Great Community Support For Tri-Valley Basketball Team
A big round of applause goes out this week to all the hoop fans from Grahamsville, Neversink and the Tri-Valley school district who traveled almost three hours to SUNY Old Westbury several weeks ago for the state quarterfinal game between their favorite Bears and Long Island Section VIII champion Friends Academy.
One side of the large SUNY Old Westbury gym was three-quarters filled by Tri-Valley fans which clearly showed the strong outpouring support from this community that supports its youth and their sports programs.
Three spectator buses along with the team bus and cheerleaders bus and many individual vehicles made the supporting trip to Long Island but the year for "The Team" unfortunately came to an end with Friends Academy defeating the Bears 53-47.
A tough defeat for not only the team and coaching staff but for the Tri-Valley side of the stands who loudly and appreciatively applauded the team at the end of the game when the coaches and team walked across the court to applaud their hundreds of local fans who supported them throughout this hoops season.
Just outstanding.....I have never seen this done by any other team.....but the team stood out in defeat with their heads held high and gave special thanks to their fans.
Having attended many of the Tri-Valley games throughout this past season, the fans always filled the stands at the Bears gym and a large following also attended the away games.
On March 7 at SUNY New Paltz a big, big crowd of Tri-Valley fans made it appear that the whole town had come out to support this fine group of basketball players and their dream season.
A tough loss at Old Wesbury but hopefully all will remember the good times and the great season and the sports honors that this Tri-Valley Bears varsity basketball team has brought to not only their school district but the entire county.
It was fun watching a well coached, talented and spirited high school basketball team and our congratulations go out to them and the great community fan support given this team throughout the season.

Twenty-nine doubles teams consisting of 58 bowlers from New York State and Pennsylvania competed on Sunday, March 18, at Kiamesha Lanes in The Fourth Annual Sullivan County Democrat (Men's) Scratch Bowling Challenge tournament.
The snow storm on Friday and Saturday forced the tournament into a one-day event with competition on Sunday consisting of both the qualifying round and three head to head elimination rounds that determined the champions in four divisions.
After qualifying each team was seeded into 4 divisions.

Making the trip from Sullivan County to Reno will be the Medicap
Pharmacy team consisting of Paul Minton of Liberty, John Fischer of
Callicoon, Jaryl Scott of South Fallsburg, Vinnie Collura of Monticello and
Mark Wegener of Woodridge.
Also competing in this tournament in the doubles and singles

The Medicap Pharmacy team will enter the competition with a 1078 team
average. Individual averages include Minton with a 212, Fischer 215, Scott
218, Collura 213 and Wegener 220. Belgiovene carries a 197 average in the

It has been 30 years since the United States Bowling Congress Open
Championships was first held in Reno, Nev., and the tournament's love
affair with the Biggest Little City in the World continues in 2007 after
the Open Championships kicked off recently at the National Bowling Stadium.
USBC Hall of Famer Jim Schroeder, dignitaries, The Twelve Irish
Tenors, Olympic medal-winning rhythmic gymnast Maia Tabakova and 760
bowlers turned out for the opening day events, which included the
traditional Mass Ball Shot Ceremony, a marriage proposal and the crowning
of "Joe Bowler."
Howard Babbitt of Millerton, N.Y., earned the distinction of Joe
Bowler, a tradition that began in 1951, and rolled the ceremonial first
ball, signifying the official start of the 2007 USBC Open Championships.
The tournament will run for 135 consecutive days and more than 16,000
five-player teams are scheduled to compete
before the tournament concludes on July 1.
"Each year when I sit in the squad room, I hope they don't pick me,"
said Babbitt, who has bowled on opening day for 17 years and rolled a seven
count to open the tournament. "But it was quite an amazing experience to
be out there on the lanes wearing the cape and crown. I wasn't really
nervous, but my thumb did stick a little bit."
Prior to the earlier squad, Cecil Whitehouse of Clarksville, Tenn.,
proposed to his girlfriend Maribel DeJesus and the couple shared the
engagement with nearly 400 anxious bowlers.
Presenting sponsors for the 2007 USBC Open Championships are
Eldorado, Silver Legacy and Circus Circus Hotel/Casinos in Reno, Nev. Other
participating sponsors are Kegel, official lane maintenance provider, Sands
Regency Casino and Hotel, official brackets sponsor and supporting sponsors
Atlantis Casino Resort and Spa and Harrah's Casino and Hotel.

Bowling Highlights Column 3-23-07
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 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 rotation, or if friction on the ball's path down the lanes is not there.....the ball will go straight.

Ed's Outlook
The Tri-County NY USBC Association has just completed their two tournaments for 2007.
The Open (mostly men's) tournament was held at Callicoon Lanes with fair participation by teams from Sullivan, Ulster and Orange Counties. We are sure the tournament committee will look at suggested changes and make added improvement for the 2008 tournaments.
The Association Women's tournament was held at Ellenville Lanes and had above average participation.
A nice job overall by the tournament committee at both tournaments and everyone looks forward to next season's tournament schedule.
A thank you to the owners and management of both Callicoon Lanes and Ellenville Lanes for the use of their facilities.
