The back-to-school blues have slowly

given way to the fall sports season.

Everyone is settling down into a new

routine after the lazy days of summer.

There’s a lot going on this season.

Fall is a great time for sports and also for

us sports fans. We’ve got soccer, football,

volleyball and cross county all going strong.

In this issue we wrap up the Connie

Mack World Series and make some

predictions for the coming season, and we

also give you updated information on where

graduating prep athletes are going to

continue their sports careers.

We started Four Corners Sports in the

summer so that when everyone went back

to school we would have a routine already

in place to bring you all the best sports

stories in the area.

We are fortunate to have great local

schools here and we feel sports — in

addition to other extra-curricular school

activities — have a significant role in the

educational and maturation process of our

young people. This is why we started an

entire magazine to cover local sports. Be-

cause of your location and because terrain

sports are a huge part of everyone’s life.

Additionally, school sports matter.

They matter not just because of the

scores, but also because of the

commitment these students make to be

part of team that is bigger than themselves.

You don’t have to be the best. You just have

to do your best and work hard to make

your best better.

Now that we are all back in the groove

we will need your help in pinpointing and

highlighting all the athletes, coaches, and

individuals who contribute to the high level

of competition and excellence our area

schools put forth each year.

We will be distributing magazines almost

all area schools and hope you’ll enjoy

reading about your friends, family and

neighbors who put so much effort into the

games they love.

So, send us your stories by liking us on

Facebook or go to

Some people learn Tae Kwon Do for self-de-fense, others do it to build self-esteem, but

no matter the reasoning, Kim’s Tae KwonDo in Farmington has helped students

learn important life skills for more than30 years.

Since the school opened in 1981,Master Instructor Robert Watson

has taught children and adultsdifferent martial arts skills.With the main focus on TaeKwon Do’s defensive style, theschool also teaches othermartial arts forms such asJudo and Jujutsu.

Watson became interested in martial arts ata young age, after his brother left a Judobook lying out in his childhood home. He be-came hooked on martial arts and startedtaking classes at Golden Eagle Martial ArtStudio in Farmington. “People then startedasking me to teach them. I was teaching 15people in the basement of my home,” Watsonsaid.

He eventually traveled to Albuquerque to finda martial arts school with which he could collaborate.

Watson met H.C. Kim, founder of Kim’s Mar-tial Arts, and they became instant friends.The two worked together and several yearslater the Farmington Kim’s Tae Kwon Do

Tae Kwon Do great for self defense and self confidence

opened its doors on West Broadway.

Thousands of students have passed through the

Farmington Kim’s Tae Kwon Do, and currently Watson

is teaching more than 60 students.

During the classes, students work on improving their

skills and earning different colored belts as they

progress. It takes nearly three years to earn a black

belt, which is one of the highest achievements for

students. “Belt promotion is when you test every

three months and you must show improvement,”

Watson explained. “The fighting gets progressively

more complex and you must demonstrate power.”

Danny Moore has demonstrated power and dedication

to the martial art form since he has trained at Kim’s

Tae Kwon Do for 25 years.

“My parents originally enrolled me

because I was a klutz and, according to them, I had

three left feet. Tae Kwon Do brought me coordina-

tion,” explained Moore, who also is the Tae Kwon

Do instructor at San Juan College.

“I always encourage people

to take it for self-de-

fense, but I’ve seen a

huge increase in self-

confidence, especially with

my college students,” Moore

said.

Moore’s wife, Katie, also has been in-

volved in Tae Kwon Do for several years.

She earned her black belt three years ago.

“I think when you first start you see your

goal as earning the black belt. It is a huge

accomplishment, but now I work on more

detail and more learning. The black belt

gives you the foundation you need” to

improve the techniques, Katie explained.

Students sign up at Kim’s Tae Kwon Do for

various reasons.

Mitch Ochoa, black belt student, said he

picked up Tae Kwon Do because it has

8 Four Corners SporTS September 2013

helped him to “not back down from a challenge.”

His wife, Angela, also a black belt student, said martial arts also “is

very family oriented because parents can work out with their kids.”

While people may have different reasons for picking up Tae Kwon Do,

Watson said “It boils down to the confidence level. When they get a

certain amount of confidence, they tend to not get into situations, and

when they do, they learn to react to them in a different way. It leads

them to a point where they generally don’t need to fight and they can

find other ways around” the situation.

Even though he has taught for many

years, Watson also competed in

statewide competitions in Arizona,

Colorado, and New Mexico. “I’ve won

just about every title that was of-

fered,” Watson explained. “I reached a

peak where I was expected to win.”

Watson hasn’t competed since 1996

and his main focus today is his stu-

dents.

“At this point, I enjoy watching people

grow and change and learn” Tae Kwon

Do, Watson said. “When I was younger,

it was all about the competitions. (my

students) out here are the most spe-

cial people in my life.”

Piedra Vista High School Softball CoachKevin Werth has loved baseball since hewas young. His life has been devoted to thesport, and recently Werth was named Na-tional High School Athletic Coaches Associa-tion Softball Coach of the Year.

“I was taken aback for sure – and sur-prised,” Werth said about receiving theprestigious title at the national conventionin Des Moines, Iowa, in June. “The companyI was with is an amazing group of guys whohave coached for 30 or more years. So to beawarded that was pretty humbling, to saythe least.”

“It is a great honor for him and a represen-tation of what Piedra Vista is as a whole. Itshows all of the hard work and dedicationfrom everyone,” said Kelly Thur, Piedra Vistaathletic director.

Werth has been coaching softball at PiedraVista in Farmington for 10 years and during

his time there the softball team has woneight consecutive state championships.

This year Piedra Vista beat Aztec HighSchool in the state championship gamewith a final score of 5-2.

“I think if you ask any coach who has beenfortunate enough to win a state champi-onship how much work goes into it – for agroup of girls to win eight in a row is a re-markable feat,” Werth explained.

But before coaching at Piedra Vista, Werthplayed baseball in high school and collegeand dabbled in coaching other sports.

Growing up in Grants, N.M., Werth playedbaseball through high school and eventuallywent to Sterling College in Kansas to playthe sport. He was there for one year andended up returning to New Mexico to attendNew Mexico Highlands.

A ‘Werth’while experience

PV Softball coach named nationalsoftball coach of the year

11Four Corners SPOrTSSeptember 2013

When he graduated from New Mexico High-

lands in 1995, Werth began coaching baseball.

His first coaching job was at Aztec High School.

“I coached under Kirk Carpenter,” Werth ex-

plained. Carpenter is now the Aztec School Dis-

trict’s superintendent.

After coaching in Aztec for one year, Werth ven-

tured to Shiprock, where he coached

wrestling, basketball, baseball, and football.

“I wanted to be a head coach and, realistically,

I wanted to be a head football coach one day,

but I saw that maybe I could take over the soft-

ball program at Shiprock.”

After coaching for the Shiprock softball team

for six years, Werth took on a coaching post at

Piedra Vista.

Now the high school’s varsity softball coach,

Werth said the coaching job has been reward-

ing because he enjoys seeing past players

flourish in college and the workforce. “When

your kids come back five or 10 years later and

say how much they appreciated what you did

for them – the discipline and work ethic in our

program taught them how to be successful in

life.”

Thur said Coach Werth has been extremely de-

voted to Piedra Vista and the success of its

softball program. “He has done a lot for Piedra

Vista as a whole. He established much success

in the softball program which lit a fire under

the other athletic programs” at the high

school, Thur said.

One of the hardest parts of coaching is saying

goodbye to players who are graduating from

high school, Werth explained. “It’s tough to see

them go. It’s also rewarding knowing they are

going off to do bigger and better things with

their lives.”

The Piedra Vista softball program has thrived

over the years, and Werth hopes to continue

the trend. “Our hopes are to continue doing

what we’ve been doing and creating an envi-

ronment where young ladies feel like they are

part of something bigger than themselves.”

He added the program’s “ultimate goal” is to

“continue to encourage them to be good peo-

ple and give them that vehicle to get to col-

lege.”

Bowling and

Fishing

by Tom Yost

Raymond Johnston

has fun, success

in both passions

A local fisherman has taken home a

national championship – as a bowler.

Raymond Johnston, 57, won the 2013

United States Bowling Congress

Senior Championship held in Reno,

Nev. His score of 2270 with handicap

won him the 55 to 59 age group by just

eight pins.

Johnston, a fourth generation Aztec

resident, has been bowling since he

was 6 years old. “I got started when

my father (Robert) took me bowling,”

said Johnston. “I used to bowl at least

six days a week, but now I only bowl

one night a week at Bowlero.”

His passion for bowling may have pre-

ceded by his passion for fishing. As the

founder and owner of Float ’N Fish Fly

Shop and Guide Service, Johnston and

his wife, Wanda, spend the majority of

their time accommodating the masses

near the Quality Waters of the San

Juan River.

“My grandfather and great-uncle were

fishermen and got me started fly fish-

ing on the San Juan River,” said John-

ston. “I started out as a civil engineer,

13Four Corners SpORTSSeptember 2013

but hated the corporate side of the industry.

Eventually I got sick of my job, cashed in my re-

tirement and started fishing. My wife and I had a

mid-life crisis in 1987, bought a piece of property

that came available, and built the shop. We have

been doing it ever since.”

What started as a way to enjoy being around fly-

fishing all the time, turned into a fortunate busi-

ness venture. “When we started Float ’N Fish, my

wife and I had no idea that it would become what

it has,” said Johnston. “The popularity of the river

exploded and we were fortunate enough to be in

the right place at the right time. It has been a

great experience.”

And what do bowling and fishing have in com-

mon?

“I really don’t think that they have anything in

common,” quipped Johnston. “I am just look-

ing for any way to goof off and play without

having to work.”

And with the fly fishing industry taking up the ma-

jority of his time, bowling has taken a back seat

in the last few years, which is why winning the

senior national championship came as such as

surprise.

“I thought I’d be done on July 3rd, so I didn’t even

book reservations to stay the extra day,” ex-

plained Johnston.

Johnston qualified for the event in Albuquerque,

where he won all of his events in the 55-59 age di-

vision. When he got to Reno, Johnston’s usual

bowling tendencies turned a 180 on him, to his

surprise.

“I am usually really good at picking up spares,”

explained Johnston. “In Reno, I missed 19 out of a

possible 20 spare opportunities.”

Out of 108 chances, though, Johnston made up

for his open frames by converting strikes on 88

of those chances.

“I bowled 268 in one game with 11 out of 12

strikes and one open frame,” recalled Johnston.

“In two other games, I was 10 out of 12.”

Three of our local establishments offer everygame, every Sunday and an enjoyable watchingexperience for the passionate NFL fan.

Crackers in Bowlero LanesFor those fans that have Attention Deficit Disor-der, Crackers is probably not the best place foryou.

Just watch your neck.

Figure and bikini competitions have become apopular sport for women in San Juan County.There are clubs dedicated to preparing womenof all ages to compete by showing off theirwell-proportioned muscled bodies.

Three area women trained for several months,working out every day in local gyms to buildjust enough muscle and lose the right amountof weight to be able to compete in the NationalPhysique Committee’s Mid-USA New MexicoState event July 6 in Albuquerque.

Holly Stock, 39, earned three first-placeawards. Tiffany Bingham, 37, received four sec-ond-place awards, and Dulcinee Nussbaum re-ceived a third-place ranking.

Stock, a school teacher at Mesa Verde Elemen-tary School, always has battled her weight, andeven tried every fad diet on the market. Shediscovered the only thing to help her stay fitand trim was working out and watching herdiet.

It was her husband, Steve Stock, who piquedher interest in the gym. “It was something wecould do together,” she said.

The couple has four children and worked outat Defined Fitness where there were optionsfor childcare. While there, Holly entered twoweight loss and fitness competitions spon-sored by the gym, and she won both.

After Holly won the Defined Fitness Revolutionin March 2013, defined Fitness trainer DeeNausbaum encouraged her to try competingon a higher level in a statewide or nationalcompetition.

From there Holly decided to put her faith insomeone who had a lengthy history in prepar-ing both men and women for fitness, figureand weightlifting competitions. She contactedAnthony Romero at Complete Physique.

Romero is the gym owner and has dedicatedhis life to training people for competition,sports and to better their health. He planned aworkout and a diet for Holly, and she said itmade all the difference in the world.

“I had so many results from Anthony,” she said.“He told me I had the symmetry, we justneeded to find the smaller me.”

Holly did this by following an eating plan de-signed specifically for her needs. “I measuremy food, and I have to eat six small meals aday,” she said. She prepares her daily menueach evening and packs a box with the foodshe will eat for the day. Everything is premea-sured to make sure she gets the right propor-tions to stay healthy.

“If it’s not in the box, I don’t eat it,” she said,adding that she keeps a book and logs every-thing she eats. Then she calculates the gramsof protein and carbohydrates, while calculat-ing her calories.

“When I started this I had my children in mind,”Holly said. “I wanted to be an example for themto be healthy. It became a big family thing.”Holly said that while she is self-driven, havingthe support of her family and the assistancefrom Romero made all the difference to her.She was able to achieve the goals she neededto achieve to be able to compete.

“I love Anthony (Romero) to death,” she said. “Ihad phenomenal results.”

She also developed a close friendship withTiffany Bingham, who became her workoutpartner at Complete Physique. Both womenhad similar goals and they provided each otherthe additional encouragement needed to meetthose goals.

Bingham, a mother of five, had a baby 20months ago and hadn’t worked out in twoyears, when she decided to train for competi-tion. She started preparing in November 2012.She began getting serious about competition13 weeks prior to the July event.

WHERE EVER THAT MAY BE.

“I didn’t have to lose a lot of weight,” Bing-

ham said. Her focus was on building muscle.

Her diet was a “little tricky.”

“It’s a numbers game with calorie counting –

counting fat and protein – and how many

times a day you eat,” Bingham said. “It’s a lot

of work and the first two weeks were the

hardest.”

A lot of her success came from the encour-

agement she received from other competi-

tors. “Women in this sport are very

supportive. They know how hard you have to

work and how disciplined you have to be,”

Bingham said.

While diet and exercise play a big part in this

type of competition, the women also have to

prepare mentally and physically to be on

stage. “We practiced hours and hours of pos-

ing, and when you get out on stage with the

lights blaring it’s totally different. All eyes

are on you,” Bingham said.

It was a terrific experience for both Stock

and Bingham, who said they went into the

competition knowing they had done every-

thing they could to get where they needed to

be for the event.

Afterwards, they came home regrouped and

began planning for the next competition. “It’s

not just saying you’re going to do this, it’s liv-

ing it,” Holly Stock said.

Nussbaum does live it. She has been a per-

sonal trainer for nine years but decided to

being preparing for competition after her

two children got older. Her success, she said,

comes from self-reflection and self-motiva-

tion.

At 35, the NPC competition was her second.

The first was the Musclemania competition in

June, where she placed second overall.

She helped Holly achieve her goals, while

working as a trainer at Defined Fitness, and

Nussbaum had a great time. “It was an expe-

rience I enjoyed,” she said, adding her goal is

to begin competing consistently with the

hopes of going pro.

The only thing in her way is the expense of

the sport. Nussbaum has sought assistance

from sponsors, and she will do the rest on

her own by being dedicated to her workout

routine and diet.

“It takes work,” Nussbaum said. “You can’t

say you’re going to do it and fall of the

wagon.”

Nussbaum plans to compete again in Novem-

ber, while Stock and Bingham are looking for-

ward to competing again in the summer of

2014.

The July tournament consisted of more than 500 teams, representing

four countries and 20 U.S. states, according to Derrick Smith, head

coach of the New Mexico Force 15U boys AAU.

“These young men have helped make the New Mexico Force 15U basket-

ball team one of the most successful AAU teams in New Mexico,”

Smith said of Castillo, Wood and Acosta. “The team has compounded a

21-3 record, three consecutive tournament championships, one runner-

up trophy, and a third place trophy in a tournament boasting over 500

teams.”

The event pitted the New Mexico Force against other basketball players,

who ranged in height from 6’7 to 6’11, while the tallest member of the

Force is 6’1.

“These young men were able to battle and fight their way through stiff

competition, even beating a team from Mexico by 58 points,” Smith said.

“These young men were able to accomplish amazing feats of will, deter-

mination and pride. They were able in three short days to make the city

of Farmington and the state of New Mexico really proud, and also re-

ward them with an amazing winning season.”

Federation. There is a $100 membership discount for National Rifle Asso-

ciation members. “The reason why the range is not open to everyone is if

things don’t cost, people don’t value it as much. The idea is this is their

club they are a part of. It is not something to discard,” said Mike Free-

stone, Federation vice president.

There are more than 900 members at the Federation, which offers vari-

ous shooting activities, or disciplines. These disciplines include Defen-

sive Pistol, Cowboy Action, and trap, skeet and five-stand clays.

“There are a lot of activities that go on here,” Freestone said. “This is a

safe place to shoot firearms and have the camaraderie with members. It

is a place to bring families and it is very enjoyable.

The various shooting ranges at the Federation’s complex include an in-

door 50-foot range, 100-yard range for rifles, 1,000-yard range, seven pis-

tol ranges with varying distances, and a shotgun range used for trap,

skeet, and five-stand clay.

There are even prop buildings set up for Cowboy Action, where people

dress up in appropriate theme apparel and quickly shoot at targets.

“They have a scenario where they shoot at targets in a certain order in

the shortest amount of time possible,” said Steve White, Federation

board member.

Along with learning about firearm safety and participating in shooting

events, the Federation also offers wildlife conservation courses taught

by the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish. “We are really focusingDouge Mckim

water and land,” Standley ex-

plained.

The Federation also provides

shooting experiences for

youths interested in learning

about the sport.

Every year, there is a Youth Sports-

fest where children ages 8

through 18 learn about

firearm safety and the differ-

ent disciplines. This year’s

Youth Sportsfest begins on

Sept. 21 and more than 100

children signed up to partici-

pate in the activities, accord-

ing to Standley.

Another activity of that youth can be a part is

the Youth Airgun League, which consists of

air rifle and air pistol shooting.

“The nice thing about the youth program is it

starts out with five hours of safety instruc-

tion not only for air rifles, but general gun

safety,” Standley said, adding that children

15 years old and under must be accompanied

by a parent.

White teaches the Youth Airgun League. The

program cost $5 per match and children can

sign up on the Federation’s website,

www.sjwf.org. “The Wildlife Federation pro-

vides everything and they just need to show

up,” White explained.

The Junior Air Rifle League is recruiting

shooters for the fall program. The league

meetings will be held at 6:30 p.m. on Sunday,

Sept 22, at the Federation’s complex. The

league will begin on Sept. 23 and last until

Dec. 16.

The champsSummer comes to an end with the finish of the crown jewel of the Farm-ington sports year and the East Cobb Yankees winning this year’s Con-nie Mack World Series.

The Yankees swept their way to their sixth Series championship with a6-2 win over the 2012 champs, the Southern California Renegades. EastCobb used impressive starting pitching and timely hitting to cruise tothe title. The Yankees finished 5-0 in the Series including wins over theSouth Troy Dodgers, D-BAT, the host team Strikezone, and a pair of winsover Southern California.

Beginning in 1999 the Yankees started a four-title trend of winning theSeries in odd years up through 2005 and has been a perennial chal-lenger every year breaking the trend and winning in 2008 prior to thisyear’s title.

The host teamThe Series is always a little more interesting when the home team doeswell and this year’s host team kept the fans at Ricketts hopeful for ashot at an initial title. The Strikezone Cardinals reached the Final Four ofthe Series, which by any standard is a successful showing in the na-tional tournament. The Cardinals stormed back after losing a close

opening night matchup with D-BAT with wins

over Puerto Rico and the Frozen Ropes from

McKinney, Texas. The two wins and a timely

bye put the Cardinals in the semifinals mix

before bowing out to the champion Yankees.

Of course for the Series to come off as well as

it does every year the Host Team consists of

more than the product Farmington puts on

the field. The Series committees, host fami-

lies, volunteers, field crew and fans are es-

sential parts of the Series’ success and all of

them came through with a completely tri-

As usual, Connie Mack week is a great time to

turn off the sprinkler system and let the natu-

ral course of World Series rain do the job.

This year was no different, as Mother Nature

threw the teams a curve cancelling a night of

able task of playing a pair of games in a sin-

undefeated perennial favorite Midland

Redskins out in just a few hours, losing

both games of a Wednesday double-

header.

Speaking of the weather, the Ricketts

Park ground crew did an incredible job

getting the field ready to play on after

Tuesday’s storm. Not only did they get

the game in after a nearly three-hour,

constant rain delay, they got the field

ready to go by 9 a.m. the next morning

for the makeup game. This, of course,

is no surprise to the faithful that have

watched the ground crew work mira-

cles year after year.

The best of ….

Heartbreak of the series goes to Mid-

land pitcher Wyatt Short. Short had a

no-hitter going in to the bottom of the

sixth inning against D-BAT in a loser’s

out game. D-BAT scored two runs on

two hits to chase Short, then went on

to win the game on a walkoff single 3-2

The best defensive play of the Series

turned out to be all for naught, as D-

BAT centerfielder, Nick Ramos made a

spectacular over the shoulder diving

catch that at the time looked to save

the D-BAT’s series as they held on to a

lead over the Renegades. The next in-

ning, the Renegades rallied to eliminate

D-BAT 4-2 and move into the finals.

The most impressive play during the

Series was in what ended up being a

rout of a game. Southern California

Renegade outfielder Gavin Collins took

off on a 1-1 count from third base and

stole home on a straight steal. With the

number 42 on his back, it was hard not

to think of another 42 doing the same

60 years ago – Jack Roosevelt Robin-

son.

Another summer comes to an end with

the end of the World Series. It was an-

other memorable week at the city’s sig-

nature event with solid crowds, great

host housing and a committee and city

crew that puts forth a banner effort to

make the Connie Mack World Series a

smooth running quality event. Only 11

months and we can do it all again.

Baseball, football, swimming, tennis, basketball, golf and

volleyball.

Baseball was my favorite as a kid. My high school favorites

were football and tennis. My college favorites were football

and volleyball. Now, baseball is probably the favorite to

coach with football right after. Quoting Mark twain, “Golf is a

good walk spoiled,” but it is nice to get out and participate

to keep sane.

I became a coach because of my love of sports. I am not one

who can sit still. Sports and coaching allow me to keep

active. Sports teach character and qualities that transition

into everyday life and mannerisms. I started coaching in

2012.

My own kids I coach in any sport they want to participate in

– volleyball, softball, football, baseball, golf, swimming,

basketball and soccer). As a coach in the community I coach

baseball FABC, football (YAFL and Mesa View Middle School),

and softball (Four Corners girls). I also used to coach

soccer when the kids were younger.

FABC, Connie Mack Committee, Four Corners YAFL, San Juan

Safe Communities, District Attorney’s office Community

Assistance team – and I try to avail myself to the school

districts as they may need assistance.

patience, patience and more patience. parents and coaches

need to remember that all age groups of student athletics

are developmental stages. It’s not all about the win at the

end of a game, but rather learning and applying what they

have been working on in practices.

Encourage kids to play the game. Encourage them to better

themselves – not the person next to them. then teach them

the fundamentals of their sport. then let them make the

mistakes and learn and grow from the mistakes. this is a

lesson that if they learn it, they can carry with them

throughout life. And they can have fun!

patience, patience and more patience. they teach me that

they are more than willing to learn if you are willing to listen

to them. Kids like to win and hate to lose, but they bounce

back from losses quickly. Kids teach me that even in our

everyday life, playing the game is about having fun. If you

win it stays with you forever; if you lose then there is always

next time. As adults we often forget that when you lose, it is

not the end of the world, we forget to “get back up on the

horse again.” Kids remind us to get back up and get back in

the game.

Without knowing that I was learning, my coaches taught me

to play my hardest and play within the rules, and that

structure in sporting activities builds towards structure in

life.

Play within the rules. If you suffer losses, remember to get back up.

The San Juan River below Navajo Dam is currently flowing at 493 cfs. Fishing remains very

good in the Quality Waters, even with the flows constantly changing. The best times to hit

the water are 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Some hot spots to try your luck are between the Texas Hole

and the Cable Hole. Some rigs to try are a size 22 gray Big Mac midge and a size 24 black

and olive midge emerger. Another rig to consider trying is a size 24 gray midge emerger

followed by a size 24 black zebra midge. Also, with the midge hatches being very strong,

don't forget to have a few dry flies in your bag of tricks. Some of the best patterns for the

surface have been a size 20 Griffiths gnat and a size 22 CDC single midge.

Just below the Quality Waters fishing remains fair. The bait of choice is a nightcrawler

worm and the lure of choice is a gold Panther Martin. If you are fly fishing the bait water,

the rig to try is a size 16 orange San Juan worm followed by a size 22 chocolate foam

wing.

Johnston credits much of his success in win-

ning the national championship to a particu-

lar league that used to happen on Tuesday

nights at Bowlero Lanes in Farmington. This

particular league used lane conditions that

were patented by the Professional Bowlers

Association, or the PBA. These same lane con-

ditions are used on a week-in and week-out

basis by the professionals, challenging the

very best bowlers in the world.

“I had a chance during that Tuesday night

league to bowl in a lot of different lane condi-

tions,” said Johnston. “That more than any-

thing helped prepare me for the lane

conditions I faced in Reno.”

“Unfortunately, that league doesn’t exist any-

more due to a lack of participation. The con-

ditions were so tough that it was too hard for

a lot of the people who participated. Their

scores went down and they didn’t have much

fun – but it made me a better bowler.”

So what is next on the national champion’s

bowling agenda?

“League play will be starting back up soon

and then I will have to qualify for the 2014

Senior National Championship in Albu-

querque again,” stated Johnston. “They don’t

give exemptions for defending champions.”

When the first signs of fall are found in the

Four Corners region, fundraising events such

as golf tournaments frequently are scheduled.

The first of the fall tournaments began sept. 8

with the first Theater Ensemble Arts golf tour-

ney at Aztec’s Hidden Valley Golf Club, 29

County Road 3025 in Aztec. it was a four-per-

son tourney for the purpose of raising funds

for the non-profit community theater organiza-

tion.

The weekend of sept. 13 and 14 brings the

24th Annual san Juan College Foundation Golf

scramble at Piñon Hills Golf Course. it is open

to individual golfers for a fee of $250. That in-

cludes green fees, dinner and an opportunity

to win door prizes.

We’re proud of this tournament,” said Gayle

Dean, executive director of the san Juan Col-

lege Foundation. “it’s a top notch event and

people are always eager to participate – espe-

cially knowing that the money raised goes di-

rectly into the hands of the students.”

Corporate sponsors helped to sponsor the

event. Those include Wells Fargo Bank and

Aztec Well servicing, among others, and one of

those sponsors will receive two rounds of golf

at Pebble Beach®, two nights lodging at the

Pebble Beach Resorts ®, and airfare.

in addition, two players in the tournament will

receive two rounds of golf each at the Glacier

Club Golf Course, north of Durango.

Farmington’s Living Life After

Stroke Support Group also plans

to have a golf tournament Oct.

11 and 12 at Piñon Hills Golf

Course. It is developed through

the First Swing Program.

This event will include a “train-

the-trainer clinic” on Oct. 11. It

will be conducted by instructors

from The National Amputee Golf

Association. The morning ses-

sion of the first day will be in

Room 9008 at San Juan College.

It is designed for therapists and

golf Pros who want to learn how

to work with disabled persons

who want to play golf.

The clinic will cover such topics

as how to hold a golf club, over-

coming challenges with the ap-

propriate grip, how to assume

the stance, addressing the ball,

set-up, and balance, the rules of

golf and differences presented

by various types of disabilities,

element of the swing from a

standing and seated position,

demonstrations of adaptive

equipment, ADA implications,

use of accessible golf carts and

safety.

The afternoon session will be at

Piñon Hills Golf Course, where

participants will put into prac-

tice what they learned in the

classroom.

On Oct. 12, the therapists will be

able to facilitate a free golf

clinic for disabled persons. The

registration fee for the clinic is

$25 and it includes continuing

education units for therapists.

The registration deadline, for at-

tending therapists, is Friday,

Sept. 13.

Participants need to bring golf

clubs, including a driver and

putter, comfortable clothing for

golf, sunscreen, water, and a de-

sire to play golf.

The First Swing program was de-

signed to bring golf profession-

als, healthcare professionals,

and the physically challenged to-

gether to teach, learn or relearn

and enjoy the game of golf, be-

cause golf “offers many possibil-

ities to all ages and all potential

abilities. It can contribute dra-

matically to an individual’s phys-

ical wellbeing, instilling

confidence and pride in personal

achievement, and can be a lot of

fun,” according to Gary Willmart,

who is organizing the tourna-

ment. It has been presented to

more than 9,000 individuals with

disabilities.

This event is sponsored by Dis-

abled American Veterans Chari-

table Trust, Orthotic &

Prosthetic Assistance Fund, PGA

Foundation, and The National

Amputee Golf Association.
