Third Career 300 For Shattuck- Durland Hits 290
Monticello right-handed power bowler Dean Shattuck was one of the strong proponents of a shot change for the Wednesday Men's league at Kiamesha Lanes this year and although many other bowlers saw their averages drop because of a more difficult lane pattern Shattuck made a ball change and banged out his third career 300 game on January 30,on lanes 3 and 4.
Dean noted that there was a need to change the oil pattern (or lane shot) because of the fact that the former easy house pattern produced averages that were not real.
"We needed a truer shot pattern", Shattuck noted, and now there are many fewer 200 plus averages.
The new Wednesday Men's "truer" shot pattern forced Dean to change balls and his style of bowling. Previously he was a down and in shot maker and now he uses an out and in pattern.
The ball change with the Brunswick Inferno and the style change has rewarded Shattuck with the highest league average status of 221.
The January 30 scores for the 46-year-old Shattuck were 300, 238, 237, 771.
His previous high series was a 792. He scored his second career 300 game on February 21, 2007 in the Wednesday Men's league at Kiamesha Lanes.
Dean is a member of the board of directors of the Tri-County NY USBC and this is the only league he bowls in.
He bowls with the Lawn Doctor team comprised of George Battle, Frank Muller Jr. Shane Cunningham and Larry Berens. Dean has been bowling for over 26 years.
Dean is married to Kelly and they have one daughter, Karla.
Employed as an electrician in Rockland County Dean also owns and operates his own electrical contracting business.
Forty-eight year-old Debbie Durland of Wurtsboro not only comes from a distinguished bowling family but she has also earned the title of one of the premier female bowlers in Sullivan Tri-County area..
Maintaining a 204 average Debbie left the 4 and 7 pin in the first frame of the third game January 29 in the Tuesday Mixed Firefighters league at Kiamesha Lanes and then went on to record 11 strikes in a row for a 290 single and a 665 series.
She used a Morich Onslaught bowling ball on lanes 9 and 10.
Debbie has one perfect 300 game bowled in August of 2004 in the Kiamesha Lanes Friday Doubles summer league. Her previous high series is a 720.
The 290 game was bowled with her Rock Hill Fire Department team.
Debbie also bowls in a league at Colonial Lanes in Chester.
Married to Paul, the family makes their home in Wurtsboro. Paul bowls in several men's leagues and son Donnie is an outstanding young bowler in several leagues at Kiamesha Lanes.
Debbie is employed in the business office at Crystal Run Healthcare in Rock Hill.

The Bowling Tip By Mike Luongo
Bowlers: This weeks tip will help you execute and repeat good shots by having your body set properly so that you can use the laws of physics to roll the ball and eliminate tension in your swing.
As I've mentioned in previous columns, too much upper body and head movement make it very difficult to repeat shots.
The purpose of the stance is to place the body in an athletic position, eliminate all unnecessary movements during the approach and reduce TENSION.
Resting forearms against the body, in the stance, will help reduce tension in the upper body.
How do we do this?
Here are the four steps in the proper order for setting posture.
1. Set the feet (toward your breakpoint).
2. Set your head (tilted over the ball).
3. Set your posterior (this is your balance point as you are swinging a heavy object).
4. Set the ball position close as noted above.
You are now in position to start a smooth approach. Maintain your body position and let the ball swing under your shoulder. You will find this easy to repeat shot after shot.
Note: Watch the PBA and note the body positions but keep in mind that your exact body position may vary to accommodate different physiologies. Also, if your bal does not fit, it will be difficult to eliminate tension from your swing.
Mike Luongo is technically certified through IBPSIA as a Pro Shop Operator and Teacher. He is also a Silver Level Coach with the USBC and is also the Northeast Technical Advisor for the Morich Bowling Ball Company (Morich Enterprises, Inc.) Mike is a member of the Brunswick Pro Shop Staff. If you have a question or subject you would like covered, he can be reached at 341-1694 or via e-mail at mikespro@warwick.net
Ed's Outlook
Modified bowling formats can spice up leagues and tournaments.
IIt just takes a little initiative from league and tournament officials.
The great thing about bowling is that it can be played at any level as a recreational activity or as a competitive sport.
Modified league and tournament formats offer many alternatives to traditional bowling.
The following formats can be officially sanctioned.......Ultimate bowling league and Pins over average, Baker System, 3-6-9- league and tournament, no-tap, sport bowling and scotch doubles.
Bowling is changing and is offering alternative and improved enjoyment. Bowlers should become aware of these changes.

USBC SELECTS USOC COACH OF THE YEAR NOMINEES
USBC coaches Jeri Edwards (Medina, Ohio), John Fukasawa (Applegate, Calif.) and David Pearson (Rochester, Minn.) have been nominated for USOC National Coach of the Year, Volunteer Coach of the Year and Developmental Coach of the Year, respectively.
The awards are organized through the USOC Coaching Recognition Program, which seeks to elevate the status of coaching as a profession and recognize the best coaches in the United States. Each Olympic and Pan American sport is invited to nominate coaches annually for the USOC Coach of the Year awards. National finalists for the awards, which recognize coaches for activity during 2007, will be honored at a special function at a time and place to be announced.
USBC Team USA head coach Edwards directed her athletes to gold medals in 11 events in the Pan American Games in Brazil, Women's World Championships in Mexico and Men's American Zone Championships in Guatemala. Under Edwards' leadership, Team USA's Bill Hoffman became the first American to win the men's division at the QubicaAMF World Cup in 12 years last November in Russia. Edwards, 45, is one of the sport's most respected coaches having earned Bronze, Silver and Gold level certification through USBC Coaching, the only bowling coaching program recognized by the USOC.
"This was an incredible year," Edwards said. "There's so much talent. This program has worked hard over the years to put it in position to be a force. You can see it in the performances of the athletes. This was maybe the most successful year for the team ever. We had a great team and many young players who stepped up to the plate and bowled well."
Now Edwards looks forward to a new chapter in Team USA history as professionals will join amateurs to represent the United States in international bowling competition. Last August, the World Tenpin Bowling Association voted to allow members of professional organizations to compete in international events, prompting USBC to change the selection procedures for Team USA in 2008. The men's team includes Denny's Professional Bowlers Association Tour stars Walter Ray Williams Jr., Chris Barnes, Tommy Jones, Parker Bohn III, Patrick Allen and Sean Rash.
"Last year closed out an era," she said. "I'm excited to have the pros be part of the team."
Fukasawa, a USBC Silver coach, has been coaching for 10 years in the youth bowling program at Fireside Lanes in Citrus Heights, Calif., where he was instrumental in developing a Saturday clinic for youth and adults. The 61-year-old - who was recently named 2007 USBC Youth Program Volunteer of the Year - has worked hard over the years to increase his knowledge and qualifications through the USBC Coaching certification program. Fukasawa began his coaching journey in 1997, earning certification as a USBC Level I coach. One year later he became a USBC Level II coach before earning USBC Bronze status in 2003. Fukasawa earned his USBC Silver status in 2007.
"John continues to give of himself because he truly enjoys helping others," said Debbie Haggerty, the Fireside Lanes youth director who nominated Fukasawa for the award. "He always has a smile and an upbeat attitude and relates well with the juniors. He is a great asset to our program, our center and our bowlers. He sets the mark for our other coaches."
"I'm flattered," Fukasawa said. "I do it because of the kids. The kids are very receptive. They come back from tournaments and let me know how well they've done."
Pearson has shown tireless dedication in his pursuit to help his athletes develop greater skills and better understand the sport of bowling. The USBC Silver coach worked with several athletes who qualified for and participated in the 2007 USBC Junior Gold National Championships in Buffalo, N.Y. Two of those athletes have qualified for the 2008 Junior Gold Championships in Detroit. Pearson, 53, was recognized among 2007 Bowlers Journal International "Top 100 Coaches."
"I am tremendously honored, humbled and thrilled to receive this nomination and recognition from USBC," Pearson said. "I am very thankful for the many phenomenal USBC coaches and instructors I have had the wonderful opportunity to work with throughout the years. Their help has meant the world to me, and without their dedication and true passion for our sport, I would not have achieved the level of skill and expertise I have attained and be the coach I am today."

PBA TOUR
Of all the times Michael Fagan dreamed of capturing his first Denny's Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) Tour title, never in his wildest dreams could he have imagined it happening the way it did last Sunday in Las Vegas.
Fagan and his teammate Danny Wiseman watched as Joe Ciccone missed a spare in the 10th frame that would have tied the match, giving Fagan his first title and Wiseman his 12th with a 210-208 win over Ciccone and Ronnie Russell in the 2008 PBA Exempt Doubles Classic at Red Rock Lanes.
The crowd at Red Rock Lanes along with Fagan and Wiseman sat stunned when Ciccone missed to the left and missed both pins, giving Fagan and Wiseman the title.
Fagan and Wiseman split $40,000 for the win and each earned an exemption for the 2008-09 season.
Fagan was an outstanding collegiate bowler at St. John's University and makes his home on Long Island.
The Denny's PBA Tour this week is at El Paso, Texas for the 2008 Bayer Classic at Oasis Lanes. The finals will be televised by ESPN at 12:30 p.m. Sunday February 10.

Here & There Column 2-5-08
Andrew Exner, 12, left, from the Tri-Valley Central School District received instruction from SCCC Generals pitcher Angel Betances during the opening of the 2008 Future Generals Baseball Academy held at the Paul Gerry Field House.Sullivan College Reaches Out To Young Baseball Players
We like the way SCCC Baseball Coach Mike Marra thinks not only about the future of his General's college team but the way he and the college reaches out to young baseball players in our surrounding communities.
Coach Marra thinks and lives baseball and will introduce American Legion baseball this summer to this area.
Registration and workout for the Floyd Keener Post # 315 American Legion Baseball will take place on Saturday, February 9 at 4:30 p.m. at the Pro-Prospects Training Center in Monticello for players ages 15-19 who reside in Sullivan County. Contact the SCCC Baseball office at 434-5750 ext. 4470 or go online for information at www.leaguelineup.com/post315rangers
The 2008 Sullivan County Community College Future Generals Baseball Academy is presently underway and continues through February 17 at the Paul Gerry Fieldhouse.
Coach Marra has put together an excellent program that is teaching our youth (ages 8-12 Rookies) and (ages 13-18) All-Stars everything they should know about the game of baseball.
On four Sunday's during the months of January and February Mike and members of the Generals college baseball team are giving hands-on instruction that includes defensive groups (instruction and drills for pitchers, catchers, infielders and outfielders. Hitting instruction at (offensive stations) include cage (short toss), tee work, soft toss, bunting and base running. This also includes live hitting. There is also classroom instruction for video and lecture presentations.
Members of the Generals team, under the direction, supervision and training of the SCCC coaching staff are offering county youth practice work-outs with the young baseball players in small groups of four to six players.
For the small registration fee of $80 each youth baseball player is receiving 10-hours of instruction, a future Generals T-Shirt, a future Generals Membership card, a participation award, a skill development notebook and a baseball evaluation.
Upon witnessing one of these baseball training sessions we can honestly say that Coach Marra and his team members and staff are giving our young players a first-class baseball clinic right here in Sullivan County in the middle of our winter season.
Winter is the time to prepare for the Spring and the combination of skill and smarts will hopefully be passed along to area youth attending this baseball academy.
This academy is an athletes dream come true because young baseball players will have the opportunity to learn that every time the ball is hit each player on the field has a job to do.
Learning what bat speed and hitting power is all about and what skills must be put in place to improve arm throwing strength and velocity are all part of the learning curve for young ball players.
We salute Sullivan County Community College, Baseball Coach Mike Marra and members of the General's baseball team and coaching staff for providing these learning abilities which someday could lead these youth to be future stars for our SCCC General's team.
