LAS VEGAS – Amateur Russ Davies
of Las Vegas won the most memorable
match of his career by defeating PBA
Hall of Famer Walter Ray Williams Jr.
to win the PBA50 South Point West
Open presented by Track regional at
the South Point Bowling Plaza.The 60-year-old Davies defeated
Williams 217-206 in the tit le match for
his first PBA title in the concluding
event of the inaugural PBA Fall
Classic.
“This is unbelievable,” said Davies,
primarily a local league and tourna-
ment bowler who is a member of the
Southern Nevada Bowling Association Hall of Fame.
“It’s the highlight of my career for sure. There’s noth-
ing like winning a PBA title especially when you can
do it by beating one of the all-time greats.”
Davies got off to an early lead in the
title match by starting with the first
three strikes and was able to hold off
Williams for the rest of the match.
Williams struck on the final ball of the
10th frame forcing Davies to mark.
The lefthander left a six pin and then
picked up the spare in the final frameto clinch the win.
“Let’s face it, I’m the underdog so I
was pretty calm for most of the
match,” said Davies who finished 22nd
in the 1974 Showboat Invitational as
an amateur. “When it came down to
having to pick up that six pin for the
win, I’ll admit I got a little nervous.”
In the semifinal match, Williams defeated Jeff
Jamison of Boulder City, Nev., 248-234, and Davies
beat Mike Kanada of Camarillo, Calif., 229-224, to
advance to the title match.

J o a n Ta y l o r ’ s . . . . .
Te n P i n R a p . . . . .Jack Vander Meulen, a Bowling Hero
This starts out as a “normal” article about a youth bowler who is a credit to collegiate bowl-
ing. After only 5 years of youth bowling, this young man has not only posted two perfect
games but also had his first at the national Junior Gold tournament in Chicago. More recent-
ly, Jack Vander Meulen, 19, rolled a 300 at Rockaway Lanes in the Friday night junior league.
In Chicago, he rolled the 300 in his third game of the Storm Survivor Tournament, which
was held after the qualifying rounds. He came in 35th out of 635 boys, no small feat in itself.
For that he earned scholarship dollars.
He also credits parents Cathy and Bob for family support. “I always love when both of themwatch me bowl.” They were in Chicago for Junior Gold and to witness their son’s achieve-
ment.
He took up bowling at Oratory Prep in Summit and made varsity during his freshman year.
Jack is now a sophomore at Fairleigh Dickinson University in Madison (NJ). He bowls in 3
leagues per week including Friday nights at Rockaway, Saturday morning juniors at Hanover,
and on Sundays, in a Junior Gold Traveling League at Sparta Lanes, Rockaway and Warwick.
He gave a shout-out to Dave Kinney for putting the traveling league together. “He’s a great
guy. He runs the league and tries to send as many people out to Nationals every year, but does-
n’t get the credit he deserves.”
Vander Meulen is studying Hotel and Restaurant Management and would like to someday
own a restaurant and get into the food management side of the business. Meanwhile, he aver-
ages 227 in his highest league, and resides in Madison with his parents, and brothers Bobby,
22 and Billy, 21.
Just a regular junior bowler, right? And now for the rest of the story. At age 4, Jack was
diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disorder known as Evans Syndrome. Every month he
takes in an infusion of medication. This may have been a factor in what happened to him a
few years ago when he was diagnosed with Stage 3 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, also knownas Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma. He had been losing significant weight over 2 weeks and
had a lymph node biopsy conducted at Morristown Memorial Hospital.
Five rounds of chemotherapy followed the diagnosis. He had to have his spleen and part of
his right lung removed. A close friend, Nick Sanato, held a fundraiser in June of 2014 to help
with the astronomical medical bills. All Jack wanted to do was to get back to bowling. He said
that the chemo gave him “horrible neuropathy in my feet, which resulted in nerve damage.
For a couple of weeks I used a one step approach.” Then he tried his traditional 4 steps and
was able to bowl his game.
For the past 4 months he took some time off, as the chemo had affected his stamina.
Returning to bowling, he says he “is taking it week by week. I enter occasional Junior Bowler
Tour tournaments here and there.” And to no surprise, his goal is to post an 800 series. Like
our other county “health heroes” he doesn’t dwell on what life has handed him. He simply
wants to bowl his best and enjoy the sport. Jack, you are truly a Rockstar!

“BAD BOY OF BOWLING” EARNING GREAT REVIEWS
The “Bad Boy of Bowling” documentary centered around PBA Hall of Famer Pete Weber’s
colorful career has yet to make its debut on ESPN’s “30 for 30” series, but producer Bryan
Storkel said the film continues to earn great reviews as it tours the nation’s film festivals.
“The film has played at over 25 festivals and has gotten a great response everywhere we've
shown it,” Storkel said. “We've played in San Francisco, Boston, Baltimore, Maui, Palm
Springs, Indianapolis, Portland, Seattle, Milwaukee and many more.”
The film is scheduled for additional screenings in November, including the St. Louis Film
Festival in Weber’s hometown Nov. 14 (where Weber will make a personal appearance to
answer questions); Nov. 16 at Doc NYC in New York City, and at the Cucalorus Film Festival
in Wilmington, N.C., Nov. 12-14.

AT CORAM COUNTRY LANES
By Bill Vint - PBA
LAS VEGAS – “Dead Money” is a
poker term related to the money left
in the pot by players who have fold-
ed. It also is the name a team of five
relatively untested bowlers gave
themselves before upsetting a high-
ly-decorated team of Professional
Bowlers Association stars in the
inaugural PBA Team Challenge at
the South Point Bowling Plaza.
The PBA Team Challenge, a first-
of-its-kind five-player team compe-
tition for the sport’s most talented
players, was conducted as part of
the multi-event South Point
Bowling Plaza Fall Classic.
Dead Money featured a lineup
including PWBA Tour
Championship winner Danielle
McEwan of Stony Point, N.Y., who
stepped into the lineup to replace
injured Alex Aguiar (who came up
with the team name); one-time PBA
Regional winners Alex Cavagnaro of
Massapequa, N.Y., and Matt
O’Grady of Matawan, N.J.; one-time
PBA Tour winner Anthony Pepe of
Elmhurst, N.Y., and 30-year-old PBA
rookie Matt McNiel of Prior Lake,
Minn., who made his PBA Tour
debut during the Fall Classic.
With McNiel bowling anchor,
Dead Money put together a string
of six strikes to take a 249-234 lead
after the first game of the two-game
Baker format title match and locked
up a 497-452 victory by out-bowl-
ing “4 Majors and 100 at 1” in the
second game, 248-218.
Combined, the five Dead Money
players have won one PBA Tour
title. The top-seeded “4 Majors and
100 at 1” own a combined 46 titles
including PBA Tour major champi-
onship by Bill O’Neill of
Langhorne, Pa.; Tommy Jones of
Simpsonville, S.C.; Wes Malott of
Pflugerville, Texas, and Jason
Belmonte of Australia. Tom
Daugherty of Wesley Chapel, Fla.,
the fifth team member, is known for
bowling a nationally-televised 100
game in “one” major – the 2011
PBA Tournament of Champions.
“We all kind of grew up together
bowling in Junior Gold and other
tournaments, and we’re good
friends,” McNiel said of his team’s
chemistry. “The big thing for us was
throwing good shots and having a
good time, and we had a blast.”
In the first match, 900 Global
Phoenix, with a lineup featuring
four past or current Arizona State
University collegiate bowlers plus
Phoenix-based Michael Haugen Jr.,
a four-time PBA Tour winner, elim-
inated Team Brunswick in the first
two-game Baker format match, 471-
411. PBA rookie Jakob Butturff, a
21-year-old lefthander, threw seven
strikes in eight attempts as 900
Global’s anchor bowler.
Dead Money then ousted 900
Global, rallying from a 43-pin
deficit after game one with a 278
game to win the match, 493-484.
McNiel threw two strikes in the
10th frame to lock up Dead
Money’s comeback.
The round-robin match play com-
petition leading into the stepladder
finals included a Baker format 300
game by Team Brunswick’s Walter
Ray Williams Jr., Sean Rash, Tom
Smallwood, Jason Sterner and
anchor bowler Parker Bohn III, the
all-time leader in 300 games
bowled in PBA competition (104).
Williams, Rash, Smallwood and
Sterner each threw two strikes.
Bohn struck in the fifth frame and
completed the perfect game with
the final three strikes in the 10th.

By Vince Albrecht
WEST HAVERSTRAW, NY - The Stan
Niemiec Youth Travel keglers crossed
the North Jersey border for their first
session ever at Hi-Tor Lanes and took
no prisoners in their annihilation of the
plastic-coats, exploding for fifty-seven
“200s” and seventeen “600s”.
Predictably, the host squad Hi-Tor lit
up the leaderboard with 2540, the after-
noon’s best net threesome, an average
of 211.67/player, as they won five of seven points from Bowler City I,
Johnny Toscano, now sporting a 229
average, led the onslaught with 222-
215-234-671 while his teammates all
posted huge numbers: Brandon Smith
251-213-656, Nino Sparta 211-203-
225-639 and Nick Sparta with 212, 207.
Bowler City I put together a strong
830 net to snare the opener, but couldn’t
stay with the victors’ scorching tempo.
Pacing BC I were Kyle Schellberg 221-
199-226-646 and Anthony Rizzo 210-
216-203-629, Gabby Pangaro and
Kristen Kane chipped in with 203 and
196 respectively.
Bowler City II fell two points back of
first place Hi-Tor by dropping two of
three games to Boonton in a match
dominated by high numbers. Boonton’s
quartet fired eight deuces. Erik
Kattermann posted 247-215-237-699,
Peter Hancock 205-205-211-621,
Rocco Pascale 203 and Mark Howarth
202. Igniting BC II was Matt Burzynski
189-231-269-689 with added “200s”
from Arielle Wallace 224, Allie
Woodhouse 203 and Jack Curillo 200.
In the day’s tightest match, Bowler
City III edged Fair Lawn, 2928-2885,
grabbing five points in the process.
David Grant posted 238, Peter Bondy
231, Nathan Tombo 224-202-618 and
Derek Lewandowski 217-201.
Powering Fair Lawn were Nick Greco
255-632, Steve Plaszky 236-227-627,

To our customers at the Parkway Lanes, 200 Route 46, Elmwood Park, N.J.:
There continues to be a number of rumors circling around the industry about our business.We had our Financial Consultant address the league officers recently and he attempted toprovide information first to the league members and second to our loyal customers. At thismeeting he disclosed confidential information with the attempt of gaining trust in thestatement that all of our leagues and parties are secure in the thought of using our facilityas their Bowling Center. We have been working hard over the past 8 years to provide ourcustomers the best and most comfortable bowling alley in Bergen County.
We mentioned in our meeting that we have been approached by several entities interestedin purchasing our business. We have been approached by more than a dozen viable entitieswith the interest of purchasing Parkway Lanes in the past three years, however in each casewe have chosen to hold on to it ourselves, in spite of economic challenges.
In all the possible scenarios, we will be f inancially secure for this season and manyseasons to come, as promised.
For those of you who have businesses or business experiences, you will know that aChapter 11 filing allows a business to operate but it also exposes the business to totaltransparency which means anyone who has an interest in buying our business must bedisclosed to the public. It does not mean, in fact a sale or transfer of ownership will takeplace.
The partners of Parkway Lanes have invested more than a million dollars of their hardearned money to maintain and keep their business responsible.
We are using this advertisement for one purpose and one purpose only. We wanteveryone to feel comfortable about having a bowling house that they can trust, and so weare asking you publicly to accept our commitment to remain in business for many years tocome.
We take this opportunity to thank all of our patrons, our league members, and ourcustomers who have enjoyed using our facility as their Birthday party house and theircorporate site for group gatherings.
