News SINCE 1940WesternWesternWesternWesternWestern BOWLINGCaliforniaWBA SaysGoodbyeBy all indications – applause,

tears, joy – California WBA’s“Celebration 2006 – A tribute toWomen’s Bowling in California”was a success. During the picto-rial and musical studded presen-tation, it was noted – not oneperson got up to go to the bath-room or get a drink – nearly 400in attendance!

The Memory Walk whichconsisted of nearly 50 - 11X17sheets of pictures from our his-tory albums which containedconvention and hospitality pho-tos, were put together by JoanScharsch and all were labeled.Joan also added a “before andafter” of numerous board mem-bers many vintage 20 to 25years. Nuggets from our filesgoing back to the first issue in1950 were set out for people totake and this thrilled publicitypeople who found treasures theydidn’t know existed. Also in-cluded were old tournament pro-motion posters. Six lightedfichus trees nestled among thedisplays created a warm wel-come.

The CWBA board of direc-tors, Life Members and Mem-bers Emeritae were dressed inblack or Navy and each wore aspecially made scarf by JanMorzov. This was a beautifullywax dyed scarf tied a little dif-ferent for each to go with theneckline of their dress. All guestswere in “evening attire” – a spe-cial treat.

President Linda Johnson in-troduced the four presenters andthey rose to a one chorus rendi-tion of the CWBA song writtenby Mary Lynly.

The pictorial that went alongwith the presentation given byMary Lynly (First 50 Years), PhilSeverance (1974-1984), JoanScharsch (1985-1994) and JoanFeinblum (1995-2006.) At vari-ous intervals Re-Creationworked their magic with songsthat fit in where significant. TheirBVL song and a medley ofDisney tunes were a hit as wellas singing the CWBA song. ChrisScherbert of Castro Valley ar-ranged the synchronized picto-rial and it went along without ahitch. 165 pictures bringing theaudience from 1924 to 2006.

CaliforniaWBA Retires

The pomp and circumstancewas there but the hearts of nearly300 delegates were not. TheCalifornia Women’s BowlingAssociation brought a close to82 years of tending the womenbowlers of California on May21, 2006.

The room was transformedinto a classroom setting follow-ing a gala evening of celebrationand the two tiers for officers anddirectors were filled followingthe traditional bringing in of theflags and the final parade of as-sociation flags followed to themusic of our own EllenPatterson. Each association flagbearer bowed to the delegatesand brought their individual flagsback to their assigned districtarea.

The delegation was greetedby Host Association PresidentIrene Raff and Secretary DelindaMitchell as well as SacramentoHostess Association ChairmanBarbara Metzinger.

The impressive bios of theStars of Tomorrow were read andNicole Miller of Petaluma andJerell Maneja of South San Fran-cisco will take their place on theroster of distinguished Stars

honored over the years byCWBA. Maneja gave an impres-sive acceptance as he outlinedhow important this honor wasto him.

Laura Hardeman and KimTerrell were added to the CWBAHall of Fame for Superior Per-formance and both were thrilledto be included in the prestigiousCWBA Hall.

Chairmen of the Senior Tour-nament (Phil Severance andLeslie Spears), the PrincessTournament (Sherry Howe) andQueens Tournament (MabelSheasley) all reported for the lasttime. It was probably most nos-talgic for Phil and Leslie whohave seen the tournamentthrough most of 25 seasons.

The 41st Annual Queen’sTournament will be held July 8-9, 2006 at Fireside Lanes in Cit-rus Heights and thanks to spon-sors there is $3200 in added prizemoney. Entries close July 1.

Editor of the California Nug-get Jan Hogue announced thatthere would be one more issuepublished, a wrap-up issue.

A final report from the Tran-sition Team advised the delega-tion that programs being contin-ued will be the above tourna-ments and a Kick-Off for the2007 Tournament in San Diegowill be held at the Town & Coun-try Hotel in September, the siteof the 2007 convention whichwill be held June 2-3.

remaining money by November1. This has proven to alreadybe popular with 17 returned thefirst weekend.

USBC National DirectorElaine Hagin brought a messagefrom USBC concerning the newphilosophy as opposed to theold and said their goal was morevalue for your membership andthey feel their future is bright.

BVL awarded four associa-tions who exceeded the $10,000mark – Citrus Belt WBA, Napa-Sonoma WBA, Orange CountyUSBC and the San FernandoValley/Los Angeles USBC. Onceagain, a fantastic total so far andat the close of the meeting theamount totaled $206,071.16.Winners of the recent roll-offwere announced.

Tournament Director Mel-issa Ade announced the EarlyBird award (entering the tourna-ment by November 1) was anOrange County team and Tour-nament Recognition Awardswent to the following: OrangeCounty (most teams,) MarinCounty (most teams based onmembership,) and Sacramento(hosting the tournament.)

Joan Romeo of Van Nuys washonored as the 2006 Distin-guished Service recipient. Joanhas been a valuable asset toCWBA and bowling in Califor-nia as an advisor and providingsponsor and organizational sup-port.

Mary Lynly reported on theCelebration 2006 show and din-ner and said it had been enjoyedby all with nearly 400 attendingthe show and 335 enjoying din-ner.

The California Bowling Writ-ers reported on their successfulluncheon with 97 in attendanceand announced that Mary Lynlywill serve as the new president.The 500 and 600 clubs reportedand the 15-Year Club announcedtheir charitable donations of$600 giving $100 each to: theSenior Tournament, Princess

Tournament, Queen’s Tourna-ment, Team USA, BVL and theInternational Museum and Bowl-ing Hall of Fame. Their newpresident is Bobbie Kabage.

The tears flowed as theCWBA flag was retired in a mili-tary folding ceremony by thepast presidents. The flag wasthen given to the ranking CWBApresident, Agnes Duffy ofSonoma.

As we vacated our Califor-nia WBA and ceded to the newUSBC organization the feelingwas - what next? We are one ofonly five states who are merged.We all hope for the best but anempty feeling was in the pit ofmost people’s stomach as to thefuture of our state organization.

CWBA Publicity Committee

Re-Creation, directed by JayMuller, brought a special flavorto the evening and concluded theshow by singing our song andthe audience joined in for thesecond time around.

The evening was attended bypast board members, VIP’s, Starsof Tomorrow, Distinguished Ser-vice honorees, Hall of Famemembers and special guests in-cluding John Berglund, Execu-tive Director of the BowlingProprietor’s Association ofAmerica. The 335 who stayedfor dinner were entranced as theyentered the Terrace room over-whelmed by the awesome ice-carving that loomed high and vis-ible in every corner. All clam-ored to have their pictures takenusing the carving as a backdrop.It consisted of a huge lit ball, withgolden poppy inserted, andbowling pin complete with redstripes. Tables were set withwhite and orange linens. Four11 X 17 place mats that con-tained more historical data saton each of the 35 tables. All ofthese memory items were for

anyone who wished to take them.Round mirrors with votive lightsadorned the center of the tableswith a clear glass vase that helda bouquet of silk poppies. Royalblue ribbon with silver scriptwhich said “California Women’sBowling Association” and“1924-2006” trailed each vase.

All dinner guests were treatedto a chocolate sucker hand madeby Charlene Hedberg and crewand were wrapped and tied withthat same ribbon. The suckerwas round (in three differentcolors) and had a bowling pinwhich bore the traditional redstripe. Making 350 of theseleft the gals done with chocolatefor awhile.

Joan Feinblum did a skilledjob of dinner seating and evenmanaged to handle all the hardluck stories of “I lost it”, “I for-got,” “can you fit in one moreperson?” etc. Everyone on thewaiting list was accommodated.As VIP’s checked in each wasgiven a special VIP ribbon.Champagne was poured exactlyat 7:15 P.M. and Phil Severancegave the toast lauding those whobuilt the foundation of CWBAand perpetuated its purpose,and wished good luck to the newUSBC organization.

An excellent dinner was en-joyed by all topped off by abeautiful dessert and none wentto waste. Prior to dessert, Presi-dent Linda Johnson introducedspecial guests.

This was our special goodbyeto our beloved CWBA. It wasbitter sweet but everyone leftwith a feeling that the CaliforniaWBA was indeed special.

Special Notice. Due to a Robbery (being robbed) on my return home Sunday Night after the Memorial event I am unable to write a full story on the Big Memorial Event at West Covina Lanes. Bothbriefcases were taken by a masked man with a weapon who had undoubtedly followed us home to my house and had undoubtedly been at the tournament planning the robbery!

I cannot stress to you that you can never NEVER, be too Cautious and Attentive in what you do. People like these lowlifes prey on the Good People who try and make an honest living and work hard indoing so! It was an enormous loss. All checks for the West Covina Event had to be stopped per the Fraud Division of Bank America. All Checks will however be paid in full this week. If You are a bowlerwho received or cashed a check in the event please contact me at the ABTA 562-868-7164 for a full and prompt payment or come to Mission Hills Bowl Saturday to pick up/settle your checks.

Due to taking the Checks, Cash and all tournament information, matches, etc. Camera, Phones etc. I have tried to make the story as best I can.If You know who did this please contact me and you will be rewarded and these Criminals will be put to prison! We do not need these people in Society!

CERRITOS WEEKLYChris EguilosStrong From

Start To Finishby Jaime Ferry

C E R R I T O S — S t r i k i n gForce’s Chris Eguilos has be-come quite the “AlleyCat” atCerritos Lanes. Weeknights youare likely to find him on the lanespracticing while dad, Danny,bowls league. Well, payoff hasbeen rapid as this 137 averagebowler showed up blazing forposition round. Sitting in 4th

place in Match Point, Chris bul-lied his way to 2nd seed postinggames of 175,189 and 163, win-ning all three points. It didn’tstop there, as Chris stepped upin match play to shoot 201 and197 and earn the “B” divisioncrown. Practice to improve –“what a concept”. Nice jobChris.

No stranger to high scoring,Lizzy Raya had herself a prettygood week also, with a 202/560scratch series. Terrence Lowebreaks through again this weekwith a 200 in game one. Makingit to print again, MaricioCamacho (103 ave.) put up anexcellent 154 scratch game. Andtwo-handed bowler, Eric Hefner(111 ave.) hit 164 in his first.

Rookies of the week wouldhave to be Breanna McIlroy andBobby Vasquez. Breannatopped all scoring categorieswith her 146/ 385. WhileBobby’s 131 scratch game, 53pins over his 78 pin average, leadthe boys.

Top game and series in theLil Raiders was JameshiaGaddy’s 103/ 194. On the boy’sside, Jason Villa neared the cen-tury mark with a 98/185.

Senior boys cleared the deckbig-time. Ryan Cunningham’s269 was tops – 89 pins over hisaverage. Jared Lawrence posted251/ 661 and Kyle Jacobowitzhit a 231/ 633. Jaime Ferry ledthe girls scratch effort with 217/606, followed by KathyLiberatore 215/ 535. Hats off toBrandon Shelton’s 213 scratchgame – 46 pins over his average.

Immediately following leagueplay, Striking Force A and B di-visions and Senior girls were setup for roll-off matches. Seniorboys will roll-off during sweeps.

Striking Force “B” Divisionsaw first time participant, KimEberle fall to Karen Dimayuga,123 to 92 in match one. In atight match two, Karen snuck byMan Rou Kuo, 185-173. Karenthen stepped into the lion’s den,when Chris Eguilos slung an ex-cessive 201-106 victory. Topseed, Bennett Trotter put up agood effort, but fell to the “toohot” Chris Eguilos 197-117.

“A” Division competitionstarted with a two-frame roll-offbetween Lizzy Raya and JohnElston Jr. to determine 3rd & 4th

seeds. John-John took matterswell in hand with a terrific “off-the-sheet” demonstration. As 4th

seed Lizzy met Jason Ito inmatch one. Un-phased by theroll-off loss to John, she struckoften and moved past Jason,215-178. In match two, there’sthat man again, John Elston Jr.The two battled to the end withLizzy taking a narrow 180-172win. In the semi-final match,Lizzy faced Andrew Arellano.As if the last match wasn’t closeenough, Lizzy prevailed by thenarrowest of margins againstAndrew, 178-176. Waiting attop seed, Steve Bojorguez knewhe was up against a fierce com-petitor in Lizzy, so he broughtit and posted a 213 -154 victoryto win his first match pointchampionship.

Senior girls match one sawKathy Liberatore and ChristinaHefner in a low scoring affair,with Kathy advancing 159-137.

Iraq Bowlers SeekPeace In Mid-East?

by Frank KietzLAKE FOREST — Bowling

is a peacful sport. The AMF-Bowling World Cup sanctionedby the Federation InternationalDes Quilleurs, has been activesince 1965 starting in JackMurphy’s 12-lane StillorganBowl (Dublin, Ire.) with 22 na-tions participating.

Orange County Register re-cently printed a Chicago TribuneIraq war story by AamerMadnani, bowlers battle to keeptheir sport rolling.

Apparently Bagdad had a fewten-pin centers, had a bowlingfederation, had many enthusias-tic sport fans and the Iraq Olym-pic Committee budgeted$50,000 for their 2006 nationalbowling team.

In the 60s Kuwait was one ofthe first to send a FIQ sanc-tioned representative. By 1972all continents with ten-pin cen-ters had reps. K. Kiani, Iranplaced third and in 1988Mohamed Khalifa, United ArabEmirates won the Guadalahara,Mex. title.

The media tried to create prob-lems but the players ignoredthem. They loved amateur ten-pins and were more interestedin improving their game.

Part of the $50,000 was tomaintain what’s left of thedilapilated Al-Gazal center.They have a star, Maher AbdulHussein, their Federation’schampion. He is currently inAmman, Jordan practicing andmanaging a center.

LaythTommy Thomas theFederation president said, “If wecould only have something likethey have in Amman, I know ourbowlers could raise the Iraqi flagover the Arab world.”

This writer since 1968 cov-ered 23 BWCs. Bowlers justseemed to be happy, friendly,left their hostility at home. Fromevents with only 20 nations thenext “Cup” in South America isexpected to lure nearly 100 na-tions.

Yes, maybe we could playgames, bowling games, and solveour problems peacefully.

There seems to be some Ira-qis that think games, sports canhelp world peace — $50,000worth?

We can do better than that!

A Letter Of ThanksFrom An Iraq Soldier

by Sue MellottFOUNTAIN VALLEY —

Last December there was a BVLproject advertised in a magazineto give our troops over in Iraq, achance out of a busy schedule,to enjoy some fellowship time.

As you may recall, BVL wasoffering a kit of bowling para-phernalia. Tustin Lanes leaguecoordinator Jean Farr and thebowlers who bowl in leaguesduring the week, contributedenough money to send ourtroops a total of 12 kits.

I would like to share with youa letter addressed to Jean andfriends, from one of the soldiersthanking her and the bowlers fortheir support.Jean Farr and Friends,

I just got the bowling set in themail a couple of days ago. We’vebeen bowling non-stop. We re-ally needed it; we’ve been herefor 10 months. Our combat op-erations have been extremelyslow and our morale has beenreally low. We’ve had a few guysdie by vehicle roll-overs and bydirect enemy engagement. Yourgift is very appreciated. Thanksfor your support. Sgt. Lampe And the 2-504 boys

This letter is at the front deskin Tustin Lanes so everyonemay read it and know that theirhearts and dedication to BVL waswell received. I know ourbowlers won’t forget our troops,and let’s all work harder to helpour soldiers who are giving theirlives so we may live free!

Tribute To Ted Evans

On May 26, 2006, many of us at Linbrook Bowl lost a good friend. In 1958 a 40-lane bowling centeron the corner of Brookhurst and Lincoln opened its doors to the public. Along with it came the hiringof a young man named Ted Evans.

Over the past 48 years, Ted has made so many life long friends and made a lasting impression on somany bowlers. He was more than just a great manager, he was truly your friend. Whether it was a kisson the cheek or a friendly handshake, Ted really made you feel like this was your home.

Ted dealt with several hundred league bowlers on a nightly basis, and knew them all by first name.I still believe many of them enjoyed talking with Ted more than bowling itself.

Color Of Money was Ted’s favorite event. While this weekly event begins Saturdays at 9:00 P.M.,Ted was checking people in as early as 3:00 P.M. Many regulars drove long distances just to bowl, andno matter how full the event, Ted would always find you a spot.

The last few months, Ted worked through tremendous physical pain, yet he never complained onetime, and never took a sick day. Anybody that kew Ted would know he would want you to celebrate hislife, the moments you spent with him, the memories that will last forever. While Ted is no longer withus, his spirit always will be.

Thank you Ted for everything; having had the opportunity to work with you through the years hasbeen something we will treasure forever. It’s hard to put into words what you mean to us, but simplyyou are the best.

The Linbrook family passes along its thoughts and prayers to Ted’s wife Phyllis and the entire Evansfamily.

Memorial Service will be at Linbrook Bowling Center, June 3rd @ 1:00 P.M.
