7 « l f Liberty Bowl Rollin' Along for 30 Years Nancy 'Evans (left) and Marion Brooks (right) pose in front pf their historic picture board on display at the Liberty Bowl. The Liberty Bowl is cèlebrating its 30th year of operation. -- by Brad Kelly The Ontario Lottery Corporation Corporation claims that competing competing in its draws, is the most fun you can have for a buck. If that is true, then competing competing on a. bowling alley must be the most fun you can have for two bucks. This year marks the 30th year of operation for Bow- manville's Liberty Bowl. Bowling is game with many différant variations. Tenpin, fivepin, lawn bowling bowling and curling are just a few of them. Through histo ry, Polynesians' played a game they called Ula Maika, which involved rolling stones at target sticks. Interestingly, Interestingly, the sticks were placed 60 feet away, the same distance used in modern modern bowling alleys. Five pin bowling evolved Put a Smile on a Family's Face for Christmas The 7 Eleven Store at 180 King Street E., Bowmanville is sponsoring a needy family of 2 young boys ages 8 and 10 for Christmas.

People People would run down to the bowling alley during their lunches for a quick game. Many times a person couldn't get a full game in, so it was decided that if five pins were removed, the game would go quicker and bowlers could complete a game during their lunch. The first five pin bowling centre in Ontario was opened in 1909 by Toronto businessman Thomas F. Ryan. The first female five- pin bowler was Marion Dibble, Dibble, who rolled her first ball in 1920. Bowling in Bowmanville began in the 1940's when Jack Martyn operated a six- lane centre at the corner of King and Division. The centre centre was open to the public, who could bowl a game for 25 cents. Lander's Hardware moved into the building next, and today Gould's Cards and Gifts is in operation operation there. In a letter dated December December 12, 1947, the Senior Men's League of ,Bqwman- ville wrote Jack a letter with some suggestions on how to increase business. One suggestion suggestion was to remove a raised rubber foul line Jack had installed so that people would not step onto the lanes, The other was to taper taper the bottom of the pins so they would fall easier. The league's idea was that if the pins fell easier, people would score higher, and ultimately come back to bowl again. Jack wrote back to the league stating that good bowlers will stay behind the line and release the ball on the back side of the line. He also wrote that he didn't believe believe in tapering the pins, although although he had heard of other other bowling centres doing it. When Jack Martyn closed up, four of his lanes were moved to the Community Hall in Newcastle, where they are still in use today. In 1959, George Elliot and seven investors built the Liberty Bowl. The first ball thrown down the lane was by Cecil Osborne, on December 3, 1959. George managed the Liberty Bowl until his death, at which time A1 Osborne took over. In 1979 the Liberty Bowl changed hands. Nancy and Brian Evans, along with Marion and Erv Brooks bought the Liberty Bowl, and still own and operate it today. The Liberty Bowl has 12 fivepin lanes, a pool table, video machines, and a liquor license. There are 20 leagues in operation for men, women, co-eds, youth, and seniors. The youth bowling bowling league runs all day on Saturday, and the seniors bowl on five mornings and •one afternoon. Nancy and Marion estimate that approximately approximately 1000 bowlers will pay them a visit each week, with an age range of 4-90. The senior league is also involved in fund-raising at Liberty Bowl. A large piggy bank is placed on a table, and the seniors are welcome to place any loose change in the bank. One group that benefits from this generosity is the children from Courtice North School. The money collected by the seniors, pays for their bowling. The method of Dowling for the students of Courtice North is unique. A ramp is attached to the arm of their wheelchair, and the ball is rolled from the ramp. By moving their wheelchairs, the direction of the ball changes. After 10 years in the business, Nancy and Marion summed up their feelings this way, "We want to thank the volunteers who help run the senior and the youth leagues. The people who run the youth league donate all their Saturdays to help make the . league run smoothly. It's the volunteers that make Liberty Bowl the success it is." ..'j: .
