MONTCLAIR — Nei- ther rain, sleet nor recent record floods could keep bowlers away from compet- ing in the Annual Bowlers to Veterans Link Tournament (BVL)! On January 22, 2017, Montclair Bowlium held their annual BVL tournament. The event was open to USBC Members of San Gabriel Valley. Participants were placed into categories consisting of men, women and youth, with the respective category winners having the option to compete in the California State Finals held in Man- teca, California on March Azusa Bowling Club shows team spirit and unity at BVL Tournament 25, 2017. According to Chris Pilios, President of the San Gabriel Valley Bowling Association and Chairman of the BVL Committee, the tournament has been going on for over 70 years. Its goal is to help raise money for California disabled veterans. “Everything we do is volunteer work and everything we raffle goes directly to them. As always, we have a wonderful turnout. My sincerest respect and admiration go out to those bowlers who participated in this memorable event.” Chris Pilios, himself a veteran of the United States Army from 1956 to 1959, states he will continue to volunteer his time and effort to this worthwhile program.

The event began with opening remarks from BVL President Chris Pilios fol- lowed by the Pledge of Allegiance and a rendition of the Star Spangle Banner. All former military veterans were asked to stand at the approach and given a special recognition. An impressive display of group participa- tion was exhibited by the Azusa Bowling Club. Many Past and current president the San Gabriel Valley members proudly wore their USBC, John Hilke and Chris Pilios. black and white Azusa Club uniform in a show of unity and spirit. The highlight of the day came when bowler John Van Metre, Jr. bowled a perfect 300! Chris Pilios later commented, “We were very pleased with the number of bowlers in attendance, especially with the extreme rain conditions. Again, I applaud all the bowlers who showed their enthusiasm, as well as their patriotism.”

The success of the recent BVL bowling event was made possible by the efforts of many volunteers, including San Gabriel Val- ley USBC Board Members Display Banner honoring our veterans Linda Johnson-Pilios, Lynda Lapp, Annette Riccelli, Phil Lapp, Dave Prechtl and Scott Poddig. Special thanks go out to Andrew Rietta for managing the tournament brackets and side pots. The San Gabriel Valley USBC and BVL wish to express their gratitude to Billy Myers, Jr. and Al Macabuhay of Bowlium Lanes, for without their sponsorship and Bowlium’s newest addition, WOWO’s DINER, proudly generosity, this tournament wouldn’t have been possible. “Sempre Fi!” served its tournament participants.

MES QUE UN STRIKE ...... by Jerry Teunissen

Some bowlers cannot distance themselves from their equipment ... Also, for example, not of a few broken shoes. Too many good memories. Apparently you cannot throw them away.

What is the story behind these shoes? Remains hidden .... or ..... Is it Grief? Hope? Triumph? The end or the start of a long relationship?

For me bowling is a hobby, a relaxation. And the experience of pleasure is the most important aspect. A social event, meet people, have fun with each other but also try to play a serious game. It’s a combination. Not only throw your bowlingball in the right way but being interested in the problems sometimes of the other. Simply put some questions to another like, How are you doing today? Everything all right?

Bowling is more than just a work out five, six times a week, lots and lots of practice, on all kinds of level participate in tournaments, or play matches on the cutting edge and just try to win a match at all costs ... …... Bowling is more than being Moody if the ball doesn’t do what you want .... Bowling is more than just play a match to win or lose..

For me Bowling means something more. BOWLING? MES QUE UN STRIKE ...... It’s more than a strike ...... It represents a way of life.
