MUNICH, Germany – England’s Dom Barrett ended a three-year PBA Tour title drought Sunday when he defeated Thai-land’s Jojoe Yannaphon, 237-221, to win the Bruns-wick Euro Challenge at Dream-Bowl Palace.

Barrett, 31, won his fifth PBA Tour title and his first since winning the PBA In-ternational-World Bowling Tour Qatar Open in 2014. He got a break in the tight-ly-contested title match when Yannaphon left the 8-10 split in his 10th frame and opened.

Barrett was the top qual-ifier for the three-player stepladder finals and ended a series of championship round close calls, including third-place finishes earlier in the year in the FireLake Tournament of Champions and the PBA Xtra Frame Reality Check Classic, and

Split in 10th frame of title match proves costly to Thailand’s Jojoe Yannaphon

in the 2016 PBA World Championship during the GEICO PBA World Series of Bowling VIII in Decem-ber in Reno, Nev.

Yannaphon, who had qualified second for the finals, defeated England’s Stuart Williams in the opening stepladder match,

10-9 in a one ball roll-off after they tied at 204. Yan-naphon threw three strikes in his 10th frame to force the roll-off after Williams struck and then left a 10 pin in his 10th frame. The Thai player then struck in the roll-off and Williams left another 10 pin.

Next on the PBA Tour’s 2017 schedule will be the Mark Roth-Marshall Hol-man PBA Doubles Cham-pionship followed by the L.L. Bean PBA League Elias Cup finals at the new-ly-renovated Bayside Bowl in Portland, Maine, April 9-16.

RITA WHALEN “AMERICAN HERO”

Bowls 207 at Age 92by Frank Weiler

MORENO VALLEY — Rita Whalen has been bowling for nearly fifty years, the last twenty-five at Moreno Valley Bowl. She currently bowls once a week in the Adult Prac-tice League and averages 120. Rita uses the ten pound ball she purchased a decade ago and has no plans to change to another.

Rita started bowling when she accepted an invitation from her sister and some friends to join them on the lanes. She loved the experience and has been bowling ever since. When Rita was younger she bowled five to six days a week. She did then and still does love the competition and socializing that bowling provides.

Rita loves bowling. BOWLING has given her so much: friends, fun and a reason to stay active. BOWLING is a sport and one of the few physical activities a ninety-two year old can participate in competitively as well as and sometimes even better than “youngsters” half that age.

Of course RITA GIVES BACK TO BOWLING as much and even more than she receives. By example SHE TEACHES OTHER BOWLERS about FAITH in them-selves, about HOPE in the future and how to LOVE life, especially the everyday joys life provides.

Like most women of her generation Rita was a full time mother, homemaker and housewife most of her life. She raised five children, four boys and a girl. While none of her children bowl regularly, son GERRY MARNIEN helps Rita continue to bowl by providing transportation whenever necessary.

In addition to the above, Rita is an American hero. She is a member of what Tom Brokaw refers to as our nation’s “GREATEST GENERATION”.

One of the highlights of her life was working as a welder in the Philadel-phia Naval Shipyard dur-ing WORLD WAR II. She helped build battleships!!!! She did her part to defeat fascism in the 1940s.

Congratulations Rita on your big game and THANK YOU for your service to our country.

She has a good reason for wanting a war job. Rita Sam-peri, has a brother, brother-n-law, cousin and boyfriend in the service. For her part, she is learning about marine sheet metal. World War II Photo.

LAS VEGAS – Siena Cawelti came home last week from the 27th National Golden Ladies Classic in Las Ve-gas – and she returned ecstatic after competing alongside more than 100 of the top women bowlers in the country.

She didn’t return from Las Vegas as a conquering hero . . . then again, perhaps she did.

Even though Siena was eliminated before match play and the stepladder finals, she left the tournament at the Orleans Bowling Center flushed with memorable experi-ences.

She said she had “a phenomenal time” bowling for two days in the qualifying round.

Siena, in her maiden trip to the Golden Ladies, blasted two 200 games during the 15 games of qualifying (223, Game 4; 200, Game 6) and was able to finish the event despite suffering a painful injury in her 12th game.

Siena finished 100th out of the 105 bowlers who took part. Her final place was dragged down by some substan-dard scores in her last four games while she was enduring sciatic pain. Carrying a 168 average entering the tourna-ment, Siena averaged 165 for her first five games, 170 for her second five-game set and 158 for her last five games.

Siena, a San Fernando Valley resident, was profiled in the California Bowling News this month for her emer-gence from a novice league bowler with a 120 average to a competitive force and rising star in women’s bowling.

Jeanne Naccarato, who carries a 216 average and is a Women’s Professional Bowling Hall-of-Famer, finished as the Golden Ladies champion. Tish Johnson, who finished third in the tournament, entered the event with a lofty 232 average, the highest of the entries.

So Siena found herself in some fast company.Said Siena: “What an exciting time and experience to

say the least. Being surrounded by 105 women who love to bowl and who are incredible at it was quite intimidating at moments but inspiring mostly!

“I learned a lot. I felt like that rookie ballplayer who comes to the big leagues for the first time only to be sent down to the minors again! Haha! But not in a bad way but in a ‘I know-what-to-do’ kind of way.

“I have a year to work on some things and you can bet I will be ready. But yet, I had a phenomenal time and even had some great games, some good games and some

not-so-great games. But even when I pulled my sciatica, I never quit because quitting isn’t what I do!”

Siena, who has fought through numerous serious inju-ries during her bowling career, was thankful for the assis-tance she received from many observers and participants, including talented bowlers Robin Romeo, Tori Romeo and Paula Vidad.

“How lucky was I that for my first time, I was on the same pair as the infamous Romeo sisters! Robin and Tori – your ease at how it’s ‘supposed’ to be done was inspira-tional,” posted Siena on her Facebook page. “Paula Vidad – thank you for all of your support and sitting down with me afterwards to talk about my experience – that meant the world to me!”

Vidad finished ninth and won $490. Robin Romeo placed 12th and won $460. Tori Romeo won $215.

Siena made it clear about her future plans. “I WILL be back next year,” she said. No doubt, she will be carrying that same high level of

enthusiasm along with her.

CHATSWORTH – Here’s the final word on weird pin action. It comes from longtime bowling facility manager Keith Kitti, who worked at now-defunct Rocket Bowl in Chatsworth for 12 years and in other supervisory positions.

Keith’s comments come in the wake of this month’s California Bowling News story describing a few strange results that occurred after a bowling ball made contact with pins.

“You get that,” said Keith of the crazy pin bounces. “Because of simple physics, there are probably millions of combinations of the way the pins can fall. And when you factor in people’s bowling styles and the way they release the ball, it can make for some interesting reactions.

“And when you have people with an open-play mental-ity who just throw the ball as hard as they can, it can go in the gutter and then fly out at the last minute,” added Keith, who has smoked 15 perfect games and two 800 series.

In other words, that strange pin action – or inaction as the case may be – will always be there at bowling centers.

So get used to it!

Shocking Pin Action Really Not a Shock At All

by Fred Eisenhammer

Keith Kitti knows pins don’t always behave the way bowl-ers expect them to.

BURBANK — Spring has sprung! Time for some spring cleaning of that bowling bag & tool kit. I al-ways manage to find old league sheets that are tat-tered and torn. Out! (I once found one that was from 10 years prior) Your tool kit can also get cluttered.

Get rid of the tape that no longer sticks. Add a few different kinds of tape too. Such as adhesive, waterproof and insert tapes. There’s a huge number of insert tapes to choose from. Check your rosin and slide bags for deterioration.

After a few years, my rosin was no longer usable and my slide’s plastic bag had holes releasing the powder throughout my kit bag. Ugh! You may want to add a tube of super glue as finger inserts have a tendency to pull out over time. (Ladies, it’s a good back up for broken nails.) Don’t forget NuSkin. It can be a life saver!

For those of you that need only a small kit bag, I pick up a zippered pencil case from the dollar store and use it for my goodies. Of course now I have 2 of those! Warm weather is upon us. Find yourself a hand held fan & throw it in. You will not regret it. Get ruthless & feel prepared for the summer season!

PEACEOF MIND.

DOWNEY — The Brunswick Invitational was back for the final week on the tight 2016 Nationals Team Event pattern. Sys-co and Cal Bowl were sitting on top of the round with Cal Bowl needing a sweep to stay alive.

In the battle for the round, Sysco held a 4 game lead over Cal Bowl at the start of action. With 5 points on the line, Cal Bowl came out and took game one, but Sysco roared back to take game two by 80 sticks to lock up the round and add their name to the round winners. Charlie Kinstler came up big when they needed him leading Sysco at 585 while Ramon Torres again paced Cal Bowl at 586. Round winners will bowl each other for position in the rolloffs next week as the Wild-Card round begins.

In the “B” match, DV8 and Bowlium battled just a few wins short of a chance of the round. DV8 took the first two and totals, dropping game 3 by just 14 sticks. Jeff Carr led DV8 at 591 while sub “Shorty” Ramos paced Bowlium at 536.

J.A.T. was looking to bounce back after being booted from the round last week by taking on Threadworks. J.A.T. came on strong to take game one, got a big strike from anchor Anthony Santos to take game two and cruised to the sweep. Santos once again paced J.A.T. with a nice 642 set while Paul Varela was solid for Threadworks with a 623 set.

Century 21-My Real Estate took on Smirnoff in the 5th vs. 6th place match. Century 21 came out strong taking games one and two but Smirnoff roared back with a huge third game and enough to win totals. Arnold Cheesman paced Smirnoff with a 598 set while Bobby Campagnale led Century 21 with a 599 series.

Erickson’s Foods and Crown Royal battled in the 7/8 matchup. Crown Royal took game one but Erickson’s came back to take the next two and totals. DeeRonn Booker led Erickson’s at 604 while Dave Schiada was big for Crown Royal with a 620 series.

Los Altos Trophy and Professional Approach matched up in the middle of the matches. Los Altos swept through Pro Ap-

proach easily led by Nick Rodriguez’ 622 clean set that was good to break the Clean-30 pot. Matt Schermerhorn was high for Pro Approach at 552.

Herzog and Linder’s met up in the battle of the Insurance companies. Linder’s snuck out game one by 8, then cruised to a sweep of Herzog. Kevin Gagnon led Herzog with a 593 set while Brandon Grant finished strong for a 587 to lead Linder’s.

G.J.C. Janitorial, Forest Lanes and Gym W.R.A.T.T. Fit-ness were bowling against scored in the final matches as the round-winners were taken out of the rotation. Forest Lanes swept through G.J.C. and Gym W.R.A.T.T. dropped all 5 points to Forest Lanes’ scores. Dan Gartin led G.J.C. with a 570 set, Rob Renko subbed to a 616 set to lead Forest and sub Ryan Huff led G.J.C. with a 463 series. In the battle of the round winners, it was Keystone Lanes (3rd round winners) bowling Western Pacific (2nd round winners), and Parkin’s Bowling Supply (1st round winners) bowling the scores of Sysco. Keystone Lanes took 4 wins from Western Pacific and Parkin’s was unable to score a point against Sysco’s scores. Buddy Lucas led Parkin’s with a 548 set, Eddie VanDaniker paced Keystone Lanes again at 624 and Raul Rosales led Western Pacific with a 569 set.

Next week starts the Wild Card round with 8 weeks on 4 dif-ferent conditions. Remember, the round conditions are drawn for individual weeks. The order will be: 3rd (long), 2nd (short), 1st (house), 4th (Nationals), 2nd – 1st – 4th – 3rd.

Sidepots went to Anthony Santos (253) and Michael Lind-sey (255) for $57 each while the second game Super Pot went to Nick Rodriguez (225) for $171. Financial Advisor’s third game pot went to Michael Lindsey (255) for $200 with second to Brandon Grant (238) for $100. Nick Rodriguez was the lone Clean-30 and his no-open set was good for $530. Strikeout pot was carried over again and is over $5200.

Come out Monday night at 8:30 and watch the best scratch league in the area take the lanes at Del Rio as the bowlers start the Wild-Card round on the long-oil pattern next Monday.

DOWNEY — It wasn’t pretty, but it was enough as Threadworks moved into 1st place in Round 5 by sweep-ing past The Professional Approach 5-0. The US Open pat-tern was playing especially tough tonight as most teams struggled. Paul Varela led the charge to the top, as he fired a very nice 604 series to lead the sweep. Danny Ly led Power House Video Games to a sweep of their own, as they took down Blizz Yogurt 5-0. Danny shot 625, while Greg Neuer led Blizz with 581. Team DV8 is once again in contention for the round lead, as Sam Hitchcock winged his way to 242/623 and led DV8 to a 4-1 win over Linder Insurance.

Linder was paced by Kurt Arakaki 592 and Kevin Val-monte 591. In the best scoring match of the night, Pino’s Pizza prevailed 3-2 as they held off Alhambra Coin Center to win Team Totals by 13. Both teams bowled well, finishing as #1 and #2 scoring teams for the night, and their pair was 250 pins higher than any other two teams combined scoring for a pair. Leading the way for Pino’s was Ramon Torres 627 & Leonard Ruiz 600, while Alhambra was led by Doug Kempt 660 & Steve Gaucin 608. Herzog Insurance took a 4-1 win over the PJ-less Los Altos Trophies team as Mikey Villarreal shot 625 for the winners, while Top Dog for the night went to Los Altos’ Buddy Lucas with a very fine 670.

In the roll off team matches, it was Erickson Foods once again losing the first two games, only to come back strong in Game 3 and not only win the game, but Team Totals. Er-ickson pulls within 2.5 games of holding the #1 seed with the 3-2 win, as nobody managed to shoot 600 series, Herbert

Jones led the way for Keystone Lanes with 589, while Jason Buenviaje shot 563 for Ericksons. Charlie Kinstler shot 614 to lead SYSCO to a 5-0 sweep of Forest Lanes who strug-gled all night to catch SYSCO. Mason Man O’Lantern Sher-man topped Forest with 589. American Harvest Vodka out shot CASAMIGO’S Tequila and won 4-1 as Kevin Jones rolled 588, while Vernon Adams topped the Tequila team with 565. Mike Jennings shot 594 to lead Tifco Industries to a 4-1 win over BOWLIUM, who had the pair’s high series, Craig Stevens with 623. Matt Mosley powered his way to 255 & 638 to lead Cook’s Bowling Supply to a 5-0 sweep over J.A.T. DeeRonn Booker led the Junior Amateur Tour team with 549. In the final pairing, it was GJC Services win-ning 3 points as Juan Zavala topped his squad with 511.

Sidepot winners were Game 1 – Sam Hitchcock 242 Game 2 –Jason Buenviaje 226 however the Financial Advi-sor’s pot was won by Buddy Lucas 225 for $240 with Leon-ard Ruiz Jr. 2nd place with 223 for $100. Game 3 Super Pot went to Mikey Villarreal 255, quite the contrast from last week where you needed 11 strikes or more to win. The TRUE ANCHOR award goes to a new winner, Barry Couch Jr. collected the honors with a 3 game set of 361.

One more week on the dreaded US Open shot to try and move into the Round Lead, improve your standing, or move up the ladder in the Roll Off seedings. I’m sure most can’t wait for May to get here, since we will be finished with this pattern. Hope to see you all down at Del Rio next Monday in Downey. Have a blessed week everyone!
