Joe Joe Guarnieri fires 300 game
Sixteen-year-old Joe Joe Guarnieri fired his first perfect game in the Rab’s Youth Summer Scholarship Triples League last Friday at Rab’s Country Lanes.
The perfecto came in the middle game of a 701 set. He started the night with a 173, and finished with a 228.
If you remember, Guarnieri, who has been bowling since the age of 2, and his mom, Cathy, set up a makeshift lane in front of their Midland Beach home during the pandemic while the alleys were shut down.
“Bowling my first 300 feels great!” said Guarnieri, a two-handed bowler. “I have been working hard to achieve my goal. I’m so glad my mom was there to watch me throw my first 300. It’s a great feeling to bowl the 300 right before Junior Gold Nationals.”
Guarnieri, whose previous high game was a 296 rolled two weeks ago, is averaging 215 in the loop.
The 701 series was well below his career-high 771.
“I want to thank my dad, Nick Bellomo, (Country Lanes proprietor) Frank Wilkinson and Melissa Kammerer, my coach, for all that they’ve done for me,” said the St. Peter’s High Schooler. “Also my grandmother and grandfather, Judy and Anthony (Guarnieri), for coming to all my tournaments.”

Blood drive held on Staten Island for boy’s birthday after mom’s complications during pregnancy

STATEN ISLAND, New York (WABC) — A blood drive was hosted at a bowling alley on Staten Island Wednesday, in celebration of a young boy’s first birthday after his mother needed blood transfusions following childbirth.
The drive was a welcome sight after the New York Blood Center announced a blood emergency last month due to an alarming drop in blood donations. The region’s blood supply currently stands at a 2-3-day level, which is well below the ideal level of 5-7 days.
So while most people give presents, the McAuliffe family gave blood, as a way to give back to the community and ensure that there are life-saving blood donations available for anyone who may need it, like Stephanie McAuliffe.
The Staten Island mother developed a condition during her pregnancy called placenta accreta and placenta previa, which causes a dramatic increase in bleeding, and can even lead to death.
She needed six units of blood to replace what was lost when giving birth to her son Russell.
“Really just laying in that bed, and I saw my husband in NICU, I said I can’t believe that I’m alive, it was always a fear of mine,” Stephanie McAuliffe said.
But she has now turned that pain into purpose, holding a blood drive where at least 60 donors have signed up. The New York Blood Center says they are grateful.
“I would say that we are probably actually at 50%, but definitely not at 60 or 65%,” said Chantal Mehu of the New York Blood Center.
The blood drive was held at Rab’s Country Lanes and is the second blood drive that they have hosted.
“This is the second blood drive in the last year that we’ve hosted as a result of the pandemic and the shortages, so to be able to open our doors, have a space to do so, that’s why we’re here,” said Frank Wilkinson of Rab’s County Lanes.
As for the condition that Stephanie McAuliffe had, placenta accreta and placenta previa are serious conditions that can cause complications for the baby and mother. It’s become more and more common. In fact, the cases have quadrupled since the 1980’s, due to the increasing number of C-sections.
But Wednesday marked a celebration of both birth and survival, and was a way of gathering donors while larger companies still have fewer people at the office.
Stephanie McAuliffe’s husband said his wife is a guiding light and a positive example at a time when it’s needed the most.
The NYBC encourages all who are able to sign up and donate today.

Live from Rab’s, launched in March of 2020 as a daily live web series hosted by Nazareth Laursen and Frank Wilkinson of Rab’s Country Lanes where they talk bowling, community, sports, entertainment, and so much more with special guests from around the Globe. Through 150+ episodes, hundreds of guests, over a million views, and 2 years later, the series continues today through the airing of special events and the original format talk show. The web series airs live on Facebook and YouTube and may also be found on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
“Now, more than ever, it is necessary to celebrate video work that reflects the top tier of our industry, such as Live from Rab’s,” says Telly Awards Executive Director Sabrina Dridje. “This year’s submissions reflect an industry that has returned to the important work of storytelling, one that has returned with a new perspective that values innovation, agility, equity, and tenacious creativity.”
“Live from Rab’s was created as a way for us to stay connected with our community during what would become one of the most challenging periods of time for all of us,” says Frank Wilkinson, Proprietor of Rab’s Country Lanes, and co-creator/host of Live from Rab’s. “What we [Nazareth and I] thought would only continue for a couple of weeks, turned into a permanent fixture for Rab’s and our online presence. To be recognized with a prestigious Telly Award for something we have fun doing is truly the icing on the cake.”
Today’s winners announcement caps a year-long celebration of creators producing work with a new POV and a refreshed creativity, reflecting an ever-changing landscape emerging from the difficulties and opportunities from the last few years.
In function of this, a series of new categories were introduced to reflect and celebrate ways in which video has continued to be used as a critical tool for communication, notably within and across a new culture of working. These new categories, including Workplace Culture, Recruitment and Education & Training, celebrate the companies using video at a time when the culture of a company has never been so critical to attract and retain talent.
“Whether it’s new ways of remote working, placing purpose at the center of a businesses key values or providing Employee Resource Groups for communities to gather and support each internally, says Dridje, “this year’s incredible group of winners perfectly exemplifies the many artful and unique ways video is being used to tackle these timely topics. By introducing our new categories, we’re continuing to deliver on our mission of constantly evolving with the changing industry and the world.”
Last year, The Telly Awards attracted more than 12,000 entries from top video content producers including Netflix, Jennifer Garner, HBO Latin America, Microsoft, RadicalMedia, Condé Nast, Adobe, Nickelodeon, and Partizan.
