CHAMPIONS CROWNED AT USBC SENIOR CHAMPIONSHIPS

Longtime Miami Herald writer and United States Bowling

Congress Hall of Famer Dick Evans passed away Sunday, July

4 after a brief battle with cancer. He was 78.

One of the most decorated bowling writers in history, Evans

was inducted into the Professional Bowlers Association Hall of

Fame in 1986 and the USBC Hall of Fame in 1992.

"Dick Evans was larger than life," USBC President Jeff Boje

said. "He was a teacher, historian and forever a visionary and

promoter of change. He never shied away from taking a posi-

tion but was always willing to listen and share other points of

view, and if convinced, would never hesitate to change his

mind. He will live on in my heart and the hearts of countless

other people who shared and cherished his words of wisdom

and deep devotion to friendship."

Evans, who was born on Sept. 20, 1931, joined The Miami

Herald in 1949 as a copy boy and started writing about bowling

in 1957. After his retirement from The Miami Herald in 1989,

he moved to Daytona Beach, Fla., where he continued to write

for The Miami Herald and the Daytona Beach News-Journal.

"Almost anyone who competed in professional bowling

nationally or participated in local leagues in South Florida from

the 1960s through the 1990s will know the name Dick Evans

and will have a lingering appreciation for the attention and

interest he brought to the sport," longtime Miami Herald

reporter Gary Long told The Miami Herald. "I'll remember him

as a good newspaperman, of course, but more as just a really

good guy. If you knew him, you liked him."

Evans, the youngest of three brothers to write for The

Miami Herald, first started with the paper as a delivery boy

in 1943 and then went on to assist the sports staff with foot-

ball scores between 1945-47. He became a full-time employ-

ee at age 17 and joined the paper's sports staff at age 20, cov-

ering various sports, including college football, high schools

and tennis.

A prolific bowling writer, Evans collected more than 60

writing contest awards from various bowling publications

over a span of more than 50 years. His weekly bowling sto-

ries for The Miami Herald were distributed by the Knight-

Ridder chain to 144 daily newspapers with a combined daily

circulation of more than 10 million papers.

In recognition for his contribution to the sport of bowling,

Evans was honored by various organizations, including the

Bowling Writers Association of America, the World Bowling

Writers, the Bowling Proprietors' Association of America and

the Billiard and Bowling Industry Association.

An avid tennis player, Evans also was recognized in 2002 as

Florida's top tennis writer. He continued to write about tennis

and bowling for the Daytona Beach News-Journal until his

death. His bowling stories have appeared in every bowling

magazine published and his features and opinion columns

were published by a number of regional bowling publications.

Evans is survived by his wife Jodie Evans, son, Richard V.

Evans, an attorney in Louisville, Ky., and three grandchildren

- Peyton, Carter and Walker.

RENO, Nev. - After two days of

competition at the 2010 United

States Bowling Congress

Senior Championships, 10

bowlers now can call them-

selves national champions.

Leading that group is Diane

Norblade of Axtell, Neb., a 62-

year-old right-hander who com-

peted at the USBC Senior

Championships for the first

time and was focused on having

a good time and making a good

showing for her home state.

"My goal was to come out and

just enjoy myself," said

Norblade, who claimed the

Women's Division- Class C title

with an eight-game total of

1,848, the highest in the

Women's Division. "I wanted to

represent the state of Nebraska

to the best of my ability. I also

bowled with some very nice

ladies, and to win is very excit-

ing."

Norblade's husband, Clark,

took some time off of work to

accompany her to the National

Bowling Stadium this week,

and it meant a lot for him to be

there for her victory

Wednesday.

"He typically doesn't get to

come with me because he is a

farmer, and this is his busy sea-

son," said Norblade, who is an

office manager for

Scandinavian Mutual Insurance

Co. and bowls league at Hasty

Lanes in Holdrege, Neb. "He

was able to take the time away,

and I am happy he was here to

share this with me. It was great

for him as well because he has

never seen the National

Bowling Stadium, which is a

great venue to bowl in."

Nearly 350 bowlers represent-

ing 47 states and three

Canadian provinces made the

trip to Reno with their sights set

on one of the 10 titles up for

grabs.

The Senior Championships is

a handicap singles tournament

consisting of two divisions-

Open (men and women) and

Women's. Each division

includes five age classifications

(Super Seniors: 75 and older;

Class A: 70-74; Class B: 65-69;

Class C: 60-64 and Class D: 55-

59). Handicap is based on 90

percent of 210.

After two four-game blocks

over two days, champions were

crowned in each classification

based on their eight-game pin-

fall.

Roger Ehlers of Cary, Ill.,

another first-time participant,

earned the Open Division Class

A title with a 1,775 total and

was shocked to hear his name

called as a winner.

"This is very exciting and

quite surprising," said Ehlers,

who bowls league at Kingpin

Lanes in Fox River Grove, Ill.

"This is the first time I entered

this tournament, and I was for-

tunate enough to win my state

competition and now the

national competition."

Ehlers, 74, always has been a

supporter of the game and is

happy to still be able to com-

pete at his age.

"I love the sport, and I love to

bowl," Ehlers said. "It's always

nice to bowl. To be able to still

compete at a decent level is

always nice for me."

The other winners in the Open

Division include: Super Senior-

John Weicker, Victoria, British

Columbia, 1,808; Class B-

Stoney Hotard, New Iberia, La.,

1,769; Class C- Jerry Kowaluk,

Vernon, Conn., 1,865 and Class

D- Rick Micek, South St. Paul,

Minn., 1,795.

The other winners in the

Women's Division include:

Super Senior- Jean Jones,

Fordyce, Ark., 1,801; Class A-

Joy Lyman, Helena, Mont.,

1,756; Class B- Lena Donahoe,

Chatham, Ontario, 1,778 and

Class D- Jennie Nubie, Daly

City, Calif., 1,824.

All champions received

$1,000 and a crystal bowling

pin. Each runner-up received a

commemorative clock, while

third place finishers received

plaques. All bowlers in the top

10 received prize checks.

Bowling Will Miss Hall of Famer

Dick Evans

When Dick Evans passed away

on July 4, I lost a pal, buddy,

friend, mentor, debating col-

league, sparring partner, and

punching bag plus all the other

intangibles that go into creating

what brothers in life are all about.

Bowling lost part of its soul.

I well remember when I present-

ed Dick with Hall of Fame and

other high honors and his son and

others commented to him that

they thought Chuck was your

friend.

Of course I was---to his dying

day. But that didn't mean that I

ever missed an opportunity to nee-

dle, jab or jolt, no matter where

we were or who was there.

We had an odd foursome of

brothers, Dick the diehard Florida

native, me, a Jersey-New York

guy, Joe Lyou, the cream of

California and John Jowdy, all

that a Texan can be.

Lyou was the oriental sage,

Jowdy the bowling equipment and

professor of professors, I was the

pro bowling and TV bowling spe-

cialist and Evans was the

reporter's reporter. Our group

was known as the bowling broth-

ers, the four musketeers, the four

meddlers and even the four

buzzing mosquitoes.

Together we piled up more than

200 years of almost every experi-

ence bowling could offer, the opin-

ions, the arguments, the personal-

ities, the history, the love.

Evans is now in that forever

niche so seldom achieved, his place

in history for all he did, all he

caused to be done, and all that he

still wanted done.

I remember Dick as a fearsome

fighter for the underdogs of bowling.

I remember him as a reporter

who respected facts, figures,

quotes and quips and never used

anything unless he checked it out

or received the data from sources

he trusted.

I remember that Dick and me

served more than 100 years on

major Hall of Fame committees,

ABC, WIBC, PBA, PWBA and

USBC, to name a few. We never

agreed fully but respected the

other guy's opinion.

We froze covering bowling

events in Buffalo, Detroit and

Chicago and melted covering

events in Miami, New Orleans and

Las Vegas. Would you believe

more than 100 events in Las

Vegas. Believe it.

We endlessly discussed every

portion of every bit of bowling

controversy and were still doing it

the week of his passing. No subject

was too small or too large, nor was

any person.

That took all the time Evans

could give from his reporter

chores at the Miami Herald. His

awards from every organization

for his writing and other contribu-

tions would not only make a great

museum exhibit, they would make

a museum. His positions on bowl-

ing committees would fill a book-

let; his list of friends would fill a

book. His soft, inner charitable

side would reveal a man of depth

and understanding, one who

labored over the effects of his sto-

ries and ideas-some that have or

could have changed the course of

the game.

At every bowling event Dick

always saved a seat for me---I

hope he reserved the one next to

him now---the one he has in

heaven.

EVANISMS:

"Bowling events should start the

time they are advertised to start.”

Evans fought a longtime battle for

time schedules so reporters could

make proper arrangements to

gain the most space in their publi-

cations.

"To gain more respect we have

to give more respect to our sport."

Evans felt that too many times the

bowling industry favored other

sports stars over own talented

bowling personalities.

"We have too many golf events

at bowling gatherings." Evans

caused many a bowling meeting or

convention to add active bowling

tournaments to their programs.

"The PBA is still the best road to

attention for the sport."

Evans long association with

major high school, college and

such major events as auto racing,

bowl games and the Super Bowl

saw the path to notice was to con-

stantly elevate bowling as a sport.

"Bowling has always been the

people's sport."

Amen---PEZZANO

Special Note:A memorial service to honor the

life of Dick Evans will be conduct-

ed Friday, July 30 at Lohman

Funeral, 1423 Bellvue, Daytona

Beach, Fla., Phone (386) 267-1100.

The family requests that any

notes, letters or cards to remem-

ber Dick be sent to the Evans fam-

ily home at 121 Morning Dove Ct.,

Daytona Beach, Fla., 32118, to be

used as part of celebration of his

life.

The results of the Morris County USBC Bowling Association

53rd Annual Champion of Champions Tournament are in. This

was held on June 12 and 13. For the handicap team standings,

first place went to PBAX All Stars from Rockaway Lanes with

members Thomas Lulewicz, Michael Travaglio, Larry Timpson,

Nichole Spratford and Keith Garrison, who rolled 3588 gross.

The were followed by L.O.F.T (Sparta Lanes), 3566, Jersey Boys

(Plaza Lanes), 3543, Burns Retail (Circle Lanes), 3535, and Los

Boriguas, Rockaway Lanes, 3510. For the scratch team honors,

it was Burns Retail (Jim Hosier, Chris Lynch, Jeff Morin, Brent

Tishuk and Stephen Aiello), 3535, followed by Hollywood Pools

(Circle Lanes), Sam Simone, John Turner, Richard Griffith,

Jayson Brown and Larry Dickson, 3327. Top high games were

rolled by Curtis Bailey, 300 and Krista Cutler, 279. High Series

went to Jim Hosier, 807 and Nichole Spratford, 743. A total of 49

first-place county teams entered for a total prize fund of $1568.

Next week we will have the results of the Geico PBA Team

Shootout that was broadcast on ESPN. This is fun to watch

because it features teams of five pro bowlers representing man-

ufacturers (Ebonite, Brunswick, Storm, and 900 Global) bowl-

ing in the Baker format, where each player bowls a frame, then

starting with the sixth frame, bowls a frame again on a rotating

basis. There is an “endless tenth frame” which allows teams that

are behind in scoring to add onto their final frame as long as

three strikes have been bowled there and they keep striking.

And finally, it is unusual because it took place outdoors at Six

Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, NJ. In addition to the

Manufacturers’ Cup (trophy), the winning team will be awarded

$80,000.

For skeptics who say they can’t watch bowling on television

because it’s boring, what about an entire hour devoted to a pro-

fessional basketball player announcing where he will play next

season? I can’t imagine an entire hour on ESPN featuring

Walter Ray Williams, Jr., deciding whether to stay with 900

Global or switch to Brunswick or Storm. Are you kidding me?

Sunday a bunch of us were at Majestic Lanes in Hopelawn for

the annual Garden State Games. This tournament was original-

ly part of a larger sports program encompassing many indoor

and outdoor sports. For at least the first year, there were actu-

ally opening ceremonies featuring athletes parading around a

track. Then there was a big outdoor reception at a local hotel in

Raritan. I remember it well because a couple of us were at a

table with other athletes, some of whom were already wearing

medals. We were asked what our sport was and when we said

“bowling,” one man snickered. So I asked him what he had

earned his gold medal in and the response was “Fast walking.”

I snickered long and hard.

WEST HAVERSTRAW, NY –

While saying goodbye to family

at his grandmother's birthday

dinner earlier this year, Mike

Zacchio knew there was still a

small chance at making it back in

time for the first game of his

league at Hi-Tor Lanes. Once in

the car, he decided it wasn't

worth the rush to maybe make

the game.

Traffic permitted and Zacchio

phoned teammate, Ray Kogut

asking what frame the team was

in. "We just ended the first

[frame]," said Kogut. “Cool, I'll

be there by the fourth frame –

just stall if necessary,” said

Zacchio. There was no need for

the stall when he showed up near

the end of the third frame, more

than a half hour late.

After throwing his shoes on

and without practice, Zacchio,

20, tossed the series of a life-

time; firing games of 279, 268,

and 288 for an 835 series. “The

funny thing was, my thumb was

so swollen that it barely even got

in the ball,” he said. Zacchio

struck in 29 of the 34 possible

shots on a night that almost saw

his first perfect game as well. “I

really just wanted 800, I wasn't

even thinking about a 300 until

the final frame,” he said.

It was nearing midnight and

even though every other pair in

the house had already finished,

many stuck around to see

Zacchio's run at perfection. With

the 800 safely locked up,

Zacchio picked up his Hammer

Jigsaw and approached the lane.

“To be honest, I really wasn't all

that nervous,” he said. “I asked

my friend if all the people stand-

ing around were staying for me

– he sarcastically said, 'no'; it

was more exciting than any-

thing.”

Zacchio tugged the ball in a

little bit but still managed to

strike on the 10th. “I couldn't

believe that carried,” he said. “I

looked back at my friend, A-Rod

and saw him laughing too – I

knew we were thinking the same

thing.” The debate on whether to

move left or if it was just him

began before the 11th shot. At

the stroke of midnight, another

small tug on the next shot sent

the pins flying back into the pit;

all but the nine-pin. “I just stood

laughing at it to myself,”

Zacchio said. “I really thought it

was going to be tonight too.”

The 835 surpassed Larry

Granto's high series for the

league (and county) of 833,

which, ironically, was shot

against Zacchio. “And on the

ride over I was just thinking

about that night,” Zacchio said.

“I said to myself, 'how the hell

can someone shoot 299, 297,

833?' That's ridiculous; of course

it would happen against me – but

at least I have a funny story to

tell.” Little did he know he

would top that score in just three

short hours. “I wasn't calculating

anything in my head; I knew I

had an 800 and that I just blew a

300 – I didn't care about any-

thing else.”

Kogut tallied up the total and

wrote in the 825 on the sheet. “I

remember saying, 'damn, if I

would've thrown them all I

would've passed Larry'."

Another teammate, John

DiMinno was the one who

caught Kogut's mathematical

error. “It's 835,” said DiMinno.

“I went nuts – I hugged my best

friend, Jonathan Coe right

away,” Zacchio said. “He's a

good kid, I'm really happy for

him,” said Mike Kenney, a mem-

ber of the Board of Directors for

the Rockland County Bowling

Association.

Many around the alley are giv-

ing praise, while some seek

revenge. “I ran into Larry after

this week; he joked saying he's

gonna have to pump out some

840's to top me,” said Zacchio.

It was a night him and his

friends will never forget. “It was

such a surreal night,” said

Zacchio. “My friends and co-

workers being there cheering me

on every frame – it doesn't get

any better than that... except the

300 would have been nice,” he

joked. “I felt like I couldn't

miss, like I walked up there

knowing that no matter what I

did, I was going to strike,” said

Zacchio. “If your a bowler who

has felt that even once, you

know. If you haven't, it's some

feeling.”

“Perhaps the best part of it all

was that it ended at 12:01 a.m.

the next day, which was my

father's birthday,” said Zacchio.

“For my biggest night to happen

on a cross between my grand-

mother and father's birthday was

unbelievable.”

“My dad called me about a

week and a half ago saying that a

300 would be a terrific 50th

birthday gift after I had a good

series the previous night. When I

called him after this, I told him I

missed the 300 for him, but that

he'd have to settle for an 835.”

He said, “I think I can live with

that.”

Memories of Mike Zacchio’s 835 Set

RENO, Nev. - After a lengthy hiatus from the Storm Bowlers Journal Championships, presented by

USBC, Paul Fleming of Fort Worth, Texas, made up for his absence with a memorable performance at the

2010 event.

Fleming, who missed the Bowlers Journal Championships while he was bowling full-time on the Lumber

Liquidators Professional Bowlers Association Tour, claimed the Open Singles title this year and finished

second in Classic Singles and Mixed Doubles with Team USA member Stefanie Nation.

The 42-year-old right-hander grabbed the top spot in Open Singles with games of 235, 245, 277 and 261

for a 1,018 total and nearly made it a pair of singles wins when he briefly took the lead in Classic Singles

three days later with 988.

Anthony Thompson of Redding, Calif., went on to win the Classic Singles crown, however, with games of

248, 256, 299 and 224 for a 1,027 total a week later.

Fleming took home $10,000 for his Open Singles victory and $1,300 for his runner-up finish in Classic

Singles. Thompson earned $2,000 for his singles title and an additional $600 for topping the Dual Entry

standings, which includes bowlers who chose to use their four-game totals for doubles and singles at the

same time.

"This feels great," said Fleming, who shared $500 for his second-place Mixed Doubles effort with Nation.

"I was surprised to hang on because even though the previous-leading score (1,017) was pretty huge, I was

able to bowl well enough to take the lead. However, I was a little worried that my score wouldn't hold up."

Fleming's return to the United States Bowling Congress Open Championships in 2009 did not include a

visit to the Bowlers Journal, so he arrived in Reno three days early to make sure he had time to compete.

After a lesson from USBC Silver coach Mike Jasnau at Lane 81, inside the pro shop area at the National

Bowling Stadium, he headed over to the Bowlers Journal, which was held at the Grand Sierra Resort &

Casino.

"I definitely had a good game plan, and it worked great," Fleming said. "I think I am going to continue

that in the future and possibly get there a few days earlier. I was a little anxious for the tournament to be

over, though. As the weeks went by, I started to get a little more anxious, so I am very excited to win."

In the 205 & Under Singles, Ryan Colburn of Falconer, N.Y., tossed games of 299, 236, 235 and 169 for a

939 total and earned $2,500 for the victory, while Clarence Moch of Napoleon, N.D., outdistanced his 180

& Under "Pins Over Average" Singles competitors with games of 230, 189, 184 and 207 for an 810 total.

His effort earned him $1,000.

Six days before the end of this year's event, Kerry Painter of Henderson, Nev., made his way to Reno and

put himself in position for a senior sweep with games of 242, 242, 264 and 248 for a 996 total. The effort

helped him to the $5,000 Senior Singles title and the top spot in Senior Doubles with his brother, Roger

Painter of Woodbridge, Va. Roger contributed games of 224, 198, 187 and 243 for 852 and a 1,848 overall

total, which earned them $2,000.

"It feels pretty good," said Painter, who teamed up with Nick Morgan of Sacramento, Calif., to win Senior

Doubles at the 2008 event in Albuquerque, N.M. "My brother and I weren't worried about winning. We

were just focused on bowling well. We just bowled because we always do. It also feels nice to win the sin-

gles portion because I have never won the singles title, and I am double elated."

Leading the way in Open Doubles was 2010 PBA Rookie of the Year Anthony LaCaze of Melrose Park,

Ill., and former Team USA member Erik Vermilyea of Mansfield, Texas, who combined for a record total of

1,972.

LaCaze paced the pair with games of 257, 247, 269 and 247 for a 1,020 total, while Vermilyea added 258,

256, 215 and 223 for 952. The duo took the lead on April 2 and had the longest wait of all the tournament

champions.

LaCaze, 27, is headed back to the PBA Tour as an exempt player for the 2010-11 season after winning the

Earl Anthony Memorial Classic in Dublin, Calif., and is excited to be heading into the new season, which

starts in October, on such a high note.

"It feels great to be on top," said LaCaze, whose first television appearance came two seasons ago as an

amateur. "This year has been great, and to win doubles with Erik is even better. We both had pretty good

looks on the lanes, and we were able to shoot a score that held up. It has been a great year."

The husband and wife duo of Robin and Billy Orlikowski of Grand Rapids, Mich., earned the Mixed

Doubles title with a 1,838 total, also a record at the Bowlers Journal Championships. Billy led the way with

games of 236, 267, 257 and 189 for a 949 set, and Robin added games of 181, 236, 223 and 249 for 889.

This year's event also saw a record-breaking performance by Bryan O'Keefe of Arlington, Texas, whose

1,054 total on games of 275, 286, 258 and 235 was the highest individual set on the tournament lanes since

the event changed to a four-game format in 2006.

Unfortunately for O'Keefe, his record score came during doubles, and he was not entered in singles at the

same time. He did not go away empty-handed, however, as the effort helped him and Chris Viale of

Westfield, Mass., to a fourth-place finish in Open Doubles with 1,932.

Chad Maas of Brookfield, Wis., previously held the four-game record with 1,045, which he shot on the

way to the Classic Singles title in 2008.

This year's Bowlers Journal saw nearly 5,000 unique bowlers take to the lanes at the Grand Sierra. In all,

there were five 300 games, six 299s, one 298 and three 800 series.

Presenting sponsors for the 2010 USBC Open Championships are Circus Circus, Eldorado Hotel Casino

Hackensack, NJ – The Stan

Niemiec Youth Travel League

returned to Bowler City after an

absence of seven weeks and

Montvale I’s Ryan Cauwels took

kindly to the change, rattling the

tenpins with a session best 214,

233, 209-656. Although short-

handed, the team managed to

take the middle game from pace-

setting Fair Lawn II as Ryan had

help from Kendall Tinston 169

and Bobby Manella 166, both

over-average efforts. The league

leaders benefited from strong

outings by 13-year-old Jake

Rollins 268-652, Tiana Warren

214 and Chris Marco-Hunt

196,189.

Holiday Bowl II remained just

two points back of the lead as

they prevailed in two of three

against Montvale II. Colette

Malyack saved her best for last

by striking out in the tenth frame

to rally HB II to a narrow 894-

879 third game win. Her 204

gave Colette 554 for the after-

noon while teammates’ Amy

Silvestro 192,181 and Jeremy

Scott 178,168 provided ample

support. Tallying some nice num-

bers for Montvale II were anchor

Brian O’Flaherty 213,212,228-

653, Nick Rossi 216, Bryan Kist

209,202 and Shannon Rossi 171.

Bowler City had all cylinders

going as the quartet swarmed

past the vacancy score to handily

earn all seven points. Ray Geller

led the attack with 224,194 fol-

lowed by Stacy Fernandez 199-

552, Ryan Perez 190 and David

Grant 179. Rounding out the

day’s action, Fair Lawn I over-

whelmed Holiday Bowl I as 14-

year-old Simon Lezaja pounded

out a 233-623 and young Hunter

Perry pitched in with a148. HB

I’s best came from Kevin

Macchia 204,200, Brian Rizzi

199 and Alex Hubelbank

186,170. The afternoon’s most

spectacular occurrence was

brought about by Fair Lawn I’s

Isiah Tolbert; the 12-year-old

southpaw made the 7-10 split in

the second game by firing his

delivery into the 10-pin which

then bounced off the sidewall

across the lane, taking out the 7-

pin. Many of the spectators com-

mented that it was the first time

they had ever seen the extremely

difficult split converted.
