The Bowling Tip
By Mike Luongo

Bowlers: This week's tip will help you understand correct shoulder alignment when throwing your strike ball and in making spares.
When throwing a bowling ball, the shoulders should not necessarily be straight (perpendicular) in relation to the lane.
Instead, they should be aligned straight to the target mark you are trying to hit. This is called pro setting the angle of the shoulders.
There are three rules regarding shoulder alignment:
1. When playing straight down the boards, your shoulders should be straight in relation to the lane.
2. When making shots to the right of the head pin, open your shoulders in relation to the lane.
3. When making shots to the left of the head pin, close your shoulders in relation to the lane.
Doing this is easy if you imagine that there is a three-foot arrow poised on the right shoulder (or left shoulder if you are left handed).
Simply point the arrow at the target and the angle will automatically be correct.
Note: Your arm swing should never change, instead, adjust the angle of the shoulders so that your arm swing is in line with the target.

USBC Open Tourney At Baton Rouge

With help from Mayor Kip Holden, construction on the venue that will be home to the 2012 United States Bowling Congress Open Championships got underway in Baton Rouge, La., recently.
Holden and Baton Rouge Area Convention and Visitors Bureau President and CEO Paul Arrigo helped snap the official string line and turned over the keys to the Baton Rouge River Center as dignitaries, supporters and media got their final look at the empty convention center before construction crews turn it into a state-of-the-art bowling stadium.
"We are excited to welcome the 2012 USBC Open Championships back to Baton Rouge," Arrigo said. "It is a pleasure to host the largest indoor participatory sporting event in the world. We look forward to the bowlers and their families returning to our city to enjoy our culture, cuisine and hospitality."
Earlier this week, the USBC tournament crew welcomed the first of more than 40 truckloads of materials needed to transform the River Center into the biggest stage in bowling. Construction is scheduled to be complete during the first week of February.
The finished venue will include 48 tournament lanes, four showcase lanes, squad room, locker room, concession area, offices and vendor space that will be bustling with nearly 60,000 bowlers during the tournament's 151-day run from Feb. 11-July 10.
So far, more than 11,300 teams are registered to compete in the 2012 Open Championships, which will be the event's second visit to Louisiana. It first was held there, also in Baton Rouge, in 2005.
"We're excited about being back in Baton Rouge, and we can't wait for the bowlers to see all of the changes to the city and the River Center since we were here in 2005," said Brian Lewis, USBC Managing Director of Tournaments. "We truly enjoyed the southern hospitality the first time around, and the community has rolled out the red carpet for us again this year. It has been nice to see some familiar faces, and it has been even better to see the trucks rolling in."
The entry deadline for the 2012 USBC Open Championships has been extend to March 1, 2012, so interested team captains have time to sign up their teams. There still are some prime times available, but spots are filling quickly.
For more information on the Open Championships, or to register a team for 2012, visit BOWL.com/openchamp or call 800-514-BOWL.

To everyone we wish a Very Blessed Holiday.

The Bowling Tip
By Mike Luongo

This week's tip is for all bowlers, however, youth, new bowlers and bowlers who have not had a correctly fit ball will benefit the most.
Choosing the correct weight for a bowling ball is not rocket science although it is made out to be at times. A poorly fit ball (lane ball or hack job) will take excessive grip pressure to hold onto. This makes the ball seem too heavy.
A good rule to thumb, when getting a custom fit ball, is to go two pounds over what a poorly fit ball weighs. You will be surprised at how much lighter a fit ball will feel. When a ball is fit properly, minimal grip pressure is needed to hold the ball, allowing you to swing the ball without putting a death grip on it. This applies to both finger tip and conventional grips. Understand that gravity, not upper body muscles should control the swing.
For youth bowlers, always err on the heavier side for several reasons. First, it is instinct to grab a ball and throw it.....not roll it. If the ball is too light , it is hard to teach a youth bowler to use gravity as their friend and roll the ball. Second, children are still growing and you may get an extra year out of the ball before the youth bowler outgrows the weight. If a youth bowler is switching from conventional to finger tip grip, in this case I would not recommend going too heavy as you do not want to make it an unpleasant experience. The best recommendation would be to re grip the old ball and get used to the grip before drilling a new ball.
Note: If a bowler, youth or adult, is bowling to enjoy themselves, a conventional grip is best. If a bowler is interested in some form of competitive bowling in the future, the finger grip is the way to go. Remember, there is not substitute for a properly fit ball. Parents of youth bowlers, please have the fit checked every six months.

Here & There Column 12-20-11

Speaking About Economic Discipline

When things are looking bleak and there just isn't concrete answers coming from folks who have the responsibility to correct situations then it's time to look at other solutions.
We spent several hours recently with two members of the tri-state clergy who spoke about the loss of economic discipline and how America today is the largest debtor in the world.
The two prominent members of the clergy said they would speak openly with me but asked that they not be identified because they feared repercussions from possible members of their congregations or from the government.
They openly confessed being somewhat conservative fundamentalist pastors with fairly large congregations.
Some history was brought into our conversation with one pastor pointing out that ancient Rome fell because of massive spending and financial difficulty and lessons of history indicate that the loss of economic discipline can lead to the destruction of a nation.
"America is spending itself into national bankruptcy.....we have gone from being the greatest creditor nation to now being the largest debtor in the world," one pastor concluded.
The two pastors were both very adamant that they fear our country has gotten into the mood of free spending and fiscal irresponsibility.
I asked the bold question, could America fall and go the way of powerful nations and both pastors said this nations shocking financial status does not look good and they boldly from a religious standpoint indicated that God gave America its status, its territory and its resources and wealth to make us a powerful nation and that God has that power to remove these things from us.
Both pastors voiced strong opinion regarding Bible prophecy and said that America was founded on Godly principles but that the United States is sliding toward a national debacle and there are many warnings within the Bible that urge us to live our lives according to Godly principles.
These members of the clergy strongly urged our nation to return to economic discipline or face dire consequences.

Tri-Valley Winter Concert

AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION AT WINTER CONCERT

GRAHAMSVILLE--Tri-Valley Central School 7th & 8th grade Chorus Director Kevin Giroux introduced audience participation along with a little language learning during the Elementary and Secondary Winter Concert December 14 in the Bernstein Theater.
Parents and friends of students in the 5th through 8th grade Winter Concert musical presentations were taught to sing the chorus from an Hawaiian song titled E Na Lima Hana.
An explanation about this song revealed that Hawaiians had no written language prior to western contact except for petroglyph symbols and that the modern Hawaiian alphabet is a variety of the Latin alphabet with Hawaiian words ending only in vowels and that every consonant must be followed by a vowel.
Director Giroux rehearsed with the audience several times the chorus which went like this....E Na Li-ma Ha-Na, E Ma-la-ma Ai-na, Me-ke Ki-no, Me-ka Pu-u-wai which translated means "with our working hands, we care for and nurture the land, the body and the heart."
A great job well done in getting audience participation while still enjoying the musical talents of the 7th and 8th grade chorus.
This chorus also performed Ding Dong Merrily On High, In Dulci Jubilo, The First Noel and We Sing For The Children which brought many in the audience to a standing ovation as this song is sung for the children who have no voice, no choice and is a song of hope, caring and a song of peace for those too hungry, too weak, too poor and took sick to speak.
This song indeed presented a meaning for all who sang or heard its emotional message.
In addition to the 7th and 8th grade chorus the 7th and 8th grade band under the direction of Matthew Weyant performed Swingle Bells, Park Street Celebration and Rock Around the Clock.
The 5th and 6th grade band under the direction of John Calabrese played A Christmas Sleigh Ride, Carol of the Drum and Chorale & March.
The 5th and 6th grade chorus directed by Kevin Giroux sang Dormi, Dormi and A Christmas Gloria.
The school's grades 9-12 Winter Concert will be held Tuesday, December 20 at 7 p.m. in the Bernstein Theater.

Bowling Highlights Column 12-16-11

Two 300's In A Week's Span

Twenty-three-year-old Wurtsboro bowler Donald Durland recorded his 11th and 12th career 300 games December 5th and December 12th in the Monday Men's league at Kiamesha Lanes.
The two perfect games came within a weeks span.
The early weeks of December appears to be a good time of the year for Durland as he also bowled his highest career series on December 1, 2010 when he clipped the maples for a 825 off of single games of 258, 279, 288 in the Wednesday Men's League at Kiamesha Lanes.
His 11th career 300 was bowled on lanes 13-14 while his 12th 300 game was bowled on lanes 3-4. On both nights he used two bowling balls, the Hammer Jig Saw Trap and the Roto Grip Rising Star. The Hammer ball was used for his first two games on December 5 where he also scored a 276 and 232 and the Roto Grip ball helped him roll the two 300 games in the last game of both nights for a 808 series December 5 and a 201, 246, 300, 747 on December 12.
Don's present averages include a 223 in the Monday league, a 230 in the Wednesday Men's league, both at Kiamesha Lanes and a 224 in a Friday Mixed league at Mid City Lanes in Kingston where he bowls every three weeks.
He also bowls in a summer league at Tarsio Lanes in Newburgh.
In the Monday league he bowls on the Monticello Greenhouse team with team members Jaryl Scott, his father Paul Durland and Vinnie Collura.
Durland over the past several years has shown steady league growth and at one point in time competed in Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) regional tournaments. "It just got too costly to compete in these events", he noted this week.
He is easily considered one of the premier men bowlers in the Tri-State area..
Donald recorded his first-ever 300 game during the 2005-2006 season as a youth bowler in the Saturday Morning Youth leagues at Kiamesha Lanes.
His mother, Debbie Durland is one of the premier women bowlers in the Tri-County area and his father Paul and brother James have excellent bowling qualities.
Prior to his 825 series a year ago his previous high series was a 796 off single games of 268, 249 and 279 and was bowled several years ago in the Monday Men's league at Kiamesha Lanes.
He has been bowling since the age of 5.
Donald is single and is employed by the Monticello Greenhouse.

Bowling Tip
By Mike Luongo

Bowlers:One of the previous tips was designed to help you achieve the correct body position to properly execute a bowling shot and be able to repeat it.
This week, we will cover the release, information that will help bowlers of all levels.
A properly executed release is possibly one of the most misunderstood parts of a bowling shot. Most bowlers tend to muscle the ball through the release zone, either accelerating or decelerating on the downswing. The proper release for all bowlers, (whether you are a six-year-old with a conventional grip or an accomplished bowler with many years experience) can be executed by letting gravity bring the ball from the top of the swing through the release zone with no interference from your arm or shoulder muscles.
If the ball fits properly, the gravity will take it off your hand at the right time providing your body is in the proper position. Any rotation on the ball should come from your hand only, not your arm.
Using the proper technique will allow you to get as much rotation on the ball as desired.
Note, however, if your ball does not fit properly, it will require excessive grip pressure to hold on to which will make the release harder to execute.
Aside from bowling, for those of you that have played golf, you can strike the ball much better and with more accuracy if you do not pull the club down from the top of the swing with your shoulder muscles. Gravity can be your best friend or worst enemy depending on how you use it.
Mike Luongo is technically certified through IBPSIA as a Pro Shop Operator and Master Instructor. He is also a Silver Level Coach with the USBC and is also the Northeast Regional Sales Manager with the Storm and Roto Grip Bowling Ball Company.

Vetter's Win Surprised Many

Kathleen "Kitty" Vetter's November 8th win over incumbent District 3 Legislator Democrat Elwin "Woody" Wood came as a big surprise to some so-called veteran political experts but prior to election day there was many making the prediction that this was definitely a sleeper race.
Even on election night political pundits were making predictions on local radio stations that Wood would be the eventual winner.
The race for the District 3 legislators seat went down to the wire and following the count of absentee ballots Vetter edged out Wood by 16 votes.
The newly elected first time in politics legislator is a strong supporter of agriculture and tourism and indicated, "it is my belief that these can work together to bring business to our county."
Legislator elect Vetter told us that "at the present we have a great entertainment center in Bethel Woods and we can expand on the entertainment theme by promoting our outdoor activities while encouraging other forms of tourism entertainment to come to the area."
She listed additional entertainment activities such as workshops teaching pottery, art or music which could result in an expansion of places like the Shandelee Music Festival.
"Since we are only two hours away from New York City promotion of our Agriculture is vital as we have much produce that could be easily transported to that market and so we must coordinate our local farm produce with the city's needs," she said.
Other priorities "Kitty" feels important are the need to improve Broadband and Cell reception throughout the county which she sees as vital to improve the safety and status for all.
"There are many areas that do not have these forms of communication available and the lack of these tools puts our county growth and our citizen population at risk. Broadband as a communication tool is a necessity in the business world and potential buyers or start up business' choose other areas because of the lack of these services," Vetter said.
Decreasing the county's utility costs is vitally important to the newly elected county legislator and she wants to "make sustainable energy costs i.e. 'Greening the county' a reality for government, business owners and individual land and home owners."
Vetter offers a strong belief that her proposals will "help mitigate the cost of living for many and can help to bring in revenue which can overall help to keep taxes down."

Association Tourney At Callicoon Kristal Bowl

Not only has the sport of bowling returned to the Callicoon area and western Sullivan County but the Tri-County New York United States Bowling Congress (USBC) Association Tournament will be held at Callicoon Kristal Bowl in the early part of 2012.
Tournament dates include Saturday March 3 team events at 9 a.m., noon and 3 p.m., Sunday March 4 doubles and singles at 9 a.m., 12:30 and 4 p.m., Saturday March 10 doubles and singles at 9 a.m., 12:30 and 4 p.m. and Sunday March 11 team events at 9 a.m., noon and 3 p.m.
Kristal Whitmore and family purchased the building that once housed Callicoon Lanes earlier this year and opened for business in late July.
Now called Callicoon Kristal Bowl the 10-lane Brunswick Center was completely renovated and refurbished with major improvements during the summer months and the Brunswick B-2 Pin Setters were completely refurbished.
The former Callicoon Lanes was closed several years ago.
Callicoon Kristal Bowl now hosts the Hortonville Ladies league on Monday night and the Delaware Valley Men's league on Tuesday night.
Association tournament players, their families and spectators will also be in able to satisfy any hunger pains as Callicoon Kristal Bowl also features the great cooking of Ms. Whitmore who offers dinner specials like shrimp scampi chicken Marsala, raviolis, fish n chips, jambalaya, pizza, sandwiches, snacks, home made soup, dinner meals and a nice variety menu. Kristal also makes her own fresh made baked goods.
The center also features a full liquor license.
Lane conditioning and the upkeep and maintenance of the lane conditioner will be an important factor in this upcoming tournament competition and those chores will be handled by Kristal's husband Mark Whitmore and Kory Keesler.
The Whitmore family indicated they are looking forward to hosting the local Association Tournament for both men and women bowlers.

The Bowling Tip
By Mike Luongo

Bowlers: This week's column will answer a question many bowlers ask about side weight.....will it make my ball hook?
The answer is absolutely no.
I have been fortunate to be able to spend some time with technical experts, and although we have suspected for quite some time, we now have the proof.
Two factors are needed to make a bowling ball hook....friction and rotation (gravity is also needed but I think that we all understand that or we would all be floating around.
You could take a bowling ball with the strongest weight block on the market, the most aggressive cover, drill it maximum leverage, add all the weight you want, and use a big balance hole, but, if the bowler does not impart proper arotation, or if friction on the ball's path down the lanes is not there.....the ball will go straight.

The Battle To Save "Merry Christmas"

The last time we looked I believe that Christmas is a national holiday but the way things have been going the last several years you never know when someone or some organization will petition our government to remove this date as a national holiday.
We have seen it time and again that some in the commercial market have retailers avoiding any mention of Christmas and even some merchants have banned their employees from using the greeting "Merry Christmas."
There has been proof beyond any doubt that a number of organizations have declared war on any expression of the Christian faith.
Each year communities announce their tree lighting events during the month of December and with terminology they use they are trying to be "politically correct" instead of displaying the real meaning of Christmas for Christians....which of course is the Nativity scene.
We certainly do not have anything against the Christmas tree and lighting ceremonies that include this tree and the lighting of the Menorah which is a major part of the Jewish Hanukkah holidays.
One of the oldest symbols of the Jewish faith is the menorah and this religious symbol is a symbol of the nation of Israel and their mission to be "a light unto the nations," (Isaiah 42.6. But, again why do we not see The Nativity Scene included in our many December ceremonies. The Nativity Scene displaying the birth of Jesus Christ is the true symbol for Christians during the Christmas season.
It is wrong for the community tree lighting ceremonies to censor this Christian symbol as a part of what is called "insensitive to the many people of different faiths."
As you can tell from the short list of common December traditions, we live in a greatly diverse country, so checkered with individuality that anyone can celebrate what they want, where they want and how they want to so let's get on with the untangling of the lights, trimming of the Christmas tree, lighting the kinara, spinning of the dreidel and planning of our New Year Resolutions.
Statistics say that about 96 percent of Americans said in 2005 that they celebrate Christmas while 80 percent described themselves as Christian.......so its more then politically correct to say "Merry Christmas."
Christmas in December is important for this month because the holiday more so than any other drives business and manufacturing for millions of corporations around the world.
For those who do not celebrate Christmas it is important to note that the holidays of Hanukkah and Kwanzaa also play leading roles during the month of December so keeping in mind these precious holidays there is no harm in saying "Happy Holidays" because there is nothing incorrect about the short, good-natured greetings.
We are proud to say "Merry Christmas" and believe its time to repair the damage that has been done by groups and organizations who have tried to take "Christ" out of Christmas.
Have a Merry Christmas, a Happy Hanukkah, a Joyful Kwanzaa and a Safe and Healthy New Year.

Bowlers: This week the tip is for all bowlers to truly assist you on how to best use the dots and arrows on the approach as target aids.
When preparing to execute a bowling shot, whether it is a strike or spare, you must be prepared to understand the path down the lane you intend your bowling ball to take. With this in mind, when stepping on the approach you should have a focal point from which the ball will roll off your hand in the direction you intend it to go, picked out.
If you throw a hook ball, you will be rolling the ball toward the intended break point...the spot on the lane you expect you ball to change direction.
If you are rolling the ball straight , the pocket or the pin/pins will be your intended target.
The tip: Look at your intended target and bring your eyes back so the spot on the lane that you are most comfortable looking at......whether it be the dots or an arrow.
To play the modern game, the sooner the ball comes off your hand the better. If you are looking at an arrow and tend to throw or hit up on the ball instead of rolling it off your hand, bring your eyes more toward the dots.
If you are a bowler that tends to play more across the boards with a lot of traction, your focal point should be as far right (or left) as in between the lanes to get the ball to the correct break point.
If you play a straighter game with a small hook, your correct focal point may be toward the 3 pin.
Remember, there is no substitute for making a good shot. If you combine good shots with good thinking , your scores will increase.
