MilliganCrowned 2005WIBC Queens

ChampionTULSA, Okla. - Tennelle

Milligan, Yorba Linda, Calif.,knew what she had to do —strike and spare in the 10thframe to clinch the title at 2005Women’s International BowlingCongress Queens Tournament,presented by Reno Tri-Proper-ties, a United States BowlingCongress Event.

Standing in her way wasRiverlanes’ lane 35 — the leftlane that had been giving her fitsduring Wednesday’s stepladderfinals.

Milligan earned her strikeand spare to defeat WIBC Hallof Famer Anne Marie Duggan,Edmond, Okla., in the secondchampionship game 202-177 —but not without adversity — toclaim her third major title.

“I didn’t want to end on theleft lane,” said Milligan, whowon the Professional Women’sBowling Association PlayersChampionship and U.S. Open in2000. “That’s why I picked toend on the right lane in the firstgame because I wanted to get itover with. Anne Marie had abetter reaction on the left lanethan I did.”

Milligan struck on her firstball in the 10th of the secondgame, a rare shot of hers thatwent flush into the pocket onlane 35. Her next shot, however,went light — getting five pinsand leaving the 2-4-5-7-8 com-bination.

“I was so happy I made agreat shot on the first ball,”Milligan said. “I thought I threwthe next one pretty well, too —and I got five. So I might as wellget the other half while I’m atit.”

She converted the spare toshut out Duggan, a 15-timePWBA winner who won theWIBC Queens title in 1994.

“I’m just overwhelmed rightnow. It’s all so unreal,” Milligansaid. “Being the last WIBCQueen — that’s exciting in it-self.”

Next year’s event at the Na-tional Bowling Stadium in Reno,Nev., will be renamed the USBCQueens (formerly the WIBCQueens Tournament).

For her victory, Milligan wasawarded $25,000 in addition tothe Queens tiara, pendant andcrystal trophy. The 2005 WIBCQueens, presented by Reno Tri-Properties, participating sponsorMiller Lite, awarded $167,775in prize money. Duggan earned$20,000 for second place.

Jon Brandon-BobBrady Win Inaugural

Buena InvitationalVENTURA — What was ad-

vertised as the “Equalizer Tour-nament” proved to be just that.

Fifty-seven (57) bowlers tookto the lanes Saturday, May 21stat 1:00 p.m. and bowled two 5-game blocks on two completelydifferent lane conditions.

After discussing the possibil-ity of changing this into a one-day tournament, the bowlersdecided to change the formatwhere all finals matches wouldbe two games total pins to de-cide the winners.

This turned out to be a longday as the finalists in the 48 &Under Division would bowl aminimum of 12 games and thefirst and second place finisherswould bowl 16 games.

In the 50 & Over Division, allfinalists would also bowl a mini-mum of 12 games with the firstand second place finishers bowl-ing 14 games.

Jon Brandon from SantaClarita was our tournamentchampion in the 49 & UnderDivision and qualified sixthwith a score of +225. BobBrady from Santa Monica wasthe 50 & Over Division winnergoing wire to wire with a highqualifier scores of +221.

We had 42 bowlers in the 49& Under Division and a disap-pointing 15 bowlers in the 50 &Over Division. All in all we hada very successful one day tour-nament and paid out $5,945 in-cluding prize fund, sidepots andbrackets.

USBC AnnouncesPartnership With

Magnolia Pictures ToPromote Bowling Film“A League of OrdinaryGentlemen” to be promotedvia bowl.com and moviescreenings

GREENDALE, Wis. - TheUnited States Bowling Con-gress has announced a spon-sorship agreement with Mag-nolia Films of New York topromote the release of the Pro-fessional Bowlers AssociationTour documentary, A Leagueof Ordinary Gentlemen.

As part of the agreement,USBC will promote the film’sopenings through itsbowl.com Web site and othercommunication outlets whichreach a network of 6,000 lo-cal bowling associations,60,000 volunteers and morethan three million members.The independent film opensMay 27 in New York City andJune 10 in Los Angeles andSt. Louis. A nationwide re-lease is schedule for late Juneand early July.

The film chronicles life onthe tour through the experi-ences of four of its stars -Walter Ray Williams Jr., PeteWeber, Chris Barnes andWayne Webb - who are at verydifferent places in their ca-reers. It also provides an over-view of the tour’s resurgencesince its purchase by threeMicrosoft executives in 2000.

“Our partnership withUSBC will provide a greatboost in making everyonewho has an interest in thesport aware of this uniquefilm,” said Chris Browne, thefilm’s director. “We hope thatthe struggles of these men willstrike a chord with anyonewho remembers watching theintense stares and tortured si-lences of a Saturday afternoonbowling broadcast.”

USBC also will work withMagnolia Films to promotefuture screenings in NewYork, Detroit, Minneapolis/St.Paul, Chicago, Washington,D.C., Denver, Cleveland, St.Louis, Philadelphia, Milwau-kee, Houston and Buffalo,N.Y., among other cities. Atrailer and additional informa-tion about the movie may befound by visitingwww.bowlingmovie.com.

“We are looking forward topartnering with Magnolia Pic-tures to promote this award-winning film,” said USBCManager of Sponsorship Ac-quisitions Mike Jakubowski.“This is a great opportunity tosee professional bowling ath-letes honestly and realisticallyportrayed on the big screen.”

The movie won the Audi-ence Choice Award at the2004 South by SouthwestFilm Festival in Austin, Texas.

Magnolia Pictures is thedistribution arm of 2929 En-tertainment, specializing in in-dependent and foreign films.Formed in 2001 by BillBanowsky and EamonnBowles, Magnolia currentlyhas in release the breakoutdocumentary, “Enron: TheSmartest Guys in the Room.”Past Magnolia releases haveincluded the Academy Awardnominated documentary“Capturing the Friedmans,”the record-breaking documen-tary “Control Room,” thecritically acclaimed Frenchfilm “Read My Lips,” and thesurprising box-office smash“Woman Thou Art Loosed.”

Bowling’s Top Players ToServe As InterscholasticCoaching Certification

Program TrainersGREENDALE, Wis. - The

United States Bowling Con-gress has announced an all-starlineup of the sport’s top ath-letes who will serve as certi-fied trainers for its new Inter-scholastic Coaching Certifica-tion Program slated to beginthis summer.

With the rapid expansion ofinterscholastic bowling pro-grams, USBC High School,USBC Collegiate and USBCCoaching have joined togetherto create the coaching certifi-cation program to address theneed for coaches.

The elite lineup of trainersinclude the following USBC-certified coaches: ProfessionalBowlers Association prosLonnie Waliczek, RickSteelsmith, Jeff Lizzi and DelBallard; Professional Women’sBowling Association players

Carolyn Dorin-Ballard, KimTerrell, Cathy Dorin-Lizzi andKendra Gaines; Team USAmember and amateur standoutDiandra Asbaty and noted in-structor Ron Hatfield. Eachtrainer will conduct clinics inthe region where they arebased to help reduce the costfor attendees.

“We really have a dreamteam of trainers,” said Direc-tor of USBC High SchoolChristine E. Zahn. “Those whoregister for the program willget training from some of thebest. It would be like gettinginstruction from Davis LoveIII or Karrie Webb in golf.”

The program was initiallycreated to meet the goal of hav-ing a trained bowling coach forevery high school that has avarsity or club program. De-signed for those who havecoaching experience and thosewho have limited or no bowl-ing background, the programhas been expanded to includeanyone who would like to be

involved in coaching and lead-ing an interscholastic bowlingprogram at the college, highschool and middle school lev-els.

“We are kind of a victim ofour success,” Zahn said. “Cur-rently many programs’ coach-ing needs are being filled byteachers or other educationalpersonnel who don’t necessar-ily have a background in bowl-ing but are committed to highschool bowling programs.”

For those who do not haveany USBC coaching certifica-tion, the Interscholastic Coach-ing Certification Program is afour-part process which con-sists of the following:

*Part 1: One day of train-ing which consists of fourhours of classroom instructionand four hours of on-lanedrills.

*Part 2: Successfulcompletion of USBC’s Level1 coaching certification pro-gram.

*Part 3: Successful

completion of USBC’s BronzeLevel coaching certificationprogram.

*Part 4: Successfulcompletion of the NationalFederation of State HighSchool Associations CoachingPrinciples course, the Ameri-can Sport Education Program(ASEP) first aid and CPRcourses and any interscholas-tic association requiredcourses.

The first three parts must becompleted in order but part 4may be completed at any time.Those already certified asUSBC Level 1 or BronzeLevel coaches may apply theircertifications to the new pro-gram.

“We believe that coachingis so critical not only for mak-ing a bowler better but also tonurture interest in the sport forthe long term,” said Directorof USBC Collegiate JeanneKlescewski. “At the collegiatelevel coaching is extremelyimportant not just for the ob-

vious competitive reasons butit also plays a key role in fos-tering the bowler’s experiencefor future adult competition.”

“Any successful sportsprogram begins with coach-ing,” said Director of USBCCoaching Bob Maki. “Wewant to provide coaches withthe education and tools so theirathletes can grow their skillsas well.”

Interscholastic Coachingintro workshops will be con-ducted upon the request ofschools or bowling centers thatguarantee a minimum of 16 at-tendees. Registration for theone-day introduction work-shop is $99 per person. In thecoming weeks schedule andregistration information willbe available on the high schooland coaching pages ofbowl.com. In the meantime,information may be obtainedby calling (800) 514-BOWL,ext. 3398.

2005 Storm MixedTournament Offers

New Scratch DivisionReno, NV–Bob Thomas, Na-

tional Bowling Stadium (NBS)Operations Manager and Tour-nament Director of the 2005Storm Mixed National Champi-onships Tournament, announcedtoday that the tournament hasbeen modified to include a sepa-rate scratch division. The newdivision, as well as the handicapdivision, will have a separateentry fee and maintain its ownplacement standings and prizefund.

“Last year, we saw the needfor the higher average tourna-ment competitors to have theirown division and their own prizepool,” Thomas stated. “To ac-commodate players, we createdthe scratch division as its ownentity.”

The new scratch division willinclude all of the events of themixed tournament and its com-panion tournament, titled TheFestival of Bowling. The scratchentry fee is $40 for team,doubles and singles events in themixed tournament, and the allevent fee is an additional $10.To be eligible for the all eventprize, bowlers must compete inall three events (team, doublesand singles) in the scratch divi-sion.

Another improvement thisyear is a limit on entries for eachevent. Bowlers may only com-pete once in the mixed doublesand singles, but may re-enter themixed team event and most fes-tival events up to three times,thereby giving more competitorsa chance to cash.

Events in the Festival ofBowling are the handicap andscratch divisions of the Open

Fresno State’s HaggertyWins At 2005 CollegiateSingles Championships

MILWAUKEE–Last month,Fresno State sophomore P.J.Haggerty was named the MostValuable Player in the 2004-05men’s collegiate bowling sea-son. He proved why Tuesday.

Top-seeded Haggerty, the2004-05 National CollegiateBowling Coaches AssociationMVP, defeated San Jose Statesophomore Jason Andersen 3-1in the best-of-5 men’s title matchof the 2005 Collegiate SinglesChampionships, a United StatesBowling Congress Event, atOlympic Lanes.

Andersen, a Fremont, Calif.,native, was the third left-handerto fall 3-1 to the right-handedHaggerty, who earned the topseed and a bye to thequarterfinals by being the highqualifier. He also defeated ErieCommunity College freshmanRyan Ciminelli, Cheektowaga,N.Y., in the quarterfinals andWilliam Paterson junior TomScherrer, Holtsville, N.Y., in thesemifinals.

“I had a great look at thelanes all week,” the Weimar,Calif., native said. “Takingdown three lefties today washard. Luckily, I got the breaks.”

Once of those breaks camein the eighth frame of Game 4when a messenger pin kickedout the 10-pin - keepingHaggerty’s string of strikes intact. It helped him stave offAndersen’s late run to hold onfor the 233-209 championshipclinching victory.

Haggerty started the cham-pionship match strong, strikingon 8 of 11 attempts - includingseven consecutive - to pull out a244-213 victory in Game 1.Andersen evened the match witha 207-193 triumph in Game 2before Haggerty pulled backahead in Game 3 with a 207-206victory.

The 2003 American BowlingCongress Chuck Hall Star ofTomorrow traded strikes in afierce match with Ciminelli, the2004-05 NCBCA Rookie of theYear. Once he advanced,Haggerty knew he was in con-trol of his fate.

“I knew once I beat him I hada good chance of taking downthe next two, no matter who itwas,” said Haggerty, a JuniorTeam USA member in 2004 and2005. “That gave me a lot ofmomentum. I got a lot of confi-dence out of that match.”

Haggerty received the JoeNorris Trophy, named for thelegendary American BowlingCongress Championships Tour-nament champion.

KIETZ KOMMENTSBy Frank Kietz

BUYING A PIN IN A POKE?GARDEN GROVE — The OCBA held its annual meeting Sun-

day, May 22, 2005, adopted their portion of “Articles of Merger”for Orange County Bowling Association of the United States Bowl-ing Congress by a near unanimous vote. The line officer’s presen-tation was convincing.

League representatives asked lots of questions, were convincedit was safe to be protected by a non-profit California corporation.

There were 11 (eleven) legalese articles, two (five and six) werebothersome to this writer. Not really fine print but questionable.

ARTICLES 5 & 6: 5. The Surviving Corporation once incorporated shall pos-

sess all of the rights, Privileges, and immunities of a public andprivate nature of the Merging Corporations. All Property, real,personal, and intangle, and all debts and obligations due onwhatever Account, and every other interest, of or belonging toor due to the Merging Corporations shall be taken and deemedto be transferred and assigned to or vested in the SurvivingCorporation without further action or deed required.

6. The Surviving Corporation shall be responsible and liablefor all liabilities and Obligations of the Merging Corporations.Any claim existing or action or proceeding pending By or againstany of the Merging Corporations may be prosecuted to judg-ment as if theMerger had not taken place, or the Surviving Cor-poration may be substituted in the place of Such Merging Cor-poration as a successor in interest. Neither the rights nor anyliens upon The property of any Merging Corporation shall beimpaired by reason of the merger.

Do they mean the richer entity (corporation) must pay the debtsof the other merging corporations?

The principal corporation being the ABC (local association) couldbe responsible for the “poor” one’s liabilities?

No wonder the transition has been slow. The Fort Hood, TX ofthe USBC local was the first to complete their merger applicationin April?

Along the way the ABC/WIBC merged locals are encouraged totake-in groups such as the proprietors, youth, bowling equipmentmanufactures, consultants, and public relations companies to formone big happy family.

This writer thinks the ABC/WIBC families would be happierwithout their relative’s burdens.

The bottom line: The success of tenpin bowling in Orange Countyor any other county depends mostly on what the local associationsand proprietor group’s managers and volunteers accomplish.

They need help from players, sponsors, fans, sporting public,medical/fitness industry, city, county and state officials — for start-ers, some dirt about 10 acres, enough equipment to fill a moderncenter, an ample amount of promotion money — no pins in a poke!

EL MONTE–Action Laneshosted the final Junior ScratchTour regular tournament of theseason this past Sunday. Theformat was the same as always,but this would be a doublepoints tournament to turn up thedrama for the final regular tour-nament. With the newly addedJST Tournament of Championsand High Points, many bowlerswould have to make a hugemark on this day to make them-selves eligible for the distin-guished event. With the hugeamount of scholarships that theJST has to offer at every tour-nament, all to the thanks to ourastounding sponsors; StormBowling Products Inc., andB&W Bowling Equipment, thiswas meant to be another greattournament.

The Novice Div. wouldbowl four games, and the topbowler would determine thewinner for their respected divi-sion. One bowler in the fieldneeded to make a huge impactat this tournament to qualifyhimself for the TCHP, and hedid just that. Shooting both thehigh game and high series witha big 219 game, and ended thefour-game set with a 691 total,he put himself not only in firstfor the win, but also qualifyinghimself for the TCHP. Comingup just short of Sean was JeffGlusman in second, with a 656set. Congratulations to Sean onhis first JST win, and greatbowling.

Any point possible meant aton this past Sunday, as manybowlers needed as many as theycould get to not only qualifythemselves for the TCHP, butalso some bowlers had a chanceto make themselves move upand become the division’s toppoint earner of the season.David Phillips was trying justthat, as he shot the high seriesof qualifying with a nice 758series. Susy Montieth bowled anice 229 game to claim the highgame. The top 6 then went tomatch play, as the top threefrom qualifying remained in thetop three, with Phillips keepinghis 1st-place stay. The roll offsaw the first match start off witha 190-166 win from CandiceGalvan over Montieth. Thechampionship match was thenset, and with Galvan absolutelyneeding a win, and a win only,to qualify herself for the TCHP,would roll a solid 184 game todefeat Phillip’s 159 game.Congrats go out to Candice forher clutch win, and awesomebowling out there.

The same could be saidabout points in the AdvanceDiv. as Robert Sickles shot hisway to high game and high se-ries honors with a nice 247game, and a great 929 total.Sickles rode his huge lead fromqualifying into match play, andremained on top for the roll off.All while Felicia Mara took 2nd,Caycee Landers in 3rd, JaredGoldschen leaping from 11th to4th, and Natalie Jimenez round-ing out the top 5, in 5th. The firstmatch was a low scoring affairas Jimenez would defeatGoldschen 180-158. The nextmatch would be an exciting,and close one as Landers got thebest of Jimenez 184-183. WithLanders knowing she wouldneed the win today to make itfor the TCHP, she quickly dis-posed of Mara in the semi-fi-nal 202-163, to set herself upin the championship match.Knowing the way Sickles hadbeen bowling all day, Cayceeknew that she would need ahigher score to win, and wouldshoot that higher game of a 203.That still would not be enough

Sickles, andSherman at

Action Lanesby Brian Carmichael

though as Sickles bowled an-other great game of 226 to winthe match and take home hisfirst ever JST Advance Div. title.Great job to Robert, and con-gratulations on your stupendousbowling.

The Open Div. saw KevinPeterson shoot his way into thelead after qualifying with a nice918 set. Ryan Council was justbehind him with a 908 set,which had the high game inthere with a great 267 game.Match play had a lot of move-ment as Jared Lawrence jumpedhis way into 1st, while MasonSherman took 2nd, PrestonFukumizu in 3rd, and Petersonfalling into 4th. All four finalistsare all champions of the season,meaning all have already quali-fied for the TCHP. The firstmatch of the roll off went to thefinal frame, and Peterson wouldbeat Fukumizu, 208-200, butwould then fall to Sherman inthe next, semi-final match, 181-221. The championship matchwould be high scoring withLawrence looking for his firstJST title ever. He would shoota solid 233 game, but even thatwould not be enough to defeatthe red hot Sherman, whose 258game would take the win. Greatbowling to Mason, and congratson your third JST title of the sea-son.

Congratulations once againand great bowling to everyone.We would like to thank ActionLanes as always, for being a su-perb host center, and makingsure everything is up and per-fect for us. Also thank you toour sponsors, because withoutthem, the JST would not be pos-sible, and would not be able toaward as much scholarshipmoney as it does. The final sea-son points will be tallied up andposted on the JST’s website,www.jstbowl.com by thisWednesday night, May 18th.Those who qualify for theTCHP will be in highlighted inred on the points list, and mustR.S.V.P. for this great event byMonday, May 30th.

Abakumoff asked the bowlers not to leave as there is one moresurprise award. Then he presented the surprised league’s founder,Marchione with a beautiful plaque with apprectation for his 45 yearsas secretary-treasurer. Marchione thanked Abakumoff and all thebowlers but said he already got one in the league’s 25th anniver-sary and this is too early as he might expect one on the 50th anni-versary but at his age who knows.

The league thanks Linbrook Bowl’s General Manager JohnHaveles for hosting our league and arranging to have the banquetat his place. The food was good. The ;eague will meet at a place tobe announced in mid-August to start its 46th season.

LONG TIME BOWLER STEWARD JOHNSONPASSED AWAY LAST MAY 9TH PANORAMA CITY

The sad news of the passing of a good and loyal friend, Steward“Stu” Johnson on Monday morning May 9 in a hospice was teletypedto me by his daughter Debbie. His death came two months short ofhis 86th birthday.

At that I was shocked because I did not know he was in a hos-pice. So Debbie explained it happened so fast that the Friday be-fore, Stu’s long time companion, Kay Oshiro called to tell her thatStu had a painful left swollen arm. Debbie helped in bringing himto emergency room at the hospital where the doctors took lots oftests. Through the tests they found that Stu had cancer in both ofhis lungs so far advanced that he was beyond help. Debbie and Kaywere advised to put him in a hospice where he was there for twodays and passed away in his sleep. It was so sudden and painless.

We knew Stu used to smoke a lot but he stopped about a decadeago. Both Kay and Debbie were shocked because they never knewthat he had cancer in his lungs, as he never complained about hischest pains.

Steward T. Johnson was blessed a good and long life. As a gradu-ate of Tennessee School for the Deaf, he went in construction trade,which took him to several states including Alaska. He was marriedand divorced but raised his two children himself. He settled in South-

ern California, moved to North Hollywood, then to Van Nuys, andretired to a retirement home in Newhall and finally to another re-tirement home in Murrieta to be near his daughter, Debbie. His sonlives in northern California.

When Stu was hooked on bowling, he met Katherine Oshiro, anavid bowler who moved to mainland from Hawaii and asked her tomove in with him. Both Stu and Kay loved tournament and com-petitive bowling and also bowled in deaf leagues together. WhenSo. Calif, Deaf Traveling League was formed, as Stu averaged inthe high 160’s, he was persuaded to join this scratch league in thefollowing year.

So as we lived in the same city Van Nuys, we started a longfriendship traveling together on almost every travel league sessionsand deaf and state tournament years, taking turns in our cars. Whenthe Travel League started admitting women, Kay who averages inthe 160’s joined with us. In most of the years we bowled on a teamtogether. When they moved to Newhall, they stopped at my hometo pick me up or go with me in my car. When Debbie’s job got hertransferred to San Diego, Stu and Kay felt it necessary to move toMurrieta to be near her. Both could not make the long trips to bowlin the travel league and were bowling in a senior league near theirhome.

Stu loved to attend the yearly So. Calif. Bowling Writers Ban-quets with Kay to watch deaf bowlers get honored and missed onlya couple. In bowling, Stu had attained a high average of 185 andwon many trophies, such as Being on two team champions, win-ning both the 1970 Singles (670) and All-events with 1979, andsetting a 1395 then record in 1976 Doubles in Pacific Coast Deaftournaments. He was inducted in the Pacific Coast Deaf BowlingHall of Fame. In the Southern Nevada-California deaf tournament,he was also on two team champions, won 1985 Doubles with 1264and All-events with 1924.

There is one which Stu was proud of, his 25 years participationplaque he received from California State Men’s Tournament andshould have received his 30 years too.

Steward is to be buried in a private family funeral in his home-town in Tennessee. Our condolences go to Katherine Oshiro, Debbieand her husband and brother and his family. Rest in peace, goodfriend.
