“Some people bowl to be with their mates, family, or friends. Some people bowl to get away from their mates, family, or friends.” Friday nights from 7 p.m. to closing, you can bowl three lines for $5. Jackpot bowling is held Saturday night at 8 p.m. Tickets for New Years Eve Jackpot are on sale at the lanes. “The Dewey” No-Tap will take place this weekend. Shift times for Saturday are 1, 3, and 5 p.m. and Sunday’s will be at 1 and 3 p.m. This tourney was named in memory of Duaine Sloan, a man who dedicated many, many years to the local youth organization. There will be no league bowling this weekend for the Havre Youth. The PeeWee league will not be bowling Sunday also. Six-year-olds were on top of the bumpers Sunday during the PeeWees. Caleb Hansen had three spares and a 104 and one spare helped Peyton Brown to an 80. The following each had one strike: Donoven Cooper with an 83, Trent Shettel 96, and Riley Kutzler 90. Jacey McDonald and Daeton Keeler had the highs for the Bantams. Jacey shot an 80, 59 and a 139 and Daeton a 100, 67 and 167. Kendall Holden had a 51 game and a 90 series; Tony Antley a 67 series; Amy McMullen a 75 and 131 series; and Laine Shettel an 84 series. Prep highs were a 121 and 310 by Tyrell Pierce. Ryne Antley’s 107 and 310 and Sonya McMahan’s 103, 88,and 261. Trey Brown had a 116 and 303; Shania Carlson a 93 and 238; and Tara McCormick a 190 series. Roman Surber rolled games of 203 and 188 on his way to a 562 on the Junior/Majors. Payton Robertson had a 190, Paul Jensen a 456, and Matt Olson a451. On the gals side, Tianna Drew had the high series of 341 with a 118. Kaitlynn McKnight and Jessica Erickson threw the high games of 140. Jessica had a 327 and Kaitlynn a 309. Gayla George, Brian Moore, and Tiffany Kimberling have age-adders on Sunday. Minnow Mariani picked a 9-10; Marie Jund 2-7; Ruby Worstell 5-10; and Bill Dougherety and Neva Miller 5-7s. For years I have not included the picked “baby splits” (2-7 and 3-10) in the news. They have always been the most pickable splits for bowlers and in years past would have taken up half the news. Our bowling numbers are down, way down, from what they once were, so if you like, include your 2-7s and 3-10s, they will be here. Congrats to Byron Eggum for a nice 185 all-spare. Lisa Morrell’s 223 was high and the series of 573 was by Dana Seidel. Lisa had a 543 and Dana a 217. Christy Holden shot a 503, Norma Mariani a 501 and Barb DeRosa a 210 and 514. Art Olson lit up the lanes last Monday night with games of 258, 268 and 244 for a huge series of 770. Kelly Olson had a 244; Ron Turner a 642 and 649; Ken Riska a 603; Ryan Mapes a 627; Roy Hamilton a 600; Jim Keeler a 602; and Bret Preeshl a 612. Olson ended the night with the high four-game series of 962. Ron Turner scored an 820. The lady pros will be seen again this Sunday during the men’s regular tour finals. The show will air on ESPN at 11a. m. If you missed last Sunday’s show you missed two pros wading their way through their games. It’s not very often you see a pro win a match with a game in the 160s. And they tell us to adjust!! They bowl more in a week or two than we do in an entire season.

Lions, is not ruling out a return to the playing field. He told a news conference Tuesday that he would also consider coaching or a career outside football but for now all he wants to do is explore his options for a month or so. "I know there will be interest," Dickenson said. "I'm sure that if I want to do something I can get a job in all three facets." The 5-foot-11, 195-pound Dickenson, who signed with B.C. as a free agent in 2003 after an unsuccessful bid to play in the NFL, suffered his third concussion in less than two years this season. In 2005 he was out with ankle sprains in addition to a concussion. In 2004 he missed 10 games with a knee injury. He was released Monday after being told by coach and general manager Wally Buono that the club couldn't justify his $400,000 paycheck against the CFL's salary cap when the money could be used to re-sign other core players. Dickenson said he was proud of how he and the club handled the situation but hasn't talked to Buono about his future here. "There's been a lot of good things but I guess the tough part is that it is a business," he said. "But ... I was treated fairly and Wally was nothing but class." On the other hand, Dickenson said if he had led the team to a Grey Cup title, a bonus clause in his contract would have kicked in during the new salary cap year and made it difficult to release him. The Lions didn't make it to the CFL title game, losing the West Division final 26-17 to the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Dickenson entered the game late in the first half but couldn't rally the Lions past the eventual Grey Cup champions. "It needed to be done this way," Dickenson said. "I structured my contract so that if I played well and things went my way it would be pretty hard to release me. "And if it didn't go my way and things happen like they did, then you're at least released earlier and you've got a chance to keep your options open." He didn't rule out a return to the Lions. "There might be life somewhere else, there might also be an opportunity here," he told reporters at the club's suburban practice facility. Dickenson, a 10-year veteran who turns 35 on Jan. 11, has two Grey Cup rings one with the Calgary Stampeders, one with the Lions after 10 years in the CFL. He didn't start in any of the Lions' last three games but played in all of them without concussion symptoms that earlier in the season saw him wearing dark glasses on the sidelines. "I had no symptoms," Dickenson said. "Obviously I didn't play as well as I'd liked but I certainly held my own. That at least opened that door." Dickenson began his CFL career in 1997 with Calgary after leading the University of Montana to the 1995 NCAA Division I-AA national championship. The Lions finished first in the West Division four times as Dickenson went 33-14 as a starter. He was the most outstanding player in the 2006 Grey Cup victory, his fourth appearance in the CFL championship game. In 2003, he was the West nominee for most outstanding player, and was the CFL's most outstanding player in 2000 with the Stamps. But he doesn't want to return to playing in a diminished role. "I'd love to keep playing but ... there's got to be a time to step away. Nobody wants to remember (great San Francisco 49ers receiver) Jerry Rice as a Seattle Seahawk. "I don't think I'm in that same class but I do think that if you're just an afterthought, if you're not wanted, there's no reason to play." Jarious Jackson played most of the season at quarterback for the Lions and was 9-2 as a starter. The Lions are looking to negotiate a new contract with the former Notre Dame star and Buck Pierce, regarded as Dickenson's No. 1 backup at the start of the season, is under contract until 2009. "I don't think the cupboard's bare by any means," Dickenson said. "There's good players here."
