ALLEN PARK, Mich. -

Kelly Kulick of Union,

N.J., earned the right to

become the first woman to bowl in the Professional

Bowlers Association

Tournament of Champions

thanks to her victory in the

inaugural PBA Women's

World Championship at

Thunderbowl Lanes in

suburban Detroit.

Kulick, the only woman

ever to earn an exemption

to bowl full-time on the

Lumber Liquidators PBA

Tour, defeated Shannon

Pluhowsky of Phoenix,

219-204, to win the newly-

created major champi-

onship for women

bowlers. In addition to her

berth in the PBA

Tournament of Champions

Jan. 19-24 at Red Rock

Casino in Las Vegas,

Kulick earned $15,000 and

a spot in the end-of-season

PBA Women's Showdown

Kulick bowled a clean game

including a late string of three

strikes to build a 35-pin lead in

the eighth frame.

Pluhowsky finished with four

strikes in a row, but it wasn't

enough to overcome an uncon-

verted 8-10 split in her third

frame.

"It's a long overdue win,"

Kulick said. "I've been knocking

on the door for awhile. I came

close in the (United States

Bowling Congress) Queens earli-

er in the year." Kulick finished

second to Liz Johnson of

Cheektowaga, N.Y., in the

Queens in Reno, Nev.

"Last year I wasn't exempt for

the PBA Women's Series and that

really gave me things to

think about. I was kind of

depressed at first and then I

really refocused," Kulickadded. "I asked myself if I

belonged out here, but I

went back to my routines -

worked out, exercised, prac-

ticed a lot - and ever since

the Queens, things have got-

ten better and better.

"Getting a chance to bowl

in the Tournament of

Champions is the icing on

the cake. You blow out the

candle and your wish comes

true. My focus was on win-

ning the title," she contin-

ued, "but now I not only get

to go to Las Vegas, but I get

to bowl with the guys,

which I've enjoyed doing in

the past.

"My only failure on the

men's tour (during the 2006-

07 season) was that I hit the

pocket as often as they did,

but I didn't knock down as

many pins because I don't have as

high of a rev rate. That said, if

you want to be the best, you have

to bowl against the best players,

so the only way I'm going to get

better is to bowl against them. I'll

enjoy the experience in the

Tournament of Champions and

we'll see what happens."

NO. ARLINGTON, NJ Ken

Carson blasted strikes to tally a

300 perfecto en route to an

impressive 817 set and Randy

2 SPORTS REPORTER November 4 - 10, 2009

Each year there are a few

cases where the prize funds

have been misplaced or mis-

used. This can happen only if

the league officers do not do

their job properly. The treasur-

er is in charge of the funds, but

an important part of the duties

of the president is to make

monthly audits of the leaguefunds.

The United States Bowling

Congress has bonding pro-

grams to protect the funds but

certain procedures must be fol-

lowed.

Too often the work of league

officers receives too little

acclaim. The league secretary

must compile all the stats, high

games, high series, averages

and all the rest, and make sure

the schedule proceeds properly.

The treasurer must see to the

collection and disbursement of

league fees. And the president,

with the guidance of team cap-tains, is in charge of the overall

operation of all league activities.

So it's important to choose

interested and capable persons

to the important league offices.

League prize funds range

from a few hundred dollars to

some with prize payoffs of more

than $50,000. Added all togeth-

er the total runs into hundreds

of millions of dollars. Toss in

the tournament prize money for

some 10,000 tournaments each

year, and the operating balances

of more than 5,000 bowling asso-

ciations, and you can see that

there's always a billion or moredollars coming into or going out

of various bowling accounts.

For the most part it's money

generated by bowlers, so they

should know that for the most

part, its well protected and

well spent.

It wasn't too many decades

ago when...

Many churches, firehouses,

and fraternal organization club

houses housed two or four

lanes, and church, fireman,

policeman and industrial and

fraternal leagues abounded.

There were few youngsters

bowling because in places such

as New York City you couldn't

even enter a bowling center

unless you were 18 or older.

A boy wonder was someonewho could average 190 before

he was old enough to vote and a

10-year American Bowling

Congress tournament average

of 190 put you with the elite.

No woman had ever rolled a

sanctioned 800 series and the

total number of approved 300

games each season by females

seldom reached double figures.

Head to head match games

were the order of the day, and

top stars often rolled 40, 60 and

80 game home and home

matches(that is where half the

games were bowled in each

teams center).No league or tournament

would consider anything but

five players on a team. Some

even went to six and as high as

10 on a team.

Bowling pins were made of

wood, inside and out.

High top bowling shoes were

the norm for men.

All bowling shirts for men

came in long sleeves and if you

wanted short sleeves you went

to a tailor or someone handy

with a needle.

Trophies were constructed of

real wood, real metals, and the

lettering was done by hand. Themost given award was belt buck-

les. And also popular were watch

fobs, while some tournaments

specialized in presenting winners

with live turkeys and pigs.

A bowling ball bag was con-

structed to hold and carry a

bowling ball, and it might just

have room for a pair of bowling

shoes because it never was

intended as a suitcase.

SEE?

Joan Taylors Ten Pin Rap. . . .In December of 2000 I wrote about a young man one

year after he had a double lung transplant. He had been

born with Cystic Fibrosis, and after a three-year wait,

he traveled to the University of Pittsburgh Medical

center for the surgery. He was out of bed and walking

three days later.

But thats not why I interviewed him. He had posted

his first 800 series, an 838 including a 300 game.

Before the surgery, he couldnt put in a full league

season for the previous five years.

He was approached to bowl in the Transplant

Olympics and did himself proud there, winning his

division. Eventually after the procedure, he rolled his

highest series ever, an 846 to cash in the grueling and

prestigious US Open.And now we fast-forward and find that in October of

2008 the organs that gave him new life had been fail-

ing, necessitating the process all over again. This time

he said, It was much rougher. I was on my back in the

hospital for three months and then I needed four

months of physical therapy But his raw determination

and cards and letters from friends got him back again

to the world of bowling, running a pro shop, and

coaching.

This is Al Jones, 43, who in September of this year

and also one month later, bowled 300 games in his

vacation league at Sparta Lanes. Like Chevy Chase in

Caddyshack he doesnt keep score or records. He

may have had 20 or 200 games of 300. The owner of

Pro Image Pro Shop at Sparta Lanes, Jones is going to

return to bowl in PBA Regional competition in the

spring. His highest finish to date has been third, no

small task.

By the way, for his latest perfectos, he used a ball

drilled byAl Jones. Amazing!

Speaking of amazing, Sandy Turner, who rolled her

first 300 in January of this year, did it again. This time

it was in the Kings and Queens League at Circle Lanes

(her first was at Rockaway Lanes). She rolled 224-

199-300 for a 723 series. Her high to date is 753. She

is still in pursuit of an 800. She was not nervous and

in fact this time all the strikes were good this time.

Turner, Wharton, celebrated her 25th anniversary in

September with the Hartford Insurance Company. She

again chose a ring for her achievement.* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

WAYNE, NJ - Chris Romeo was

of Our Lady of the Valley at T-

Bowl II as he rolled a 270 game en

route to a 727 series, closely fol-

lowed by Rob Gilbert at 265-711.

Harry Fivehouse tossed a 268

game in a 695 set followed by

Mark Galliano 237- 689, Rob

Morro 246-682, and Rich Shanley

238-650.

Vic Ingraffia rolled 11 in a row,

but unfortunately it encompassed2 games, 3 strikes in one game

then 8 in a row starting the next

game, winding up with a 267

game.

ARLINGTON, Texas - With a revised format and

live televised finals, the U.S. Women's Open, a

United States Bowling Congress event, will return

in 2010 with the qualifying and match-play rounds

hosted by Cityview Lanes, a 64-lane center in Fort

Worth, Texas.

The competition at Cityview Lanes, which will be

held May 6-11, kicks off a series of major bowling

events in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The 2010

USBC Hall of Fame dinner will take place May 11

at the City Club in downtown Fort Worth, while the

2010 USBC Hall of Fame induction ceremony will

take place May 12 on the grounds of theInternational Bowling Campus in Arlington.

Following the Hall of Fame ceremony, the live

televised finals of the U.S. Women's Open will take

place at the International Training and Research

Center in Arlington at 6:30 p.m. CDT on ESPN2.

For the first time since returning in 2007, the U.S.

Women's Open will feature round-robin match play.

Players will compete in three eight-game blocks

from May 7-9 with the top 24 players advancing to

match play May 10-11. The four players with the

best 48-game totals, including match-play bonus

pins, will compete in the live stepladder finals.

"Match play is a traditional part of major bowling

tournaments, and this format is more representative

of a true U.S. Women's Open test," USBC Vice

President of Media Pete Tredwell said. "And having

one live TV finals show instead of five taped TVfinals shows creates additional excitement while

being more cost effective."

Tammy Boomershine of North Ogden, Utah,

topped a field of 170 players, including 59 interna-

tional competitors, to win the 2009 event, which

was held at Strike Zone Bowling Center inside the

Sunset Station Hotel and Casino in Henderson,

Nev.

The qualifying and match play portions of the

2010 U.S. Women's Open will shift to Cityview

Lanes, the largest center in the Dallas-Fort Worth

metroplex.

"This will bring a lot of prestige for us," Cityview

General Manager Bill Blackerby said. "It's an

opportunity for us to show off the new look we

have at the center."

In conjunction with the U.S. Women's Open,

USBC will conduct its Hall of Fame ceremony out-

doors and separate from its annual tournament or

convention venue for the first time.

"Our goals in moving the inductions to Arlington

are to spotlight the new International Bowling

Museum and Hall of Fame and InternationalBowling Campus while possibly growing the event

into something big every year," Tredwell said. "The

inspiration for this idea comes from the annual

baseball and pro football ceremonies. Those venues

allow for large crowds and major media coverage.

Plus having it the same day as the U.S. Women's

Open brings more focus to both events."

The Veterans and Meritorious Service part of the

class of 2010 will be announced in November with

the Superior Performance inductees to follow in

December or January.

U.S. Womens Open Revised Again and

Now in Texas for 2010ARLINGTON, Texas - Lynda Barnes, the most tenured and one of the

most successful bowlers in the history of the Team USA program, will

retire from Team USA at the end of the year.

Barnes of Double Oak, Texas, has been a member of Team USA a

record 12 times and will step aside to spend more time with her family.

"I think it is time to focus more on my life and on my children," said

Barnes, 42, who is married to professional bowling star Chris Barnes

and has twin 7-year-old boys, Ryan and Troy. "When Troy was diag-

nosed with juvenile diabetes last year, it really changed the way I start-

ed to look at things.

"We are now very involved with the Juvenile Diabetes Research

Foundation (JDRF) and that has given me something to focus my

attention on. Plus, I don't want to miss anymore of watching the kidsplay baseball, bowling or basketball."

Barnes first joined Team USA in 1989 and left the program twice

(1992 and 1998) to turn pro but has been on the team since 2005. After

she returned from her short professional bowling stints, Barnes

returned to win the U.S. Amateur title each time, claiming the title in

1995 and 2005 and then again in 2007.

In international competition, Barnes has won dozens of medals,

including winning the QubicaAMF World Cup in 2005 and a gold

medal in team event at the 1991 Pan American Games.

Though she's retiring from Team USA action, Barnes will not give

up the sport entirely. She plans to continue bowling leagues and local

tournaments, while also gearing up for a couple of big events each

year.

Barnes said she plans to compete in the United States Bowling

Congress Queens, U.S. Women's Open and USBC Women's

Championships on an annual basis and perhaps other events as well.

"There's a big difference between bowling for your country andbowling for yourself," said Barnes, who won the Queens in 1998 and

2008. "When I'm bowling for Team USA, that's a year-long commit-

ment in terms of training. When I'm bowling for myself, I can put as

much or as little into i t as my time allows."

Barnes will remain a Team USA member through the end of 2009.

She will also continue to stay active in the sport as a member of the

USBC Board of Directors.

ARLINGTON, Texas - United States Bowling

Congress Chief Operating Officer Kevin Dornberger

has stepped down from his position and plans to

leave USBC next month. His last official day will

be Nov. 20.

"I am very proud of what we accomplished in

moving the organization to Arlington," Dornberger

said. "Now I feel like it is time for me to move on

and pursue other career challenges."

Dornberger was named Interim Chief Operating

Officer in July 2007 after the retirement of Roger

Dalkin and had the "Interim" tag removed in 2008.

Prior to his appointment as Interim COO, he had

been USBC Vice President for National Governing

Body since 2005. He also oversaw the organization's

legal affairs as General Counsel from 2005 to 2007.

He has been a leading force in attempting to getbowling more recognition as an international sport.

Before joining the full-time USBC staff,

Dornberger had been a member of the American

Bowling Congress Board of Directors since 1985

and was elected a vice president in 1995. When the

USBC was formed in 2005, he held the title of ABC

Executive Vice President. During his 20 years on

the Board, he also served as USA Bowling president

and administrative director. Active as a youth bowl-

ing volunteer for years, he was a youth coach and

later became president of the Sioux Falls, S.D.,

YABA local association in 1989.

"Kevin has been a central figure and key leader in

the sport of bowling for many years," USBC

Executive Director Stu Upson said. "He has helped

build a solid foundation for the organization's future

success. I wish Kevin all the best in his future

endeavors."

In addition to his more than four decades of serv-

ice to the bowling industry, Dornberger is an accom-

plished competitor as well. He was part of the 2001

ABC Tournament Team All-Events championship

team. Along with numerous state and local titles, hehas 16 perfect games and four 800 series to his cred-

it. He was inducted into the South Dakota Bowling

Hall of Fame in 1989 and the Sioux Falls Hall of

Fame in 2000.

Dornberger continues to serve as president of the

World Tenpin Bowling Association.
