Waxahachie 

is Sharion’s 

kind of town 

By Jim Woodruff 

Sharion Harwell wasn’t even 

looking for a job when she approached 

Don Gano, manager 

at Don Carter East, years ago. 

Her kids were bowling as 

juniors then and she knew all 

was not going well. 

“I asked him when he was 

going to get the junior program 

straightened out,” Sharion said. 

Without further discussion, 

Gano said, “You are hired.” 

And so she was and she 

has been in the business since 

1983. She has been solving 

problems at centers throughout 

the years. She has spent time at 

The Bowling Proprietors’ 

Association of America (BPAA), 

the bowling industry’s premier 

trade association, announced 

that it has inked a 

global partnership 

agreement with the 

Australian Bowling 

Proprietors’ Association 

(ABPA). 

The first-of-its-kind 

agreement, unprecedented 

in its scope and scale, brings 

together two of the largest entities 

in the bowling industry, 

immediately offering unrivaled 

business-building services to 

ABPA member centers. 

“The ABPA has done tre- 

The Dallas men will not 

have a city tournament this 

year, but they will be very 

busy hosting the Texas USBC 

Open Championship. 

It will be held on weekends 

from April 10 to June 20, 

except for May 1-2 when the 

state USBC officials meet. 

The team event will be at 

USA and singles and doubles at 

Plano Super Bowl. 

There will be five scratch 

divisions. Entries will close 

Sharion Harwell 

DC East, Showplace Euless and 

Showplace Garland. She was in 

Garland almost 16 years. 

Two years ago she was 

named manager at Hilltop 

Super Bowl in Waxahachie. 

The job is right down her alley.

Global partnership 

Australian BPA will join BPAA 

mendous work to advance the 

bowling industry throughout 

Australia and we’re extremely 

proud to welcome each of its 

member centers to the BPAA 

family,” said Steven Johnson, 

executive director of the BPAA. 

“This unprecedented agreement 

signifies both the surging

Th e Bowling News 

By JIM WOODRUFF 

It was indeed a sad day for 

bowling recently when Big 

Town closed its doors. 

It seems that Big Town held 

a special spot in many bowlers’ 

hearts. When you look back at 

all the centers’ closures over 

the years, you get the feeling 

we are getting down to a precious 

few. 

Here’s hoping we won’t have 

more of this in the future. 

Anyway, here is a little 

question and answer game you 

can play to see how much you 

know about some of the centers 

that have disappeared over the 

years: 

Question: Where was Town 

North located? 

Answer: In Richardson 

near Spring Valley and North 

Central. 

Question: What center had a 

barber shop: 

Answer: Cotton Bowling 

Palace, located at the intersection 

of Lemmon and Inwood. 

Question: An easy one. 

Where was Preston Forest 

located? 

Answer: At the intersection 

of Preston and Forest, on the 

southwest corner. 

Question: What two centers 

on Garland Road were destroyed 

by fire and water? 

Answer: Jack and Jill 

burned and water from Duck 

Creek wiped out Garland Bowl. 

Question: Where was Hart 

Bowl located? 

Answer: Across Northwest 

Highway from Bachman Lake. 

The popular center was 

owned by Larry Hart who later 

gave it away in a drawing. 

Question: What happened to 

Circle Bowl, located down the 

street from Hart Bowl? 

Answer: It is now a Mexican 

dance hall. 

Question: Where was 

Expressway Lanes located? 

Answer: On Central, 

a couple of blocks from 

Mockingbird. 

Question? Where was 

Superior? 

Answer: Also on Central, 

just south of Fitzhugh. 

Question: What was so 

unique about El Capitan and 

where was it located? 

Answer: It was on Henderson, 

just off Ross. It was 

a converted theater with 

eight lanes upstairs and eight 

downstairs. 

Question? Where was 

Lakewood? 

Answer: In the Lakewood 

Shopping Center near Gaston 

and Abrams. 

Where was Fiesta and 

Blazer? 

Answer: Blazer was on

Joe Lopez 

This week’s high man is Joe 

Lopez with a 277-300-247 for 

a 824 series at Rowlett Bowla-Rama. 

Joe has two children, 

14-year-old Leah, and 10-yearold 

Justice. He bowls in two 

leagues at Rowlett on Sunday 

and Monday nights with his 

wife Kerry. He is also a Service 

Advisor at the Ford Dealership 

in Greenville. 

What is your high series? 879 

almost 10 years ago at AMF 

Showplace Garland. I left a four 

pin in the 10th frame of the 

third game. I didn’t get nervous 

until I noticed that no one else 

was bowling in the center, they 

were all behind me. 

How many 300’s have you 

bowled? 17 or 18, not exactly 

sure. 

What ball did you throw? 

Ebonite Game Breaker. I throw 

that and the Hot Sauce mostly. 

Dino set me up good with 

those two balls. 

Who drills your balls? Dino 

Castillo and Tyson Branagan at 

The Bowling Shop. I have been 

going to them for a long time. 

What is your all-time favorite 

bowling ball? I have been pretty 

happy with the Ebonite equipment. 

I don’t know if I really 

have a favorite. 

What is your average in the 

Sunday Mixers league? A 225. 

What is your all-time high 

average? 229, at Don Carter 

West (now USA Bowl). 

How long have you been 

bowling? I started when I was 

12, then quit for a while and 

have been bowling for 11 years 

since. 

What part of the lane were 

you playing when you shot this 

series? I was playing outside, 

pretty straight. I don’t hook it 

as much as I used to and seems 

to be working for me. I have a 

much more consistent reaction 

playing outside at Rowlett. 

Who is your favorite pro 

bowler? I would have to say 

Wes Malott. I have spoken with 

him at some regional’s and 

he gave me some pretty good 

advice. He throws it really 

well. 

Most memorable bowling 

moment? It would have to be 

the 879. I have never had a 

whole bowling center focus 

on me before. It was a special 

feeling. I can’t say that I was 

disappointed to have left that 4 

pin, but it does sting a little bit 

that you get so close to a 900 

and cant finish it. 

How much do you practice? I 

really don’t. I guess I have the 

Wes Malott theory, I actually 

bowl worse the more I practice. 

Do you have anyone who 

coach’s you? My dad has always 

helped me. Danny Kelch and 

Dino Castillo, they have all 

THE BOWLING NEWS | Thursday, January 21, 2010 | Page 3 

helped me a little bit. Larry 

Reynolds helped me too. 

Joe’s tip of the week: The 

best advice I can give is to 

listen to those that have been 

there before. Don’t give up and 

keep working hard. Don’t let 

the game frustrate you just 

keep bowling. It took me a

A friend remembered 

By Joey Amadeo 

On Jan. 19, 2008 the first 

annual Leadoff Lady Trio 

tournament was held at Tangi 

Lanes in Hammond, LA. 

The idea for the tournament 

was introduced to me by two 

lady bowlers who had recently 

visited the area. 

Vicki Rios and Leisha Murr 

came down to bowl in the Two 

to Tangi mixed doubles tournament 

and instantly created a 

bond with many of the bowlers 

form the Hammond area. 

They asked me to help come 

up with an idea for a tournament 

that would help bring 

together all of the bowlers and 

give the ladies a chance to 

showcase their talent. 

The Leadoff Lady Trio was 

2010 Champions, Chris Johnson, left, Heather Jones and Jay 

Ashbaugh. 

created and the tournament 

filled almost instantly after it 

was announced. It was only 

fitting that one of the ladies 

the trio tournament in Vicki’s 

honor. It became the Vicki Rios 

Memorial Leadoff Lady Trio 

Tournament.

leaguemate, collected high-game 

honors with a award-winning

Almost two months later, 

on March 12, Vicki lost a much 

bigger match and all of us lost 

a great friend. Vicki and Alan 

Hunter were killed in an automobile 

accident and bowlers 

all over the South have been 

bowling with heavy hearts ever 

since that tragic morning. 

Without hesitation, I knew 

that we needed something 

to keep the memory of Vicki 

alive and decided to dedicate

Each year in January there 

will be a mixed scratch trio 

tournament at Tangi Lanes in 

Hammond, LA. Bowlers gather 

from all across the South to 

participate in this tournament. 

So far we have had 11 states 

represented. 

The event starts with a 

bowler’s auction, where 10 

percent of the total goes toward 

a scholarship for junior bowlers 

in Vicki’s name. After the 

auction, the bowlers compete 

in six games of qualifying 

with bonus points awarded for 

match play wins. The top six 

teams advance to the finals, 

with the top two seeds receiving 

a one round bye. 

The championship match 

in the first tournament came 

down to the 10th frame with 

April Ellis, Scott Monteleone 

and Shaun Thonn coming out 

as the winners. 

This years’ event didn’t 

fail to exceed the expectations 

when the championship match 

again came down to the final 

bowlers in the 10th frame. 

Chris Johnson struck with 

his first ball in the 10th frame 

to ensure victory for his team, 

consisting of Heather Jones and 

Jay Ashbaugh. Coming up just 

short and finishing second was 

the team of Elizabeth Brents, 

Tyson Branagan and Shawn 

Maldanado. 

This tournament is full of 

great bowling, but it’s bigger 

than bowling. It’s about great 

bowlers and great friends coming 

together to share in a loved 

one’s memory. 

April Ellis wrote, “To all of 

the other bowlers, thank you 

so much for just being the great

Memories of Rick 

By Mike Lynch 

Bowling in the Southwest 

lost a friend and a tough 

competitor last week when 

Rick Talley was found dead 

Jan. 14, at his home in Enid, 

OK. The loss to me was much 

more personal. 

Ricky and I met through 

bowling when he and I bowled 

with what I feel is one of 

the toughest teams I’ve ever 

bowled on, consisting of 

Ronnie Diamond, Ken Urban, 

Dee Munsell, Rick and myself. 

I can’t begin to tell you how 

much fun that was and Ricky 

was always keeping us loose. 

“Side bets” were just the 

norm in those days and Ronnie 

was in charge of that. One 

night I came in to Showplace 

Euless and asked Ricky who we 

were betting this week. Ricky’s 

response was “everybody”. 

Ronnie, our Senior Minister of 

side bets had arranged a roundrobin 

doubles bet with every 

team in the league. 

Panicked, I asked Rick how 

much money he had on him. 

Together we scraped together 

$75.28. When I asked him 

what do we do now? Rick’s 

response” “Pump the bet”. We 

did and we won. His famous 

light pocket hit where the 

seven and five are the last to 

fall was the main reason. 

Everyone who knew Rick 

will have similar stories. Ask 

Dee Munsell about Rick joining 

him at a craps table in Vegas 

wearing his boxer shorts and

a t-shirt. Cocktail waitresses 

are still in therapy over that 

one. But what I liked about 

Ricky was his big heart. He felt 

things. When his friends hurt, 

he hurt. 

When I lost my 16-year-old 

son, Travis, Ricky didn’t find 

out about it in time to make it 

to the funeral. Ricky called me 

and through the tears all he 

could say was, “I can’t make 

it there in time Mike, please 

forgive me.” He felt he was 

letting me down. I assured him

Stefanie Mueller and youth 

bowler Alex Sumruld tied for the

as each posted a 630 series. 

Mueller had games of 223-194-

his call was more than enough. 

That was Rick. 

Like all of us, Rick sometimes 

didn’t live up to the 

standards he set for himself. 

That troubled him at times. For 

awhile he was quite lost. But 

in the past few years he found 

himself again when he found 

his way back to God and his 

church. Rick was prepared for 

this. Rick was ready for this. 

I’ll miss my buddy “The 

Tub”. But someday, in some 

tournament I’m bowling in, 

either I or someone bowling 

next to me will carry a light 

pocket hit where the five and 

seven are the last to fall and I’ll 

think of Rick. And I’ll smile.

Scroggins wins Pepsi Red, 

White and Blue Open for 

seventh career PBA title 

WICHITA, KS — Mike 

Scroggins of Amarillo, flirted 

with a perfect finish, but 

settled for an easy victory in 

winning his seventh career 

Professional Bowlers Association 

Tour title in the Pepsi Red, 

White and Blue Open presented 

by the United States Bowling 

Congress at Northrock Lanes. 

Scroggins ruined 42-yearold 

rookie Wayne Garber’s 

bid for his first PBA Tour 

title, 278-229, to conclude the 

highest scoring tournament in 

PBA history. The finals aired 

Sunday on ESPN. 

Scroggins, who struggled 

in two preliminary matches 

leading up to the title contest, 

started the championship 

match with nine strikes before 

leaving a 7 pin on his first shot 

in the 10th frame. He made the 

spare and left another 7 pin 

on his fill ball, but the match 

may have been decided before 

it even started because the 

inexperienced Garber made a 

decision that played right into 

Scroggins’ hands. 

Garber, making his first 

television appearance, earned 

his berth in the title match by 

upsetting PBA Hall of Famer

Steve Williams 217-584, Trixie 

Ocala, FL, 10-8, in a one-ball, 

sudden-death roll-off after they 

had tied at 237-237 and threw 

matching strikes in the first 

roll-off frame. As the highest 

ranking survivor in the ESPN 

finals, Garber then had the 

right to select which pair of 

lanes would be used for the 

championship match. 

Normally, one pair of lanes 

is used for all TV matches, but 

because of the unusual sixplayer 

format used in the Red, 

White and Blue Open finals, 

two pairs of lanes were in use. 

Garber decided to remain on 

the right pair of lanes where 

he had just defeated Williams, 

rather than move to the left 

pair of lanes where Scroggins 

had left a steady stream of 7 

pins in edging Mike Fagan of 

Patchogue, NY, 218-197, and 

then fellow left-hander Patrick 

Allen of Wesley Chapel, FL, 

227-215, in his preliminary 

matches. 

“My biggest mistake was 

choosing that pair of lanes,” 

Garber said later. “I threw four 

practice balls on the left pair 

and had no look at all, but if I 

could do it over, I’d pick that 

pair.”

U.S. Open champion, said a 

silent “yeah” to himself when 

Garber announced his choice. 

No left-handers had bowled on 

the right pair other than a few 

practice balls, so Scroggins had 

fresh conditions which meant 

better odds his ball would 

finish hard and carry strikes. 

“I was glad to get off the 

pair I was on,” Scroggins said. 

“The back ends got so tight, 

we had no carry at all. Then 

we got a little practice on the 

right pair and I never missed 

the pocket, so I felt pretty good. 

And I got some lucky strikes 

along the way.” 

Despite his runner-up 

finish, Garber had the tournament 

of his life. “I’ve bowled 

for local titles, but this was 

a lot different,” he confessed. 

“I’m ecstatic. If there are nine 

clouds, I’m on cloud 15.” 

In the other first-round 

match, Williams eliminated 

Michael Machuga of Erie, PA, 

257-244, in his PBA-record 

171st television appearance. 

The Pepsi Red, White and 

Blue Open presented by the 

USBC was conducted on three 

different lane conditioning 

patterns the USBC plans to 

introduce on an optional basis 

to American league bowlers in 

cooperation with the Bowling 

Proprietors’ Association of 

America for the 2010-11 winter 

league season. 

Similar in concept to golf’s 

tee system, the USBC Red condition 

was the most forgiving 

pattern, the White condition 

was a medium challenge and 

the Blue pattern – which was 

used for the ESPN finals – was 

the most challenging. 

The finalists received: 

Scroggins, $25,000; Garber, 

$13,000; Williams Jr., and 

Allen, $8,000 each; Machuga 

and Fagan, $5,500 each.

PIN POINTS 

TO PONDER 

By CHUCK PEZZANO 

Many a parent worries 

when a youngster becomes too 

interested in sport, any sport. 

They feel that at times a 

sport can have a distracting 

influence on youthful participants 

when he or she should 

be concentrating more on the 

basics of education. 

If the sport is bowling, 

there’s little need for concern. 

Bowling enthusiasts must 

learn scoring and the math 

necessary. The numbers always 

need close attention and when 

a youngster becomes involved 

with averages, high games, 

high series, point systems 

and the many other statistics 

connected with bowling, they 

learn to figure quickly and 

accurately, just to keep things 

honest. They also are exposed 

to various computer systems. 

They want to be able to 

decipher entry blanks, rule 

books, to understand them, to 

read accounts of leagues and 

tournaments and the exploits of 

their bowling heroes in newspapers, 

bowling publications 

and magazines. Whether they 

know it or not, they read more, 

become better readers and 

more acquainted with words. 

They learn how to win, 

to lose, to organize, and how 

important team efforts are and 

how it is just as important to 

foster individual goals and they 

learn about pressure without 

undue pressure on them. 

Boys and girls interested 

in bowling can’t bowl all they 

want because most allowances 

won’t stretch that far. Many 

become a little more eager to 

do some extra chores around 

the house to earn some extra 

money to bowl some extra 

games. Some take on a parttime 

job and some pick up 

pin money by keeping score 

or helping at various bowling 

tournaments. They learn more 

of the value of money when 

they want that new ball or bag 

or shoes. 

Youngsters interested in 

bowling can’t help but have 

their competitive juices and 

spirit aroused. And if they’re 

not good bowlers they can 

become involved with the organizational 

structure, creating 

and conducting and publicizing 

events. In all ways the sport 

offers a social outlet and an 

education, because bowling is 

a mirror of life’s success and 

failure, and youngsters can 

relate much of what they do in 

bowling to other experiences. 

Few young bowlers get 

into trouble, a tribute to the 

juniors who bowl, the people 

who teach and guide them and 

the bowling centers in which 

they bowl. Ask any judge. 

Most bowling centers welcome 

juniors with open arms, but 

don’t baby them, and insist 

upon proper dress and actions. 

Young people learn about rules, 

respect for other people’s property 

and also about discipline. 

But even more should and 

could be done to attract and 

keep more young bowlers. 

One of the great beauties 

of bowling for youngsters is 

that it will always be there. 

Some bowl the rest of their 

lives. Many go through gaps, 

absences from bowling because 

of schooling, jobs, marriage 

or family obligations. But 

most come back at one time or 

another, the fun and lessons 

they learned in bowling taken 

out of storage. 

Books and bowling do get 

together. Math, history, finance, 

competition, satisfaction 

and an atmosphere answering 

a social need with a physical 

outlet are combined. 

Mothers and fathers always 

will worry. Those fears are cut 

to a minimum when boys and 

girls from tots to teens discover 

bowling as an outlet. 

And you never have to look 

very far to find a bowling 

center. 

FLEMING 


Carter and Chris Lucas who 

beat Blain Weninger and Richie 

Rylant, 404-390. Carter and 

Lucas then faced the eventual 

champs and lost a one-sided 

affair 484-367. 

Fleming and Johnson then 

beat Rick Lawrence and Casey 

Powell, 450-351, to reach the 

championship match. 

“Harper commented to us 

that he did not move in fast 

enough in the final match and 

that was key,” Fleming added. 

The tournament condition 

was a variation of the new 

“Blue” USBC oil pattern, and 

by the end of the tournament 

all of the players were playing 

inside the sixth arrow. 

Johnson had this to say, 

“The last pair hooked 10 

boards more than the other 

pairs we bowled on. I hate to 

say it but once we got going, I 

knew we would be very tough 

to beat. With the way Flem 

bowled all day I knew we were 

good.” 

CJ has always been one of 

the strongest players around 

from that deep inside line, so 

the finals conditions certainly 

played into his hands and allowed 

him to “make the Tahoe” 

payment as he said, with the 

$2,700 the winners split for 

first place. 

Harper and Maldonado 

received $1,200 each. 

The other event at AMF 

Showplace Euless on Saturday, 

was the QueenPin Doubles won 

WAXAHACHIE IS 


If anyone can kill you with 

kindness, it is Sharion. She 

stresses customer service. And 

always with a smile. 

She knows a great percentage 

of her bowlers by their first 

names. 

“Bowlers don’t want to feel 

like they are just numbers,” 

said Harwell. “They want to be 

treated like they are special, 

which they are. 

“The people in Waxahachie 

are just great. They are more 

laid back than bowlers in the 

city.” 

Harwell likes to bowl 

leagues in her house, so she 

can keep abreast of things. But 

she has been battling injuries. 

A broken arm made her 

attempt to bowl left-handed. 

She averaged about 145. In 

her heydays, she carried a 197 

average. 

“That’s when I called myself 

a bowler,” she said. 

She has bowled most of her 

life. 

Her whole family, husband 

Mack, daughter Sabrina and 

son Bubba bowl. 

Bubba is the star. Sharion 

said he has had some 63 

sanctioned 300s. 

The Harwells still reside 

near Mesquite. She travels 31 

miles to work each way. She 

says it is worth it. 

Waxahachie is her town. 

“I could not be happier,” she 

said. 

by Heather Jones and Anita 

Manns. 

In the first stepladder 

match, Jones and Manns 

defeated April Ellis and Olivia 

Sandham, 472-463. 

They then moved on to bowl 

Marcia Kloempken and Tenelle 

Milligan in the championship 

match and won big, 492-399. 

Surprisingly this was the 

first time that Jones and Manns 

have bowled doubles together 

considering they are very good 

friends, or “bestie’s” as Manns 

put it. 

“We communicate very 

well when we are bowling, we 

share information, and we even 

threw the same balls at the 

same time today. We started 

with the Virtual Energy, 

changed to the Tantrum and 

whacked them,” Jones added. 

Heather averaged 272 in 

the finals and the champs 

won $700 for the title. while 

Kloempken and Milligan 

claimed $350 and Ellis and 

Sandham received $200. 

“I knew that Heather had 

a great look so I just needed 

to keep it close and we would 

do well, we make a great team 

and will continue to bowl 

together,” Manns said. 

The KingPin tournament 

had 35 entries and the Queen- 

Pin had 11 entries. 

Tournament director, Paul 

Henderson had this to say, “We 

would like to thank everyone

Michigan State coach 

named USBC Youth 

Volunteer of the Year 

Karl Nickolai, who has led 

the Michigan State University 

bowling program for the last 

25 years, has been selected 

to receive the USBC Youth 

Volunteer of the Year Award by 

the USBC Youth Committee. 

The prestigious award is 

annually presented to an adult 

volunteer who has displayed 

outstanding efforts to foster, 

organize and promote certified 

youth bowling programs at 

the local, state and/or national 

level for the last seven or more 

years. 

In addition to his work at 

Michigan State, Nickolai has 

helped to promote collegiate 

bowling through his Web site, 

CollegeBowling.com. He also 

currently serves as president of 

the National Collegiate Bowling 

Coaches Association (NCBCA), 

a position he has held for 

nearly 15 years. He has been 

with the organization since 

1985. 

“I have always enjoyed my 

work with the MSU Intercollegiate 

Bowling Program, the 

NCBCA and the CollegeBowling.com 

Web site,” Nickolai 

said. “I am very honored to 

have been nominated and 

selected for the USBC Youth 

Volunteer Award.” 

Nickolai makes a 70-mile 

commute from his hometown 

of Waterford, MI, to the university 

in East Lansing to coach 

the Michigan State bowling 

team. He conducts tryouts in 

addition to taking the team to 

tournaments. 

He launched CollegeBowling.com 

in 1997, when there 

were a limited number of Web 

sites for bowling teams but not 

a site dedicated to the coverage 

of collegiate bowling. CollegeBowling.com 

has allowed fans 

to follow their favorite teams 

and sport. 

In 1998, Nickolai developed 

the Online Team Power 

Ranking (OTPR), an objective 

point system for ranking all 

schools with college bowling 

teams based on regular-season 

Dallas Central District

tournament performance. He 

credits Joe Ciccone, a former 

Arizona State University and 

Erie Community College bowler 

who is a current PBA member, 

with helping to develop a system 

that provides a meaningful 

team ranking throughout the 

season. 

He also devised the concept 

of a college bowling “average 

differential” to measure 

athlete performance against an 

event field rather than by just 

tracking traditional bowling 

averages. The average differential 

allows athletes to be 

fairly compared across different 

events with different lane 

conditions. 

In 1998-1999, he was 

selected for the Gordon Teigen 

Meritorious Service Award, 

presented annually by the 

NCBCA to an individual in recognition 

of outstanding service 

to collegiate bowling, for his 

work on CollegeBowling.com. 

In 2000-2001, he was the first 

recipient of the NCBCA Men’s 

Coach of the Year, now known 

as the NCBCA Kerm Helmer 

Men’s Coach of the Year award. 

“Karl’s time spent coaching 

and successes, along with his 

countless hours and resources 

volunteered in non-coaching 

situations, make him an excellent 

candidate,” wrote Steve 

Lawson in his recommendation 

of Nickolai. 

On the lanes, Nickolai had 

an 877 series (299-300-278) 

in January 1997, which at the 

time was the Greater Detroit 

Bowling Association city record 

and remains fourth on the 

all-time Detroit list. He also 

rolled an 827 series in 1996, 

which included consecutive 

300 games (227-300-300). 

Nickolai will be presented 

the USBC Youth Volunteer of 

the Year Award during the 

USBC Convention, April 28-May 

1 in Reno, NV. To learn more

year’s USBC Convention, visit

How Many Calories Does 

My Body Need? 

Each and every one of us 

has an amount of calories it 

takes to run the body at rest. 

This is called the RMR or 

Resting Metabolic Rate (this is 

also known as Basal Metabolic 

Rate). One way to estimate 

how many calories it takes is 

to determine the lean muscle 

on an individuals body. We 

typically use skin fold tests to 

estimate the amount of body 

fat a person has and how much 

lean tissue a person has. 

Let’s say that a person 

weighs in at 200 pounds and 

he has 12 percent bodyfat 

determined by skin folds you 

take 200 x 12 percent = 176. 

So this person has 176 pounds 

of lean tissue and 24 pounds 

of fat tissue. The lean tissue is 

metabolically active and the 

fat tissue is not. Therefore, 

we can take 176 x 10 = 1760 

and determine that this is the 

estimated amount of calories 

he burns at rest. 

Now the next step is to 

determine the activity and lifestyle 

factor. Then we will take 

the RMR and multiply it by the 

factor which we determine by 

the chart below.

Very Active: Either work a 

physical job and exercise three 

times a week or work a desk

Moderately Active: Desk 

Job and work out three or four 

times a week or a physical job

Non Active: Neither exercises 

nor works a physical job. 

For Extremely Active 

— RMR x 1 + RMR = Total

Now there are other formula’s 

to figure the total caloric 

count needed on a daily basis, 

but the above formula is very 

accurate, and in my 20 years of 

experience comes pretty close 

to right on. 

Once the caloric need for 

the day is calculated you can 

determine if it’s correct by 

eating this many calories for a 

week and you should maintain 

your current body weight. 

Any weight loss would 

mean that a caloric deficit was 

created and one may increase 

calories accordingly. 

Likewise if there is any 

weight gain, then a caloric 

surplus is indicated and the 

calories may need to be 

adjusted downward. 

Typically it is better to give 

it 10 to 14 days to see how the 

body responds because often 

times water weight fluctuations 

occur and this allows for these. 

This is the ideal way to start 

a nutritional regimen because 

you have determined how 

much the body is burning at 

the current time. When you 

determine this you can make 

adjustments as needed. 

It is important to notice that 

the more muscle one has the 

more calories expended. 

This is why it is so important 

to use resistance exercise 

programs to build muscle. 

This does not happen with 

aerobic activity. Some aerobic 

activity is good but one should 

do the least amount needed 

to keep the heart and lungs 

healthy and to burn a few 

calories when needed. 

Remember these tips to 

successful fat loss: 1. Make 

eating the right foods with the 

right amount of calories the 

first priority; 2. Do resistance 

training at pretty high intensity 

levels at least three times a 

week; 3. Do just enough cardio 

to keep the heart healthy and 

to burn some calories.

I must admit that I am a 

little disturbed at the latest 

trend in college football. 

The idea that you can take 

a job that affects thousands of 

people, and simply quit and 

take the exact same job at 

another school is beyond me. 

The group of coaches including 

Bobby Petrino, Les Miles, 

Nick Saban, Rich Rodriquez, 

and now Lane Kiffin, seem to 

think that contracts and commitments 

do not matter. They 

walk into a kid’s home and tell 

his parents how they will take 

care of their child and watch 

over him to make sure they 

get a good education. The next 

thing you know another school 

calls and wants to hire him 

and he takeoff without as much 

as an apology. 

You can also throw in the 

coach that breaks the rules 

and while the school is being 

investigated he gets the heck 

out of dodge. He moves on to 

another big paycheck (yes that 

means you Pete Carroll), and 

the school is left to deal with 

the consequences. 

Since the NCAA doesn’t 

care what the fans of college 

football want, (a playoff 

system) they should be at least 

interested in the stability in 

collegiate programs. 

I think they should insert 

some rules on job hopping in 

the NCAA. The first rule would 

be that you must actually 

fulfill your contract (what an 

idea huh?). 

If you are the one to break 

the contract you are not allowed 

to take another coaching 

job in the NCAA for at least 

three years. 

If you are fired then you 

must sit out at least one year 

before you can take another 

job. 

Now I am not saying you 

cannot improve yourself, as I 

have no problem with promotions. 

If you’re an offensive 

coordinator and you can get a 

head coaching job by all means 

take it. 

But Lane Kiffin makes college 

football and the University 

of Tennessee look like complete 

morons. He signs a contract 

with Tennessee and coaches 

the team for a year. 

Then when Pete Carroll 

quits at USC he decides to quit 

Tennessee and head to USC. 

His commitment to Tennessee 

was actually a lie and yet he 

is rewarded with another fat 

paycheck. 

He loses nothing while the 

kids at Tennessee must start 

all over with a new coach. It’s 

not fair to the kids and I would 

like to see it changed. 

I went back to review Dacestronamous’ 

top five predictions 

for the 2009-2010 NFL football 

season. After reviewing these 

predictions I do not think that 

Dacestronamous will be going 

to Las Vegas anytime soon. 

Although I was correct (just 

barely) with the Detroit Lions 

winning a game and not getting 

the first pick in the draft, 

I missed on every single one of 

the other predictions. 

We never saw Pacman 

Jones. Brett Favre did indeed 

start all 16 games. Michael 

Vick did play, but never 

started, and Tony Romo and 

the Dallas Cowboys were able 

to win a playoff game. 

So I look at it this way, I am 

100 percent right 20 percent of 

the time. 

This week I was asked 

to provide an update on my 

training for the half marathon 

next month. 

To my disappointment (only 

on the outside, inside I am 

jumping for joy) it is not looking 

like it is going to happen. 

I seem to have some major 

foot cramping anytime I get 

close to two miles and then 

I have to stop. I have tried to 

fight through it, but the pain 

lingers for days if I do. 

So I am going to have to 

try yet another pair of new 

running shoes, or try some 

different running styles to 

eliminate the pain. 

So no marathon for me this 

time. I will keep you posted on 

my next adventure. 

This week I am going to 

substitute the section “what’s 

in Daceman’s DVD” for “what’s 

in Daceman’s DVR”. 

I have started watching a 

new show on Spike TV called 

Blue Mountain State. This show 

is like a mix between Varsity 

Blues and American Pie. 

The setting is a prominent 

college football team that has 

some unique characters on 

it that do some crazy college 

things. 

For instance one of the main 

characters on the show is the 

backup quarterback who has 

no desire to be anything other

away, and in October, Jamie 

and Peggy Brooks’ daughter 

Monica was killed in an auto 

accident at age 37. 

“I’m pleased to say we have 

reached an agreement which 

will allow me to slow down 

a little after the events of the 

past year, and we wish Randy 

and everyone involved all the 

best in the future,” said Brooks. 

“I really want to thank all the 

employees and all the bowlers 

for making my job so much fun 

for the past four years.” 

Isenberg, 57, and his family 

are also well known in the 

industry. He and his parents, 

Emory and Peggy Isenberg, 

bought a center in Midland, in 

1976, and the family later built 

two new centers there. His 

uncles, Bernard Goldgar and 

Al Hurwitz, began the family 

bowling connection with a 

16-laner in Corpus Christi in 

1948. 

Isenberg also served as 

the executive director of the 

Southern California Bowling 

Proprietors Association from 

1992 – 2007, and owned a 

32-lane center there before he 

returned to Texas to partner 

with Brooks. 

“We all wish the best for 

Jamie after a very tough year 

for all of us,” said Isenberg. “55 

years is a long time to devote 

to any business. It has been 

good for him and the industry.

NFL Super Bowl(ing) 

for charity 

MIAMI, FL, — For the 

fifth year in a row, more than 

30 NFL legends will hit the 

lanes at the NFL Super Bowl 

Celebrity Bowling Classic, 

presented by NFL Charities 

and Strike Ten Entertainment 

(STE), the marketing arm of 

the bowling industry. Super 

Bowl legend, MVP of Super 

Bowl X and “dual-sport” Hall 

of Famer (both football and 

bowling), Lynn Swann, will 

return for a third straight year 

to serve as event host. This 

year’s event, which is open 

to the public, will be held at 

7p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 4 at 

SpareZ Lanes, located in Davie, 

FL, just minutes from Dolphin 

Stadium, the site of Super Bowl 

XLIV. 

“I’m excited and honored 

to once again host a great 

Super Bowl tradition, the NFL 

Super Bowl Celebrity Bowling 

Classic,” Swann said. “I’m also 

feeling good about my bowling 

team’s chances of winning this 

year’s tournament trophy, the 

third time will be the charm 

in 2010,” said Swann. “What is 

particularly special about this 

event is that players and fans 

of all bowling skill levels get to 

play together, side-by-side, all 

in the name of a great cause.” 

Proceeds from the tournament 

will help fund the NFL’s 

Youth Education Town (YET) 

initiative in South Florida. NFL 

Youth Education Towns (YETs) 

are education and recreation 

centers constructed in Super 

Bowl host cities that serve as 

a lasting legacy of each game. 

With each Super Bowl, the NFL 

donates $1 million towards 

YET development in an underserved 

area of that city. Presently, 

there are 15 YETs in 12 

cities across the United States. 

As its legacy to the cities that 

host Super Bowls, the NFL 

establishes these learning and 

recreational centers. 

Prior to the Celebrity Bowling 

Classic, the NFL greats will 

team with professional bowlers 

to lead a private bowling 

clinic for local South Florida 

elementary school children on 

Wednesday, Feb. 3, from 11 

a.m.–1 p.m., also to be held at 

SpareZ 

Lanes (private clinic will be 

open to the media only). 

“In addition to being an 

exceptionally fun time for our 

participants, this event helps 

to promote a wonderful cause 

and make a real difference, 

positively impacting the lives 

of thousands of local kids in 

the Super Bowl’s host city,” said 

Jim Sturm, president of STE 

and the Bowling Proprietors’ 

Association of America (BPAA). 

“We’re so pleased to again, for 

a fifth straight year, have bowling 

be included as a premier 

event at the Super Bowl. 

The continued success and 

popularity of the NFL Super 

Bowl Celebrity Bowling Classic 

speaks to both the surging 

popularity of our sport and the 

tremendous fundraising power 

of bowling.” 

“Bowling and Lynn Swann 

have been great friends and 

partners to NFL Charities with 

this annual tournament, which 

has become a fixture at the Super 

Bowl and one of our most 

interactive fan and NFL player 

experiences,” said Tournament 

director, Nick Nicolosi. “We 

have an incredible line-up of 

former NFL greats playing in 

this year’s tournament, providing 

a rare opportunity for 

football lovers to get to know 

some of their favorite players 

while playing one of the best 

games in the world.” 

Legendary NFL stars and 

Pro Football Hall of Fame 

members confirmed to participate 

in the Celebrity Bowling 

Classic include (subject to 

change): Hank Bauer, Marlin 

Briscoe, Keith Byars, Richard 

Dent, Parnell Dickinson, 

Marv Fleming, Charles Haley, 

Rodney Hampton, Reggie 

Haynes, Thomas “Hollywood” 

Henderson, Ted Hendricks, 

Lamonte Hunley, Ricky Hunley,

Michael Merriweather, 

Bobby Mitchell, Tom Nowatzke, 

Billy Shaw, Lance Smith, Jan

SPOTLIGHT 


Super Bowl. 

We last heard from Lisa in 

September and I mentioned 

then that it would not be the 

last time she was high for the 

week…and it wasn’t. 

Lisa is the office manager 

for Advanced Integration 

Technologies. They are an 

Aerospace Engineering firm 

and she has been there for 14 

years. She is also a mother to 

four boys, Scott 25, Brian 23, 

Gregg 19, Peter 18, and the wife 

to local striking legend Tam 

Wasson. 

What ball did you throw? 

The Mutant Cell, it is the 

newest ball I have. It was a 

Christmas present from my 

husband Tam. 

What is your all-time 

favorite bowling ball? I have 

liked everything that has come 

out. I don’t know that I have 

a favorite ball, but Ebonite is 

my favorite ball company of all 

time. 

How much do you practice? 

I have been actually been 

practicing more since I have 

been changing my pitches. I 

have been going and practicing 

once or twice a week. Last year 

in the Bluebonnet Queens I 

tore my thumb up really bad. 

So I have been talking to lots 

of people about what I could 

do. Dino Castillo came up 

with the most logical idea, as 

I am getting older I have lost 

flexibility in my thumb so he 

recommended that I quit using 

reverse and start using some 

forward pitch in the thumb. 

So for right now I have gone 

to zero pitch in my thumb 

and I think I am getting much 

closer, I am ready to go bowl a 

tournament. 

Do you have anyone who 

coach’s you? I don’t really have 

a coach, My game is pretty 

unique. Tam knows my game 

better than anyone else in the 

world and he is my number 

one go to guy. If I ask politely 

he will help me. 

How many leagues do you 

bowl? I bowl in three counting 

TCBA Travel League. For the 

last few years we have bowled 

the same leagues. We bowl 

a league in Sherman that is 

great fun for us since it is a 

ways from the house, they have 

wood lanes, so it is a different 

look than the synthetic lanes 

around town. 

How long do you plan to 

keep bowling? As long as it 

still fun. I don’t want to bowl 

when it hurts, so it is important 

to get my thumb under 

control. I would still watch 

and be involved in bowling, 

but it is important for me to be 

competitive. Probably 30 or 40 

more years, ha-ha. I am still 

looking forward to bowling a 

SASBA event soon. 

Where did you take your best 

vacation? I would have to say 

when Tam, I and the four boys 

and we to Florida and Disney 

World. It was so great to see 

the coast, The Keys, and of 

course seeing the boy’s faces at 

Disney World, good memories.

If you were the commissioner 

of all things bowling for a day 

what would you change? I 

think I would want to change 

the perception of what people 

think handicap is. I don’t 

think people understand what 

it is for, what it is, and how 

it should be used. When I 

coached in college, I spent 

a lot of time on that, but I 

don’t think most people get it. 

Handicap is used to even the 

playing field, it should not be 

used to allow the lower average

bowler to win all of the events. 

The lower average players need 

to be improving and working 

to get better but it should be 

about who bowls best that 

decides the winner, not who 

has more handicap. 

Favorite hobby besides 

bowling? Reading. I love to read 

a good mystery novel. My favorite 

author is Iris Johannson. 

What is your prediction of 

the Cowboys-Vikings game? 

31-14 Cowboys of course, and I 

will keep my fingers crossed.
