He discovered the grass is only greener here (it\u2019s blue in Kentucky), so he returned to again take charge of his 1954 green Hudson Hornet that had been in storage, refilled his pipe, and is continuing his smokin\u2019 ways.

Give up? Because the Kitsap Scratch Bowlers Association is about on us and Scott Evans at the Bremerton\u00a0 Parks and Recreation is gearing up for the Bremerton City Basketball League. This, Big Dawg, will be the 42<sup>nd<\/sup> season for KSBO.\u00a0 The local bowlers open the season with the Tony\u2019s Restaurant Open and the 205-and-Under George Shafer Memorial at All Star\u00a0 &amp; Casino in Silverdale. The KSBO won\u2019t return to Olympic Lanes because it\u2019s too difficult to get security clearance\u00a0 at Bangor. \u00a0KSBO will now hold 12 tournaments and split them into two seasons. KSBO will be silent from Dec. 6 to Feb. 7. Other changes include the ability of members prepaying two tournaments even though they might now bowl in them. That makes it easier to have the required six tournaments to qualify for the finals. Prepaid entry must be paid before the tournament you would have bowled in begins.\u00a0 For the first time, Big Dawg, youth bowlers at least 15 years of age can bowl in a KSBO singles event if they have an average of 175 or greater. Winnings will be awarded in the form of scholarship money\u2026\u00a0 Evans is now accepting team registration for the Bremerton City Basketball League. The deadline is Wednesday. The season runs from Oct. 6 to Dec. 11 and includes eight division games plus a season-ending tournament. Contact Evans at (360) 473-5427 or go to the city Website at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ci.bremerton.wa.us\/\">www.ci.bremerton.wa.us<\/a>. Click on Parks and Recreation, sports and then Basketball. You are not too old to play, Big Dawg, but you must be able to walk. \u2026 North Kitsap Babe Ruth is looking for volunteers for the 2915 baseball season.
