Southwest Memories...
LOS ANGELES — This is
the most difficult thing I have
ever done. Our beloved Southwest Bowl is closing Sunday,
June 1, 2008.
There are so many memories.
My Uncle Carmen, taking my
two brothers and me to tear
down an old farmhouse and
build the outside walls for my
father’s dream: a bowling alley
in 1957.
I remember the year we
opened: 1958. My mother
would make 50 calls a day to
get the ladies to come join a
league. Those were thrilling
times.
But this is a Different Age —
and I’m not sure I like it. One
has to live and keep up with
the times.
So many friends... Claudette,
Mel, Monica, Del, Mabel, P.J.,

Mack, Faye, Dana, James, Doc,

SAN BERNARDINO—
Super Senior, Larry Rumple
(1000 Oaks), won the Senior
Division, his 5th Championship
in the WCST Ebonite Singles at
Del Rosa Lanes last week-end,
and he did it with a very strong
finish in the Position Match,
against the leader at the end of
game #9, Ray Cobb. Ray was
ahead by 78 pins going into this
match. Ray got in trouble early
in the match, and Larry was
stringing strikes. Ray ended up
striking out from the 8th frame,
for a 206 game, but Larry’s 269
and the bonus pins for winning
the match of 30, won this tournament by 15 pins.
The finals field which included WCST Champion,
Robin Romeo, was very competitive and close as only 67
pins separated 3rd to 7th. The
lane pattern “Viking” was used
for both the qualifying and the
finals.
Joe Porcelli bowled a
300 game and a 280 game in
the finals, with a 160 game
sandwiched in between those
games. Ken Diiorio the qualifying leader with plus 344 finished in 5th, with Greg Neuer,
starting in 7th, and a strong 3rd
place finish.
A full house of 65 bowlers
entered with the senior division 39 bowlers and the super
seniors 26 bowlers. The tournament pay-off was $9,170.00,
and 24 checks to the cashers,
making this year’s totals so far
for 5 tournaments, $51,100,00
paid out, and now only $994.00
short of $3,000.000.00 paid
out with a grand total for 268
tournaments, $2,999,096, will
reach that mark in this weekend’s tournament at the Silver
Nugget in N. Las Vegas. The
Top 3:
1st, Larry Rumple,
$1000.00, 2nd, Ray Cobb
(Highland) $750.00, and 3rd to
Greg Neuer (Covina) $750.00

Kulick Ready For
Tough Task of
Defending USBC
Queens Title
GREENDALE, Wis. - Even
without a professional women’s
bowling tour, defending United
States Bowling Congress Queens
champion Kelly Kulick of Union,
N.J., says the fields are getting
stronger each year in the few major
women’s events that remain.
Kulick will take on a tough
field of more than 300 of the best
women bowlers in the world when
she attempts to defend her Queens
title starting April 26 at Super Bowl
Lanes in the Detroit suburb of Canton, Mich. The finals of the event
will be televised live from Skore
Lanes in Taylor, Mich., by ESPN2
on April 30 at 7 p.m. Eastern.
“I believe the fields today are
stronger than they used to be with
international bowlers coming over
and the incredible number of tough
collegiate bowlers,” said Kulick, a
current Team USA member. “There
are so many talented players that
there are no easy matches in the
Queens anymore. It’s a tough road
to the top, and hopefully I’ll be
prepared enough.”
Heading into last year ’s
Queens, Kulick was by far the
most tested and practiced player in
the field. She had just come off an
historic season in which she was
the first woman to earn an exemption on the Denny’s Professional
Bowlers Association Tour and was
as sharp as she had ever been in her

Kong Wins ABTA Title at CAL
Jackson Hits a $900 3-6-9 Pot / 3-6-9 is $500
Match Game is $3,500 this week / Match Series est $950 • 3-6-9 is $500
Linbrook is our Host in a One Day Day Event
Qualify Saturday 12:00-1:00-2:30 & 4:00PM Semis 6:00PM
LAKEWOOD— One of
the “Good Guys” Michael
Kong, was the best as he
won his 3rd ABTA title
with a stellar performance
at Cal Bowl from the top
seeded position. He finally
topped a tough lady bower
Janine Ditch in the finale to
take home a nice $1,500 at
popular Cal Bowl.
Our return to CAL was
just again great. We had
a nice 207 entrants in the
early 3 Squad Event which
had squads at 12:30-2:00 &
3:30. Many of our regulars
from CAL were in Vegas for
sweepers. Side poAts went
for $206 a game and in the
ABTA side pots are only
$2.00 per game.
Due to the nice turnout
50 bowlers advanced to
the semis. Leading the
Semis was gentleman Michael Kong +131. He would
sit out and bowl the title
game. Right behind was the
smooth lefty John Gonzalez
at +124.
So Kong would sit out
and bowl for the title. John
to receive a first round bye
in the single elims and enter in round two. It took a
nice +57 for the men and 3
guaranteed women to make
(562) 868-7164
the Sweet 16 Single Elim
Finals.
The Bowlers took to the
lanes. In the first round
single elims losing were Vic
Fabian, John Brooks, Jun
Cadenas, John Feitz, Wendy
Soo Hoo, Dom Laguardia,
and Enrique Castillo. They
got checks of $100 in 1016th places.
In round two being eliminated were Lynn Waldie,
John Gonzalez,Mike Kearney and Gibin Kim. They
cashed in 6-9 nth places and
$110 each. Round three had
Janine Ditch edge SpeedyBryant 246-229. Kenny
Seiple Sr. downed James
Borillo 231-194. So James
and Speedy were 4th and
5th, and $120 each, with
Ken, and Janine to meet
for the right to bowl Kong
for the title.
In a most exciting game
Janine won out as Ken
chopped a 6-10. She need
to pickup the bucket to advance, which she did. Ken
was 3rd with a great showing and Janine off to the title
match vs Michael Kong.
The title game was set
and the horses were paid!
Janine returned a big $200
in the horse bets for every-
one who had her at $5.00
entry.
The title game was set.
Janine led off and split 3-10.
Michael also opened, chopping the 6-10 Janine was
clean, but Michael tossed a
turkey to take a nice lead as
she again split in frame 6,
and split again in the 8th.
Micheal was having problems also with splits in the
8-9 frames but the difference
was too large and he won his
3rd title in 12 yrs 185/197159/168 . Great bowling
by one of the Good Guys.
He is a gentleman and well
deserving!
Great bowling by Janine
Ditch who is a very competitive lady. She bowls
regularly with us. Great
Bowling Janine!
Ken Sieple could have
certainly won this one, as
he was on his game. Ken is
also an ABTA veteran, and
did well until he chopped 6
pin. Great bowling Ken.
Tourney Hi Qualifiers
were Enrique Castillo at a
+144 for the men and Deb
Bradley led the ladies +119,
and they both get paid
entries.
J. T. Jackson was last
standing in the 3-6-9 and

Kong is King in Win at CAL Bowl (L-R) KenSeiple Sr. 3rd, Janine Ditch (runner up) $500, Champion
Michael Kong $1,500, Lynn Walbie 9th and Enrique Castillo 7th & Tourney Hi Qualifier.
he made it count this time
to the tune of $900 as he
broke the pot.. The pot
starts at $500 this week at
Linbrook Bowl.
The Match Game was
UN-Matched at a 279
drawn by Kong. So the
pot it will be worth $3,500
again this week with the
balance going to a reserve
pot.

$666, was also Un Matched
and is estimated at $950
this week for only a $2.00

Inland Empire NABI
Champion James Doolen
RIVERSIDE—James Doolen, our newest champion, won
his first championship at Arlington Lanes this past Saturday. We
want to thank Arlington for hosting our tournament, also thanks
to thier staff.
James won with his Brunswick Fury, drilled by Tony Robbins
at Foothill Lanes. He began bowling when he was only 4 years old
& needless to say, he loves the game. His highest game bowled
was a 280 scratch & he bowls in the Tues. Night Laughlin River
Gamblers league at Foothill Lanes. He joined NABI, along with
his bowling partner, Kathleen Doolen, his mom, 3 months ago.
James is the most likeable young man you could ever meet & has
been striving towards this championship ever since he joned NABI.
We all loved to see him win! When James is not working in the
printing dept. at Stater Bros., he loves to bowl, play basketball &
play video games. James would like to dedicate this win to his
mom, Kathleen & to James, his dad, who are his biggest fans. With
this win, James has won $450 & a NABI champion shirt.
We had a Beat the Board this past Sat., with James coming in
1st with a 713 series with hdcp. Dino Dennis came in 2nd, with a
690. Jay Shackelford came in 3rd with a 678. Dale Jones was 4th
with a 604. Shane Kimberling was 5th with a 598 & Guy Clear

PINZ SENIORS/LADIES
You may deem rap music as “noise” or “voodoo music”,
but some lyrics are necessary to spit about your bowlng.

KULICK

bowling career.
“Bowling on the men’s tour for
a full season gave me a lot of onlane preparation,” said Kulick, who
will automatically be seeded into
match play as defending champion.
“I don’t feel like I’ve spent as much
time on the lanes leading up to this
year’s Queens, but mentally I feel
like I’m ready. I’ve taken the last
few months to get in the gym and
train. Hopefully, I’ll be able to get
to the point I was at last year and
walk into those shoes to find the
same level of success.”
Should Kulick come away
with another victory, she would
become just the fifth woman to
successfully defend a Queens title,
joining Katsuko Sugimoto (1981,
1982), Donna Adamek (1979,
1980), Dorothy Fathergill (1972,
1973) and Mildred Ignizio (197071). Kulick also would become
the seventh woman with multiple
Queens titles.
The Queens kicks off with 10
qualifying games over two days
before the field is cut to the top
100 for five additional qualifying
games. The top 63 then advance to
join Kulick in double-elimination
match play, which begins at 1 p.m.
April 28. The final five players
will advance to the televised
stepladder finals.
The qualifying and match
play portions of the Queens at
Super Bowl Lanes are open to
the public at no charge. A limited number of tickets for the
televised finals at Skore Lanes
will be sold for $10 and can
be purchased at either bowling
center starting April 26.

Spiesman and Le Strike Doubles Win
Congratulations to Jeff Spiesman and Brian Le on taking home
the Dual-Club Doubles title last tournament at Fountain Bowl. Jeff
and Brian qualified 5th and lit up the Baker bracket all the way to
a finals victory verses a very tough team of Natalie Jimenez and
Cody Mendoza. Carry went the way of the two lefties as they
struck their way to a 252-212, 194-215, 222-200 victory and the
title. Congratulations to all of the bowlers on some great bowling
and a great turnout for this fun event!
Brackets for Adults This Time!
In addition to our usual $2 Farm Club and Open Division
Brackets, we will be featuring $5 Adult scratch brackets also. In
addition, if there is interest, we will offer handicap adult brackets
too! Get in on some side action and help support the JAT at the
same time!
Adult/Junior, Second Edition!
Our next event will again be our JAT Adult/Junior Doubles at
Brunswick West Covina. Again we will have two divisions- 390
and under handicap and 391 + scratch- and we hope to beat our
turnout of 57 teams from earlier this season at this fun event!
This event will feature 5 games of qualifying followed by a Baker
Bracket for the title. Scholarships to the juniors as well as some

CLASH OF CHAMPIONS PROFILES:
LIZ JOHNSON, PETE WEBER
GREENDALE, Wis. - As the unique made-for-television event Bowling’s Clash of Champions, presented by the United
States Bowling Congress and Strike Ten Entertainment, gets closer, USBC is profiling each of the 16 participants in the
event. Visit bowlTV on bowl.com for exclusive video interviews with each participant.
The Clash will bring together 16 champions of USBC events and the U.S. Open ranging in age from teenagers to seniors
competing for $100,000 in prize money on national television. The event will take place May 7-8 at the USBC Convention in Kansas City, Mo., and taped for broadcast on CBS Sports May 10 from 5-6 p.m. Eastern and May 11 from 4-5 p.m.
Eastern.
MEET
LIZ JOHNSON &
PETE WEBER
* How they qualified: Liz Johnson won the 2007 U.S. Women’s Open in Reno, Nev., in October while Pete Weber was
victorious at the 2007 U.S. Open in March in North Brunswick, N.J.
* About Liz Johnson: In 2005, Johnson, 33, of Cheektowaga, N.Y., made history by becoming the first woman to win
a PBA regional and finished second in a PBA national tour event. She is an 11-time PWBA Tour titlist, including the 1996
U.S. Women’s Open title. Before joining the PWBA Tour, Johnson was a three-time Amateur Bowler of the Year, two-time
U.S. Amateur champion and 1993 Collegiate Bowler of the Year at Morehead State.
* Johnson’s thoughts: “I’m still learning more each day about the Clash, and I’m very excited to be a part of it. I know I
will be around a lot of other great and talented bowlers. To me, that is a great honor.”
* About the U.S. Women’s Open: After a four-year hiatus, the U.S. Women’s Open returned behind the support of the
United States Bowling Congress in 2007. The event, which features the top professional and amateur women bowlers in the
country, was broadcast on ESPN over the span of five weeks.
* About Pete Weber: A PBA and USBC Hall of Famer, Weber, 45, of St. Ann., Mo., has won 34 career Denny’s PBA
Tour titles, including eight major titles. Weber, who has more than $3.1 million in career earnings, has won the U.S. Open
four times and is one of only four men to complete the PBA’s career Triple Crown (World Championship, Tournament of
Champions and U.S. Open).
* Weber’s thoughts: “This is a good event because it gives all levels of bowlers a chance to win in this format. I don’t
think I will win, though, because I don’t usually do well with this format. However, I do have 34 PBA titles on my side.”
* About the U.S. Open: A major on the Denny’s PBA Tour, the U.S. Open features a field of nearly 500 of the world’s top
professional and amateur bowlers. Conducted on a flat oil pattern, the U.S. Open is considered one of the most demanding
tournaments during the PBA Tour season.
* On the web: Learn more about the Clash on bowl.com/clash and watch exclusive interviews with Johnson and Weber
on bowlTV.
* Next week: USBC will profile USBC Queens winner Kelly Kulick and USBC Masters champion Sean Rash.
WICHITA, KS—As usual I was following the USBC press
releases of the NCAA Women’s Bowling Championship and
USBC InterCollegiate Team Bowling Championships, one of the
releases was about the “Night of Champions” banquet held last
Wednesday April 16. In that they gave out awards ad honors to the
participating bowlers selected respectively by National Collegiate
Bowling Coaches Association and Bowling Writers Association
of America.
One name on the list of honorees, Lindsey Coulles caught
my eyes.
Lindsey. we knew is hearing-impaired and a former member
of Junior Team USA while at Morehead State University. I was
surprised that she had transferred to Central Florida U and is
competing on the Central Florida bowling team.
In both Team Championships, Central Florida team did not
do well but Lindsey did well enough as chosen by the NCBCA
coaches for the 2nd NCBCA All American Team.
Also the Bowling Writers Association of America gave her a
honorable mention.
Great for her and somebody please tell her to come to the Deaf
Team USA Trials this June and try out for the women’s team for
the 2009 Taiwan Deaflympics. The deaf women’s team needs a
bowler of her caliber.
Another thing, both NCAA Women’s Championships and
USBC InterCollegiate Championships are great tournments
and they made me wish that Gallaudet University had kept their
bowling lanes and automatic pin setters. They could train the
deaf and hearing -impaired bowlers who attened as students, for
these tournaments,
NEWS FLASH - MALUCCI WON THE
CAHEN MASTERS IN OHIO
COLUMBUS—I was informed that Carl Malucci won the
prestigious Great Lakes Deaf Bowling Association Herman Cahen
Masters and Diedere Alkire placed as runner-up -n the GLDWBA
Queens. No other details were given, so we wait for the proof of
these items to be written later.
