Many Sullivan Bowlers Make Port Jervis Bowl New Home With six weeks into the 2021-22 bowlers at the former Kiamesha Lanes received the sudden announcement that the bowling center had been sold and the site would become the location of a grocery store. This sudden announcement directly effected three leagues with a total of 36 teams but a welcome surprise came forth when Brigette Willis, the owner of Port Jervis Bowl, met with the teams from the Kiamesha Lanes Monday Men's league offering them 12 lanes on Monday with the league starting on October 25. Almost half of the Monday Men's league agreed to switch their league to Port Jervis Bowl and teams from the Tuesday Night Mixed Firefighter league and the Friday Mixed league joined in to fill the 12-lane house with the newly created Monday Night Mixed League. Several bowlers formerly from Kiamesha also switched their bowling to the Colonial Lanes in Chester. Sullivan County bowling teams making up the new 12 team Monday Mixed league at Port Jervis bowl include Dominicks, L&B Tack, 3S & 1P, Parker Racing, Boys Night Out, The Fugawees, Bob The Builder, We God Balls, Catskill Cookies and there are three teams that have yet to name their sponsor. Good luck to the new league and best wishes to Brigette Willis, owner and manager of Port Jervis Bowl. Bowling Tip By Mike Luongo In order for everyone to enjoy the bowling experience, it's common courtesy to follow a few simple guidelines. Here are some of the unwritten rules of bowling etiquette. 1. Always wear bowling shoes....street shoes will ruin the approaches. 2. Keep nasty language and outbursts in your head. Nobody wants to hear it. 3. Keep any food or drinks away from the lanes. Spilling anything can damage the equipment and is dangerous for others. 4. Be ready to take your turn...don't make everyone wait. 5. Don't step over the foul line...it's against the rules and can result in you tracking oil all over the approach. 6. Don't use someone else's ball unless given permission. 7. Yield to the bowler to your right if you're both up at the same time. 8. Stand off the approach and out of the line of sight of the other bowler until that bowler finishes. 9. Do not intrude on the adjacent lanes in any way.....that includes throwing your ball onto the wrong lane, standing or playing on another lane's approach, or doing anything that infringes on the adjacent bowlers' lane.

Due to the pandemic, significantly varying standards of federal, state and local orders impacted bowling center operations. As a result, USBC membership in the 2019-2020 seasons does not accurately reflect the historical membership for some USBC associations. The 2022 USBC annual meeting will be held at the The Orleans Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas April 25-28. Local Scores PORT JERVIS BOWL Monday Mixed J.J.
