Spilyay T y ro o o , W arm Springs, O reg on February 28, 2 0 0 8 Perfect game at holiday tourney B y L eslie M itts Spilyay Tymoo Gerald Danzuka has a new ring to highlight a recent bowl ing accomplishment. Danzuka bowled a perfect 300 during a game at the annual holiday tournam ent at Lava Lanes in Bend and receive his commemorative ring in the mail recently. Danzuka, who works as a judge at Tribal Court, said be fore that point his highest score was about 277. H e’s been bowling for nearly 24 years after taking up the hobby in high school. For a high school physical education course, Danzuka said, he was required to participate in bowling. After that he chose to continue and bowled in stu dent leagues in college. Now he bowls once a week, at least, Danzuka said, and all three o f his children bowl as Gerald Danzuka well. This particular occasion was especially important to him, because of who he dedicated his game to. “I think this one is a really sentimental one,” Danzuka ex plained. “Before I w ent up, mentally I felt like something good was going to happen.” For that reason, D anzuka chose to dedicate that game to his late ex-mother-in-law, who is also the grandm other o f his children. “I thought, well, if anything good comes I’ll honor the kids’ grandmother,” Danzuka said. In general, the perfect 300 is something Danzuka has always strived to accomplish. “To me it was just unbeliev able,” D anzuka said. “ O f course the next day I couldn’t bowl worth beans.” Danzuka still managed to fin ish the tournam ent relatively well—-he finished 4th in the Big Dog challenge, and just below the top ten in singles, doubles and with his team. Danzuka would like to ex press his appreciation to Austin Greene and family for organiz ing the tournament. H e encourages o th ers to take up bowling as a hobby as well. “For me it really has just been a source o f enjoyment,” Danzuka said. “It’s a challenge. N o two games are ever the same.” Cash awards in Biggest Loser Challenge Com m unity m em bers can find out who the biggest loser is with the annual weight loss chal lenge beginning soon.
