And if you do the arithmetic, he had a 3-game series of 797 just 3 pins short of an 800 series! Snyder, is a no-thumber, and is a lefty who throws with a lot of revs and speed. His last three strikes in the 10 th were all picture-perfect. Well Done Jon!!! 1

On his 12th shot, it wasn t meant to be. He hit the pocket, but the 10-pin remained standing, leaving him with a 299 game. Dufreane has had 5 perfect games in his career, so the feeling wasn t new to him in the 10th. It felt great off my hand, and I knew it had a chance, but it didn t seem to face up like the other ones he said. Great Bowling Rob!! 5
Marinelli is Back!!! Brandon (L-R): Bob Freeman, Len Howell, Rosa Van de Mosselair, Kim Karlicki, Sandy Vanderhulst, Derek Radics. Missing: Amanda Matskiw, Wally Matskiw. Denis Marinelli, who is a well-known local bowler, has returned to bowling after a two-year absence. His goal when he stopped bowling was to rehabilitate and strengthen his back, which had been giving him serious problems, and then try bowling again. Well, I d say that he has done a great job. In less than two months back at the lanes, this smooth left-hander has returned to form. On Wed, Oct 17th, in the 59 ers League at Chateau Lanes, Marinelli rolled a terrific 792 series, with games of 267, 268, and 257. And he has done this by just easing himself back in to bowling, as this is his only league at this time. I guess it s like riding a bike you never forget. Congratulations Denis & Welcome Back!! 6 43

Kristen Jolly rolls a New Career High Game The Bowling Hall of Fame of Manitoba held their 30 th Induction Ceremony on the evening of October 28 th,. We tried something different this year. Instead of including the Hall of Fame induction with the MTF Awards event, a separate wine and cheese semi-formal gathering took place in the evening and from all accounts, the format was a success, with over 115 patrons in attendance for the presentation. This year s induction was Lynne Gauthier, a well-known local and national athlete, who has been bowling competitively for over 20 years, with lots of successes and achievements, including being a ten-time member of Team Canada, a 15-time Manitoba Female Bowler of the Year and winning many medals representing Canada in international competition. Kristen Jolly, who has become quite a force in the Youth Program (she is a Junior), bowled her highest single game ever in her league on Monday, April 9th, at Laverendrye Lanes. It was a 268!!! And by the way, she also had a Clean Series for the night too! Sounds like she s getting primed for the upcoming Youth Nationals! Not only is she being inducted for her Individual Achievements, but also for Meritorious Service, as she has given back to the bowling community through her many years of service on the Manitoba Classic Bowlers Association, Manitoba Bowling Association, Manitoba Tenpin Federation and more recently, her commitment to coaching in our youth programs. Congratulations Lynne! Congratulations Kristen! 10 39

In the MBA Youth Team Challenge tournament that was held on April 14 th at Chateau Lanes, Stéphanie Korozsi achieved a milestone in her bowling career. She rolled her first-ever 600 series.

The 5 W s of Who? KidSport is a national children s charity designed to help children overcome financial barriers so that ALL kids can participate in sport. KidSport Manitoba accepts financial donations as well as used sports equipment. What? KidSport assists with sport registration fees and provides equipment to qualified applicants who otherwise could not afford to play. Since 1993,KidSport Manitoba has raised over $2,100,000and assisted over 15,000 children in Manitoba. In 2009, KidSport Manitoba assisted 1,518 children with over $287,000. When? KidSport conducts various fundraising activities throughout the year in order that we have sufficient funds to help as many children as we can. Where? KidSport has chapters in 7 regions of the province. Due to lower population levels, some regions are at a disadvantage when it comes to fundraising ability, which is why we have to pull together at a provincial level to ensure we raise the funds we desperately need. Why? Being able to play a sport and have fun while developing crucial life skills is something that many children and families take for granted. KidSport kids need recreation in their lives perhaps more than most, because it gives them something to aspire to when life is limited by family finances. How To Apply KidSport raises funds through corporate donations, foundation grants, planned giving and special activities and events. Funds that are raised help offset the cost of participant registration fees for community based sport programs. Funding is administered by Sport Manitoba's Regional Offices. Application deadlines for all regions are April 30th and October 15th of each year. Winnipeg Region and Westman Region also have an additional application deadline of July 15th. Based on demonstrated need, assistance of up to $300 per individual is available to children between the ages of 5 and 18 to help offset the cost of registration fees. Provincial Sport Organizations must recognize planned activities. See the KidSport website for more information, application forms and procedures www.kidsportcanada.ca 16 CANADIAN TENPIN FEDERATION 2018 NATIONAL YOUTH CHAMPIONSHIP Montreal, Quebec BANTAM Rhea Amante Gabriel Sanchez JUNIOR Kristen Jolly Israel Potter INTERMEDIATES Brittney Rocan Reid Newbiggin SENIOR Faith Sobotkiewicz Eric Korozsi COACHES Earl Sobotkiewicz Shauna Franchewski Kevin Higgins 33
