The Bowling Tip
By Mike Luongo

Bowlers: This week's tip is for any bowler who ends up out of balance at the foul line when delivering a bowling ball.
If you find yourself unable to finish your delivery in a strong , balanced position, it may be a result of your follow through,It is very important that when you follow through on your delivery, you do not reach out with your arm, but up with your follow through. The reason? If you reach out, the weight of the ball will pull your upper body forward and may cause you to lose your balance. However, if you reach up, you can stay planted in a strong , solid position to deliver your bowling ball with accuracy and leverage.

Here & There Column 3-27-12

Concord Project Is For Real

Cross your fingers folks and lets make sure all the i's are dotted and the t's are crossed because this time it sort of looks real that something big will be happening on the 1,500 acres that make up the bulk of the former Concord Resort in Kiamesha Lake.
Entertainment Properties Trust (EPT) and Empire Resorts officials have given strong indications that the resorts rebirth could very well start this fall.
Emanuel "Manny" Pearlman, chair of Empire's board, which oversees Monticello Casino and Raceway has said that the property will also see a large component of non-casino development.
The relocation of Monticello's racino is the focus of the first phase of the $600 million project and ground breaking could take place this November on the 50,000 square-foot casino which plans to hold 2,000 NYS Lottery-run video gaming machines, an underground parking garage and neighboring 5/8-mile harness racetrack.
Of course if New York State voters in three years approve gambling there is strong speculation that a Casino will be a part of the new Concord.
It's been made very clear in the early stages of this proposal that it's not all about gaming but the fact that the developers want this site to become a vacation mecca.
The first phase of development also includes a redesigned Monster Golf Course and the first phase of a hotel would be erected as part of the casino.
Future phases include a family resort, second and third hotel, larger casino (if gambling is legalized), work-force and baby boomer housing, RV park, lake club, water park, spa, restaurants, movie theatre, nightclub, skating rink, event field and a village consisting of town-homes, a civic center and medical services.
True a lot of the future phases will depend on what the market dictates and how the economy improves but one can sense the truthfulness and sincere approach that Entertainment Properties (EPT) and Empire Resorts officials are making.
We have all heard for several years now the pie-in-the-sky pipe dreams about what would be developed on the former Concord property. If we were a betting man our money goes down on
this proposal becoming a reality that will bring much needed employment opportunities to Sullivan County.

The 2010 perfect game was his first in a sanctioned Men's USBC league as his first 300 came in 2006 while bowling in the Jr.-Major Saturday morning Youth league at Kiamesha Lanes.
Edward has been bowling for some 13 years and came up through the ranks of the Saturday Morning Youth leagues at Kiamesha Lanes.
He is a 2009 graduate from Monticello Central School.

Here & There Column 3-20-12



Danke Schoen & Thank You Too


Now you've got to like traditional German food to even consider going into a Brauhaus.
Shirley and I on our travels to the Section 9 boys basketball finals at SUNY New Paltz were attracted to the Mountain Brauhaus Restaurant on Route 44/55 and 299 as we turned off of 44-55 to travel on 299 into New Paltz.
We both agreed that this would be our stop on the way back home after the game was over.
With a little Omp pa spirits in our mind and heart following the Livingston Manor Central School Wildcats win we headed for the Brauhaus.
One can generally tells if a restaurant is serving good food by the number of cars in the parking lot but many cars did not deter us and as we entered the door and was greeted by the hostess she politely informed us that there was a 45-minute wait.
We looked at each other and said we'll wait.
A little over a half-hour went by and we were visiting with some of the guests waiting for their table when we were notified of an open table. Everyone we talked to said the wait would be worth it.
A Brauhaus would not be a Brauhaus with the traditional separate bar room with many flavors or German brew on tap.
The restaurant has the look and feel of a traditional Brauhaus and when you order your rouladen, sauerbraten , kassler ripchen, knackwurst, bratwurst and bockwurst and schnitzel platters brimming over with red cabbage, sauerkraut and spaetzle you'll know your eating the best.
Try some of the pumpernickel and a glass of wheat beer and there is no way you are leaving hungry.
Fraulein Emma, dressed in traditional German garb served us some of the most delicious sauerbraten I have ever tasted......wow the flavor was outstanding.
For a culinary adventure you will never forget stop in at the Mountain Brauhaus Restaurant.

Bowling Highlights Column 3-16-12



Eddie Lake Scores Two 300's


Forty-eight year old Monticello kegler Eddie Lake is on a roll lately and he credits his accomplishments to a new bowling ball.
Ed recorded his 14th career 300 this past Monday, March 12 on lanes 9 and 10 bowling a 300 in the first game and followed it up with a 203 and 227 for a 730 series.
His13th career 300 game was rolled on February 27 in the same Monday Men's league at Kiamesha Lane on lanes 5 and 6 where he scored a 300, 205, 236, 741..
He presently has a 227 average in the Monday Men's league, a 232 average in the Tuesday Mixed Firefighters league and a 231 average in the Friday Mixed Doubles league.
And for both of these perfect game scores Lake wasn't using his old Hammer bowling ball but instead he recently switched to a new Hammer Epidemic drilled by Tom Palmer at Kiamesha Lanes. Eddie still talks about his old Hammer and bowls with it occasionally. He still believes in the fact that some of the old bowling equipment can still do the job..
About two years ago Lake had been without his now 24-year-old Hammer bowling ball as it was being repaired by Mickey Luongo down at Mike's Pro Shop in Middletown. He got the repaired ball back and in two weeks the old Hammer resulted in revising the Eddie Lake "300 game Express" as he smashed the maples for his ninth career 300 game on December 29, 2008.
Lake said the new Hammer ball has helped him scores two recent 800 plus series, He also missed another 300 game two weeks ago when he recorded a 299, leaving a four pin on the last ball.
During the 2007-08 bowling season Lake recorded four 300 games. Eddie had a 300 on January 21, 2008, scored another 300 in the second game of a match November 9, 2008 in the Friday Night Mixed league making it his third perfect 300 game that season.
Eddie on October 1 and October 2 , 2007, made bowling history in Sullivan County by bowling 300 games on consecutive nights. Lake on Monday October 1 in the Monday Men's league smashed the maples for a 223, 300, 277, 800 series. The next night, Tuesday October 2, while a substitute bowler in the Tuesday Mixed Firefighters league he scored a 207, 300, 235 for a 732 series. Both leagues are at Kiamesha Lanes.
His high 856 series was bowled in 2004 in the Wednesday Men's league at Kiamesha Lanes.
In this past Monday night's match his brother, Rick Lake banged out a 770 series with single games of 258, 248 and 264. The Monday Night Men's league Team Lake team consists of Ed, Rick, Roy Sweeney and Mickey Lake.
Considered one of the premier bowlers in the tri-county area Lake is single and comes from a well known Sullivan County bowling family with brother Ricky and his mother and father Mickey and Joan Lake.


The Bowling Tip
By Mike Luongo


Bowlers: This week's tip was suggested by a league bowler and applies mostly to those bowlers who are using modern bowling balls.
You may not know that the modern bowling ball is porous with several different densities and has numerous chemicals in the cover stocks.
Full coverage of this tip is available at http://bght.blogspot.com/
As these balls change temperature, the cover and core will expand and contract. Due to the different materials used for the core, inner core and cover, this fluctuation occurs at different rates.
Leaving the ball in a car when temperatures are severe, very hot or very cold, the expansion and contraction causes severe stress on the cover. This stress us even greater when a cold ball is used to bowl while it is still cold. This may cause the ball to crack.
So the tip is not only educational but let it serve as a reminder to take care of your bowling ball investment--avoid the experience that the above mentioned bowler went through--and if you carry your balls to and from the center, don't leave them in your car. Mike Luongo is a certified IBPSIA Pro Shop Operator, Master Instructor, USBC Silver Level Coach and an Advisor-Special Events assistant with the Storm and Roto Grip Bowling Ball Company.

National Tourney Starts Thursday

The 2012 NJCAA Division III National Tournament returns to Sullivan County Community College (SCCC) March 15-17 and once again a lot of pats on the back go out to the outstanding efforts made by representatives of SCCC and other community folks who have worked hard to bring a Men's College Basketball National Championship Tournament to Sullivan County.
The National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Division III National Championships will be hosted at SCCC in the Paul Gerry Fieldhouse beginning this Thursday March 15 and will go through Saturday March 17.
Eight of the best NJCAA Division III men's basketball teams will compete for the National championship and at the time of this writing one additional division had yet to be decided. The seven teams to date include The Bronx Community College Broncos, SUNY Delhi Broncos, Milwaukee Area Technical College Raiders, Cedar Valley College Suns, Central Lakes College Raiders, Brookdale Community College Blues and the Roxbury Community College Tigers.
In an upset that hits particularly close to home, the D-III National Tournament hosts, the SUNY Sullivan Generals, were beaten in Region XV seminfinal play by Nassau Community College on March 3 and will not be a part of this tournament.
Sullivan County is once again putting it's best foot forward for this event and we say a great big welcome to all eight teams, their coaches and their fans who should give a nice boost to our local economy this weekend.
If you want to see some great college basketball get over to SCCC for this outstanding display of talent. Tournament passes may be purchased by calling 845-434-5750, ext. 4294.

Local Bowler Makes PBA Debut

Twenty-six year-old Claryville bowler Shane Cunningham made his official Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) debut at the 69th U.S. Open at Brunswick Zone Carolier in North Brunswick, NJ the week of February 20-26.
Officially joining the PBA in January, Shane has been bowling for some eight years in several leagues at Kiamesha Lanes. He presently maintains a 211 average in the Wednesday Men's league and subs in the Tuesday Mixed Firefighters league and the Monday Men's league.
"I stated out bowling with the White Lake Fire Department team and also bowled with Dean Shattuck's team on Wednesday, Shane said.
Picking the PBA tournament with the toughest shot the association lays down is always an eye opener and when asked what the oiled 42 feet from gutter to gutter and 80% oil was like, Shane noted, "it was definitely eyeopening, a different experience and I definitely have to practice a lot more and will enter some upcoming Regional PBA tournaments."
His next PBA Regional tournament competition will include an event on the "White" pattern at Catskill April 20-22 and the East Regional Final with the same pattern May 4-6 at Rome, NY.
The bowling balls that Cunningham used in the US Open included three Hammer Taboo's.
Shane said that the tournament competition for him included Tuesday-Thursday rounds of 6 games per day for a total of 18 games. He didn't make the cut after Thursday's competition and said, "I averaged like 150."
Asked what got him into the game of bowling, Cunningham said he was inspired by "a family of bowlers including grandparents Claude and Ruth Hendrickson." He sadly announced that his grandmother passed away on the third day of his competition but that he was not informed about her death until after the competition was over.
Cunningham at the close of his competition also had the opportunity to meet the great legend in bowling, Carmen Salvino, who won 17 PBA tour titles. They shared a photo opportunity together with Mike and Mickey Luongo who now represent Storm and Roto-Grip in the Northeast. Salvino was inducted into the PBA Hall of Fame in 1975.
Four other Sullivan County bowlers, Dean and Kelly Shattuck of Monticello and Bob and Barbara Cady of Livingston Manor also attended the Thursday through Sunday portion of the U.S. Open.
Shane is married to Deb and they are parents to 8-month old daughter Zouey. He is employed as a correction officer with the Sullivan County Sheriff's Department.

The Bowling Tip
By Mike Luongo

Bowlers: This weeks tips is for all bowlers regardless of your level and it has to do with understanding the correct body position needed to execute a bowling shot and being able to duplicate it.
If you were to stand straight on the approach, facing the pins, letting the ball hang on your hand, you could not swing the ball straight without hitting your hip with the ball. This is impossible to do without swinging the ball around your hip because the ball is too big.
This "roundhouse swing" is not able to be duplicated shot after shot.
Therefore, you might be in a position to be able to swing the ball toward your desired target without any obstacles.
The tip: Get your head as far to the right (or left if left handed) and tilt our bowling shoulder slightly downward. Contrary to what some of your fellow bowlers might tell you, you must drop your shoulder toward the floor in order to avoid the "roundhouse swing". At the same time, slightly pen your hips and shoulder and you will be able to swing your arm straight toward your target time and time again.
Due to different physiologist, the exact position may vary slightly from person to person, but, when correctly positioned, you can use gravity to control the tempo of your swing.

Here & There Column 3-6-12


We Respect The Amish Lifestyle


During a recent visit to the Lancaster, Pa. Amish country it became very evident to me that the Amish lifestyle appears difficult for non-Amish folks but certainly simple to understand.
A buggy ride with a Mennonite driver and a walk through an Amish home gave me a great respect for the Amish people and I came away with a little bit of the peace, tranquility, and contentment found among the Amish.
An Amish woman cutting up some beans said quietly to me that tourists, although sometimes bothersome, are very good for the economy.
An important role in the Amish life style is the separation between church and the state and the Amish live by basic rules which includes no permanent physical attachments to the outside world.
That means no telephone wires, no electrical wires and no water or gas lines connected to their residence or work place. Simply stated there is no TV or Radio in use by the Amish. They do read their own published newspapers.
I liked the part when told that the kitchen is the center of the family activities.....we have lost so much when it comes to family activities and today its everybody doing their own thing without family unity.
You certainly do not find the Amish worried about gasoline prices as their horse drawn buggies eliminate that concern and their sources of energy include water wheels, windmills and the diesel engine run by propane which is used mainly for their milking machines, the milk cooler and the pump for water.
Their washing machines are run by a gasoline engine and ironing by the use of a Coleman iron which runs on white gas.
Propane is also used to light their lamps. The kitchen in the winter is heated by a wood or coal stove. In the summer a gas stove (bottled gas) is used for cooking. There is running water in each home and bottled gas is used to heat the water.
Amish do not build expensive church buildings and worship services are held at their homes in districts made up of approximately 25 families with Sunday worship services lasting from 8 a.m. to noon followed by a meal. The services move to a different families home each week.
Amish are very religious and follow the Bible teachings as literally as possible and apply it to every facet of their lives. The Amish are a non-resistance group and practice non-resistance daily.
Education is only through the eight grade as Amish believe that education is only necessary to the point of being a good farmer, wife, mother or housekeeper. One room school houses is the norm here and they pay school taxes but do not accept any help from the government.
In the Lancaster area large farms dot the landscape which includes the growing and selling of tobacco, considered their main cash crop.
Large gardens feed the Amish family and some will rent a stand in a market place and sell fresh fruits and vegetables and many hand crafted articles.
Not many in our modern lifestyle would be able to adopt to the Amish way of life and one has to admire how well they do without all the modern conveniences available to us today.
Asked what motivates what they do we were told the Amish have a strong belief in the bible verse, 1 Thess, 4:11 which reads, "And that ye study to be quiet and to do your own business, and work with your own hands."

Palmer Scores 17th Career 300

The Bowling Tip
By Mike Luongo


Bowlers: This week's tip is a reminder that although there are so many aggressive high performance bowling balls available, the main component of the sport is having a sharp game and becoming a good shot maker.
Lane conditions today have become very soft and that combination with today's bowling balls has led to high scoring conditions.
These conditions make the majority of today's bowlers very complacent about working on their physical game and what hopefully will save bowling are the Sport Bowling Leagues.
These leagues make bowlers learn how to adjust to varying lane conditions and understand how to use today's bowling balls becomes only part of the equation.
For those bowlers who want to maximize their potential in this sport, I cannot stress enough the importance of finding a qualified and certified bowling instructor. Finding an instructor who uses video technology to completely analyze your game will be very helpful.
The knowledge you gain from a Certified Instructor is knowledge that will be useful to you and will stay with you throughout your bowling life.

Manor Wildcats Wins Championship











Championships continue to roll in for the Livingston Manor Central School varsity boys sports teams as the Wildcats captured the Section 9 Class D boys baseketball title Saturday evening, March 3 at SUNY New Paltz defeating John A. Coleman Catholic 70-52. Livingston Manor the No. 1 seed in Section 9 now advances to the Section 1 championship game at 3 p.m. Tuesday at the Westchester County Center in White Plains. Last year Livingston Manor won the Class D baseball state title. Photos above from Saturday's game include action shots, team photo, presentation of the team championship ball.











Coleman Defeats Lady Bears










The prediction that the John A. Coleman Catholic girls varsity basketball team was a well oiled machine proved to be correct Friday night Feb. 3 at SUNY New Paltz in the Class C final as the Stateswomen defeated the Tri-Valley Lady Bears 56-28. Coleman's height advantage and stingy defense proved to be just too much for Tri-Valley. Coleman's tough defense contributed to many of the Bears turnovers. Tri-Valley finishes the season with an 18-2 record losing only this game and a regular season loss to Tuxedo. A good season Tri-Valley and great coaching by John Tenbus. Photos are from Friday nights game include game pictures, the large Tri-Valley crowd, andthe new Tri-Valley "Bears Den" cheering section.
