Norm Duke Turns Sights to Defending
PBA50 Player of the Year Crown
Hall of Famer embraces new chapter of his career
NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla.
– Prior to making his PBA50
Tour debut in the Pasco County Florida Open to kick off the
2014 PBA50 season, Hall of
Famer Norm Duke was quick
to point out that starting another new chapter in his legendary
career on the so-called PBA
senior tour was something he
was going to take very seriously. It wasn’t going to be some
kind of leisurely hobby.
He’s lived up to his word.
In 2014 Duke went on to
become only the second player to earn PBA50 Player of the
Year and PBA50 Rookie of the
Year in the same season, winning two titles including the
Senior U.S. Open.
The Clermont, Fla., resident will begin his POY title
defense when he joins a field
of approximately 120 50-andolder players who will compete
in the 2015 season-opening
PBA50 Pasco County Florida
Open at Lane Glo Bowl in
New Port Richey, Fla., April
11-14.
The 2015 PBA season
marks Duke’s 33rd season in
PBA competition. His career
dates back to 1983 when, at
age 18, he won the Cleveland
Open to become the youngest player ever to win a PBA
Tour title. Since then he has
amassed a PBA career that puts
him among the PBA’s elite.
“You know how it is when
you’re young you think you’re
going to take the world by
Two more quarterfinal round matches decided in sudden-death roll-offs
Norm Duke
the horns,” Duke said of his
early days on Tour. “But I
quickly learned that as good as
I thought I was, I had a lot to
learn, not only about bowling,
but life in general.
“I learned some lessons
along the way and am pretty
proud about the body of work
I’ve been able to put together
on the PBA Tour. I hope I can
continue to build it on the
PBA50 Tour.”
The latest milestone for
the 51-year-old was teaming
with Wes Malott to win the
Mark Roth/Marshall Holman
PBA Doubles Championship
in February to move into third
place on the all-time PBA Tour
titles list with 38 wins, trailing
only all-time leader Walter
Ray Williams Jr. with 47 wins
and Earl Anthony with 43.

PORTLAND, Maine – The
semifinal field for the third
annual Professional Bowlers Association League Elias
Cup playoffs was completed
when the HotelPlanner.com
Pittsburgh Jack Rabbits and

a sold-out crowd at Bayside
Bowl.
The final two quarterfinal
round matches of PBA League
competition aired Sunday
on ESPN. With their victories, Pittsburgh and L.A. will
join the Concrete Software

NORWALK — If you saw
the 1925 Brunswick Bowling
Ball ad last week, and remember the Brunswick black rubber balls — you probably also
remember Roosevelt, World
War II, and homes without
radios, T.V., washers, dryers,
micro-waves, computers, or
indoor plumbing!
We thank William Kuster
Jr. for the ad plus a few facts
about his family and their connection to bowling.
William Jr. started bowling in 1931, setting pins in the
1940’s and has been enjoying
our game for 83 years.
William Senior was elected President of the A.B.C. in
the 1950’s and was President
of the Kansas City Missouri
Assn. for many years.
A true family tradition.
Thank you William from our
readers!!
DOWNEY — Bert Strain,
turned 90 years old, last week!
Bert is a former professional
model and a member of the
WWPB (Western Women’s
Professional Bowlers Assn).
She won many tournaments
and in 2013 Bert received an
award for 50 years of participation in the WIBC Nationals.
Her all time high game
has been a 299 so far, but it
wouldn’t surprise me if that
300 is just down the road.
This beautiful woman is
truly an inspiration to all the
women bowlers who know
her. She currently bowls in
three leagues a week,averages
about 150, drives her own car,
exercises daily and has been
sharing her life with with her
significant other, Keith Kenworthy, for over 40 years.
Somewhere in the Bible it
says that “The Lord gives a
worthy man a good woman.”
And there certainly seems to
be truth in the words from the
chanting and cheering every
shot as both best-of-two-game
team matches ended in 1-1
ties, forcing the one-ball rolloffs which were both decided
by a single pin.
In the first contest, the Shipyard Brewery Dallas Strikers
struck on five of their first six

Bert was born in Lithuania
in 1925 and her family moved
to Montreal, Canada when she
was about four years old. She
married at the age of 25 and
soon after,
the couple moved to the US
and had one son named Tom,
who is now retired from the
Los Angeles police Dept.
I recall Bert keeping a picture of her son, dressed in his

next to her drivers license, just
in case she was ever pulled
over for a traffic violation. She

SAN BERNARDINO — Old friend Lorri Scott contacted me
recently to remind me that our city hosts two ladies clubs. One
meets on the first Sunday of the month at Del Rosa Lanes and the
other on the second Sunday of the month at Arrowhead Lanes.
Lorri leads the ladies at Arrowhead as President.
Besides being a natural leader, Lorri is also a darn good bowler. She is averaging a solid 183, fourth best in the league. Also,
a couple of years ago I was happy to write about her rolling a
certified 300 game at Del Rosa Lanes.

Young Guns Dominate PBA Jackson
Rancheria Casino Resort Championship
SUTTER CREEK — PBA Touring Pro Josh Blanchard, 27 from Mesa Arizona, barely defeated
17 year-old junior amateur Wesley Low, Jr. in the West Region PBA Jackson Rancheria Casino
Resort Championship held February 21-22 at Gold Country Lanes in Sutter Creek California. The
final match score was 235 to 225. This was Blanchard’s seventh career title, and a $2500 payday.
Blanchard thanked his sponsors, ―Turbo for making the Switch Grip and Ebonite International;
the Code of Honor ball was the best this weekend hands down! Later Blanchard Tweeted, ―Great
bowling kid. Thanks for letting the old guy win one before you win them all.
Low, a high school senior from Palmdale California was eager to capture his second PBA Regional Title. In 2013, at the age of 15, Low became the youngest bowler to win a PBA Regional
Championship — breaking a 34-year-old record set by PBA Hall of Famer Pete Weber in 1979
— when the two handed left-handed competitor won the PBA Non Champion West tournament at
South Point Bowling Center in Las Vegas. Low, gracious in his loss to Blanchard posted, ―Great
bowling to Josh. On a bright note, I threw my first 300 in a PBA Saturday during the qualifying
round. Low’s perfect game, the only one of the two-day tournament was accomplished on the Viper
pattern. Not yet a PBA member and maintaining his amateur status, Low’s earnings will be deposited in his SMART scholarship account.
A total of 78 bowlers entered the tournament. Local Gold Country Lanes Pro Robert Harmon,
won $400 as he finished in 24th place, just ahead of PBA Touring Pro Michael Haugen, Jr., from
Phoenix Arizona. Haugen holds four national PBA Tour titles. ―This event is a great event for Sutter Creek and Amador County, said Proprietor John Swift. ―The Jackson Rancheria Casino Resort
has built an event that fills hotels and restaurants over the weekend, and we are really pleased to
partner with them and the PBA. It’s made even better when you see a touring-pro like Blanchard
taking on up-and-comer Low in the final match. You’ll see them both move on in their careers —
and all the competitors will certainly remember Amador County and the good times and competition that played out here.

Developing your approach is like learning a new dance step. Call it, “Bowling Ball Ballet” if you
like. The motions should be just that fluid and precise. Unfortunately for fans of that fine art, the
description of those movements are more akin to a country music ballad. The lyrics go something
like this:
BOWLING BALL BALLET BALLAD
Grab my partner, assume my stance;
Face my target, it’s time to dance.
Toward second arrow I take a step,
But nothing else can happen yet.
Posture set, my aim is true,
I keep going and take step two.
As I move, I check my grip
Then push that ball away from my hip.
Right foot moves, it’s now step three,
That ol’ right arm is swinging free.
“Drop-stop-roll!,” is what I think,
As step four takes me to the brink.
Step five ends this short dance story,
I release the ball, it goes for glory.
Watch it roll, what will it do?
Yahoo! It hit arrow number two!!!
Now be honest. Do you still want to take up this sport? You do? Well then, enjoy a long and
glorious career. You still have much to learn and challenges to face. If I’ve done my job, you’re
ready for them.
Commentary
The transformation from novice to casual, then competitive bowler is like the story of, “The
Ugly Duckling.” The awkward novice develops graceful ability. A once-shy youngster becomes a
confident and competent competitor. A wall-flower becomes a champion. You get the idea. It takes
a bit of effort, but it’s worth it.

would make sure the picture
of Tom was clearly seen by the
officer and most of the time,
it did keep her from getting a
ticket.
In her 40’s she bowled at
Alhambra Valley Bowl (with
me) and three other red headed gals in a Men’s 925 scratch
league as well as in the San
Gabriel Valley Women’s Traveling League. She worked as a
bartender at the L.A. Athletic
Club where she met Keith,
who became the love of her
life.
I remember a lot about Bert
including the 25 years she was
head of the Donkee Tournament Club and the years when
she loved and collected clown
figurines. But there are a few
things that Bert doesn’t allow
me to talk about. Although she
doesn’t have red hair anymore
she is still absolutely beautiful
inside and out and loves talking and joking with her numerous friends of all ages. Give a
warm hug and a big hello smile
when you see her.

shots and raced away to a 201-168 win as Pittsburgh was unable
to roll back-to-back strikes. The Jack Rabbits figured out the
lane conditions in game two, however, with Bryon Smith, Dan
MacLelland, Ryan Ciminelli, Osku Palermaa and anchor bowler
Wes Malott finishing the game with nine consecutive strikes to
run away with a 270-208 victory to force the roll-off.
In the roll-off, Malott gave Dallas anchor Shawn Maldonado
a chance to win when he left a 10 pin, but Maldonado’s shot was
light in the pocket, leaving the 2-5 and handing Pittsburgh a 9-8
victory.
“I got my shot inside a little and fortunately had enough roll
on the ball to get nine pins,” Malott said. “It looked to me like
Shawn did the same thing and only got eight pins. We were coming off a big game, but you still have to make quality shots in
the end.”
Malott and his teammates also embraced the non-stop roar of
the crowd.
“Who wouldn’t like it?” he said. “It’s a little different kind
of atmosphere, but we could get used to it. When the money’s
on the line, it’s still about making shots, but it’s also about having fun with your team. I hope we come back next year and do
it again.”
L.A. X had game one in hand in the second match against the
Barbasol Motown Muscle, despite both teams having difficulties finding the pocket. Trailing by 11 pins after eight frames,
Motown anchor Ronnie Russell was unable to convert Mike DeVaney’s ninth-frame strike into a double to take the lead when he
left a 10 pin on his first shot in the 10th frame. Russell converted
the spare, forcing L.A. X anchor Jason Belmonte to get a mark
for the win, Belmonte left the 2-4-8 and missed the spare to hand
Motown a 182-179 win.
Both teams battled for the lead in game two before L.A. X
broke it open with back-to-back strikes by Andres Gomez and
Martin Larsen. Belmonte’s three strikes in the 10th clinched the
228-192 decision to force the roll-off where Belmonte threw a
strike and Russell left a 10 pin.
“In the 10th frame of the first game, my left hand slipped off
the ball in my backswing,” Belmonte, a two-handed player, said.
“I should have stopped, but I figured we had a second game and
if it got down to one shot, I’d redeem myself. When you perform
as badly as I did the first time, you’d better make sure when you
get a chance to make up for it, you throw the best shot of your
life.”
Next Sunday’s Elias Cup semifinal round matches will also
be decided in best-of-two-game Baker format team matches.
The two winners will advance to the Elias Cup finals on ESPN
on Sunday, April 19 at 1 p.m., where the title will be decided
in a single, alternate-ball doubles, Baker trios and Baker team
competition. The singles, doubles and trios matches each will be
worth one point, and the Baker team match will be worth three
points.

Jackie Picked Up The Phone
by Jackie Henney
NORWALK — Carol Mancini wrote in the last issue of the
California Bowling News to pick up the phone! I did!
I’m sorry about all the lovely people in bowling that are gone.
After being around bowling for almost 60 years I too feel bad
about our losses.
I’m still here at 90 years old and still take care of our Action
Lanes Seniors. I was mainly at Santa Anita Lanes for 30 years
until they closed.
I still love bowling and love putting this league together. It is
a No-Tap Mixed 4 league. All are welcome and we start again on
June 11th Thursday at 1 p.m.
We bowl for 23-24 weeks then go to the Orleans in Vegas. This
is a friendly group of men and women 50 and above in age.
On April 9th at noon we are having a Rummage and Jewelry
Sale. You are invited and all proceeds go to the league members
plus they receive their prize money and trip at the end of the
league. Please call me at 626-294-9074 if you are interest in
joining or just to say Hello.
Editor’s Note: Santa Anita Lanes was one of the busiest centers
in So.Calif. ‘til their lease was up. Jackie had a reputation....”No
bowler could say “NO” to her”!!. You were the best Jackie,
Thanks for picking up the phone. Keep those seniors bowling.

have been around a long time can’t compete with the players
of today using the power game, so we have become what I like
to call ‘craft players,’” Duke said. “Through all the years you
develop your ability so much that it becomes a craft where you
take your experiences and techniques and draw on them to stay
competitive, rather than just being able to rely on one particular
dimension of your game. It’s something that has just naturally
prepared me well for the PBA50 Tour.”
Once again Duke will be among a field of PBA legends competing in New Port Richey who compete full time on both the
PBA Tour and PBA50 Tour. They include fellow Hall of Famers
Walter Ray Williams Jr., Pete Weber, Parker Bohn III and Pasco
County Open defending champion Amleto Monacelli.
“I’ll say one thing, on both Tours there’s no “just getting by
days,” Duke said. “You need to be strong day in and day out if
you want to be successful.
“When I was young I never saw myself competing on the
PBA50 Tour but now I’m embracing it,” he added. “I’ve accepted that this is another stage in my career and I need to build on
that.”
The Pasco County Florida Open begins on Sunday, April 12
with qualifying rounds at 10 a.m. Qualifying continues on April
13. Match play rounds will take place on April 14 with the stepladder finals getting underway at approximately 7 p.m. Practice
and pro-ams will be conducted on Saturday, April 11.
The Pasco County Open will be covered start-to-finish on
PBA’s online bowling channel Xtra Frame. Fans can follow PBA
action through the entire PBA Network which includes wall-towall coverage of an expanded schedule of live events on Xtra
Frame, player interactions through Facebook and Twitter, mobile
gaming, original programming, archived events and immediate
news updates 24/7 on varying communications devices anywhere in the world. For additional PBA Network information

Pickwick Bowl

921 Riverside Dr.
Burbank, CA 91506
(818) 842-7188
BURBANK — Surely, by now, all are aware of the sad
news of another bowling center being shut down. This
is unfortunately a trend that is rearing it’s ugly head. For
those who do not know, Mission Hills Bowl will be closing
it’s doors for the last time on May 31st.
Mission is a center, along with Pickwick, in which I have
spent many pleasurable hours of bowling with friends and
family. It’s closing is not a matter of lack of leagues. The
house was full almost nightly. However, low league presence is the common cause of bowling center closures.
Very often, the addition of parties, etc is just not enough to
keep these high maintenance businesses afloat.
As Pickwick bowlers, this should give us pause to think.
If we want our center and leagues to thrive, we need to promote our leagues from the inside out. Yes, Pickwick will do
all it can to advertise and bring new people into the center
but the best advertising of all is word of mouth.
It is up to us as league bowlers to let others, who may
be interested, know how much fun we have. How much we
value our friendships made through our leagues and how
they can become a part of it all. Committing to a league is
tough, no doubt. But there are some awesome rewards to
doing so. Give those ‘other’ friends in your life a chance to
become ‘bowling’ friends as well!

The Professional Approach Maintain Their Lead In Round 5 TOP 10 TEAMS ROUND 5
DOWNEY — It was a HUGE change from last round as
we had 6 Perfect games and 2 800 Series shot tonight as the
lanes played a little more favorable for the bowlers. Leading
the way was Eric Snow with 300/824, but despite his heroics, his team was taken down 4-1 by The Pro Approach as
there were plenty of honor scores shot. The Professional Approach was led by Jared Lawrence who also shot 300 on his
way to 791, part time teammate Frank Barefoot contributed
706. Blizz Yogurt blended their way to a fruity sweep job
of Linder Insurance as Greg Neuer paved the way with 699.
Lots of high scores tonight so IF you don’t shoot 700, don’t
ask me to be impressed!!!
The Pro Approach and Blizz Yogurt square off next
week, both at 13-2. Next up is Pino’s Pizza who swept past
Tifco Industries to move to 11-4. Pino’s was led by Leonard
Ruiz Jr. who posted 300/772 and Ramon Torres wit h723,
while Tifco’s top gun was Albert Chen with 719. Power
House Video Games remained in contention, going 3-2 over
Team DV8. Eddie VanDaniker and Lee Liu once again led
the winning Power House team, shooting 731 & 704, however it was Brent Ilagan gaining top honors for the pair with
300/775 to lead DV8.
Another perfecto was turned in by Buddy Lucas, he shot
300/736 to lead his Los Altos Trophies team to a 4-1 win
over a struggling J.A.T., who were led by DeeRonn Booker
with 641. Paced by the great bowling of Jonathan Gale, Herzog Insurance edged by CASAMIGO’S Tequila 3-2 to end
the night at 9-6. Jonathan shot 758 to dominate the pair, as
he ended over 100 pins higher than Vernon Adams who was
tops for Tequila for 654.
Alhambra Coin Center didn’t have any honor scores,
but did manage to shoot the Team High Series for the night,
combining for a huge 2862, or an average of 238 a game per
man. T. J. Abahazy 781 and Steven Gaucin 733 led the way,
while Matt Schermerhorn shot 759 to lead Cook’s Bowling Supply. BOWLIUM took down GJC Services 4-1 as
Christopher Sutton led the way with 668. Joey Hanna shot
698 as the top scorer for GJC to lead his team and the pair.
American Harvest Vodka pulled out 4 wins as Mike Mellick
led the way with 695 and helped move his team out of the
basement. In a matchup of the Top 2 seeds, nobody managed to shoot 700, but Bobby Campagnale went one better
as he finished with a perfect 300 game to end the night with
a second honor score of 800 series to lead Erickson Foods
to a 4-1 over Keystone Lanes. Arnold Cheesman topped the
Keystone crew with 681. Our last match featured the #3 &
#4 seeds going head to head, with SYSCO coming out on
top 4-1 in a close match, as Charlie Kinstler led the way with
707. Topping Forest Lanes was Mike Nakunz with 668.
Sidepot winners were Game 1 – Leonard Ruiz 300,
Game 2 –Eric Snow 300, good for both 2nd Game and 1st
in Financial Advisor’s pot. Matt Schermerhorn got 2nd for
$100 with 279. Game 3 Super Pot went to Bobby Campagnale with another 300, as all sidepots took perfection. The
TRUE ANCHOR award once again goes to Ricardo Baca
with a respectable 540, as he was low “man”. Tiana Tipton
struggled to 527, to be low for the ladies…
I told you right here last week, if you are a fan of Honor
Scores, you needed to come down to Del Rio. Last night
provided plenty of strikes as we had a record tying 6 Perfect
Games shot along with two 800 series. There was plenty
of action all around, as the whole league averaged 218.7 as
only 7 bowlers failed to reach 600. Next week we will try to
break the record and have 7 different bowlers hit the coveted
300, come down to Del Rio in Downey next Monday and
see if we get it done. Have a blessed week everyone!
