BBBI/KIDS BOWL FREE
CAMPAIGN RAISES FUNDS
TO SUPPORT BVL
John LaSpina, BVL Bruce Davis, BBBI, Mary Harrar, BVL,
Fred Kaplowitz, BBBI & BVL
METROPOLITAN WASHINGTON, DC – The Florida-based
BBBI/Kids Bowl Free recently raised $6,500.00 to support the recre-
ational therapy programs and services to help hospitalized military vet-
erans through BVL.
“We are delighted to have this opportunity to support our veterans,”
said President Bruce Davis. All of us at BBBI/Kids Bowl Free are proud
to be part of this program to make the days brighter for our American
heroes. We will never forget their sacrifice.”
The nationally-recognized promotion company BBBI/Kids Bowl Free
sent out an email to Kids Bowl Free families noting that a $1.00 per
Family Pass sold over the weekend of Memorial Day would be donated
to BVL by BBBI/Kids Bowl Free. The $1.00 came out of the Kids Bowl
Free portion of each sale --not from the participating bowling center.
The BBBI/Kids Bowl Free campaign is part of a nationwide effort
through the sport’s own charity – The Bowlers to Veterans Link – which
contributes approximately $1,000,000 each year to veterans’ recreation
therapy programs to help boost spirits and improve morale by providing
outlets for an active and engaged lifestyle.
“BVL dollars pick up where government funding leaves off,” explains
BVL Board Chairman John LaSpina. “These programs are a vital link in
the recuperation process. Time and time again, studies show that pro-
grams like the ones BVL provides are the key to speeding recuperation
and reducing stressors like isolation and loneliness. We thank our friends
at BBBI/Kids Bowl Free for helping us in our mission to make a posi-
tive difference in the lives of our veterans and active duty military.”
Founded in 1942, BVL has been honored by the Department of
Veterans Affairs for its long-time commitment to the support of our
nation’s veterans.
BVL is a national 501 (c) (3) charity which is consistently acknowl-
edged for efficient and effective programming delivered with extremely
low overhead. BVL has been recognized as one of “America’s Best
Charities,” earned a “Top Rated” Nonprofit distinction, and accepted
into the Combined Federal Campaign (#93325).

The Final Morris County USBC WBA Bowling Hall of Fame
By Joan Taylor
The final inductions for the Morris County USBC WBA
(women’s) Bowling Hall of Fame took place at Zeris Inn,
Mountain Lakes. A record 96 attendees saw history. After
August 1, this and the BA (men’s) association will work as
one merged unit.
Eight inductees in three categories along with their
escorts were first introduced after former inductees were
presented.
Three women were inducted into the Superior
Performance Category. Jennifer Drury was escorted by her
fiancé and fellow bowler, Stephen Friedella, whom she met
at Hanover Lanes. Her achievements included a composite
average over ten years of 191, 16 series of 700 or more, two
300 games, first place titles in county events, first place in
the state team event, and a first and second at the Garden
State Games in the highest average women’s division.
Debbie (Apgar) Feliciano’s children, Alex, 9 and Abigail,
5, escorted their mother into the banquet hall. She, too, met
her husband Mike through bowling. In fact, he proposed to
her through this writer’s weekly bowling column. Her high-
lights include: a 204 composite average over ten years,
three games between 290 and 299, first place in four coun-
ty events and a first in the state women’s team event.
Joyce Hulbert entered the hall with son Matt and grand-
children Abbie and Jacob. She, too, met her husband Chuck
through bowling. Her credentials included a composite
average of 200 over ten years, 19 series of 700 or more and
one game between 290 and 299. She has five first place fin-
ishes in women’s county events.
They were followed by three women in the Meritorious
Service category.
Liesl (DiRocco) Apgar was escorted by her husband
Allen. Yes, they met through bowling. She has served the
county for more than 12 years as a Director and Lane
Representative. She has also served on a host of committees
including chairing the Awards Committee, Bowling Clinic,
Queens/Princess tournament, Tournament program book,
and Scholarship Committee. She has the distinction of
being only the second member of the Hall of Fame having
been inducted into Meritorious Service as well as Superior
Performance (2009). The other dual category member was
the late Sophie Hendershot.
Carol Scheu was escorted by Michael Calvin and her son,
Alex Jadeszko, who celebrated his birthday at the cere-
monies. Alex also inducted his mother. Her service to the
association continues today. She has served as a director
and lane representative for 15 years, a league officer for 23
years, attended 52 workshops, was a delegate to the state
and national meetings, and served on 15 committees, chair-
ing at least half of them. She is also a Level 1 USBC
Certified bowling coach and a registered volunteer.
Dori Tingoli entered with her daughter, Marissa Marie
Tingoli. Although she manages Rockaway Lanes, she qual-
ified for Meritorious Service based on her service as a coun-
ty Director and Lane Representative for six years, a league
officer for 21 years, attendee at the national Bowl Expo for
20 years and a state delegate for two years. She has served
August 8 - 14, 2018
on 11 committees and chaired four of them.
The two final inductees came under the new category of
Veteran Superior Performance. The first was Sharon Bush,
escorted by sons Mark and Stephen and daughter, Michelle
Light. She was inducted by her long-term bowling friend
Frank Zabriskie. Among her achievements over the years
was having been the only female on the Butler High School
bowling league. She has also worked at Butler Bowl and
more recently at Boonton Lanes. Her bowling highlights
include a composite average over ten years of 190 and nine
series of 700 or more, one 300 game, one game between
290 and 299, first place in a Boonton League and a member
of the top five average women in Passaic County for four
years.
The final inductee was Linda Klusick, escorted by her sis-
ter Jennifer and long term bowling friend Lynn Blanco. She
has bowled in county, state and national tournaments over
many decades. Her composite average over ten years is 187.
She has posted two series of 700 or more and one game of
290-299. She posted two first place finishes in county
events, including the 2017 Senior Charity Tournament
Singles, and two first places in state events. She credited a
list of county notables with honing her bowling skills, but
her father, the late John Klusick was at the top of the list. At
the conclusion of her acceptance speech, Linda quietly
donned a red cap, a trademark of her father. Here is the
biggest punch line of the day’s event: Linda was the last
inductee into the women’s county association hall of fame,
and John Klusick was the first inductee into the men’s hall.

Mexico, Sweden Win Doubles at 2018 World Youth Championships
ALLEN PARK, Mich. - The
Junior Team USA girls may not
have claimed a gold medal in their
first two events at the 2018 World
Bowling Youth Championships,
but they've advanced to both
championship matches and
walked away satisfied with their
execution in the spotlight.
In the girls doubles final at
Thunderbowl Lanes, McKendree
University teammates Breanna
Clemmer of Clover, South
Carolina, and Taylor Bailey of
Joliet, Illinois, came up just short
in a 433-420 loss to Paola Limon
and Raquel Orozco of Mexico.
The Junior Team USA boys still
are seeking their first medal-round
appearance at the 2018 event but
are equally motivated and excited
heading into the team competition.
The boys doubles gold medal
was earned by Robert Lindberg
and Alfred Berggren of Sweden,
who cruised to a 479-383 victory
over Australia's Jayden Panella
and Blayne Fletcher.
The Swedes combined for 16
strikes in the match on the way to
games of 255 for Lindberg and
nated the advantage.
Limon struck on her next three
shots, and Orozco rallied with four
consecutive strikes of her own.
Orozco was able to lock up the
match with nine-count on the first
shot of her final frame, after
Clemmer failed to strike on her
own first offering.
Limon finished with a 227
game, and Orozco contributed 206
in the win. Bailey led the way for
the United States with 226, and
Clemmer had 194.
"Sometimes, the energy you
have just knowing you've won a
medal makes it hard to focus, and
after the splits, it's important to
stay calm and refocus and figure
out a way to strike again," Limon
said. "Winning this gold medal
means everything, and it's a great
way to say goodbye to the youth
events, since it's our last year."
All four players in the girls final
credit college bowling for their
focus, teamwork and resilience.
Limon and Orozco, who both
hail from Tijuana, Mexico, have
spent many years together on the
lanes, so they're familiar and com-
stronger because they're able to
communicate, and that was on dis-
play the game they crossed togeth-
er during doubles qualifying and
posted scores of 514 and 451 for a
965 total. Johnson and Cummins
finished eighth in doubles.
"For Taylor and I, there's a
bond from school that holds us
together, and no matter what
happens, we compete as one, and
I think that's the biggest thing
I'm going to take away from
today," said Clemmer, who won
a bronze medal in singles earlier
in the week. "Now, we're really
excited for tomorrow, and it's
something we've been looking for-
ward to all week. When we
bowled together yesterday as a
group, it was exciting to see how
well we worked together."
On the way to the doubles final,
Limon and Orozco topped
Canada's Dakota Faichnie and
Mykaela Mitchell, 421-355.
Clemmer and Bailey defeated
Sweden's Cajsa Wegner and Alida
Molander, 398-380.
Lindberg and Berggren earned
their spot in the boys final with a
(1,399) and Jeffery Mann of West
Lafayette, Indiana (1,255), com-
bined for a 2,654 total and finished
fifth in doubles Monday, 19 pins
out of the cut. Bryan Hahlen of
Greenwood, South Carolina
(1,292), and defending doubles
champion Wesley Low Jr. of
Palmdale, California (1,210), fin-
ished 18th with a 2,502 total.
"On the boys side, we're still
searching a little bit," O'Keefe
said. "We've had some big games,
and then times when things just
didn't go our way. For sure, we've
been behind the transition, but
we'll work to stay ahead of it
tomorrow, and I'm confident we'll
have a great team event."
The Junior Team USA boys are
the three-time defending champi-
ons in the team event, while the
girls are looking for their first win
since 2012.

August 8 - 14, 2018
All competitors at the 2018
World Youth Championships will
be back on the lanes for three
games of team competition. The
top four teams in each category
will advance to the semifinals. The
semifinal and final matches will
feature a best-of-three Baker for-
mat.
Gold, silver and bronze medals
will be awarded based on 18-game
pinfall totals - six games in sin-
gles, doubles and team - and the
event's top individual performers,
24 boys and 24 girls, will advance
to Masters match play.
The World Youth
Championships is held every two
years, and the 2018 edition has
brought more than 200 competi-
tors from 37 countries to the
Detroit area to bowl for medals in
singles, doubles, team, all-events
and Masters competition.

224 for Berggren, while the right
lane proved to be the undoing for
the Australians, yielding three
splits and a washout. Fletcher shot
193 in the loss, and Panella added
190.
Mexico's Limon was dominant
in qualifying, opening her six-
game block with a 774 series, a
three-game record at the World
Youth Championships, while her
1,412 block tied the six-game
mark.
She and Orozco also set the sin-
gle-game record for girls doubles

%XPSHU%RZOLQJ
with a 516 second-game effort and
)ULHQGO\)DPLO\$WPRVSKHUH
went on to outdistance Clemmer
and Bailey for the top seed by 52
pins.
Limon's striking ways continued
in the championship match, and
five consecutive strikes to start the
game applied early pressure,
before four splits, two from
Orozco in the fourth and fifth
frames and two from Limon in the
sixth and seventh frames, elimi-
fortable, and bowling at the
Savannah College of Art and
Design (SCAD) and University of
Nebraska, respectively, has helped
them mature as competitors.
"We feel this is unreal, and
because we participated in college
bowling, we felt super prepared
for this event," Orozco said. "The
things we learned in college bowl-
ing, especially the mental prepara-
tion, helped us today. We are
proud to be able to do this for our
team and all the Latino bowlers."
The bond Clemmer and Bailey
have built as McKendree
Bearcats, and as two-time national
champions in 2017, already has
helped them immensely at the
2018 World Youth
Championships, and they can't
wait to take the lanes with singles
silver medalist Caitlyn Johnson of
Rockwell, North Carolina, and
Mabel Cummins of Elburn,
Illinois.
