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.

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.* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Chris Romeo
270-727 in OLVBy Al Smetana
WAYNE, NJ - Chris Romeo was
the big gun in the week 2 session
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.

4 SPORTS REPORTER November 4 - 10, 2009
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.
