1 BOWLING NEWS Page 1 Thursday California Bowling News P.O. Box 4160, Downey, CA Online: news@californiabowlingnews.com Office: (562) Fax: (562) Dave Gulley & Paula Vidad Paula Vidad New Reigning Queen at Temecula Lanes by Randy Gulley TEMECULA Paula Vidad is the General Manager of Temecula Lanes and Billiards in Temecula, CA. She was born and raised in Southern California and is an awesome women who loves the sport of bowling. She is a graduate of Cal-State University where she attended on a full bowling scholarship. She was the California State Women s Amateur champion and 1984 Ladies Professional Bowlers Tour Rookie of the year. She has three professional regional titles, seven state titles, Citrus Belt Queen s title and is a twotime Southern California All- Star team member. One of her most recent accomplishment is capturing the 2011 USBC Senior Queen s title. Paula became the General Manager of Temecula Lanes & Billiards in Temecula, CA on December 21, My brother Dave (Citrus Belt Hall of Fame for Superior Performance), Ann McGee and I visited this beautiful bowling center on January 26th and really enjoyed our visit with my friend Paula. She is also on the DV8 Regional Pro Staff. Paula has always been a mover and a shaker and has put together numerous tournaments. Her most recent effort is that she founded the Women s Bowling Alliance that is trying to step in for the defunct PWBA. This is an alliance of women who have a passion for bowling. One of the events that really places Paula in a class of her own is that in 1993 Western Women Professional Bowlers (WWPB) she set the Women s Record for the most 300 games in a Single Tournament, three (3) in 28 games. She is in three Hall s of Fame for Superior Performance, Citrus Belt (Inland Empire), Southern California and California State. When Paula isn t bowling she enjoys motorcycle riding, snow skiing and watching sports. Anyone who knows Paula knows she is one of the most kindest, sweetest individuals you will ever meet, and I m so lucky to have gotten to know this young senior bowler. Citrus Belt s KIMBERLY HUDSON Finishes Second at ABT Nationals by Frank Weiler LAS VEGAS The Citrus Belt s Kimberly Hudson finished in second place at the recent ABT Nationals, in the senior division. At the urging of friend and local teammate MARY ANDRUCZYK, Kimberly joined ABT in December. She selected the upgraded gold membership because it entitled her to a free bowling ball. It was just what Kimberly wanted to launch her ABT career. The ball she received and used to nearly win the senior title was the new Storm IQ Tour. It was the ball recommended by EMPIRE BOWL pro shop operator ZACH JELLSEY. The ABT national tournament was only Kimberly s third tournament. She did pretty well for a rookie and looks forward to many more tournaments in the future. She is grateful to her friend Mary for introducing her to the competitive world of tournament bowling. Mary said it would be fun and she was never more right then when I received my 250 check related Hudson. Hudson put together games of = 547 to qualify for the finals, and 199 and 193 during the semifinals. She lost in the championship match because of seven splits! LOS ANGELES In one of the highest scoring televised Baker format doubles title matches in PBA history, comedian and podcast innovator Chris Hardwick and 14-time Tour winner Chris Barnes defeated actor/comedian Kevin Hart and four-time PBA Tour titlist Bill O Neill, , to win the 5th annual Chris Paul PBA League All-Stars tournament aired Sunday on ESPN from Lucky Strike LA Live. Hardwick and Barnes combined for the last nine strikes in the title match to edge Hart and O Neill for the win. O Neill could have sewn up the match with a strike on the second ball in the 10th frame but left a 10 pin. This has to be the best celebrity tournament ever, said Hardwick, who is the son of PBA Hall of Famer Billy Hardwick. I was excited just watching it, much less bowling in it. They were kicking our butts at first and my mindset was to just not get slaughtered, added Hardwick. But Chris (Barnes) kept me pumped up and said we ve got a long way to go in the match. I have to admit that the pressure of that match got me a little fatigued, but looking back at it that may have helped because being a little tired forced me to relax and not over think it.

We had our hands full with those guys, Barnes said of the Hart/O Neill team. They got off to a fast start with the first three strikes, but we didn t let them get too far away (Barnes and Hardwick started spare-strike-spare). I reminded Chris (Hardwick) that there was a long way to go in the match and anything could happen to turn it around. He threw some clutch strikes in the fifth, seventh and ninth to keep the string going. The 2013 fundraiser, benefitting Paul s CP3 Foundation, returned to a doubles format and showcased several owners and players in the new PBA League.

Competition began with two Baker doubles elimination rounds of four doubles teams each with the highest-scoring team in each bracket advancing to the championship match. The Baker format requires the pro and celebrity to alternate frames in each game. In the first round Hardwick, creator of the popular podcasts The Nerdist and All-Star Celebrity Bowling, and Barnes, representing their Silver Lake Atom Splitters team combined for a 199 game eliminating Rose and Fagan, representing the Motown Muscle (190), Owens and Duke, representing the Dallas Strikers (186), and Williams and Rash bowling for the BROOKLYN STyLES (143).

Senior retired competitors have to be sixty years or older. It is amazing that there were over 500 such competitors on hundreds of teams, coming from all over the world, from all five branches of our armed forces. The tournament included an equivalent number of competitors in the active duty and retired (under sixty years) divisions. The tournament is managed by High Roller Inc., led by Brad Edelman. Myself and all my fellow competitors are thankful to Brad and his team for doing such a great job. This years tourney was the 56 Th. annual installment of the Military Bowling Championships. The mission of the tournament is to bring together military bowlers from home and worldwide assignments to participate in outstanding competition. The competition establishes a comradeship that all military members will always look forward to. The tournament features a 50,000 prize fund. Here are the top Citrus Belt senior finishers in each event: SCRATCH SINGLES (4 games) 15th Wilbert June nd Tom Smith SCRATCH DOUBLES (4 games) 3rd Zeke Veitenheimer / Frank Weiler th Marv Egeland / Les Claasen SCRATCH ALL-EVENTS (12 games) 12th Tom Smith th Wilbert June SCRATCH TEAM (4 games) 8th Budmen (Moreno Valley) SCRATCH TEAM ALL-EVENTS (12 games) 6th Budmen (Moreno Valley) 15, The tournament featured some great scores including John Donovan s 1063 ( ) in senior singles. His first three games totaled 808! While there were many great scores, I mention John s winning singles score because he was a member of the Budmen team from Moreno Valley. However, I didn t list him above because he isn t listed in the Citrus Belt Average Book for the last three years. The BOWLING NEWS salutes your bowling and service to our country.

8 Page 8 BOWLING NEWS The Perfect Game by Steve Felege Chit-Chat courtesy of Carol Mancini Editor s note: Last week, Steve was sick and self-medicating with a homemade elixir. Concerned about his health, I called to see how he was feeling. The conversation did not go as expected. Phone: Ring-ring...ring-ring.. Steve: Yeppo!? Carol: Steve? Steve: Yeppir! Carol: This is Carol Mancini. Steve: Carol! Hey, how ya doin? Carol: I m okay...how about you? Still fighting that cold? Steve: Oh yeah! Carol: Well, you sound better. I m guessing it s your magic elixir. Steve: Ohhhhhhhh...yeahhhhhh! Carol: Still having strange dreams? Steve: I sure am! You ll really like this one! On Sunday I dreamt that something called The Super Bowl was on TV, but I couldn t find it! Carol: That wasn t a dream. The Super Bowl was on TV. Steve: Really? I wonder why couldn t I find it? Carol: Who knows? Were you trying to change channels by using your telephone again? Steve: Just till the battery went dead. Then Beth handed me the remote control. Carol: Now that s funny! Steve: Yeah...she thought so too! She s still laughing about it. But even using the remote I couldn t find the program. Carol: It was on CBS from 9:30PM to 2:00AM, our time. Steve: Are you sure? Carol: Sure I m sure! I watched it myself. Steve: Well, it must ve been blacked out in my area! When I looked, all CBS had on was a football game. Carol: Uh, Steve...the Super Bowl is A FOOTBALL GAME! What did you think it was? Steve: I thought I d gone into a coma and woke up just in time to watch bowling s first-ever national championship match. You know, the super BOWL! Carol: Well, you weren t that lucky. We still don t even have a true national championship format yet. Steve: Oh good...i would have hated to miss it. But hey, if football calls their championship the Super Bowl, what will we call ours if we ever come up with one? The Super Football? I mean, that not only doesn t make sense, it sounds stupid! Carol: That s a real dilemma, but if we ever develop a national tournament, I m sure the powers that be will come up with an appropriate... Steve: I mean, think about it. Why do they call football stadiums bowls. Bowls are round. Stadiums aren t round; they re oblong...like a casserole dish... Carol:...name for it. Steve:...so it s incorrect to call any football game, a bowl game! Bocce, on the other hand, that can be called a bowl game! Duck pins, that s a bowl game! Kegel-bowling, that s a... Carol: Are you saying the Ravens and 49ers should have been playing in The Super Casserole Dish? Steve: Well, that would have been more accurate. Carol: I think it s time for your medication, coach! Steve: Nope...just took a big dose and... Carol: Say goodnight, coach! Steve: G night coach...zzzzzzzzzzz! Author s note: Since football has usurped the very name of our sport to enhance the marketing of their sport, what would be a good moniker for our national championship (if we ever have one)? your comments or questions to: news@californiabowlingnews.com Editor s note: Last week we had requested possible solutions to Steve s Peanuts dream.

REMINDER Get a partner and come on over for the Sweetheart Doubles Mixed No-Tap Tournament on Saturday, February 9th. You must be a current league bowler at Cal Bowl to be eligible for this tournament. Bowling News is proud to bring you... Chuck Pezzano Dean of Bowling Writers, PBA & USBC Hall of Fame PIN POINTS TO PONDER High average trends make sandbaggers, those who keep their averages down purposely to gain advantage in handicap pins, even more dangerous. Legitimate bowlers have higher averages, the cheaters keep low, thus gaining an even larger spread in handicap events, often too loose in rules and in checking every prize winner. What did Dick Agee, Luke Barlow, Charles Farmer, Jackie Hall, Bob Kwolek, Milt Molhusen, John Powell Jr. and Lewis Ray, all fine bowlers, have in common? At one time they were all listed on the roster of the Fort Worth Panthers of the National Bowling League. And in case anyone asks, the colors of the team were black and white. A dedicated scholar is someone who has discovered something more interesting, intriguing and involved as bowling. Best selling instruction author John Jowdy says that the best things in life are truly free, and also some of the worst bowling advice. You can lose bowling friends, or at least annoy them greatly, if you always keep score, never keep score, or, worst of all, never bother to learn how to keep score. Every bowling tournament, no matter how small, takes plenty of effort on the part of plenty of people. At the least, they are entitled to a little respect even when things don t go perfectly, which they never do. Some people need three and a half instructors to learn how to bowl. Knocking down 10 pins on the first ball earns you a strike on the scoresheet. If you rack up 12 strikes in a row you have a 300 game, yet in reality you have knocked down only 120 pins. So why don t we say the final score is 300 points, rather than pins knocked down. Maybe it s time for a shot clock to speed up league and tournament bowling as is done in pro competition. When will the bowling world understand that a membership card does not make a bowler a pro, nor does the lack of one make the person an amateur in ability. You always hear about champions and winning bowlers being such good sports. Why not? The bowling campus in Texas continues to progress, though the Hall of Fame and Museum could use a lot more space to display the interesting and informative memorabilia acquired over the years. A question often asked is how many balls does a pro bowler use in a year. Some use eight, and others have been known to use 80. Many times the happy ending to a lot of nights of bowling is the simple fact that the night has ended. TV reported that at a recent tournament, golf tournament that is, nice guy Phil Mickelson purchased a lemonade at a stand manned by youngsters and left an amazing high tip, one that if enough struggling golfers or bowlers could count on customers like him they might be better off in the lemonade business.

11 by David Yamauchi Hernandez Strikes For First Open Title Garden Grove The JAT made their way to Orange County for our annual stop at AMF Valley View Lanes. A field of 26 took the lanes in the Open Division on the over-under condition at Valley View. After 6 games of qualifying, Wesley Low Jr. led the field at +181 followed closely by Mark Curtis Jr. at +179 and Brandon Pekins at Parker Brooks was 4th at +87 and Jerome Jordan Jr. rounded out the top-5 at +76. Low-to-qualify was James Knapp at -5. In the bracket, we took 16 and it wasn t nice for the higher-seeded bowlers in round one. Top-seed Wesley Low Jr. fell to 16th-seed James Knapp 2-1 while 2nd-seed Mark Curtis Jr. was dismissed by 15th-seed Chris Valenzuela rd-seed Brandon Pekins fell to 14th-seed Kirk Chui 2-1 and 4th-seed Parker Brooks was swept out by 13th-seed Jordan Eres th-seed Jerome Jordan Jr. and 6th-seed Oscar Chan both got through the first round as did 10th-seed Brian Hernandez and 9th-seed Kevin Jones. In the quarterfinals, Kevin Jones got past the streaking James Knapp 2-0 and Jerome Jordan Jr. took three to knock out the local guy Jordan Eres 2-1. Brian Hernandez remained hot sweeping past Chris Valenzuela and Oscar Chan took two straight from Kirk Chui. In the semifinals, on the left side of the bracket Jerome Jordan Jr. took game one but Kevin Jones stormed back with a win and a win to advance to the Championship Match. On the other side, Oscar Chan took game one but Brian Hernandez got lined up and took game two and stormed to the Championship Match with a win. Moving to the banner pair for the Championship Match, Brian Hernandez out-survived Kevin Jones in game one Hernandez stayed around the pocket and struck his way to a win and his first JAT Open Division title. Nice bowling Brian! Watch highlights from JAT tournament events including shots from the qualifiers and the Championship Matches on YouTube by searching Junior Amateur Tour. Our next tournament will be this Sunday, February 10th at Keystone Lanes. It is the second tournament of the JAT PBA Series. The shot for the tournament will be posted on the JAT website on Saturday afternoon. Remember, there is a 100 bonus gift card for the bowler with the most total pins in qualifying for the three PBA Series events. See you all on the lanes this Sunday at Keystone! GARDEN GROVE Here is the latest news on the JAT Farm Club, coming to you from AMF Valley View Lanes. Our last tournament gave us twenty-two bowlers and it was good to see a couple of them that hadn t been out here for awhile. We also welcomed a few new bowlers and hope that we met their expectations. It was a very good day (except for the rain) with a fair amount of high scores to report as we took twelve bowlers into the second round of match play. Our thanks to the staff and management for the days accommodations. In the qualifying round we had the high game posted up by Eric Torrence with a superb 254. Close behind was Greg Adler with his 243. Nice shooting gentlemen. These two were followed by Daniel Martinez , Joseph Velick , Matthew Zweig 237, Shane Pierson 232, Julian Zavala 232, Bert Dominick 225, Patrick Rodriguez , Stephanie Zavala 223, and Patrick Lofgren 220. Zweig led the field after five games at plus 36, while low to advance came in at minus 95. In match play we added a few more reportable scores with Rodriguez starting us off. Next was Pierson 246, Zweig 236, Kylie Shishima 224, and Martinez 222. Javier Zavala made a three position jump to get into the finals, but it was Shishima jumping a big seven positions and into the top five. The finals then started off with the 5th seed Ja Zavala (-33) matching up against the 4th seed Zweig (+42). Zavala jumped out quickly and cruised to a victory, and advanced to now meet the 3rd seed Shishima (+45). Here, Shishima took advantage of Zavala not finding his line. Shishima grab this match Now against the 2nd seed Martinez (+131) there was just too much Daniel on the floor. Martinez took this game and on to meet the top seed Rodriguez (+208), in the best of three games. The first game went to the leader Rodriguez But the veteran Martinez marched back with a game followed by a win, to capture his third Farm Club title and second in a row, something only Rodriguez has accomplished this season. Congratulations Danny. Our next tournament will be this Sunday at Keystone Lanes in Norwalk. This will be our second of three PBA Challenges and a reminder that the bowler with the highest qualifying count for all three challenges will receive something nice at the end of the season Check the JAT website on Saturday evening for the oil pattern. Also to jog your memory, our first PBA Challenge was held on September 30th at La Habra 300. If you were at that tournament, you ll definitely want to be here this Sunday at Keystone Lanes. Check-in begins at our normal 8:15, with high scoring starting around 9:00. Hope to see everyone there.

PAUL NILSEN Palm Springs 8 Gamer Champ by Frank Weiler PALM SPRINGS The man from Greer Ranch Murrieta went to the desert a week ago and dusted the best scratch bowlers the date palm area had to offer. By averaging 235 during eight games of qualifying, the Citrus Belt s Paul Nilsen was able to qualify third for the step ladder finals in the latest Palm Springs 8 Game scratch tournament. The finals saw the top five finalists bowl one game stepladder matches to determine the tournament champion. From the third qualifying position Nilsen won three match games , , to clinch the title. The title game saw Paul defeat Citrus Belt legend and top seeded VINCE WOOD. Vince was the first Citrus Belt bowler to roll a 900 series, back in 1999 at the old Cadillac Bowl in Moreno Valley. Paul used his Storm Victory Road and IQ Tour Pearl balls to take home the 850 winner s check. Paul wants to thank the BOWLING NEWS for recognizing his big win.

BOWLIUM gets the job done early DOWNEY Team BOWLIUM, the hottest team in the league has locked * Non Sport / PBA League up the third round. For the past 8 weeks their record is 37 and 3! You are in the money guys! Next week the league will be bowling for side-pots and position. Chauney Merritt finally got his game together (blessed with another 300). Good for side-pot number one. Mike Villarreal snagged game 2 with his 269, and game three was cashed by Gilbert Martinez s 278. (Who has won the most side-pots this season?) The EBONITERS also wager on a difficult feat CLEAN 30. That s 30 clean frames in a row. Familiar faces smiled at Bea, and pocketed their portion of the Clean 30. Bobby Campagnale, Miguel Garcia and Mike Villarreal. That s 2 for Mike. Check this, Mike s 269 was also the winning number for the Financial Advisors Pot. Nice night, Mikey! Who drills your equipment??? The league so far this year has chalked up six 300 s and three 800 s. All on some pretty tough lane conditions. Round four, right before booking time, is usually the toughest, but it might end up being the most playable. The league over-all is currently averaging 198. This week 17 guys raised their average and 47 lowered their average. Was that opportunity knocking or just a bad night on the lanes?? The BOWLIUM Brood is averaging 817. This is a team that meshed well. Jeff Seesholtz entered at 199 and is now 203. Anthony Barone came on board at 183. (He spends a lot of time on his game practicing.) He is up to a proud 203. Herbert Jones the Man of 21 Favors who can t say no has dropped from 205 to 200. Arnold Cheesman, carrying on the family tradition, anchors at 211.Congrats guys and enjoy the rest of the league time. Let s take a guess at who will be fighting for the 4th Round Winner s spot. By the numbers, PRO APPROACH averaging 831, should be a sho-in. CLYDES VIDEO GAMES at 815 looks very good to make a run for #4. Chauney is back, Ramon Torres is up a pin, Joe Jimenez is tough, and Leonard Ruiz Jr. is a proven winner. THREADWORKS has taken the heat, the jokes, the humiliation, and the losses. But fun time is over says they! Beware, they have posted notice! Looking at the G.J.C. SERVICES record, they have been close just can t catch the golden ring. G.J.C.= GET JUMPIN COUSINS! CONGRATS BOWLIUM SEE YOU IN JUNE.
