ZABELLE AND SATCHER TEAM UP TO
WIN THE OBA TRIANGLE DOUBLES
January 10, 2012 Longview, WA The Satchman’s Pro Shop OBA
held at Triangle Bowl drew 51 teams from around the northwest.
Lucas Stone and Ryan Losli combined for +455 to lead all teams
after qualifying. We cut to the top 16 teams, and locals Jared
McNeal and Jeff Schulz were the number at +301. We paid 17
spots and there was a tie for the last check between Lonnie
Sharkey/Tracy Teeters and Todd Brown/Justin Clement at +297.
Longtime OBA bowlers Trent Zabelle and tournament sponsor
Lance Satcher paired up together for the first time as doubles
partners. They qualified in 7 th place at +361. Their first match
was against Dean Bollinger and Jason Trees. Zabelle’s 268 game
along with Satcher’s 196 helped them earn the win and the im-
portant bonus pins 464-443. The Zabelle/Satcher team then found themselves on the losing side of a close match against John
Huggett and Frank West 438-425, which dropped them to 8 th place. Zabelle/Satcher then vaulted them back up to 3 rd place after
shooting a huge 527 team score against Ron Martinson and Corey Stackhouse’s 416. In the final position round Zabelle/Satcher
got ran over by Scott Howell and Curtiss Bergheim 515-455, however they had enough pin fall to stay in the top 5 for the step lad-
der finals.
The baker top 5 matches always seem to bring in a new level of excitement. Zabelle and Satcher started out by beating Frank
West and John Huggett 214-174. Zabelle and Satcher then disposed of Ryan Losli and Lucas Stone 280-214, only a solid 8 pin in
the 2 nd frame stood in the way of their combined perfect game. Zabelle and Satcher posted another solid game of 203 to Scott
Howell and Curtiss Bergheim’s 174, advancing to the title match.
Top seeds Stoney Brown and “Whoo” Bob Porter put up one heck
of a fight against Satcher and Zabelle. The match was tight frame
to frame. The key moment in the match was in the 9 th frame
when set up man Trent Zabelle sent a messenger rolling and took
out the 4 pin enabling anchor Lance Satcher to secure their victory
in the 10 th frame. The final score was 245-239. Congratulations
to Lance and Trent, each winning their second titles! It was a long
time in between titles; both Trent and Lance’s last titles were in
the late 1990’s. Trent won at Cascade Lanes (now closed) and
Lance won at Wilsonville Lanes.
Thank you to Scott Little, Beau Little, Kurt Bogner and their staff
for hosting our OBA event. We also appreciate Lance Satcher and
Satchman’s Pro Shop for sponsoring the $500 added money into
the tournament; this was Lance’s 3 rd year in a row sponsoring the
OBA! Our next event is Sunday February 12, 2012 at AMF Pro 300
Lanes in Portland. It will be a one day, one squad event sponsored

What’s Too Much?
By
Gary Yamasaki
So, where is the line between using emotion constructively and let-
ting emotion ruin your performance?
During one tournament at a renowned establishment that is no
longer standing, I was witness to two such incidents. The first in-
volved a bowler that had left his seventh corner pin in the first nine
frames of the first game of the last qualifying block of this tourna-
ment. Starting this last block, this bowler was just outside the cut
for the finals and needed a good performance to advance. Even
after the third corner pin, you could see the frustration mount for
this bowler. As the corner pins started to add up, the bowlers cross-
ing with this bowler started to give the bowler a very wide berth as
it was apparent an explosion was imminent. Sure enough when
that seventh corner pin popped up, the bowler took his glasses off,
took a good look at them as he was moving back from the foul line
and proceeded to use a two-handed chest pass to launch the glass-
es into the settee area from the front row of dots on the approach.
Now this was a bold and impressive move for two reasons: one, the
glasses were thick and obviously very much needed for this bowler
to see; and two, he launched the glasses between three bowlers
standing in the settee area without hitting any of the three.
What was really remarkable was the bowler proceeded to pick up
the spare without his glasses and after moving to the next pair of
lanes for the second game, changed balls, and used that very frus-
trating first game as motivation to bowl even better. By channeling
that frustration into a ‘me-against-the-world (or possibly the lane-
man)’attitude, the bowler went on to post a very good block and
made the finals.
The second incident was a little more dramatic and ended with a
withdrawal and fine slip for the bowler. After a frustrating shot, the
bowler proceeded to just drill the ball return with a vicious kick.
The kick was so hard, the hood of the ball return came completely off the ball return. The bowler then calmly moved to straighten the hood and looked as if things would
blow over. However, he then took two steps back, much like a place kicker measuring his steps before attempting a field goal, and proceeded to kick the ball return even
harder. The bowler then walked out of the settee area and headed for the door, apparently done for the day. Now, this obviously is an example of letting emotions getting
the better of a bowler.
How does one vent and channel constructively as opposed to venting and becoming destructive? Is it how are brains are wired? Can emotions be controlled and be har-
nessed for the positive actions or is simply minimizing damage the best that is possible?
I was asked the other day, “You know when you just feel the need to explode and there’s nothing you can do to stop it?” I answered, “No, not really.” The person asking the
question who knows me very well just looked at me, shook his head and said, “Yeah, I suppose you don’t.”
I guess we’re just wired differently, but I wonder what the impact really has been to our bowling performances. Is a certain amount of fiery emotion needed for truly great
performance? Does a sense of control keep things balanced to allow for optimum performance? Can there be a combination of both?
I really don’t know.
I would be very interested to hear you the reader’s opinion. If you have a favorite story about a bowler that flames out I would like to hear what happened after the flame
out. Send me your thoughts, e-mail your responses to thenwbowlingreview@gmail.com.

JUST MY OPINION
BY
KATHY TRIBBEY
The PBA recently announced that they are ending the ex-
empt tour and opening up the fields in the upcoming 2012-
2013 season. Finally! I always felt bad for the guys who
were long time touring professionals who found themselves
jobless when the PBA went to the exempt fields in 2004. And
then there were the up and comers, guys who couldn’t quite
make it through the tour trials. The PBA hasn’t “felt right” to
me for several years.
I hope the PBA gives up the gimmicks and goes back to the
way it used to be. At one point in my life I was a die-hard fan,
I hardly missed watching the weekly TV shows. But once the
fields were limited, I lost interest watching the TV shows oth-
er than the majors. The majors make me interested because
I might get to see the “less featured” and equally as talented
players make a telecast. And they are bowling on something
other than the 5 animal patterns. If I had a say in it I would
change some things.
I would extend qualifying to more than one day and add
more games. With the PBA putting on some exclusive events
that are only being broadcasted on the internet, they should
put out cameras on all of the pairs and allow the viewers to
choose which pairs they want to watch, not just the featured
pairs. With the fields being opened up in the near future, I
would expect that more bowlers would join and pay the
$7.99 a month to watch their local heroes, friends or family
live in action. I would also have it archived to be replayed.
The Sunday TV shows then could have footage showing the
key points on how the bowlers progressed during the week
to get to that point. I would also change a majority of the
formats back to round robin.
I would also get rid of the 5 animal patterns concept. It is old
already. We already can predict who is most likely to be on
which shows, as an example, Eugene McCune dominates the
Cheetah pattern. Why repeat the pattern within the same
season when there are so many to choose from? I also
wouldn’t post the pattern until practice session.
I wish there was a “tour”, as in touring the country, not
camping in one city to cut TV production costs. The best
bowlers in the country should be on display regionally and
more importantly, to promote bowling. I remember when
the PBA would come to Hollywood Bowl back in the day. I
made the time during the week to bowl the pro-am and
watch as much qualifying and match play as I could. It was
interesting to watch how local professionals like Doug Wal-
lace and Freddie McClerkin sized up against the national pro-
fessionals when they were in match play.
And finally, something needs to be done about the prize
funds. The money on top needs to be worthy of declaring
yourself a professional for and the money on the bottom has
to be at least double what your weekly expenses are. With
the down economy I know it is tough to get sponsors, but
someone needs to step up to repair it soon because bowling
needs it desperately.
Mike Kasper shoots first sanctioned 300
game at Big Al’s in Beaverton; Valley
Lanes Update
With the tragic fire that occurred at Valley
Lanes on New Year’s Eve of this year, the Bud
Light Classic scratch league was forced to find a
new temporary home for the remainder of the
season. Big Al’s Beaverton were willing to help
some “scratch leagues refugees” and Mike
Kasper wasted no time showing that this league
can throw some strikes. In the first game after moving to Big Al’s, Mike Kasper blast-
ed a perfect 300 game and became the first bowler to shoot a sanctioned 300 game
in that center. Congrats Mike!!!!
Terry Pierce would like to thank Sunset Lanes, Beaverton Big Al’s and Tigard Bowl for
graciously helping to floor their leagues after the New Year’s Eve fire. Terry is planning
on re-opening in time for the start of 2012-2013 league season. Financial damages
are still to be determined and cleanup efforts will be starting at the beginning
of February.

Kathy Tribbey wins her record 4th OSUSBC Queens Tournament
The 2012 OSUSBC Queens Championship Tournament took place this past weekend and it was great to see a packed house competing for this
annual prestigious title. 35 of the best women bowlers from around the state made the trip out to Linn Lanes in Lebanon to take on the challenge
of competing with the best on the Kegel "middle of the road" oil pattern.
Over the 6 games of qualifying this "challenge" pattern proved to be just that as only 5 women managed to be in the plus while it took a (-24)
to make the 8 player double elimination match play finals and a (-52) to cash. The qualifying squad was led by Loree Burkholder of Aurora with
a "lights out" score of 1301 which led the closest pursuer, Kathy Tribbey from Cornelius by 53 pins.
The alternate and last cash spot actually went to an extra game roll off to break the tie between Lori Hanken of Oregon City and Samantha
Kessler from Beaverton with Samantha coming out on top in the first match of the day.
During the match play portion Samantha How proved the one to beat while going undefeated and waiting to see who would not only survive
the loser's bracket but then have to beat her twice to claim the championship.
Kathy Tribbey, who's been sitting on the sidelines for quite awhile now while recovering from finger surgery got cleared just in time to return
for the Queens tournament and as expected she was up to the challenge. After losing in round 3 of the winner’s bracket to Samantha, Kathy
came back strong, focused, and determined to win this Queens Championship. Kathy met Loree in round #5 with the winner moving in the
championship round and with Kathy easily winning that match, it was on to the championship round once again for her.
In the 1st of 2 possible championship matches Kathy won the first match handily over Samantha so it was on to the 7th and final round in the battle for the championship and on to another
pair of lanes. After winning the 1st game of the final match 217-188, Kathy seemed to have things well in hand but there was absolutely no quit in Samantha who continued a nice run of closing
strikes after getting the first one in the 10th. Knowing that with a strike in the 11th frame she would force Kathy to step up and throw the 1st one in the 10th to win, Samantha threw it
well but couldn't get the 7 pin to go down so Kathy stepped up needing to fill 18 for the win. Kathy calmly through a quality first shot leaving only the 7 pin, picked it up and flushed the last
shot for the win. That was great pressure bowling by both opponents with the entire day coming down to the 10 frame of the last game for the title.
Congratulations, Kathy on a very successful comeback and in winning a hard fought 4th OSUSBC Queens title. Congrat's to Samantha for bowling so well, hanging tough to the end, and nearly
pulling out the victory.
Kathy has earned the right to represent Oregon at the National Queens Championships in April and while she isn't sure if she will be available to compete, she did receive a crystal glass vase
and $585 for her win. For anyone interested in representing our state at the nationals, entries can be found on bowl.com and if purchased before February 1st can be had for only
$395. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks to Linn Lanes Proprietor Gary Heintzman for hosting our tournament and to everyone who made the commitment to come out and compete. It was great to be able to put on and be
part of this great tournament and I'm already looking forward to next years. I also want to thank those who took the time to fill out our survey and share your thoughts while giving our tournament
committee a few things to consider when planning for future Queens Championship Tournaments.

February, 2012—The NW Bowling Review - 5

Vernon Victorious in Vancouver
Sunday, January 15, a starting field of 49 bowlers, the largest of the season, competed in the Northwest
Senior Tour’s sixth event at Dave Husted’s Hazel Dell Lanes in Vancouver, Washington. The
states of Oregon and Washington were well-represented, making this the most geographically diverse
tournament this year.
Brush Prairie’s Tony Ferguson opened qualifying with the only 300 game of the tournament. Shooting
795 for his first three games, Tony held off a late charge by Vancouver’s Gerry Tate to lead qualifying
with a 1458 total--a 243 average. Tate’s 241 average and 1451 total earned the second seed.
Breaking the 1400 barrier to round out the top five qualifiers were Washington bowlers Mitch Vernon
and Larry Lindberg and Philomath, Oregon’s, Bill McNelly.
Entering game six, the final game of the qualifying round, 24 bowlers were within 50 pins of the cut
line--above and below. Making the biggest move from also-ran to qualifier was Johnny More, shooting
a 279 to move from 18th to a strong 6th place position with a 1395 total. A final game 278 also
allowed Steve Kiss to jump from 28th to 15th with a 1366 pinfall.
Clutch final games were also rolled by Tim Myers and Tim Pierce. Myers’ 268 moved him 11 places
to a 9th place tie with Jim Winklepleck at 1379. Pierce’s 267 earned him a final pinfall of 1378, propelling
him ten spots to 11th place.
Mike Yoder’s 1365 total, a 227 average, earned him the 16th and final position for the finals. For the
first time this season the usually dominant left-handed contingent of N.W.S.T. veterans were shut out
of the finals with Mike Ewing’s 1335, a 222 average, leading the lefties in 20th place.
In the opening game of the finals, qualifying leader Tony Ferguson opened strong against the 16th seed Rich Charboneau Mitch Vernon Tim Pierce
Mike Yoder. With both competitors matching strikes from the fourth through ninth frames, Yoder’s first two strikes in the tenth frame forced Ferguson to mark. A late falling 7-pin off a pocket hit prevented
a disastrous 7-10 leave, but Ferguson’s spare attempt narrowly missed, skidding by the 10-pin on the left, handing the game to Yoder, 247-246.
Gerry Tate finished off his match against Steve Kiss with a string of five strikes, earning a 246-186 victory. Jumping into the qualifying lead was Olympia’s Mitch Vernon, opening with the first six
strikes. His 268 was the highest game of the first round of match play, enough to defeat Dain Wilmarth’s 211.
Making the most sizable move up the leader board was Jim Winklepleck, defeating Albany’s Len Mawson, 266-182. The Portlander moved from 10th to 4th place and put him in contention for his second
N.W.S.T. title in as many months. Other first round matches saw Lacey, Washington’s, Frank DeRemer strike out in the tenth frame to narrowly defeat fellow Washingtonian Larry Lindberg, 257-
255.
Rich Charbonneau’s defeat of Bill McNelly, 260-216, moved him into a solid 5th place position. Tim Pierce’s tenth frame open resulted in a 234-234 tie with fellow Oregonian Johnny More. Completing
the first round of match play, Tim Myers upended Puyallup’s John Makay, 200-193.
In round two, Mitch Vernon continued to mow down opponents, opening with the first six strikes and closing with a five-bagger for a 279-203 victory over Gerry Tate. Tony Ferguson recovered from his
first game disappointment to defeat Jim Winklepleck, 223-183, to hold on to 3rd place.
Rich Charbonneau jumped into 2nd place, striking on nine of his first ten balls for a 267-182 defeat of Larry Lindberg. Hazel Dell Lanes’ own Mike Yoder made the most impressive move of round two,
reeling off eight consecutive strikes to start his match in route to a 277-223 win over Tim Pierce. Johnny More’s 245-195 victory over Frank DeRemer moved him into the top six entering round three.
With Vernon holding a sizable 88 pin lead over Rich Charbonneau, their match would prove dramatic and consequential. Vernon went right to work, registering strikes in his first six fames. Not to be
outdone, the Veneta, Oregon, veteran went two strikes better, stringing together the first eight before leaving and converting the 3-6-10 in frame nine. Now needing the first two strikes in the tenth frame
to shut out Vernon, Charbonneau ripped the rack with his first shot, but was stymied by a flat 10-pin on his closeout shot, still posting an outstanding score of 267.
With the door now open to steal the match back from his opponent, Vernon needed to fill 29 in the tenth frame to secure a one pin victory. After two decisive strikes, Vernon leaked his final shot wide,
enough that it did not recover, leaving the 2-8 and resulting in a 267-267 tie.
Mike Yoder continued his steady climb into contention, moving into 3rd place with a 235-194 defeat of qualifying leader Tony Ferguson. While a majority of the bowlers struggled to string strikes together,
Tim Pierce’s impressive 290-238 win over Frank DeRemer vaulted him from 10th to 4th entering the final round of match play.
Jim Winklepleck refused to fade away, throwing the first eight shots for strikes in his contest with longtime doubles partner, Tim Myers, to earn a 278-210 victory and moving him up to 5th place in the
standings. Johnny More’s 205-189 win over Gerry Tate kept him in a solid 6th place position.
With an outstanding 814 series under his belt for the first three games of the finals, Mitch Vernon held onto his lead over Rich Charbonneau entering the final game of the tournament. Charbonneau’s
equally impressive 794 series only earned him a rematch with Vernon, while the rest of the closest contenders remained 100-plus pins behind.
Momentum remained in Vernon’s favor as he opened the final match with a four-bagger while Charbonneau, like the vast majority of the remaining finalists, struggled to put even doubles on his
scoresheet. As a result, Vernon breezed to a 231-202 triumph to earn his very first N.W.S.T. title. Along the way he posted a 3-0-1 match play record and overpowered the field with his 10-game average
of 248.
Rich Charbonneau held on to 2nd place by a single pin over Tim Pierce--the Portland right-hander finishing strong with a 247-204 defeat of Mike Yoder. Both Charbonneau and Pierce averaged an
impressive 237 for their games bowled.
Jumping into 5th place, just behind Yoder, was N.W.S.T. all-star, Tim Myers, on the basis of his 258-194 defeat of Frank DeRemer. Rounding out the top six was Clackamas’ Johnny More, edging Jim
Winklepleck, 201-192.
A well-deserved thank you to proprietor Dave Husted and manager Toni Fantini and their entire staff for their hard work and hospitality. A continued tip-of-the-hat to Hammer Bowling for their generous
donation of the new Hammer Taboo Pearl bowling balls for our tournament raffles.
Our next event is our prestigious Northwest Senior Masters, scheduled for February 4-5 at Triangle Bowl in Longview, Washington. Eight games of qualifying begin at 1:00 p.m. Saturday with the top
16 returning on Sunday at 9:00 a.m. for the double-elimination, two game match play format. Entry fee is $130 for all bowlers.

Craig Tuholski conquers the gold pins to win Triangle Skins Game
Triangle Bowl hosted an OBA 9 pin no tap pro-am on Saturday January 7, 2012. 12 OBA
Pros volunteered their afternoons to come make this another fun event. The house
hosted a 5 person skins game for $550 immediately following the pro-am on the Brunswick
Gold Pins (remember those?). A drawing was held for the 2 amateur spots, another
drawing for a professional spot and the top 2 professional scores from the pro-am
automatically advanced. Sean Daniels (806) and Brian Schmit (868) were the only pros
that had scores above 800 and advanced. The amateur drawing winners were Ray Hepler
and Lowell Lovgren. The lucky pro drawing winner was Craig Tuholski. The skins
game pot carried over through the 10 frames. Everyone had to strike to stay alive, the
first person eliminated was Hepler. Helpler was last year’s winner for $550. Sean Daniels
and Lovgren were eliminated next. It came down to Tuholski and Schmit. Tuholski
outlasted Schmit, as it lasted 7 rounds to take this year’s skins title and the $550 prize.
Congratulations Craig!
“Truffle Shuffle” wins January King of the Hill

Kegel. Scores were at a medium pace all night long unless your name was Dan
"Truffle Shuffle" Jackson. Dan dominated the last game easily cruising to the
victory with a 267 game good for $170. Dan averaged 236 for the evening.
First round top score was Kevin Grimes shooting a 502 for 2
games. Low score to make the first round cut was Jennifer Riedy and Aaron
Wesley with a 394 total. Round 2 saw a cut score of 203 to make it into the
money round. That bowler was Trent Zabelle. Top score in round 2 was Beau
Little with a 247. Final money round was a close battle for 2nd and 3rd. Beau
slipped by Trent Zabelle in the 10th frame with a 203 game good for $130 for
2nd. Join us for the February edition on the 3rd for more exciting KOTH action!
