When something “special” happens in your game and / or life journey, a “special” mem- ory is stored in your right brain. When “special” happenings occur time and time again, the brain warehouses a magnetic gallery of unique experiences. If a recurring theme or common foundation of these images is evident, a vision / goal is often established that can quickly turn into a specific and “special” mission for one’s life focus. I have enjoyed numerous special moments / memories in my personal billiard jour- ney. My initial cue sport experience occurred at the age of 10 in 1959 with my first job as a “rack boy” at Elsie’s Pool Room in Minonk, IL. Then from 1967-1972 exposure to higher-level play in both pool and carom (3 cushion) took place at the college level. Special game challenges at the professional level from the early 1970’s until present day, including ESPN and WPA sanctioned events, fine-tuned a special joy I discovered both on and off the table, regardless of the final win-loss paper tallies. In 2010 I made a decision to be more open for outreach ministry as an expression of an overwhelming “theme of joy” for the game (and life) inspired by 40+ years of career centered entertainment shows using “trick shots and so much more”, plus a myriad of special teaching engagements – all with a “twist of humor”! Coupled with a solid foundational base for the game (and life) from Elsie’s and a supernatural billiard industry vision revealed to me in 1984 called the RACK Vision, a special mission for enhancing the billiard industry (and beyond) and for developing RACK Rooms worldwide evolved. Select mission stops have included: a special billiard venue station in the desert country two hours north of Cairo, Egypt; pool rooms in the jungles of Honduras; an assortment of pool room venues in Asia including a Philippines chicken coop (written about in previous articles); recreational centers / youth group fellowships and churches in the US and Canada; plus in November of 2017 – a heartfelt sharing of the “joy of billiards” in the Middle East. Following is a short story about this latter outreach: Building Bridges with Billiards in the Middle East Chaplain Steve Lillis with Gospel Trick Shot Ministries, Inc. and Tom “Dr. Cue” Rossman with Dr. Cue Promotions toured the Middle East for over two weeks (11/8 - 22, 2017) to help build bridges in the name of Jesus using a special “joy of the heart” message applied to the wonderful sport of billiards. Four war torn countries were visited includ- ing Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine, and Israel. A total of 13 Gospel Trick Shot shows were performed with 2 teaching clinics that included national billiards teams. Shows were done on American pool tables, English and Canadian snooker tables, a carom table, and a Russian pyramid pool table. Also included in the trip was a Holy Land visit with Muslim, Jewish, and Christian tour guides. Steve and Tom were special guest performers for the Arab Championships in Beirut, Lebanon, which included national teams from 16 Arab nations. In Israel they did a live TV interview, a Gospel Trick Shot show, and a teaching clinic for members of the Israeli billiard team. They also spoke at a Messianic Christian Church and helped start two Billiard Bible study groups in two different billiard rooms which are now called RACK Rooms (Recreational Ambassadors for Christ’s Kingdom) with one in Lebanon and the other in Israel. Travel was challenging as transportation was provided by 9 private cars, 7 taxis, 4 buses, 6 planes, all of which included travel through 20 military security checkpoints. Steve and Tom are also McDermott Ambassadors and McDermott cue sticks were brought and distributed as gifts to some of their special hosts and friends. Special thanks to all of our billiard friends across the region who helped build bridges across different cultural, religious, ethnic, and national backgrounds. Billiards is alive and well in the Middle East and is a strong bond to bring people together. Tom and Steve went as men of peace with cue sticks in hand with the message of Jesus who is the Prince of Peace! (End of story) The “special” mission of bringing a message of “joy” to the billiard industry continued on December 4, 2017 when another special moment in billiard history took place at the BCA (Billiard Con- gress of America) Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Las Vegas, NV. I was humbled and honored to be selected this year and am thankful for this “special” blessing God has given me, once again to be used for the higher mission purpose. Special thanks to everyone for his or her heartfelt support and encouragement to Marty (Ms. Cue) and me over the years! May each of you discover and / or follow a special mission in your life’s journey that brings you love, joy, hope, and peace... which I encourage you to share with others until next time (and beyond) when...

  • Memoirs of 1984
    Yuri Tarnopolsky MEMOIRS OF 1984 PREFACE In this book, published in 1993, I wrote, “Here in America, I ask myself a new question: Could anything like that happen here? It is America that I am now concerned about most of all.” I see the assault of Donald Trump & Co. on the body of American institutions, values, and traditions as a political gang rape. It was cheered, unfortunately, by a large part of Americans. The absurdity of “alternative facts” and the cold cruelty of the now infamous “ban on Muslims” revived my memories of the so-called “refusal”: the Russian ban on emigration of Jews of 1979-1987. I spent the actual 1984 in a Siberian prison camp on the Mongolian border. The Orwellian relics of the bygone Soviet-Russian life, some of which have been restored and burnished in Putin’s Russia, seem to be tested for import to the USA. I see with bitter satisfaction that George Orwell’s 1984 is being read again in America and some prominent Russian immigrants in the U.S. are shivering like in a cold draft. The worldwide march of anti-Trump protesters makes me hopeful, but not enough to ease my worries. It is hard to guess what the elephant in the china shop can do next. With all that, I clearly see that Donald Trump has touched upon some real and important problems and his voters are not necessarily bigots, retrogrades, and rednecks. He has a point. He is strong. I am worried all the more because he is strong enough to open the floodgates for lies, absurdity, and hate.
