Pro Shop owner 

continues to “Work Hard 

for Your Success” 

By Emil Williams Jr. 

Staff Writer 

In any business setting, involving 

customer 

interaction is 

essential for the 

customer to feel 

welcome, wanted 

and received. It 

is the basis of a 

great business, 

and a connection 

that can last a 

lifetime. It is this 

connection that 

pro shop owner, 

Hieu Du, prides 

himself on. 

Du is the 

owner of three 

pro shops 

in the DFW 

area, all carrying 

the same name, “Your 

Neighborhood Pro Shop”. The 

original “Your Neighborhood 

Pro Shop” is located inside 

Rowlett Bowl-a-Rama located 

in Rowlett, Texas, followed by 

“Your Neighborhood Pro Shop 

2” inside University Lanes 

in Denton, Texas and “Your 

Neighborhood Pro Shop of 

Plano” found inside of Plano 

Team Corwin won the Big D 

Mixed Team tournament held 

Jan. 15-16 at Cityview Lanes. 

ITA’s tournament director 

Charlie Natal puts on the 

tournament which is held at 

different centers around the 

Hieu Du 

Super Bowl in Plano, Texas. 

For Du, everything regarding 

the “Your Neighborhood 

Pro Shop” trio 

starts and 

ends with the 

customer. 

“Our first goal 

is to make sure 

the customer is 

always happy,” 

said Du, who was 

born in Vietnam 

and lived there 

until the age of 

five before moving 

to the United 

States. “In every 

shop, we have a 

nice television, 

table and chair 

for our customers 

to sit and feel 

comfortable. We also want to 

see our bowlers improve. To be 

a proper business person, you 

have to have a philosophy and 

a mission for your company. 

Our motto is ‘Working Hard 

for Your Success’ and that’s 

something we want to see 

happen.”

Brents, Branagan and Maldonado 

win 3rd Annual Vicki Rios 

Memorial Trio Tournament. 

By Tyson Branagan 

Staff Writer 

On January 15th, 2011, 

bowlers from all over the 

south and southwest gathered 

at Tangi Lanes in Hammond, 

Louisiana for some good 

competition, fun, and most 

importantly, an annual tribute 

to the late Vicki Rios. The 

tournament, hosted yearly 

by Lee Tyrney in his 24-lane 

center and operated by Joey 

Amadeo, fills each year with 

a waiting list to get in for the 

opportunity to not only bowl 

for some money, but for the 

opportunity to win in honor of 

Vicki. 

Once again this year, the 

tournament quickly filled at 

24 teams, but this year was 

different than the previous 

two, as Vicki’s family made 

the trip together for the first 

time to attend the tournament 

in remembering their beloved 

daughter and sister, and take in 

some great bowling. 

“It was an honor to get to 

meet Vicki’s family,” tournament 

director Joey Amadeo 

said. “I am so pleased they 

were able to make the trip.” 

The day got started with the 

Calcutta, in which $415 was 

raised for the scholarship fund in 

Rios’ name, and then the action 

got started soon after, with each 

team bowling 6 games of match 

play qualifying, with 20 bonus 

pins for each individual win, and

40 bonus pins for a team victory. 

After 6 games, the field was cut 

to the top six teams, with the 

top two qualifiers receiving a 

1-round bye in the finals. 

The team of Elizabeth 

Brents, Tyson Branagan and 

Shawn Maldonado, all of Texas 

got out to an early lead behind 

a 300 by Branagan out of the 

gate en route to an 871 start 

with bonus pins. It was an 

early indication of how high 

the scores would be as three 

teams cracked the 800 mark in 

game one. By the end of the 

6 games of qualifying, some 

of the highest scores in the 

tournaments short history were 

posted, with Brents, Branagan 

and Maldonado leading the 

way at plus 1224. The team of 

Leslie Engeron, Kenny Winstead 

and Brian Bodenhemier 

earned the other bye in the 

finals by posting a score of 

plus 997, seven pins clear of 

3rd qualifier Kristin Warzinski, 

Xeno Garcia and Eric Traylor. 

Rounding out the qualifiers 

were the inaugural winning 

team of April Ellis, Scott 

Monteleone and Shaun Thonn 

in 4th, Karyn Weschler, Byron 

Lau and Nicky McClantoc in 

5th, and Brandy Silva, Nathan 

Vanputten and Mark Busscher 

earning the 6th and final cash 

spot. Brents led the entire field 

individually with a 1463 6game 

total, an average 243.83, 

proving that the women do, in 

FOUNDED AND PUBLISHED BY JOE GENNARO FROM 1956-2009 

fact, fuel this great event. 

In the finals, Silva, Vanputten 

and Busscher defeated 

Warzinski, Garcia and Traylor 

to advance while Ellis, Monteleone 

and Thonn knocked off 

Weschler, Lau and McClantoc. 

In the semifinals, Brents, 

Branagan and Maldonado 

defeated Silva, Vanputten and 

Busscher in a close struggle of 

a match on a tough pair, relatively 

speaking, to earn their 

second straight finals appearance 

after a 2nd place finish a 

year ago. In the other semifinal 

match, Ellis, Monteleone 

and Thonn defeated Engeron, 

Winstead and Bodenheimer to 

give them the opportunity to 

bowl for their second title. 

In the title match, just like 

each year before, the match 

contained all the excitement 

anyone could ask for, and once 

again, came down to the 10th 

frame and the final bowler 

needing to strike to secure 

the victory. In a match full of 

strikes, Maldonado got up for 

his 10th frame after needing to 

strike his first ball of the 10th 

to secure the win, and much 

like the previous nine frames, 

threw another perfect strike, 

and would throw two more just 

like it to finish off a perfect 

300, and earn their team $2700 

for the win, plus Calcutta 

winnings. 

“They dominated the field, 

and finished it off by getting 

the win,” said Amadeo, “and 

in true Vicki fashion, it was 

dramatic.” 

“Shawn shot 300 in the final 

to help his team to a 794 scratch 

score, just enough to beat the 

760 put up by their opponents,” 

he added. “It was great to watch 

and be a part of.” 

“It felt great to win,” said 

Brents. “We came so close 

last year and we work so well 

together, it was great to finish 

it off this time.” 

“I didn’t know Vicki that 

well, but everyone down there 

is so friendly and fun to be 

around that it just shows the 

type of person she was to have 

all these friends come together 

in memory of her,” she added. 

Ellis, Monetleone and 

Thonn earned $1800 plus 

Calcutta for second. 3rd and 

4th places earned $1050 plus 

Calcutta each, while 5th and 

6th took home $690 each to 

round out the day. 

A tournament is the brain 

child of Rios along with 

Amadeo and Leisha Murr. It’s 

a fantastic event in honor of a 

great person and bowler, and a 

friend to all that she met. As 

usual, it was a great success, 

but more than that, it was a 

great time by all in attendance, 

with some great and entertaining 

bowling to go along.

Our 54th Year 

Danny Graf 

This week’s high man is 

Danny Graf with a 200-258-268 

for an 826 series in the Denim 

& Duds league at Brunswick 

Zone Watauga. This was 

Danny’s first 800 series and he 

said it was indescribable to finally 

shoot an 800, a real sense 

of relief and accomplishment. 

Where were you born? I 

was born in Dallas, we moved 

around a little bit when I was 

younger, but we ended back up 

in the DFW area. 

What ball did you throw? 

I used a Mission which had 

been a great ball for me, but 

I haven’t been using it much 

lately. I had James Askins 

“Rejuvenate” the ball, and it 

worked. Shows me not to give 

up on a good ball to soon. 

Thoughts on the big series? 

I had been bowling good in 

this league but didn’t expect to 

bowl that well. I had a bunch 

of my friends that there were 

rooting me on so that was 

great. They had changed the 

shot up at Watauga a little and 

I was playing a part of the lane 

that I don’t normally play. 

How long do you plan to 

keep bowling? I bowl two 

leagues now, and alternate in 

another. I am just a league 

bowler and I plan to bowl as 

long as my body will allow me. 

What is your all-time favorite 

movie? I would have to say 

Slapshot, it’s an older movie, 

and I’m a big hockey fan. 

What is your favorite 

restaurant? Anything Italian, 

my favorite Italian restaurant is 

Carrabba’s. 

Where did you take your 

best vacation? My 21st birthday 

to Las Vegas, it was the last 

time that our family went 

somewhere together, my sister 

and my parents, it was a great 

experience. 

What is your favorite piece of 

technology? It is a tie between 

the Xbox and my cell phone, 

which is such a big part of my 

life. 

If you were the commissioner 

of all things bowling for a day 

what would you change? You 

can see that everyone is trying 

to get more youth in the game 

which is great. I think they 

need to cater to the league 

bowlers more and continue to 

get more kids involved more 

and make it more competitive. 

Favorite hobby besides bowling? 

Playing hockey, I played 

until I was 21, and now I only 

get to play once or twice a year 

now. I liked how difficult it 

is, the tempo and there are so 

many things going on with the 

game that most people don’t 

even realize.

PBA Names Press Room in Honor of 

Hall of Famer Chuck Pezzano 

SEATTLE, WA – Since the 

formation of the Professional 

Bowlers Association in 1958, 

no one has contributed more 

to the organization in so many 

different ways than PBA Hall of 

Famer Chuck Pezzano. 

In recognition of the 

81-year-old Clifton, N.J., 

native’s contributions to 

the PBA, his name will be 

permanently attached to the 

organization beginning with 

the introduction of the Chuck 

Pezzano PBA Press Room 

during the PBA Tournament of 

Champions at Red Rock Lanes 

in Las Vegas. 

The Chuck Pezzano PBA 

Press Room also will welcome 

the news media at all future 

Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour 

events and it will have a 

permanent home on pba.com 

for all news media visitors who 

visit the PBA’s official website. 

“It think it’s a pretty nice 

honor,” Pezzano said. “It came 

as a complete surprise.” 

Pezzano first became 

involved with the PBA as a topflight 

competitor and charter 

member; he was the first 

collegiate bowler in the United 

States to bowl an 800 series. 

But his legacy off the lanes far 

surpassed his credentials as a 

player as he evolved into the 

most prolific bowling writer in 

history. 

His weekly bowling column 

has been published in The 

Record in Hackensack, N.J., 

every week for more than 50 

years. He has written stories 

for every leading bowling 

publication in the country. He 

has written books, worked as a 

consultant on television, movie 

and instructional videos, and 

traveled the country serving as 

an emcee and guest speaker at 

hundreds of bowling functions. 

And to this day, his nationally- 

syndicated columns appear in 

bowling publications across 

America. 

Pezzano also was heavily 

involved in PBA business 

affairs, running the PBA East 

Region for 20 years. He was 

secretary of the PBA Hall of 

Fame for nearly 20 years, and 

served as the organization’s 

official historian for longer 

than that. 

Pezzano and fellow New 

Jersey entrepreneur Frank 

Esposito – who together created 

the PBA Regional program 

– were the first Meritorious 

Service inductees in the 

inaugural PBA Hall of Fame 

class in 1975. He was elected 

to the American Bowling 

Congress Hall of Fame in 

1982, and was recipient of the 

Bowling Writers Association of 

America’s Luby Hall of Fame 

Award in 1974. That’s just a 

small sampling of the awards 

he has won. 

“I don’t think anyone has 

poured more of his heart and 

soul into the PBA than Chuck 

Pezzano has over a span of 

more than 50 years,” said PBA 

CEO and Commissioner Fred 

Schreyer. “Chuck Pezzano 

deserves to have his name 

attached to the PBA Press 

Room not only in recognition 

of all he has done for the PBA, 

but as an inspiration for all 

future bowling journalists.” 

“Unveiling the press 

room for the Tournament 

of Champions honors all of 

the writers of the past who 

appreciated the greatness 

of what I always called the 

Firestone,” Pezzano said. “(The 

Paul Grody’s stellar 226-278-

Founded in 1939 by African 

Americans, TNBA’s mission is 

a commitment to the principles 

of sportsmanship, fellowship 

and friendship within its ranks 

and throughout the world of 

bowling. TNBA membership 

and tournaments are open to 

everyone. 

“We know this has created a 

buzz within the TNBA bowling 

community and will bring out 

the best classic bowlers, not 

only TNBA members, but other 

USBC bowlers as well,” said 

TNBA President Dr. Michael 

Boykins. “This is a win-win 

for both organizations. It 

really shows USBC’s support 

of its affinity groups and 

sets up a template for future 

opportunities. It also gives 

TNBA a platform to continue 

to grow its membership as 

bowlers come out for this 

tournament, and hopefully, 

future events, too.” 

The 2011 TNBA Singles 

Classic will be contested 

in suburban Cleveland on

ARLINGTON - Tournament 

season is right around the 

corner, and it’s not too late 

to be part of the action at the 

2011 United States Bowling 

Congress Women’s and Open 

Championships. 

The entry deadline for the 

USBC Women’s Championships 

has been extended to 

March 1, while USBC Open

now will have until March 4 to 

submit their entries. 

The 2011 Open

4. Bowlers from all 50 states 

and several foreign countries 

will converge on the one-of-akind, 

78-lane National Bowling 

Stadium in Reno, Nev., before 

the tournament concludes on 

July 3. 

More than 12,000 five-player

of room available for bowlers 

interested in trying to earn a 

share of the $5 million prize 

fund. 

This year, the Women’s

New York state for the first 

time since 1996 and settle into 

Syracuse’s Oncenter Complex,

The Women’s 

Championships received 

a successful makeover in 

2010 and now features three 

average- based divisions that 

use a 100-percent handicap 

format. Between the new 

look of the venue and the 

new format, the Women’s 

Championships is a can’t-miss 

opportunity for women of all 

ages and skill levels. 

“We take great pride in 

our championship events, 

and we don’t want anyone to 

miss out on the opportunity to 

compete on bowling’s biggest 

stages,” said Brian Lewis, 

USBC Managing Director of 

Tournaments. “Entries for 

both the Open and Women’s 

Championships have been 

steady as the original deadlines 

approached, so we want to 

give undecided bowlers and 

captains a little more time to 

get their teams together and 

join us.” 

For bowlers looking for 

extra opportunities to cash in 

on the championship lanes, 

there’s always a variety of side 

events and jackpots available 

on-site, including traditional 

brackets, strike jackpots and

Zimmerman’s best season came 

in 1965, when she captured the 

all events title at the Women’s 

International Bowling Congress 

(now USBC) Championships 

and led her team to a secondplace 

finish at the tournament. 

She also won the Bowling 

Proprietors’ Association of

She earned one professional 

title, the PWBA Oxnard Open 

in 1964, and took second in 

three other events. She was 

inducted into the PWBA Hall of 

Fame in 1996. 

She began her bowling 

career in her hometown of 

Akron, Ohio. In 1952, at age 19, 

she became the 27th woman in 

bowling history to roll a perfect 

game. It was the only 300 game 

the WIBC recorded during the 

1952-53 season. 

One of her more interesting 

moments in bowling occurred 

at the 1959 BPAA All-Star 

Tournament in Buffalo, N.Y. 

A severe snowstorm left her 

without transportation, so 

Zimmerman and Buzz Fazio 

decided to run to the center. 

She described how they 

ran through the snow and 

managed to arrive at the center 

moments before the squad went 

to the floor.

YES Fund welcomes 

five new partners 

ARLINGTON – The Youth 

Education Services (YES) Fund 

expanded its partner base 

as five recognized bowling 

industry organizations stepped 

forward to join the program 

dedicated to youth bowling. 

Kegel, Luby Publishing, 

International Bowling Pro Shop 

and Instructors Association 

(IBPSIA), Billiard and Bowling 

Institute of America (BBIA) and 

Bowlers Journal International 

are now official YES Fund 

partners after making 

significant contributions. 

“I am extremely grateful 

to see these leaders in 

the bowling industry step 

forward in support of our 

future,” Bowling Proprietors’ 

Association of America (BPAA) 

116-315, Charlie Buxton 209-581, Ellen 

Birrell 213-535, Jeffrey Sy 211- 569, 

Rachel Wise 221-534, Thomas Ingram 

196-543, Brittany McClure 149-674, 

Nick Marietta 175-453, Sara Smith

people in bowling–” 

P.O. Box 1642, Colleyville, TX 76034 

Phone 817-267-8686 

Fax 817-267-1813 

Director of Youth, Chad 

Murphy said. “The YES Fund 

continues to be a way to unite 

all of bowling for the common 

goal of promoting youth 

involvement in the sport.” 

When the YES Fund was 

created last year, an initial 

project was the development 

of a new mainstream sports 

model for bowlers 12 years 

old and younger. Preliminary 

pilot programs have received 

positive feedback and 

additional markets soon will 

have the opportunity to take 

part in the program. 

The YES Fund also has 

focused on providing assistance 

to high school bowling. In 

November, The YES Fund 

- High School Grant Program 

launched and will provide 

$2,500 to four high school 

programs annually. 

“All of the YES Fund 

projects are designed to keep 

young people engaged in 

bowling,” Murphy said. “The 

outstanding commitment 

from our partners makes this 

possible and we hope more 

companies and individuals 

will join the YES Fund on this 

journey.” 

The YES Fund is a joint 

initiative of BPAA and 

the United States Bowling 

Congress. The YES Fund also 

is supported by its founding 

partners Brunswick, Columbia 

300, Ebonite, 900 Global, 

Hammer, QubicaAMF, Roto 

Grip, Storm and Track.

CHRIS BARNES 


Michael Haugen Jr. of Carefree, 

Ariz., in Saturday night’s 

elimination round, 243-172, to 

reach Sunday’s finals where 

he eliminated Finland’s Osku 

Palermaa, 246-176, and Sean 

Rash of Montgomery, Ill., 

237-161, for the chance to meet 

O’Neill for the title. 

In the title match, Barnes 

started with six strikes to 

build a 31-pin lead after seven 

frames, but O’Neill refused to 

back down, finishing with a 

string of four strikes to force 

Barnes to mark in the 10th 

frame. Barnes’ strike on his 

first shot in the clinched the 

title. 

“I feel bad for Bill,” Barnes 

said. “He was the best bowler 

in the PBA World Series to get 

here, but I’ve been in his shoes 

a few times and I’m not going 

to give the trophy back. 

“There are a lot of guys 

who have won the PBA World 

Championship, but it’s a short 

and distinguished list of guys 

who have won the Triple 

Crown,” he added. “Right 

after I won, Billy Hardwick 

called my wife and told her to 

welcome me to the club.” 

“I’m not unhappy with my 

performance,” O’Neill said. 

“I threw all but one shot on 

line. When I needed shots to 

make Chris show up in 10th, 

they were all good. That’s 

something I’ve struggled with 

out here. I think it’s a good 

sign of things to come.” 

The Lumber Liquidators

to Red Rock Lanes in northwest 

Las Vegas later Sunday for the 

opening qualifying round for 

the Champions Field in the $1 

million PBA Tournament of

SPOTLIGHT 


The SASBA Singles Tournament 

is here March 19th & 20th 

ments I’ve made. 

Thoughts on the big series? I 

had lost some weight recently 

and had been bowling really 

bad. Now I am figuring out 

what I need to do differently 

with my swing. I also went 

back to Otis Pillow to have him 

change the pitch in my thumb 

holes and started using the 

switch grips in the thumb hole, 

and that has made all of the 

difference. It all came together 

on this night. 

How long do you plan to 

keep bowling? As long as my 

body will let me bowl. I see the 

little old ladies bowling and I 

want to be one of them. 

What is your all-time 

favorite movie? Bad Boys, I can 

watch that over and over again. 

But I can also watch Avatar all 

day every day…I can always

find something I missed. 

What is your favorite 

restaurant? III Forks, I always 

order the filet. 

Where did you take your 

best vacation? It would have to 

be the Hawaiian cruise for my 

50th birthday. I liked that we 

visited a different island every 

day. Maui was the best. 

What is your favorite piece of 

technology? It would have to be 

the iPhone, everything is there. 

I can do it all from my phone; 

everybody needs one. 

If you were the commissioner 

of all things bowling 

for a day what would you 

change? I would like to change 

the rewards and recognition 

program. The majority of bowlers 

are not the high average 

competitive bowler and most 

awards are for those bowlers.

Do You Remember?

PRO SHOP OWNER 


high school and attended 

several bowling center sleepover 

events. After college, he 

started bowling leagues with 

his sister and more league 

bowling would soon follow. 

It was at this point where he 

realized he needed a bowling 

ball with a custom fit instead 

of the normal house ball. His 

first ball was drilled by Bruce 

Gordon and Bea Martinez. 

“My first ball that was 

custom drilled for me was 

an AMF XS,” said Du, who 

is an engineer by trade and 

has also worked part-time as 

a stock investor. “I realized 

the big difference in the feel 

from bowling with a house 

ball. I also noticed how both 

Bruce and Bea treated me as a 

customer and a bowler and that 

has stuck with me.” 

It goes without saying that 

Du is always looking for a 

better way to serve his customers. 

He continues to experiment 

with various chemical 

combinations for finger and 

thumb slug moldings. He also 

has considered the possible use 

of clay as a molding tool for 

thumbs for the most accurate 

and precise feel. 

“I’m not doing my job, if I’m 

not trying to always improve,” 

Du said. “I even have a budget 

for research and development.” 

Du not only incorporates his 

motto in his pro shops, but he 

also displays it as a coach. Du 

is the voluntary head bowling 

coach at Plano East High 

School, but was only supposed 

to serve as an assistant coach 

when he joined the team in 

2006. Upon his arrival, Du noticed 

several bowlers who were 

in the program just to “hang 

out”. As a result, Du added a 

defined structure and the kids 

began to improve over time. 

After four weeks as an assistant 

coach, Du took over as 

head coach at Christmas break 

and went on to coach the boys 

team to its first state title and 

the first team title of any kind 

in Plano East High School history. 

Since then, he has led the 

Plano East bowling program 

girl’s team to a state runner-up 

finish in 2009 and another 

boy’s state title in 2010. 

“I welcome all bowlers 

and skill levels into my program,” 

said Du, who also has 

mentored students in robotics 

and math. “I teach the kids 

to believe in themselves and I 

want to show them a different

viewpoint, it provided 

everything you needed, and 

that’s why it has been the best 

event in history from the start. 

“I appreciated it because 

it gave me an opportunity 

to meet and get to know the 

greatest players in the country, 

along with a lot of news media 

guys who weren’t necessarily 

assigned to bowling,” Pezzano 

continued. “The TOC put

way to succeed. I think every 

kid will amount to something 

special with good character 

and work ethic.” 

And Du has done just that. 

He has seen several bowlers 

exit his program that have left 

a lasting impression on him. 

“I remember a young lady 

in 2006 that began her freshman 

year with an average of 

150, but was just a naturally 

gifted athlete,” Du said. “She 

bowlers on the same plane 

with other athletes. In the early 

years, first prize was $25,000 

and some of the greatest 

players in baseball only made 

$40,000.” 

“Every writer who covered 

the Tournament of Champions 

had to look for something 

beyond what happened on the 

lanes. It could be whether or 

not the old veteran would last 

until the end, a story about the 

new kid on the block, the Mike

worked hard and eventually

runner-up during her senior 

year losing 279 to 277 in the 

championship match. She now 

bowls for Stephen F. Austin. 

Watching them earn full 

scholarships to college is awesome, 

but watching them grow 

to be better people and better 

bowlers is even better.”

Hard for Your Success.”

TOC winner) who were always 

underrated, or the so-called 

discovery of a Dick Ritger, who 

really was one of the greatest 

bowlers of all time, but never 

got the credit until people saw 

him bowl in the Tournament of 

Champions.” 

“I would never have thought 

about an honor like this,” he 

added, “but it ranks right up 

there with any honor I’ve ever 

won.”

For the last ten years, 

January has meant one thing; 

the season opener of American 

Idol. 

It’s a little different this year 

than other year’s as this is the 

first season without Simon 

Cowell, and I just wasn’t sure 

what to expect. 

This year, Aerosmith’s lead 

singer, or more importantly Liv 

Tyler’s dad, Steven Tyler and 

Jennifer Lopez have joined the 

judges panel alongside Randy 

Jackson. 

In the first couple of episodes 

it became apparent that 

Randy is leading the way and 

seems to deliver most of the 

insults and bad news. 

Jennifer is more like Paula 

Abdul as she seems to have a 

really hard time saying no or 

crushing dreams. Steven Tyler 

is growing on me, but currently 

he seems like a one trick 

pony. Everything he has to say 

seems to include him screaming 

some ridiculous high note 

like he was singing a song. 

In past years it appeared 

that there weren’t very many 

sixteen-year-olds, but this year 

it seems like the best talent are 

the young ones. 

It also doesn’t seem like 

they are showing a ton of 

the bad singers and are more 

focused on the good ones. 

Although I like to see the 

good ones I find that most 

people that I talk to like to see 

the train-wrecks more than the 

real talent. 

I’m really curious to see 

what the first ratings without 

Simon will be. 

Recently I’ve started to see 

an ugly trend with television. 

My wife Nikki directed me 

to some of the reality shows 

on MTV and some of them are 

really disturbing. 

More of a disturbing trend 

are the ages of the viewers of 

these shows. As a parent of 

a 12 year old girl I’m always 

telling her not to watch these 

sleazy shows, however, amazingly 

her TV always seems to 

just happen to be MTV while 

Jersey Shore is on when I go in 

her room. 

I’ve never actually watched 

an episode of Jersey Shore, but 

last night my wife was watching 

it and it was extremely 

disturbing to see what this 

show is about. 

First the glorification of 

going to jail was the first thing 

that stood out. Apparently 

Snookie got drunk on a beach 

and was resisting arrest. 

When they asked her about 

the incident it almost appeared 

as if she was proud that she got 

arrested. 

I really hope the youth of 

today doesn’t think that getting 

arrested is the norm and that 

it’s no big deal. The truth is 

that these “celebrities” have 

no real future and so it doesn’t 

matter what’s on their permanent 

record. 

After knowing how the 

inside of the hiring practice 

goes I know the difficulty of 

finding a job with an arrest on 

your record. 

Another scary thing is how 

they make a big deal out of 

who is having “relations” with 

who. 

Educators are throwing their 

hands up in the air after spending 

years and years preaching 

about abstinence and safety 

just to have these fools glorify 

sleeping around. 

Typically I recommend 

watching shows, but not this 

one. I would encourage you to 

stop watching these shows so 

they’ll take them off the air. 

Plus I’m tired of seeing 

people with zero talent and 

zero skills make millions of 

dollars. 

The Tournament of Champions 

is the premier tournament 

on the PBA Tour and after 

seeing the format for this thing 

you can definitely bet that the 

best bowler is going to win the 

tournament. 

It features one of the most 

grueling formats I think I’ve 

ever seen. 

To start at the lowest level, 

a person who has a simple 

regional title would have to 

bowl 14 qualifying games just 

to get into the elite field. 

Then they would have to 20 

more qualifying games to make 

the top 53. 

You can't win the Stanley Cup, but you can be a Champion 

80 th Annual Dallas USBC Bowling 

Association Championship Tournament 

Dates - March 5 th , 6 th & 12 th , 13 th 

Then once you make the top 

53 you have to bowl 14 more 

games just to make the top 24. 

THEN you have to bowl 24 

games of round robin match 

play to make the TV show. 

That’s 72 games on a very 

challenging condition against 

the best of the best. 

I know just how hard that is 

to do physically, but the mental 

part, the ups and downs; it 

would be exhausting as well. 

Kudos to whoever comes out 

on top in this one!
