Niifa Scores 2ed Career 300
Sixty-eight year-old Hankins
bowler Laresko Niifa celebrated his birthday on February 12 by scoring his
second career 300 game in the Tuesday Mixed Firefighters league at Kiamesha
Lanes.
He admitted that his actual
birthday was on February 11.
The perfect score came in the
second game of the night while bowling with the Van Keuren Landscaping team and
members Ed Guthrie, Sandy Lazarowics and Cecil Walters.
Niifa admitted that "all 12
strikes were in the pocket on lanes 3 and 4 while using my Motiv TR 2 bowling
ball."
Bowling for some 40 plus years
Laresko presently bowls in this league and the Monday Men's league, both at
Kiamesha Lanes and maintains a 206 average.
Laresko scored his first career
300 April 13, 2011 in the Wednesday Men's league at Kiamesha
Lanes..
Described by many as one of the
nicest gentlemen to strap on a pair of bowling shoes, Laresko scored his first
career 300 also using his Motiv-TR-2 bowling ball.
In the April 13 perfect game his total score included
a 225 single for a 710 series.
His previous high single game and
series was a 279 and 711.
Laresko is married with six children, is retired but
works as a tractor-trailer driver in the tri-state area for Webster
Transportation.

Bowling Tip
By Mike Luongo
Bowlers: Bowling Tournaments are an
exciting and interesting part of the bowling season and this tip will be helpful
to bowlers who will be traveling to different centers.
The tip: Make sure you have
everything you need in your bowling bag since accessories may not alwalys be
available.
What should you
carry?
1. Bowlers tape in important to
most bowlers, unless you are one of the few lucky bowlers whose thumb size never
changes.
2. Some type of thin patch so that
you can take care of a blister or abrasion before it gets
unpleasant.
3. A wire brush for the bottom of
your sliding shoe to keep it free of debris.
4. Hand conditioner--the type
depends on whether you hand is dry or moist when you bowl.
5. Something to keep your bowling
balls clean--what you need is determined by the type of ball and the surface
preparations (many products available now are approved for use during
competition).
6. A scuff pad is also recommended
for those of you who use sanded equipment , or in case of heavy oil (however,
this must be done before competition starts).
7. If you use finger grips, some
crazy glue and possibly an extra set of grips.
8. Finally, do not forget your
towels and some alcohol wipes. Get in the habit of wiping the oil off the ball
and if you get oil in the gripping hooles, the alcohol wipes will bail you
out.
