Re-Creation Still a Thrill for Vets By Mary Lynly

Bowlers have donated to the “Bowlers Victory Legion” since World War II when they purchased three ambulance planes to ferry wounded home. A BVL Classic tournament emanated from this and then it was over…..for everyone but California and California WBA President Elva Stevens decided it was too good not to utilize its value and continued the tournament each year. California still holds a state tournament to determine division winners. Over the years the name has changed here and there in California and currently honors Helen Duval who was honorary Chairman for the charitable endeavor for years and is known as The Helen Duval BVL Program. The national program is known as The Bowlers to Veterans Link.

Donations have risen to nearly ten million since inception benefitting Veteran and Military Hos- pitals and Outreach Programs throughout the U.S. and part of that is Veteran’s Homes like the one in Yountville, California. One of the pluses is the entertainment group Re-Creation, a group of talented young people who put on a program to well the heart with patriotism. Songs that honor freedom and country thrilled the over 100 vets who were entertained at the Yountville Veteran’s Home in September and one of the best parts was each one of the 11 entertainers going through the audience handing out their picture and autographing it beside having personal conversation with the audience.

Melissa Ade and Mary Lynly were as thrilled as they had ever been over the years to see these young people perform again. The sad part was that we were the only ones representing bowling and our program does so much to support their annual tour of the hospitals. If you haven’t been there in a while drop in and take a look at the newly remodeled bowling center! Chairman Rosie Parker sent out the Recreation schedule in plenty of time and I would hope the next time they are in California that you get a group together and enjoy a wonderful show.

USBC Announces High Average and High Series Awards for 2012-2013 Adriana Mazyck, 29, of Canoga Park, Calif., claimed the Female Sport Bowling National High Average Award, registering a 203 average for 104 games in the Del Guyer Sport Trios league at Corbin Bowl.

Save some for us by Mary Lynly, CBW Publicity NORWALK — I don’t know about you but I have been inundated by appeals for everything imaginable: Church, St. Jude, SPCA, Salvation Army, Shriners Hospital, WIND (for youth – Work- ing in a New Direction), Paralyzed Vets, Disabled American Veterans, Heart Association, Cancer Society, Toys for Tots, Aids Foundation and more. These are just some I donated to, to say nothing of all of the appeals from political groups and other social things in my area. I believe in supporting things that are important to me but it seems that the things that are used to raise money for different causes have elevated to an unbelievable level. Many appeal to us emotionally and unfortunately – it never seems to stop. The phone calls are a major source of annoyance and to make a long story short – I feel harassed. When you send a donation and then three months later you get the same appeal and can’t remember whether you sent them something and do it again I realize that this is the plan. It happens too much and I now keep a list and date of who and when I donate to.

This brings to mind all of the appeals for our troops: Wounded Warriors, Fischer House and more – all good causes and their advantage over our California Bowling Writers Phone Cards for Troops is their media connection and visibility in asking for donations. We don’t have that and depend on the few things at our disposal – email and Facebook and our CBW Email Connection to contact our members and past supporters.

There is no doubt that bowlers are generous supporters of causes and when I realize that once Monday Nights : 6:30 PM again we will give a huge check to the Susan b. Komen fund and someone from their organization SOUTH POINT 2013 “FALL OF FUN” PRIZE FUND PAYOUT will come and “pick up the check’” – usually around $800,000 and we get NO RECOGNITION to Meeting : November 25 2013 at 6:00 P.M.

Thanks for reading. And your comments are always Dean: But...... welcome. Carol: Steve has a point. My old mentor used to say, “There are two ways to get good; practice a Mama Mancini lot...... or practice doing things the right way.” Then she’d wink and say, “Someday, you’re going to be real good!” I hate to admit it, but Steve’s right.

Monday,January 6,2014 3 6 7 2 8 5 9 4 1 Steve: The first is: Bowling is a game of skill, not power. Watching many of today’s pros gives 4 3 5 8 1 6 2 9 7 the impression that bowling is all about power, but that’s an illusion. Accuracy and consistency 1 7 2 4 9 3 5 6 8 comes first for them; it needs to come first for you also. That’s important to understand because ENTRY $40/PER SQUAD 8 9 6 7 5 2 3 1 4 delivering a ball powerfully, into a gutter, scores NOTHING! That is true for everyone. 7 8 9 3 6 1 4 5 2 Carol: Well said. 6 2 4 5 7 8 1 3 9 Squad A: 9:00AM/Squad B:NOON Steve: The second is: What you do determines what the ball does. The ball doesn’t have a mind of 5 1 3 9 2 4 7 8 6 its own. You are the only thing responsible for where the ball ends its journey. That’s important Squad C: 3:30 PM because it explains why you must learn, understand, and practice an EFFECTIVE delivery rather than making lame excuses. That is also true for everyone. Carol: I’m going to miss hearing all those excuses. They sell a lot of towels! Steve: The third universal truth is: The ball travels a line to it’s target. That line is unique to every bowler. It begins in the stance and ends at the pin(s). Again, that is true for everyone. To become a respectable bowler, you must learn to get the ball on that line and keep it there dur- ing each step of your delivery. A bowler who doesn’t follow this rule is doomed to a career of inconsistency. Carol: Is that it? There’s only three of them? Steve: My original list had eleven. RIVERSIDE LANES Carol: Eleven?! What happened to the others? Book Sweepers or Group Reservations Steve: I really don’t remember. They probably just didn’t apply equally to grandmothers, kids, left-handers, you know, they just weren’t truly universal. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying 1-888-590-2695 there’s only three, but they’re the only ones I could come up with that applied to bowling tech- RiversideResort.com / BowlLaughlin.com nique.

Lessons by Appointment Steve: I wish I could afford it. Carol: Okay, how about this? Next week I’ll let you explain how those truths apply to technique? THE PRO ZONE Steve: It’s a deal.
