2001 when they were

placed on the same team. He

impressed her with his bowling

skills and in 2004 they were mar-

ried and welcomed a new son,

Ryan in 2005.

As soon as their son Ryan was

able to hold a bowling ball they

took him bowling and ever since

he was 18 months old, Ryan has been bowling. It has become a

family tradition to go bowling

together at least once a week!

Although John has accom-

plished a lot in his bowling career

yet he had never bowled a sanc-

tioned 300. He did post a 298 and

a 299 but never the elusive 300

until now. John received a ring for

his 298 and 299 games and gave

those two rings to Veronica, and

she wears them proudly on a chain

around her neck daily.

In January of this year John's

father passed away, the result of a

car accident. John and his father

were in leagues together through-

out John's life and his dad always

told him, bowl me that 300 son,

do it for me. Well he finally did.

He put that 300 game score sheet

on his dads grave the very next

week.

Veronica said,Once I get that

300 ring from John, I will add it to

the two already on my necklace

and wear it with great pride,

because it's not only for John but

for my late father in law as well.Rami Ahmed, Rich Aaron 299,

John Petraglia, Jr. 743 at CarolierNO. BRUNSWICK, NJ John Petraglia, Jr. took high series honors in

the Middlesex County Major League at Brunswick Zone Carolier Lanes

firing games of 217-247-279 for a high series of 743 while high game

honors were shared by Rami Ahmed and Rich Aaron when they eachrolled a near perfect 299 game. Ahmed added a 245 to finish with a 705

set and Aaron added 232 en route to a 722 set.

Bill Daunno shot 222-257-246-725, and Frank Bertucci 247-240-227-

714.

Its only a short time until Turkey Day, and what bowler doesnt like

turkey? Okay, its lame, but its all I have.

I went back to the Internet and looked up Bowling Movies; not instruc-

tional videos, as there are at least 50 of them. But movies about bowling.

One site listed two, and only two: The Big Lebowski and Kingpin.

While The Big Lebowski had a bowling center in it some of the time,

it wasnt really a movie about bowling, but rather a mixed-up story

about Jeff Bridges who is pretty bummy and gets involved with gang-

sters in a kidnapping and ransom plot. He enjoys bowling and at one

time considered it as a career, but its really about other things.

Kingpin was about bowling but made an embarrassing mockery of its

principle characters including Bill Murray who looked ridiculous with

his combover hair non-style and braggadocio, Woody Harrelson as a pro

bowler with a hook for a hand because he lost a hand in a ball return,

and Randy Quaid, the Quaker bowler. All in all, it was pretty moronic.

It did not bode well for bowlers or comedians.

But what is surprising is that this site that lists sports in the movies

passed over Dreamer with Tim Matheson whose dream was to open

his own center, and Greedy with Michael J. Fox as a professional

bowler. These are movies about bowling, although unfortunately not box

office smash hits.

Bowling has seen more action on television shows outside of tourna-

ments. The most noteworthy was Ed about a loveable guy who inher-

its a bowling center. Local pro shop owner and regional title winner Ken

Yokobosky was even a consultant for the show. In fact, Ken has worked

with Ellen DeGeneres and the women of The View. But getting back

to bowling in the sitcom media, who doesnt remember Fred Flintstone

and his tippy toe approach, or going back even further, Ralph

Kramden (Jackie Gleason) and his Raccoon Lodge bowling team?

Married With Children had a great episode, which was entertaining

and totally unbelievable when Peg Bundy rolled a 300 game, complete

with house ball, house shoes, and her everyday clothes. Harold Spraguehad a historic 300 game on The Andy Griffith Show when the power

went out at the Mayberry bowling center right before his final shot.

Toward the end of the show the opposing team agreed to let him have

his final shot, hoping he would be too nervous, and he got his twelfth

strike. Laverne and Shirley went bowling. Lavernes father, Frank, ran

Pizza Bowl at the local bowling center. At the other end of the TV spec-

trum, the darker side, CSI had an episode centered on professional bowl-

ing and murder. A friend of mine worked with some of the cast members

who were only mildly interested in learning the basics for their bowling

scenes. He was asked to convert a 7-10 split for the final scene. Same

with getting some strikes, and leaving certain pins on some hitsall

with a plastic ball!

While the film and broadcast media hasnt always been kind to bowl-

ing, at least they have given it some recognition.

Based on the specialized sports channels such as golf or ESPN-U (col-

lege), I would create an other sports channel since bowling is often put

into that category. That channel would cover sports which have passion-ate players. A governing body, and tournaments such as darts in addition

to bowling. Heck, Id even let curling have its time. Anything in that

cache of not the big stuff like football, hockey, basketball, baseball

and golf would go there. You already have world poker tournaments, so

I dont think my idea is that radical. What say you, ESPN? Wanna play?

Ryan and John Valli.

Donnel Matheson WinsHis First LIGBT Handicap Title

SOUTH LEVITTOWN, NY - Donnel Matheson of Brooklyn, NY,

took home the $500 top prize in the Long Island Generation

Bowling Tour (LIGBT) when it visited South Levit town Lanes for a

handicap only event. This was Mathesons first LIGBT trophy after

11 tournaments.

The handicap event was

bowled on Kegels

Broadway pattern which

produced a moderate scor-

ing environment. The first

squad was lead by Robert

Lovaglio, Seaford, NY who

shot a 755 handicap series.

For leading the first squad

Robert was seeded into thefinal shootout. Leading the

second squad was David

Reed, Shoreham, NY, a 778

handicap series and earned

1 bye in the finals which

guaranteed him $150. The

cut to make the finals was 689 in the first squad and 675 in the second

squad.

Donnel shot a 126 scratch game (198 handicap) to take first place

followed by Chris Jove, Port Jefferson, NY, who earned $375 for sec-

ond place with a 147 scratch game (188 handicap). The third place

finisher was Robert Lovaglio who shot a 141 scratch game (179 hand-

icap) and earned $300.

YES FUND LAUNCHES HIGH SCHOOLBOWLING GRANT PROGRAM

New industry program awards first grant and helps save a New Jersey teamARLINGTON, Texas The newly

created Youth Education Services

(YES) Fund made its first direct step

in support of the YES mission to

promote youth bowling with the

announcement of a program

designed to create and preserve high

school bowling programs.

The YES Fund - High School

Grant Program will provide $2,500

to four high school programs annu-

ally. The high school teams must

show financial need because ofbudget cuts or other changes, or may

request funding to start a new pro-

gram.

High school bowling has shown

rapid growth in the last decade, but

many school-funded sports pro-

grams are facing cuts right now,

Bowling Proprietors Association of

America (BPAA) Director of Youth

Chad Murphy, who oversees YES

Fund programs, said. Thankfully,

the YES Fund and its partners have

stepped up to make a grant program

possible and now the bowling indus-

try can help keep this key age group

on the lanes.

Founding partners Brunswick,

Columbia 300, Ebonite, 900 Global,

Hammer, QubicaAMF, Roto Grip,

Storm and Track provided key sup-

port to launch the YES Fund. The

YES Fund is a joint initiative of the

BPAA and the United States

Bowling Congress (USBC).

To kick off the High School Grant

Program, the YES Fund will award

$2,500 to Middlesex High School in

Middlesex, N.J., to help that 19-year-old bowling program continue

in 2010-11. The Middlesex High

School team learned in June that

because of economic constraints the

program was going to be cut.

Parents and supporters of the

Middlesex program held fundraisers

throughout the summer and, in late

September, the Middlesex Board of

Education approved the reinstate-

ment of the varsity bowling pro-

gram. Twenty-five bowlers have

signed up for the Middlesex team

this season.

The new High School Grant

Program, which will be adminis-

tered by USBC High School, was

established for programs facing cuts

such as Middlesex High School and

for schools which seek to start new

programs.

It is important for high school

coaches, athletes and parents to

know there are resources here to

help, USBC High School Manager

Breanne Eoff said. It can be a real

challenge for people to know how to

help a high school program. Ourteam can help provide guidance and

answers.

Applications for the High School

Grant Program, along with support-

ing materials, must be returned to

USBC High School. The high

school will be required to register

online in the free USBC High

School Coaches Registration.

Applications will be reviewed on a

case-by-case basis and grant recipi-

ents will be notified in writing. An

application can be found by going to

BOWL.com/highschool.

ARLINGTON, Texas In an epic battle of man ver-

sus machine, the newest member of the Equipment

Specifications and Certifications team at the United

States Bowling Congress (USBC) showed off its

skills against USBC spokesperson and Professional

Bowlers Association star Chris Barnes at the

International Bowling Campus.

While the new addition isnt a professional

bowler, it is capable of unmatchable accuracy and

consistency on the lanes that no human bowler can

achieve. Those qualities make E.A.R.L. (Enhanced

Automated Robotic Launcher) invaluable in the

many studies necessary to keep up with the ever-

changing bowling ball industry.

Members of the media and invited guests were

among the first to see what the newest state-of-the-

art bowling ball-throwing robot is all about, which

includes duplicating shot after shot at ball speeds

anywhere from 10-24 miles per hour and rev rates

anywhere from 50-900 rpm, a significantly wider

range than its predecessor, Harry, a less-automated

robot introduced in 1999 and recently retired.

In a one-game match at the International Training

and Research Center (ITRC), Barnes prevailed,

259-209, but he knows the score does not reflect

how significant E.A.R.L. ultimately will be in

industry research.

E.A.R.L. has more abilities than any of the

robots Ive seen before, and to have something to

use for testing that is as precise and dependable is

very important for the future of the sport, Barnes

said. I am a fan of technology, and Im really

intrigued by what E.A.R.L. can do. Today was a lot

of fun, and Im sure when they have some more

time to work with it, it will only get better. Im not

sure I want a rematch in six months.

Now that E.A.R.L. has been set up, tested and

unveiled, its time to put the newcomer to work.

I think we showcased the research side of the

ITRC really well today, and this is the start of a

whole new era of learning, said Neil Stremmel,

USBC Managing Director-National Governing

Body. Weve been waiting a long time for

E.A.R.L. to be ready, and now we can truly delve

into a variety of research projects. E.A.R.L. will be

a great resource for us and the bowling industry as

a whole.

E.A.R.L. was named by USBC Junior Gold youth

bowler Melissa Stewart of Roswell, Ga. She fig-

ured if bowling great Earl Anthony's nickname was

The Machine, then it was only fitting to name

the new ball-throwing robot for a bowler with

machine-like characteristics.

A joint venture between USBC and the Bowling

Proprietors Association of America, the ITRC, a

United States Olympic Committee-recognized

training center, is the most innovative and advanced

training, research and testing facility in the sport of

bowling. The center includes 14 lanes for training

and six for research and testing purposes.
