Extractions: History Nationally Special Olympics started in June of 1963, when Eunice Kennedy Shriver started a summer day camp for children and adults who were physically and mentally handicapped. Shriver is the executive vice-president of the Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. Foundation. She is the honorary chairman of Special Olympics. In 1968, Special Olympics International was established as a non-profit charitable organization under the laws of the District of Columbia. The National Association of Retarded Citizens, The Council for Exceptional Children and the American Association of Mental Deficiency pledge their support. This was the first systematic effort to provide sports training and athletic competition for individuals with mental retardation. Special Olympics growth has been spectacular since those first years. There are accredited Special Olympics programs in more than 144 countries with new programs continually developing. In the United States there are established chapters in all 50 states. Back to top Locally In Elko the Special Olympics chapter has been quite a success and the program has helped a tremendous amount of our local physically and mentally challenged citizens. The Special Olympics program director in Elko is Sue Davis. Sue is an energetic and caring mother and is also the program director at the Vitality Center which rehabilitates dependency problems. Mrs. Davis has a bright, energetic daughter named Cari that is a competitor in the local and state games. Special Olympics is a non-profit organization and has fund raisers every year to help pay for equipment, travel expenses to tournaments etc. A great example of this is the "Muddy Ball" game every year that is a messy good time all to raise money for the local Special Olympics.

Olympic Champion Dave Wottle During his track and cross country career at bowling Green State University the Municholympics was one of the closest finishes in olympic history, most people http://www.northark.net/Departments/jph/Wottle.htm
Extractions: May 20, 2002 Dave Wottle, whose dramatic finish in the 1972 Munich Olympics earned him a Gold Medal in the 800-meter-run, will be the featured speaker Monday, May 20 in the John Paul Hammerschmidt Lecture Series at North Arkansas College. His lecture, which is open to the public free of charge, will start at 7 p.m. in the Conference Center of the John Paul Hammerschmidt Business and Conference Center on Northarks South Campus. During his track and cross country career at Bowling Green State University, Wottle earned All-American honors eight times while breaking the four-minute-mile no less than 18 times. In the 1972 Olympic Trials, he qualified for the Olympic Games in both the 800 meters and in the 1,500 meters. His performance in the 800 meters was especially memorable as he tied the world record with a time of 1:43.3. The following year he became the third fastest miler of all time by running a 3:53.3 mile. Wottle was inducted into the National Track and Field Hall of Fame in 1980. Although his Gold Medal victory in the Munich Olympics was one of the closest finishes in Olympic history, most people remember Wottle more for the tattered golf cap he wore during the race than for the race itself. Daves talk at Northark, entitled The Winning Attitude, will focus on the need for hard work, goal setting, confidence, concentration, and competitive spirit in the life of a successful person.

Articles on Bowling Origins of Bowling: The International Bowling Museum and Hall of Fame has replicas of artifacts for a game similar to bowling which were found in the tomb of an ancient Egyptian youth who died approximately 5,200 BC. Ancient Polynesians rolled stones at objects from a distance of 60 feet (18.29 meters) - the same distance as from foul line to headpin. During the 3d and 4th centuries, bowling was a religious ceremony for determining absence of sin. German parishioners had to roll or throw an object at a pin or kegel (derivation of the word kegler for bowler) to avoid performing an act of penance. The earliest known legislation against bowling dates to 14 th Century England. The sport had become so popular that people were neglecting the archery practice necessary for national defense during the 100 Year War (a misnomer, since it actually lasted from 1337 to 1453). Both King Edward III who reigned from 1327-1377 and King Richard II (1377-1399) banned the game. From Europe to America, bowling has been banned throughout the world for the "evil it leashes on society." A life size diorama at The International Bowling Museum and Hall of Fame portrays Martin Luther bowling on the single lane at the side of his home. A brochure from the Museum states that Luther, an avid bowler, "once preached a sermon which, if put into bowling vernacular, proclaimed we all strive for perfection in life. But if we roll a gutterball, all is not lost."

Earlier at the state capitol, Governor Atiyeh lit and handed the State Games of Oregon torch to then Senator John Kitzhaber. After 3 miles the torch was handed off to the State Games relay team. The torch was carried to the opening ceremonies in Civic Stadium in time for torchlighter Robin Marks, former Queen of Rosaria and outstanding track athlete, to light the cauldron after Governor Atiyeh officially opened the Games. Three sports were added to the 1987 (figure skating, boardsailing, shooting) and limited regional competition was introduced in Bend, Medford and Eugene. Some 5,000 athletes participated. The torch relay began in Salem with Attorney General Dave Frohnmayer handing the torch off to the State Games relay team. Governor Neil Goldschmidt "opened" the State Games.

Extractions: Jeremy isn't driving a new Mercedes or sporting a $60 million Nike contract like Tiger. "I am amazed," said Jeremy, "at the people who ask for my autograph" Jeremy didn't disappoint the dozens of fans... who cheered him on as he shot yet another 300 game to add some excitement to the event. "The idea that we can all have such a great time bowling while raising thousands of dollars for a worthy cause like leukemia research gives me a really great feeling," October 21, 1997 Collegiate bowler registers "firsts" by Jan Leasure What Jeremy may not realize is that the tremendous visibility that he received under the spotlight of bowling the "900" has reflected in a most unique and positive way for the sport of bowling itself. Jeremy may unknowingly end up being the single-most positive catalyst that helps shine new respect on a sport that has traditionally fought for it's place to be viewed as more than a pizza and beer recreation. "I am amazed," said Jeremy, "at the people who ask for my autograph whenever I walk into a bowling center. It warms my heart when junior bowlers ask me questions about bowling and tell me that they would like to bowl as well as I do. I understand because I still feel this way about the pros that I admire like Amletto Monacelli. I almost couldn't believe it myself when I had the honor of conducting a junior bowling clinic with Amletto just prior to the Lima Ohio Regional in September at a local middle school. For me this was a dream come true."
